Some of the republican leaders on the floor Of the house are repeatedly saying on their feet that there never were more prosperous times in this country than at present. and that the working man can get all the work he wants at remunerat tive wages This is not true, says a Washington writer. The working man not only is getting his wages cut by all the big trusts and corporations in the country, but the government itself is cutting wages. The Boston Transcript, a good repub- lican paper. of December 31 last, has an item to the effect that the men em- ployed in the Charleston navy yard will have their wages cut from $2 per day to $1.S4 per day, and that there was sore distress over the matter and much indignation. The beginning of hard times is not only visible among the la boring men of the country, but among the better paid classes of people. That is evidenced by the falling off In the attendance at the theaters all over tho country. and by the number Of actors who are stranded and hunting for work, there being fully 200 companies disbanded in the last thirty days, and over 2,000 actors out of employment.

. temptation to be dishonest, and de- termined to give theyoung nanan object lesson on the value of honesty.
 Keep it, he said to the Filipino. II will make present of it to you. Keep if for your honesty
 And so great lesson had been taught. and the major was pleased, and the serv- ant was pleased, the former because good seed had been sown in Cebu, and the lat- ter because he had become Croesus among his fellows.
 Not long thereafter the majors wife, while purchasing some fruit in the mar ket. dropped a srnEll coin in the dust, and being unable to find it after brief search, returned to her home. leaving Precio de Corazon Perez Altura to fol- low with the fruit she had bought The youth fingered at the place where tho money had been lost and searched for it in the dust until he found it. and then hastened home with the fruit. but mis- construing the object lesson he had re- ceived from the major, kept the coin and remained silent.
 When the madam came again to the market the dealer hastened to inform her that her servant had found the coin she had lost.
 And so the object lesson of honesty taught by her husband seemed lost as well as the coin. The tares had early made their appearance among the wheat
 The major was wrothy when he was informed that his trusted servant had proved unfaishful. and hastily calling the young man into his presence upbraided him for his dishonesty. The servant listened to the vigorous words of the major in amazement, and with much evil dent distress.
 You found the money roared the major, 'and you kept it."
 ..si Senor.'' replied the servant. meekly.
 You knew to whom it belonged and yet you did not return 1t.
 No Senor," replied the man. Tt was just like the other time, you know. It was just like the other time" he repeated earnestly, "and ] kept if for my hon. esty.

FOR HIS HONESTY
How a Filipino of Cebu Proved His
 Trustworthiness.
Rnt Mai. smith's Lesson Was Lost oD sAe DusxxY Amerfcmn CitiEen and Now He Trusts Them
 Not at All.

Our army officers serving in the Philip pines have often found themselves charged with the performance of duties entirely outside of thetr ordinary pro- fessional work. They have been called upon from time to time to guide the po- litical machinery of towns and cities and provinces, to give new direction to social customs. and to mould anew the every day affairs of the communities In which they served.
 As rule the people of the Philippines. In common with most oriental peoples, have vague conception of the require rnents of the Golden Rule, or the Ninth Commandment. In attempting to teach the great principles embraced in these creeds, our officers and men have usually found the ground on which the seed was sown, productive of good results, but fruitful also in producing new and un-. expected tares with the wheat.
 The experience of Maj. Smith while living in Cebu may afford fair iliustra- tion of the trend of half awakened con- ception of moral obligations among the people of that primitive Moham medan city, due to the missionary work or the major and his soldier companions.
 After making purchase one day at the counter of native dealer, the major was unable to find paper dollar he had taken with him to pay for the purchase. Leaving the article on the merchants counter he returned to his quarters and after detailing the circumstances of the loss to his servant, young Filipino. Precio de Corazon Perez Q Altura, by name. sent him with another dollar to pay for the article and bring it home. The servant speedy accomplished his errand and after returning hastened to place dollar bill in the majors hands, stating that he had found 1t on the floor beside the counter where the officer had stood when he made the purchases
 The major was delighted at the evil dAnce of honesty shown by the young Filipino. who had probably never pos sessed as his own so great a sum, or had ever before been subjected to so great

