everything now emphasized in Ger many. so far as it bears a relation to royalty. divine right, armies, navies or the general expansion of German infiu- ence. They seem somehow to have It. tie else of set purpose beyond the desire to forget these as soon as possible. As individuals and as a people they have studiously avoided contentious in their new home and are little likely to ally themselves with those of far-of Ger many. They look on with wonder when a concession to build a railroad in Per sia or China or Turkey is represented as a matter of racial or national impor- tance. Recognizing these traits and conditions, the busy, prosperous Ger mans of America, ofen rich, nearly al- ways content, aspiring to new and higher standard of living, can hardly be expected to take seriously the vague aspirations inherent in the abstraction known as Pan-Germanism.
 This is plausible The Germans of this country are first-rate citizens of this country, not of the Germany which they have left for their own good. It
 isn't at all likely that they are more deeply interested in Germany than in the United States.

UNITED STATES GERMANS.

By the census of 1900 it was shown that our population in that year con- Itained 2,945,86 Germans born in the German empire and in Austria, and |8,267, ,409 persons of whom one parent or both parents were born in these countries. Even these figures do not adequately indicate the extent of the German infusion in our population. The Pan-Germanic idea is that all these Germans and persons of German de- scent share the imperial sentiment of the Kaiser, and are intensely interested in his plans for making Germany great world power. They are, in this view, but temporarily interested in American affairs and in a crisis can be depended upon to throw their influence upon American politics in favor of the Fatherland, finding there the origin of, the ideas and sentiments that animate them. This, however, according to an American correspondent of the London Times, is the reverse of the truth. But few Germans in America, it is held, cherish Pan-Germanic ideals or place loyalty to the Emperor before all else. The vast bulk, it is asserted, are cblivi- ous of the,ideas and institutions of the Fatherland or have positively discarded them. They prefer the democratic in- stitutions they find here, and devote themselves to industry without regard for world politics. There is, it is as- serted, feeling of indifference to

sAuoE roR rHE GOOSE.

There are people who believe that what is sauce for the gander is sauce for the goose. One of them is Elmer Oliver of Wilkesbarre. Pennsylvania. AIr. Oliver has loved and lost. and he feels about it just as some young wo- men who love and lose do. He says: It's just as hard for a man to be tilted as for a girl. He feels it just as much. Then, too, coupled with disappointment is the fact that the man usually spends a goodly sum of money giving the girl a good time. and has settled himself in view of the coming marriage. When he is tilted he not only loses the money, but he has to begin all over again. Perhaps my suit against Miss Alspaugh may be warning to other girls. hope it will.
 It is quite probable that Brother Divers benevolent intent towards other girls will be spurned by them. And probably his own ex-girl will not learn much from his action. But it is well enough to have one such breach of promise suit just for change and well enough for Brother Oliver to talk in the way he does.

 Goodness and Cleanliness Distinguish
 Them-The s'Bounder" Type.
 From now on comfort is the supreme consideration in dress. We will go about in two-piece suits, soft shirts. fold collars, low-cut boots, belts, straw hats. ties and slim four-in-hands We will put aside our waist-coats, turn up our trousers and get into knee draw CTS and sleeveless undershirts-that is, if we prize coolness and cleanliness. In short, we will be comfortable, and that, too, without forfeiting one little of smartpess. If we follow the sports, we will dress suitably and sensibly, but we will not seek that false picturesque ness that savers of the circus, rather than of the prairie and the camp fire. Also, we will adapt our mode of dress to time. place and circumstances and we will not wear our knickers and tweeds in town, nor promenade country clubs frock-coated and top-hatted. We will attend dance or hop dressed as the other men dress, and we will not render ourselves conspicuous by obstl- nately clinging to hard and fast rules about the tall coat or the tailless coat. We will yield to usage without yielding up our convictions on these subjects. Few oddities will be worn this summer. Indeed, I do not remember a season that has been so clearly dominated by soberness and moderation < in dress. The suitings, as I have said, are the tried-and-true homespuns and serges that have done worthy service, and in none of the clothes accessories is there a single departure of moment. The gentleman will be distinguished by the quality and cut of his suit, not by its pattern, and by his taste in picking what most becomes his stature, color ing and cast of features. The "bound- er," on the other hand, will go ito ex- tremes, wear his jacket too loose and his trousers too wide, will have straw hat of rodigious breadth, topped with a multi -colored band, will put on an OK blood or heliotrope shirt, a belt of some queer grained leather, a turn-down col lar with deep, piratical points, a cravat too narrow or too wide, and wear ab- surdly long loces in his low-cut boots. This type of badly dressed man is found among youths whose notions of the mode are gained from furtive glances at shop windows or the study of simpering fashion plates on display at the cheap tailors'. I look for a sea- son of comfort and sightliness in mems dress, and these are the twin attributes that clothes always possss. They must fit and feel and look goOd.-Haber- f dasher.

THE COTTON TIE EE.

When those ants which are on their
 way to this country from Guatemala to
 eat the cotton boll weevil get here per
 haps they will eat so much and so we'll that all excitement over the cotton sit
 uation will cease. But meanwhile it
 may be well enough to pay little at
 tention to the talk about the Mexican cotton tree, which will average about
 twelve pounds of cotton year, and
 which insect pests do not touch. The expense of planting the tree is said to
 be no greater than that of planting
 corn, and one planting will last from
 twenty-five to thirty years. A short
 time ago tree planted in Mexico dur
 ing the time of Maximilian was cut
 down because it was in the way, but it
 was in good condition and had never been attacked by insects or failed in production. Another good feature is that it will withstand drought for eight months in the year. It occupies about the same space as the maguey, and they |are frequently cultivated together. The yield under favorable conditions is as lhigh as twenty-five pounds to the tree, but half that amount is regarded as a flair estimate. If cultivated, irrigated 
 land planted in soil suitable to it the Itrees begin bearing in from nine to ten months, but never later than within a lyear from planting.
 Perhaps cotton might as well be pick ed off of trees as off of bushes. And Iyet the numerous cotton-picking ma chimes which have been made or are in the works wouldn't be useful in tree Ipicking.

