.DESTURBED GERMA MS.

There is some warm talk going on in
 Europe nowadays outside of Russia. The bitterness of the press controversy between England and Germany is ex- emplifled in the fierce attack made upon Lord Lansdowne recently in the Neue Freie Presse of Vienna, which is known to be in most intimate relationship with Prince Buelow, the German chancellor. This article begins with the assurance that Lord Lansdowne, M. Delcasse and M, Cambon are the trio placed by the

STILL GROWING.

As long as the per capita increases all will be well. or, at least, all will seem well. So it gives us joy to call attention to the fact that the latest f1gur- ing shows that 1t has increased. Everybody in this country has more money than he had last year at this time. Anybody who doesn't think so can have his doubt abolished by looking at the treasury statement just issued, which shows that the money circulation per capita on Novem- Der first was thirty-one dollars and six ty-nine cents, which is the highest yet reached. A year ago the per capita was thirty-one dollars and thirty-eight cents, and in 1900 but twenty-seven dol lars and eightytwo cents.
 Good enough. Let us persevere, and feel rich until the per capita begins to shrink. And even then we can keep up our spirits by comparing the per capita with times when it didn't amount to much. It is fine thing to be a caput in 8 country with such per capita as ours

Upon Lord Lans- downe. it says. lies the suspicion that he belonged ''tO the originatOrs of that policy which led to the danger of double war. and if one takes no notice of the report that King Edward also intervened to further and urge this pol icy there really remain as its repre- sentatives only these three. who quiet ly worked, by means of the Franco Italian rapprochement and the Anglo French colonial agreement, towards the isolation of Germany" It then pro ceeds to say that Eff King Edward be not taken into account Lord Lans- downe is the man of the policy which led to the Anglo-French agreement, and which had previously thwarted the relations of Germany to America. The Neue Freie Presse declares that the approaching general elections in Eng land will determine whether the sus- picion shall continue that the disturb ance of the peace of the world is pur- sued in Downing street, a suspicion which has been so rightly nourished by Delcasse's revelations. No more than Macbeth will Lansdowne be able to purge from his raiment the stain for which he has to thank his French friend and accomplice, Delcasse. Lans- downe played with the awful idea of a double war which might have grown to a universal war;
 These are plain words, and they indi- cate that somebody in Germany doesn't feel good.

SOME GOOD YORK.

SOME GOOD WORK.
 New York hasn't been governedas well as it might have been, but i: has had some good and thorough work done for it. Until 1892 the New York health department did little but look actively after contagious diseases, chiefly small pox, diphtheria and scarlet fever, and the general sanitary condition of the city. With the advent of Dr. Herman NJ. Biggs and his microscopes, says the Sun, in an exhaustive review of the departments work, "eame what might be called the bacteriologicaf era, the time when Dr. Biggs and his micro- scopes moved in. Then up-to-date ideas began to prevail, the health de- partment began to branch out, until now it employs from 1,200 to 1,500 persons, all interested in the one sub ject of helping to cut down the death rate. Instead of safeguarding the peo- pie from three contagious diseases, it now strives to protect them from no less than thirty-five contagious, infec- tious or communicable diseases" Its great and dignified work is thus sum- marized: It runs hospitals, it manu- factures serum to fight disease and gives it away to the poor: it makes war, tooth and nail, on tuberculosis and typhoid and similar diseases with as much vigor as if they were >small- pox or yellow fever; it provides physi- clans to the poor in certain cases, and even nurses and proper food when re- quired; it runs splendid laboratories and makes analyses for all p ysicians free of charge; it inspects tenement houses for all unsanitary conditions; it inspects all the milk brought to the city; it inspects the fruit meat and fish consumed in the city; it inspects all the public school children, and it's work in improving their condition of health has been nothing short of monu- mental; it disinfects all plaees where contagion has existed: it makes war upon the mosquitoes of the city's marshes; it is about to operate a san- atorium for tuberculosis patients-the poor of the city-out in the country; it co-operates in every way with physi- clans, with private citizens and with societies to improve the health of the city.
 What all this work means is seen in the fact that in 1896 the expectation of life at the time of birth in New York city might be fixed with more or less accuracy at a little more than twenty five years. Nowadays the exp ,ctation of life for any one born in the city and raised there is fully 42 years. That is much to anybody who likes to and can afford to live in New York.

sEIIF-MADE MEN OF ENGLAND.
Difficulties to be Overcome Greater
 Than In America.

 Than In America.
 Americans are never tired of telling us that theirs is the country for self made men. It is, however, open to question if there ever was an age or country in which a man of strong character and ability could not force himself to the front and open @ career pretty much according to his will.
 Even under despotic governments wonderful stories are told of men of plebeian origin obtaining high rank for some service to the state accomplished under the patronage of the court. In eastern empires large proportion of the most successful statesmen and generals have been slaves by birth. In western Europe there is always some circumstance of the period which fa- vors the rise of low born ability. In war time a great soldier or engineer is recognized without thought of his pa- rentage. There has always been plen- ty of military ability when ambition has been attracted in that direction.
 Lord Eldon once boasted that Eng land was country where every man might raise himself from the hun1blest origin to the highest office in the state. He instanced himself as proof of the fact. The advantages enjoyed by the present generation are far greater than in his time, nevertheless the up- ward path is far more difficult and the

difficulties to be overcome far greater than in America. The superiority of knowledge am6ng the instructed. the hxsdness of all classss in the station and to the employment to which they have been born unite 10 render the pressure very heavy on any artisan dssirOus of rising to a position of dis tinctiOn. Yet the age is favorable, for 1t is period of scientific development
 So many men of humble birth and training have risen to fame and for tune in this country during the last two generations that We quite expect to hear that every successful inventor Is the son of a Iaborer of one sort or another. Arkwright, WedgwOOd, Brind- ley and Telford were types of our self made men in one generation. just as Stephenson, Paxton and WhitwOrth were types of later date. At the end of the eighteenth and beginning of the nineteenth centuries. when new ques- tions occasionally arose of which aris- tOcratic statesmen were ignorant, it was felt that some clever and well in formed middle class man would under

