The Sion of Fellowship.

1t is a little thing to speak a phrase
OF common comfort which by daily use
Has almost lost its sense;
Yet on the ear
twill fall
Like choicest music, fill the glazing eye
With gentle tears, relax the knotted
hand
To know the bonds of fellowship again.

ORIGIN OF TERM 1.-TWO BITS"

Often Heard In New York Where
Southerners aud Westerners Flock.
"Dld you ever hear the expression
two bits used as an equivalent for a
quarter of a dollar2" asked a New
Yorker. "The term Is commonly used
In the south and west, and one fire.
Quently hears 1t in New York Not one
person in a thousand even of those
who habltually use the term knows Its
origin.
"Even as late as the close of the
eighteenth century the silver coinage
OF the United States had not super
seeded the Spanish 'mllled' dollar in
the west and south. Fractional cur
rency was particularly scarce, and to
obtain this the Spanish 'milled' dol
lar was cut up to make change. Halves
and quarters, Of course, suggested their
own names, but when the quarter was
cut In two, the word eighth was dis
carded for bit, small slug having
the value of twelve and one.half cents
Many eurio collectors have these slngs
in their possession, although, Of course,
they have long since gone out of use
as currency.
$50 with 'thrlp, used in New Or
leans and the vicinity as an equlva-
lent for the nickel or flve-cent piece.
'Thrip' is merely an abbrevhtSn OF
threepence, the coin Of that value
once In general use, representing about
the same amount of money as a flve-
cent piece"

PIANOS IN GERMANY.
Enormous Product Of Fine Instru
meuta at Half the American Price,

Enormous Product Of Fine Instru'
menta at Half the American Price,
e. L. Harris, United States CONNER
cial agent at Eibenstock, Germany, has
lately transmitted to the State De-
partment In Washington, some inter-
esting information Oh the subject OF
the piano industry in Germany. Among
other things he says
"The manufacture Of pianos In Ger
many has reached state of perfection
attained by no other nation. Admitting
that In other countries particular firms
produce instruments which in every re-
spect are equal TO the best German
make, 1t is claimed that as an Indus
try, considering the number of facto-
rles and the high exports to nearly
I-every country in the world, the man
ufacturers of this empire are a long
distance In advance Of all their rivals
In spite of the enormous sale OF pianos
every year within the limits OF the
empire, the manufacturers are depend
ent upon the markets Of foreign coun-
tries for the sale OF fully one-half OF
the number produced. The success Of
the German piano Is due to the fact
that they are cheap, comparatively
speaking. Two hundred and fifty dol
lars will buy very fine piano in this
country. The construction Is always
apace with the latest art designs, spe-
cial attention being paid to the wood
work; they not only present an ele-
CANT appearance, but are solid and
durable"
With this introduction Mr., Harris
goes on to state that there are 435
plano factories in Germany, which
manufacture $4,000 instruments an
nually. or this number 40 are To-
Gated In Berlin, 27 In Stuttgart, II In
Dresden, 16 In Leipzig, 10 In Ham
burg, 10 in Leignltz, 8 in Zeltz, and
the remaining 1877 In Munich, Halle,
and Brunswick. In the past 20 years
the export Of pianos from Germany
has increased from $1,900,000 to &c.
10000 annually. Great Britain is at
present Germany's best customer, buy
ing 40 per cent of the total exports,
although prior to 1890 the Argentine
Republic, which now ranks second, was
the best market for German pianos.
Belgium ranks next after Great Brit
ain and Argentine and then comes
Australia. which takes $1,000,000
worth Of German pianos annually.
Russia 100000 worth and Holland
100000; Brazil, Norway, Sweden,
South Africa and Chile coming next In
order. Mr.. Harris also tells us that
Germany is large manufacturer Of
stringed instruments, the chief facto-
ries being located in the towns Of
Markneukirchen, Kllngenthal, Mitten-
wald, and Johanngeorgenstadt. The
first named town sold S6S4000 worth
Of violins, mandolins, etc, to the
United States last year.
"The manufactures of the different
parts of stringed Instruments he
states, SIS carried on chiefly in the
workers own home"

COW AND COWARD.
Why shouId the. Placid Bovine Inspire
Terror In the Feminine Breast.


