THE SCARLET EMPIRE.

In his recent novel, The Scarlet Empire" David M. Parry carries out to the very last term the leveling tend encies of socialism. His characters live on the island of Atlantis under the sea, where a thoroughgoing social de- mOcracy is in active operation. The state regulates everything-just how much it regulates will be indicated by the following summary of the laws: citizen shall be given a state num- Der instead of a name. He shall receive from the state kitch- en three-quarters of a pound of food per day.
 No citizen shall weigh over one hun dred and ten pounds, or exceed five feet in height.

 Desk drawers have an irritating habit of shifting their contents to the rear and even forcing them over a back boundary and into oblivion. This can be remedied by putting in partitions at right angles to the line of the draw CTS action-parallel to the front edge of the desk. Sometimes subdivisions are convenience, but at any rate the carpenter who does the work should adapt the main divisions to the ar ticles most frequently stored-paper of various sizes, and envelopes, for in- stance.
 Some books are used so often that the work of thumb indexing them is well invested. Among such are: Book of rates, schedules and computations. gazetteers and atlases, books of syn onyms and notebooks. filed and saved for reference. In indexing a book, di- vide the length of the pages, from top to bottom. by the number of divisions you want to make. This gives the length of each panel or index. Now separate the pages that make the di- vision from the other pages by a thick cardboard and cut away strip along the edge from one-quarter to a half inch wide, beginning at the bottom of the page and cutting to the lower boundary of the first panel Sever the strip here by a cross incision and the first indice Is ready for lettering The others are made in the same way. sep arating the leaves to be indexed marking the panel, and cutting away the superfiuous paper. The lettering on the index may be done with a pen or by pasting letters shipped from magazines on the tabs.

WHY SOCIALISM FAILS.
Tom Watson Points Out The Funda-
 mental Error of The System.

No matter how much differene, there may be in the Tommorrow of Socialism. in it's Today when all it shall be inaugurated as a system, all things must be owned collectively, and that means that the high and the low come to a common level the good and the bad start even; the idle and the industrious share and share alike: the lliterate and the learned, the capable and the incompetent, the fool and the wise man. the virgin and the troll, the negro and the white, all come to the Universal Brotherhood pot and ladle out an equal porringerful of pottage.
 God What a sordid. sickening dead-leveli What an enforced equal izing of all men and all women. in world where God never made tw 7. grains Of sand, two leaves of the for est, two birds of the air. two fish of the sea, two beasts of the field, exactly equal
 Only in a political sense can anyone even dream of two men being equal for our eyes. our common sense. tell us that such a thing as equality in strength, capacity. character or in the elements and achievements of man. hood has no existence among men.
 Socialism proceeds upon the idea that equality is there. or can be put there. and the effort to prove that the idea is correct has been made time and again and again. It was not only tried am0nG the Ancients, but 1t has been tried in modern times and 1t was tried h" the colonies who first settled in North America.
 Failure, dismal failure has been the result of every experiment. Why2 Because. human nature is radically, eternally different from what the So- cialist assumes it to be-
 If all were equal and all were good Socialism would be unnecessary, even from the standpoint of the Socialist.
 Give us absolute equality and unI- versal goodness. and we don't need anything but a little time to reach an equal distribution of wealth and an era of Peace on Earth and Good Will to Men.-Watson's Magazine for May.

youth up. Perhaps it is the fact of that very triteness that has bred a certain disregard of the fundamental need of something besides the public school to fit a boy for business life.
 In the large cities, says the Bulletin of the American Institute of Bank Clerks, we are constantly inducting boys into business paths fresh from the best public schools. with a good record as pupils, with plenty of ener- gy and ambition and with an adapta- bility which is gratifying. These boys grasp the ropes and, to all ap- pearances. are advancing steadily on the road to preferment, when suddenly to the dismay of employer and parent alike. they fall, go down and out, with stain on their characters that only dishonesty can make and that will handicap them in their future career.
 Another, but the same sort of boy, more fortunate in his early surround ings and less exposed to temptations may go from promotion to promotion until he dominates a business or line of business and his success and posi- tion may even eclipse his personality Then, at the head of great corporate and perhaps syndicate interests, there come rumors of gambling, disgraceful social relations or some other fall from the standards of respecting and honorable business life, and the noblesse oblige of great financial ad- ministration.
 All the same, sooner or later, the hole in the mans character has been found and the collapse of a career or reputation ensues. Where lies the fault? The home training, the boy hood schooling and the youthful asso- citations and ideals were defective. True manliness must be evolved ear Her in the history of our business bound youth. The standards Of honor. too low and neglected in the hustle and rush of American life. must be learned, accepted and made an integral part of the youths makeup. before he reaches the exchange, the counting room or the bank. IL is the training and the breeding that cultivate honor and trust, as between boy and boy. respect and difference as between youth and age, and a keen sense of re- sponsibility all through life that must be depended on to give us really great business leaders in the coming gener- ation.

