The PIutocratic Cough.

Coughs and colds appear to be plu-
tocratic ailments" remarked an OBJ
servant young man yesterday. This
fact was impressed upon me the other
evening, when I attended a working
mans meeting. l was struck by the
silence which prevailed during the
evening, there being none of the
coughing which is so disturbing at
most indoor assemblages at this sea-
son of the year. The audience was
composed of the class who are used to
roughing it at their work and at
home, and to this 1 attributed their
immunity from coughs and colds.
could not help remarking the freedom
of this audience from throat and lung
affections, because the evening before
| had attended one of the leading
theaters and 1t was almost impossible
to follow the lines at times on account
of the chorus of coughing. Yet the
theater audience was composed of the
well-to-do class, whose health is sup
posedly safeguarded by comfort. 1t
seems to me that the pampering they
are subjected to leaves them suscep-
tible to coughs and colds. -Philadel-

How to Make a Canary Sing.

Generally any kind of soft, sibilant
noise will tempt bird to sing. A
canary hung in kitchen will usually
start his song if he hears, say, the
frizzling Of the frying pan. We utilize
special devices to tempt the shy sing
err, who is, perhaps, rendered the
more bashful by finding himself in
novel surroundings. For this purpose
we employ whistles and song organs
which artificially reproduce the
tours" of the roller. This latter
method is found to be irresistible
when all other plans have failed. The
bird feels apparently that he is being
challenged, and forthwith responds
to the challenge by pouring forth the
best of his song.

Russia Still FIShti7lG.

Il
LATEST accounts from Russia indicate that there
is no immediate danger of revolution occurring.
The people, especially the revolutionary party
busy filling the places of those leaders who have been
arrested and deported. The autocracy are devoting
great part of their time in bostering up their tot
tering throne; and the and his immediate advis-
ers busy filling the vacancies of those who have
been assassnated by bomb throwers in the various
provinces.
Since the agitation for constitutional govern
ment the nobility of Russia has suffered severely;
but the people, altho repeatedly checked by Cossack
sabers, stubbornly demanding what they consider
their natural rights, direct voice in the
of the empire This is reasonable demand and
they must eventually win despite the reactionary
policy that has been inaugurated repeatedly.
Just at present the car seems to be hampered
with too many poor advisers Most of them think
more of their individual interests than they do of
that of their country. This has always been the
principal stumbling block in every nations progress
in the past The opposition in this country is
a paramount factor in checking needed reforms.
Still, Russia is walking toward the light of reason
Perhaps in few years she will adopt many of those
principles that are being rejected At that time
there may be wiser statesmen at the head of the
eminent than there is today-statesmen who are con-
structionists of national scope, and not petty
individualists.

Refusing Drinkers.
EMPLOYERS thruout the country are still insist
ing on refusing responsible positions to those who
are known to be habitual drinkers of spirituous
liquors. few years ago when publicity was given
to such order, many persons ridicued the propo-
sition. They thought it spasm of righteousness
that would soon become evanescent dream, or

Since then the movement has assumed national

corn had to submit to the inevitable. Nowadays
there few responsible positions open to the lush
err. Those that still open are getting fewer in
number each year This state of affairs is not wholly
due to the efforts of the w. G. T. u butdue to sound
business principles. Experience we presume, has
taught employers that hard drinkers were losing
investment. Of course the man who INDUCES occa-
sionay is safe; but the sot, the no-account man, is
being crowded to the wall rather harshly.

The National Milners' Association is advocating
radical change in headgear for the masculine sex
The president Of this organization says that change
is to take place, and believes that mems hats
should be more ornamental something on the order
of the sixteenth century style. This proposition,
coming from such source, looks as if the milliners
were trying to boom their business
The consensus of opinion is that good many
men are conceited sufficiently without the addition
of picture hat. When these hats are adopted. per-
haps mankind, at least many of them, will want to
wear side arms, fight dues, etc. If organization
succeeds in creating demand for ornamental hats,
we hope prisoners will be exempt. However, there

The youthful spouse, realizing that
the situation called for an application
of those principles of economy and d.

expatiated upon by her husband, was
hard put to 1t for while. The hus-
bands intended movements were to be
such that she could not write him a let

TIMBER ACT WILL REMAIN
Work OF Congressman French Pre-.
vented its Repeal.

Washington, March 15-The COM
mittee on public lands of the house of
representatives. of which Congressman
French is a member, few days ago,
defeated the bill providing for the re-
peal of the stone and timber act. The
defeat Of this measure in the commit
tee is due principally to Congressman
French and Congressman Mondell Of
Wyoming.
AT the beginning Of the present ses-
sion of congress 1t was thought that
the stone and timber act would be re-
pealed without much opposition, and
as stated the change in the sentiment
OF the committee is due principally to
Mondell and French. The principal ar
gument of those favoring the repeal is
that the law has resulted in the great
land frauds that have been so preva-
lent in the west for the last few years.
While those opposing the repeal
claim 1t Is good law and especially
beneficial to settlers. Another fact
that had great weight with the COM
millions Of dollars now comprising the
irrigation fund, 1t is claimed that
twelve millions Of this came to the ir-
rigation fund from the sales under the
stone and timber law. This fact is
doubtless the cause of the hard work
done by French and Mondell as they
represent states largely benefited by
irrigation and permanently large ir-
rigation fund.