Terror In the Feminine Breast.
"Coward-ona who is afraid of q
cow" shouted derisive small brother
across stone wall, moved. to q sudden
fury Of definition unauthorized by
Webster or Worcester. His sister, q
few years older than be, was Chamber
ing wildly over the wall, panic-strick-
en- by the apparition Of a mild and
mooing procession numbering barnward
from round a corner Of the lane.
Why are women, not country bred,
instinctively afraid of cows2 What
is there terrible In a COW, except that
it ia big2 But then, what is there ter
rible In a mouse, except that 1t Is
smallI Both forms Of fear are pug
cling; both are amusing to the onlook-
er, but real and painful to the sufferer
Both are a matter Of the nerves; and
both. fortunately, are disappearing as
an athletic outdoor life gives health
and nerves and courage to women.
Most women still dislike mice; but a
mouse among an assembly of women
no longer creates an uproar, and even
she who shudders and skips to safety
on sofa neither shrieks nor collapses
ina faint upon her perch, as our fore
mothers were not ashamed to do.
There Is a like Improvement in the
relation Of women to cows. Most wo-
men yet prefer cows at a distance; but
they are learning fast to endure, to
confront to defy, to "shoo,' yes, even
at need to milk the monster before
which they were wont TO fee in terror
with outcries Of dismay, or to appeal
abJectly for help to the nearest freckle-
faced boy of but fraction their age
and inches.
The tramplng girl, the camping girl,
the camera girl, the golfing girl, the
botanizing girl all find 1t alike incon-
venient and humillating to pamper
their fear Of cows If fear they have.
1t has become O thing to conquer.
Moreover, one who has conquered It de-
clares there are few prouder moments
in the life Of woman than that in
which she first successfully "shoos"
COW. Parasol, stick, or even stalk of
mullen or waving fern-frond In hand
anything to give the sense Of being
armed-she braces her soul for mar
tyrdom and keeps the middle Of the
path, heroically indicating to the ap-
preaching cattle that 1t Is for them,
nevermore for her, to take to the ditch
when space Is insufficient.
There is breathless, an awful In
stant-then a great hoof splays spat-
tering into the mud, the dun bulk of
the leader lumbers clumsily aside with
cow-bell clashing, the others, turning
large eyes inqulrlngly upon her as they
pass, follow suit, and victory is hersl
Henceforth the twilight hour, lowell
est Of all in country byways, has lost
Its terrors. Her cowardice overcome,
she can even welcome as an added
charm In the tranquil scene of unper-
turblng presence of the picturesque,
placid, slow, sweet-breathing cow

Doctor now queried Mr.. Lee, what
course is next to be pursuedT
"We must go to the porter's lodge, on
the premlses-I think the keeper is still
there-get the keys Of the hall, and in
Vestlgate the ruined part, with its con-
cealed room. If we find all as here said,

q false baron has reigned In his stead.
The gentlemen acqulesced In the plan,
and silently wended their way to the now
deserted hall. They did not take the
front entrance to the grounds, but gained
II by a shorter route, emerging at the
rear Of the house, and 50 passing unseen
to the elump Of bushes, behind which
was the entrance previously used by DR.
Elfenstein.
Once In the corridor they hastened TO
the end near the tower stairs. and there
wide open, exposed to view through still
parted panels and displaced shelves, lay
the concealed room which for twenty
Ave years had held poor Sir Arthur
q prisoner, Just as the journal had de-
scribed II.
Every link was now perfectl The hor-
rible tale was truel If further confirma-
tIon was needed, It was at hand, In the
shape Of the one note written by Regl-
maid to his brother, when he had given
him pen, ink and paper, ut his earnest
request. This note fell from book that
Mr.. Lee picked from the table. Lawyer
Huntley knew the writing at once, as he
had often received notes from the false
baronet, in relation to legal matters.
Having discovered all that could be
done that day, the three gentlemen wend-
ed their way from the place, and after
returning TO their homes for their even
ing meals, they all decided to meet at the
village Inn, and there make known the
contents Of the mysterious wallet.

