Justice HarIan's Prophecy.

When Justice Harlan enumerated spreading religion" as one of the responsibilities of this country since it became a world power he prOoably in- tended the statement to have a general rather than a specific application. Justice Harlan was addressing a gen. eral assembly of Presbyterians which explains his introduction of the sub ject of religion. He predicted a time when the people would regret that the United States became a wOrld-power, with a colonial system such as Eng land has, and the accompanying re- responsibilities.
 By using the phrase spreading re- ligion" Justice Harlan no doubt had in mind the protection of followers of ali creeds. according to the principles of our government. It is not to be in ferred that he believed the government would attempt a religious propaganda in the colonies or elsewhere. There is little danger of that
 The colonial system will be found to produce enough complications without adding the literal spreading of relig- ion to the government functions.

An Anchorage of English.

According to the eighty-ntnth annual report of the American Bible soHiety there is no falling off Tn lie demand for~that most popular of books ast year the society issued 1.ss2 ,Oss bibles and testaments Since its organiza- ton it has issued 76,272,7 ,7T9 copies cf the bible-almost as many as there are men, women and children in the Unit ed States.
 The old bible house in Astor Place is the site from which this stream of bibles is constantly flowing. They are printed in all sizes and styles and at all prices. There are bibles with raised letters for the blind and libles iII all known languages.
 Considered only as a book aside rum its religious value, the bible is d mas terpiece. Its English has formed the style of many speakers and writers whose simplicity of expression was due to its simple phrases and clearn .s5 of thought. The revised versions nave had in comparison little vogue. A quota ton from the bible IS usually made in English from the old version. The bible phrases which have gone into common speech and thought are home ly expressions worded in older English than that of modern custom.

The rlarrlage of vIndlcatIon.

New York Mail: Americans come rather nearer to being a race of IIIritans than any other great people. Even the Scotch. who are strict Sabbatarians and fierce critics of one another's priv ate lives. are the reverse of Puritanical when it comes to the use of orthodox Scotch drink. And the English, though they frown on the French lubricity, are markedly indulgent toward manly forms of registering and irregularity which American public sentiment con- demns.
 But would Englishmen, Scotch. Frenchmen or Spaniards propose mar riage in droves to a woman like Nan Patterson, who. whether she be a mur- deress or not, has had a most remarlza- ble career? We think not.
 The American is, indeed, a strange and quixotic person. His idea of ex- pressing sympathy with any woman who has had an unhappy experience. whether she has deserved it or not, is to propose marriage to her. A great many men evidently believe that Nan Patterson was guiltless of Caesar Young's blood. Believing her thus in nocent of this crime, they wipe all the rest of her career off the slate and i'm pulsively offer her their hand and heart.
 A couple of years ago an Irish girl in a small Indianapolis hotel refused to make up a bed in which Booker T. Washington had slept. and was prop erly discharged by her employer. Im- mediately she began to receive offers of marriage from all over the south It was the American way of saying you did right girl" No sort of con- sideration was taken of the question she was otherwise fit for mat rimony. Her suitors merely wanted to give her the supreme vindlcation. We believe she accepted one of the of fers.
 If Mrs. Chadwick had been single, it is scarcely to be doubted that many men who regarded her as persecuted woman would have offered her their hands in marriage. Under the circum- stances. it is hardly to be wondered that the proportion of matrimonial casualties is considerably higher in this country than it is anywhere else in the world. There are undoubtedly too many marriages for vindication.

BABY'S FACE
 MASS OF SORES
Ears Looked as if They Would Drop Off Body Entirely Covered with Humor Three Doctors Could Not Cure-ChiId Grew Worse.
CURED BY CUTICURA
 IN TWO WEEKS

Mrs. GeorgeJ. Steese, of 7oI Coburn St., Akron, Ohio, tells in the following letter of another of those remarkable cures of torturing, disfguring skin humors daily made by Cuticura Soap, assisted by Cuticura Ointm ent, after physicians, and all else had failed: "I feel it my duty to parents of other poor suffering babies to tell you what Cuticura has done for my little daughter. She broke out all over her body with a humor, and we used everything recommended, but without results. I called in three doc tors, they all claimed they could help her, but she continued to grow worse Her body was a mass of sores, and her little face was eaten away, her ears looked as If they would drop off. Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and before I had used half of the cake of soap and box of ointment the sores had all healed, and my little one's face and body was as clear as a newborn babes. I would not be without it again if it cost five dollars, instead of seventy-five cents, which Is all 1t cost us to cure our baby, after spending many dollars on doctors and medicines without any benefit whatever"

The kaiser's Navy.

