The American Nation is not much
of an observer OF holidays. We are
jealous Of our working hours. and will
only give them up for the most i'm.
portapt of anniversaries. For this
reason it vas many years before Wash
ington's birthday became universally
recognized, and it has been a very few
years since it was made a legal holiday
in Indiana. In the same way Lin
coins birthday is now a legal holiday
In only a few states, and will probably
never become national. This results
from no lack Of veneration for the
memory of Lincoln; indeed that veneer
alton grows year by year until we
have ceased to place him second to
Washington himself. RcI the two
days come in the same month, and
Washington's birthday has the ad-
vantage of prior establishment.-Indi-

Representative Milne, of the COM

pleted his estimate of what his SER
vice pension bill would cost annually
and places the amount at SO, 800, 900.
His measure fEeS the minimum at
$40 a month and grades pay above
that amount according to length of
service. The committees estimate on
the G. A. r. bill, which fixes S12 a
month without reference to length of
service, is nearly complete and will
show the annual cost in the neighbor-
hood of $1,000, 600. The committee
has not yet tried to reach an agree
ment on a bill.

Value OF Reputation.

Louis Ludlow. the Washington cor

been offered $3.50 per week for twenty
weeks, for a series of Chautauqua lee

platform and doesn't expect to soon.
He has been offered as much as 81, 900
for a single lecture but declined the
offer. 1t is easy for a man to make
big money after he GETS reputation,
bnt he must possess brains in order to
get the reputation-unless he's a
prize fighter. and even then he must
be a rapid thinker if he succeeds

Deputy Divorce Prosecutor Weaver
of Indianapolis has decided that no
Judge has a right to restore the maid
en- name of a woman ia granting her
a divorce from her husband. He de-
clares it is simply tradition which the
courts have followed for a long time,
but that the law does not permit a
Judge to allow a woman to give up
the name she takes when she accepts
the marriage vows.

The Feminine Language.
From the London Outlook.

From the LONDON OUTLOOK.
You may talk to woman for an hour or
more and understand every word she says.
Meat, bread. money; motor-cars, drains.
the ace Of trumps-there is really no space
at my disposal to give a list Of the words
that are common to both languages. In
fact, most Of the solid, concrete things of
life may be left out of the question It is
when we pass beyond the concrete that the
real misunderstanding arises Take a ceu-
pie of very common words used equally by
both sexes. A man will say that So-and-So
is nice girl. I should know what he
meant. A woman will reply that the girl
is pretty. agreeable and all that sort of
thing-but that she is mot quite nice"
The two are using the same word to ex-
press different ideas. and they will never
agree as to whether that girl is nice or
otherwise until they can talk the same
language.
Again. in the feminine dictionary the
opposite Of nice is ''horrid." man will
talk Of a mice scoundrel" and ''horrid
BORE" and can understand him. But when
a woman tells me that a man Is wealthy
and clever and g0od-looking-"but I'm
sure he's horrid'-she has dropped into
her foreign language. can only be sure
that she does not mean what mean when
I speak of '.horrid girl"

JOHN HARVARD AT SOUTHWARK
Window In Saint Saviour's Church in
His Memory Proposed.

From the London Standard.
The American residents In London who
propose to honor the memory of John Har-
ward, founder of the famous Massachusetts
college. by window in ST. Saviour's
Church, Southwark. need not be afraid that
in this instance some meddling antiQuary
will hereafter dispute the birthplace of
their worthy. The evidence as to Harvard's
connection with Southwark viii stand the
minutest investigation. Thus. the entry of
his baptism still exists in the church regis
ter with the date November %. 1907. and.
in all probability he was born in an old
row of sloopS opposite Bears Head Court.
which was not demolished until 1929. when
c!earances were made for the approach to
London bridge. Thanks to the interesting
researches of Mr.. Rend!e, the re-creator of
bygone Southwark, we are able to follow
Harvard through career less out of the
common in the seventeenth century than it
would be- perhaps. in the present.
Under various spellings of the name, the
family had established itself in the borough
as a prosperous middle-claSs clan. Some
were butchers. others lankeeperS. AS South
wark consisted largely of tavernS. the Har
wards must have seen good deal of its
money pass through their hands. John Har-
wards father, Robert, purveyed meat until
the plague removed him. His widow was