During the past week, owing to war rumors and other causes, says Banker Clews, cotton speculation continued upon feverish scale, the staple show ing sharp declines. Wheat, on tue other hand. advanced. as usual on war rumors. In other respects the stock market is unchanged. No loss in the recently improved financial undertone can be detected, and belief in easy money for the next few months ap- pears to be general. Thus, while no prolonged upward movement Is in sight, the outlook is for a good trading market, with sharp fluctuations on either side. Much will depend upon the situation in the far east, for in these days of close International inter dependence our security markets can not expect to entirely escape the shocks which war may bring upon the London or European markets. We may be safest from such disturbances, but we are not entirely immune, .v.--a1

MOON A LIFELEss WORLD.
Covered with yast nscunteins, Hat ' Withous Atmosphere or
 Vegetation.

Children and grown folks, too, like tt think of the disc tho moon presents t the earth as the smiling face of an ole man. A little study and little drawing upon the imagination easily turns th. full moon Into such a face, more or les' closely resembling tho pictures of ths moon as shown in children's books. T requires a more careful observation tt discern tho man in the moon, witt his bundle of sticks on his back, as he il seen by the children os Germany, who ars taught to regard him with fear and awe
 Before Galileos invention of the tele. scope it was not known what caused ths mottled appearance of the moons sur face. We now know that the surface Q. the moon is diversified with hills and valleys and mountains and plains, jus as the eartb is, and that 1t is the shadow: cast by the, elevated portions of the sur face that cause some parts to appeal darker than others.
 The lunar mountains are vastly higher in proportion than those Of the earth Though the moon is only about one fiftieth the size of the earth, it's noun tains are nearly as high, one at least. be. ing about four and a half miles high An. other peculiarity Of these mountains is that so many of them have the form O, volcanic craters, which no doubt they really are So far as can be seen all are extinct, however. Near the center of the level floor of these craters, often thou. sands of feet below the top of the rim. is curious peak resembling a little mountain within a mountain. Herodotus the largest of these ring mountains has a diameter of more than 23 miles, and it's crater is 40oo feet deep. Besides the giant Plato Herodotus is a mere pigmy. for the former is more than three times as far across and deep.
 Themoon is dead world. fossil amona the heavenly bodies There is apparent " no vegetation. no atmosphere no life of any kind. Could we stand on hersur. face everything would, in consequence appear strange and odd Even at midday the sky would be studded with stars but the sky itself would be black. There would he no dawn or twilight, for the sun would rise and set suddenly and sharply, it's two weeks intolerable glare giving way to another two weeks of in tense cold. Everything would be son. Der. colorless. silent: there would be only sharp outlines Of light and shade, soft ened by no gradations such as make the earth pleasant and beautiful.

While France is purifying herself

While France Is purifying herself ill the re.trial of the Dreyfus case, Ger many imprisons Lieutenant Bilse for criticising the army in his novel, ssIn a Little Garrison Town" although at the same time the government admits the truth Of his exposures by punishing the officers whom he attacks. says Col Hers Weekly. Lieutenant Bilse may have deserved his fate, but the incident is a reminder of happenings not long past which point the difference be tween country in which, in spite of military needs, public opinion is in uiti- mate control and one where, although the people are liberal and enlightened, the system of government is despotic. If we knew only of the military ethics of Germany, of fragrant murder. be- cause of failure to salute, of the en. peror's encoura cement of dueling and coarse barbaric honor. we might think poorly of the German peoples progress. Their accomplishments however. in. the realms of industry and intellect,
 would make such Judgment absurd,
 and the rapid. gain of the liberal party
 or so-called socialists, in, the face of firmly established absolutism, upheld by monarch of great ability, points 10 time, not far off, when the army will he no longer the sacred tool Of q
 sacred emperor, but servant of the
 state. with obligations, among it's indi- viduals, like those of other citizens.
 Public opinion became free in France by portentous revolution which taught the world lesson. What re-
 mains of German despotism will van ish. without doubt, by the peaceful pressure of the peoples will.

The fact that radium exerts very peculiar influence upon light-emittins bodies has given rise to the hope that it may eventually play an important role in the industry of light.