 Few poets and artists now spring from the working classes, As knowl- edge and taste have advanced the need of cultivation is more generally per ceived by the public, if not by the as- pirant. We do not expect a Burns to be repeated. The poetry of ploughboys is prized, if at all, for it's dear reflec- | tion of nature, and not because it pro- cteds from a ploughboy. The same ! change has taken place among artists. More knowledge is now requisite for a man to be considered a great painter than was dreamed of by our forefath- CTS before the art treasures of the con tinen were opened to our study. John Opie, the Royal Academician, was q case in point. He was a son of d car penter in Cornwall, and as 8 lad was always scrawling likenesses of people and things with chalk on every surface within reach. He attracted the notice of Dr. Wolcot (Peter Pindar), who brought him to London and intro duced him to his friends as heaven born genius. Opie had the sense to perceive in course of time the import ance of study Instances of artists born in humble circumstances becom- ing famous are not numerous, proba- 1 bly, because education in its widest sense is necessary for mastery in the art.
 In the sister art of music less disad- vantage Is experienced from loWly ori- gin. The means of a scientific musical 1 training are becoming more and more accessible and abundant. We may yet hope to see, as one of the results of the extended cultivation of music in England, the rise of some lark, spring | ing from the furrow, mounting on high to win the worlds ear with his music. Musical genius is a matter of organi- zation in which there is no respect of persons. It is like mathematical gem jus, mainly inherent, while susceptible of incalculable enlargement by appli- cation and a general cultivation of the intellect.-London Chronicle.

WAY.
 A returned traveller who spent half of his holiday in a tour of Ireland brought back a sample of the hapoy- go-lucky wit of the Irish "jarvey,' CT driver. In a breakneck race down a hill he suddenly realized that the splr- tied little Irish mare was running away.
 Pull her up!" he shouted, excitadly.
 Hold tight. your honor," returned the jarvey, easily.
 Pull her up!" again commanded the traveller, making a grab for the reins.
 For your life don't touch the reins,'' the jarvey answered, without tighten ing his grip. Sure, they're as rotten as pears"
 The traveller made ready to jump, but the tarvey laid a soothing hand on his shoulder.
 "Sit easy" he said. reassuringly. "f'll turn her into the river at the bridge below here. Sure, thatll stop her. "-Reynold' Newspaper.

WHY SHE DID.

She married him, not to reform him, and not for the gifts he possess ed.
 Nor was it for love that she kindled the joy which he had in his breast; She married him not for his manners, and not for the size of his purse. And it wasn't because of his knowledge that she took him for better or worse.
 She married him, not for a title-no title was his, or could be She married him not for position, and not for his great pedigree. It wasn't his pleading that won her, but gladly she took him for life. Because "a proud thing whom she hat ed was crazy to be the mans wife.

TRANsPLANTING TREES,

Autumn planting or the transplant ing of tree or shrub from one place to another is now in full swing. One reason why this is a, suitable time is because the warmth which the soil has acquired during the sup1mer, not being quite expended, acts as a gentle stlm- ulus to the roots, which start into ac- tivity in, their new home very quickly and soon reach a condition to meet the rigors of winter. e...z

Pensions for millionaires is one of the
 new developments under the executive order of last year. making age the only
 disability necessary for the granting of a service pension. According to Com
 missioner of Pensions Warner the ap- plicatfon of a millionaire for a pension has been recently favorably passed up- on. He did not want the pension, &C., cording to the commissioner, on &C., count of the money it carried with it, but simply to perfect his record of hon. orable service in the Civil war. This view of the age disability order is be- ing taken by many well-to-do veterans as the service pension is a desirable ad- dition to family records. The million aire pensioner has just made dona- tion of $1O0,o00 for benevolent purposes.

Consul Ernest L.

The pith and substance of the organization is to squelch the growing tendency of their employees to strike, and as far as possible to stif1e the influence of organ ized labor and social agitators to stir up discontent and strife.

MoRMoNs PURCHASE JAIL.
They viii Make a Church Where the
First Prophet Met Death.

Chicago, March pa special to the
Post from Carthage, ILL.,, says:
Because of the historical associa-
tions, the members of the Mormon
church have purchased for $4,000 the
old Jail here, where the first prophet
and the founder of the faith met a
tragic death at the hands of a mob.
The old structure was not worth over
$500. 1t is proposed to establish a
mission church in the building.
In this connection, the announce
ment that the Mormons are coming
back to Illinois, after the lapse of half
century and are to establish three
new churches, has caused comment
The fact that the church Is to make
Carthage a headquarters in Illinois
may be followed by public action in
opposition.