Richard Yearwood, was member of parlia-
men fo- the borough 1t was his doing, no
doubt, that John Harvard matriculated at
Emmanuel College, Cambridge. Soon after
he took bis degree his mother died. having
become proprietress Of the Queens Head
tavern apparently through her second hus-
band, John Ellison Elietson.
The young man became possessed, there
fore, of considerable means, and. had he so
chosen, might have enjoyed an easy and re-
spected life in the land of his birth. The
Queens Head was noted house, frequent

HAVE HAD POOR SPORT.
Not Favorable to Anglers
Since Season Opened.

The statement from Harpers Ferry,
printed in yesterdays Star. that the Silen-
ardoah river at that point was cloudy,
proved source of encouragement to the
many anglers in this city who are anxious
to land few bass. There has scarcely
been a day since the opening of the season
that the fishermen have been able to enjoy
an outing. The muddy water spoiled the
perch fishing this spring. and about the
only sport of this kind that has been en-
joyed has been trout fishing In the small
streams. Many big catfish have been
caught this week in the river about the
city, and number of plymouth bass have
been landed at Four Mile Run
at looks as If we Will have to be content
with Grabbing" remarked an angler to

abiding season has been a little back

being caught in the vicinity of Annapolis,

and they are getting more plentiful every
day."

the mill owners will do everything in their
power to stop the pollution of the water.

EXPORTS TO CANADA.
Will Be Larger for This Fiscal Year
Than Every Before.

Exports from the United States to Canada
will be larger In the fiscal year about to
end than In any preceding year. Reports
lust prepared by the Department or COM
merce and Labor show for the ten months
for which figures are already received total
exports to Canada amounting to NO4.OOO,OoO.
against 9SOOO,O 900 in the corresponding
months of 1905 and $S9O0O.O00 in the same
months of 1902. Going back to 1897, the
year in which the Canadian reduction In
tariff on imports from the united kingdom
went into effect. the figures OF our exports
to Canada during the ten months ending
with April, 1897. are SOL ,003.5 I9 or but
one-half those of the ten months ending
with April. 1904.
The Canadian reduction of duty on I'M
ports from the united kingdom and certain
OF Its colonies began in April. 1897, with
reduction of 12k per cent. In 1898 this re-
duction was increased to Is per cent. and in
1900 to 33ts per cent. and has so continued
up to the present time. A table showing
the total exports from the United States to
Canada, covering a long term of years, in
dicates that there has been a more rapid
growth in exports to Canada since 1897 than
at any period preceding that year. For the
full fiscal year our exports. to Canada were.
in 1874. 81 600 coo; In 1884. ~, 000. 900: In
1894. $4,000, 600: In 1897. the year In which
the Canadian reduction Of duty on imports
from the united kingdom occurred. $65 co.,

quite $3.50. 0.0OO. and will exceed those OF
any preceding year. ,.rfs.A 49, Hf.

Dainties Of the Russian Peasant,

From Social Service.
The Russian peasant. even IL the bread
he eats Is black. has a bon bouche to add
to his meal much sought by epicures in the
western world-the wild mushrooms which
grew thousands upon thousands. on the step
pes of Russia. At any time full and savory
meal is provided with the addition Of sau-
sage and onions: even mushroom alone
often contents them for a meal with their
coarse rye bread. The poorest laborer has
also luxurious drink always available
from the ever present samovar, and the tea
they drink would be the envy of any Ameri-
can connoisseur of that beverage, for the
best of China'S tea Is found in Russia, and
all classes enjoy its quality and fragrance
Never is the water allowed to stand on the
tea over a few moments, none of the

lightful, mildly stimulating. straw-colored
drink is the result. 1t would be well IL the
Russian peasant would content himself
with this, for his only great vice is drunk

the rags are collected from all over Europe.

these rags and our common ones of wood
