IL Was a Dream.

When certain divine was young
er man and chaplain at the University
of Pennsylvania, like other ministers
who filed that position, he was much
troubled over the apparent lack Of at
tention from the students during the
morning exercises in the chapel. The
exercises hardly eyer continued for
more than fifteen minutes. Some of
the students were in the habit of tax
Ing their books into the chapel and
studying there during the services to
make up for their tardiness Of the
night before In not preparing their les
Sons. The young chaplain was iesirous
of breaking up the habit. so one morn
Ing preceding his customary five min
utes' address he spoke as follows:
Young gentlemen, last night I
dreamed was here In the chapel adj
dressing you And as I spoke I saw
every eye fixed upon me, every man
attentive, while In all the-chapei there
was not book opened, and then i
knew It was dream

Imperfect Immunity.

An instance of diplomatic immunity
nipped in the bud is cited in the Wash
ington correspondence Of the Chicago
Tribune. A Washington policeman was
swinging his club in Dupont circle
when he noticed nine-year-old break
ing branches from small bush.
Stop that" he said to the youngster,
touching him on the shoulder. "I may
have to arrest you for that" ..-
The child looked at him unafraid.
"You can't do that" he observed
gravely. Il am entitled to diplomatic
Immunity"
The officers mouth opened in amaze
ment. then he said: Young man, am
an officer of the law. 1t is unlawful
to break shrubbery. Anybody doing
SO must be arrested"
"But you don't know who am,"
came back in childish treble. II am
the son Of an envoy extraordinary and
a minister plenipotentiary. Diplomats
and their families cannot be punished
for breaking the laws. If you don't be-
Heve it, you may go and ask my papa
"I'll tell you what 1 will do, young
man, the officer said grimly. II will
take you to your father and see If you
have any immunity from his punish.
ment"
The youngster walled, and it was
some. satisfaction to the officer to know
that he walled still louder after the
tale had been told at the legation.

The Chinese have a favorite way of
trying to crush those they don't like
with a weight Of contemptuous epi-
thets. All foreigners to them, as we
know, are 'foreign devils" The en-
peror of China in proclaiming the
Japanese war applied to the enemy the
name of Awojen," or vassals. This
was meant to be an insult, and so the
Japanese took 1t, for the name they
claim is "Ji-kwo," or people of the
Land Of the Rising Sun. Other for
eign nations, however, have also had
cause to complain on this score. Ere.
quently in treaties the crafty Chinese
diplomats would insert some term that
was afterward found to be anything
but complimentary to the other par
ties. Foreign ambassadors, therefore
became more careful and employed ex-
perienced Interpreters to carefully
search all documents composed in the
Chinese language for any opprobrious
terms. When the cunning Chinese no.
ticed this they hastened to conciliate
the foreigners by applying to them the
most catering terms Of endearment,
and hence England Is today by the
Chinese called "Ying-Kwo," the -four

DYNAMITE I I'M / N ! THE MAKING.

