USE OF ODD MOMENTS,
Practical Woman Explains How She
Has Time for Everything.

Il don't know how you manage It,"
said one woman to another, you al.
ways seem to know what is going on
in the world, and to be able to read
the newest books, and to keep up
your music, while ! never have time
for anything but my children and my
housekeeping"
The other woman smiled. 81 can't
see why you don't have time" she
replied, your family is smaller than
mine and we both have housemaid
and cook. Suppose we talk 1t over" j"
1t turned out In the discussion that
ensued that one woman got her fam
lily of young people up bright and
early. so that at breakfast time the
conversation could be about topics OF
worldwide interest, and then after
wards when the family had dispersed
until lunch, and the mornings work
was done, she could take quiet hour
and read or practice. In fact, as re-
CARDS her reading, she was never
without book or magazine at hand
ready to be picked up If even for a
moment, during the day.
In the evening, after the last meal
OF the day she gathered together her
young people and read the most i'm
portant news and this was followed
by an informal discussion. This took
but a short time and the family thus
kept in touch with the doings Of the
great world. This woman realized
truth that does not come to every
one, namely, that good newspaper
Is the connectlng-rod between provln-

that, even IL one live in small place,

But a dozen books from a library

When the wise woman neard that
remark she smiled What did you

would cover the books buy for six

- HE world has withstood the financial strain of a war which
cost the combatant nations two billion dollars. 1t has
wlthstood that strain o easily that one is led to inquire
how it has been possible. 1 believe the answer should be
looked for in a quarter to which our academic friends
have been giving some attention, but which has not as yet come to ex-
cite great interest among practical fnanciers.
In every day Of this year 1905, work days and feast days, there
will be drawn from the ground A MILLION DOLLARS OF NEW
GOLD. We may reasonably look forward in the near future to an
annual average output of $4o0,oOO,OOO of new gold for at least sew
eml years.
these hgures, perhaps, suggest possibility of a disturbance Of val
us. While there undoubtedly will be a tendency to advance prices as
a result Of this influx of gold into the bank reserves of the world, 1 do
not believe it will become a SERIOUS menace. What do believe is
that there will follow just what followed in two former periods of the
worlds history when there was an extraordinary production Of gold.
One period followed the discovery of America when the treasures of
Mexico and Peru were exploited. The other followed the discovery of
gold in California and Australia. In each case a mighty impulse was
given to the EXPLOITATION OF VIRGIN FIELDS of develop
ment. 1t seems to me that one of the direct and important effects of
this great production of gold will be to give an impulse to the indus
trial exploitation of South America, Africa, Asia and eastern Europe.
In the very fullness of the prosperity that we have there might be
a pitfall for us in the currency quarter. A STRAIN IS ON OUR
CURRENCY SYSTEM. With our usual good luck we may avoid
disaster, but it is the sort of time, nevertheless, when we ought clearly
to see that we have a system which NIGHT endanger our banking
position and retard most seriously our commercial development. We
know W e threatened by great social disorders. We know there is
a disregard of law in labor unions and in corporation Offices alike
which is threatening to our welfare. We can at the moment clearly
see that however prosperous conditions may appear this prosperity
might receive a severe check SHOULD A SPECULATIVE FEVER
BEGIN TO RAGE.
SHOULD A STOCK MARKET SPECULATION START FROM THE
PRESENT HIGH LEVEL OF PRICES IN THE FACE OF THE Ex.
AND BUSINESS ALIKE ARE MAKING THE RESULT MIGHT EASILY

