HAPPY eERMAN rHoUGHT.

A learned and thorough German has dispassionate1y discussed ''the future of Russia" in connection with the ques- tion of how Germany is to get rid of the $75O,OOO,O 900 of Russian bonds she now holds. Russia's bankruptcy is de- clared certain within few years
 Every circumstance, it is held, points to revolution and repudiation of the public debt, which is already becoming unmanageable. The proposal is to un- load Germanys Russian securities in good time on the United States and France. The author thinks that there can be no more favorable moment than the present, when America is becom- ing financially interested in Russia. /" Coming events in Russia are bound, it is thought, to affect political relations in western Europe. Prudence demands, it is declared, that the bankruptcy of Russia should not involve Germany in common disaster, but that it should be permitted to overwhelm France in economic ruin, which would perma- nently paralyze the Dual Alliance of Russia and France. To be rid of the Russian millstone would materially strengthen the position of Germany as against England. By the loss of her milliards invested in Russian securities France it is asserted, will be isolated in Europe and be compelled to abandon her colonies, which Germany could ap- propriate without striking a blow, pro- enough to dispose of her Russian in- vestments before it is too late. The re- turn of the German millions invested
 in Russia would strengthen the nation al credit and enable the government to develop the navy to any desired extent
 The ultimate effect of Russias bank ruptcy at the expense of countries oth- CT than Germany will be, it is predict
 ed, to shift the political center of gray ity of Europe to Berlin. Russia could not march" on India without German approval. Add to this that "the grow ing preponderance of Germany in Eu- rope and the Nearer East will render her good will matter of increasing importance in the eyes not only of Great Britain, but also of Japan" No
 mere island empire can dictate to the

It was Lassoed by Man Who Pulled Reptiles Fangs.
 ". B. Edwards, a Shoal Creek farm

 half-fOOt black diamond rattlesnake in
 frail woden box covered with
 window screening, and treated the
 vicious reptile in a spirit of friendiness
 that caused more cautious people to shudden.
 i T caught the snake yesterday after
 noon by lasoing it. said Edwards.
 My sister-in-law was walking along a
 path, when the snake struck at her. It
 was cOiled up in the grass alongside the path. It set its fangs into her dress
 and fell back on the ground. This at- ] tracted her attention, and she called to
 me to come and kill it. She was carry ing little child in her arms at the time.
 T saw what it was, and had my
 sister get out of the way, as it was pre- l pairing to strike her again., and then I got little rope and made lasso,
 which dropped over it's head. It was | easy after that, and just set my foot | eAA AAo iACShp 1EdL4lGu uuHh Wlln d p54E
 of pincers and pulled out it's fangs.
 Don't you want to buy it?" he added 1 to the stream of questions fired by each ! interrroggator. Edward appeared to have no fear of
 the snake. Falling to find a purchaser,
 he sought to effect a bargain by giving the crowd a better view of his snake ship. He deliberately lifted one of the boards from the top of the box, ex- posing his hand and wrist to the light ming stroke of the snake, had the reptile chosen. Evidently his faith in the tooth pulling was perfect. But as the lid was raised and the snake twisted | around in position to strike, forming the coil that has meant the death of
 hundreds of people, the crowd, not hav- ing the same faith, drew back in ap- rrehension of an attack. But the snake
 made no effort to leave the box.
 The snake is a splendid specimen of
 the black diamond rattler. It measurer four and half feea in length, and is larger than a mans wrist. Nine rat 5tles and a button constitutes the rat l tleboX attachment, showing the age of the reptile to be ten years. zLast year

ENCOURAGING.

