OSTRACISM.
The Coast.

Ostraeism There is no weapon
adapted to the hand of man, which is
SO terrible in use as ostracism. Man
only lives when enjoying the COM
pany of another. He is made, consti-
tuted and especially adapted for socie-
ty. Understanding and speech are his
for the complete certainty and delight
of companionship. Animals associate
aud grow together, but man COM
munes and understands together. The
mind and heart can uplift the body.
Sympathy can soften the iercest pain.
A word of hope can often hberate a
human soul shackled to despair. The
very being of man thrives and grows
in society. Religion, education, poll
tics, industry, business and all hu-
man occupations aud activities depend
upon it and are existent through it.
Society is all there is to man and
without society man is dead. What q
horrible deathl To see, to hear, to
feel, to crave, to grasp, and yet to
be cut off To ask, to beseech, to
beg, to long for and be passed unnotic-
ed, to be stunned, to be spurned To
be sent away, to be rejected, to be
cast off, alonel All alonel That is
ostracism. That is hell The inn
position of it implies criminality and
designates the one ostracised as fit for
punishment. 1t is the implement
which drives a degraded soul further
down and renders damnation more
certain, with recovery less probable.
Ostracisml Would that the power of
man was unable to exert such an emo
tion aud that it were past human will
to express it. 1t is only a fiendish
attribute, which has hatred for its
sponsor and hell for its existence and
the only time that misery is truly
apparent is when it is displayed.

Take look at the United States
during the past year; observe the con-
ditions of peace and plenty and almost
universal happiness; note what the
American farmers have done for
themselves and others by producing
over six billion dollars worth of food
stufs and other valuaqle commodities,
and then contrast the results with
what comes from pursuit of glory at
the cannon's mouth and quarrels
over the balance of power If the
wicked politicians, so called states
men and ambitious generals and ad-
mirals will only keep their hands off,
the farmer will keep the whole world
we'll fed, prosperous and happy.
Meantime all will agree with the poet
Shelley, that the time is coming when
humanity will 'look back and shud-
der at its younger years. 1t might
also we'll shudder at its later years, as
it is now old enough to know better,
and hang its head with shame to see
all lands still resounding with the
tramp of armed men and the seas filled
with monster battleships.

The Chinese have assumed SO much
of threatening attitude toward all
foreigners that arrangements are be-
ing made quietly by all the govern
ments having citizens there to be
prepared for an emergency. The
authorities at Washington have ar
ranged to have some vessels OH hand.
1t was intended to order the battle
ship Oregon back home, but it has
been determined to leave her on the
Chinese station for the present. More
over, the movement of troops to the
Philippines is being hurried in order
that sudden outbreak in China may
not catch us unprepared. 1t is to be
hoped no trouble will occur making
it necessary to send in troops to rescue
Americans and other foreigners. but
if it becomes necessary it will have to
be undertaken vigorously.

Thousands of farmers answered the
advertisement of a man who offered
to sell "a receipt for making pound
of butter from a pint of milk and a
teaspoonful of our preparation. OF
course anyone should have been able
to see that such an offer was fraud
on its very face, and it is marvellous
that any person, however green,
should have bit at such transparent
bait. All schemes offering short cuts
to wealth and new ways to do old
things should be regarded with sus-
picion and followed by the Missouri
ans demand of "show me. !"

TARIFF REVISION FOR CONSUMERS
Portland Oregonian.

Ii, as reported, majority of the
senate IS opposed to the Philippine
tariff bill, there is very small reason
for hope that it will pass. The pro-
tracted struggle in the house has
apparently failed to accomplish any
thing beyond supplying work for the
government printers and perhaps in
creasing the activities of the sugar
and tobacco trust lobbies One pecu-
liar feature of the discussion over the
Philippine tariff was the mild interest
shown in any other commodities than
sugar, rice and tobacco. This par
ticular bill, of course, covered only
products grown in the Philippines, the
commercial status of which is slightly
different from that of products of
countries with which we have no
political connection. At the same
time, the effort to give the Filipinos
their just dues could come under no
other head than that of tariff revis-
ion," and the manner in which the
subject was discussed failed to dis
close much of disposition to permit
this revision to cover wide range.
Throughout the discussion there was
apparent indifference to the interests
of consume RS. We were assured that
the sugar trust and the southern plant
ers had no grounds for complaint, be"
cause it had been proven, in the case
of Cuba, that the price of sugar in the
United States would be unaffected by
change in the tariff. This may be
good argument for modifying the feel
ings of sugar manufacturers, but it is
not the kind of tariff revision that
the consumer is in need of. 1t has
apparently escaped attention of the
able politicians who are so glibly dis
cussing tariff revision that the con-
sumers constitute much larger class
than all others combined, and that
they have rights in the matter that
cannot be forever ignored
The country just at this time is en-
joying unparalleled prosperity. There
is work at good wages for all who
seek it. Under such circumstances
there is less of feeling of unrest
over the injustice of the tariff than
there is when times are hard and work
is scarce. There is nothing in the
history of the past, or the outlook for
the future, to warrant belief that we
will not again suffer a relapse which
always follows period of high pres
sure prosperity. When that relapse
comes, and idle or poorly paid men
feel the weight of high-tariff- protect
ed prices, there will come demand
for the real thing in tariff revision,
and. if the party in power fails to
heed that demand, it will suffer
smashing defeat at the polls.
The time to call halt in this mat
ter is long overdue. and it is to be re
gretted that there is very little in the
tariff discussion over the Philippine
! bill to indicate that thought had been
given to the wishes or rights of the
consumer. If his rights are too long
neglected, there will be elimination
of party lines that will surprise some
of the protected interests which have
been cracking the party whip for SO
long.

ATHENA, JANUARY 26, 1906

The correspondent of French
paper, who had exceptional opportuni-
ties for observing the daily life of the
japanese soldiers at the front and in
the field of action, dwells at length
upon the freedom Of these men not
only from intemperence, but from
other vices which sap the strength
and impair the fighting qualities. He
draws sharp contrast between these
conditions and those which he found
prevailing in the Russian camps,
where drinking orgies and other
shameless indulgences were the regu-
lar order, especially in the officers
quarters, and he affirms it as his con-
viction that the unvarying success
and the remarkable victories won by
the japanese forces were largely due
to the self control and clear headed
ness which their rule of temperance
in all things gave to them. We be-
lieve this to be emphatic ally true.
The worst enemies the Russians had
were in their rear-vodka, illiteracy,
licentiousness These worked to
their undoing as much as the cour-
age, intelligence and marvellous
efficiency of their foes in front.

and Also Economical.

A cook the other day accidentally
cots, she found that she had more
iuice-which was really a thick sirup
so much sugar had ben used-than
she wished to send to the table with

hot apricot juice, to which she had
added a very little-half a teaspoonful
bitter almond extract When the
geatine was thoroughly dissolved and
mixed with the juice, she poured the
mixture in a mold, using for the pur'
pose one OF the cake tins that have
huted sides and hole in the mid
die, The next day she carefully re
moved the jelly to a rich darkblue
platter, where 1t looked very pretty
with its orange coloring The hole
in the center was filled with whipped
cream, and a dessert sent to the fam
lily that cost almost nothing OF either
money or labor OF course ring

Drain the juice away from the fruit,
