DISCRIMINATION. AGAINST THE
UNIFORM.

Tho progress Of the suit which has
been instituted to discover whether
or not the United States sailor or
soldier has redress In court for
being barred from place of amuse-
ment OH account of the uniform he
wears, will be watched with interest
throughout the entire country. Presi.
dent Roosevelt Secretary Donaparte
and Rear Admiral Thomas arc said
to be back OF tho movement to test
the enlisted mans rights In the prem
ises. and there can he little doubt
that the matter will be threshed out
pretty thoroughly.
The secretary OF tho navy already
has defined his stand on the question:
by Diminishing from tho public service
man whose wife refused an enlisted
man boarding house accommodations
for no other reason than that he
(, wore the uniform OF tho navy.
The boycott declared against the
uniform undoubtedly had It's origin
In tho unruly and dlsagrceable habits
OF the men who made up the army
and navy IN the old days when 1t
was a rare thing to see native
born American In either branch of
the service. In recent years there
has been remarkable change and
today the army and navy are almost
entirely made up of men who were
horn beneath the stars and stripes,
and those who have come in close
contact With them fully endorse the
complimentary references made by
President Roosevelt to the wearers
of the uniforms.
The fact that conditions have
changed. or are in the process of
changing does not displace the preju.
dices growing out of the old condi.
lions. Thus 1t will require years Of
education or else a sharp shock to
the pocket nerve to abolish the dis.
examination now shown. Meanwhile
the position of the uniform will be
much like that outlined by the poet
rs applicable to the English Tommy
Atkins:

GOOD COLORS FOR HOUSES.
1t is not generally known-not even
among painters-why certain tints
and colors wear much better than
others on houses, and the knowledge
of just what tints are best to use is,
therefore, rather hazy.
One writer on paint, in recent
book, says that experiments seem to
show that those colors which resist
or turn back the heat rays of the sun,
will protect a house better than those
which allow these rays to pass
through the film.
Thus red is a good color because 1t
turns back, or reflects, the red rays,
and the red rays are the hot rays.
In general, therefore, the warm
tones are good and the cold tones are
poor, 50 far as wear is concerned. In
choosing the color of paint for your
house, select reds, browns, grays
and olives which, considering the va
rious tones these tints will produce,
will give a wide range from which to
choose.
Avoid the harsh tints, such as cold
yellows like lemon, cold green's
(like grass green, etc. and the blues.
1t must be understood that no vir-
tue is claimed for tints in themselves,
irrespective of the materials used in
the paint. Any color will fade, and
the paint will scale off, if adulterated
white lead or canned paint is used,
but if one Is careful to use the best
white lead-sOme welEknown brand
of reliable manufacturer-and gem
uine linseed oil, the warm tints men
toned above will outwear the same
materials tinted with the cold colors.

BoYIsH MIND WAS WORKING.
Younester on His First Sail Over the
Raging Main"

None of us ever quite forget those
days-when our years were few-of
dreaming about life on the raging
main, when the imagination reveled
in pirates and plumber from state
ly galleons and valorous deeds done
on stOrm-swept decks, says writer
in the New York Times. Recollection
of this period is, at any rate sufii-
ciently vivid, so that the remark Of
a small boy could contribute ma~c-
rally to the "gayety of nations"
among the passengers on one Of the
excursion steamers running from
Manhattan across the harbor to
Coney Island.
The steamer made her way across
the bay, lodging tugs and ferryboats
fortunately meeting no pirate craft.
The passengers, escaping gladly from
the city's heat, nibbled their sand
wiches and enjoyed the breeze. The
walters moved about the deck with
their trays. The boy, just from the
inland town, where his life so far
had been spent, sat rapt and wide
eyed. If one could but know fully
the mental content" from which
sprang his words at last!
"Ma!" he cried, hoarsely, tell me
which one Of 'em is the skipper!"

AT LEAST ONE IMPROVEMENT,
Quality Had Been Added To, II Guam.
tity Was Shy,

Joel Perkins was one Of the first set
tiers in the plantation of Milton, Ok
ford county, Me. Taking up a section
of wild land, he built himself a cabin,
and each season cleared a small patch
and raised fair crop of grain and pc.
tatoes.
Other settlers came in around him,
and he was able from time to time to
sell them a portion of his surplus crop,
trusting them until they could pay.
Having no account books, he marked
with chalk on his cabin door what
they owed him.
After several years he thought he
could afford to take wife, and, find.
ing a comely lass in the neighboring
town of Bethel, he married her and
took her home.
While Joel was at work in the fields
his wife spent the time cleaning up the
house. One night, on his return, she
called his attention to what she had
done, especially to the inside of the
cabin door.
"Oh, Mary" he cried, you have
rubbed out all my accounts agin the
neighbors, and | don't know what !
shall do"
"Oh, never mind, Joel" she said
you can mark it all down again"
He made no reply, but, taking a
piece of chalk, covered the door once
more with figures and, with a sigh, sat
down.
There, Joel" exclaimed Mary, ~

Robespierre,s Change Of Heart,

Robespierre, of the French revolu.
ton, the man who was destined to
deluge France with blood, was, not
long before his frightful career OF
power began, one of the most strenu
Gus opponents of capital punishment.
While he was still an obscure advocate
at his native Arras he threw up an an.
pointment because of his opposition to
this form of penalty. And Just when
his star was in the ascendant he bold
ly harangued the national assembly to
prove that the punishment of death
Is essentially unjust, that 1t has no ten.

