TIME AND PATIENCE.

There is an old Chinese proverb to the effect that with time and patience the mulberry leaf becomes silk" and so it is. Almost from the time they are matched the little worms begin feeding on the tender leaves of the mulberry. and hardly cease till they are grown, Then each one weave for itself a CO., coon and it's work is done, so far as that work relates to silk manufacture. Then man comes in with his skill and experience and machinery and the gos- samer web woven by the insect is con verted into delicate thread or simmer ing cloth. Without the patience and industry of the ugly worm there would be no raw silk. and without mans skill and industry there would be no finished thread or silken garments. The man and the worm are not partners. in the ordinary sense of the term. but each is a necessary part of the combination.
 And so 1t is in another and far differ ent field of human industry. In the great mines the rough iron orc lies in darkness till the miner digs 1t up. That is the first step, but from that step the process is continuous and pro- gressive until finally a portion of that rough ore is transformed into delicate watch springs and other articles as diff ferent from the original as the finest ribbon differs from the rough cocoon of the silk-worm. Man takes up the work where the insect left or and carries 1t forward to perfection. and man takes the ore where nature left off and fin ishes 1t into the most delicate forms. With the worm and the man. time and patience accomplish wonders

Millions of dollar must go for supplies. and if the trusti do not get the contracts. even at ma terially higher prices. they will be apt to make 1t interesting for those who are responsible for the failure. What dissatisfaction, and the President. as umpire. will get 1t going and coming. We don't envy him his job

InpalIs's rntnI sarcasm.

The late Senator Ingalls, was una hle to restrain his propensity to in dulge in sarcasm. This habit eventual lv lost him his place and his popular ity. On one occasion an intimate friend wrote 10 him urging the appointment of another friend to position under the government. To this letter the Senator returned A very sarcastic an swer. and received the following re- ply: My Dear Senator-I think t would be well for you to reserve your sarcasm for the rapidly increasing number of your enemies. instead of offering it to the decreasing number of your friends. of whom I am one It is said Mr. Ingalls, never forgot the rebuke, but 1t was too late.

WILL BLAME THE UMPIRE.
Discussing the matter of purchasing ard has the following reflections:

Discussing the matter of purchasing Canal supplies. The New Bedford Stand ard has the following reflections:
 The House Ways and Means Commit tee has decided, by strict party vote to report favorably the resolution re- stricting the purchases in connection with the Panama Canal to articles of where the President may deem the bids or tenders extortionate or unrea- scnable.' If this language had been framed by the opposition, and was to he endorsed by an opposition Congress we should say unhesitatingly that it was designed for that purpose which is dent in hole" If he accepts a for eign offer under its terms he will be in the disagreeable position of having to say that the American bidders are accepts an American bid where there is any substantial difference in the price the country will be flooded with mathe- matlcal computations to demonstrate how much he might have saved the taxpayers if he had looked out first for their interests and less for the trusts While on it's face, the resolu- tion gives him free choice, in reality it could not have been more cunninglv de- vised to make him the prey of dis agreeable dilemas; perhaps its aqthors tu carry their share-for eventually this resolution will unquestionably cut a considerable figure in the tariff dis cussion.
 We can easily see how the President will find himself "between the devil and the deep blue sea-" If the respon- sibilitv is all placed on him to decide on prices to be paid. While our own impression is that he will stretch his authority so as to give the contracts to American firms, we may be mistaken. Admitting that he will be strictly i'm partial and that he will not favor American producers and manufacturers to the detriment of the work and the

The Passing of Matrimony. Charlotte Perkins Gilman. in Harner',


 It Is woman's refusal to marry. and woman's restiveness In marriaEe-for the immense majority of our dIvorces are asked for by the wife-which so alarm us today For bs,th these facts there Is the. same explanation: the character Of our woDnen is chan npin Q faster than the character of matrie mony The women of the past were as children compared with the women of today. Some few great names there al- ways were to show what was possihIe to the sex; but the majority were ignorant weak. and absolutely isolated Today m America our women are as well educated as men in many cases. often even more so: and then wide reading and general acquaintance with facts nf IlIe; past and present. together with Tapldly increasing organization among them, gives them a character and cour- age previously unknown.
 This change Is not, as some thinkers claim. morbid demand for masculine power and privilege. It has nothing to do with sex It is the development of the humanness in woman
