T look for similar clubs to be estab. lished in this country among the cult, as their foundation and purpose is anything but a joke or of q freakisb nature. The idea is new ill this coun. try, however, though the success of the Paris institution will give 1t an impetus among the advanced thinkers among us and those who have made the interesting problem of mental philosophy critical or pastime study.
 The rules of the society do not call for absolute silence, but the members are supposed not to talk unless they have something to say. Chatter is ab solutely tabooed. Each member pledges himself to avoid noisy places and par ticipation in public demonstrations At a recent meeting the members de clared that since they had joined the club their nervous systems were in much better condition than before they became members.
 "Of course such a club could not he composed of the fair sex. even though they were all devout believers in and followers of psychological teachings A congregation composed of silent women would be impossible of con ception. and while our fair sisters may experience chagrin that they are to be shut out of participating in any form of club life among themselves that is also indulged in by their brothers. this is one form of assembly that bars them out. Neither would politicians be eli sible for membership, unless as dis ciplinary measure.
 The club is based upon the sound psychological principle of not doing unnecessary things or calling the brain cells into play by unnecessary thought In practical everyday life this princi pie is. exemplified in the establish ment of retreats among certain of the religious creeds to which members may repair for meditation and rest and in medical circles it is shown in another form in the socalled rest cure If one wishes to enter into a study oi a mild form of this particular princi pie. let him consider the amount of wasted energy. physical and mental that the average person each day ex pends in needless talk and needless action: 1t will be found to be prodi gious.

WILD WEST AT EXPOSITION.
Great 1Ot Ranch to Be Brought to
 SewcIls Point.

Norfolk, Va. March 1S.--lt would be difficult to think of anything that could be added to give variety to the Jamestown exposition. With it's historic features and it's historic sur roundings, the beauty of its environs. it's location on the seashore. more properly on the shores of Hampton Roads, it's great gathering of the warships of the world and its camp of soldiers from all the great nations. it's industrial exhibits, its conventions and it's sports, its warpath with a multiplicity of features entirely new. surely it would be difficult to think of gerater diversity.
 All the crafts will be represented there and all the sections Of the world. even from the far Philip pines and Japan and China. but doubtless no feature will appeal more to the crowd than l0i ranch which will transport to Sewell's Point all of. the accessories or the American plain and show the life of the great west as it may still be found. though may not long re- main. This wild west show will be different from all that have gone before in that while it will include all the attractions of the others. it will show much more.

Our Mos. Humiliatlna War.

As we have said, but for Osces ola there would never have been any Seminole war at all. and all things considered, his career marks the most humiliating war the United States ever engaged in. says a writer in the Outing Magazine. There were less than 5000 Seminoles, men. women and children in all Florida. when hos tilities began with the murder of Gen. Thompson by Osceola. That great chiefs cunning. capacity and courage had cost the nation no less than$30 ,000.- 900 and the lives of three soldiers for every Indian brave that he led Such an appalling record of destruction stands against no other fighter on all our frontiers.

The new British Ambassador, MT. James Bryce, and his wife. to whom the English papers have alluded as the ambassadress, have taken posses sion of the British embassy at Wash ington and are becoming settled in their new home and preparing for the social duties which will devolve upon them in connection with the social activities of official Washington life. It Is safe to say that the Bryces, strong in their knowledge of the American and of all things American, will give far more attention to social affairs than was ever before given by 8 representative of Albion, and will thus escape the embarrassments which grew up around Sir Henry Mir. Bryce, largely through the ac- Itivity of Lady Susan Townley, the wife of minor member of the Brit ish embassy It Is said that Lady Townley complained to persons who took the report to the ears of the king and of the other persons who have to do with such matters that the former British ambassador and his wife were not nearly so intimate with President and Mrs and Miss Roosevelt as were many another pair in Washington. It is said that there were tears in the voice of Lady Susan when she recounted to the ears of her her friends in London the familiarity with which President Roosevelt dealt with Speck von Sternburg--it was even remarked by the irreverent tbat the president called him "Specky'' and of the welcome Jusserand al ways received at the White House. There was told the disastrous social experience of the wife of Sir Henry Mortimer.
 Why, she is only the daughter of country person" Lady Susan is re ported to have said of the wife of the ambassador. and she was reported

SIX LINERS ASHORE
Wild Sea and Fog Play Havoc
 on English Coast.
THREE BIG VESSELS ON LIZARD REEFS
Suevic and Jebba's Passengers Res- cued Through Angry surf-Over Hundred Children Taken ~
 From White Star ship.

