CUNNING BITS OF sTAeEcRAFT.

Curate's UnbIackened Boots and q
sprained Ankle Most Effective.
1t is permitted to mankind to speak
more than once Of Henry Arthur Jones
and his remarkable stagecraft, says the
Boston Transcript. Not that 1 wholly
admire it or yearn to reiterate things
heretofore mentioned. Indeed, l am
persuaded that 1.-THE Hypocrites" will
impress you as a wee bit artificial, with
the characters always entering SO pre-
cisely when wanted that you are some
what too conscious of stage directions (;
you prefer. 1 imagine, the seemingly
haphazard comings and goings Of the
people In plays by Mr.. Shaw, and yet
Jones has tricks worth noting, apart
from the mere mechanics of his art,
and two of those tricks-the curate's
unpublished boots and Miss Rachel's
sprained ankle-show how perfectly he
understands an audience.
How Is he to make q curate look
poor2 In dress, all curates are alike.
Make the coat shiny and only people In
the front seats will notice; have him
take the coat off, displaying pair Of
poverty stricken shirtseeves, and he
must again put 1t on. Ye ihevgt6. :.
must again put 1T on. Yet give him I'M
polished shoes and he walks always
upon the verge of restitution. His en-
tire person then expresses hard luck
And this, take 1t, is the more subtle
since there is no sense in it. Logically,
all it means is that the maid has neg
lected the boots. Literally, it bespeaks
bad discipline, not economy Jones
knows that. But Jones also knows that
an audience will take it the other way.
Counting on their talent for misinter-
probation, he makes his point effective
ly. And then that business Of the
sprained ankle. Any other circum-
stances, almost. might have kept Ra-
chel a guest at the Linnells'.
This sprained ankle, however, gave
Jones his opportunity to visualize her
mental sufferings; to show you what
passed, however unreasonable, for that
outward symbol Of a broken life. All
the anguish, all the despair, all the
horror Of Rachel's plight was dramat-
lied in her limp. At every step she
was eloquent and emotional, far more
than Of physical torture. And IN no
other way could her situation have been
made so telling. Maybe this Is paying
our intelligence no compliment, yet the
shrewd dramatist will take us as he
finds us. Mr.. Jones is aware that, af-
ter ten minutes or so, we shall cease
thinking Of that limp as the result Of
slip on the steps. Instead, 1t will
seem the natural and logical express
sion Of mental distress.

SIGNIFICANT FACT.

Worker for Closer Union with South
ern Republics Points 1t Out.
DR.. l.. S. Rowe, of the University of
Pennsylvania, who recently received
from President Roosevelt a letter ap-
proving his work for a closer union be-
tween the Southern countries and the
United States, was the chief speaker
the other day before the Congress Of
the Association Of American Univer-
sites. He pointed out that the intel
lectual influence Of France in the Latin
Americas had been almost wholly sup
planted by that of Germany. Denying
that there was any intent of ultimate
German domination, he said:
1.-The really significant fact Is that
Germany's intellectual influence in
South America is growing so rapidly,
especially in the educational field, that
German ideas, German culture and the
German point of view now dominate
the trading In some Of the most i'm
portant sections of the continent In
Chile the system of public education Is
based on German models, and the Ger
man educational influence Is rapidly
spreading in the Argentine Republic
and Peru. We need not take alarm be-
cause of this, but 1t is important that
we become fully conscious Of the fact
that Germany IS establishing her hold
upon these countries not primarily
through commercial conquest, but by
means Of the more fundamental intel
lectual and moral forces which develop
community Of thought and ultimately
community Of action. This fact pos
sesses a deep and far-reaching slgnifi-
canoe, and constitutes a far greater
achievement than a territorial foot
hold"

We have all read those fascinating
accounts Of how to furnish q room

costume that doesn't betray It's home
ly origin on next to nothing. And to
this fascinating literature a Chicago
woman adds a charming fable relating
to what you can get out of peck OF
red apples. She says:
1--WE washed them carefully, pared
about half of them for apple sauce
and covered and set aside the skins
and cores in a cool place. We filed a
two-quart jar with sauce for future
use and the balance served us two
days.
1--WE then prepared the second lot
for sauce tie same way, put all the
skins and four whole apples sliced fine
over the fire, barely covered with
water, and simmered until soft. This
was poured into a double cheesecloth
bag and allowed to drip until l had
seven largs cups of juice. This was
boiled for twenty minutes, skinned,
and six cups Of sugar which had been
heating on a radiator were added. This
was boiled twenty minutes more and
made seven glasses Of delicious deep
pink jelly.
eve still had the contents Of the
jelly bag. This 1 emptied into a crock,
covered with lukewarm water, and
added a cup Of New Orleans moIasses,
covered with cloth, and set In a warm
place, stirring daily, for two weeks.
After straining through a cloth the
vinegar was set in warm place until
sharp enough. Total, about six quarts
apple sauce, seven glasses Of jelly and
two quarts Of pure vinegar"

