What She Knows.

Of course she knows she's beautiful.
 You're fooled if you suppose She's not aware of all her special graces. She's posted on her hair, her eyes, her
 teeth, her lips. her nose; Her mirror she occasionally faces. To state what's known already IS 10 De
 an awful bore, In cases, and you naturally fear It V i'll tire her If you tell her what She often heard before, But tell her just the same-she likes to hear :t. The poetry of motion she. Of course, ex-
 empliies. Her movements have a graceful un- dulation; Her attitudes are charming-they could
 not be otherwise; Her form would have sCulptOr'S ap- probation. But never think. because she may be conscious of the fact, That wcarisome at any time she'll find Your Silence on the subject will not demonstrate your tact; Just tell her that she's graceful-she won't mind it. A smile from her may set up palpitation of your heart, glance may cause you misery or rapture; Her touch to all your being sweet thrill may straight impart; Her hand may be a prize you long to capture. She knows with thorough knowledge how effective is her smile, She understands how potent are her glanceS. Your dead-in-love condition she's been on to all the while, But tell her just the same and take your chances.

A RIVAL TO THE PANAMA ROUTE.
 It seems that Mexico's rival to the
 Fanama Railroad route has already
 won notable advantage in business
 pending the completion of the canal.
 This is the Tehuantepec National
 Railroad. which has been built across the isthmus of that name and which
 VIII be ready for business in about A year. when the harbors at either end nave been finished. This new isthmus route was referred to in the recent re- port of the American governments Fahama Railroad Commissioner, J. L. Bristow. The Hawaiian
 steamship Company has just conclud- eo a contract with the Tekuantepec
 Hailroad Company for the transporta- tlon n or all its business between the Facihe and Atlantic ports-the same to last until the Panama Canal has Oeen opened to traffic. This means iiluch' not only to the United States governments Panama railroad. hut southern Pacific Railroad. At present the American-Hawaiian Companv
 which transports large amounts of su- gar each year from the islands to the states, is obliged to land the same at oan francisco, where it is put upon cars, taken to Galveston and there re- ,oaaed upon ships again for north At iantlc ports. This expensive route is IoiioWed apparently because the South erh Pacifis through the Pacific Mail steamship Company and the old ownership of the Panama Railroad. has been able to control the Panama route ana compel the diversion of traffic to the transcontinental railroad route. If me United States government. instant y on coming into possession of the Fanama Railroad, had shaken off tbe exclusive policy in favor of the Pacific Mall and Southern Pacific and offered eqal terms to all shipping interests touching at the isthmus, possibly tbe
 hawaiian Company would not have 'ilaqe this contract with the Mexican !oote, put, instead would have turned us sugar-laden ships from San Fran CISCO and the Southern Pacific, derect- ly to Panama.-Springfield Republican

Der of chinamen and revived the old ignorant animosity against the foreign devils. He still thinks that morphia got into the flour accidentally, and that 'smugglers are responsible. At my re- quest" he writes, the taOtai of Annoy has instructed all magistrates within his district to issue proclamations ex- plaining the circumstances under which the flour was poisoned and assuring the people that there is no danger in the use of the foreign product. I have reason to believe that the taotai of Changchau, where the cut into the trade has been exceptionally severe. will follow the same policy. It is probable that with these and similar assurances the people in time will again take to the use of flour, but recovery will not be rapid nor is it at all certain that it will come in some places for a long time. Ameri can trade particularly is damaged, be- cause American flour controls the situ- ation in this part of China. The Chi nese officials concerned have without exception been anxious to rectify the trouble and have shown their friendliness to American interests in many ways

4 DUTCH PROTEST,

The Dutch in the Transvaal are mt entirely pleased yet They are protest ing vigorously against the right of the soldiers of the British garrison to vote at the elections, A joint deputation of the Het Volk and of the Responsible Government Association waited unon Lord selborne the other day and ask ed him to exclude the soldiers from the polls. General Shuts argued that they were present for purely military pur- pose, were not taxpayers, and had no interest in parliamentary government A MT. Solomon asked whether the mill itary could be regarded as the people of the colony? They were pot citizens; they paid no taxes; they were not there of their own free will; their residence was only temporary and for specific purpose, If they were allowed to vote. they ought, he declared, to have full privileges and be able to attend pub- lic meetings. He asked Lord Selborne to urge the home government to alter the Constitution. Lord Selborne, in his reply, objected strongly to the term hired foreigners, which had been applied to the soldiery. The word hired" he said, was meaningless. !" but he could not pass over the word Foreigners" He possessed some i'm agination himself and could understand that the Dutch might think that such was the position of the English in the country, but they could not expect him ito agree with them. They must clear ly understand that no white British subject was foreigner in that colony. The Executive could only carry out the Constitution in the form in which it found it.

