WISDOM OF MODERATION.

Instead Of contemplating new ave-
nues for extrayagant display OF force
or wealth, lot the country consider the
wisdom of moderation. 1t has been
suggested that a public debt under
certain conditions serves a wholesome
purpose in restraining waste and
checking those enterprises which nave
no other inspiration than national
vainglory or aggrandizement' "Prl'
yate credit is wealth, public honor
is security"
The nation that needs to consider
economy is not consuming vast wealth
and exploiting immense resources IN
huge and monstrous armaments that
challenge the world. She is likely, IN
deed, to avoid offense to other nations
to be slow to anger, and to cultivate
the rewards of peace. Instead OF seek
ing distinction as the exponent OF
mere splendid materialism, such a
people would meet the magnificent de-
scription that was made by the poet
Milton: '
"Enaamed with the study OF learn
Ing and the admiration Of virtue;
stirred up with high hopes Of living
to be brave men and worthy patriots
dear to God, and famous to all ages

THE VALUE OF TREES.

In many parts Of our country farm
Ing would be impossible but for the
trees, such is their influence upon
the streams. They regulate the wat
er supply, and their tendency Is to
prevent both floods and drought; they
supply fuel, one Of the greatest neces-
stiles Of life, and they furnish the
lumber for the building Of our cities,
railroads, ships, and q thousand other
things without which our present state
of civilization would not have been
possible for ages, II at ALL This Is
why we Should be careful Of our for
ests, which are fast dwlndling away
in many sections; this Is why we
should leglslate against sheep-grazing
In the forests, and against all other
practices which tend to cause forest
fires, and why we should try to pro-
tect our trees from their natural ene'
mics, such as landslldes, foods, in
sects and fungi. And 1t Is well to bear
in mind the fact that we cannot re-
place In fifty years q tree which we
can destroy in an hour-Woman's

SUBMARINE HAZARDS.

The death of eleven men in the
British submarine boat A l as a re-
suit of a collision with merchant
steamer Is the first fatality that has
followed an accident to a modern
craft of this kind when ready for sery'
Ice with matches battened down. The
early attempts at underwater naviga-
tion of course were only form OF
suicide, but the submarine boat Of the
latest type when properly handled,
seems to be as safe as anything that
takes the chances Of the sea. When
the Moccasin was cast adrift In a
storm she rolled ashore, and after
pounding on the beach for several
days was finally hauled off as good
as new. Any surface torpedo boat AFT
er her experience would have been a
LOldl WTeCh.
Even the British boat that has just
had SO tragic an experience does not
seem to have been injured by a blow
that probably would have sunk a bat
tleship. The lesson Of her experience
is the particular need of vigilance on
the part of the lookout on a boat
which, being invisible, cannot depend
on other craft to do any of her watch
ing for her. Perhaps, too, the perl
scope the eye of the submarine, may
be opened to improvement

LABOR As JOY OR CURSE.

It is worthy Of note that all the
great historical religions Of the world
Of the millions OF Egypt
toiling under the lash to build the
pyramids at the wages Of couple OF
onions and d piece Of dry bread Jay,
or Of the millions Of India working in
the rice swamps amid swarms OF pes
tiferous insects, or Of the millions OF
the Semitic race whose traditions
have been gathered together in the
story Of Eden and Of the fall In the
Book Of Genesis-all have been rooted
and grounded in the problem Of the
common doom Of man that he must
eat his bread in the sweat OF his body
and the sweat Of his mind. None Oh
these religions affects to treat tne
issue fippantly, rhetorically or WIN
commonplace platitudes, but with
awful seriousness. The enormous
overweight Of the burden Of the WORK
in comparison with the strength splr'
its, interest and reward Of the worker
is what oppresses the minds OF these
teachers and prophets and brings
them to the common ominous conVlc-
tion that this must be the outcome OF
some primeval curse and Of some
stupendous moral catastrophe, re-
demption from which Is the end and
aim Of all higher spiritual hope
Labor may be either Joy or curse
All turns on whether 1t is encounter
ed with freshness, spontaneity and
zest, Or whether it is the draining to
the dregs the springs Of life' Once Tor
all, out with it, fair and square ana
plump! There is no more dignity nor
elevation In mere labor tnan Ill a
mechanical pump-handle. what II
lifts from the living, central springs
beneath determines all. Our Joy must
be in this living water yelling up,
as we ourselves quaff Its refreshment
or extend 1t to the thirsty lips Oh
Others. For this sole joy that is set
before us must we endure the cross
and despise the pain We think the
poets exempt from this mol, pure
children Of inspiration. Never the
weary pump.handle for them but only
the leaping geyser. But hear what
Milton has to say: "No worthy en-
terprise can be done by US without
continual ploddins and wearisomeness

RUSSIA, LAND OF eRAFTERs.

