NEW YORK IN THE REVOLUTION.
Gotham Was Tory to the Core During
the Great Struggle.

New York was tory to the core.
Those who think It sordid and com
mercial to-day should pore over the
records of the actual history Of its
men of affairs in the years when the
common people we're fighting battles
for independence, says the Success
Magazine In an article on Tammany
hall. No soldiers marched out from
It's streets to join the ranks Of men
under Washington. Its wealth paid
no taxes for the support Of the revo-
lutionary cause. The future metropo-
lis was dominated by alleged Amert-
cans who believed that independence
menaced their vested interests. They
were convinced that democracy
threatened their social prestige, they
were instlnctively fond of the gauds
and trapping of royalty, they set mon
ey and position above country-they
were the laissez faire of half a cen
tury later, and the SNUG prototypes
Of the bourbon reactionaries of to.
day.
It was their influence which pro.
longed the war Of independence. They
believed that only the power of royal
ty could keep the despised mob under
control They had stubbornly and
successfully resisted every attempt
of the masses to secure even a YES
tige Of political right. They dreaded
lest a time should come when men
with ballots in their hands should at
tempt to confiscate their property.
They had no more patriotism than a
modern corporation seeking to evade
its taxes or TO steal a franchise. This
numerous and powerful class did its
best to thwart American liberty, and
when It was won despite them there
was CONSERVATION in the mansions of
New York. With tears and forebod-
ings they watched the evacuation of
the city by the British; some Of them
fed, but most of them remained.

Pasteurlze the MIX.

Nathan Straus sends message to
American mothers to the effect that
raw milk is not good for children, the
scientific men of the world having
agreed upon the fact. Milk should be
pasteurized and the mother can do this
herself in her own kitchen The in
ternational congress at Brussels
warned against raw milk, because of
the danger from tuberculosis. 1t is
not the poor alone who need instruc-
tion upon the subject, as many of the
babies Of the rich suffer from the ef-
fects Of raw milk, but Americans are
said TO know more on the subject than
people OF other countries.

Ones Own Possessions Always Re-

THE mandarin shocked me-" said
the missionary, "the first time l dined
with him, by referring to his wife as
his good-for-nothing marital mistakel"
But / interposed, 1t is said that
your lady is brilliant, beautiful and
kind
"He smiled awkwardly and changed
the subject. However, with the course
of bamboo sprouts he mentioned his
wife again, calling her this time his
stupid hand-the-clothes.'
"T am sorry your marriage is an
unhappy one said l.
with an embarrassed air he began
to discourse on the high-binders.
Every now and then, though his
wife's name came up, and he called
her in quick succession his thorn in
the flesh, his punishment for youthful
sin, his 'hideous and lunatic spouse,
and his vile one of the inner room.
81 spoke up impatiently.

your unmanly abuse inclines me very
favorably towards your poor wife
"He threw down his chop-sticks i'm
patiently, scattering sharks fin and
soy over the table.
Don't you understand he cried,
that all this is etiquette, pure eti-
quette? The Chinese host by the laws
of etiquette must speak of his own
possessions as unworthy and vile
even Of his wife he must speak so,
though she be a full moon for beauty
and a Chang XVI, or sacred COW, for
wisdom. | have no fault to find with
my wife; quite to the contrary; ] only
deride her in order to show proper
Chinese courtesy to you. And now, |
beg, don't interrupt again
The missionary smiled ruefully.
1T was a bad break for me TO
make" he said. "The man was a
powerful mandarin. But It is truly
most shocking, at the beginning, to
hear these men abuse their women

oorlIIas Terrorlze COMO Natives.

Alfred Yorke young explorer, who
has returned TO London from the
French Congo, brought back with him
three immense gorllas. He states
that a section of the French Congo
and the German Cameroons is filled
with these big beasts.
The natives had been driven away
by the ferocious animals, which had
even succeeded in getting rid of all the
monkeys.
These animals are generally armed
with heavy clubs, and woe to the car
avan that Is attacked by them. Mr..
Yorke describes one such incident
that happened to the caravan with
which he was travelling, and says
that he and his companions owe their
lives to the large amount of ammuni-
ton they carried, with which they sue
ceeded in routing the gorillas.

The loves Of a Vlollnl.t.

"A violinist," said M. Ysaye, "can
love as many iddles as a sultan can
love wives, and more. should like
a violin harem-a regular seraglio Of
fiddles-Stradis, Guadagninis, a Guar
nerius or two. few Amatis and even
a few Gaglianos" Once, early in his
career, he was passionately attracted
by an alleged Guadagnini in a pawn
brokers' win tow in Hamburg. Bay
ing II was out of the question, and
the pawnbroker after much persua-
sion, only consented to lay aside the
instrument for awhile. Even then pos
session seemed remote until Ysaye,
meeting a diamonddealing friend
actually fred him with 80 much en-
thusiasm for fiddles that he consented
to leave a bag Of stones with the
pawnbroker as security for the in
strument. I'm this way" says Ysaye,
'T was married to my first love among
the fiddles, my beautiful Guadagnini."

Llaht from the Fixed stars.

The fixed star which, according to
the knowledge we have, is nearest to
the earth Is 100000 astronomical units
distant from us, The astronomical
unit is the mean distance of the sun
from the earth, matter OF some 93-
000, 900 miles Thus the nearest fixed
star is 1S,6OO, ,OOO,OO 900 miles away
Light travels at the rate OF some 1885,
900 miles per second, or 5,S65, 500, 900
900 miles year II will thus be seen
that 1t takes over three years for
light to reach the earth from the near
est fixed star, so that II every star in
the sky were blotted out, II would be
over three years before we noticed
any difference, This does not, Of
course, apply to the planets in our
own solar system, such as Mercury,
Venus, Jupiter, etc.

The government has some old war ships of the

These ships cost $1OOOO0O when constructed

that the old ship is much better than the experts