Former Diplomat aad Republican

Bormer Diplomat and Republican
Leader Against . War Policy.
John W. Foster. an eminent Repub-
lican and accomplished diplomat, in an
address before the American Bar Asso-
citation few days ago said:
1t has been reported in the press
that the Secretary Of the Navy has an
nounced himself in favor Of q navy
equal to the greatest in the world. I
trust he has been misQuoted. Our
Government should be ready to enter
into an engagement for international
disarmament, and not one looking to
further increase Of the navy. This
country should hold itself to other and
far more peaceful pursuits in the set
Element Of strife than to the making
Of implements Of destruction and
DEATH"
This Il rank heresy; in fact, It Is
treason to Roosevelt. 1t is likewise
evidence that Mr.. Foster is not looking
to the Administration for any more
jobs as arbitrator Of international diff
ferences or negotiator Of treaties be-
tween this and other countries.
or course Mr.. Foster Is well aware
that the Secretary of the Navy has not
been mlsQuoted. He Is on record as
saying that he favors the construction
OF battleship Of 10000 tons dIsplace-
ment, one that will knock the spots
on" anything in this line yet launched
abroad. The Secretary OF the Navy is
the Presidents "Me. Too" SO It is safe
to predict that the gentleman with the
big Stick" will not be satisfied with
the size and destructive capacity Of the
battleship Connecticut Just launched
at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. He wants
ship one-ffth larger than the Con-
necticut It'is doubtful IL he will be
contented with the navy until he has a
batdeship as large as the biggest Brit
tsh and the biggest German battleship
combined. A battleship powerful
enough, without assistance from other
ships, to make any South American re-

PROTECTION ARGUMENTS MET.
Trusts, Combined, Defeat the VERY
Object OF the Protection Theory.

Trusts, Combined, Defeat the Very
Object OF the Protection Theory.
''The sole economic argument for a
protective tariff" said Colonel A. a..
Bacon, Of Brooklyn, in his recent
speech to the Travellers Club, ',is the
ultimate benefit to the consumer by
means Of lower prices through domes-
tic competition. The gigantic trusts
have combined domestic plants 50 as to
defeat the very object Of the tarin
under which they thrive. Prices are
increased until a shipbuilder on the
Clyde can buy American steel plate
SO q ton cheaper than a shipbuilder
on the Kennebec, who row asks the
general Government for q subsidy
equal to SO ton to make up the diff
ference.
~'But,' says a Republican President,
q reduction Of the tariff would de-
stroy the small manufacturers who
are still infants and wLo bask In the
shadow OF the giant trusts This ar
gument is too simple for children even.
The tariff is to protect against the
foreign competitor, but the foreign
competitor must first destroy the larg-
est domestic manufactures before he
can get at the infants. The battle
must be waged between the giants,
for the foreign giant could not occupy
the home field without nrst defeating
the domestic giant; and, under this re-
cent argument, any man By investing
q thousand dollars in q steel plant,
nfty years from now could defeat the
reduction Of the tariff, even though the
American Steel Trust was furnishing
tts product at every capital Of the
world. No, the moment one domestic
firm becomes Q giant. its very life de-
Ponds upon its fighting every foreign
foe. and Il thus protects every infant
that coddles under its shelter.
But again say the orators: Amer
lean laborers must not be reduced to
the level Of the pauper labor Of
Europe We are reminded Of the
traveller and his dog lost In the des-
0rt Starvation stared them In the |
face. The traveller cut OF the dogs |
tail, roasted II, ate the meat and |
threw back the bone to the dog. This
represents the share Of labor In the |

Democracy says: we believe in
expansion, but not in Imperialism. We
believe that the Constitution should
follow the Dag, and that we should
have no territory that we do not ex-
pect at some time to adopt into the
family Of States Expansion adopts
children. Imperialism buys slaves. Re-
publican imperialism would conquer,
rule and bully the world, through brute
force. Democratic expansion would
take in only contiguous and homogene-
GUS peoples. 1t would extend the Mon
roe Doctrine to republics everywhere
until all peoples are homogeneous re-
publics, despots remembered only as
a faint memory, and all the world at
peace, ruled by love, under the pro-
tecting arm Of the great republic"
