Canned Paintings.

Painting under glass may now be
preserved indefinitely. Had the men Of
old known this the pictures of Apelles
might still live in the first freshness of
their cOlOrs, and the work of Raphael
and Michael Angelo would look today
as it looked when it left the painters
hands The method of preservation is
simple. The canvas is placed in a
vacuum. 1t is preserved, like fruit. 1t
is sealed up from all the destructive in
huences of the atmosphere. Since
metal figures in the operation the can
vas might indeed be said to be canned
There is no reason why paintings kept
in this manner in a vacuum should nOt
endure indefinitely.

His Wedding Fee.

A New England clergyman tells of
wedding fee which lasted ten times as
long as any other he ever received and
which, he believes, has never been du-
plicated. The wedding was that of a
thrifty widow to an eIuerly bachelor,
who was sadly in need of just the care
and the feeding he would receive at the
widows hands. The wedding was
lively one, and as the clergyman was
about to depart the bride stepped up
to him and whispered:
II sent Henry over with your fee
half an hour ago. He wasn't in a po-
sitiOn to give you one, but told him
he could lug it over and that would
show his good will. 1 hope you'll like
it. You always have"
When the minister reached his house,
he was greeted by his wife, whom the
six-weeks-Old baby had kept at home
that evening.
'The bridegroom brought over your
fee awhile ago." she said in voice
shaking with laughter. Il had him put
it out in the kitchen"
"That's pretty place for a wedding
feer' cried the minister as he hurried
out to the kitchen, followed by his
wife.
There he found his fee-twO dozen
glass jars bearing neat labels which
set forth the nature of their contents
six of ''currant jell," six of "spiced cur
rants" six. of grape jam" and six O1

Out Of it there ought to grow a movement

There are reasons, however. to doubt

his view beyond the sphere circumscr!bed
by them. He IL not q visionary, and illu-
sions do not disturb the poise of his mind.
He sees a vast empire developing TO the
north of US, which is attracting annually
tens Of thousands OF Wealth-pToducers
from his own country. These thousands
Of Americans are almost as completely
cut of from business communication with
their native land as il they had emigrated

Increase I'm Drink Evil One Cause Of
Sentiment Against II.

From the Charleston News and Courier.
Our conclusion Is that the reduction IN
the consumption OF intoxicants claimed
as a result Of the disDensary law is not
substantiated by the facts. We believe
that the TASKS Of cheap whisky carried

night and distributed at the hot supper"

quests as did the drinking over the bars
in the old days. Under the barroom sys-
TEN more drinking took place In the
towns and villages; there were more evil
denCes OF drunkenness and disorder in
the streets. and the policemen were
buster than now, but the evil Of drinking
has simply been transferred to the coun-
try districts.
Moreover. It Is the sinking Of this
truth, in our opinion, IN the minds Of the
white farmers OF South Carolina that,
more than anything else. caused the de-
feat the dispensary In the primaries

in which they hold Senator Tiilman and
the confidence which they have in him as
an adviser. The farmers Of South Caro-
lima are convinced that the dispensary
law dem0Talizes negro labor, they know
that the negroes as rule do not import
whisky from other States for personal
consumption. and that is why n so
many counties they vote for prohibition.

A New view of the North Pole.

II has remained for a Massachusetts
minister, whose views are published at
length IN the Quebec Daily Telegraph. 10
utter some extremely original ideas about
the north pole. According TO his YER
sion. It SIS a waste OF time and money
and the really sinful endangering Of
precious lives" to continue the search for
the north pole. He asserts. in fact. that
Il Is useless 10 try and find something
that does not exist.
Authority for doubling that there is a
north pole is found In the verse in the
Bible which declares that He stretches
out tho north over the empty place" The
reasoning is as plain as a pikcstaf Il
the north is stretched out over .the
empty place" il means that there Is moth
ing at the far north, and, therefore. there
can be no pole. Our reverend friend does
not, however. leave MS TO reach this re-
suit through the means OF logic. He
makes the direct assertion There is
nothing there" he says. but an empty
place. Almighty God tells as this In His
Holy Word; and the nations. and
especially Christian governments, should
join together in legislative prohibition
against the foolhardy undertaking Of
searching for this empty place. and the
consequent squsndering OF time. labor.
and money. and the loss Of many
precious lives. 1t should be topped by
men who have TIE Christian spirit and
good sense.
After this, what is there for Wellman
to do but to fold his balloon, and why
should not Peary send the good ship
Roosevelt into a perpetual dry dock? All
the arguments against search for the
north pole are now REINFORCED and

Writ

cral court declared an Oregon statute for
bidding the employment of Chinese on
public works in contravention OF treaty,
the court deciding that the State can
not legislate so as to interfere with the
operation" of the treaty. And the SUI
preme Court OF California, IN upholding
treaty with which a State law was in
conflict, remarked of the treaty-making
power that even If the effect Of this
power was to abrogate TO some extent the
legislation of the States, we have author
ity for admitting IT, If It does not exceed
the limitations which we have cited from
the work Of Mr., Calhoun, and laid down
as the rule, to which we yield our assent"
John G. Calhoun laid down the limita-
lions Of the treaty-maklng power as they
are commonly understood at this day,
and expressed the opinion that within
these limits ali questions which may
arise between US and other powers, be
the subject-matter what II may, fall
within the limits OF the treaty-maklng
power and may be adjusted by It." While
Secretary Of State, Calhoun, in one Of his
opinions, went so far as to say that the
treaty making power was regarded as so
comprehensive as to include with few
exceptions, all questions arising between
US and other nations, whether the sub
ject-matter be comprised among the dele
gated or the reserve powers"
Representative Foster. OF Vermont. from
whose lucid and temperate speech Of last
Wednesday these citations are made,
thinks that Calhouns view Of the scope
of the treaty-naklng power covers the
whole ground of the present controversy.
and appears to regard it as iusufying his
own opinion that the United States may
by treaty relieve the subjects OF a foreign
power Of the disabilities Of alienage re-
speeding the public schools. Whether the
existing Japanese treaty does this is an
other question, as TO which Mr.. Foster did
not care 20 commit himself As We have
stated. it may not be decided III either
