USED HAT AS AQUARIUM
Bavarlan Peasant Saved His ooldnsA
When orloInA Glass Be~t
Was Broken.

When a Bavarian peasant treats
himself to a new hat he does not
throw the old hat away, according
to a. Munich letter to the London
Globe. He just puts the new hat
on top Of the old one. The other
day an amusing scene was witnessed
at the Munich railway station. A
peasant who had bought a new hat
and a bowl containing several gold
fish found himself hustled by the
crowd surging at the entrance TO
N Of the platforms. In the crush
the bowl was broken and the fish
fell out.
For . moment the peasant knew
not what to do. Suddenly he made
up his mind; he snatched his two
hats from his head, and picking up
the lively fish he put them inside
the old hat, which he then filed
with water at the nearest water tap.
Carrying the improvised aquarium
the ingenious peasant entered his
train smilingly but very carefully.

A Long Way to stthe Woods.o

An Australian corporation has Just
received a concession from the Russian
government to take out 100000 feet
of timber a year from a forest in 81
IBERIA, 900 miles from Vladivostok, to
be delivered in Melbourne, Australia,
approximately 5000 miles away. 1t is
likely that no numbering operation of
recent years more strongly illustrates
the pinch in the timber supply in all
parts of the world.
The news of the concession, told in
an American lumber journal, is accom-
panied with suggestion Of the diff
Guilty that all countries may have to
encounter in getting the wood which
they need in the future Every year
timber cruisers are going farther and
farther aield and cutting trees which,
In former times of abundance, they
passed because of the inaccessibility
Of the forest. Forest experts in this
country say that the hope Of the Unit
ed States for steady supply of timber
lies In the application Of forestry to all
timber lands, private and public, and
the careful study of the economical and
better utilization Of product. And at
best a severe shortage in twenty to
twenty-five years must be expected.

American Rights In Russia.

Recently the state department at
Washington declared officially that the
United States dissents from Russia's
well known views as to the criminali-
ty Of those of her subjects who have
or may become American citizens and
the right of the car to punish them
when caught on Russian soil without
his express permission. This is a de-
cision following upon another of the
same purport which has aroused pro-
test in this country. Nearly a year ago
the state department issued a circular
to the effect that it would not tissue
passports to former Russian subjects
or to Jews who intend going into Rus
sian territory unless it has assurance
that the Russian government will con-
sent to their admission" This cir
cular further explained that a pass
port under such circumstances was I,
document tending to mislead the holder
since it does not really protect from
hardship and even imprisonment
In the recent note dissenting from
the Russian view the secretary of state
added the warning that IAN American
citizen formerly subject Of Russia
who returns to that country places
himself within the jurisdiction Of the
Russian law and cannot expect i'm
munity from it's operations 1t is
made clear that the applicants for the
passports take all the risk as to wheth-
er their return will be assented to by
Russia. There seems to be a clash
here between the international and the
domestic law, and it will not be set
tied until there is naturalization
treaty between the United States and
Russia.

A Good Stroke of Business.

The display of our sixteen warships
could not have been needed to impress
the thinking men Of South America
that the United States will be able
when the time comes to uphold the
Monroe doctrine. All the world knows
that the position this country occupies
among the powers today is not an &C.
cident and that what appears to be,
simply because of its magnitude, per-
haps, ostentatious greatness is not q
sham. But the social visits between
the personnel Of the navy and the peo-
pie Of South American cities opens up
another aspect Of our relations with
the Latin Americans. We have here
tofore been almost Industrial strangers
to the people south Of Mexico. Some
of the European nations, notably Ger
many, have pressed their commercial
interests while we slept. In Chile and
Argentina the Germans in force are
engaged in general trade and in bank
ing, while in Brazil these people exert
an important influence in governmental
and trade affairs.
Now that the citizens of the big
ports have seen our representatives on
the social side 1t will be strange if
they do not wish for a further ac-
quaintance. Trade follows the hand
shake and the cordial greeting, for peo-
pie live by buying and selling, and
they always want something new. If
this government is to protect the polit-
ical interests of the South American
states, this people should share equal
~ at least in the trade Of those states.
The situation can be improved, and the
time to act is while the people down
there still cherish pleasant memories
Of the visits of our sailors.

Women's Strength.

It seems that the doctrine set up by
the United States supreme court in its
latest decision limiting the working
hours Of women may become the pub
lie policy and practice of the whole
land. The court reached bed rock
when it declared that woman's phys
ical structure and proper discharge
Of her maternal misunderstanding in
view not merely her own health, but
the well being Of the race-justify leg
islation to protect her from the greed
as we'll as from the passions Of man."
The particular law which the court
upheld had for it's primary and it's ex-
elusive purpose the protection and well
fare of the individual and society.
In twenty states Of the Union laws
have been enacted to restrict the fac
tory hours of women to ten in one day.
In upholding these statutes the su-
preme court treats them as proper po-
lice regulations, and it must be rare
instance when such law is conceived
with view to limit freedom Of con-
tract. The court Of appeals upset the
New York law making ten hours the
limit for women on the ground that it
Disseminated with respect to the lib
critics of persons or Of contract This
adverse ruling has yet to be reviewed
by the supreme court, which has re-
peatedly held in effect that private in
terest is subservient to public interest
and that all rights are subject to such
regulation as may be Essential to the
safety, health, peace, good order and
morals of the community" The ap-
plication Of this principle in the recent
decision makes woman the ward of
the state and places her under the fos-
tering and special protection of the law
in the interest Of the human race and
posterity.

