Specifically viewed, the vote in
Maine means just what the figures
there has been a falling off
of per cent in the Republican vote
and a gain of 80 per cent in the DEM
ocratic. Read in connection with the
particular issues which excited the
people, this gain and loss are of small
consequence. National matters were
discussed very little during the cam
paign, and the vote itself indicates
nothing in regard to them.
But the speculative are privileged
to go behind the returns and consider
them in relation to what is popularity
termed APATHY toward Taft" This is
phrase used by Republicans to ex-
plain the alarming lack of responsive
ness to their appeals for support. This
apathy" has manifested itself in va
rious ways 1t is dissatisfaction with
prohibition in Maine. hostility to boss
ism in New York, disgust with State
administrations in Ohio and Indiana,
and enmity to reactionary government
In the West.
What the unusual gain by the Demo
Gratis in Maine means is, in a broad
sense, a serious condition Of political
unrest The manifestation of this con-
dition takes one form here and another
there. Political discomfort seeks a
concrete target. The spirit of protest
takes strange forms and shows itself

In the old times the thirsty soul-or
or with lemonade. The chief variation
upon tlHs was iced tea and once in 4
while iced coffee. These were the only
beverages open to the drinker of tenn
perance habits. We have improved
upon that sort Of thing and have in
troduced soft" punches, in which our
old friend. lemonade. while still serv-
ing as a foundation. would not recOg-
nize itself. Tea. too, is metamOrphOs-
ed, although hardly improved, and
other mixtures of which we did not
dream in earlier days are taken as a
matter of course. The house where the
pleasantest welcome and the best and
most refreshing thirst-quenchings are
offered is likely TO be the one to which
the young people will flock. aud we
need not fear that our boys and girls
will wander Off to undesirable assocIa-
lions while they know that good things,
both spiritual and physical. await them
at home. None of the drinks given be-
low contains liquor of any sort.
Iced Tea Punch.
Make iced tea and turn 1t into a
punch bowl, on big lump of ice Add
to a quart of the strong tea table
spoonful Of lemon juice, a bottle Of
apollinaris water and sugar TO taste.
Cut thin slices of lemon and let them
float on the surface of the punch
When they are in season a few straw
berries or cherries or a bit of pine
apple may be added. Ladle out and
drink In tumblers.
Orange Sherbet.
Peel and squeeze eight large oranges
and two lemons. Put the juice of the
oranges into bowl with small cup
of granulated sugar. After il has stood
10 minutes. and the sugar is well melt
ed. add n tablespoonful of minced pine
apple. and after standing a few min
utes longer pour upon Il block of ice in
a punch bowl. Just before serving
turn in quart of apolr1naris.
Iced Coffee.
Make your coffee clear and strong,
milk. The best plan is TO have the
clear coffee in pitcher and add cream
and sugar as II is needed. To those
who have never tried it let me say that
there are many worse drinks on hot
day than good, clear coffee, served with
plenty Of ice and without cream or
sugar But the coffee must be of the
best and freshly made-not the left
overs Of the breakfast beverage.
Pineapple Lemonade.
Boil two cups of sugar and Il pint of
water 10 minutes and then set 1t aside
TO cool: When II is cold add to 1t the
Juice of three good-sized lemons and a
grated pineapple. Let this stand on
the Ice for two hours. When ready TO
serve add quart Of water, either
plain or charged" and pour on piece
OF ice in a punch bowl or in a large
pitcher.
Fruit Punch.
Make a foundation of good lemon
ade, allowing five lemons TO a quart OF
water anu sweetening to taste To
each quart of the lemonade allow half
an orange, sliced. e tablespoonful of
pineapple. cut into dice; n small
banana. sliced, and handful of cher
ries or Strawberries or raspberries,
Let all stand half an hour before Serv-
ing. and turn into a punch bowl OF
large pitcher with plenty OF ice. Stir
up well from the bottom before pouring

For a foundation for this beverage
one must have the old preparation OF
raspberry vinegar or raspberry royal.

CAUSES OF INTERNATIONAL DISPUTES.
BY Baron Takahira.

A careful study Of the international

almost as much, If not more, from
the internal conditions Of the coun-

culiar feature of such questions that
where they occur there are almost
always signs of disorder, retrogres-
sion or misgovernment.
In this respect political observation
somewhat resembles meteorological
