let 1t be understood once for all that
no just and orderly government of
this continent has anything to fear
from us. There are certain of the re-
publics south of us which have al
ready reached such a point of stabil-
ity, order, and prosperity that they
are themselves, although as yet hard
ly consciously, among the guarant-
ors OF this doctrine. No stable and
growing American republic wishes to
see some great non-American military
powers acquire territory in its neigh
borhood. 1t is the interest of all of
us on this continent that no such
event should occur, and in addition
to our own republic there are now
already republics in the regions
south of us which have reached a
point of prosperity and power that en-
ables them to be considerable factors
in maintaining this doctrine which
is so much to the advantage of all of
us. Ii must be understood that under
no circumstances win the United
States use the Monroe Doctrine as a
CLOAK for territorial aggression.
Should any of our neighbors, no mat
ter how turbulent, how disregardful
of our rights, finally get into such a
position that the utmost limits of our
forbearance are reached, all the peo-
pie south of us may rest assured that
no action will ever be taken save
what is absolutely demanded by our
self-respect; that this action will not
take the form of territorial aggrandize
ment on our part, and that it will
only be taken at all with the most ex
treme reluctance and not without
having exhausted every effort to
avert 1t.
! AS to the second point, if repub.
lie to the south of us commits a tort
against a foreign nation, such, for in
/ stance, as wrongful action against the
persons of citizens of that nation
then the Monroe Doctrine does not
| force us TO interfere to prevent pun
lshment OF the tort, save to see that
the punishment does not directly oil
indirectly assume the form of territor
lal occupation of the offending coun
try. The case is more difficult when
the trouble comes from the failure to
meet contractual obligations. Our
own government has always refused
tions on behalf of it's citizens by the
appeal to arms. 1t is much to be
wished that all foreign governments
would take the same view. But at
present this country would certainly
/ not be willing to go to war to prevent
a foreign government from collecting
just debt or to back up some one of
our sister republics in refusal 20 pay
just debts: and the alternative may
in any case prove to be that we shall
ourselves undertake to bring about
some arrangement by which so much
as is possible of the just obligations
shall be paid Personally should al
ways prefer to see this country step
in and put through such an arrange
ment rather than let any foreign
country undertake It.
l do not want TO see any foreign
power take possession permanently of
an American republic in order to en-
force its obligations, and the alterna-
tive may at any time be that we shall
be forced to do so ourselves.

Japanese Treaties.

What trade relations or agreement
did England have with Japan prior
TO Perry's commercial treaty of 1864?
asks writer to the Tribune Farmer
None. After the expulsion of the
foreigners Japan remained shut out
from the rest Of the world till in 1853
she was rudely aroused from her
dream, and Commodore Perry arrived
with four ships of war off Uraga and
demanded on behalf of the United
States friendship and intercourse with
Japan. Rightly OF wrongly, they be.
lieved that the Americans meant to
fight them if treaty were not con-
Guided. After much discussion they
promised an answer later on and
Perry consented to go away and come
again next year. Perry duly returned
as arranged, and finally extorted a
treaty which opened four ports at
which American vessels might be sup.
piled with coal and water and have
some trading facilities. During the
next four years fresh treaties were
concluded with the United States. also
with Great Britain and France, fol-
lowed later by conventions with other
countries.

etrating, effulgent light
Everybody admits that these are not
the characteristics of the candle or
kerosene lamp, Which, formerly, were
the only feasible means Of producing
light for domestic use in the rural dis
tricts.
For generations there was a crying
need, yearning for something better,
which was not satisfied A few years
ago deliverance came in the shape Of
the chemical compound, Calcium Car
bide, from which, by the simple appli-
cation of water, the gas sAeetylene is
derived. Acetylene meets all the re-
quiremehts fully and admirably and is
being generally used
Common lime and carbon in the form
of coke or coal are the raw materials
which, fused in an intensely heated
furnace, make Calcium Carbide, and
there is no difficulty in obtaining il in
any part of the country.
The machine into which the Calcium
Carbide is fed and from which the
Acetylene is distributed through the
building to be lighted, is but little larg-
er than a thirty gallon milk can, and
of the same general form. 1t is easily
and cheaply installed, either in the eel
lar or in an outbuildng.
The light from burning Acctylene is
exquisite, and lighting experts agree
that 1t surpasses all other known illu-
minants. 1t does not faint the air nor
strain the eyes. and is not objection
able IN any respect Every up-to-date
rural residence should be equipped

MARIA MITCRELL'S HOME.

The old house in Nantucket where
Maria Mitchell was born is probably
the only house on this continent which
is preserved on account OF being the
birthplace of woman.
The Maria Mitchell Association was
formed three years ago, has purchased
the house, installed an admirable eura-
tor in it, and is making collection
there of objects which belonged to
Miss Mitchell, of the fora and fauna
of Nantucket, and of books of science.
Maria Mitchell was born in 1873.
The house where the family lived on
Vestal street, Nantucket, wassa square
one, with q huge central chimney.
There was.a small, lean-to kitchen, and
a back yard Of fair size, as well as a
front yard, with beds of 0Id-fashioned
flowers.
MIR. Mitchell was an enthusiastic as
tronOmeP, and his children were early
taught to count seconds for him by the
thermometer, and &c consider the study
of the heavens the most interesting

At the time Of the eclipse Of the sun
In 1881 the window was taken out OF
the little parlof, the telescope mounted
in front of it, and with the twelve
year-old Maria counting the seconds,
Mr.. Mitchell observed the eclipse.

seconds again. while her class Of eager

On the evening Of October 1, 1S47,
Maria slipped away from guests in the
parlor of the old house and ran up to

she came hurrying down to tell her
father that she thought she had dis
covered a comet. With the slow com

been the first eye to see IT; but so it
proved. The Kingeof Denmark, six
teen years before, had offered gold
medal to the first disc0verer of tele-
scopic comet. He had died, but his
son, Frederick VII, fulfilled his faith
er's promise, and in due time the medal
came over the sea to the young as
tronomer. 1t forms curious link be-
tween the Old World enthusiasm for
science and the New World woman,

for days in the effort to adjust the

been broken. She cooked and cleaned

In short, she was always ready to

In 1865 she was called to Vassar
College, and for twenty years there
she made deep impression upon the
developing plans for wemen's educa-
ton, and at the same time built up a
reputation for genuine scholarship. To-
day her hundreds of students make pill
grimages to the Nantucket house, and
rejoice that 1t is to be preserved as a
memorial OF a nature which somewhat
resembled it In its simplicity and its
strength. Youths Communion.

rnlIor,s Lire-saving Coat

A London tailor has invented new
life saving coat and CATERS, with
which it is possible for q person
clothed therein TO maintain an upright
position when immersed in the water,
even il not possessing any knowledge
of swimming
The coat resembles in appearance an
ordinary pilot coat, but it is fitted with
an air belt, which is inflated with air
through tube The CATERS each
weigh two pounds and arc fitted with
two brass wings or blades fastened
to the back of the heel. AS the wearer
moves his feet in the water these
wings open and shut, and not only
propel the wearer along like oars but
enable him to manhattan an upright
position from the waist upward IN the
water
A practical demonstration OF the utll-
ity of the invention was recently I'M
dertaken in the River Thames by the
inventor and its efficiency and life
saving qualities clearly shown, even
when moving against the tide.
