Trouble with the Napery.

Linen kings can make trouble east
" for the housewife with their three
jointed microscopes for determining
the number Of threads to the inch in
any article of table linen. One visited
a friend the other night and after din
ner exhibited a handkerchief worth at
wholesale $1.50 apiece. 1t was very
beautiful under the microscope. The
hostess then looked upon a napkin and
afterward upon a tablecloth. Now, she
thought up to that moment her napery
was the finest in the block, and the
revelation of the wide meshes caused
the most bitter disappointment. Ever
since her misery has been complete.
When "linen kings go out socially
they had better leave their microscopes
at home.-New York Press.

Mr.. Bryce and Small Colleges.

From the northampton Herald.
1t is evident that Mr.. Bryce has not
grasped the great part that our smaller
colleges have done and are doing in the edu-
cational evolution of the country, or the
impress they have made on our national
life All the stranger this seems, when 1t
is considered how little difference Ameri-
cans themselves make between gradual ton
at college or university. The training at
Amherst or at Williams is conceded gen.
orally to be quite as good and the stand
ard Of scholarship quite good as at Har-
ward or Yale, and the graduate Of the insti-
tuition of the one class is quite as justly
proud of the fact and of his alma mater as
the graduate Of the institution of the other
class The advantage of the university is
simply in its larger scope, especially In the
way of electives, and in the ability to secure
more faculty members of distinguished rep
utation. There are ways in which the edu-
cation of the smaller colleges of the best
class is superior.
1t is also noteworthy that Mr. Bryce omits
altogether mention of the women's colleges,
in which direction American educational
development in the last quarter of CEN
fury has been altogether the most remark
able In fact, the higher education of
women in the United States has had its
development very largely in that time.

Mexico and Monroe Doctrine.

President Diaz, in Golfers.
It is not our opinion that to the United
States alone. in spite of the immensely Of
its resources, belongs the obligation of
assisting the other republics of this hemi-
sphere against the attacks Of Europe or
Asia, II such attacks are still to be con-
sidered possible, but for the attainment OF
the end to which we all aspire, each one
of the republics ought by means of a dec.
laration like that of President Monroe pro-
claim that every attack on the part of q
foreign power, with the view OF curtaif-
ing the territory or the independence, or of
altering the institutions of any one of the
republics of America, would be considered
by the nation making such declaration as
an attack upon itself, provided that the
nation directly attacked or threatened in
such a manner bespoke the aid of the other
nations OPPORTUNITY. In this manner the
doctrine now called by the name of Mon
roe would become the doctrine Of America
in the fullest sense OF the word and al
though originating in the United States.
would belong to the international law of
the American continents. As to the means
to reduce this idea to practice. this Is not
the place or occasion to discuss them

Consider, for instance. among the many
illusory triumphs of our blindness, two
fleets that prepare for battle. A few thou
sand men, as imperceptible. as helpless, in
their relation to the forces they bring into
play, as a pinch of aunts in a virgin for

that they have enslaved. turned to their
purpose, to serve an idea entirely foreign
to the universe, the most unreasonable and
most dangerous Of its laws. Try to provide
those laws with aspect, physiognomy,
proportionate and appropriate to their
power and functions! And if you are afraid
to let your mind dwell on what is impossible
and unimaginable, leave out of count the
profoundest, the most august of these laws,
that of gravitation, which the ships obey
as well as the sea that bears Them and
the earth that bears the sea, and the PLAN
cts that support the earth. You would have
to seek so far, In such solitudes, such IN
finities. beyond such stars, for the elements
that compose 1t, that the widest dream
would pause in helplessness, nor the whole
universe suffice to lend a mask

TALK TO woULD-BE SETTLERS.
Strip of Land Strewn With Skeletons OF
Prosecutors.
From the San Francisco Argonaut.

