THE LOVING DEAD.

We hold our sacred dead aoof,
We put them by like treasures old,
No more for them or hearth or roof,
But narrow dwellings lone and cold.
The dear, warm hearts that fell asleep!
Why shun them in our secret thought?
Why even at a distance keep,
AS if some change were in them wrought?
They cease not from their constant love.
They not strange and far away;
Their presences about move
Closer than presences Of clay.
How it must grieve them, when they come
Heart-close. and find no welcome there!
Or whisper love- and find dumb,
Forgetful, hedged with servile care!
Oh, let us hold our dear ones close
Closer and closer, when they move
Beyond the veil! For no one knows
The preciousness Of human love!
ian Advocate

the costume as whole appear worn.
On the other hand, by saving the
street costume for outdoor wear ex-
clusively, being careful to brush it, air
it and to keep both the coat and skirt
on their own special hangers, there
are nine chances out of ten that the
costume will not only keep it's original
good looks straight to the end of the
season, but will be in fair condition to
put on next year.-Woman's Home

UNCLE SANS YELLOW PERIL,

We of New England have been ac-
customcd to think Of the yellow peril
as something far Oft and OF direct in
tercst chiefly to those parts Of the old
world which might be swallowed up
in yellow flood. We are brought to
sudden appreciation of the fact that
Americans have a direct concern in this
matter through the adoption by the
California Legislature of concurrent
resolution opposing the further unre-
stricted immigration of Japanese.
There may be a disposition in some
quarters to smile at this apprehen sion
on the part of the lawmakers OF the
from Honolulu Japanese newspapers
are advertising that the steamer Cen
tennial will leave that port on March
u and the steamer Olympia, on April
is, To take Japanese laborcrs 10 the
Pacific coast of the United states. It
is also announced that monthly trips
VIII be made between Honolulu and
the United states. The Hawaiian
Shimpo says that agents are at work
on plantations trying to induce Japan
csc laborcrs to leave. and the paper
hints at ugly disturbances when the
Japanese laborers begin to arrive al
San Francisco and Seattle.
That the Japanese problem is not to
be lightly regarded in this country IL
evident from considerable OF the
figures connected with the immigra,
tion of that race to California. Ir

only eighty-siX laps In the Golden
State, whereas since that time not lesi

London. March 15.--Tho Daily Mail
declares that tho French government
has given Parisiau banking houses
clearly to understand that they must

for peace.
This revolt of tho French bankers is
considered by the London newspapers
as the most hopeful and important
news of the day, promising an carly
conclusion of peace between Russia
and Japan. Apparently ne proposed
but only "postponed." This, however.
is regarded here as beng tantamount
to a refusal and is Expected to speak

1t is the general belief that by the
death Of NJ. German the late governor
of the Credit Lyonnais Russia lost her
strongest financial friend in France,
and that had he been alive no diff
Guilty would have been experienced.
With the American and English mar
kets closed to her, it Is thought that
Russia can only turn to Germany. who
is not likely to be much more respon-
sivc than France, and the only alter
native would seem to be to make peace.
Reports are current here that Japan
will now demand an indemnity OF be-
tween $500, 100000 and $75o,00o.OO0.

ing in the Y. VI. L. 4. Building.

A meeting was held at the Y. NJ. c, A.

neighbor. his community and his State
He then gave statistics of deaths III the

showed 1l9 deaths from whoopiny cough.
15l from diphtheria, 255 from typhoid fever
and 1.343 from consumption. Ir New

total number Of deaths.
Mr.. Ballard went on TO stay that 90
r,cr cent Of the deaths from tuberculosis
occur between the ages of % and so. and
81 per cent between the ages of 30 and 40.
Ho thea described his own case and
stated his theory as to the means by
which the disease may be cured, for it
is n durable disease.
"The first great means Of curing con-
sumption" nc said. ''is fresh air. People
who live in the out door air are healthy.
r. ople spend about nne-third of their time
in The sleeping room. n they would he
healthy. if they would prevent consump-
ton, let them sleep in rooms with open
doors and windows. where fresh air is
abundant Sunlight and pure air will
kill consumption"
! The speaker then referred to the I'M
portarce Of breathing air through the
Lose. He praised the sanitary and
healthy condition of Japanese life. lie
| made tho statement that from GO to z
per cent. of patients in the first and sec
end stages of consumption are cured by
the fresh air method in tho hospitals
throughout the country. He closed b!
quoting statistics. which showed thai
| consumption r. the most fatal to plas
! tcrers. clerks, masons. glass workers ant
slazers, and the least so to clcrgym6n
lawyers, bankers and brokers

The retirement of George r.. Cortelyou
publican national committee. upon as
Stunning the duties of the position Of post
master general. serves to bring the can
didacy of different republican aspirants
for the nomination for the presidency in
laoS actively to the front. 1t has becn
generally recognized that Harry New Of
Indiana would naturally succeed Cortcl-
you as chairman. and as a matter of
fact he is said to have bocn urged by
Cortclyou for the position as an ideal
man.
Unfortunately or fortunately, as the
case may be. New is n bitter political
enemy of Vice President Fairbanks, who
is leading aspirant for the republican
nomination for the presidency. The sup
porters of Fairbanks have naturally pro-
tested against the selection of New for
the important Office Of chairman of the
would be in position to do the Indiana
mans presidential boom irrcparable in
jury.
1t is held that the Roosevelt admins
traton is not committed to the candidacy
of Mr.. Fairbanks. but on the other hand
it would not do for the Roosevelt repub-
Leans to go to the other extreme and
appoint to the important position of
chairman an avowcd enemy OF the In
diana candidate. for there might be a
reaction in favor Of the latter.
, Under these circumstances the admin
istration has sought to solve the problem
by Offering the position to Charles r.
Rrooker, OF Connecticut. and if he con-
sents to serve, he will be the head OF the
committee until new committee is elect
ed in 1908. Mr.. Brooker is a leading busl-
ness man OF the Nutmeg State. being at

a member of the committee and was in
very close relations with Chairman Cor
telyou. c. N. Bliss and others who shared
in the secrets of the campaign. Mr.
BROKER is understood to be very friendly
with all OF the New England senators
and inasmuch as New England has nc

in a position to ne strictly impartial a.
