CURRENT COMMENT
The Future Historian and His Fatigue

At last, in the year 1903. as for some reason now unknown. time was then reckonad." wrote the Future Historian, ''the Cup was won by Sir Thomas the Litter with the Shamyacht III. He had made twelve previous attempts, but had been foiled every time by some trick of construction or sailing. It was during these contests that the term Van Kee trick came into use, and We still have it. Yan kee was the name of the Chinese mariner who always sailed the American boat. our knowl- edge Of which fact We owe to that dis tinguished philolCgist. Dr. Joch Ooble- bubber, who with Um Licomemsel, the archaelogist. discovered the ruins of Minnesota.
 sir Thomas escaped the vengeance of the mob, but was drowned with all his crew on the voyage back to Eng land and the celebrated Cup was for ever lost. His last words were Don't give up the ship!'-one of the most memorial ble sayings of antiquity.
 Ten years later another cup was presented by the Irish Parliament. and
 the contests were renewed. continuing with varying fortunes for q quarter of a century, when they were forbidden | by both governments under pressure of | the Allied Powers.
 Tn reviewing the history of this eX- i traordnary craze one cannot fail to be l struck by it's incredible unreason. in | which it was unmatched even in those 1 harbarous times. Compared with it the famous conflict between Science and religion seems almost an intelligent contention. manly sport.

either the men who built the boats or
 those who sailed them. for the boats
 were so absurdly unlike anything else
 afioat that both construction and hand
 ling were particular arts, without util- | ity in the shipyard or on the sea. In | fact, the vessels never were used for | any purpose but racing, anu in only | the one race for which they were made did anybody take the faintest interest. 1 The sole superiority of one over another consisted in deeper draught-a leng th- ening downward and weighing of the | fin keel SC as to make it possible to carry more sail without upsetting. The | knowing one talked and wrote very l learnetily of a thousand other features of construction. but that was all moon shine: the yacht that could safely carry the greatest spread of sail always beat the other. With this controlling aG- vantage any model was good enough. True, il took these primitive reasoncrs many years to learn so simple q. truth. Philosophers twho did not take the trouble to point it ouD knew it as early
 as 1903, but the persons most interested did not perceive it until fifteen years ! later. when a remodeled old mudscow with a fin keel fifty feet deep. met the cup winner O1 that year oil the lriSn coast and beat her out of sight.
 After this revelation there could be but one end of it all-vkeels grew deeper
 and deeper and more. and more heavily weighted, masts taller. booms longer
 and sails bigger. Accidents and wrecks from trying to achieve both lightness and strength Were even more frequent
 than they had been at the beginning Of
 the century. and in the final race (be- fore the interdiction) both yachts grounded in the middle of the Atlantic and were beaten to pieces in q half hour, whereby both the King of New York and the Panjandrum of Great Britain and the Isle of Man, who were guests on board had the bad luck to los tHeir lives.
 Tt is doubtful, concluded the Future Historian. smiling as the toes holding his pen flew rapidly across his sheet or prepared sky, If the annals of folly contain anything so distressing to hu
 man pride as this yacht-racing episode in the history of the ancient inhabitants
 of Great Britain and her transatlantic dependency. In the words of our great
 est and most original hufnorist. it ma kes me tired. Ambrose Bierce in san Francisco Examiner

rlexico's New Patent Law.

Mexico has just given another proof of her right to be classed with the most progressive nations. A new law gov erEing patents was promulgated q few days ago and will go into effect Octo- Der l. II greatly simplifies the. manner of obtaining patents and mere fully protects inventors. The following are some of the salient provisions of the new law:
 Patents are granted for twenty years divided into two periods. the first being one year and the second nineteen years. The government fee for for the one-year patent is five pesos; for the remaining nineteen years. thirty-five pesos.
 These taxes are payable in revenue stamps.
 There is no working requirement.. but there will be q system of compulsory licenses.
 Patents will be issued with the least poss- Jle delay and their date will be the date of the legal presentation of the application
 A simple power of attorney will en- able one person to act for another in the securing of q patent. In conse- quence powers from abroad for patent purposes need not be protocolized.
 The penal sanction of patents is very strong Fer example, article 4S of the -i..I ture of patented objects and the em- ployment. for q commercial or indus trial purpose. Of patented methods. without the consent of the owner of the from five hundred to two thousand pesos and with one to three years im- prisonmert. or with either penalty at the discretion of the judge.
 Either penalty is sufficiently severe and this strong protection to paten- tees will no doubt stimulate the ob- taining of patents in Mexico.
 Patents for designs and models may also be obtained for five or ten years. the government fee in the former case being five pesos and in the latter ten pesos.
 The law contains provisions where by both existing patents and pending applications may be made conform able to it.
 The patent office will publish an off cial gazette of patents and trademarks in which patents and trademarks and all concerning them will be described.

