NOW LET The MONEY Fly.

There have been various ways for
spending Uncle Sans money, but the
usual ways have grown trite and tame.
The pension robbery of course goes on
all the time, increasing In volume and
disgraceful wastefulness. The army
and navy grow in size, and In demands
upon the treasury, with as little real
need for increasing them as existed so
years ago. River and harbor bills are
numerous, and The mud which ID
scraped out one year some how gets
back In, to be scraped ont again next
Year, with increasing cost Postofdces
must be built in all the small towns,
and increased mail facilities call for
increased appropriations. The federal
courts augment their expenditures
annually, and so does every branch Of
the government, until our ordinary
expenses, apart from the war in the
Philippines, have become the most
onerous and astonishing burden ever
laid on people. We have. however,
not been willing to stop at such trifling
expenditures as these. We are going
to join the two oceans, we are going
to cut canal through the Istmus Of
Panama, and afford an opportunity to
get rid of our money in fash ION that
Is not trite, but extremely new and
attractive, and altogether to our
tastes-our highly educated tastes.
We have dropped forty millions in this
ditch to get the French out of it. We
have paid ten millions to Panama for
the right to move around over her ter.
ritory as we please, and this got us
what we term the Zone. We have not
really begun yet. Only fifty millions
80 far Is light and easy. That is simply
pin money, vest pocket change, wait
till we really begin and Roosevelt's
expression 'let the dirt fly" will be
modified into letting the money fly like
dirt. The newly rich, the plutocratic
aristocracy, who control affairs in
America at present, do Lot do things
in small way, they hunt for those
things that paralyze by their immen.
sity, they dazzle the world with the
lavishness of their expenditures. The
Canal is one of the dazzling undertak.
ings. 1t Is great advertisement. 1t
is intended as drawer of custom. It
will swallow our millions in a new
way, but what care we, we cannot get
poor or become bankrupt with their
party in power. Then let us eat, drink
and be merry.

THE FIRST GUN OF THE CAMPAIGN.

The employers Liability Bil'' has
Just thrown some of our Virginia pol
iticians into a cold sweat. News has
come from somewhere that Senator
Martin and Lieutenant Governor
Willard are accused by the Labor
leaders with having thought them
very hard" when they sought to have
the Virginia Legislature pass the above
named bill.
This brought these two gentlemen to
their feet. Mr.. Martin has averred
that be was ALWAYS in favor OF the
bill, but not being In the Legislature
where the bill was pending had nc
chance to vote on 1t.
Mr.. Willard being a member OF the
Senate at the time says be did vote
against the bill, not because he waf
opposed to its principles. for he really
always favored them, but because the
bill did not include enough emploreef
In it's provisions.
To this the labor leaders reply that
Mr.. Willard, if he had been really IL
favor of the bill, should have accepted
it and relieved all he could thereby
and then afterward have amended II
or attempted to amend it by the inser
ton of others, and not attempted tt
destroy the hope of those who were
named In the bill. This they think
would have shown better faith. and
broader philanthropy. There wal
nothing to wed him so strongly to thu
others that he might not have gotter
a foothold by. aiding the bill and ther
have brought his alleged; friends il
thereafter.
The reason for so much explanation
on this subject grows out of the fac
that Senator Martin Is q candidate t.
succeed himself in the Senate, and MI
Willard is candidate for Governor
Senator Martin, we can but think
has fallen under the ban.of the labo
leaders, more because be has long beel
a railroad attorney, than. because
anything he ever did against their bill
MIR. Willard did vote against the bill
for reasons best known to himself.

VIII a Chinese Cook.

The Chinese cook stuck the end of an
livery chopstick into a small brown bis
suit.
Taste. SIR he said.
The biscuit was warm, crisp. rich; it
was light, well sailed. nutr;tious-a bis
cult, in word, of a peculiar excellence
This biscuit, sir. is made of the -four
of lentils,'' said the Chinaman. You
know lentils? little green pellets
slightly fiattened like split peas? Len
ills, sir. are considered the most nutri-
t;cus of all the foods of the earth This
one ientil biscuit, sir. is equal in nour-
isiling power to q pound and a half of
roast beef
He took from tin little cake.
Again TASTE he said.
The little cake was very rich and
good.
1T is made, sir. of the -four. of al
nsonds, said the cook Fresh. sweet
almonds, ground into white powder
between two millstones. Such a -four is
q finer thing than your -four OF wheat,
eh?"
Then he lifted great lid and revealed
some thirty or forty compartments. one
filled with a pink flour. another with a
yellow one, a third with a brown one,
a fourth with a white fifth with a
pale green, a sixth with a blue, and
50 on.
'.All these are Chinese fours.' he said.
In China. sir, we make over fifty
kinds of fours. We make flour out of
rice, out of peanuts, out of beans. out
of potatoes, out of sweet potatoes, out
OF peas, out of cocoanuts, out of mill
let, out of pulse. out of oats. out of
hananas-the fact is. sir, we make fiours
ir China out of everything but wheat.
For in China, sir, we eat no bread, and,
therefore, the coarse, dry, tasteless flour
Of wheat is useless to us

The Headache Hablf.

Half the people in Washington" said
the postgraduate medical student,
have the Sunday morning headache
habit. A good many of them belong to
the perfectly respectable element of the
community. too. They don't stay out
late on Saturday night, neither do they
indulge in a quiet little spree in the
privacy of their own rooms. They sim
ply have the headache habit Most peo-
pie who have it attribute their Sabbath
cal indisposition 10 late rising and the
consequent postponement Of their morn
Ing cup of coffee beyond the usual hour
In some cases that may be the cause
but as a rule the headache is a habit
1T Is q habit that is very easily con-
tracted. One Sunday the victim really
does get up with an accidental head
ache. The following Saturday night
when he goes to bed he wonders if he
will have 1t next day. The result of
thinking much about it is another
headache. If he has it on the third
and fourth morning the habit is we'll es-
tablished. and unless the sufferer makes
pretty strong drafts on his will power
he is likely to be in for Sunday head
aches for the rest of his life"

Fzogged ShH7 Waisf SuH.

There's a narrow chasm between the
coat suit and shirt waist suit which it
is often desirable to bridge
The very thing for this purpose is a
shirt waist suit in handsome mohair. 1t
is exactly the thing for coming into
town on any save the hottest of morn
ings, and it would be desirable for short
journeys, too. Indeed, one could find
any number of occasions when such a
simple little rig would be admirable
1t is all in the triple box-plaited eff
feet. Such a plat dominates the skirt,
both back and front.
Likewise the waist.
Ard at the front this waist is fasten-
ed by means of frogs. done in braid
This takes off the undress look of a
shirt waist and transforms an otherwise
ordinary shirt waist suit into quite an
other class. 1t Is more like a blouse
coat suit Yet it is not robbed of the
valuable shirt waist spit quality TO an
appreciable degree
