Should the war be of long duration both Russia and Japan will have to borrow extensively in the worlds money market, both nations having al- ready sounded London, Paris and even New York on that point, says a New York banker. Such possibilities nat uraily produce very conservative feeling abroad, where strong efforts have been made to prevent fall in government securities, notably in Rus sians. ill which an attempt at Paris to prevent short sales served to stimu- late rather than allay distrust. Right ly considered, these conservative pro. ceedings are safeguard against dis aster ill event of emergencies, but they are inconvenient to those involved in unsuccessful speculation, and have al. ready exposed several weak. spots and induced important failures.

The bill to enact eight hours as a legal day for labor, within the bounds of national authority, has been sent to a committee, which evidently means to smother it, says writer on a New York paper. The passage of the bill would not affect directly the condition Of very great body of workingmen, but it would put the stamp of national approval upon a measure which the states are asked to adopt for all work CTS in mines, factories. and the like. The demand for this reduction of the hours of labor is just one, as society can dispense with the two hours thus given up all its needs being supplied by modern machinery in such abun- dance that the shorter day is suf- ficient. But just as the ten hour law was opposed fifty years ago. and with the same arguments, the eight hour law Is now opposed. Most of these arguments are drawn from the quiver of the free traders, who always have opposed any regulation of the hours of labor by law. as 'paternar' interfer- ence with the rights Of individuals. Bright and Golden voted against even the law to set limit to the labor of women in mines and factories, and English free trade writers depIore Lord shaftesbury's success in having that law enacted. American protec- tionists should wash their hands of such arguments, for>if the government has no right to protect the lives and health of it's people by legislation, what right has it to protect their in- dustries?

The friends of Editor Hearst made a great splurge for him in Rhode Island yesterday, getting five of the eight delegates to the national conven- ticn. While the delegates were not instructed for the hustling newspaper man, the leader of the winning faction gave it out that he was for Hearst for president. This being the first demo- cratic convention held, what effect it will have on those to come remains to be seen. @'c

Snuffy Scotswoman's Will.

One of the strangest wills pre-. served is that of 8 Mrs Margaret Thompson. who, ''in the name of God. amen" directed that in her col fin should be buried all her handker- chiefs and sufficient of the pest Scotch snuff to cover her body. Thls she preferred to flowers, as nothing could be more fragrant and so re- freshing to me as that precious pow. der" Further. the six greatest snufr takers in the parish of St. James, Westminster. were to be her bearers. Six old maids, each bearing in her hand box filled with the best Scotch snuff to take for their. refreshment as they walked. were to carry the pail. Before the corpse the minister was to walk, carrying and partaking of pound of snuff At every twenty yards a large handful of snuff was to be delivered to the bystanders. while at the door of the testator's house were to be placed for gratuitous dis tribution two bushels of the same quality of snuff. Several legacies de pended upon the fuIfilment of the con ditions of the will. and all concerned we're bidden to regard the powder as the grand cordial of nature.-St. James's Gazette. .

PROGRESS OF SCULPTURE.
Colossal Figures and Groups from
 Chisels of Famous Men.

Chisels of Famous Men.
 The work on the colossal figures and
 groups required for tue St. Louis
 Worlds fair has made excellent prog ress. Most of the well-known sculp-
 tors have been busy in their studios
 composing and designing and giving shape to the subjects and ideas which
 were given them by the chief of the
 department of sculpture, Karl Bitter.
 The resulting models show q marked
 advance over similar work on pre-
 vious occasions and are pronounced by
 experts not only satisfactory, but most promising with reference to
 their effect upon the future develop
 ment of the art of sculpture in this
 country. '-E
 Special credit is to be given to the
 younger generation of artists, to
 such sculptors who have been work ing as assistants in the larger stu
 dios and have received their >educa- ton chiefly in the art schools of this
 country. 1t is perhaps a matter Of
 course that the work of men of na- tional reputation should be of most
 creditahle character. An example Of
 such work is the equestrian statue of
 ''DeSoto, the Spanish Discoverer or the Mississippi which is to occupy
 prominent position on the exposition
 grounds. This is by ID. c. Potter. Another is from the nand of Chas. R. Niehaus, which includes an eques- trian statue of Louis TX, known as St. | Louis, whose name the exposition Deafs. It is an example of powerful h1storl- cal portraiture. Horse and rider are represented in armor and in the most dignified and heroic attitude. The pro- portions of which this particular piece
 were enlarged at the exposition shop
 and are colossal.
 l Philip Martiny has completed two 1 fountains which show his charming
 decorative qualities ill a marked de- gree. MT Martiny has a style or ms l own easily distinguished and wei comed by all who appreciate a deli
 cate and sculpturesque treatment or
 architectural effects.

An excellent model of a statue rep 1 resenting ''Victory" has been deliv- l cred by Michael Tonetti. 1t might pc said that few, works have been done for expositions which show sucn a 1 thorough study of booth the human 1 figure and drapery. Charles A. Lopez and the amman sculntor. F. G. R. Booth, collaborated
 on an animal model for the colossal 1 Quadriga, which adorns the Lberai Arts building. While the general mo- tive of this design must for archltec- l tural reasons recall similar conposl- tions MT Lopez has shown such ex-
 cellent facility in disposing of his his great masses that we find this oia subject rendered in an entirely new and most attractive manner.

Novelties In Fashions.