The Duke Wins.

Miss May Goelet has said yes" to the Duke of R0Xburghe. The wedding
 which will take place presently, is hard ly to be considered a matter of in ternational importance in itself. but it is of passing interest to us of the
 United States because 1t settles the
 question of Mays immediate future.
 She is to marry an Englishman and
 thereby promote the entente. She
 might have wed a Russian, q French
 man, Turk or Prussian, according to
 the voracious chronicler Of the doings
 of those who are set over as by req son of the super-excellence of their lineage and the extent Of their posses sions.
 Miss Goelet, whose mamma knows
 the social game as well as she does
 bridge and who has many millions in the form of New York city property, has been campaigned for but . few sea
 sons. She is lovely enough to be loved for herself and it is not therefore fair to inquire into the motives of those young men of Europe of high and dirty lineage who have sought her hand. But it must be admitted that Cupid was
 doing some cratic and miscellaneous shooting when he tried to place Miss Goelet.
 First there was stricken q party yclept Hohenlohe. the Prussian royal house. first name Hugo, who was so hard hit that he offered to meet the American girl on the basis of dollars and wanted to pay ten thousand dol lars for the mere consideration of his proposal. That is as far as he got and his wound still rankles. Prince Henry Haren, Of Bohemia. fell in love with the lovely American and was forth with directed by this family to betake him to the nursery. Henry being of tender years. The Duke of Manchester laid his heart and his battered castle at the feet of Miss Goelet and the castle almost crumbled when she spurned it
 and him. The Duke of Boris. of Rus sia, got into the game for q minute and
 q French marquis with debts as great as Castellane got just an even run for | what he had-he did not even start. | Any one of these gallants might have
 been favored of Miss Goelet and the
 result must have been q disturbance ! of the financial conditions and an in l ternational amity-for it is not to be doubted that our marriage connections l in England would have protested had | the wedding been arranged in any other case than that of the Duke of RoX- ] burghe.

 in the way of q ducal husband. His | strawberry leaves are comparatively i fresh. His ancestral halls are in q state

vantage of a union without entagling alliances. The brides dot will be suff cient for the rehabilitation Of the RoX burghe fortunes. Joe Choate will have the entree to another ducal house where he can order breakfast in his room if he is so disposed.
 Altogether we have much to gain from this union of the dollar and the duke and nothing tC lose but one hand some young woman-and wn have them to burn. and no disLosition to burn them except for the honor and glory Of republican institutions-St. Paul Globe.

crevices and holes in which the Octo-
pus loves. to hide. When the stick
touches one of the ugly things it in
variably takes hold so tightly with
its tentacles that it can be drawn
forth. The moment the fisherman
has thus hauled it out, he let's him
self ascend. He goes up so fast that
he reaches the surface before the an
cry and stubborn devilfish has made
up its mind to let go its hold on the
stick. When he reaches the surface
the Hawaiian grabs the octopus and
instantly bites deep into its head,
thus killing the brute at once.
Another rather daring form of fish
ing is that for the ula, species OF
lobster. When the fisherman is ready
TO go down for this creature he
wraps his right hand in long piece
Of cloth. Then he dives and feels
around with his bandaged hand until
he finds the ula. Frequently he
will work so fast that he will brinA
up two or three ulas from one dive.
Now and then the fisherman finds
n publ in hole instead of a ula.
Then the bandage does not save him
from being badly bitten, for the publ
is a great sea eel of immense
strength and with jaws set with Inn
mensely sharp teeth.

