THE PATHWAY TO BEAUTY,

To have beautiful hands, one has

hand is a gift of nature, a dainty.

A Simple Emergency CURRENCY

Mr. Arthur ,IIansl, New York banker.
suggests thru the columns of the New
York Tribune an emergency currency
plan that is so conservative and so
easily adopted that it would not be at all
surprising IL it should receive general
Endorsement, and, perhaps, adoption by
congress.
Mr.. Hansl says the country now has
!, q large enough volume of money; what
lis lacking is it's proper distribution, It
often happening that money is scarce in
a part Of the country that has a press
ing demand for it. To meet these emer
genctes, Mr.. Hansl suggests that ma
tional banks be permitted, with the con-
sent of the controller of the currency To
increase their circulation up to SO per
cent Of their capital by notes which must
be redeemed within six months by depos-
it with the secretary of the treasury of an
equal amount Of gold, currency or nation
al bank bills These notes are to consti-
tute first lien on all the assets of the
bank of issue and are to have a govern
mental guarantee and redemption as
other national bank notes have They
are to be in appearance precisely like
other bank notes. To restrict them to
the function of emergency circulation
they are to be taxed at the rate of to
AZ per cent, according to the amount of
circulation, with an additional tax of 2
per cent in case an issue follows within
six months of the date of redemption OF
a previous issue.
This seems simple and feasible plan
1t would involve no important departure
from our present national bankins
methods, which is the practical defect
Of many other plans, in view Of the tie
nacity with which the public crings to
the present system. 1t would probably

The Macaroni Campaign.

latter Is proven to be intrinsically not

This is a little severe on some very
worthy persons. Macaroni wheat has not

millers and grain men to be intrinsically
worth more than No. hard. 1t IS a new
product. not understood, Ind received
with suspicion. It must make it's way. It
can not do that in year or two, but
II it has the merits claimed for It, 1t will
soon get its dues. The reference made
by the Ransom farmers to the similarity
between the present attitude Of the mar
ket toward the new wheat and the chilli
now widely used varieties, when first
introduced, is merely proof that macaroni
wheat is simply meeting the fate Of all
new corners into the wheat world.
One thing that would help the new
wheat in Its fight for recognition would
be the adoption of a new name. "Maca-
roni' suggests dagos, and in this country
dagos are not held in very high esteem.
BY another name macaroni wheat bread
might taste much sweeter and the grain
be more highly priced. Russian hard
or some other name would help push the
new wheat into public favor If 1t deserves
to be in favor.

The investigation Of the management
OF the British war against the Beers is
not improving the reputation of Mr.. Brod-
rick, the war minister, and has brought
out the complaint that there is too much
of a tendency In England to look upon poll
itics as a means Of dignified diversion for
the leisure class. This complaint comes
from English sources, but 1t echoes an
opinion that has been entertained by most
American students Of English politics. To
us there is something unbusinesslke and
dilettante about English statesmen. Eng
land Is great business nation. the center
of an immense empire, and yet her bust
ness men do not rule or control. The
rulers Of England are very largely Of
the hereditary aristocracy. From, the
American point Of view, intrusting gov
eminent to such class Is good deal
as if we were to draw our statesmen from
Newport, tho the English aristocracy is
much more sober institution than the
Newport set.

On the Isthmus.

The revolution in Panama, said to have
been the result Of the rejection Of the
canal treaty by the Colombian govern
ment, is another evidence, If any were
needed, of the necessity Of sufficient
United States government control over
the strip of territory occupied by the
canal, to insure protection of that work.
The Colombian government is, Of course,
the constituted authority, having power
to accept or reject such proposals as the
treaty submitted by our government, and
the rejection Of that treaty in any well
ordered country would mean an end to
the matter unless negotiations were re-
newed thru the proper authorities. But
they do things differently in those Span
ish-Amercan republics. When the situa-
ton does not please considerab BILE faction
or an ambitious leader, instead Of seeking
to change it by constitutional methods, a
revolution is started and there is an ap-
peal to arms. 90 ....
While a successful Panama revolu-
ton, resulting In the secession of that
state from the Colombian republic might
be to our advantage, so far as the canal
enterprise Is concerned, it could not es-
tablish any confidence in the permanence
Of any government in Panama which owes
Its existence to such forces. Our govern
ment has not asked more than was wise
in the way Of jurisdiction and power to
defend the canal which 1t proposes to
build against the hazards Of frequent and
ruthless outbreaks Of irresponsible bit
ambitious men in that country.

