campaigning is rather primitive. Mon

Only those who have been within

Petersburg can imagine the conditions
influencing this interview between the
Car and his representative who has
carried off the honors of the diplomatic
game that has recently been played to
determine the terms on which peace
could be concluded between Russia and
Japan.
The American imagines the Russian
statesman and diplomat returning to
the presence of the Gar with form
erect and countenance beaming with
lust pride in having performed serv-
ice for which he would naturally ex-
pect to be received with honor. But
those who have been at the Imperial
Court of Russia know that no such
scene is enacted upon h return OF
NJ. White. '"
With Bowed Head and Humbly
They know he will return to the
presence of his royal master. the Gar,
if he has already reached st. Peters
burg with bowed head, .regretting that
he has been unable to servo his mas
ter in a more worthy manner, and
praying, with the hunted ~countenance
of d criminal, that he be forgiven for
having performed SO poor a service.
He will protest that If there can be
found any act of his own worthy of
favorable comment that that act is due
wholly to having obeyed the royal will
and having properly interpreted the
royal purpose. He will conclude that
act of humiliation by begging forgive
ness of his august master for his short
comings. No mental in America could
play the part of humility so earnestly
as will the distinguished diplomat M
White.

chical governments toward their royal
masters is one that cannot be under

The fact is, M. Witte began his act

SENATOR MARTINS CASE.
denomination of Virginia Statesman
Cost a Small Fortune.

Senator Martin of Virginia is out of
pocket 81, 800 in expenditures to Sc
cure a denomination to the United
States Senate. This is more than one
third of the salary he would receive
during the whole six years of his new
term. The expenditure, it seems, was
necessary. The Senator had a popular
opponent who set a hot pace and kept
it up to the end. There was nothing
for Mr.. Martin to do but to canvass
the State from end to end and this,
with other necessary expenses, ran the
total high. This fight of Senator Mar
tin for denomination and the neces-
sary large expenditure, which is looked
upon as entirely legitimate and free
from any corruption, has aroused on
siderable comment among politicians
and prominent men at Washington, as
being an exceptional clear cut e.

necessities.

AT THE RATE OF FORTY A MINUTE.

When this marvellous production of
Persian artists and weavers was
spread out before his majesty at
Buckingham Palace he must have
been reminded of some of the scenes
depicted in the arabian Nights
1t had been known for some days
past that a special Ambassador from
the Persian monarch was to wait upon
the King, and there was some specula-
ton as to the object of his mission.
The secret was well kept, and it wal
not until the arrival of the ambassador
at the palace that any Information
could be gained rs to the contents of
the great packing case over. which he
kept vigilant guard.
For more than two years quite a
little army of designers and a
las been constantly at work upon
the carpet, and the result has beer the
production of what even in Persia
must be considered a royal master
piece.
The design is very curious, complex
and certainly most ingenious; the
colors are perfect and faultlessly
blended; and the manufacture is flaw
less. The rug has been made entirely

There is pathos in the attitude of the
great Russian statesman, M. White,
largely to whose diplomacy the Gar
owes the favorable conclusion of the
war with Japan, in his presentation in
person to his majesty, of a report on
the details of whose historic meetings
at Portsmouth which were so managed
as to save the face" of Russia, as
they say in the far East. 1t is difficult
for an American to understand the ma
u of this meeting between Car and
subject, and although we as a people
cannot admire NJ. Whites braggadocio,
we must in fact feel sorry for a man
who returns to his country after ac-
complishing 80 much in her behalf and
finds it at once necessary to plan an
intrigue in order to prevent effacement.

lit story of the actual performance
of the pie machine is truly wonderful.
In fact two machines are necessary.
In the first the crust is produced.
Instead of pie pans, molds like waffle
irons are used to form the crust. ~
the molds pass along On an endless
chain, they move a lever at one end
which permits the pie dough to enter
the pans, shaped something like waffle
irons. n they then pass between two
sets of burners which take the place Of
h oven. OF course before the dough
is released the ron are heated to the
proper temperature. The dough is con-
tanned in Il huge tank above the ma
chine, a feed pipe running down, Inc
by means of Il piston, Just enough
dough is forced down to fill one of the
molds as 1t passes under the pipe.
The strokes of the piston are so regu-
lated as to be timed with the arrival
of each pan under h pipe. AS soon as
the crust is baked they are removed
by an attendant who stand ut n n
of the machine. These crusts are then
arranged on Il large pan which is taken
up by another attendant who places
the crusts in the second machine.
Filling by the Ton.
This is also of the endless chain type,
with two vast ats at one end, one of
which contains the lemon filling n
the other the meringue. By carefully
regulated ratchets the filling and the
meringue are fed alternately. The
pies then pass on to an overhead
burner which gives the top of the
meringue Il rich brown. The pie, thus
completed, is passed out from under
the baker and is ready for disposal by
the American pie eater.

ways used q couple of eggs and a
lemon to each pie and so the Pittsburg
baker would use 100000 lemons, and
14,400,000 eggs. Laying these 100000

Always Room for Good Ones.

Most ~discouraging of all the obstacles
to the girl seeking her living is the
constantly repeated falsehood that the
occupations open to the average female
intelligence are overcrowded. Thirty
years ago the same statement was
made to almost every female applicant
for employment as bookkeeper, clerk,
agent, st~enographer, saleswoman, etc.
At that time less than n per cent. of
all the women wage earners were en-
ployed in clerical positions. In twenty
years the percentage of women in this
class increased to five per cent. of the
total employed, while the figures Of the
last census promise a still more en-
couraging advance. 1t is further
shown that in the last decade of the

Choose a congenial Occupation.

The secret of success is finding out
ones special bent or talent. Usually
the thing that it is easiest to do, that
one likes best to do, is the work in
which one will be able to make greatest
progress. A very few are favored with
inspiration along original lines. Some
unfortunates commit the folly of choos-
ing a profession or trade because of
the results secured in it by others,
rather than because of any personal
inclination or adaptability.
Voluminous statistics show that a
girl need not be limited in her choice
of work, for some one hundred and fifty
occupations, meeting every need or de
sire of existence-from doctor to un-
dertaker-have already been exploited
by women. However, for the average
girl, comparatively few trades and pro-
LESSONS seem within her scope. Out
side Of the enormous number who be-
come teachers, very few women are
afforded the opportunity to acquire a
profession consequently, certain trades
required for carrying on of routine
work in business offices, shops and
factories, have come to be regarded as
the only money-making channels open
to the girls who arrive at the end of
their school days confronted with the

to the will of his master, the Car.
Expectations That He Would Fail.

The return of M. White to st. Pc
tersburg also has a special interest
because, as is fully understood in The
inner circles Of the Diplomatic Corps
at Washington, his appointment as a
peace commissioner to represent the
Car was given him not for his benefit
but was brought about by his enemies,
who expected hat his failure to effect
a successful peace negotiation would
be his permanent political undoing. It
was M. White who opposed the war and
favored its conclusion long before peace
was arranged. He was detested by the
military party, and the intrigues Of the
Russian court placed him in an I'M
comfortable position before the Gar.
1t was argued that if he could be sent
on the impossible mission of making
peace when the entire court was con-
WINGED that the attitude of Japan would
make the peace conference a failure, he
would return d~iscredited and forced for
the first time in his career to approve
the continuance of the war, which was
| desired by certain of the court digni-
taries up to the time peace was de-
clared.
