George P. Lounsbury. ex-Governor of Connecticut, who died yesterday, was good man. and he surprised many of the knowing ones when he went into public life by showing them that he was a good politician, much better than they at first gave him. credit for being. And his work in politics was character ized by candor, honesty and strict re- gard for his promises, qualities which are not always supposed to be useful in politics. But in his case they were. He won his political honors fairly, and car ried them modestly. He did his duty well in public affairs. and few gover- nors of Connecticut have had more com mendation and less criticism, He was an excellent speaker and writer, a shrewd and kindly judge of human na- tGre, friendly. and fond of doing good deeds quietly. Connecticut loses in him thoroughly good citizen, and fine exponent of much that is best among her people. -...

Many who have waited awhile, or longer, in the Union depot in Kansas City will appreciate the feelings and the action of Mrs. Hattie M. Tanner, who has just brought suit for divorce Iagainst her husband, the main ground alleged being that he left her in the Union depot, at Kansas City, saying Tt takes money to stop at hotels, while the seats in the depot are free..' Mrs. Tan ner ought to have her divorce, and 1t is rather painful to notice that the es- teemed Kansas City Journal, which knows all about that depot, is inclined to try to smooth down Sister Tanner. It says: Fate and the trains brought them to the Union station. Directly after en- tering the mournful structure he did what many who have gone before him have done. He stepped hastily across the avenue to vent his wrath and inn bibe some comfort and cheer. Perhaps he may have tarried longer than he should, but he could not with propriety take his wife with him. So he left her in the depot. He didn't build the depot.
 He undoubtedly would tear the rotten edifice down and put up a better one if he was the railroads. He is not there- fore responsible for the discomfort
 which his wife was put to. The divorce suit should be dismissed. These quar- reling spouses should settle their diffi-
 culties out of court, and then unite upon
 a suit for damages against the Union Depot company.
 | It will be Interesting to see what view the court takes of the matter.

 If this is true Of some government clerks, the condition is certainly over balanced by the young women who spend their working days at the bureau .of printing and engraving. The hours are from eight to four. but that is quite long enough, considering the nature of the work done there. During those hours the clerks sit at machines putting out heat and fumes of impurity. On the floor where the money Is printed leach machine is operated by both men land women. The women hand out the sheets and take them again after they have been through the printing process. They do not have actually to touch the machines, but they cannot keep out of la contact with the printers ink and grease that Is all around them, and they are all day long in an atmosphere of heat intensified by the row of gas stoves between the mahines. The girls who work al the machines in other parts of the building can vary the mo- notony of their work by first sitting down to it and then standing up. And where there are two girls at one ma chine they can alternate at each others posts, and in this way distribute their aches and pains to both sides of their bodies. But man-made machines, though automatically run, are grinding affairs and demand constant attention. Washington Post.

 Now, if you do go over to the big brick building, which doesn't make a

 bureau of engraving and printing" Why? Nobody knows. Of course. some people who don't know go over on some of the other days of the week and have a good time and learn a lot more than they who go on Saturday. And how the people do visit there! Three thousand week, said guide. That's five hundred g. day. And that's one a minute for every working hour of the day. Pretty constant stream of callers, that. Not so many years ago three de- crepit old men were the guides. Now the seven are women. which is signifi- cant, and one that typifies the work done in the bureau, for here, of the three thousand employees, more than half are of the feminine persuasion.
 These young and good looking guides will explain how American money Is printed on the back, then put in cold
 storage, where it goes through dry ing process; then sorted and the imper- feet sheets thrown out; then printed on the face, and then perforated and put
 up in packages to be sent to the treas ury for the government seal. -,-..
 They generally tell how useless it
 would be for any one to try to rob the wagon containing this money. In the first place, because six guards always accompany it; and, in the second place. because the money at this stage of it's manufactura wouldn't be any good, anyway. Tt is seven days after bill 1 is printed on it's back before it is print ed on the face,, said this visitors guide. "It takes thirty days to make a silver dollar tllEand forty to make a gold one. The gold one is printed three times, twice on one side, because 1t has to have the word gold and a little splotch of gold on this side before the face cah be printed" Then she led the l visitor to the framed dollar bills fast ened to one side of the walls in the haIi, and showed these bills, calling special lattention to the gold certificate, and then led the way back to the front door and said adieu. It was all over in ten minutes. But there Is one section of
 the bureau of engraving and printing
 that the guides do not take you through unless you have a special per init. This Is where they make the pos tage stamps--the common, ordinary postage stamps that you give only two cents for and stick on your letters with a contemptuous lick. But it is the
 most interesting part of the bureau.
 Just think, 1t takes two days to pro-

DOING QUITE WE'LL.