Dolores trembled and shrank against

No more cattle are stolen or killed

The cattlemen sleep well Of nights and
Dick Matson grows rich off his profits.
Several plump brown children play
about his door, and Of these he is In
ordinately proud, as is also Dolores,
who sees In them adorable replicas Of
the man she worships The two are
very happy, for Dolores is still slim
and beautiful; and Matson wants no
better life than that of the range and
his own fireside. There are moments,
however, when the hair stiffens on the
back of his neck, and a chill runs along
his spine.
These are the moments when he re-
fleets on the fact that the utmost that
the courts could award to Escolante

the capital invested, the issue of notes
was highly profitable, but when the ris-
Ing bond market forced up the price
and the net income fell to 2 per cent,
1t was more profitable for the banks to
turn their energies to- increasing their
deposits and making loans. OF late
years and In ordinary times the banks
limit their note issues, though during
the past autumn the acute demand for
currency led to rapid addition Of
$100,000,O00 to the bank note supply.
This was achieved largely by means Of
a treasury custom by which the notes
were practically issued on bonds other
than national bonds.
Gold certificates represent q definite
quantity Of gold deposited with the gov
eminent; so do the silver certificates.
Like bank notes, they are not legal
tender as between private parties.
Greenbacks are treasury notes or prom
issory notes issued by the government.
The original issues were made during
the Civil War and the volume Is main
tanned by continually reissuing them
when they are redeemed in gold. They
are full legal tender by fat of the gov
eminent, though it took three Supreme
Court decisions to establish finally the
constitutional right of the government
to give them the legal tender attribute.
"Silver dollars are legal tender and
in principle they are not different from
treasury notes of paper. The metal in
them does not constitute their value.
The value Is in the understanding that
the government will ultimately redeem
them in gold. The notes of 1890, if any
remain outstanding, are the notes is
sued under the Sherman act for silver
bullion bought between 1890 and 1898.
The silver small coins are also token
currency, used for convenience in small
transactions and depending for their
value on the limited legal tender quail
Ity-they are legal tender only up to
$10-and the good faith Of the gov
eminent.
Thus the government, banking, poll
ties and the currency are interrelated
In an unScientific and dangerous way.
The amount Of greenbacks and silver is
fixed. The bank notes depend on the
bond market. The silver part Is leg
acy from imitation plumbers. The cur
rency is not determined by trade needs,
as it should be. 1t is unable to respond
to demands The object of legislation
should be to reach as soon as possible
a slmplification by which notes payable
in gold and issued as required on safe
terms by business would be the money
supply. Temporary expedlents may
meet a few years necessities, but that
simplifcation is the only permanently
correct principle"

MAKING OF CLoTHEsPINs.

Turned Out by Millions at Mont
peIier, Vt.-WOrk Done by Girls.
ClOthespins by the millions, by the
hundred millions, are turned out in
Montpelier, VT, every year, and so
great is the demand that preparations
are being made for still further In
creasing the output, says the Boston
Herald.
These are not the old-fashioned
clothespins, a split stick, but the affair
made with a spring Of steel wire. The
concern that makes the largest number
turns out 100000 gross or more every
year, and in addition makes some forty
different kinds of clips for holding pa
pers and photographs and bottles and
test tubes, as well as some larger ones
for carriage makers use, but its prip-
cipal business is the manufacture of
pins to hold the family wash on the
line.
The old problem, what becomes Of
all the pins?" may be supplemented by
this: what becomes Of all the clothes
pins?"
This one concern turns out every
year more than one clothespin for every
man, woman and child In the United
States, other factories turn out a con-
siderable quantity, and the Maine man
ufacturers put millions Of the old-fash-
Toned kind on the market. but still the
factories are frequently behind on their
orders.
The world is their market. Every
part Of the original invention Is called,
and the washerwomen Of Peru, Brazil,
Australia, France, Germany, Turkey
and Russia know them Just as we'll
Wherever the cleansed family clothing

clothespins are known.
The spring clOthespin Is the inven-
ton of Scion G. Morse and was pat
ented In the SOS.
The lumber for these clothespins Is
cut in and about the little town Of War
rem In the Mad River Valley, and the
wooden pieces that are used In the pins
are fashioned there, being hauled to
Montpelier in carts. The springs are
made in the factory here and the wood
en- parts are completed.
The parts when ready are passed to
deft handed girls who sit at little
tables. A spring is placed In position
in a machine, two pieces Of wood are
put in the proper places, treadle is
pressed and a finished clothespin drops
out. These are packed in pasteboard
boxes and shipped by the car load to
the uttermost parts Of the earth.

herself had been calling, declined to
purchase popularity on those terms.

THE GREEN LANES OF THE PAST.

I care not to gaze at the years coming on,
ThicEmantled in mist and with doubts overcast,
But would rather stray back to the days that gone
Along the green lanes Of the past
Across the cool meadows of memory, where
The birds sing, and the wild waters fall
And the laughter of children Is borne on the air,
And love shnetn 1t all
The painter may picture the future in dyes
That rival the and the rainbow, and still
It may leave him at last but guerdon Of slghs
And hope that it failed to fulfill;
The poet may sing of the splendors supreme.
OF the Opuent ages far-conling and vast
question him not, yet ask but to dream
On the old quiet hills of the past.
The past is my oWn-there is nothing uncertain
In all its wide range and my title is clear
While the future at best, is a face the curtain
That fades my footsteps draw near
Then give the blossoms the birds and the bowers
And every loved where my soul cngeth fast
Like evergreen ivy that mantles the towers
And feeds the dews of the past.