GIVES BABIES BANK ACCOUNTS.
Mains Man Starts One for Every
Child Born in His Town.

The financial world has surely not
hitherto had much startling news to
chronicle Of Thomas Dinsmore, of Pal
ermo, Kennebec county, Maine, says
the American Banker. That gentle
man has not surprised the commu-
nifty into throes of admiration by the
establishment of hero funds nor the
foundation of any libraries. He has
not been identified with any huge cor
poration engaged in cornering the
earth, for the earth's good, no doubt,
nor has he purchased highly priced
works of art and presented them to
an ungrateful country that insists
upon his paying duty on the gifts.
But in a way Mr. Dinsmore seems
to have cornered all the praise and
gratitude in his locality and he GER
tainly has a monopoly in his parucu-
lar industry.
At present he is engaged busily in
presenting new bankbooks showing a
five dollar deposit to each new baby
which arrives in his community. 1t
will be seen at once that this is not
only excellent for the banks and fine
for the babies, but it will in all like
lihood prevent any appreciable tend
ency toward race suicide.
Some time ago Mr., Dlnsmore be-
gan the practice Of presenting every
school graduate with new handbook
and one dollar. The good work of this
gentleman is necessarily limited, but
he has sounded the depths of the coun-
try's need Not by railing against
capital and capitalists nor preaching
equality and the equal distribution OF
property will the evil OF huge
money concentration be remedied. By
teaching foresight and judicious saw
ing to the children and intoxicating a
spirit of desire of possession in the
beginning of their education he will
do more toward increasing the aver
age wealth of the people than any
other project yet put forth.
Massachusetts, a fairly conservative
state, calculates that its people save
on an average SO cents a week
each. The absurdity of such a figure
in the face of the extremely high rate
of wages is patent to every sensible
person. 1t is high time that the cit
liens of the country began to realize
that more economy, thrift and indus.
try on their part would change the
conditions which they consider dan
ger to the nation. Careful considera.
ton of the subject will show that
these qualities are what made the
other mans fortune for the most part,
| Therefore, of vital use to the mental,
moral and financial condition of the
coming generation is the good work
Mr.. Dinsmore is doing In Maine among
children. Teach them that handbook
is sign of responsibility, Decrease
the tendency to squander the whole
of the income on Injuries without re-
gard to future needs and possible
wants, and the soCialistic as well as
the monetary conditions of the coun-
try will show an immediate improve
ment.

wa.hlnrton. D. O. Auruat sOth.-A

Washington, D, O., August soth'-A
determined effort will be made at the
next session Of congress to prevent
another appropriation for the free dis
tribution of common garden seeds
Congress now expends $242,000 a year
in giving away the commonest varie
ties of peas, beans, turnip, squash and
pumpkin seeds. They are divided into
10000 900 packets so that the packets
cost about half a cent each. But as
a large part of the appropriation is
expended in clerk hire, packeting the
seed, etc, the actual value Of the
seed in a packet Is much less than
half cent. These packets are put
up in packages of five packets, the
total cost of the packages being about
two cents each, and they are purchas'
able anywhere at five cents. Each
member of congress gets 1900 such
packages, which he distributes to the
voters of his district.
The farmers say that these pack,
ages contain so little seed as to be OF
no value to them, while the total ap.
preparation, II expended in sending
out really rare and valuable seed, or
in maintaining a national agricultural
college, or divided among the state
agricultural colleges, would be of i'm,
mense value TO the farming interests.
They therefore protest against the
waste Of public money. The seeds
men claim that as congress has al
ready expended $5,000,000 in giving
away turnip and watermelon seed, ii
is time 1t should give away saws, axes
or hoes and give the seed trade a rest
Those who believe that congress
should cut off this parquisite of its
members now used for political pur
poses, are writing their senators and
representatives, urging them to abol
sh the free seed distribution, and the
National Grange, many state and local
oranges, horticultural, agricultural
and other societies are adopting reso
utions condemning it. Mr.. William
Wolff Smith of Washington, D, G., has
been selected to represent the oppo
sition to the congressional free seed
distribution, and is personally answer.

Suffered for "White Lie"

Is a white lie ever justified? That

married one of the inhabitants, had
two children and prospered One day
neighbor called when the rabbits
wife was washing her head, and the
rabbi going to the door, was seized
by false modesty and said that she
had gone out. Thereupon both of his
children died, and, as no one died in
that city before reaching old age, the
neighbors made inquiries, the rabbi
confessed what he had done, and was
ordered to leave the city Immediately