THE MANICURE GIRL
Many Ways.


 Fhop-Man CuStcemra Make Lov iH
 Many Ways.
 Do my customers make love to me-" repeated the pompadour headed manicure girl in the barber shop Well and here a coquettish smile illuminated her cherublc countenance. She gave a backward toss to her pretty head to fling stray strands of the pom padour out of her eyes, and went on: Really. now, ought not to give them away for they're awfully good to me, and here she fairly bristled with the sense of past attentions. Not even a matinee idol could help letting some of it out, and with apparent reluctance she coyly admitted. "But-yes they dO."
 The murder was out and the little manicure appeared so relieved that she burst into 8 contagious laugh. Love making didn't weigh seriously on her mind. It was all a good joke and as necessary a part of the business of life as doing her hair with the Marcel wave.
 Well I'll tell you just how it is. v She was simply bursting to tell all about it and with naive display of confidence she jumped into the middle of her tale. It was like the scent of battle to the war horse,
 You know most men think they are privileged to make love to a manicure, just as they do to their typewrwriter, but it doesn't really amount to any thing really it doesn't-at least not to me.
 T simply take it all as a good joke and refuse to look at it seriously; and this, as you may imagine, is pretty dis concerting to conceited man and acts like a wet blanket. It's fun to see them writhe under it when they are making such desperate efforts to make an im- pression,' and the girl laughed gaily much as a mischievous boy might laugh.
 But there are so many different types of men," continued this font of wisdom, you can't always tell just what attitude they will take. At least

HARM IN HASHTNGTON.

It is warm in the government build ings in Washington anyway at this season, but an addition to the warmth has been made by the announcement that the Keep Commission is to make an investigation into the general ques- ton. of salaries paid to Federal em- ployes at the national capital. There will be a regarding of clerks as a re- suit of this inquiry. which promises to bring out some very interesting his tory which up to this time has been kept under cover.
 The Keep commission was appointed by President Roosevelt just before he left for Oyster Bay. One of the mat ters in which President Roosevelt is particularly interested is the inc quality of salaries paid to government clerks, He has especially charged MT. Keep to investigate this question. The latter is now preparing a circular let ter which vii soon be sent to the head of each executive department. It will request information regarding the method of fixing salaries and ordering promotions. Questions will be asked which may prove embarrassing to some officials. For instance, the con- mission will want to know why certain clerks are paid $1,SOO and $2,OOO a year while other clerks, engaged in the same identical work, are paid only $72O and $S4O year.
 If the commission cares to probe these matters to the bottom it will doubtless unearth some very interest !rg stories about the use of pull bv political favorites who occupy easy 'berths in the government service.

DEATH AND HOUNDS.
many ways.

There is no war in this country, but the railroads continue to kill and maim their employees, and the death list continues to be appalling, although there is a slight decrease noticeable in the last bulletin issued by the in terstate commerce commission In the first three months of this year twenty-eight passengers and 2O4 em- ployes were killed, and 1851 passengers and 2,O62 employees were injured in railroad accidents. This terrible loss of life has been the subject of much agitation, and at least two Presidents have recommended legislation by con- gress to compel the railroads to equip freight and passenger cars alike with the most approved couplings. and to place about this dangerous calling more safeguards than now attend it.
 Human life seems to be about the cheapest thing there is.

Notwithstanding the fact that the famous coin known as the widows mite, and also the coin said to be one of those Judas received as the price of his betrayal of his Master, are said to be in New York, another so-called widow's mite has been discovered, this time in wisconsin. The coin, discov- cred near Berlin, Wisconsin, on the Aliard farm, was found in metal box 4n the center of a cement-like sub stance. The care with which it was preserved and it's evident antiquity have led to the conjecture that Mar duette or some of his missionaries, who used to go up and down the Fox River, either lost the coin or gave 1t to the Indians. It was found in 8 ploughed dield.

M. Camille Flammarion has decided to submit to the French Chamber of Deputies, for adoption by the State, a new calendar. He makes the year be- gin with March 21, the advent of spring; month of thirty-one days Following every two months of thirty days each. The year would thus con- sist of Se4 days, with a special feast day annually, while a leap year would have two such feast days. These ex- Ara days would be known by special names, and not by the recognized names of the days of the week. The advantage of this arrangement, he says, would be that the same dates would always fall on the same week days, so that the calendar would re- main stationary every year.
