THE MAcYARs IN HUNGARY
How the Emperor Brought tho Re
fractory Element to His
Terms.

The New York Times thus elucidates
the recent triumph Of the old en-
peror Of Austria-Hungary over the re-
fractory Magyars by his threat Of in
PRODUCING manhood suffrage. They
have acquiesced in his autocratic rule
in the army because of 1t. The threat
was the subsection OF the ruling
classes in Hungary to the majority
of the population through manhood
suffrage This says the Times:
'Of the 45.000,000 population Of
Austria and Hungary, some 100000
are Germans, and about 100000 are
Magyars. The Germans are. though a
minority in Austria. the most infuen-
tial element, as are the Magyars in
Hungary. The immediate cause Of
the recent trouble was the claim OF
the Hungarians that their language
should be used In the words Of COM
mand addressed TO the Hungarian
troops in the imperial army. In both
Austria and Hungary the conditions
Of suffrage-property qualification and
the right of persons in certain oc-
equations to vote, together with the
cor rsentration of powers in the upper
branches Of the parliament-giye to
the Germans in Austria and to the
Magyars in Hungary a decided ad-
vantage. II was the possible with
drawal in part of this advantage that
induced the present compromise.
The solution is extremely satisfactory
50 far as the immediate future is con-
cerned. But 1t is plain that an ele-
ment has been introduced in the gov
eminent Of the two nations that may
produce serious changes. The idea OF
manhood suffrage once lodged in the
popular mind is not easily dismissed
from IL"

WHERE ROLLS The OREGON
Region Where Everyone Is Judged
by His Ability to Grow
Fruit.

There's the cooperative ideg In the
valley. You can see 1t when the d.
rectors of the Fruit Growers union
hold their weekly meeting in the lit
tie shed which forDs their headquar-
ters. says Harris Lloyd. in Outing Mag
azine. Here Chris and Hank and Ned
and Jim sit on apple boxes OF the
managers desk or lean against the
window sill while they discuss the
business the manager presents TO them
They are merely the half dozen grow
ers who have been selected to settle
the question OF prices for the com
munity and where TO ship the harvest.
They suggest to the manager what
they think is best, then hurry away
to finish up picking or spraying OF
whatever else there is on hand, leaving
him to do the rest. Sometimes there's
the question about the best kind Of
fruit to send to a certain place. VIII
it stand the climate? Win it keep long
enough?
Let US leave it to Old Man Tucker. /"
says Hank.
In comes the old man. Coatless. his
blue shirt unbuttoned at the throat.
his features literally gnarled by the
60 years he has been making the world
give him a living. He doesn't look
exactly like a man who can tell the
nice points of an apple as the palm
list tells the lines OF your hand, but
his word is the final judgment, for he
has never erred yet. Ask who he is
and you hear: why. he's the one
whose Newtown pippins are so good
that they go to Europe" And beside
him the college graduate. even the
mayor, has to take back seat. Here
in the valley he is one Of the biggest
men, even II he does come to town in
his shirt sleeves and rides a bicycle
because he hasn't time to hitch up"
Everybody is as good as his neighbor-
good enough to be called by his first
name. No matter where one has come
from or how high his former standing.
here he is measured by one thing-his
ability to grow fruit.

DAILY WATCH BIG RED BALL
Employees of Chicago City Hall Much
Interested in a New Di-
version.

City hall employees have a new diver.
sion since the destruction Of the old
county building. reports the Chicago
Daily News. 1t is watching the big
red ball which every noon makes a
quick and sensational slide down a
pole 30 feet high on top of the Ma
sonic temple. Every day two or three
minutes before noon the shining globe
is hoisted TO the top Of the pole. and
on the stroke of ~ drops At the
same minute the hands Of 100 or more
watches in the city hall are switched
to indicate exact midday.
1t has been only since the old coun-
ty building was razed that the workers
In the city hall could see the time ball
on the skyscraper nearly three blocks
away. Now department heads, stenog-
raphers, clerks and chemists all
through the city building engage daily
in watching the balls performance
and setting their watches by it's fall.
To see the sphere let loose is an event
in the day and the windows from
which good views are obtainable are
as crowded each noon as the station
platform Of a Montana village on the
arrival Of transcontinental flyer.
"Oh, pshawl" says a disappointed
young woman stenographer sometimes
Il looked away just second and now
the ball is gone. hope l have better
luck tomorrow"
Some OF the city employees who have
the habit Of watching the ball confess
to nervousness and disappointment If
they fail to get position from which
to see its descent. and say they cannot
work as we'll afternoons or days they
are deprived Of their noontime glimpse
OF the descending sphere.