Recently there was sale of vessels
 of the British navy condemned as ob- solete and useless. The most antiquat- ed of these ships was eighteen years old. Several of them were only four or five years old. None of them had ever received any damage in battle.
 These facts, it is reported, have set Germans to thinking about the actual
 fighting value of Germany's greatly vaunted navy. The result of their thinking is not satisfactory. It is A strong suspicion that many of GernIa- ny's stately warships are as unhk to meet an enemy as the ships of Which the British navy has just rid itself. Of Germany's twenty-six battleships many were launched from twenty to sixteen years ago. The Baden, the Wurtemberg. the Bayern And the Sa- chsen were launched En9fe than twen- ty-five years ago. The Worth, the Oldenburg are as old or older. Yet all these veterans are in Germany's first sea-fighting line. The cruisers make an even worse showing. The Konig Wilhelm is thirty-seven years old Two others are over thirty. Much of the ordnance is as old as the ships -Krurp guns of obsolete patterns, in sufficient calibre and far less able to stand the strain of smokeiess powder than the forty or so big guns of the United States navy now being replaced as rapidly as possible because some of the class have recently gone to piec- es during target practice.
 Of the twenty-six sea going battle ships of the United States navy, count ing their age from the year their keels were laid. one, the Texas, is eighteen years old; three, the Indiana, the Mas sachusetts and the Oregon, are four teen years old. All the others are young ships, and the veterans are powerful and serviceabfe vessels by no means ripe for retirement. Of the twelve ar mored cruisers on the navy list. only two. the Brooklyn. whose keel was laid in 1893. and the New York, whose keel was laid in 1890. are veterans. and they have plenty or fight left in them still.
 The conclusion is that the kaiser's navy which he seems so anxious to show off in a naval war. is far behind the American navy in actual fighting strength, and, at the present rate of increase, will fall further and further behind every year.

Were gleaned by your correspondent in an interview with the proprietress of the well nown Lees Ranch"
 Mrs. Sarah l.. Lee. who is an ardent Arizonian. and who is always alert to the comforts and welfare of health seekers, has instituted a new departure in the establishment of a summer camp at Prescott, and which will be a per manent feature of her sanitarium work in the future. The idea was perhaps first conceived through the desire of some of her guests of the past. winter to remain in Arizona. They had come to the Salt River valley from sections of the north and east in searcn ot renewed health and had made such marked improvement at the well ap- pointed tent sanitarium of Mrs. Lee Tn this valley that they were loathe 10 return to their homes for the summer but preferred to remain here. There upon Mrs. Lee perfected arrangements for a summer camp at Prescott for three months during each summer.
 Five acres of high ground in south Prescott, one mile from the postohice, has been secured for the tent camp, with splendid water supply and clean pine laden air A six room house for dining room, kitchen, and private apartmeIls completes the arrangement. Mrs. Lee will break camp at the ranch on Thursday and will leave on Sat urday morning for the summer camp accompanied by her family and eleven of the winter guests, who will return with her in September, when she will resume the work of the sanitarium at Lees Rench.'

Alhambra, May 22.-(Special to the Republican, )-The first ensilage silo to be built in the Salt River valley has just been completed by H. Renaud at the Alhambra Holstein- -Friesian dairy farm. During last years drouth MT. Renaud like many other valley farm CTS, found it very hard to provide feed for his stock till rain would relieve the strain. Profiting by his experience he resolved to build a 100-ton siIO this year in which to store a supply of en silage, which is made by cutting corn aud sorghum fine and put it into this silo to be cured for winter feed. The same attention of course is being given to hay and grain crops as has beer usual. but corn and sorghum will be planted m July to be harvested for en- siiage and put in the silo as a reserve in case of shortage of feed. His next cunI eInpiated improvement for ais daiS ranch is the equipment of a windmill water supply for house and dairy use and stock water to be piped to the several fields.
