HOW ALsACE-LoRRAINE Is HELD

Herr Stephany. the member of the
German imperial police who was in
trusted with the arrangement OF the
kaiser's secret visit to the Paris ex-
position in 1900. has written a book
which Is causing a great sensation
and even a greater uneasiness in the
Fatherland. It Is entitled THE Ger
manization of Alsace-Lorraine and
German Police Methods" says the
New York Times.
The ex-police official begins by
stating that, in spite OF every means
OF coercion. 90 per cent of the natives
Of Alsace-Lorraine are at heart still
French. Although the Berlin author
tiles may not be aware OF this fact,
the police Of the two provinces are
perfectly cognizant of IT, and the re-
suit is a system Of spying. perhaps,
without parallel in Europe.

crosses the frontier into France.

Can you tell twixt the old and the

FRISCO AND CHICAGO.

Some interesting comparisons be-
tween the great fires of Chicago and
san Francisco are now being insti-
tuted. Chicago set out TO raise ST.
100000 for San Francisco and has
done so. At the time of the Chicago
fire in 1871, san Francisco people
sent 100000 for relief and this now
goes back multiplied by 10. But the
California city was then less than
one-tenth as large as Chicago is now.
1t is worth noting. too, that the re-
lief money received by Chicago from
individual and voluntary contribu-
uons, at the time of the fire aggre-
gated only ss,5OO,OOO. while already
over s2O,0OO,OOO has been raised for
San Francisco and S4.4O6,24S put in
hihe hands of the committee up to
date The latter city. moreover, will
receive three or four times as much
insurance money as Chicago did.

received. The matter of financing
the rebuilding of the ,ity will proba-
bly, be undertaken as private enter
prise and not as at first suggested a
IHrrVement on the part of the general
government.
The schemes for inv oking the aid
of the general government have not
appealed seriously to those who have
had charge Of the matter.
Such a plan would open the way
TO misrhievous precedents. 1t has
been pointed out that aid from the
state would be more favorable plan.

THE PASTORAL .NAvAJos.

The Navajos are pastoral, patri-
archal, semi-nomaGic people. Their
whole culture and development CEN
ters in their flocks. Their reservation
of 12.OOO square miles is desert,
broken w.th 'Hou0tain and mesa. on
the mesa ANA low mountains there are
considerable arece of pinon and cedar
and on the higher mountains a limited
area of beautiful pine forests. over
this region the Navajos drive their
flocks. At the season when the slight
rainfall gives even a scant pasturage
on the desert plains, the flocks are
the lower levels is both burned with
the hot scorching sun and exhausted
with pasturage, the flocks are taken
up into the higher mountains, where
there is more moisture.
Again as The deep winter SHOWS
come on the sheen must be taken
down out of thes4nountains to escape
them. During this time they are
kept on the wooded mesa. where
there is less snow. and a plentiful
supply of wood, of which there is
none on the plains below. Year in
and year out the Navajo flocks are
driven back and forth from plain to
mountain-top. mesa and foothills
While the Navajo's life is a wan
dering one, he is not what could be
called a true nomad. His zone of
wandering is limited; on the same
grounds his father and fathers father
have kept their flocks. The average
Navajo could not guide you to exceed
so miles. Last season the writer
had with him two Navajo men of mid
die age, who had lived their lives
within a days ride of the mouth of
Canyon de Chiefly, and this was the
first time they had travelled the entire
length of the canyon. This seems
strange, from the fact that it is
most remarkably scenic spot. and the
larger part Of the great wealth of
Navajo legendary lore centers in this
canyon.
The Navajo family usually has three
homes. the location Of which is de-
termined by the necessities Of their
life. one is the summer home. where
they grow their small crops Of corn
and vegetables. This farming they do
in the narrow sand washes. where. by
planting to a great deapth, they get
sufficient moisture to mature the
crops. In a few limited areas they
have irrigated farms. In the Canyon
de Chiefly, which may be termed the
garden of the reservation" there are
tiny irrigated farms and splendid
peach orchards.-E. 5. Curtis in the
May Scrihner's.

Digestion furnishes nutrition for the
nerve centers. Properly digested food
furnishes these reservoirs of life with
vitality which leads to strong, steady
nerves, and thus nourishes life.
Peruna is in great favor among
women, especially those who have voca-
tions that are trying to the nerves.
Peruna furnishes the lasting vigor
for the nerves that such people need.
Thousands OF testimonials from
women in all parts Of the United States
are being received every year. Such
unsolicited evidence surely proves that
Peruna is without an equal as a nerve
tonic and vital invigorator.

LET THE WOMEN VOTE.

In the Pacific Monthly for May,
c. l.. $. Wood in his department of
impressions" makes the following
eloquent and unanswerable plea for
equal suffrage:
And the woman sutfragists are
here. too, says Mr.. Wood. 1t is not
the men who keep women from their
rights. Woman herself In the multi
tude loves her helplessness and op-
poses her emancipation.
The hand which rocks the cradle
could in a generation sweep the coun-
try with its homemade converts, If
the hand" had any mental concep-
ton of what it is all ABOUT, or any
real desire for the voting power. But
the cradle-rocking hand" hasn't, as
an average an idea above beef. coal.
bargain counters and jealousy.
II the vote on the question were
left wholly to women, woman suf-
frage would surely be defeated. The
great argument in favor OF it is not
that 1t will make politics purer and
better; but that it is demanded by
that quality which is justice.
Woman shares with man the whole
burden of the state. she bears and
rears the soldiers and the laborers.
She contributes by domestic labor to
the income and resources of the
states.
There is a growing class of inde-
pendent women who own their prop
erty and manage business affairs
Even were it true, which it is not. it
is no argument to say women are rep
resented by their fathers. brothers
and husbands. The great Law Of
equal justice requires that they have
this political power in their own
right. ......-.
1t is simply silly to say only bad
and ignorant women vote when they
have a chance. and it opens their in
teIlectual eyes. As women are in
fact purer than men, so their influx
will make politics purer, but this is
not the real point, nor will the diff
ference, in my opinion, be very great
The real point is that now every
male blackguard and ignOramus can
vote if he wants to. ana no woman,
however cultured and intelligent, can
vote II she wants TO. Neither good
nor bad women now have a chance to
vote. Give all of them the chance all
men have and justice will have been
done. 1t will then be a woman's own
fault and choice tjust as it is now
mans If she stays away from the
polls
With the chief argument that she
will be insuted at the polls and the
fine gloss of her femininty worn
away l have little patience. If our
men are a mob to insult women, let
us deprive them of every right in
cident to manhood. I have never con-
ceived n half-baked intellect and an
naremic docility and imbecllity to be
true womanhood.
Neither womanhood nor manhood
is lost by freedom. Much that is mis-
taken for womanhood is sodden ia-
norance and pitiful helplessness.

81 am glad to write my endorse
n1enf of the great remedy, Peruna,
as q nerve tonic. do SO most
heartily. "--Juiia Mariowe.

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to anemic
nerve centers. The nerve centers are
the reservoirs of nervous vitality. These
centers become bloodless for want Of
proper nutrition.
This is especially true in the spring
season. Every spring host of invalids
are produced as the direct result of weak
nerves.
This can be easily obviated by using
Peruna. Peruna strikes at the root of the
difficulty by correcting the uigestion.
