There is talk of postponing the Dem ocratic primary over in Georgia until August, and if that is done, we don't see how some of our contemporaries in that State are going to hold out. They are jumping themselves into 4 fever already and when hot weather comes on they'll give out, We should imagine. Better get it over as quickly as possible.

WellinG tOn's Vanity.

Among the portraits at the Royal
academy there are some which could
tell stories, some with little touches to
reveal the idiosyncrasies of subjects
no less than Of painters. Is the story
Of Lawrence's portrait of the Duke of
Wellington commonly known? The
duke had only one vanity-his wrist
was like steel. Now, when he was
given the sword Of state to carry it
was his Infinite delight that he was
able to carry it upright. All his prede-
cessors had had to slope it toward the
SHOULDER. He would so down to DOS
terity. he resolved, glorifed by the
power Of bis wrist. In vain Sir Thorn
as Lawrence pointed out that as &
matter Of art it would never do; that
the sight of man perennia!ly carry
ing a sword from his wrist would f.
tigue those who looked at his picture.
The duke insisted upon having his
way. Lawrence did manage to SNUG
sic in a cushion upon which the duke
seems to rest bis elbow, but close ex-
a1n:1ation shows. that arm and cushion
do not meet.-Loldon Sketch.

justly be termed sport On the same
basis as rod and reel angling, it being
too nearly akin to the methods en-
ployed in strictly market fishing.
The bluefish, taken from stationary

as this is often accompanied by the
nauseating stencil OF ''chumming" with
menhaden, 1t is somewhat marred by
the discomfort involved. The vast

fer and the value of lands would
shrink materially. Nevertheless, the
question of lowering the duties Is al
ways being agitated, for the consump-
ton of meat in Germany is necessarily
increasing and as the duties make I'M
ports small home producers are profit
ing. but the tribute is wrung from the
working people.
England could not maintain her agr1
culture and her industrial supremacy
and she killed agriculture that she
might the better rule the trade anu
commerce Of the world. Germany has
tried to straddle the question, but the
time is not far ahead when it will
again be to the fore. The kaiser seeks
to spread German commerce around
the world and make his country pre-
eminent in industry, and indeed she
has made such great strides that Eng
lands supremacy is threatened But II
the German workers are to make the
goods that are to maintain the fame or
Germany they must be decently and
sufficiently fed.
This is the great question Germany
has to face. Ever since the Franco
Purssian wah humiliation of France
and the payment to Germany Of the
great indemnity, with only one tenn
porary recession. Her nobility COM
prises very largely the agrarian party
which stands for high duties, protec-
ton to Germon fields and forests, pro
motion of German agriculture and
the maintenance of the old conditions,
but her cities are rapidly increasing
in population, she is not producing
cough to feed her own people, and
her lower working classes are muir
muring and calling for cheaper and
better food.

PiccaIiliy,

Perhaps there is among the great
capitals Of civilization no more cele
brated, no more beautiful street than
Piccadilly. The origin of it's name is
still disputed, although the interpreta
ton given by the Hon. T. Byng, once
universally known as Poodle" Byne
on account Of the curliness of his hair
will serve as well as any other. He
held that rather more than two centu
ries ago it was Charles IFS habit
when he took his mornings walk in
the Green park to buy some cakes o,
turnOvers from an old woman with
whom he exchanged many a merry
Jest and who kept her booth on spot
opposite to the present site of Apsley
House. These cakes We're called ''pick.
adils," and from this circumstance the
fashionable western artery of London
was supposed by Poodle" Byng to
have taken It's name. Poodle" Byng's

The age, sex, and identity of the
midget stars caused barrels Of specu-

More said that they were both girls,
and more still said they were brother

They were trained in the exceed

they appeared yesterday evening by

They travelled about in her charge
through California last season and for
a very successful engagement in Sc
attic this fall.
Neither of them is over II years OF
age and they have been stage struck
for several years already.
They love the work. said Mrs.
McColloch in response to a query this
morning. why in Seattle when they
played in all the different theaters
they would sometimes give the sketch
five times in a day and then they
would beg me to let them do it again.

FOOD PROBLEM IN GERMANY

The German kaiser has his troubles
and they are not light ones. William
the Sudden stands for divine right
and the kingly personality pre-emi-
nent. His views seem archaic to peo-
pie OF the western continent as to
many advanced thinkers in mis- own
country. But William stands also Yor

deed, the fatherland never has ranked
SO high and never has made such
wonderful strides in the worlds COM
merce and industry as of late years.
His reign will show an ecoonmic pro-
gress unsurpassed.
The socialists are the kaiser's espe-
cial aversion. Just now they are drag
ging across his path of military and
commercial glory the ghostly carcasses
Of the $4,000 horses and $500 dogs
eaten by his humber subjects during
the past year. The use of horsefesh in
Germany, France and elsewhere in Eu-
rope is common enough to pass with
out comment, but it must be a dis
couraging and disgusting thing for
the kaiser to contemplate the condi-
ton of a population reduced, in it's
poorest components. to the extremity
of eating dog to satisfy the craving
for meat.
Our country or other western ex-
porting countries could send into Ger
many good meat, at prices that would
enable the rapidly increasing industri-
al population to live much better and
more cheaply. This. oc course, would
hurt German agricultural interests
and as the agrarians have the upper
hand in affairs, they keep the duties
high. 1t is true that were there nc
duties German agriculture would suf-

much Mr.. Elder cared,v retorted
Mrs. Waters scornfully. "He got his
price for the cottage; that's all he
wanted. Something must be done or
the tone Of the neighborhood will be
lowered"
Mrs. Pratt and Mrs. Bagby were Of
the same opinion, but they could make
no suggestion as to how relief could be
afforded. At this moment the topic Of
conversation, James Smith, who had
recently occupied cottage in the fash
iOnable suburb of West Park, drove
past the house Of Mrs. Bagby In run
about He was q short stout, red faced
man, wearing an exceedingly loud suit
of clothes and an air of Indifference to

no longer"
"I'll tell you what We'll do remark
ed Mrs. Pratt, who, on account of her
proximity to the Objectionable neigh
Dor, was more anxious for his removal
from West Park. "We'll buy the Elder
cottage from this man and sell it to
some desirable person. We will have
to pay more than it's worth and sell it
at loss, but it's better to lose little
than to have our homes ruined. Well
get some Of the other residents to join

But 1t will take great deal Of mon

was widow Of ample means. "All

have anything to do with 1t. They'd
get some one to buy the cottage who
wouldn't be any better than this Smith
is"
Having been promised the required
support. Mrs Pratt. accompanied by
Mrs. Bagby and Mrs. Waters, waited
upon Mr.. James Smith with the pur-
pose Of purchasing the Elder cottage.

Mr.. Smith, who was sitting upon the
porch in his shirt sleeves, arose and
greeted them cordially as he knocked