Workmen Who Are Encircled by Death
In Gallons and Tons.
SO thoroughly deceptive is dynamite
In the making that you are apt to be
disappointed on viewing the surface
of things. You .coGild more readily
fancy thunderbolts leaping and crash
ing from tender blue skies than that
the most fearful forces in creation are
hidden under such peaceful exterior.
Nitroglycerin. cupful ofwhich would
distribute you over square miles Of
landscape, lis diligently mixing around
you in hundreds and thousands Of gal
Ions.
1t is making itself in big iron retorts,
.cascading down leaden cutters and
merrily tumbling in minute Niagaras
into immense watts, where the deli
quescent yellow peril pursues its jour
ney powderward. Out of. one recep-
tacle it fares furiously through special
lead coils, driven only by cooling blasts
Of air, and is drawn off like draft ale
and piped on to the next perfecting
stage. Gaze with the nitroglycerin ex-
pert into one Of those big caldrons.
The interior is brilliantly Illuminated
by electricity, the only illuminating
agency permitted in or about the dan
ger houses. as
Around you are other houses at uni
form distances apart and connected
by q series Of narrow gauge tracks
wherein workmen are railroading nj
troglycerin from here and pulp cotton
from there to be compounded into dy-
Mantle and blasting gelatin. Greatest
care is taken in rolling the product
from house to house. AS soon as a
loaded cart is ready to pass out of the
nitroglycerin house, for instance, a
semaphore signals from an adjoining
station, to which the consignment is
carefully hurried.
Around you are long storehouses
packed with pulp in tons of innocent
whiteness. Presently this pulp will as
sumo tan color under the nitrating
process, and then, suddenly becoming
carbonite, red cross, hercules, jIdson
and giant powder, forcite or what you
order, it develops the quasi virtues OF
dynamite-dynamite or blasting ge1a-
tin in which more natural forces are
condensed to the cubic inch than exist
anywhere else in creation. Death,
curbed and sleeping, encircles you in
gallons and tons. Anpihilation threat
ems at every turn in the form of poten-
tial pulverizing forces. But the man
and the mercury are there also, alert,
responsive, reliable.-Leslie's Weekly.

Time Killing Methods of Officials In
49,. Continental Europe.
Americans who grumble about hay
ing to wait long time for books when
applying to public library" said
Boston literary woman, SHOULD try to
work or study in foreign library, par
ticularly in Germany. a~a@ rt
1.-THE typical continental librarian
takes no account of time. The reader,
worker or student must turn in his or
her application. for books at least day
in advance. The men who search for
the books applied for are aged, totter-
ing creatures who have been shutting
around the dusty piles of books for
years, and the word hurry is not in
their vocabulary.
''The most priceless books and man.
uscripts are kept in places which are
perfect fire traps, and disorder pre-
dominates in every department. When
you speak about the impossible meth
DDS employed the librarians tell you
that they are too poor to introduce any
modern indexes or catalogues. This is
to some extent SO, but as a matter Of
fact they would not change If they
had all the money in the world at their
disposal,
'They do not wish to encourage the
common people to use books. The
learned are among the aristocracy, and
the spread of the knowledge which is
hidden in those wonderful literary mu-
seums is far from the purpose Of the
men at the head of Europe's libraries.
There may be some delay in our IL
braries, but our people in the lower
walks of life are certainly ahead Of
the common people Asf the old world in
the matter of getting books when they
want them, and generally free of
charge" New York Telegram.

The Town to Be Born In.

In the German town Of Klingenberg,
near Aschaffenberg, Bavaria, in addi-
ton to having no rates to pay for the
upkeep Of the town, those actually
born in the parish receive from the
municipality a sum Of f12 15s. a year.
This sum, If invested regularly at, say,
3 per cent, would entitle the owner to
receive about f1,500 at the age Of sixty
"a very handsome old age pension.
Were it not necessary that the inhab-
itants should prove birth in the parish
before becoming entitled to shis pay
ment the popularity Of Klingenberg as
a place Of residence would doubtless
be enormous.-Westmins Gazette.

81 Nothing better for the navy from
every standpoint has ever occurred
than the cruise of the battle feet
around the world. The improvement
of the ships in every way has been ex-
traordinary, and they have gained far
more experience in battle tactics than
they would have gained IL they had
stayed in the Atlantic waters. The
American people have cause for pro-
found qualification both In view Of the
excellent condition Of the feet as
shown by this cruise and in view of
the improvement the cruise has work
ed III this already high condition. I do
not believe that there is any other
service In the world in which the
average Of character and efficiency in
the enlisted men is as high as Is now
the case In our own. I believe that the
same statement can be made as to our
officers, taken as whole; but there
must be reservation made in regard
to those In the highest ranks as to
which have already spoken, and In
regard to those who have just entered
the service. because we do not now
get full benefit from our excellent
naval school at Annapolis. 4
1t Is absurd not to graduate the mid
shipmen as ensigns. To keep them for
two years in such an anomalous posi-
ton as at present the law requires is
detrimental to them and to the service.
In the academy itself every first class
man should be required In turn to
serve as petty officer and officer. His
ability to discharge his duties as such
should be a prerequisite to his going
into the line, and his success in COM
manding should largely. determine his
standing at graduation. The board of
visitors should be appointed in Janu-
ary, and each member should be re-
Quired to give at least six days serv-
Ice, only from one to three days to be
performed during June week, which
is the least desirable time for the
board to be at Annapolis so far as
benefiting the navy by their observa-
tions is concerned.

