Worth the Money.
Atlanta Constitution.

Alidllld OOlStitutiOh'
Happiness reigns supreme through
out Kansas these days. There is moth
ing the matter with the Sunhower
State. The great fight against the
Standard Oil octopus has been won, at
least to the satisfaction of all good
Kansans, and they are the ones to
know.
An investment of $500, 900 for the
construction of an Independent oil re-
fnery might feaze the taxpayers of
other States, but the Kansans rejoice
over it. Fhey figure out that they have
got far more than their moneys worth:
Hearken unto the voice of Representa-
tive Morgan
When the $500, 600 appropriation for
a refinery was made many people, in
Guiding many members of the Legisla-
ture, thought it was like throwing that
amount of money away. Up to date
the State has not drawn a cent of the
appropriation, and this is what has hap
pened.
The reduction in the price of refined
oil is clearing the oil consumers Of the
State ABOUT $500, COG per year.
Fhe State of Kansas has received adj
yertising in Eastern newspapers and
magazines which would be dirt cheap
At 100000.
The luxury Of having twisted the tail
of the Standard Oil and having heard
the octopus howl is worth $500, 900 to
any healthy, well-constructed people
like those who live in Kansas.
The fun Of having started hunt
after the wolf and getting everybody
from the president to the preachers into
the chase is worth 100000 from an
standpoint.
The satisfaction of having shown the
world that Kansas has money to throw
at the birds, and has the nerve to thr9Y
it if necessary, is worth at least $780,
600, which we haven't spent.

Honest Neutrality at Manila.
Hartford Courant.

Hartford Courant.
Our government has decided that the
three Russian cruisers that reached
Manila last Saturday evening cannot
be repaired at that American port.
They may leave port an their present
condition, if Admiral Enquist, who
brought them in, choose to take them
out again, but if they remain for repairs
they must remain until the end OF the
war. The ground of this decision by
our government is that the three ships
the Oleg, Aurora and Jemtchug, all
protected cruisers, and.together Of 10,
900 tonnage-were not injured by the
sea or by storm, but in battle. They
therefore cannot be bettered in a
neutral port and then resume their war
like activities. That would not be
neutrality as between Japan and Russia,
but would be an aid to Russia, inasmuch
as it would restore to Russia three ships
ready for service after they had been
disabled by Japan in battle. These
ships may go out and take their chances
as they are; but if they refit to any de-
gree they must remain where they are
as non-combatants until peace has been
made between Japan and Russia in
those Eastern seas. This is not the
French brand of neutrality, but the
American brand. 1t is a neutrality
that is actually neutral, and we all have
reason to be proud of it.
1t is safe to say that these three bat
tered hulks will remain in shelter at
Manila until the war is over. Admiral
Uriu is already working down the China
coast with one armored cruiser and two
protected cruisers, in search after the
winged birds of the late Russian squad
ron, and he would ask nothing better
than ten minutes brush with these
small disabled Russian ships. To judge
from Admiral Enquist's style of leader
ship in the battle of the Sea of Japan,
the Russian admiral would surrender
his three ships at the first cannot shot
from Admiral Uriu's little squadron:

A CLEAN REFRIGERATOR.
Health Depends on the Thorough
Cleansing of the Ice-Box and
on Keeping It Clean.

One thing should never be neglected,
especially during warm weather, and
that is the refrigerator. 1t should be
looked after each morning. The waste
pipe Of the refrigerator should either
empty into pan or into the open end Of
a properly tapped drain. If it empties
into a pan the pan should be emptied
every day. Clean the refrigerator at
least once a week. Take everything
out of it. Wash shelves and racks with
plenty of hot soap suds and rinse with
clear hot water. Dry shelves and racks
In the open air. Wash every compart-
ment In the same manner, clean all cor
ners with skewer, and run a wire with
q cloth twisted around it down the waste
pipe. Then dry the refrigerator thor
oughly, and, if possible, let 1t air for
awhile before returning the ice or any
food. An absolutely clean refrigerator
means much to the health Of the fam
ily.-American Queen.

CLEANING THE CHAIRS.
They Need Careful busting and Wash
ing and Most Important Of All
Is Vigorous Polishing.

These, In bedrooms, often get to look
untidy If not cared for regularly. Brush
them we'll all over, the cane work es-
pecially, then scrub gently on the un-
der side with a nail brush and sailed
water, az this preserves the color,
leave the chairs to dry in the open
air. When the seat Is thoroughly dry,
rub up the frame like any other furni-
ture. Upholstered chairs, settees, etc.,
should be well brushed and switched,
in the open air if possible, to remove
all dust. A little bread crumb we'll
rubbed over the surface, then carefully
brushed of, restores their freshness
wonderfully. Leather-seated chairs are
improved by being lightly rubbed over
with a piece of flannel dipped into q
cleanser made by shaking together
In a bottle equal parts Of boiled linseed
oil and vinegar. Apply very lightly,
rub we'll into the leather and then pol
ish with soft cloth For morocco
leather, after well busting 1t, use
very little milk, applied with a soft
cloth, and then wipe 1t off carefully.
Egg CLAIR is also excellent for removal
ing all kinds of leather. For this whip
together the white Of one raw, fresh
egg and half gill of water till the egg
is perfectly dissolved and the liquid
quite frothy. Let this stand till the
froth has subsidized, when the clear part
Is poured off, applied to the leather
with a soft paint brush, and then we'll
polished off with a clean old silk hand
kerchief. Worn leather may be fairly
re-colored by mixing or blending some
dye to the right shade, applying this
as dry as possible to the leather, then
leaving it till perfectly dry and well
soaked into the leather, when the sur
face may be polished in the usual way.
American leather may be first we'll
washed with a soaped flannel, rinsed
with a soft cloth dipped In clean wa
ter, dried and finished off with egg
CLAIR, as above. Bags, portmanteaux,
etc., according to their leather, may be
cleaned in these ways.

