ARE WE MONEY-MAD2

We are not so universally money
mad as we may seem, writes Edward
S. Martin in the Atlantic. The elder
Agassiz was not the only man in this
country who ever felt that he had not
time 10 make money. The longing for
riches is not universally predominant
passion Thousands of men feel that
money getting is not primarily their call
ing, and would not leave the work they
love and pay the price in time and con-
centrated effort If ever so good chance
was offered them of a fortune honestly
won.
The man in whom the money hunger is
so strong and effectual that he is will
ing to devote his life to satisfy il is a
very exceptional man. Most of us hate
10 save, and the pleasure or profit of
the hour looks bigger TO us than those
or the remote future. Moreover, to al
most all the leading preachers. doctors
and schooimasters, and to many of the
editors, painters, architects, engineers
lawyers, and big politicians, money.
though important, Is a secondary con-
sideration.
They want to make living, and much
prefer that ii shall be a good one, but
professional success and reputation is
of more value to them than superiuous
riches. And why not, Is IL not a much
more satisfying thing to be a living
force, master OF a great profession or
great art, or a public leader than 10
be merely the possessor Of riches?

WITTE WILL BE MASTER
OF MEETING OF DOUhA
But Liberals Will Probably Force Him
to Weld More Reforms Than
Planned.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. I3-The
coming meeting of the Russian national
assembly at the Hauride palace will
be completely dominated by NJ. Witte
and his confsTees, unless all signs fail.
The first session of Russia's first rep
resentative congress will not attempt
any attack on the autocracY. The gov
ernment has the internal situation we'll
in hand now, and Witte is deVoting
practically ali of his enormous energy
to the meeting OF the douma in April.
His position is thus outlined by him
self; Thank God, the Russian Emperor
is not like the French President, who is
a creation of the electors and, therefore.
a creature; and not like the English
King, who must go to the Jewish bank
ers for his revenue-the Russian En-
peror is independent of all save God,
and fears God alone"
1t may, nevertheless, be put down as
certain that the Liberals, while they
will be a hopeless minority. will do all
in their power to force the premier TO
go very much further in the way of con-
stitutIonal government than he desires.

BIBLE GAN Be READ
IN GUAM LANGUAGE
Scriptures Have Now Been Translated
So That They Can Be Read by
500 Tongues.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. IS.-When A
translation of the Bible which the Rev.
f. H. Price, a missionary in Guam. is
now working on shall have been com
pleted, the Scriptures. or portions there
OF. may be read in $50 different Ian
guages. Hitherto the number has been
$50.
The language of the natives of Guam
Is called Charmerre. 1t is one of the
mos difficult of the South Sea dialects.
which have always proved difficult for
the white mans tongue. BY assiduous
labor, the Rev. Mr.. Price mastered it
sufficiently to undertake the traDsla-
tion, so that his wards may read the
Bible In their own language. He is
translatfng only portions of Scripture.
When 1t is taken into account that
few persons can name fifty Ianzua xes
oHhand, the fact that the Bible has
been translated into $50 is evidence of
the wide scope of missionary work
These forerunners OF Christianity have
penetrated into every corner of the
earth, and the Bible societies follow
them closely
IT is estimated by members of the
American Bible Society, which will pub
lish the Rev. Mr.. Princes transIatior
In Chamerre. that more than CO0 Ol0
copies of the Bible were printed anS
circulated during 1906.
From the invention of printing. the
Bible has been the best-selIing book. /"

The conventional garb of the states

Congress. 1t is being replaced by the

Some Congressional Queries.
What does 1t all mean?

What does 1t all mean?
1t is generally accepted that the
railroads, the greatest of all our
great corporations. have many able
representatives in Congress. Yet
few days ago the House passed al
most unanimously a rate bill which
is intended to curb the power of the
railroads. Now the Senate has
adopted unanimously a joint resolu-
ton, offered by Senator TiIlman. a
radical Democrat, calling for an in
vestigation of the affairs of the
greatest system of all our railroads.
The Tillman resolution is sent to
the House with the unanimous ap-
proval of the Senate, when it was
generally known that a similar reso-
luton. offered by Mr.. Gillespie in
the House, would have had little
chance Of passing the lower branch

What does it all mean?
Are the House and Senate playing
ping pong with the railroad issue?
Because the House put the rate uues-
ton up to the Senate. has the Sen
ate put the Pennsylvania investiga-
tion up to the House?
is it true, as suggested, that the
Tillman resolution is merely a Sena-
torial dig at President Cassatt for
his alleged betrayal of the lesser

he was in favor of President Roose-

How America Grows.