ORIGIN OF THE CHINESE QUEUE.

The custom of shaving the forehead and wearing the back hair long and braided in a queue, is now so firmly established in China as to be quite uni versaL Yet it has obtained for some
 thing less than 300 years only, and is
 of peculiar origin. When the Tartar
 tribes of the north invaded the Flowery Kingdom and completely subdued the inhabitants of the country, they decreed that all Chinamen should wear their hair in this style as a badge of servi- tude. The rule was so vigorously en- forced that it has become a firmly es- tablished custom. and in fact, a China man who fails to comply with it is treated with contempt and life for him
 in the Celestial empire would be un-
 bearabIe.
 The face of the Celestial is general ly clean shaved as we'll as the fore
 head, mustaches and boards being per mitted only under certain conditions.
 A mustache indicates that its wearer
 is a grandfather, and each other style has it's own significance. The peculiar style of headdress makes the Chinese | barber a man of considerable import ance and his strange methods are in teresting. The barbers in the Orient not only shave the face and forehead and braid the queues of their custom CTS. It is also part of their art to clean | their ears and remove the hairs that grow inside the opening.
 The shaving is done with a razor much like those at home, except that | 1t is without a handle, and, being l somewhat dull, it becomes a case of persistent scraping. This operation is | performed without moisture or lather, and must be extremely irritating. A Chinaman must be regular in his | patronage of his barber as it is diff | cult to imagine a more repulsive hu- man being than a Celestial with a two- | days growth of thick black hair on his 1 forehead. and, although they may neg l lect all other attractions to their per- sons, the Chinese seldom fail to take | religious care of their heads and beard.
 A few of the Chinese barbers have | regular establishments, where they await the coming of their customers, but most of them are of the itinerant 1 variety.

SOME LITTLE DESK TRICKS"

Sometimes the little problems in an occupation are the ones that make the most trouble-probably because they are too small to be isolated and solved as more important questions would be. The following suggestions concerning the desk-wOrker's tools and equipment are guaranteed to be practical solu- tions of some of these little troubles they are furnished by Paul E. Triem:
 Did you ever notice the difficulty in keeping pens in order after they were mounted in holders and ready for use ? Sometimes 1t is necessary to have pens for various purposes, fine pens and coarse pens, possibly several of each, and those for red ink. The obsolete spiral spring was never available for desk use on account of its awkward ness. battery cell 31ax7 inches on the bottom and four inches high makes a good receptacle for pens and pencils

PIKE CENTENNIAL
 PROGRAM ARRANGED

An outline of the program to be ob- served in Colorado Springs. the last week in next September indicates that the centenary celebration planned will be the greatest of the kind ever held in the country. The one hundreth an niversary of the discoverey of Pike's Peak by Zebulon Montgomery Pike is the occasion. and the military and civ ic features give ample range for novel effects. The executive committee has taken every advantage of the unique conditions to arrange a spectacle that will appeal to all.

The program has been arranged to present an allegor- teal picture of the state from the ad- vent of General Pike to the present day. It will be of peculiar interest to the people of the east, many of whom yet entertain the idea that Colorado is the home of only the buffalo and saw age Indian tribes. The celebration will serve to demonstrate to the entire country that Colorado, although one of the youngest states, is one of the great est in the union.

SCHOOL HOUSES BUILT OF PET.
 RlFIED LOGS.

New England, N. D., possesses what is probably the most remarkable school house in the country. The structure is twenty-four feet square, one story in height and built entirely of petrified wood except the roof, which Is shin gled.
 The wood of the ancient forests which covered the prairies of Hettinger coun- ty has become agatized and in the ab- sence of other building material the people of this place determined to erect their primitive educational institution of this beautiful petrificatiOn.
 Great care has been exercised in the construction of the school house, so that the material shows off to the best advantage, and when the sun shines the building glistens like crystaI.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

MILLIONS IN FARM MORTGAGES.

Western farmers have grown rather paticular about their indebtedness One of the common requirements of the modern mortgage is that the mortga- gee shall accept any portion of the principal at the time of any interest payment This means that the har- vesting of a good wheat crop. or the fortunate sale of a bunch Of cattle. may wipe out the debt. and the loan agent must find another borrower. However. one insurance company has S4OOO0 GOO in western farm mortgaE-s and the interest thereon Is sufficient to pay all its death losses. Another com pany has S99 0O0 900 fin these loans scattered over the Mississippi valley. The larger sums are in Illinois. with about S2S, ,0O0 900; Minnesota. with s1O.OO0. 900; Missouri SI1. .00O. 900. Iowa S10. roo 900; Ohio. 5000 900. and lesser amounts in a dozen other states It places approximately 4.0o0 farm mort gage loans every year. and has in it's history loaned S25O. .0OO. 900 in this way with practically no loss. A report in the Annals Of the American Academy of Science gives the amount or mort gages held by the life insurance com panies at S4S0. .632. sos. or IF per cent of the companies assets This. hoWev-