NEW SPRING HATS.
A Few Hints Picked Up at the Mil
liners Regarding Shapes and
Styles Now in Mode.

The best milliners do not keep large
number of made-up hats. They import
their models and make up enough hats
on model lines to make showing, but
they do not expect to satisfy fastidious
customers. These try on the model hats,
perhaps buy one or two, but order the
rest made after their own ideas. One
may see the straw as well as the trim
mings before the hat is built. Sewing
straw is one of the most important parts
of the milliner's trade.
For the black hat, which is an indis-
pensable part of the wardrobe to many
women, nothing is more satisfactory
than fine horsehair braid. II Is more
substantial than tulle and quite as be-
coming. Transparent black is better
suited to most faces than solid black.
A lovely model in black hat was of this
transparent and pliable braid. 1t was
a big, sweeping shape, the brim turned
up slightly on one side, and dipping
little In the front. It had a drapery of
tulle and lace around the crown, and
large bird of paradise in gray, brown
and pale yellow shades. The bird was
placed almost in the front of the hat,
and its long tail extended to the back,
where 1t dropped over the brim.
Very dashing are the black and
colored tulle hats on braid foundation.
The shapes approximate to the small,
short-back sailor, and the tulle is put
on in huge ruches and rosettes.
A picture hat in black transparent
braid had Tam o'Shanter crown and a
wide, flexible brim, for wonder, not
turned up anywhere, but allowed to
droop around the face like child's hat
The trimming was rose wreaths, blush
pink and white, part Of the wreath ap-
pearing In the underbrim, against the
hair, and the rest encircling the crown.
very large black aigrette trimmed the
front Of the hat.
The new Charlotte Corday is very pic
turesque when we'll developed. It's popu-
larity during the winter has not caused
people to tire Of it. and young and old
women are wearing It. Lace, tulle, en-
Droidery and other light materials are
used, and small flowers and ribbons go
into the decorations.

Island Of Black Cats.

One of the queerest corners of the
earth is Chatham Island, off the coast
of Ecuador. This island lies 600 miles
west of Guayaquil, and the equator
runs directly through it. Captain Rein
man, who was sent to the Galapagos
group of islands to inquire into the
proper grounding of deep sea cable
stopped at Chatham Island, says it
abounds in cats, every one of which is
black. These animals live in the crew
ices of the lava foundation near the
coast and subsist by catching fish and
crabs instead of rats and mice. Other
animals on this island are horses, cattle,
dogs, goats and chickens, all wild.

Furniture Polish.

To polish the piano and remove the
blush COLOR caused by the action of
the damp air, apply drop or two Of
sweet oil, and rub the surface thor
oughly- with a bit of clean, soft
chamois skin. A good furniture polish
liz made of one scant ounce of lin
seed oil, full ounce of turpentine and
three-fouFths ounce Of cider vinegar
Shake until thoroughly mixed. Rub
a little on the furniture and allow it
to stand several minutes, then polish
we'll with a soft, dry cloth. In using
any polish, there must be thorough,
hard rubbing, in order to bring out the
polish. All greasy feeling should be
rubbed into the wood, else the oil will
only be q dust-gatherer, and the last
state win be worse than the first

Richmond Evening Journal.

The newspapers of the country are
devoting columns of space to a dis
cussion of Admiral Togo's wonderful
victory. The burden of it all is that it
is the man that counts, and this is pro-
claimed to the world with an enthusiasm
which indicates belief on the part of
each writer that he has discovered a
brand new truth; one that will set the
whole world agog when it becomes
known.
But why all this hubbub? Of course,
it is the man that counts. This is a
world-old truth.
1t is always the man that counts. He
has counted since the dawn of reason.
He has counted in war and in peace.
He has counted in all of the crises of
history, and he has counted in all of the
long stretches of everyday life when
there was lacking the inspiration of the
battle song and the enthusiasm that is
due to heroic leadership.
Battleships alone cannot. bring vic
tory; nor can the great death-dealing
guns with all of their terrible power.
1t is the man on the battleship, the man
behind the gun, that wins the day. 1t
is the man with trained mind, sound
body and courageous heart that con-
quers.
And it is this kind of man that is
victor in the battles of peace as well as
those of war. 1t is this kind of a man
that never falters, that never gives up.
He fights on faithfully and persistently
for the good of himself and of his fell
lows. He keeps his eyes to the front
and pushes on towards the goal that he
sees in the distance.
Machines of wondrous power and in
ventions of marvellous intricacy have
their uses, but these are always de-
pendent upon the mai.
The forces of nature are harnessed
and made to render service to society,
but it is the man that makes these
things possible.
1t is the man that counts.