From the San Francisco Argenaut
On June Is, 1903, 100000 acres of land
In California were thrown open to entry
This may be taken up either under the
desert land act or as homesteads In ten
acre tracts. The strip stretches from Mo-
lave to the Colorado river.
We wish to warn all intending settlers to
let this land alone. There is a good deal
of talk about making the desert blossom
as the rose" Some deserts blossom, but not
this one. Nobody will ever do more for this
desert than Mother Nature has done. The
only blooming nature has brought about
tbere is that It's freckled bosom blossoms
with large alkali postules. or pimples. punct-
mated with sage brush and cactus. This
sums I'D the flora of the new promised land
The fauna includes Jackrabblts' horned
toads ella monsters and Venomous snakes
The soil is coarse gravel, and on top OF the
coarse gravel there is a fine alkalf powder
which when the wind blows-and the wind
blows often-SWeepS over the screening ana
barren land like the dreaded sand storms
of the Sahara which, by the way, these al
kali storms much resemble. Even far TO the
southwest across the lofty mountain ranges,
these desert sand storms sometimes sweep,
reaching the favored jewellers In southern
California in the midst of their orange
groves Even this distant touch of the
desert winds causes trees to wither, grass
to scorch and men and animals to suffer
keenly. over the QreaQ1ul desert the sun
moves like a ball of fire across sky of
brass Rarely does a cloud break the in
tensity of it's pitiless rays.
Those credulous persons who may be-
lieye that this is the kind of1desert which.
by irrigation, may be turned into garden
are doomed to disappointment. There is no
water on this desert strip. The waters of
the Colorado may be led on the lands of
the Yuma desert. but that is far lower in
level than are these. Much of this Mojave
strip Is at an elevation of 1000 or 5000
feet As for artesian water, the writer per-
sonally knows of one well which was bored
for nearly 1900 feet, ending in igneous rock
and producing nothing but profanity.
The last hope for the settler on this
barren land would be the discovery of the
precious metals They may exist there. We
do not say they cannot be found. But we
know that the land has been prospected by
experienced miners for half a century. If
a tenderfoot can find gold mine where an
old California miner falls he Is smart
tenderfoot. But we doubt his success.
We warn all eastern people not to be de-
luded by false. even If well-meaning rep
reservations concerning this strip of land
between Mojave and the Colorado river. 1t
is strewn with the skeletons of prospect
ors, the bones of animals. 1t is place of
skulls.

EATING POISON.
That's What We're Doing Every Day
Of Our Lives.

rom golfers.
We seat ourselves before palatabIe and
fnnocent-looking dishes, fully assured that
some ingredient is fastening the grave and
also diminishing our efficiency and hap
piness while we live. Some adultera-
tfons are merely worthless substitutes for
nourishment. Most of them are poison.
State legislatures and the United States
Senate refuse to pass pure food laws be-
cause they are the sacred guardians of the
poison industries. Why interfere with an
established business, in which are Invested
many millions? Not on your life. We talk
a good deal about dangerous patent medi-
cines, and the evil they do is undoubted:
but the food situation is much worse We
need not take patent medicine We
need not, as a rule, drink whisky" rum
ming our chance of getting something
wholesome, such as prune Juice or some
thing as deadly wood alcohol But we
must eat, and life would be better worth
the living If the national and state govern
ments would give us the right natural TO
modern private citizens, of eating without
rejecting upon so large a chance of unwil-
lingly Fastening death.
The public is being educated II is re-
ceiving constant supply of information
about the poison trade, and dgesting some
OF 1t. In time, perhaps, il will know so
much that aduteration will be less profit
able, and even legislatures may not be
worth buying by manufacturers. We I'M
derstand that the agricultural department
now refuses information when il is asked
about the safety of articles which IT has
investigated. The reason for such refusal
we have not seen. Foreign governments
are not so kindly in their reatment either
OF the men who manufacture poison by the
wholesale or of the men who sell il at re-
tall No wonder the conditions In this
country remind some observers of the man
who said he always took hash. because
then he knew what he eating. ITO
poison for patriotic purpose" says one
writer on the subject, "or even for revenge,
has the redeeming quality of romance but
to do it for money degrades the poisoner."
Another shows how the pig is forced to
masquerade potted turkey. grouse and
chicken, and how a bottle of wine can in
many establishments be fitted with almost
any desired label at a moments notice.
The magazines, indeed, filled with ar
ticles on food. its receptions poisons and
adulteration; books also contain informa-
ton on the subject: and the public must be
dense If 1T is not rapidly acquiring habits
of mind which will make II more difficult
to make a decent living in many Industries
which now flourish like the green bay tree.
