VIOLATED conadeuee.

Violated Confidence.
No one who follows the news of the
day or reads political and diplomatic
history eau fail to note the frequent
unpleasant situations which arise
from violated confidence. Somatims.
It is the spoken word which is ma lie
public without authority, but moro
often II Is a letter, says Youths Com
panion. The most careful writer. II
he have thoughtless or unscrupulous
correspondents, may find himself thus
suddenly embarrassed. Nor is It !;
sufficient answer to say that 1t serves
him right; that he ought never TO put
his opinions on paper IL he is unwill-
ing that they should become known.
A public man may often say as a
private citizen what propriety would
not allow him TO say in his official
capacity. The fault lies in a funda-
mental misconception Of the nature
OF letter. Every letter not especial
ly addressed to the public should be
considered confidential until the
writer gives permission for its pub
hcation. To treat 1t otherwise 10 to
show a lack Of sense, OF honor, Of
courtesy, or Of all three. The most
iespicable action of all is the publica-
don OF private letter for the sake
Of vindicaring. or trying to vindicate,
oneself. This whole matter of con-
idences and the inviolability OF let
tiers is one which touches good taste
and good breeding. The real gentle
man will no more be guilty Of a
breach of honor in this direction than
he will be guilty of using against an
opponent a piece of information
which was given to him in confidence.
Yet-here is a curious thing-many a
person who holds himself to a rigid
rule in such matters as have been
mentioned will regard the affair quite
differently as soon as death steps in.
Since the writer is no longer alive,
there can be no harm, and so forth"
Is the common introduction to post
humous letters which ought never to
have been made public. If the dead
hand can keep its grip in the affairs
OF church and state and land, shall Il
loose 1t In matters of honor?

WAS WILLING TO "BITE."
One in the Audience Who Had Never
Heard Of the Great Man In
Question.

At the recent annual meeting Of the
voters of Cape Elizabeth two names
were presented for moderator, Henry
s. Jorden and Clement q. Staples, Re-
publican and Citizen, respectively,
says the Boston Herald. The orator
who nominated Mr.. Staples made a
mighty effort. "Who is Clement q.
Staples?" he cried, as he waved his
arms like pump handles and STROBE
back and forth on the platform. A
deep and impressive silence followed.
Again waving his arms, he called in
voice Of thunder: who is Clement
e. Staples?" The silence was more
pronounced and the effect greater. The
audience was visibly impressed. Be-
fore attempting to dwell upon the
good qualities Of his candidate, the
speaker again proclaimed: 81 say,
who is Clement e. Staples?"
A small man In the rear Of the hall
stood on a chair and broke the silence
by saying: WAL. I'll bite. Who is
he?"

Grand Opera at Home.

Grand opera at home via your teie-
phone receiver is a New England and
New York scheme. A central power
plant is to be established wherefrom
music by electricity is to be trans
mitted through telephones to the
houses of the subscribers. A hat
terry of alternators is to be installed
which will transmit musical electrical
waves and these are adjusted to as
many different vibrations as tie
strings of piano. To play the instru-
ment a piano keyboard is used The
pressing Of key will operate a switch
which will close the circuit leading TO
the alternators adjusted to produce
the note that the piano string would
produce. But the note will be sound
ed in the ear Of the operator from the
battery itself. The vibrations will be
communicated to the main wires, which
will transmit them through branch
wires to the other end of the tele-
phones. There the note will be SQUAD
ed One of these receiving telephones
will be connected with the operator so
that he will know how his playing
sounds to all others connected with
the main wires. The receiving tele-
phones will be fitted with a mega
phonelike device warranted to carry
the notes through the room as well as
an organ would. The woodwind, brass
and string tones of the orchestra are
easily produced by mixing the required
harmonics in the required proportions.

Washington, May 22.-MOre than six

ton in Panama en- June 20. Although
the canal zone is under the secretary Of
war there is no indication that the war
department will have any troops near
the isthmus at the time of the APP
proaching election, and Secretary Taft
must rely upon the marine corps to pro-
tect the canal zone.
Only 200 marines are on the isthmus

Maj. c. G. Long. More than 400 ma
rines are on the Columbia, which is on

THE POINT OF THE PRovERB

An old proverb advises the shoe
maker to stick TO his last. II means
that a man always succeeds best az
the business he knows. To the farmer
1t means, stick to your pillow; 10 the
blacksmith, stick to your forge; to
the painter, stick TO your brush
When we make experiments out OF our
line they are likely to prove expen-
sive failures.
II IL amusing, however, TO remark
how every one of N secretly thinks
he could do some other fellows work
better than the other fellow himself
The painter imagines he can make
paint better than the paint manufac
turer; the farmer thinks he can do
a Job OF painting better, or az least
cheaper than the painter, and so on.
A farm hand in one OF Octave
Thanet's stories tells the Walking
Delegate OF the Painters Union, ANY
body can slather paint" and the old
line painter tells the paint salesman.
None OF your ready made mixtures
for me; reckon l ought TO know
how to mix paint"
The farm hand is wrong and the
painter is wrong: Shoemaker, stick
to your last" The fancy farmer"
can farm, Of course, but 1t is an ex-
pensive amusement. II It strikes him
as pleasant to grow strawberries at
fifty cents apiece, or to produce eggs
that cost him Eve dollars a dozen, Il
is form of amusement, to be sure,
II he can AFFORD It, but it's not farm
ing. II the farmer likes to slosh
around with a paint brush and can af-
ford the time and the expense Of hav.
ing a practical painter do the job
right pretty soon afterward, it's a
harmless form Of amusement. II the
painters customers can afford TO
stand for paint that comes OF In half
the time It should, they have perfect
right to indulge his harmless vanity
about his skill in paint making. But
In none Of these cases does the shoe
maker stick to his last.
There is Just one class OF men In
the world that knows how to make
paint properly and have the facilities
for doing It right; and that is the
DhAhL Va
the standard brands of ready.prepared
paints. The painter miTes paints;
the paint manufacturer 0riHds them
together. In a good ready-prepared
paint every particle Of one kind Of
pigment is forced to join hands with
a, particle of another kind and every
bit of solid matter is forced, as It
we're, to open its mouth and drink in
fits share OF linseed oil. That is the
only way good paint can be made, and
If the painter knew how to do 1t he
has nothing at hand to do It with. A
paint pot and paddle are a poor
substitute for power-mixers, buhr-mills
and roller-mills.
The man who owns building and
neglects to paint it as often as 1t
needs paint is only degree more
short-sighted than the one who tries
to do HIS own painting or allows the
painter to mix his paint for him.

promise Of gain is powerful. but when
added to 1t there is the prospect Of q
corresponding social and civil eleva-

young men Of a particularly desirable

"The Canadian West is alive with
opportunities for the young man who

with opportunities for the honest and
industrious of all classes, but they
are specially inviting to the ambitious
young man who seeks a field for the