LONDON, March 19-In wild sea that threatens all with destruction six steamships, including the White Star liner Sueyic, the Elder Dempster liner Jebba and the British steamer New stead, are ashore on the English coast in the vicinity of Dover.
 The Suevic. from which nearly 600 persons, passengers and crew, have been rescued, and the Jehba, from which 12O were taken ashore. are on the rocks in sight of Lizard light. The Newstead i3 ashore off Cuckmere.
 Three other steamers are on the rocks off Rye, Dungeness and Dover respectively.
 The Sueyic carried 400 passengers and a crew of 19O. They were rescued in boats. The children were carried through the surf by fishermen and their wives, who met the lifeboats off shore in water up to their armpits. The rescue of seventy passengers and fifty of the crew of the .Jebba was ac- complished by means of the brooches buoy.
 All of the half dozen steamers ill trouble ran ashore in dense fog and high wind that prevailed during the night along the southern coast of Eng land.
 Outside of the Suevic and Jebba there is no information as to the safe ty of passengers or crews. The New stead was bound in from Novossysk, Black sea. Her position is very dan gerous. Q.
 Passengers on the North German Lloyd liner Kaiser Wilhelm H.. bound from New York for Plymouth and Bremen. had rare and remarkable view of rescues from a shipwreck. The Kaiser passed close astern of the Suevic at time when the work of rescue was at its height. The vessels were So close together that the captain of the German vessel was able to sec that he could be of no assistance. The Kaisers passengers, many of them New Workers, had view of the Sue vic wreck and the rescue work for half an hour.
 There were no fewer than l60 chill ! dren aboard the Sueyic. and their res cue was attended with considerable danger. More than a score of them were babies i'll arms.
 Because of high wind and heavy fog that prevailed during the night there was great delay in the work of rescue. and the mothers of tho little ones were in state of hystcrical panic that the officers had hard work to keep within bounds. As the boats contain ing the children reached the shore l they were met far out in the surf by fishermen and their wives. who car ried them through the hissing waves to safety.
 The Suevic was homcward bound from New South Wales. via Cape Town. There was such a heavy fog as she approached the Lizard light that the navigators lost their bearings. and she ran on to the Brandies rocks, close under the lighthouse.

to have said other things with more sting in them.
 Lady Susan even set up sort of rival social center to that which the ambassador and his wife maintained in half.hearted way. Any long so. cial effort was sure to make Mrs. Du- rand i'll, and her heart was not in the work of smoothing the path of her husband by being on the most inti. mate terms with official life sisters who could most help him.
 In the natural order of affairs, Mrs. Bryce would be outranked and pre- ceded to dinner by score of British women now in Washington if she were not the wife of the ambassador. After all, however. the Englishman and the wife of the Englishman think enough of their governmental repre- sentatives to bow gracefully to even . commoner and the wife of a com. moner if there is but enough tact on the other side to make the social task more or less easy. It is believed that many little social problems were con sidered carefully before Mir. Bryce was so signally honored by his country. and that the importance of keeping an eye on the social aspect of life at the capital was considered at some length by him and the persons hay ing to do with his appointment.
 Mrs. Bryce has been much interest ed in many of the movements in Great Britain which have counterparts in this country and which are fur thered by the most prominent of American women. She has done con- siderable philanthropic work of an un- ostentatious kind. She is interested in the ballot for women. but it Is un. derstood that she believes that the time is moi yet ripe to give her Eng fish sisters the suffrage. In her ma tive city of England she was one of the most active and best known of all the workers. and she showed much of the same sort of ability that her husband has shown in the field of lit erature.
 It is another field which she will en- ter in Washington. however She will have to cross swords with some of the best masters fence in the United States. if not in the world. The in creased importance of the British mis- sion in Washington has made it's SO ciaI importance relatively large. Whether Mrs. Bryce will show the tact. the social grace and the requi- sites of leadership which must be shown if the wife of even a most emi. nent commoner is to have absolutely unquestioned social precedence over scions of some of the oldest families of England is problem Those who know her. however. and her husband. and the extent Of their study of Amer. ican life. believe that Mrs Bryce will % smoothly over the spots which