Unquiet China.

According to observers on the ground
in China, there is mischievous spirit
Of rebellion at work, and the so called
awakening" of the natives gives the
malcontents an opportunity for poison
Ing mems minds toward what is good
in foreign assistance and in the ruling
dynasty. The Celestial Empire, print
ed in English at Shanghai, saws that
with all the spirit of progress mani
tested there is also a spirit Of narrow
ness and revolt which threatens TO i'm
peril the soundness and permanence
Of the renaissance. OF the present op-
position of the natives to foreigners
this journal says: >.
Their new found strength ia running
with much force in the opposition to all
foreign aid in the development of rail-
ways, mines or other natural resources
in China. 1t is not necessary to assure
our readers that great deal of this
vigor is misdirected. It must necessarily
be so. To men so utterly ignorant of the
practical working of railways and other
engineering works as all but one in a
million of Chinese are it could not be
otherwise than ridiculous for them to
presume to have any opinion at all. Yet
the opinion Is there, strong and deter
minedly expressed. The papers are full
of the necessity of preventing foreign cap
ital from entering the country at all, and
If the officials attempt, as the more en-
nghtened do, to show that help is desira-
bic they are abused and cartooned as
allies of the foreign devil" If not as
traitors to their country.
A writer in the Chinese Recorder,
another Shanghai paper, says that not
only is there at work "a quiet and per-
sistent antiforeign propaganda" but a
public sentiment which Is strongly
"antidynastic." In other words, Chi
nese patriotism today stands for revolt
against things as they are, and the
empire is actually threatened with de-
Capitalization and anarchy. To quote
from the Recorder article:
OF riots and of attacks against or even
abuse OF foreigners there is q cessation.
The. jingoes have learned a better way.
They are using milder and much more
effective methods. For instance, many of
the popular songs that are being sung
80 widely in the schools are saturated
with fire eating and antiforeign senti-
ment. Many Of the text books used in
the schools introduce the same sort of
thing. The native newspapers report many
adverse things concerning that "undesir-
able CITIZEN" the foreigner. and in so do
ing thoy take little care to distinguish
whether the given foreigner Is a mission
ary or an adventurer or whether Roman
Catholic or Protestant The length to
which the native papers 60 in their abuse
of the foreign Office and Of the govern
ment would be almost incredible were it
not daily displayed before our eyes,

Miners Wages In Germany.

Some years ago the miners Of the
Ruhr coal district, one of the most
extensive in the German empire, ,suf-
fered a reduction in pay and within
the past year have succeeded in getting
even better rates than those prevailing
in 1900, the period Of high wages. Con
ditions are still unsettled, however,
according to a recent statement from
United States Consul Dunlap of Co
logne.
Owing to the high prices for coal the
official reports regarding wages of
miners in the Ruhr district for the
third quarter of 1907 were awaited
with considerable expectancy, there be-
ing close connection between the wages
paid miners and the prices at which
the product is sold. TO the pub
lie demands for a reduction in the
price Of coal the mine owners reply
that it Is impossible, owing to the high
wages paid miners, which are still in
creasing. Besides that, the new laws
regulating the payment of sick benefits
and pensions to disabled miners and
their families will, even If rejected by
the miners, considerably increase the
expense to the mine owners by many
million marks. At the recent meeting
Of the national miners congress in
Berlin the leaders Of the miners un-
ions in the Ruhr district complained
Of much want and misery among their
members.
The German miners last year earned
approximately $3.50 a day and other
workers in the mines about 81. These
rates were an increase over those Of
1905 of about 26 per cent for miners,
20 per cent for other workers under
ground and II per cent for laborers.
German mine workers are required
to pay large sums for the purpose Of
invalid and accident insurance. To
these funds the mine owner is required
by law to contribute as much or more.
Taking these facts into consideration
and also the fact that the new law reg
ulating these funds will add nearly
$2,5OO,O0O to the expenses Of the mine
owners In this district, an increase in
the cost Of fuel to the consumer is
most probable.
The number Of adult employees In
the Ruhr district increased during the
second and third quarters Of 1907 from
289,933 to 292, 300.

More Where the Last Came From.

Z
It is generally conceded that our
prosperity came from the ground,
where natures bounteous hand placed
the seeds if not the ripened product.
It is gratifying to be told that there is
more in the same treasure house to be
dug out in the same way. Not only is
there more Of the same sort, but so
much more that our prosperity record
can be beaten and perhaps doubled.
From the perspective of barren years
1t might be said that our enjoyment of
plenty was riotous. Perhaps it was.
The lesson Of it is worth needing, but
caution should not go to the extent Of
distrusting nature. Experts say that
what we have been taking from the
ground is but half what we might take
with proper attention to the science of
producing. They declare that our seeds
and fertilizers are not right, our meth
dds Of tillage imperfect, our live stock
very imperfect and our losses by fire
and flood and the ravages of insect life
double or treble what they need be-
In other words, for every million Of
dollars gained there might be two mil
lions gained if we would but make the
most Of our resources and our labor.
Making money enough to be happy on
for day is perhaps not the highest
good. But making money enough to
establish reserve which would tide
over lean years so that all years might
look alike would constitute complete
task, the complement Of natures thor
oughness.