need OF improving their condition and
developing their resources is urgent.
IN recent years Industrial conditions
upon the islands have radically chang
ed. The Importation OF cody labor
has practically ceased, and there is
now developing such q diversity In
agricultural products MS to make posi-
Bile q change in the land conditions OF,
the territory SO that an opportunity
may be given to the small landowner
similar to that on the mainland. TO
aid these changes the national govern
ment must provide the necessary hars
Dor improvements on each island so
that the agricultural products can be
carried to the markets of the. world.
1 The coastwise shipping laws should be
amended to meet the special needs OF
the islands, and the alien contract la
bor law should be SO modified in its
application to Hawaii as to enable
American and European labor to be
brought thither.
We have begun to improve Pearl
harbor for A naval base and to pro-
vide the necessary military fortifica-
Hons for the protection Of the islands,
but ! cannot too strongly emphasize
ehe need Of appropriations for these
5 purposes OF such nm amount as will
within the shortest possible time make
those islands practically impregnable
1t Is useless to develop the industrial
conditions Of the islands and estab-
lish there bases of supply for our ma
val and merchant fleets unless we In

One thing to be remembered with all
our Notifications is that 1t is almost
useless to make them .impregnable
from the sea if they are left open to
[ land attack This Is true even of our
own coast, but 1t is doubly true OF our
insular possessions. IiIn Hawaii, for
instance, it is worse than useless to
establish a naval station unless we
establish it behind Notifications so
strong that no landing force can take

In Cuba our occupancy will cease in
about two months time. The Cubans
have. In orderly manner elected their
own governmental authorities, and the
island will be turned over to them.
/ Our occupation on this occasion has
lasted "a little over two years, and Cuba
has 1thrisen and prospered under it
Our earnest hope and one desire is
that the lpeoplesof the island shall now
govern themselves with justice, SO that
peace and order may be secure We
will gladly help them to this end, but
would solemnly warn them to re-

way people can permanently avoid

show that they both can and viii gov

Japanese Exposition.
The Japanese government has post
poned until 1917 the date Of the great
international exposition, the action be-
Ing taken SO as to insure ample time
IN which to prepare to make the ex.
position all that it should be made.
The American commissioners have
visited Japan, and the postponement
will merely give ampler opportunity
for America to be represented at the
exposition. Not since the first inter
national exposition has there been one
OF greater Importance than this will
be, marking as it does the fiftieth an
niversary of the ascension to the
throne Of the emperor Of Japan. The
extraordinary leap to a foremost place
among the nations Of the world made
by Japan during this half century is
something unparalleled in all previous
history. This exposition viii fitIy
commemorate and signalize the giant
progress that has been achieved !. 1t
is the first exposition Of its kind that
has ever been held in Asia. The Unit
ed States because Of the ancient
friendship between the two peoples,
because each of us fronts on the Pa
cific and because ,of the growing COM
mercial relations between this country
and Asia, takes a peculiar interest in
seeing the exposition made a success
in every way.
take this opportunity publicly to
state my appreciation Of the way in
which in Japan, in Australia, in New
Zealand and in all the states of South
America the battle feet has been re-
ceived on its practice voyage around
the world. The. American government
cannot too strongly express its appre-
citation of the abounding and generous
hospitality shown our ships In every
port they visited.