a POET in HOOPS

Z ! * 1. ! /. Z
The Bookman publishes an interesting
photo of a painting Of Elizabeth Barrett
browning, owned by the Authors club Of
New York. There are some very attrac-
tive portraits OF Mrs Browning. but the
attractive ones show only her head and
shoulders, which suggest the poet to the
manner born" The Bookman's portrait
reveals the author Of Casa Guidi Win
doWs' and Aurora Leigh in grotesquely
distended and unpoetic hoops. Nothing
SO positively frightful and hopeIessly de-
forming as crinoline. Take Mrs Brown
ing out of hoops and throw light, t1eecy,
fluffy fabrics in graceful folds and sinuosi-
ties about her form and she would at once
introduce the atmosphere Of that golden
cline where poets are supposed to be
born and nurtured. Mrs. Browning in
hoops Is a pitiful caricature. Where has
vanished the poet? Where the musical
spirit Of rhythm, the poetry of motion, the
subtle fragrance of symphonic bloom?
Mrs. Browning in hoops repudiates her
brilliant birthright.

Generally each year is unearthed the
best horse Of the century; also, generally,
like great novels, one season shows the

them. OF Orme's year was another Or
mond colt Of high class, Goldfiinch. Gold
finch was a sturdily- built chestnut The
latter horse was brought to the Haggir
establishment, and begot Old England
who performed last summer. So far this
is Goldfinch's best offspring, and he is a
tall bay, resembling greatly Orme and Or

Successful Negroes.

\, 1t Is we'll to remember in the discussion
of all social or political problems the
promising aspects Of the question and not
concentrate attention entirely on the baf-
fling and discouraging phases Some of
these brighter sides Of the negro prob
lem were brought out at the recent con-
vention Of the national Negro Business
League, in Nashville
A correspondent Of the New York Even
ing Post asserts that two facts were es-
tablished at that convention: One, that
any negro who proves himself At and
worthy Of confidence has a. better chance
of success to-day than any man Of his
race ever had before; and the other,
that the white man OF the south, perhaps
even more readily than the white man of
the north, is ready to extend every assist :
ance.
Some OF the stories Of success in bust
ness told at the convention go a long
way toward establishing the truth Of these
assertions. L. Winter. produce dealer
at Nashville, said that he came to that
city in 1856 with one suit Of clothes and
$42 as his worldly wealth. During the
past six months he shipped $50. 900 worth
Of produce. He attributes his success
largely to his former master, who taught
him the value Of honesty.

only thirty years old, but he is running a
general store that does business Of $685.
900 a year., Two bad crop years caused
the banks to fail and threatened to ruin
Banks but his white neighbors lent him
SO, 900 to help him get on his feet. Since
then he has prospered amazingly. Besides
his business he owns two plantations. II

| color, he says.
c. H. Wingfeld, a Mississippi farmer
who had done nothing to get on in the
world until he was thirty-flve years OF
age, told the convention that now at the
age Of forty-f1ve he owns 377 acres OF
land, seven town lots, home and a store

Mr.. Hills paper thinks that the prose-
cution Of trusts and mergers for violating
the law Is to blame for the great shrink
age in speculative stocks. And some Of
the heaviest financiers, whose Importance
is not measured by the amount Of inflated
stocks they hold, think the prosecution
was a good thing as a check to dangerous
imitation. Meantime the country persists
in being prosperous and with great crops
and busy people refuses to be ser tuslv

for consolidation and mergers and stock
imitation generally has suffered.