FISHING WITH THE HANDS.
A Common Sight in the Waters ABOUT
the Homes of the
HawatianE.

1t is hard to believe that human
beings can become expert enough at
swimming and diving TO be able to
catch fish in their water home; yet
It is so.
The native Hawaiians are the ones
who do it, and it Is a common sight
in the districts that are not densely
populated to see men, women and
children engaged in thus catching
fish, shrimp and crabs
Sometimes they crouch in shallow
water and feel around the coral and
lava bottom for the creatures. So
skillful have they become by practice
that even the swiftest fish rarely es-
cape. They can seize crab and jerk
him out of his rocky lair before he
can use his claws.
The Bawaiians are assisted in this
mode of fishing by the fact that
many species of Pacific ocean fish
hide themselves in clefts in the rocks
and lie there when danger threatens.
This habit Is utilized by the men
and boys to catch those fish which
live in deep water. They tie bag
around their waists and dive straight
down to the bottom. There they hold
fast to rock with one hand, to keep
themselves on bottom, and with the
other they feel or grope in the ere
vices or under the overhanging rock
lodges till they get their hands
around fish. Then they put him into
the bag and grope for another one
until they have to ascend for air.
A daring kind of fishing is that fol
the octopus. The Hawaiian dives tC

BUDS AND FLOWERS OF

the Children Well and Strong.
Mothers Make Is the Home Medicine
For the Little Ones.

The children, God bless them, are the buds
and flowers of our homes. Without their
prattle and hearty laughter, our homes would
lie desolatc They should ever be carefully
tended in childhood and youth, if we expect
them to ripcn into perfect men and women.
In the home and at school, the children
have their times of i'll health and suffering.
We often note the pallid and bloodless cheeks,
heavy eyes, nervous movements, and witch
ings of limbs and muscles. They complain Of
headache, drowsiness, WEAKNESS, dyspepsia,
and indigestion. All such symptoms and all
ments mean that the seeds of disease will have
a fast and finn hold, unless proper measures
are taken to restore perfect condition OF
health.
Thousands Of wise and prudent parents have
made their children happy, healthy, and vigor-
Gus by giving them natures medicine, Paine's
Celery Compound. In many severe and com
pcaled cases, Paine's Celery Compound has
restored health when the little ones were given
up by physicians.

and rugged as they should be, try the health

The blouse proper, or lined blouse,
has become a thing of the past. We
have turned our thoughts to the prac-
teal slip bodice, worn over a tight-ht-
ting but scarcely boned underbodice Of
silk, hannelette or satin. Bones, in
deed, are almost eliminated; the new
style of bodice is supple and the mate
rial is softly swathed round the figure.
The only stiff bodice is the court or
Louis Seize bodice and cuirass.
Bordered materials and those with
fancy selvages will be used this sea-
son both for bodices and skirts. Most
Of the very smart blouses have
shoulder piece or jockey Of lace at the
top of the sleeve, to give the sloping
shoulder effect The elbow sleeves
have the butterfly or half-handkerchief
points as frill. In every case the frill-
ing to elbow sleeves is very elaborate.
If the sleeve Is long the deep full puff
begins above the elbow and ends above
the mitten cuff. This mitten cuff is
quite feature of this seasons sleeve
and gives a more artistic outline than
If the fullness came nearer to the
wrist.
For foulard, grenadine and the love
ly new satin spotted alpacas, the killed
or box-plaited skirt may be adopted
with or without yoke. This skirt, if
made in thicker fabric will have a
double box-plaited back carefully
sewed fiat to halfway down the skirt,
and a few plaits forming the narrow
front breadth. The three-decker or
triple-founced skirt will have new
lease of life In an improved form, each
of the fiounces being edged with fringe,
"flet" lace insertion, or one of the new
eastern galloons. For slender figures
gauging and tucking will be used, and
the housemaid skirt will be popular for
girls. Novelties in materials there are
In abundance; fresh dainty taffetas
with light grounds, and hair stripes or
checked patterns dotted with vivid
spots of silk or tiny fowerets. Inter
laced rings, oval spots and quite va
riety of small designs are seen on fancy
grounds; they resemble embroidery
which is to be one of the fancies of the
season.

