The Real cold IrOnsfdes.,,

When congress appropriated $4,000
for the reconstruction of the war frig-
ate Constitution from the battered
remnant according to the original
model of the historic ship, experts were
saying, "F,irst get your model" The
original having been unearthed the
wooden fighting ship which won for
herself the name "Ironsides," in
sense anticipating the modern plated
warship, will be restored as far as is
possible with the means at command.
The reconstructed ship which was
one Of the glories Of the old navy will
serve the purpose Of memorial and
also stand for departed type Of fight
ing vessel which was unique in it's
day, the war frigate. Popular interest
is now divided between the cruiser
and the battleship, but probably the
cruiser has the lead owing to it's repu-
tation for getting to the point of dan
ger quickly and putting up a good
fight when in action. This was the
popularity Of the frigate in the days
when "Old Ironsides'' made history
for the American navy. She was the
hero of single ship actions, but would
have given good account of herself in
line Of battle fighting had the chance
offered.

THE FRENCHMAN'S DINNER,
Happy and Care Free In the Even.
Ing Is the True Parisian

Happy and Care Free In the Even-
Ing Is the True Partisan.
: The Frenchman, with all his polite
ness and little niceties, is not a good
dresser. He is nowhere near the class
of the London man, nor can he equal
the Baltimore man who gives thought
to his wardrobe. This, of course. ap-
plies to generalities. There are ex-
ceptions where the Frenchman is a
model of the tailor's and haberdasher's
skill.
AS a rule, however, there are other
things that mean much more to him
than mere clothes. For instance, he
likes to dine. Every Frenchman, in
the proper sense of the word, dimes
IN the evening. He prefers highly sea-
soned food if he can get it and service
OF a corresponding degree of excel
lence. But dine he must and dine he
will-if not a good dinner, then a poor
one. He must have his soup, his fish,
a roast, an entree, some salad, dessert
and bit of cheese. With this he has
Wine, the vintage regulated by the
size of his bank roll. His coffee, in
the summer time, he will take outside
with cigarette or cigar, and his en-
joyment is not complete unless he
hears the strains of an orchestra.
He is not, perhaps, so passionately
fond Of music as the German, but still
he likes it and will have it if he can
afford it. He is gay and happy in the
evenings, is the Frenchman, and his
cares, whatever they are, he dismisses
temporarily. He rises late, and he
dimes late. Nine o'clock is about the
proper hour for the coffee, after he has
paid his respects to the various
courses. Then he is ready for the gay
life. When London is going to bed
Paris is just beginning to warm up

A New American Boycott.


Over in Baireuth, Germany, where
they play Wagner's "Parsifal' under
sort Of monopoly bossed by Frau
Wagner, American money is not only
very acceptable, but is actually neces-
sary to keep the peculiar enterprise
afoat. There is not much in Baireuth
to draw tourists except the show, but
the trimmings for the occasion, such
as programmes, mementos, refresh
ments and, of course, lodgings, car
rlages and flowers, bring in handsome
revenues to the place and incidentally
to Frau Wagner. Now, America not
long ago had the audacity to patronize
pirated rendering Of 'Parsifal," and
the indignant monopolist of tart for
arts sake felt outraged. To snub
American money at Baireuth because
Of the insult" to a sacred institution
would only be killing the goose that
lays the golden egg, but it was posi-
BILE to snub America personified, and
this the irate frau accomplished by
seeing to it that Mrs. Longworth had
a chilly experience during her late
pilgrimage to the home Of Wagner.
OF course Americans who want to see
"Parsifap' will continue to visit Bal
reuth, but will smile more or less con-
temptuously at the inconsistency of
the whimsical guardian of a great art
lists fame.

Strange Case of Private Grafton.

