natural or artificial; by outward me-

Natiea's Wealth 107 Billions.

The following report of the wealth
of the United States has just been
given out.
The total estimate Of the national
wealth in 1904 was sl07, l0i, 1872, 4lO,
accoi ding to special report issued
today by the census bureau on wealth,
debt and taxation, Which represents
gu increase in the folr aal period
from 1900 to 1904 of SIS, 5oS, $50 635.
This advance in national wealth las
no parallel In the history of the Unit
ed States except the decade from 1850
to 1860. In 1850, when the first esti'
mates of the national wealth were
made, the figures we're only 81, l35,
7SO, 228. The most potent cause for
the increase in the nation g wealth
from 1900 to 1904, it is stated, was the
reaction from the low prices OF the
period of depression from 1893 to
1896. The annual increase of wealth
per family from 1900 to 1904 was slS2.

The Oily Menhaden.

The oily character Of the menhaden
is familiar. 1t is caught for its oil,
which is tried out in factories. Men
baden fishermen use purse nets, which
are tarred to preserve them. To keep
their hands from sticking to the tarred
nets they rub on them a freshly caught
menhaden, handling it somewhat as
they would a cake Of soap. So oily is
the menhaden that the simple pressure
thus applied is enough to bring
through the scales oil sufficient for the
purpose.

SLOW working wenxern.


There are weavers who turn out
only one yard of stuff a year. They are
the GobeIin tapestry weavers, who work
in the factory in Paris. which is own
ed by the French government. They
average in the year only from one TO
three yards of goods, according TO the
ineness of the weave and the intricacy
of the pattern. These weavers work
at hand looms, where they put in the
filing. or weft, with a shuttle held in
the left hand. The back of the tapes
try is toward them. 4 mirror shows
them the other side. Baskets of wool
in every shade or color surround them.
They use q 400 tones in all. Skilled as
these woFkmen are their pay is 10
bigger than that of the ordinary Amer
lean Iaborer. They get about $500 a
year on an average, or about So a
week. These Gobelin tapestries, re-
quiring years in the making, are OF
course very expensive. An offer of
$4,000 wouldn't get some of them.

several hundred people were present to
watch her antics on the return trip.

never was a comedy better appreciated
1t was in truth screaming farce
and was successful from a theatrical
point of view in the truest sense of
the word. The amuseing experiences

fully pictured by the young men and
women in the cast and as each amatuer
was well known to the audience, the
situation was made all the more

worn by the young actors and actresses
were up-to-date and were voted the

do not seem to have come together be-

eighteenth century hip amounted to
just chi" or ''hello," while "hurrah"
was then usually ''huzza" 1t is like the
Cossack "Ora!" but it is supposed to
have been a German cry of the chase
adapted by the German soldiers to war

lish, perhaps first OF all at the time Of
the Thirty Years war. "Hurrav' is said
to have been the battle cry of the Prus-

really have been the hosting cry,

the owners, and wants the license re-
voked

Dowie and His nIission.

The career OF John Alexander Dowie
is one for thoughtful people to note
with more than passing interest. ThisN
is nation Of Bible reading and church
going, and the manifestation known as
Zionism is not explained by saying
that Dowie was an arrant impostor
and his large following made up Of
people taken unawares. He succeeded
in the shadow Of prosperous churches.
His converts could test the reasonable
ness of his bold claims by crossing the
street to listen TO established orthodox
religious teachings. Probably the ma
iority of them had heard all that the
church has TO say before they pinned
their faith to Dowie.
1t was claimed for Dowie that he
reached men as the regular ministry
could not or did not; that he covered
field in the work of uplifting a little
higher in the social scale than that
reached by the Salvation Army. When
his fame was at its height the secular
press hailed him as a preacher who
succeeded because he preached the gos-
pei Of righteousness with convincing
earnestness and tremendous force. This
view of it made him a man for the
hour.
Dowie's business projects and the
financial disasters involved are more
easily explained than his ability to
draw men after him in his spiritual
assumptions. The notion that material
success is based upon some sort of
secret manipulation instead of hard
work and frugality easily takes hold
upon this generation. Dowie may have
been deceived in that respect himself,
as he may at times have been deceived
also with regard to his spiritual mis-
sion. The Christian world long con-
sidered Mohammed a conscious impos-
tor. but impartial students of his career
! have reached the conclusion that at
times he believed himself called by
! God, and on other occasions the needs
of his people and his influence over
them determined his course But for
Mohammed another prophet and leader
might have appeared. SO Dowie's
passing may clear the field for re
generative work that shall be great in
magnitude and of a character to last.

A Representative House of Lords.

Plans to modify the composition of
less be many, but should the one adopt
ed, supposing that reform is certain TO
60 through, conform to the principles
already accepted by the peers the vote
will be reduced to a fragment Of its
present proportions. There are now
or seats in the British upper cham
Der, of which number $40 are held by
hereditary peers Of England or peers
of the United Kingdom, sixteen repre-
sentative peers of Scotland and twen-
ty-eight representative peers Of Ire
land. The principle of selection hav-
ing already been applied in the cases
of Ireland and Scotland, it would not
be an innovation to make it universal
Representation according to popula-
England in the house of lords to de-
gree which would strike the masses as
radical. The present apportionment
would leave Scotland sixteen peers and
reduce Ireland's delegation to sixteen,
and the allotment for England and the
United Kingdom would be 10 peers
and probably some representatives,
from the episcopal bench Of bishops.
Politically the vote Of the house of
lords would not be changed. Unionists
now predominant, and Unionist peers
would be chosen. If the reform should
go the length Of providing for joint
sessions of the parliament on certain
/ questions, the lords, if disposed to vote
! together, could muster enough votes to
turn the scale. If the lords must go
it is the wisest thing for them to save
their dignity by yielding gracefully the
main point and insisting upon a square
deal in the new line up.