England is getting along much better in Africa than Germany is. It has been officially announced that all the great
 powers of Europe have assented to the
 clauses of the Anglo-French agreement
 which gives England undisputed pre- dominance in Egypt and relieves her from awkward questions as to the
 probable time of her evacuation of that country. The treaty rights and present privileges of the powers in the Nile country are to be respected, but Lord Cromer'ss control is confirmed and en- larged. The funds raised by taxation for the security of the public debt are to be freed from vexatious restrictions,
 with the result that larger amounts can be applied yearly to the relief of taxa tion and to useful public improvements, Hike the Assuan dam, which adds large ! ly to the irrigated and productive area.
 The Egyptians will thus profit by no longer having in effect many masters to interfere with and muddle their af-
 fairs. For thirty years the powers are tassured of the ':most-favored nation" treatment of their commerce with
 Egypt. The tariff situation will remain
 unchanged, the chief benefit England
 gets commercially being in the fact that
 she is in a position to prevent a high
 tariff wall being raised against her
 goods. She is also better safeguarded
 against unfriendly management of the

Minister Kogors Takahira, Japan's representative in Washington, is a sol- idly built little man, with an express sioniess face, aggressively pompadour hair and square, heavy jaw. He first came to this country In 1879 as secreta- " of the legation and subsequently held numerous important posts at home and in Europe. He speaks and under stands English perfectly-when he wish es to do so. Should an embarrassing question be asked, however. he falls back on broken English. The man is the personification of business. He rises with the sun and works without haste, without heat, but in that steady, relentless fashion and along lines of such careful organization that he turns out more of the finished product than the average two of his staff.

REMEMBER WomAN's GLANCE
A0 Hay Forget the Color of Her Halr But the Power of Her Eye
 Is Potent.

A woman's eyes are the first objects to attract 8 mans attention, and they are the last things he remembers about her. Long after he has forgotten the color of her hair. tho dimpls In her chin and the soft. sweet sound of her voice, the look in her eye remains with him, says an authority on the sub ject.
 He may not be able to single her glove out of a pile of keepsakes: hc may have cast her photograph upside down into the waste basket with . lot of others; the slippers she made him may have been worn out by his valet, but still some particular tsrn of her glance, some little tric' coping her iashes pr liftir ywn cyes will be as clear q daylight away in hi 4e sa< lined caskst that glance VIII rise wsike BanQuO's ghost at the feast and startlc him just at the moment when the man is look ing most intently into the eyes of an other woman.
 It is not the color of a woman's eyes which man first observes or last re- members. Nine times out of ten . man will turn from the glance of . pair of soft brown, cowlike eyes to gaze into the green orbs of the red headed girl on the other side of tho table, and many doll-like, blue-eyed beauty weeps because some pug-nosed tawny-eyed woman has lured away her sweetheart.
 Ask any man the color of his sisters eyes and he will look at you blankly love" he will remark, "I--I believe I've forgotten. But they're all right There's something about them that's catchy" And that is positively all that can be gotten out of him.
 The fact that Becky Sharpe's eyea were green or that Cleopatra's eyes were yellow never interfered with the machinatons of those fascinating la dies, nor dulIed their regulations as cOquettes. Color, size and shape may make an eye beautiful, but they never can give it that something which SC many beautiful eyes lack and so many homely ones possess, the power tc make man break a bank or sell his overcoat in order to give his wife what she wants.
 When the world was sentimental men called 1t soul" Then they grew practical and apathetic and they called 1t character, But no man will ever know what it is any more than he viii ever know why he married the particu. lar woman he picked out or why tht cook has left. It is a question as subtle and elusive as either of these.