Woman is looking up in India as elsewhere. Female education in India received a significant impulse at a meeting recently held in London, at which the subject of early marriage was discussed wholly by Indians. The opening paper was read lby a young Sikh Sirdar, and, though his supposi- tion as to the origin of the custom was not accepted by some of the speakers, they all denounced it as a curse, whether considered from a physical or a moral point of view In 1901 the num- Der of wives under five years of age was more than a quarter of million; between five and ten over two millions; while nearly seven millions were be- tween ten and fifteen. There were be- sides, nearly half a million widows un- der fifteen, of whom 10000 were less than five. The life of misery to which these poor innocents are condemned, the hardship, the irksome penance, the unmerited shame, are inconceivable to Europeans, the speaker said, yet are enforced by Hindu custom. Reform has been attempted in the native States of Mysore and Baroda by the passing of mild measures of permissive legis- lation, but this course is not open to the Indian government, as it's policy is one of absolute neutrality in regard to religious customs, except when, as in the case of suttee, they are contrary to natural rights.
 The eradication of the evil, all agreed, can be accomplished only by female education. The influence of woman is as powerful in the East as in the West, and the education of men only will do little towards the mental and moral development of the people, So powerless are they when confronted by the dead wall of female ignorance, pre- judice, and superstition.

MEMPHIS AGIT4TED.

There is a star in Memphis. In that city there is more enterprise than some might think. Some wideawake mer- chants there have supplied the churches with palmetto fans. on which their bus mess and bargains are attractively dis played, presumably to supply food for thought when the pulpit fails to enter tain. It is an innovation some of the fashioned church-goeTs cannot get accustomed to and they are discussing the subject in the local newspapers. The Memphis Commercial Appeal has entered the controversy, and it tries to soothe the troubled minds with the following: We must conf S that We do not see how a fan with an advertise ment on it is going to seriously imperil the Christianity of any one. We take it that most of those who attend church go there to worship God, and their at- tention is not apt to be seriously di- verted from the services by a notice on a fan of soap, perfume or hair restorer. Churches are not compelled to accept advertising fans, and no one is compelled to use them.
 This is ingenious, but we hope that advertising in church wont spread. For instance, it would seem hardly prop CT for minister to work advertise ments into his sermons, or for the or ganist to play the music of the latest popular songs.

An, elaborate celebration of the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of Benjamin Franklin, in which President Roosevelt is expected to participate, is being planned by the American Philo- sophical Society, which Franklin found- ed in Philadelphia. The birthday anni- versary will not occur until next Janu- ary IT, but the importance of the event, which is national in character, requires that considerable time should be de- voted to preparations. Three cities, Philadelphia, New York and Boston, will simultaneously pay honor to the great philosophers memory, and the State and federal governments and the French government will participate. Governor Pennypacker will preside at the celebration in Philadelphia, and President Roosevelt has promised to participate in whatever way the soci- ety desires. The society has $4O,0O0 at it's disposal for the celebration, half of which was appropriated by the legisla- ture.

General von Liebert, of Germany, has a theory regarding the Fatherland which he explained at the recent con- ference of the Pan-American League at Worms. The generals theory is to this effect: Every fifty years or so there comes tide in the affairs of Germany which taken at the flood has led on to fortune. Thus after the year 17O1 came the seven-years' war in 1756; after the battle of Jena, in 1906, followed the suc- cessful wars of 1864 and 1866. High water mark was reached in 1870, and the -ebb will be due by about the year 1920.

It is said that the Ohio law of 1902, creating bureau of inspection and su- pervision for public offices and estab- fishing a uniform system of public ac- counting, auditing and reporting, under the administration of the State auditor, has already directly saved the taxpay- CTS at least $SO0,0o0 in disclosing irreg- ularities, besides leading to a very much greater indirect saving.

The Earl of Gosford, since the age of twenty-three, has sat in the House of Lords under the double title of Baron Worlingham and Acheson, and he is old enough to remember the two titles being separately represented in that chamber by his father and his. grand father. This unusual circumstance was brought about by the elevtion, in 1S47, of the late Earl of Gosford to the Unit ed Kingdom barony of Acheson during the lifetime of his father, the then Earl of Gosford, who sat in the Lords as Baron Nottingham in the peerage of the United Kingdom, and who died in 1S49. Lord Gosford is a baronet of Nova Scotia, title which dates back to 1928.

The picture postcard craze threatens to oyerwhelm the French Postofffce de- partment. The following case is said to have been typical From micro scopical seaside resort near Boulogne, with three hundred permanent inhabi- tants, thirty thousand picture post cards were sent off in month. The local postmistress could not handle the mails. Her supply of one-cent stamps gave out and the demand for stamps of that denomination at Boulogne was so great that she could not obtain there new supply. The visitors had to use two-cent and four-cent stamps to send their cards.