It sometimes happens during a war
that private soldier alone on the out
posts gets his life and liberty in
jeopardy from his friends by falling
asleep or otherwise neglecting to
snake good" as defender of the line
against the enemy. Private Grafton
Of the regulars didn't fall asleep or
otherwise forget what he was put on
the vedette post for. Two Filipinos
with knives in their hands approached
him in a threatening manner, and he
shot and killed them both. He was
tried by court martial for thus doing
his duty as he saw it and acquitted.
Doubtless, had there been but one
Filipino, Grafton would have "got the
drop on him" and told him to throw
up his hands. And as it was he might
have shot one Of the two and covered
the survivor, sparing one life. This
would have been proof that he had no
private grudge against the little brown
men, but it would require very cool
head to discriminate in an instant
when face to face with a man and q
threatening knife. And because he
shot and spared not Grafton was
hailed before the civil courts, found
guilty and sentenced to prison for
twelve years.
Much is involved in this strange
case. The army view holds that the
soldier was not only justified in shoot
Ing both Filipinos, but would have
been lax in military duty and liable to
punishment had he failed to do so.
The second trial placed the liberty Of
the accused in jeopardy a second time,
although both trials were not under
the civil law. However, the civil au-
thorities Of the district in which the
act was committed sanctioned the
military trial. The case is Interesting
because if the civil verdict stands the
soldier in like predicament in future
must reflect that he'll be blamed If he
shoots and blamed If he doesn't, and
the sure way to save his honor is to
let himself be carved up as a martyr
to lega! consistency.

THE FATE OF CAPTAIN LEE,
A Debt of Gratitude That This Coun-
try Owes to Spain.

"A Debt Of Gratitude That This Coun-
try Owes to Spain.
During the summer Of 1776 Captain
John Lee of Marblehead, cruising un-
der commission from congress, hav-
ing taken and sent home five valuable
prizes, entered the port Of Bilbao in
Spain. The captains Of two Of his
prizes and a part Of their crews were
on board. These officers Immediately
protested against their capture and had
Captain Lee arrested on a charge Of
piracy. The local authorities sent the
documents in the case to Madrid, to-
gether with the commission granted
by this new and unknown power.
In the decision Of the Spanish min
istry depended not alone the fate Of
Captain Lee, but whether some Of the
most important ports in Europe should
be opened or closed to American cruz
sers and privateers. The English min
lister in Spain brought all his influence
to bear against Captain Lee. At this
moment the Declaration Of the Fourth
of July reached Madrid. The complaint
against Captain Lee was dismissed,
supplies for his ship and aid in repair
ing it were furnished, and public dec
laration was made that in Spanish ports
the new flag Of America was as free
and as welcome as was the flag Of Eng
land
Spain, like France, also helped the
United States with 100000 francs
and with cargoes Of military stores

Green Food In Hot Weather.

Green Food In Hot Weather.
The London Lancet calls attention to
the fact that on a sWeltering day, when
the sight of animal food often lessons
the appetite, something fresh from the
garden not only makes cooked food
more palatable, but helps good diges-
ton. Says this paper:
When there is no inclination to eat or
when, as it is commonly said. a person
does not fancy his food, there is, as a
rule. torpidity Of digestive function
With the sight Of tempting food the
work of the digestive organs is begun

juice flows in response to a pleasant I'M
preston. The salad, therefore. may fill
special and important gap in the d.
etary, and when it Is prepared with oil.
as every good salad should be, it be-
comes an excellent and agreeable We
h1cle for conveying fat into the body.
The salad need not be a dish Of cul-
tivated plants, such as lettuce, en-
dive, cucumber, cress, onions or rad
ishes. Wild plants that are looked up
on as mere weeds-for instance, sorrel.
dandelion, wild chicory, and so on
are used by the French when the gar
den product gives out. Dressed with
olive oil and vinegar. they form an at
tractive and healthful component Of
meal. This authority holds that raw
green vegetables contain salts which
have a favorable effect upon the hui
man blood, but are destroyed in the
process of cooking. Therefore the eat
ing Of green vegetables both prevents
and cures disease.