PROBATION THEN MARRIAGE
Surprising Departure in Matrimonial
Alliance Instituted in
Texas.

In Texas. where people do surprising
and original things. the institution Of
marriage after probation has been in
troduced. says the New York Mail.
The thing was started by rich far
mer, who advertised for a wife. but
specified that the applicant should
serve as his housekeeper for a certain
length Of time in order that he should
have a chance TO prove her ability
and temper. II happened that the
farmer was satisfied with his first ap-
plicant and married the lady after a
brief period Of housekeeping proba-
ton.
It is to be hoped that the pair will
live happy ever after. But the real
fact is that their probation" segan
only after they were married. Mar
riage is an institution for which sue
cess in mere housekeeping is no test
at al. An excellent housekeeper may
make a very poor wife and a good
employer does not always make q
good husband.

THE WHITE PAINT OF THE
WHITE HOUSE.

The White House at Washington.
which has been the kings Palace"
Of the American People since It was
first occupied BY President Madison
In 1903. has recently undergone a
thorough course Of remodelling. reno
vation and repair. E-sTy American
citizen is owner Of an undivided
eighty or eighty-hve millionth part OF
the White House. as well as Of the
other Public Buildings and Monuments
in the Capitol City. An item in the
renovation Of the remedelled White
House was repainting. Every visitor
to Washington knows why the White
House is so called-because it is lit
orally a white house.. The exterior
paint must therefore be white. Now
while the pure white surfaces and sim
pie lines Of the White House, set in
the midst OF green lawns and beauti-
ful trees. produce a very satisfying
effect Of dignihed simplicity, white
paint from a practical point Of view.
is about the most unsatisfactory kind
Of paint that could have been selected
by the original designers. First, be-
cause any white paint is easily dis
colored by smoke and dust. and sec
ond, because ordinary white paint
itself gradually turns gray or brown
ish yellow from exposure.
But white the White House is and
white 1t must remain or II would no
longer be the white House. So the
renovators. making the best Of dis
couraging situation, sought for the
best kind OF white paint procurable.
The average citizen If asked to guess
what kind Of paint they finally decid-
ed on would probably answer-"white
lead and oil" but he would guess
wrongly The paint selected as the
best obtainable was a ready mixed
paint, such as can be bought in any
well furnished village store. such as
is used by more than half Of the
eighty or eighty-hve million owners
OF the White House on their own
homes. That one brand OF mixed
paint was used instead Of another is
a mere accidental detail-there are
fifty or a hundred brands on the
market that might have been selected
in other circumstances, and in fact,
a different brand was used In paint
ing the Capitol.
Every property owner. therefore.
who paints his house with a high
grade ready-mixed paint is following
the example set by the Government
Authorities at Washington. who used
ready-mixed paint, because they could
find nothing else as good.

Democracy variously Deined.

There are various definitions OF the
word democracy. Greece is often, and
not unreasonably, called the most dem
ocratic country in Europe, yet It has
a king and shows no sign Of wishing
to get rid Of him. Kossuth was the
leader Of the Hungarian democracy"
in seeking to establish a republic, but
the Magyars are among the most aris-
tocratic Of people. England remains
loyal to her hereditary monarchy, yet
is in some respects actually none
democratic than America. SO these
constitutional democrats in Russia are
not aiming at the immediate establish
ment Of a republic, and they are not
likely to organize an attack upon the
crown or upon the monarchicai prin-
ciple. They are striving for a consti-
tutional system under which the peo-
pule will have a voice in the govern
ment. and that is something which
they now seem Reasonably sure Of at
taining BY peaceful and amicable
means.-N. Y. Tribune.