DEGRADATION Is
Worse Than Strikes

BY SAMUEL COMPERs. President Amicsnf Federation Of Labor
DO not advocate strikes. They should be avcrted If POS
SIBLE, but there is one thing worse than strikes, and that
is degradation. If a strike is absolutely necessary for retain
ing self respect, for gaining ends that are undeniably right,
if all other means are blocked, THEN STRIKE. When tho time
is absolutely right for a strike and there is IL 10 strike, the manufac-
turer will strike instead with an ultimatum Of longer hours and
shorter pay.
Can you point out to me a single great tribune Of the state or
nation who has been upon the bench for ten years " more unless
he was in close connection with the trusts? Men who study law are
largely engaged in the study Of corporate interests. THEY ARE
ABSORBED IN THEM, and when they rise they arr sought after,
petted, paid and bought. Not long ago the government started Il
warfare against a great combination, and it found that the leading
lawyers of the nation had been either engaged by the defendant or
tied up in other interests to such an extent that they could not act.
Unions are always rated according to the dullest AND ROUGH
EST in the ranks.
BUT THERE Is NO CALLING, WON'T EXCEPT ANYTHING
THAT CALLS FOR MORE INTELLIGENCE, MORE SELF SACRIFICE.
THAN THE TRUE SPIRIT OF UNloN,sM.

RUMORS WITHOUT REAL NEWS.
Correspondents Guess at Many Things
Beyond Their Vision.

London, April 18. = There is as yet
no news of a great naval battle in the
Far East, or of the whereabouts of the
rival fleets. The Hongkong cores
pondent of the Daily Mail sends a ru-
NOR of a small engagement, but there
is no confirmation of this report.
Details regarding the Russian ships
in Kanrah bay, Cochin China, are too
meagre to be instructive. According
to the Daily Nails Singapore cores
pondent, the North German Lloyd
steamer Prinz Heinrich saw several
battleships and six cruisers in the bay,
but the dispatches to other newspapers
are not so precise. The Daily Tele-
graphs Singapore correspondent, like
the Associated Press, merely reports
eighteen vessels" and adds that the
captain of the Prinz Heinrich states
that possibly more warships were in
side the harbor, but that they were in
visible from the ofing.
The presence of the Russian SQUAD
ron off the AMMAN coast is raising keen
interest here, in view OF the possibil-
ity of their infringing Chinese neutral
ity and of the likelihood of Rojestven-
sky having had to split his squadron.
The Morning Posts correspondent at
Shanghai telegraphs that China has in
structed the governor of the southern
provinces to maintain strict neutrality
in view of the possibility of Russian
ships sheltering there.

WHEELS BLOCKED IN ITALY.
Railway Strike May Extend. to Other
Forms OF Industry.

Rome, April 1s.-Every railway line
throughout Italy is tied up this morn
ing as a result of the strike among the
employees, who are dissatisfied with
wages and hours of labor. The strike
is expected to spread to all of the large
industries in the several cities, and be-
fore it is ended bloodshed is likely to
result.
The strike started in Naples, and a
few minutes afterward the heads of
labor unions wired to every subordinate
organization telling them to notify their
members to stop work at midnight.
The order was literally obeyed and not
a wheel is turning this morning, al
though the officials of the roads allege
they will have them in operation be-
fore the end Of the day.
All the station clerks and Office en-
ployes have been ordered to report to
the station masters to aid in moving
trains.

ROMANOFFS IN THEIR COFFlNS.
Cartoon in Prominent Russian Paper
Sends Price to Premium,

St. Petersburg, April 17.-Quite a
sensation was caused this morning by
the appearance in the Neva, the most
widely circulated illustrated weekly in
Russia, of a half-tone picture represent
ing the imperial family, including the
empress, holding the heir to the throne,
the background of the picture showing,
in shadowy outlines, the emperor,
Grand Duke Sergius,> Grand Duke
Alexis, the dowager empress, the heir
to the throne and practically all the
members of the Romanof family lying
dead in their coffins. The work is done
SO skillfully that the shadows in the
drapery behind the imperial family are
discernible with great difficulty. The
publishers disclaim any previous know
ledge of the shadowy figures. The cul-
prits, who were students employed on
the paper, have not yet been located.
Copies of this edition of the Neva are
selling at big premium.
The Siova has received its first warn
ing for the publication of articles en-
titled "The Bureaucracy" and "The
War and Reform" in which the paper
severely arraigned the bureaucracy, the
general staff and the war Office for in
competency.