A FILIPINO FABLE.
About n Monkey and n Land-Turtle'
and Strongly Resembles Tales
of Our own.

The Filipino people have their fables
and fairy tales and no doubt they fas-
9inate the children just as much as
"Pussin-boots" and Cinderella have
fascinated you. 1t would be hard to
find a country anywhere on the globe,
whose people have any sort Of civili-
cation, that has not its own folklore
stories handed down from generation
to generation. Here is a fable told in
the Philippines, which strongly resem-
bles some of our own, as you will prob
ably notice.
"a monkey and a land-turtle were
going along together, when the mon
key proposed that they should go into
a garden which lay in their way. The
land-turtle agreed, and they entered
the garden where the monkey found
ginger, which he tasted. Immediate
ly he began to cry out that the gin
ger burned his mouth.
"'Do not make that noise said the
land-turtle The owner Of the gar
den will hear your cries and will come
and catch us But the monkey con-
tinued to cry out that his mouth was
burning. 'Where!' said the land-tur-
tie, what did ] tell you? The owner
of the garden is coming and we must
make haste and run away So the
land-turtle took the monkeys tail be-
tween his jaws and the monkey began
TO drag him out of the garden. i am
dragging you, land-turtle,' said the
monkey. NO said the land-turtle, I
am pushing you This made the mon
KEY angry. but when they were out
of the garden this was forgotten, be-
cause each of them found something
to plant. What the monkey planted
did not grow, but the land-turtle's
plant grew quickly and became a
banana tree. Give me some Of your
bananas. said the money to the land
turtle. NO replied the land-turtle,
I cannot give you bananas Then
said the monkey. 4 will throw you into
the fire. 4 don't care if you do said
the land-turtle. That will be very pref
tv.forI shall become red 4 will throw
YOU into the rice-trough,' said themon-
key. 'and there you will be hammered
very hard 4 don't care if you do
said the land-turtle; 'hammering will
make me large and strong. Then I
will throw you into the water said the
monkey. NO, do not do that said the
land-turtle. L don't like to be thrown
into the water Then the monkey
caught up the land-turtle and threw
him into the water. 'Good-by' said
the land-turtle, this is where I live.

Number of the Pretty FancteH in
Costumes for the Summer
Season.

Perhaps the prettiest shirt or slip
blouse sleeve is that which, ending
above the elbow, surges out into a
large puff" and is caught in the deep
"mitten" gauntlet cuff. For very smart
slips we have the elbow sleeves with
long, half-handkerchief ruflles.
The nuns yelling slips are trimmed
with galloon, velvet ribbon or lace, but
the newest and prettiest of all are of
spotted wolfe, with colored floral bor-
der of their own. Wolfe is a great i'm.
provement on flannel, which, by reason
of its fluffy surface, soils so quickly.
An extremely pretty turquOise-blue
toque recently seen had its aigrette
clasped by an old-fashioned boss" Of
turquoise pave work, which would
have looked too heavy as a brooch, but
looked awfully well on the toque. The
blue had a strong greenish tinge to
harmonic with the hue of the stones,
reports the Chicago Daily News.
Perishable, if pretty, tea and coffee
coats can be made out of printed chif-
fons, worn over plain, self-colored
silk blouse or slip, though they are best
in white. More se~viceable are those
in net, printed with flowers in the same
way as the chiffon, and almost equally
pretty. This net is delightful notion.
At well-known milliner's was seen
a very pretty hat which had borrowed
something of the Sapho shape, being
broader than it was long and dipping
dom over either ear, while broad
strings tied under the chin. 1t was
wreathed with flowers and the wide
brim was softened at the edge with
thick ruchings.
Skirts and slips are made separately
so that one silk slip may do duty for
nalf dozen skirts, just as colored SILK
underbodices will transform the smart
slip. This fashion is most practical il
1t is well carried out and when visiting
or travelling quite bewildering num-
Der of dresses and blouses may be
packed into a moderate-sized trunk.