The year 1905 may fairly be said
TO have tested the productive capaci-
ty of the richest coHntry on earth
For in 1905 everything in this land
of bigness was bigger than ever
before.
Forty per cent more iron was pro-
duced than in 1904. 1t seems almost
incredible. yet official statistics bear
it out. Copper was increased 10 per
cent. Agricultural products of all
kinds showed in the aggregate a tre-
mendous increase. The combined
exports and imports OF the country
were almost a half billion dollars
greater than for the preceding year.
The railroads never hauled so many
tons of freight. so many passengers.
took in so much money, or had such
large net earnings as in 1905. The
commerce of the Great Lakes-and
the recollection of the fact that the
traffic of the 500" canal is immense
ly greater than that of the Suez is
always Illuminating when lake traf-
f1c is considered-was far greater
than in any previous year.
In 1905 il cost more to live than
ever before in the history of the
country, according to the statistics:
and more people had the price. More
immigrants were received than In
any year before. Imports were
greater than in any preceding year,
and so were exports. The Postofflce
Department did more business, the
banks held more money, and the per
capita of circulation was greater
than ever before when the country
was on a specie basis.
These are a few of the striking
facts that may be gathered from the
reservoir of information contained
in the monthly summary of COM
merce and finance just issued, COW
ering the completed year 1905. II
is apparently impossible to find COM
parisons striking enough to indicate
in brief the tremendous business
activity of the country. The per
capita wealth of the nation increas-
ed from s1,09S in 1890 to S1,2S5 in
1900, and while it is not vet esti-
mated for 1905 there is no reasonable
doubt that the increase for the past
five years will prove greater than in
any previous decennial period. The
aggregate wealth Of the nation in
creased from s65, 5000, ,OOO,OOO In 1890
to $4,000. 100000 in 1900, and for the
five years just past has probably had
a gain almost as great as in the pre-
ceding ten; in other words, it is
probably now about $4,000, ,O0O, 900.
Products Of agriculture constituted
56 per cent of the total exports,
while products of manufactures con-
stituted only 80 per cent. The rest
is credited to mining, forests, fish
cries, and miscellaneous. AgricuI-
tural products increased In 1905 over
the preceding year. S103, 900, 900,
while exports OF manufactures in
creased s69,O0O,00O.
1t cost the Government s542. .OOO,-
600 TO run its affairs, aside from the
revenues that were received by the
Postofice Department, and went
back into the conduct Of that SER
vice. Where did it come from? The
answer which first suggests itself
is that customs duties contributed
the bigger part, and the answer is
an error. Less than half came from
customs duties, and only just about
half the imports of the country are
dutiable at all. Internal revenue
taxes on spirits, tobacco, and fer
mented liquors produce nearly all
of the remainder

CLUB WOMEN LIKE
THE FIRELESS STOVE
Plan It's Perfection in Cooperation
With California Professor-Army
at Work on Same Problem.

BERKELEY, Cal. Feb. 13.-Prof NJ.
Z. Jaffa, the food expert of the Uni
versity OF California, has begun ex-
peTiments with a 'freless stove" the
results Of which are expected TO be of
unusual interest TO housewives, and in
cidentalfy to heads of families who pay
the fuel bills.
Cooperating with the university sell
enlist is the Town and Gown Club. OF
Berkeley. an organization sometimes
designated as fashionable but whose
members extend their interest TO such
purely domestic problems as cookery
and methods by which the art may be
improved and its expense lessened.
Professor Jafa's Theory.
Tho freless stove principle is ex-
planned by Professor Jaffa to be merely
the application of the idea that non
conductors of heat utilized TO retain
the heat OF the body in cold weather
may also be used TO retain heat gene
rated in a pot of boiling water, wherein
meat or vegetables have been placed
to cook. The ''hreless stove" really is
box, upholstered in some instances and
In other instances made up of boards
in which hay is kept around the boiling
pots, all kept as alright IS possible.
The food to be cooked IS first boiled
over a gas or coal stove for about five
minutes and then the boiling pot IL
transferred TO the fireless stove and
there kept for several hours.
Neither Professor Jaffa nor the
women of the Town and Gown Club
claim any credit for the discovery of
the idea of a fireless stove, IT being un-
derstood that the United States Army
is working on the same lines to test
the merit of the invention, if that can
be called an invention which is not pat
epted or monopolized by a corporation.
Army at Work on 1t.
United States Consular Clerk George
II. Murphy. of Frankfort, Germany, has
transmitted a valuable report on fireless
stoves as used in Germany, TO the De
partrnent of Commerce and Labor at
Washington, and upon receipt of the
report the commissary general OF the
War Department sent instructions To
the post commissary at Fort Riley,
Kan. to have experiments made in the
school of bakers at the post to ascer-
tain how far the claims put forward
in Mr.. Murphy's report could be prac-
tically sustained.
Professor Jaha explains that the fire.
less stove cannot. of course, be used
for beefsteaks outlets. pancakes and
other articles whose attraction lies In
the crispnesl resulting from rapid cook
ing on a hot fire.
