asrarians are the people who may
have an idea that the United States is
a dangerous commercial rival. Prince
Henry's visit to the United States had
an excellent effect upon the masses OF
Germany, To-day, il an American sits
down with an intelligent resident OF
Hamburg or Berlin, the latter is likely
to refer in glowing terms to Americas
hospitable treatment of Germany's
most popular member of the royal
house.
The Germans may not be disposed ia
accept the Monroe doctrine at the
present time, they may even endeavor
to secure the pick of the trade in
South America, but they are not i'm
patiently awaiting the time when them
can lock horns with the United States.
We predict that in the years to come
Germany and the United States will
be fast friends, who will mutually en-
gage in noble, undertakings, which
must make the world a better world for
all classes.
Here's to Germany-our friend and flu
ture ally.

Everyday Heroes.

A raging sea in which the life boat
could not float, a bit of human wreckage
clinging to a half-submerged pile-these
were the elements OF the opportunity,
says Eyerybody's, and the captain Of
the coast patrol OF the shore of Lake
Erie was the hero who seized it, bringing
his mar to safety after a long and peril
u struggle. Such a story has a reason
for being far above the fact that it Is
good reading. The world should know
about these splendid instances of human
courage and devotion, which usually are
passed over with a newspaper para
graph. Courage begets courage, and the
tale of a good deed fathers other good
deeds. We cannot afford to ignore our
commonplace heroes.

MOTIFS, who subsequently was a mem
Der of the committee to prepare a scaI
for the treasury and avy 1t is there
fore highly probable that Robert Nor
ris furnished the legend for the seal OF
the treasury, which would explain the
employment of the term North Amer
lea" The reason for using this term
was probably owing to the fact that the
fathers of the republic confidently ex-
pected that Canada would ultimately
become a part Of the sovereignty, and
be included in the Independent colonies.
In 1774 the popular legislature of
Canada was abolished by act of parlia-
ment, and royal officers appointed to
make laws for the province, except laws
to raise taxes. This gave the British
government a firm hold on Canada. Eff
forts were made in 1775, during the revo-
luton, to regain possession of Canada,
but those efforts failed.
In 1849 Edward Stabler, of Sandy
Spring, Montgomery county, Nd, one
of the most famous die sinkers and seal
engravers of his time, was commits
stoned to make a fac-simile of the orig
inal treasury seal, which was worn
from constant use, and failed to make
good impressions. Mr.. Stabler suggest
ted some minor changes in the way of
improvement, but was instructed to
copy the design exactly as it was, and
Sin accordance with law" Diligent eff
forts have failed to discover any law on
the subject.
In recruiting the seal it has been de-
termined by Secretary Shaw that as the
great seal has always been, so shall it
remain, of course, unless congress
should direct otherwise. AS one official
remarked: "The United States may
own the earth one of these days: then
will be time enough to make the
change"

JAPAN'S NAVAL POWER.
Marvellous Progress Has Placed the
Nation Among Worlds Great
Naval Powers.

In 1858 Queen Victoria presented a
small steam yacht to the emperor OF
Japan, detailing some British blue
Jackets to the duty of instructing the
Japanese in the management of that
class of vessel. The Japanese under
took to handle the craft before they
had thoroughly learned their lesson,
and on the first voyage, when they
wanted to stop, they discovered that
they had forgotten how this operation
was performed. They therefore
steamed round and round the gulf Of
Yeddo until the fires died down, and
then the yacht was tugged home, says
the North American Review. Since
then Japan has risen to the position OF
one of the great naval powers, and heI
progress of recent years has been moth
ing short of marvellous. At the time OF
her war with China her whole fleet
displaced about 10000 tons; to-day the
aggregate displacement is over 100000
tons. Japan has a fishing population OF
about 10000 men, and from this Sec
ton of the community she draws her
seamen. Hitherto she has been de-
pending Upon other countries for the
construction of her vessels. but the
time is near at hand when she will be
able to throw off the assistance of the
western world. Her a~rsenals are al
ready capable of building protected
cruisers and torpedo craft, and a gun
factory and armor plate factory are
now being established which will soon
be ready to begin work.

III GERMAN PEOPLE.
This Writer Says They Are Not Lying
Awake Nights to Hate
Americans.

The people of the United States are
prone to accept every cock and bull
story that sensation mongers circulate
about Germany. We must acknowl-
edge that the kaiser has sadly misun-
derstood us in the past, that his peo-
pie have been inclined to envy our
commercial supremacy, but that EN-
peror William and his advisers are
strengthening the German army and
charging the German navy with the
.dea OF eventually going to war with
the United States we must seriously
doubt, says a writer In the Albany Press
Knickerbocker.
During the past spring the writer
spent several weeks in. Germany. From
the time he landed at Cuxhafen until
he sped toward tho south of Europe
he neve heard a word or viewed an
act which might lead him to infer that
there was any serious prejudice
against Americans. In Hamburg, in
erlin, in Potsdam. in the Black For

MADAME'S NEW HAT.
WIFE TOOK HUSBAND ALONG TO
 GET HIS ADVICE.
His Assistance Was of Negative Sort, However, and She Didn't Like It-Purchase Deferred
 for One Day.

The Baltimore News makes the wise and emphatic assertion that millinery shops are no place for men. That was decided long ago; but great many men visit them, none the less, impelled thereto by desire to oblige their wives or their sWeethearts, or occasionally their daughters. There was a man in a millinery shop who looked, as much as meek and humble person could. like bull in china shop. He was a mere husband-that was apparent-and he seated himself uneasily on one of the frail chairs with stealthy glance about to see whether any of the women cus- toners were resenting his intrusion.
 But, bless you, the women customers were busy as one man putting on head- gear and taking 1t off again, so they did not even suspect his presence. It was evident that the man had been brought in order that his valuable ideas on the subject of colors and shapes might be had, and if ever reluctance was writ large on a face 1t was on his.
 The saleswoman brought out big hat that fiopped in the wind, or would have if there had been any wind, and placed it on the customers head. How is that?" she asked, stepping back to ad- mire.
 The lady looked at herself from every point of view, with the assistance of a handglass. T think it is rather large for my style" she murmured, after five min utes of this observation. What do you think, George?''

James Lee, charged with larceny of a calf, was tried in Hillsboro, Ore, before Circuit Judge T. A. Mcbride. The lost property was taken from MT, Dennis, of Patton Valley, over one year ago, but the trial was continued until this term because some of the witnesses could not be found.
 The evidence showed that the herd of cattle with which the calf was run ming had been rounded up in pasture near by and the calf and it's mother driven to MT. Lees corral.
 One of the witnesses had seen the mother of the calf shut in an inclosure near the defendants premises, but the

 "Ah! M. PAbbe." said he, recogniz- ing an old friend.

That night the no bleman was carried to the bastile, and the evidence of a crime committed 30 years before was complete.
 Cigars and liqueurs vanished mys- teriously from the shelves of a Lon don restaurant. Watching seemed of no avail; the stock still disappeared.

 For long while the parcels and trunks carried in the baggage ears of certain trains were tampered with. The detectives watched closely but had no clew, When the train reached it's journeys end the cords and locks of the packages were ell right but some of the contents were missing. At last suspicion fell upon the brakeman, and it was decided to test him. On this particular night he was tempted to look into a large wooden package which wore the appearance of contain ing good things. By the aid of a screwdriver and hammer he raised the lid of the crate and forced it half open. What was his amazement when he found it contained the detective, who sprang out and arrested him on | the spot
