FRON OTHER PENS
FOR THE PRESIDENCY

In view OF the popular teaching of
American experience, which is appar-
emily that some Of our greatest presi-
dents have been men Of scant prelimi-
nary familiarity with the vast federal
machine of government, while some of
our weakest have been men of long
and varied participation in national af-
fairs, the observer of the present DO
litical situation cannot count on ac-
ton by either of the parties. in MAX
ing presidential nominations, being
determined by the comparative merits
of the candidates on the score of per-
sonal training in the affairs of state
Mr.. Bryan seems to dominate his
party today, yet four years in con-
gress is the total sum of his expert
ence in public Office. and that brief ex-
perience was obtained over dozen
years ago. Governor Johnson is, ap-
parently, Mr.. Bryan's only possible

THE CIvILIZING TENDENCY.
George Eliot says in one of her books:
Every man who is not monster,
mathematician or mad philosopher is
the slave of some woman or other"
Well as there are not many monsters,
mathematician or mad philosophers,
there must be innumerable slaves, and
we have not heard any protest against
the soft Impeachment. 1t seems, IN
deed, II we analyze civilization, we will
find the final element to be feminine
supremacy. That is what the boast
means, when we declare that civiliza-
TONS highest claim Is the elevation OF
woman She is asserting her supremacy
more and more every day. For her
man is, and carries on, and saves what
money he can.
And the beauty of this is, that 1t is
all to the glory of man, for II George
Eliot is right, the number of monsters,
mathematician and mad philosophers
are growing less and less as the evolu-
ton proceeds. One can account for the
first and last characters In the schedule
of revolt against the tendency of the
age: but the mathematician, why is he
thus enrolled? One cares not to pursue
| this inquiry far; but the suggestion
comes from away off, that a man who
| inclines to calculate too nicely, or runs
| his fingers into decimals.F can never
make himself feel at home in the beau
tiful servility of civilization. He must,
therefore. be counted in with the mon

A Bit About New Zealand.

The battle fleet is to visit Australia
and New Zealand, it is said. We know
little of the former, practically
nothing OF the latter. by many trav-

country in the world south of the
equator. Our jackies may learn much
there.
The original New Zealanders were
known as the most ferocious canni-
balls and the most warlike savages;
but they possessed many noble and
affectionate traits. The warm bodies
of their enemies were cut in pieces,
broiled and devoured with peculiar
satisfaction. They were big, gaunt
fellows, of immense muscular force
and great sagacity.

Lord Macaulay, seeking for a peg
upon which to hang one of his bril-
liant literary thrusts or adjustments,
selected the Ignorant and savage

lives on the slightest provocation and
often without provocation. For in

The Diet of Royalty.

The emperor of Austria makes the
plainness of his fare something Of a
hobby, attributing to it his long life
and good health. Milk porridge for
breakfast, a little cold poultry and
cheese for luncheon, and an equally
simple menu for dinner satisfy this
emperor of Austria and king of Hun
gary Scotch broth is the only soup for
which he cares.
The kaiser is somewhat uncertain in
his demands, although, as a rule, his
wants are simple. The German royal
kitchen is one of the best equipped and
most up-to-date in the world, so that
unexpected demands are easily met. His
majesty's healthy appetite is usually
satisfied with two or three plain dishes,
a small quantity of wine, and a glass
of beer The national food-sauerkrau
has a firm friend in the emperor. One
of his favorite breakfast foods is
macaroni with hashed liver. The en-
press prefers English cooking, roast
beef being her favorite dish.
Roast sucking pig is extremely popu-
lar on the Russian imperial table, as
well as chicken and veal outlets. The
car is especially pleased when his cook
prepares a dish known as Vananek1,
which is composed of small pastries
doubled and stuffed with either force
meat. cabbage, or plum jam, the whole
being covered with rich Granular