RICH mEN REPORT.

More and more does it appear that there is nothing new under the sun. It has been the fashion to say and think that the rich men of the United States are the richest men the world ever saw. But a writer in the Menorah, a Jewish magazine, has delved into the history of the Talmud, and is satisfied that long before the Christian era there were men of far greater accumulations Iof wealth than those of Rockefeller. Joseph, while prime minister of Pha- raoh, got possession of nearly all the Egyptian rulers coin, and buried the treasure in three places. Korah dis covered one of these deposits and thereby came into possession of for tune estimated at three billions of dol
 lars. According to the Menorah writ |er's figures, Solomons wealth is es- timated at more than $500, ,C00,000, while in Jerusalem in Roman times there
 were three Jews who were able to meet
 an expenditure of $1OO,OOO,oOo a year for twenty-one years. One of them gave his daughter a dowry of s425,OoO,oooo. By and by somebody will discover that there have been countries in which
 the ''per capita" was more than $32.09, and then the poor of this country, as well as the rich, will have to take back seats.

ORIGIN OF THE MUTE.

Do you know that the color of a huff once betokened the rank of the wearer?" said furrier the other day, as he stroked a beautiful sealskin huff. "In the days of Charles TX. no
 lady could have worn this fur. for
 black was decreed by the king to be the badge of the common people, and the court followers were restricted to the colors.
 ''Muffs have gone through more styles than it would seem possible to invent
 for such simple article of convenience. lit has been long and narrow, like a sheaf, and again large and round.
 At the beginning of last century the test of size was to try the huff in a flour barrel. If it went in without much trouble then that huff was too small to be really fashionable. At the present day almost anything is proper, but those enormous cylinders would |certainly draw much attention. One of the most curious styles was that of
 Louis XIV, called the 'chiens mau- chons,' because they were made to con- vey little dogs in.
 ''The huff when first introduced was the exclusive property of the nobility, land originated in Venice. These muffs were very small, and consisted of a Isingle piece of velvet, brocade or silk, lined with fur, and the openings fas- tened with rich jewels. Such arrange lments came in during the early part of the seventeenth century, but in the previous century the ladies frequently carried piece of rich fur, which they fused either as huff or neckpiece.
 "The huff reached it's highest point in the reign of Louis XIV, when the productions were exquisite. Then fashion declared for a cloth huff in- Istead of fur, and the furriers made a great uproar. They petitioned the pope to excommunicafe the wearer of a
 cloth huff. but to no purpose. Finally some ingenious merchant bribed the
 headsman to carry cloth huff on exc,
 cution day. The women shrank from
 such association, and the fur won the
 day. We now associate the huff only
 with cold weather. but in the old days lit was regular part of woman's dress and was carried in all weathers. As late as 1880 huff and straw bonnet were not deemed incongruous. -

this type belonged William c. Howells
 (father of W. D. Howells) of the old Hamilton IntelIigencer and the Ashta- bula Sentinel, Coates Kinney (author of Rain on the Roof'') of the Xenia
 Torchlight. William D. Bascom of the old Mount Vernon Republican, and scores of others in Ohio, Indiana and H. linois.
 Like Howells and Hopley, most of these editors of the growing towns of the west of forty and fifty years ago were men of strong character, clinging as tenaciously to their prerogatives as editors as to their chosen candidates for county or state or national offices. Because Of their character and their personal Independence and probity they were much trusted by men like Lin Icoln, Chase. Corwin and Sherman.
 In this particular John Hopley was true to the traditions of the type. Probably no man in Ohio held more confidential rotations with Salmon P. Chase than MT. Hopley. In later times
 he was as close to John Sherman and other Ohio leaders. He made his pa- per, the Bucyrus Journal, as great power in politics as many of the larger city dailies, and was as often consulted lin the planning of campaigns as any editorin the state.
 Some of the old-style editors went from the country newspaper to larger fields of journalism, but here again Hopley was true to the traditions of the type and remained to the last with the newspaper that developed with the growth of the community, attached to lit as home institution.
 Such a newspaper in the years of the civil war, in the twenty years that pre- ceded the war. and in the twenty years that followed the war, was great power. John Hopley was the oldest survivor of the men who made such newspapers Chicago Inter-Ocean.

In letter to the president of the To- ronto University Graduates association Dr. Goldwin Smith says: For my part, l do not covet an unlimited increase in, the number of students. The more in- tellectual callings may become over- stocked, and you may then have ambi- ton and sensibility without bread. At the same time. the list of university studies has been made practical, per- haps to the full extent possible without compromising the special function of a university as place of the higher knowledge and training. For excep- tional ability iowly born way to rise should, in the interest of society, al- ways be made. All honest callings are equally necessary to the community, are equally respectable, and when pur- sued with industry and cheered by do- nestic affection, may be equally happy. In world vexed with political strife and wars or rumors of wars, you are laying the foundation stone of hall of peaceful progress. In a world much given over to the pursuit of gain, you are paying homage to the culture which belongs to the higher nature of man.
