SISTER HosTEssEs.

1t cannot be denied that sisters make
charming hostesses, wherever one finds
keeping house together and Hospitality
inclined, For one thing, 1t Is gain to
have two hostesses instead Of one, and
sisters are accustomed to one another
and can understand each other without
a word, and instinctively feel what is
going on; they can talk together Of
quite different things and yet keep tune.

NURSE AND HOUSEHOLD,

What is the alse of the friction?
Simply this: that what to the employer
is an abnormal and unexpected afilic-
ton is to the nurse but a detail, scene
in her daily life and work. Illness or
accident invades an orderly household;
routine is broken through; everything
is at skies and sevens." The devoted
wife or mother, the loving daughter,
the attached servant-and such are still
in existence-all are willing and eager
to sacrifice sleep, and rest, meals and
comfort, in caring for the one whose life
hangs in the balance. The nurse, nine
times out of ten, is no less willing; but
her self-sarrifice should not be accepted
ought not be accepted-ought not, in
deed, to be offered by her-simply be-
cause her case is not that of the willing
but unofficial helpers. When the crisis
is over, and death or recovery has ended
the strain. she does not return once

NJ. Dubief has just submitted the
budget for the colonies to the French
Chamber In it he enumerates the i'm
portant colonial acquisitions Of the re-
public from the occupation Of Tunis to
the present day. These include Tong
king, Madagascar. and the extension of
French power in Africa and Indo-
China. The French possessions now
cover an area of 100000 square kilo-
metres, eighteen times as extensive as
the mother country, with a native popu-
lation of more than 30,00O,0OO. Some
statistics furnished by NJ. Dubief show
that the total expenditure of the
mother country on fourteen colonies
and groups of colonies is, in round
numbers, S6,OO0,0OO francs. The impor-
tation of French goods by those colo
MES amounts to 249.OO0,0 900 francs. Thus
the expenditure upon the colonies is
equal to about 81 1-2 per cent. Of the
amount of their purchases Of French
products. Among the more important
colonies this high proportion of the ex-
penditure in comparison to the i'm
ports rises to about 50 per cent. in the
case of the French Congo, II per cent.
in that of Madagascar and Guiana, 81
per cent. in New Caledonia, 80 per cent.
in French West Africa, and 20 per cent.
in Indo- China. Following the prece-
dent established since 1901, the Budget
committee again reduced the subven-
tons granted to different colonies. Indo-
China and French West Africa are rep
resented as being in a f1ourishing finan-
cial condition, while the situation of
Madagascar is admitted to be less sat
isfactory.
We too have colonies, and they cost
much more than the French colonies
do.

NOME 20 ETC JUSTICE.

The Rev. P. F. Jernegan, whom many
people in Connecticut remember, had a
fine scheme for extracting gold from
sea-water. It worked so as to extract
much gold from the pockets of those
who believed in it. and then Brother
Jernegan had to reorganize. or some

To press his lips upon her hand.
She said: Farewell! IT'S better so;

FOREGOING DREAMSt

| At Fez. the capital Of Morocco, two
| legends are current, as related by an
Eastern contemporary. One is that
in a time of peril a prophet will come
out Of the Orient bearing a sword
which he will deliver at the mosque
at Fee. and that with that sword it
will be possible to conquer the world.
The other is that Christian horses
will be stabbed III the university
! building.
The prophet Of the first legend is
supposed already to have appeared,
having been the JUggler Blu Hamara,
or "donkey-father," who melted tire
dangerous rebellion against the Sultan
and nearly reached Fee. He was final
ly beaten. The sword which should
make Morocco victor over many
worlds failed to materialize. People
have lost faith in the first legend.
The second would appear to have
a better chance of fulfillment. 1t will
be great day for civilization when

The city council will make a ser
ious and probably fatal mistake if in
preparing plans and specifications for
a gravity water system it limits the
voters 10 the selection of one of En-
gineer Weile's Mill creek plans. The
result in all probability would be that
all three propositions would be re

Company. If the people decide that

sentiment does not favor the Mill
creek propositions and this facI
should be duly considered by the

NOT IN FAVOR AT WHITE HOUSE

AS if it were not enough for Presi-
dent Roosevelt to reject the recon-
mendations for land office appoint
mtnts in this state made by Senators
Ankeny and Foster, the president is
allowing Secretary Hitchcock to make
trouble for land Office incumbents
who are supporters Of the two Wash
ingtOn stnators. No man in the state
has been more loyal to Ankeny and
Foster than Register Scobey of the
Olympia land office since his desertion
of John L. Wilson in 1895. Now
Hitchcock is making himself still
more obnoxious by taking Scobey TO
task for alleged neglect of his official
duties. AS Hitchcock seems to have
his own way with President RoOse-
welt, he may yet get ScObey's scalp
and name some one for the place
without consulting our two senators.
If this sort of thing keeps up much
longer Ankeny and Foster will not
have an adherent left in any land Of
nee IN THIS state. SuCH treatment IS
not likely to make the two senators
very enthusiastic for RoosevelJ's nom

good rtason to complain of unjust dis
elimination against them by the ad-
ministration. Boss Platt. Boss Quay

rules and principles. It is plain,
therefore, that the turning down of
recommendations for appointments
made by Senators Ankeny and Foster
is not due TO a conscientious desire
to purify the public service, but it is a
sure indication that the two Washing
ton senators are not in favor with the
Roosevelt administration.