Ostrich plumes of all shades and hries are being worn by the smart women,
 who five years ago would have said
 "Absurdr' to even think of having a
 real ostrich plume in any but black or white, says the New York Press. But now the styles of thirty years ago have become popular, with the exception of the shading from cardinal to pastel hue in one long plume, which is dis tinctly of this revival. Gowns from
 kinu, Japanese cloth of silky texture, are being purchased by women who want something "brand new" Kinu is like pongee in color, for where pongee has smooth surface kinu mas a heavy rib that gives the cloth rough appear ance.

Senator Scott of West Virginia was making an earnest plea for an increase of pension for man who lost both eyes in the war. He said that man who had had both legs amputated re- ceiyed $100 month.
 "It is nothing but justice" acclaimed Mir. Scott. "I merely desire to put the eyeless man on the same plane with the legless.' .

SWEET WINES AND SUGAR.

1t is not always correct to attribute the sweetness of wine to sugar; if may be due to glycerine or to the for. nation as age is acquired of sweetly. tasting ethers. The presence of gly. cerine in wines is frequently over looked, and yet this sweet body is al ways present, but ill varying amount according to the activity of the yeast concerned in the production of the wine. Sometimes the production ot glycerine is as much as one-fourteen's of the volume of the alcohol. We have examined old wines which pos sessed a peculiar sweet flavor, yet which on analysis showed a propor ton of sugar quite inconsistent with the degree of sweet taste Such 3 wine would be rejected by many be cause the sweetness would be regard ed as an indication of an undesirable proportion of sugar
 The sweetness which sometimes de velops i'll old wines may be due to the disappearance of the acids. their soul taste making the natural sweetness ol the wine, while as the acid flavor di
 minishes by the separation of the acids ill the form of "crust'' the pal ate more readily recognizes the sweet ness of the glycerine. Possibly also as age is acquired the glycerine com pines with the acids, forming new combines which are sweet to the taste. The ethers of wine dissolved in alcohol are perceptibly sweet to the taste. In the same way old matured spirits possess quite q sweet flavor which according to analysis, is due neither to glycerine nor to sugar, but to subtle ether compounds. .-
 Sweetness is probably only mat ter of chemical structure, and giver the atoms certain position in the architecture of the molecule sweet ness becomes property of the sub stance.-Iancet

gress are said to have swarmed through the corridors of the postoffice department at Washington on Thurs day, demanding an interview with MT Bristow, the assistant postmaster-gen- eral, who is regarded as the author of the report which has been published showing how members of congress worked the department ill the interest of constituents who desired large post office rentals, larger salaries as clerks, etc. MT Bristow was sick abed, and the irate members had to satisfy them- selves for the time being by going into his official headquarters and making faces at the furniture. There was & very excited debate in the house during the afternoon, in which Mir Hill of this state denounced the author of the re- port as a liar for whom he was busily hunting. Many other members were in an equally unhappy state of mind, as disclosed by their remarks. But the joke in the whole affair is said to be that the report which has caused so much trouble never had any re- sponsible author. It seems that the members of the house committee on postoffices, who were anxious to stave off a public investigation of their con- nection with the postofiice business, asked the postmaster-general to fur- nfsh them with the facts, under 8 promise that nothing would be pub lished. Mir Payne caused the data to be culled out of MT Bristow's vol luminous collection of official items. and sent what he found to the committee. Then the committee itself went ahead and printed the whole thing under tue title, Charges Against Members of Congress- No blame can rightfully att tach to MT Bristow under the circum- stances. Nor can the postmaster-gen- eral be held to be at fault in the mat ter. The members of congress must hold their own committee responsible for whatever embarrassment they have suffered
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-03-11

It would be most laughable, if the affair were not so serious, at the way the republicans who have been named by the Bristow report have gone into the air. Our own MT Lilley seems to be the coolest of the lot. Congress- man Hill ran wild, as the saying goes, and acted as though he wanted to fight somebody or something, and threw aside the protection his position throws around him and called the au- thor of the report liar and a scoun- drel. Men have had to apologize on the floor of the house. for less than that, and they have also had to back up their assertions on the field of honor.. Hill will hardly be called out, but he should be careful lest he over do the thing. The Hartford Post, a republican paper, in speaking on this subject, says: "In yesterdays debate Bristow was
 jumped OH. Dozens of congressman
 used him as a punching bag. Kitchin of North Carolina called Bristow an attempted congressional blackmailer Butler of Pennsylvania characterized
 him as coward. Hill of Connecticut intimated that he was a liar and 8 scoundrel. and so on. This is not the language of intellectual sobriety
 These are not the epithets of reason
 This is the talk of irritation, of emo 1 ton, of anger. It tends to hurt those who utter it more than him at whom l 1t is aimed. It isn't pretty, it grates
 on the ear and it doesn't look we'll ir print. Bristow is none of these things 1 which he was called yesterday, ant

British OHcers Studying Japanese.

A small, industrious body of British officers are at Tokyo engaged in the study of the Japanese language" says the London Mail. Arrangements for their dispatch and reception had been concluded before the war broke out. Obviously, with Japan for our ally, it was necessary that British of- f1cers should be cognizant of her lam guage, since at any time they might be called upon to serve side by side with their new allies in the field. They are now taking advantage of their presence to watch and to gather ideas from the Japanese arrangements for mobilization and transport of troops. The officers will remain two years.
