Women's part in politics as we'll as in other walks of the worlds work is making mere man t'sit. up,'' says a writer in Golfers. On the heels of the announcement of the extension of women's suffrage by the chivalrous state of Arizona through the adoption of the bill by the legislature Ia measure in jeopardy of the governors vetol comes the surprising news that even phlegmatic Germany scents the battle from afar After the first indignation is past, women will appreciate the deli cate compliment paid them by mem bers of the reichstag, who citing the lesson of interference with interna- tional politics in the matter of the marriage of Baron won Sternburg and other foreign nobles and diplomats who have espoused American women, for mally object to such alliance because of their deleterious influence upon diplomatic procedure. MT Chamberlain in his multiplied speeches to admiring English audiences, attributes to the in- fiuence and company of his wife, an American woman, his success in ef
 fecting conciliatory measures and pro- noting harmony during his late South African trip. A persistent attempt was made to oust Clara Barton from the active headship of the American National Red Cross society, because of her advanced age. Many members of the society believe the work will be benefited By retiring Miss Barton to an honorary position, and securing Rear Admiral William Van Reypen for pres ident Admiral Van Reypen was for merly surgeon general of the navy.

MAKE HASTE SLOWLY.

The sensational twist given to affairs in Waterbury by the wholesale arrests is calculated to awaken resentment ln some quarters, but it is simply the logl- cal outcome of a succession of regret able happenings.
 The offering of rewards for the mur- derers of Policeman Mendelssohn has undoubtedly been the means of accom- plishing what the mere desire. on the part of the general public, to have the culprits brought to book, could not nave attained.
 That warrants have been sworn out for this or that man does not signlfy necessarily that he is guilty. A man is not guilty until he is proven so. Even his own declaration will not con- vict him. A man in Chicago recently declared he had committed murder, 1t could not be proved and he was re- leased. ~,...f~ s -~.zs
 The action recently takezA in Water bury should tend to clear the atmos- phere for all concerned. With just trials no innocent person can sutfer. The general public will feel that an effort has been made to detect the guilty parties; the strikers should not resent the effort to get at the facts or the case, as tAey. have contended from the first that they did not coun- tenance injury to person or property to attain their ends. ss.s q, eeesfo.sy s~,

WHEN SHERIDAN WENT FISHING

Contrary to expectation, considering what he had been through, he possess ed a voice as sweet and musical as that of a woman. On my mentioning this to him he smiled and said that was about the first remark made by parties presented to him, and added: Il SUD- pose they expected to find a man tall as a steeple, as heavy as an elephant and with a voice like a foghorn'' As evidence of this he said: When I was
 stationed in Chicago before taking command of the army itwas my custom
 annually to take hunting and fishing
 tour in Wisconsin. Several of my staff
 accompanied me. We took our camp
 equipage with us, locating at intervals
 along the banks of the river or creek
 wherever the fishing was good. One
 morning I awoke at daybreak and
 found it was ideal weather to cast a
 hook; there was heavy mist with an
 occasional raindrop. got up, slipped
 on my clothes, took my rod and bait
 and started to fish up the creek. The
 grass on the banks was heavy, fit for
 the scythe, and as I trudged along I found left quite a trail behind me. As I noticed this I said to myself If the owner of this field gets sight of
 me I will get Scotch blessing. :" Just as this thought occurred to me,
 as was turning a bend of the river
 whom should I meet face to face but
 man who, judging by his looks and actions, was the individual in ques- tion. I had on an old blouse, slouch hat and high boots, not making in consequence very presentable ap-
 pearance. I had in my pocket a nice flask of brandy, which had not sbeen tapped. He wore an old straw hat 1 with Tapping sides, had scythe on his shoulder and a deep scowI on his l face. As I approached him I said, l Good morning, uncle, it is kind of damp, wouldn't you like something to warm you?' at the same time unscrew- | ing the cork and handing him the bot | tie. He took it, looking me all over | from hat to boots, put it to his mouth and took swig He did not get the l flavor till he had taken it from his | lips. Holding the bottle in his hand, he looked at it wistfully. All right

NESTING HABITS OF BIRDS.

Why do all those birds which pair for life always return to their old nesting place This is one of those curiosities of natural history which no one has yet explained satisfactorily. Our wild birds are divided into three classes so far as matrimonial arrangements are concerned. Those which become part ners for life form much the smaller of these three classes, and there. are seve- ral of them whose constancy to their spouses is open to grave doubt. Then we have those birds which marry in the spring and remain constant to each other so long as their young are depen- dent upon them. When these young have gone off to get their own living their parents separate and do not mate again next year. They have had enough of each others society. and pre- fer the charm of novelty Three fourths of our wild birds belong to this class. who make promiscuous mar riages every spring. Then we have the Brigham Youngs of the bird world, as represented by the house sparrow, who keeps up various branch establishments in addition to the ancestral home This polygamous class is a small one, but it is more numerous than the casu- al observer would suppose.
 According to tradition. our wild birds pair on February 14-St valen- tines day. In my locality some of them did not wait for the opening day before beginning their domestic ar engagements. Starlings are always among the earlist to start house. keeping. and at least two pairs of my acquaintance had eggs in their nests during the first week this month. Hedge sparrows and wrens have been paired equally early and many f1irta- tions among house sparrows began with the first week of February. As yet we have had none of those big so- cial gatherings of the sparrows, when they fill tree, and amorous, suitors chase their selected mates and rivals fight for the possession of the chosen fair ones.

snuR and Good Rumor.

