RATES OF ARMY PAY.

The present rates of army pay were
established nearly forty years ago. and
the pay Of the navy is based upon
that for the army. When the law was
er-acted QS70 the allowance was ample.
1t may be assumed, though, that
Congress then provided nothing in ex-
cess Of the reasonable needs Of the
service at that time. In the meantime
the development Of the country and
commercial conditions not confined to
our own country alone have caused the
cost Of living, cost Of travelling. cost Of
education. cost of clothing and amuse-
ments to be ali nearly doubled; In Sc me
of the items mentioned TO be Quadrupled.
StonemasonS, bricklayers, carpenters
and other skilled mechanics are receIv-
ing at present about Sc per day. That
is the exact amount paid 10 a captain
N the United States army after he
has been in the military service less
than fifteen years. II Is nearly double
the amount paid 70 a second lieuten-
ant. glance over the army list shows
that over two-thirds of the officers are
receiving less pay per day than good
mechanics receive in civil Ife.-Army

ChOate'S View of Peace.

Mr.. Choate's latest speech at The
Hague peace conference was in eff
feet an answer to the criticism that
little had oeen accomplished. He
said, runs the report, that al
though the immediate results of the
present conference were distinctly
limited, he sincerely hoped that
each successive conference would
make the position reached at the
preceding conference its point of
departure, 50 that, by successive
steps, results ultimately would be
obtained that in the beginning had
appeared quite impossible"
That is a point of view reached
by common sense. Slow progress
under difficulties will yet achieve
splendid final results. The world
has been developing military science
for thousands of years. Surely it
would be too much to expect a few
weeks talk to effect universal har-
mony. Moreover, peace" in this
case is a relative term. 1t means,
in the first place, a better under
standing between the great powers.
Until that grows to something like
perfection, nations will rage, and
people imagine vain things.

suffering somewhat by the absence Of
Dustin Farnum in the title role and
Josephine Sherwood as Molly Woods.
The absence OF Mr.. Farnum was made
all the more noticeable because Of the
fact that he was here only last week
and revived recoIlections q his "Vir-

The title role is intrusted 20 " 8

the way Mr. Farnum did. His fnte--
pretation Is too studied. and therefore
stiff. There Is none OF the easv-goin-

No one can accuse him OF not trying
for he works hard. and in time the
rough edges will wear on.

WoRLD'S ONLY WOMAN JAILoR
LIVES IN SWITZERLAND

The prison of AIgle, in the Rhone vai-
ley IS said to possess the only Official
woman Tailor in the world. Her name
is Nine. Jenny Porchet. She is fifty
three years Of age and is a widow with
nine children. seven OF whom are earn
ing their own living. while two OF her
youngest daughters cook the prisoners
food.
Although n strict disciplinarian, she
has a kindly heart and looks carefully
after the health OF her guests" BY her
force Of character she soon converted
the Aigie prison into a model OF it's
kind IN the country. All the year
round the Aigle prison contains from
twelve to twenty male prisoners, SEN
fenced to terms OF imprisonment vary
ing from three months to three years.
and although the woman jailor has no
manor woman either-to aid her, she
never had any trouble with the prfs-
oners-except on one occasion. many
years ago. when a burly rufflan at
tackled her. Nine. Porchet dealt him
such lesson in good behavior that ne

Mr.. Meyers Nearest Duty.

Postmaster General Meyer in
formed the Postmasters' Associa-
ton of New England, in session last
Saturday, that 1T does not seem to
be understood by many of our peo-
pie that we have a parcels post at
present" One reason for this may
be the fact that the service is hard
~ worth talking about. In fact, the
Postmaster General himself fur
nished the best possible explanation
of the fact that. the service is I'M
popular when he said:
Any individual entering the post office
here IN Boston or in any other city or
town in the country with two parcels.
each Weighing four pounds. can send
one parcel TO New York for Ga cents,
while for the other parcel which IS
addressed TO some one In a foreign land
and goes via New York, he will have
TO pay but as cents, for the reason that
the rate TO foreign countries is y cents
q pound. while the rate to our own
people is 16 cents pound.
Should the packages weigh four and
one-aalf pounds each, the one addressed
TO the friend in New York would nave
70 be refused by the postmaster, while
the one addressed TO the person in the
foreign land, and which would he &C
cepted. would be forwarded to New
York. and then on to its destination The
parcel for the foreign country would bs
received in most instances 4 il weighed
as much as eleven pounds, and for
warded 10 any one Of twenty-five for
eign countries.
This is a state of affairs that mani
testify demands correction. The least
Congress can do, as Mr.. Meyer says,
is to put our domestic service on
equal terms with our foreign serv-
ice. Only two elements are oppOs-
ing this very desirable change--the
express companies and the country
retail merchants. Mr.. Meyer has
no patience with the former; and as
for the latter, he would meet the
objections by offering them the
advantage of a parcels post on rural
routes at special rates, cents for
the first pound, and cents for each
additional pound up to eleven
i.5unds, or 25 cents for a package
weighing eleven pounds.
The country at large needs Mr..
Meyer more than Massachusetts
needs him-for the present. After
he has accomplished some of the adj
Airable reforms he has proposed,
and particularly this parcels post
reform, he will be all the better
qualified to govern the Bay State,
as it's leaders have proposed. But
for the present it is better for all
the States that he stay where he is.

ZOOLOGY RECoNSTRUcTS
HISTORY OF EARTFS AGE

The old theories OF studying the form

most important meetings OF the Zoo

ever given on the subject, Dr. r. r
Scharff. Of the Dublin museum ireland
SET forth claims of zoOgeOgraphy. or
the evolution OF continents, as illus

animals.
DR.. Scharff said:
II believe that the Oldest and most per
manent forms Of the earth's surface
car be ascertained by a study Of the dis
tribution OF present forms Of animal
life. BY this means we may recon-
strCct the former globe and arrive a
a very certain idea OF what must have
been.
Take. for instance, the continent Of
North America Animal forms found
cast Of the Rocky mountains are con-
Paratively unknown on the Western
slopes until modern times. But almost
identical forms are found in Europe
Austria particularly. This led to the
belief that at some time or other the
continent had been connected with FL
