Friends in Business.

In these busy days OF swift forgetfui-
ness there IS a fine touch OF lofty senu-
mont in Secretary Cortelyou's visit TO
Canton. The Secretary of the Treasury
IS a busy man, and being not physi-
clan his presence at the home of Mrs
Mckinley can avail little; but the spirit
Of the visit is something, and that some
thing amounts 10 a great deal.
So does the st. Louis Times preach
a little sermon on gratitude and
friendship. AS far as it relates to
Mr.. Cortelyou, it is highly merited.
But he is an exemplar-not an ex-
ception. The spirit of his visit to
Canton prevails among American
men this very moment. The old day
when business preeluded sentiment
has passed, if it ever existed. More
and more we have come to realize
that the poet Gray spoke truth
when he said:
On the choice Of friends our good or
evil name depends.

HAMBURG LOTTERY
FORBIDDEN MAILS

The Great Hamburg Money Lottery
will hereafter be compelled 10 conflne
its operations to the Fatherland. The

Germ under the ban and will not per-

The department is in possession Of
circulars sent into the United States

The Real Reason.

OF the number of explanations of
the feeling of the japanese diplo-
mats in England against that peren-
nially witty and tuneful comic
opera. "The Milado," none seems so
logical and convincing as that of
Lord de Saumarez, who knows the
sentiments of the conquerors of
Russia as well as any European can.
He declares that there is offense
even in the fact that the opera bears
the name of their Emperor, who is
invested with a distinctly religious
character. Further, he says:
Profound reverence for everything
that pertains TO his personality and
name Is ingrained in the being of every
japanese in a degree far stronger even
than that Of Roman Catholics for the
Pope IL is pertinent TO ask what would
be the feeling of Catholics throughout
the world II comic opera entitled The
and the sacred office OF the Pope made
the subject of burlesque
That should be sufficient answer
TO those who think the Japanese too
thin-skinned in obiecting to mere
lieu d'esprit." Point of view is
everything in this world, and while
one man may not always understand
that of another, it is the part of
courtesy, not to say decency. to give
that other credit for sincerity.

A Revival of Hand Labor.

A yellow gown, made by a cracker
woman of the North Carolina noun
tains and worn by Mrs. Vanderbilt,
of Biltmore, arouses the hope that
the moribund art of hand-spinning
and weaving may be revived At an
outlay of only S25 the aristocratic
wearer was enabled TO buy a cloth
which in all qualities of decorative
ness and art surpassed the finest
products of the machine. Other
wealthy women are said to have
fallen into line. and now hand looms
are being brought down from attics
and set a-rattling which have not
made sound for a generation.
This is, indeed. pleasing. The
touch of the human hand is the
glory of all decoration. Machinery,
by the very elements which give it
value, produce only sameness. The
hand, whether guiding carving tools,
or making furniture, or printing, or
weaving cloth, humanizes its prod

ment to contradict Mr.. Somersall,
for to tell the unvarnished truth we
do not know how we go to sleep.
We simply find, upon being aroused
by the heavy boots of the gentleman
above our head, that time has
passed; that it is light, and that
presumably we have been asleep.
Whether this going to sleep was a
brutal affair or not, accompanied by
sounds that suggest the porcine ami
NAL. we are in blissful ignorance.
So. we presume, are most of our
brethren. Why not let it go at
that?
But theosophy, we find upon fur
Their examination, has a remedy for
this commonplace and almost vulgar
method of wooing old Morpheus.
We are told that 1.-The mind should,
the last thing, be emptied, prepared,
raised, cleared, spiritualized by a
final meditation, a final strain of
aspiration, kept up for some few
minutes. The dust of the day
should be swept away, memory
stilled. Thus prepared, it will stay
nearly dreanless, sleep becomes
long meditation, and in the morning
when the oul returns it can at the
transit into reincarnation impress
suddenly upon the awakening mind
some of it's ideation."
That's it. That's what we have all
long waited for, the ideation of the
morning. For the most part, it has
previously been a mere returning to
the consciousness that one must re-
cover energy enough to emerge from
under the clothes, only to go
through the old weary routine of
exercises, soap and water, tooth and
powder. If there is any JOY that
theosophy can give 70 take the place
of coming back 20 the usual grind,
then we say all hail to it, and let us
have the cure at once The trouble
with most of us, we fear, in follow
ing Mr.. Somersall's method would
be that a final strain of aspira-
ton before going to sleep gener-
ally becomes the old wrestling with
the problem of how to capture
few more of the mighty dollars on
the day that is to come. If theoso-
ply can eradicate from our beings
gross and scrdid thoughts of this
sort, it will really do a service to
mankind.

net by a characteristic and sturdy
irregularity which no ingenuity of
invention has ever been able TO imi-
tate. Appreciation of this win mean
great stride toward the adjust
ment of industrial conditions in
America TO our high standards of
citizenship.
The machine can never be discard
ed. Some things it can do so well
that hand work cannot vie with it
as saving and planning wood, weav-
ing low-priced cloth, putting the
convenience of tin and iron ware
in the hands of the poor, and that
whole department of industry now
so conspicuously illustrated in the
digging of the Panama canal. No
one in his senses would seek in these
fields to supplant the wsir of wheels
and the puff of steam with the
muscle and skill of the hand.
But in other fields the hand prod
uct is much the more desirable. It
is also the more expensive. So that,
as the realization of its claims shall
spread, the outlay for home-spun
cloth, handmade furniture, hand
set printing, will tend more and
more to raise the wage of the COM
petent workman, render him indie
pendent of the factory, and give him
life under normal, healthful, home
making conditions. Relatively, the
operator of the machine will find
the terms of his labor bettered by
this new competition.

Wallis was granted divorce from her
third husband by Judge Rasch in the
circuit court. She was married when
thirteen years old, and got divorce
from her first husband because of
cruelty when she was eighteen years
old. Her second matrimonial venture
tied her up with a felon, and she lost
him behind prison bars.
Divorcing him, she married Frank
Wallis. He beat and cursed her. she
told the court, until her life was mis-
erbale. Asked II she would marry again,
Mrs. Wallis said: Husbands are like
shoes; If they wear easy, everything is
lovely, but if they don't, and you get
rid of them, that's no reason for going
barefooted. Try 1t again? Yes, when
the right man comes along"
