The reason for the record number OF

the Spanish war, was TO go into effect. and
strenuous efforts were made to close all
pending real estate sales in order to avoid
he increased expense. Yesterdays large

scotIand's Temperance Wave.

There Is wave of fear in some parts of Scotland that the spread of the temperance movement will cause a marked decrease in the consumption of Scotch whisky, with corresponding loss to all who are interested in it's production. 'rDynamitards," as naph- tha drinkers are called. have reap peared in Edinburgh. This ''naphtha" is a milky colored compound of great staying power" and is composed of alcohol mixed with one-tenth of its bulk of methyl alcohol and three etghths of one per cent. of petroleum, with as little water added as taste calls for. It kills quickly.
 Peach mounG.
 Soak half boxful of gelatin in half a cupful of cold water until soft. Boil to 9 rich syrup one cupful each of sugar and water. Pare some fine ripe peaches and chop fine sufficient to make one and one-half cupfuls of pulp. Take the syrup from the fire, add to it the soaked gelatin, and stir well until it is thoroughly dissolved, then add the peach pulp. mix well, and set aside until cool. Stir t occasion ally until it Is beginning to thicken well. Beat the whites of four eggs un- til stiff and add them by degrees to the jellied peach mixture, continuing to whip all together until stif. Turn into wetted mold and set on ice un. til firm. To serve, turn out carefully on a shallow glass dish and hear whipped cream around the base.

THE MEXICAN WAY

There is no fear of country that Is doing the things that Mexico is do ing. It is a country that is going ahead, making money, digging mines, building irrigation ditches, harbors, ships, railroads and all that; but she $ also doing other things that are of greater importance than any of the things we have named. For in- stance, she is glorifying her heroes of peace, says the Los Angeles Times.
 There was Mexican named Jesus Garcia, a locomotive engineer. One night he pulled his train into the town Of Nacozari when the inhabitants were asleep. He discovered that two cars loaded with dynamite in his train were on fire and likely to blow up at any moment He saw that ne would have time to desert his engine. or cut it loose from the train and pull away with it out of danger and save himself. But he also saw that if he should do this he would blow up the town and kill a great many of the people who were helpless in slumber.
 The question, therefore, that pre- sented itself to Jesus Garcia was whether he should die himself and save the town, or let a hundred peo- pie die and save himself He saved the town-deliberately. he went on with his train and sacrificed his own life to save the lives of his fellow men.
 The other day the people of Mexico erected and dedicated monument to Jesus Garcia The poorest peons of NacozaTi and everywhere else in the republic gave ceDtayos to buy the marble, The government and some

THE OPEN DOOR AND THE STATE DEPARTMENT

It is interesting to know that Ja- pan and China have assured our State Department that their recent treaty involves no departure from or menace to the open door policy in Manchuria. Whether they should candidly admit, in response to a polite inquiry, that they had taken some liberties with the door. if such liberties had been slyly taken, we refrain from putting too bluntly to the confiding depart meRt
 The American people are further informed that the departments care ful study of the treaty in question and of related evidence had led it to the same gratifying conclusion. There are, we greatly fear, suspicious per sons who would like not so much a seIf-voted clean bill of health from the State Department but an analysis and interpretation of the mixing and development clauses of the treaty. That might oissipate painful doubts as to whether Tokio and Pekin diplo- macy had not outwttted the recent Washington brand or that of the Val ley Forge annex.
 Secretary Knox has given the mat ter his closest personal attention, 1t seems. That accounts for certain strange complaints and revelations as to the demoralization of the depart ment. the inpossibility of getting any business attended to, even when con sular agents are the seekers of in formation and instructions, and gen eral laxity and indifference If other American interests abroad have been somewhat neglected for months, it is well to know that the challenged clauses of the Manchurian treaty nave, next to golf. occupied the ear nest attention Of the head of the de partment.
 It remains to be seen whether the English and American correspondents ard observers in the s1== East, who have been disposed to read monopoly and special privilege in O. between the lines of the treaty. will now ex- pei their misgivings, and also wheth- CT the facts along the Manchurian rail roads will considerably support the conclusions announced from Washing ton No American wants friction with Japan or China, but there's a general feeling, based on persistent reports, that the open door will not remain ajar if some solid and curious person is not placed there to watch and lis ten-and be listened to by his su- periors.

Home I.aehina In Schools.

The ideal teacher. according to the modern standard, would be something of an Admirable Crichton. and 1t is not possible, of course, to secure all the accomplishments and virtues for each and every school at a small year ly salary. At the same time the needs of the age are developing teach CTS of much more highly cultivated and ''all around" type than has been the rule before. It devolyes upon them, as MT. Kendall pointed out, to give the child much training that be- longs to the home, but inasmuch as not all homes give this and many children would lose the most impor- tant part of their equipment if they did not get it in school, nothing is left for the schools but to furnish it.-In. dianapolis Star.