Interesting notes on the snuff talk ing habit are furnished by the German authorities of the district known as Ahe Bavarian forest. The men there consume on an average of half a pound of snuff per day, the tobacco being mixed with ground glass ito sting better" The people in this district are much given to violence and att tacks with the knife are of daily oc- currence. For years the prison au- thorities experenced great difficult ties with their charges on account of their uniform obstinacy and finally hit upon the plan of depriving them of snuff. They say that after awhile a great change for the better was no- ticeable, the men becoming tractable and sensible of their degrading inhu- manity.-Knowledge.

Sums Antics at Sunset.

Curious deformations of the suns disk as it sets have recently been studied by Dr. Prinz, of the Royal Belgian observatory, by the aid of photography. The most common of these are simply indentations of the disk. Sometimes there is appearance as of flames issuing symmetrically from opposite sides and uniting above in single jet, which disap- pears to give place to another, formed in the same way. These phe- nomena, according to M. Prinz, are due to horizontal layers of air of diff ferent density, which refract the suns light. Some such appearance of the solar disk at sunrise may have originated the familiar legend that cn Easter morning the sun dances as he rises.-Success.

 A mad dog bit ten school children i'll West Twenty eighth street, New York, on Tuesday. After a while they will begin to muzzle their dogs in New. York. Unless they do so they will have to make the branches of the Pasteur institute at least as nu- merous as the police stations through out the city.
 If you put muzzles on dogs pronis- cuously the humane society will be heard from right away. And yet what is going to be done about it? Many of the dogs that need muzzling would be better off and the community would be in less danger, if bullet from a good sized revolver were used instead of a wire muzzle.

As all of you know, said President the society of American Foresters, the forest resources of olfr country are aI- ready seriously depleted. They can be renewed and maintained only by the cooperation of the forester with the practical man of business in all his types, but above all. with the lumber man. And the most striking and en- couraging fact in the forest situation is that lumbermen are realizing that practical numbering and practical for estry are allies, not enemies, and that the future of each depends upon the other. The resolutions passed at the last meeting of the representatives of the lumber interests which occurred here in Washington, were striking proof of this fact and a most encour- aging feature of the present situation So long as we could not make the men concerned in the great lumber industry realize that the foresters were endeav- bring to work in their interest, and not against them, the headway that could be made was but small. We shall be able to work effectively and bring about important results of a permanent character largely in proportion as we are able to convince those men. the men at the head of that great business, of the practical wisdom of what the foresters of the United States are seek ing to accomplish.

Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy for these diseases we have yet to learn of single case having resulted in pneumonia, which shows conclusively that it is certain pre- ventive of that dangerous disease.

On Mississippi River During World

An old-fashioned steamboat race, a common occurrence in the properous days of the Mississippi river, with the fire belching out of the smokestacks and the boats going forward at a ter rife rate of speed, is suggestion which comes from across the Atlantic as an attraction for the worlds fair, St Louis. George F. Parker, the worlds fair resident representative in London, writes that Sir Thomas Lip- ton has made the above suggestion as a drawing card for the fair The plan no doubt grew out of the yacht-racing connections of Sir Thomas. The sug- gestion is, of course, very favorably regarded as one that would attract large crowds to the rivers banks to witness such a stirring contest.

TEDDY'S PIPE DREAM.

Tn the Republican of March 25 a long letter appeared on the arrogance of British trade unions, signed E. w. Biggerstaff.
 Teddy will pardon me for reminding him that it is much easier and safer to crow from Mill street and blow the horn for corporation for whom you are employed than for an outsider like myself to take up cudgels to dispute your statements as to the deplorable arrogance of trades unionists of Great Britain. may also remind him that 1t is an old bogey which has been crowed from the same quarter on sev- eral occasions You surely must have been under the influence of Hop Ling Wang's pipe when you wrote that truly narrowing piece of fiction about the trades unionists. who were banded to- gether for the betterment of their con- d1tion Qisten, oh, ye gods) no more be- roic men ever walked on to a battle field, and that he had seen these poor fellows, day in, day out, year in, year out, walking from one end of England to the other end barefooted, with the blood oozing between their toes. all this fighting for principle. Do you think they had cause or do you think they did it for fun? He then goes on to state that through the district of West Brom-
 wich, Dudley and other small towns
 in Staffordshire there now stands the

 The immutab1e evidence that now

 supply him with ample evidence of
 the growth of the manufacturing cen