Easy Money.

~~~>ASS
Surely if any spendthrifts ever pick
ed up money easy they were the hooters
Of the Milwaukee Avenue bank. De-
pOsits poured in and there was no end
Of opportunity to pick the banks peck
cts in the usual formal way, covering
up the thefts for the time being. But
there should have been a day of ac-
counting to the sworn officers paid to
see that the goods were on hand or
accounted for in case the real owners
called for them.
Stated examinations were made of
the bank and everything appeared reg
ular. The disappearance Of quarter
Of million Of the depositors' money
without sound security passed unde-
tected. Soon another lump followed
the first and when the robbery scared
to something like millions there were
still millions of deposits left to make
a bluff Of solvency. In banking where
figures do duty for dollars the game of
bluff is as easy as it is in military
campaign. Armies work out Of sight
Of each other All soldiers of one fac
look alike, and a general can march
up the same regiment time and
again to impress the distant foe with
his superior strength, making him
either overcautious or cowardly. There
Is no chance to count muskets. Honest
bank examiners are the foes to crooked
bankers, but they have no chance to
count the dollars, to go behind forged
securities which the bank officials
parade to view. For the honor and
preservation Of sound banking all
banks should unite in examining one
another. A committee Of expert bank
ers could not be fooled with forged
notes and rotten securities and would
not need to unearth business secrets
In order to get at the truth.

Man Must Take a Rest.

Two new and stringent laws to Sc
cure ga weekly day of rest' are up for
trial, one in France and a similar one
in Canada. The principle in both is
the same and contends that the state
may limit the hours of labor. The
French law is plainly in the interest Of
the working classes, but preference is
given to Sunday as the day of rest.
Substantially the act is as follows:
No Industrial or commercial establish
ment of any kind, whether public or pri-
waite, lay or religious, even Of those for
education or benevolence, is permitted to
work an employee more than six days
week. The weekly period Of rest should
be twenty-four consecutive hours. 1t
should be on Sunday. Wherever the
complete closing of an establishment on
Sunday would be prejudicial to the in
terests of the public the weekly rest
may be given for part or all of the year
in one Of the following ways: % On
some other day Of the week for the
whole personnel of the establishment; ca
from Sunday noon to Monday noon; 90
Sunday afternoon with a compensatory
holiday by rotation every fortnight, or ~
by shifts in rotation of part or all the
employees. These exceptions can only be
made by direct authorization of the gov
eminent. The day of rest by rotation "a
Is permitted only to the following estab-
lishments: Hotels and restaurants, shops
for sale of tobacco and fresh flowers,
hospitals, asylums and drug stores. news
papers, baths, museums, theaters and IL
braries, waterworks. gasworks and pow
er plants, transportation other than rail-
roads and industries dealing with perish
able material or products. In the case Of
public works of an urgent nature. such
as the prevention or repair Of accidents,
the weekly day OF rest may be suspended
for the workman needed. Railroads and
steamships are provided for in another
law.
In Canada the new law has been
promoted by religious sentiment, and
its sweeping, stringent prohibitions re-
call the old "blue laws" of Puritan
days. Trading is positively prohibited,
and so is "remunerated service" Of
every kind excepting in case of work
of necessity and mercy. Among the
prohibitions are excursion trains, the
handling of freight, theatrical amuse-

prize or reward, the printing and sale
Of Sunday newspapers, farming, bar
boring, and so on. The workingman
is protected under this law by penal
provisions expressly applicable to cor
porations and private employers.
While the workman may be fined, his
employers are liable in from ten to a
hundred times the amount for every
offense. With this law on the statute
books, the employee has at least one
refuge from the exactions Of greed. In
future it may serve as precedent for
government interference in fixing other
limitations for labor.

People Against Kings.

With Germany declaring that "arbi-

right Of kings to rule" it goes without
saying that the monarch1cal govern
ments Of the world will not take kind
~ to the idea Of world congress as
proposed by the interparliamentary
Union The union wishes to have an
International congress to make and to
execute laws regulating world affairs.
OF course this would mean that the
world congress should deal with dis
putes and apply to individual cases
the laws of arbitration.
The interparliamentary union was
fathered by an Englishman who was
man Of the people, labor unionist.
In this country he found an ally in
Congressman Bartholdt, and out of
1900 members of the union 200 are
from the United States. It has been
pointed out that the local patriotism of
this country is an obstacle In the way
Of an international union, but in any
event that local feeling may give way
before the growing ideas of world
citizenship and the brotherhood Of
man, ideas Incompatible with strife.
When the people are free to speak
their voice will be for arbitration and
peace. Then the "divine right to
fight battles will hardly be worth
quarreling about with the masses re-
fusing to man and to support armies.