To Petersburg came three Ameri'
can business men to secure a gold
mining concession. There are S6l
places where gold is found in Russia,
and our friends wanted the privilege
OF working one Of those places. First
they had to deposit $4,000 with the
Ministry Of the Interior as good
faith" So much for the regular legal
part of the program. Now for the ir-
regular, illegal part. They Kept IN
their room at the Hotel Europe a bag
of hard, cold cash in golden rubles'
This cash they doled out in Install
monts, first to this prince, then to that
count, for influence" Each time they
handed out the money they were told
that their proposition had been found
good, and promises were made that
the concession would be speedily
granted. Each time the would-be con-
cesslonaires believed that they had
accomplished something, and each
time they were disappointed and had
to refill the money bag The wearl-
some delay in the negotiations con-
tinued week after week; technical OBJ
stacles, each more serious than the
preceding one, we're brought forward;
and 80 weeks grew into months, and
| the Americans were not one step near
or the goal. Deciding that bankruptcy
would come before any kind Of a def
mite conclusion could be obtained,
they went away with what cash they
had left and an accumulated amount
of disgust. Their $4,000 was returned
with all legal formalities, but consid-
erably more than that sum was left
in the hands of the princes and counts
Such has been the experience OF many
other Americans seeking to do busi'
ness in Russia-each in sheer despera-
tion abandoning his enterprise. e.-Gll-

Eton Jacket.

Eton jackets are to be noted among
lhe most fashionable coats and are
jaunty, becoming and generally at
tractiye. This one includes the tiny
vest effect that marks the latest de-
signs with full sleeves and the drop
shoulders that give the broad line Of
fashion. As shown 1t is made Of wood
brown broadcloth with trimming Of
brown and white braid, the vest being
white cloth braided with brown and
tan, but all suiting materials are ap-
proprlate and the vest can be one Of
many things. Oriental embroidery Is
much liked, brocades and lace are
seen and wide brand Is used.
The Jacket Is made with fronts and
back and is fitted by means of single
darts, shoulder and under-arm seams.
The little vest can be applied over the
edge and finished with the braid, or
the Jacket can be cut away and the
edge Of the vest arranged under IT,
then stitched to position, The sleeves
are gathered and are Joined to the

Eton Collars for Spring.

The Eton collar Is noticed on some
spring suits. 1t is q welcome change
from the collarless effects OF former
seasons. 1t gives a girllsh, not to say
boyish, look to the wearer. 1t has
already beNl seen on the English ten
mis- suits of white duck and sea green
linen in Florida courts, and now II
comes along as a top dressing OF the
bolero or jacket-shaped bodices OF
spring suits.
1t is Of linen usually, but is made
more becoming and softly feminine by
a frilling Of soft Valenciennes lace
sewed all the way around. The open
space between the collar points is
thus filed in and finished with a bow

BOOMERANG OF GREED.

The failure of D. j. Sully, the cot.
ton speculator, is merely another in
stance of overreaching greed. Ii Mr..
Sully had been content with a mod
crate profit of a million dollars, or
perhaps of three or four millions, he
could undoubtedly have come off with
a whole skin when cotton reached the
abnormal figures of the last of Janu.
ary. But like other men intoxicated
by success, he was not satisfied with
his achievement The fascination OF
the game or greed for money-they
amount practically to the same thing
urged him into another bull move
ment. He believed he could put cot
ton to almost any price he pleased
and he failed.
The case Is by no means peculiar
The successful speculator who be.
comes oyerconfdent, tries to run a
corner and Is pulver'@Nd in the at
tempt, Is familiar figure in American
market history. Natural laws which
are always at work eliminating the
unfit rarely allow the too greedy spec
ulator to escape. Occasionally a rare
combination Of qualities may save
him, but as a rule the man who tries
to hold up society and pick Its pock'
cts is overwhelmed. He may win for
time-whom the gods would destroy
they first make mad-but in the end
he rarely survives.
Yet the failures that strew the path
do not deter other ambitious and
grasping men from setting out on the
same course. Every new asplrant
imagines that he will prove too smart
| to be caught The mistakes Of others
he will avoid. He does not perceive
that he is defying the law that com
pensation legltlmately goes only for
service done. He does not foresee
that finally he, too, will succumb to
the boomerang Of greed.- .-Plttsbure

revolutions in which the efforts Oh
Don Carlos to seize the throne were
the prevailing causes. In 1S43 she
was declared Of age and shortly after
Isabella, through the efforts Of Louis
Philippe Of France, was married TO
her cousin, Francis Of Assist, a most
unhappy marriage.
The history Of Spain during the
reign Of Isabella presents. dismal
picture Of faction and intrigue. The
country was rent by political jealousy
and in 1868, Sarrano and Prim, the
liberal leaders who had been exiled
some years, returned and headed a
successful revolution, compelling lsa'
bella to flee to France. A provincial
government was established, but the
people Of Spain, long accustomed to
view royalty with superstitious rever'
ence, demanded the revival Of the
monarchy.
The crown was offered to and ac'
cepted by Alfonso XII, the young son
of Isabella, in 1874.
