MEN MUST WEAR PADS.

New York Cor. Chicago Inter Ocean.
 Spring styles have yeered again. accord ing to the dictum of the American Style and Fashion show persons, and any of the swagger young chaps you see nowadays without the fawn curves, zebra stripes and hipful hips must be rated passe.
 Incidentally, an aeroplane top coat. with parachute effect when subjected to wind, is deemed as in order.
 The place de resistance of the whole kit is the evening coat Men in evening clothes will now resemble prize fighters ina chest and hip measurements. F. T. Croonborg, one of the sartorial sages, says that hips and chests have been passed up by women and that man now has a license to bring out eonspicuously these physical attributes.
 If he has some chest, his tailor will give him more. If he has no chest his nice young pads will be affixed over his nominatum-meaning over his hips which will convey to observers the sug- gestion that he Is a splendidly propor- tioned chap and likely a capable fighter, either on the gridiron or at the bar This is called artistic padding by MT. Groom borg.
 As for the color scheme, they say that stripes should be in line with zebra shades, except for evening attire, which remains black despite the inroads of the gray and green, which did not win much favor.

HOW HUNTERS DRESS IN AFRICA.

From the Metropolitan Magazine
 We both wore khaki for daytime and warm clothes for night when sitting around the camp. as after the sun goes down a great chill immediately settles down that makes Ninter clothing and a good big fire most essential
 During the daytime we always wore pith helmets. although sometimes early in the morning and late in the afternoon, when the sun is not at it's maximum, a double terai felt hat may be substituted. It is far more comfortable than the helmet, and some men wear them altogether, but the helmet is generally considered prefer able.
 As additional protection we wore sun pads, which covered the spine These are merely heavy quilted strips that reach iron the collar to below the shoulders, ! as we were advised tbat the effect of the sur was just as deadly at this point as on the head. l do not know what maximum the thermometer would reach in the sun, as I was afraid to leave it exposed when fl got higher than a little above 150 de- grees, as $ beyond that point there was great danger of breaking it. In the shade the temperature would be usually from S5 to 100 degrees, but there was always a breeze blowing and the dryness of the air cooled one off quite rapidly as soon as one got out of the sun. It was always cold in the morning. when we started oat at the first peep of light. and we wera usually shivering for a few minutes prior to the suns appearance. Day does not dawn in equatorial Africa, but it bursts. It is dark one minute and full sunlight the next, for the sun goes down and the night comes on as if curtain had suddenly been pulled down over the west and the chill of night begins in- stantly.

Past and Future.

For several weeks, after the panic of 1907 business men and economists were advancing ideas as to what caused it." said Robert A. Anderson a manufacturer of St. Louis. Some said 1t was President RooseVelts 'trust-busting propensity. Others traced the panic to populistic leg isation in certain states. But the cons sensus of opinion was that oyer-produc- ton and over-speculation had more to do with precipitatng the panic than anything else. The panic had to come, no matter what caused it, and although it was vio- lent and brought temporary depression, it resulted in a much-needed house clean ing, so to speak. The new era of pros- perity that is not far off will be well con- ditioned and everything will start off on a healthy basis
 q look for a genuine industrial revival, and believe the next two or three years will be the most prosperous in our history. If southern legislatures have been too radical and have frightened capital the experience of the past year will have the effect of bringing politicians to their senses. I think 1t is safe to say that if railroad rate regulation were an issue now, wage-earners and business men would be almost a unit against any dras- tic experiment The people are in favor of a 1ive-and-let-live' policy, and 1t will be many year before radical leaders will again command a large following

Art In tha Tariff Bill

The ad Yalorem duty of 20 per cent will remain, according to the Payne bill, on all pictures and statuary less than 20 years old, while all art works more than 20 years old will be placed on the free list Doubtless these pro visions will stay in the bill. There seems to be no reason why all objects of beauty should not come in free, but the present provision is better than none at all. The 20-year clause will suffice for the present.
 Peter A. B. Widener, himself an art collector, estimates that there are works of art held and stored across the sea to the value of $30,000,000, be- longing to Americans, which will be brought in at once if the Payne bill becomes law. MT Widener owns some of these works and ex-Senator Clark owns mOTes anu J. T. Moi6 6dh stiii more. These collections will, as rule, be handed over in the course of time to public galleries, where they will be accessible to art students and will serve to develop the taste and artistic knowledge of the public in general. The beautiful is a great eiyilizsr, and the man who sees even annually fine collection of paintings and statuary be- comes by reason of his opportunity a better man and even better citizen. Art has humanizing effect as well as an influence over artistic sensibilities. Let the older pictures come in free, even if the newer ones must be taxed

Regarding the Tariff.

Henry Clews in his financial review for the week just ended says in part:
 "As to the tariff, little progress has been made, though quite as much as ex- pected. It must be taken for granted that the worst is known in the matter of revision. The Payne bill, while contain ing some glaring defects. was upon the whole a measure which indicated an earn est effort toward tariff revision.
 Tt is conceded that the rates as re- ported in that bill were the lowest which could be possibly enacted. Consequently the worst is known as to changes of that character, and the probabilities are that during the discussion many changes will be made, and these will be chiefly in the direction of higher rates than those named in the original draft. This, of course, while discouraging to tariff re- formers, will be reassuring to manufac- turers and others dependent upon tariff support. The great body of manufact- urers and merchants are now more in- jured by uncertainty than by any prob able revision. Their chief desire Is to have these problems and irritating dis cussions ended in order that they may go ahead with plans and work either con templated or begun"

eounteryailing duty. There are mil lions in it, and the breakfast table will be taxed almost beyond endurance in the homes of the peor and dependent. This is the kind of free breakfast table that Aldrieh and Dalzell offer us in lieu of an income tax. If new taxes must be imposed, says Wayne MacVeigh, brother of Secretary Frank lin MaeYeigh, why should the colossal accumulations of the possessors of what MT. Carnegie himself calls sur plus wealth, continue to be exempted from taxation?"
 The republicans will have to answer this question, if they prefer coffee to an income tax, in the fall of 1910, when a new Congress is to be elected.

France Is Bitter.

Paris. March 2s.-The reverse in- flicted on the Anglo Franco Russian alliance by the Austro-G German combi- nation in the Balkan negotiations has created much bitterness here. French diplomats hold that M Iswolsky, the Russian foreign minister, is largely re- sponsible, charging that in order to vindicate himself he made a deal with Baron Non Aehrenthal at Buchlau, and secured the privilege of directing the negotiations on the ground that Russia was pfedominantly interested in the Balkans.
 France and Great Britain, whose pur- pose was to safeguard the principle that the treaty of Berlin could not be modified without the consent of the signatories, loyalty ranged themselves behind Russia,
 According to the French view the fle- gotiations soon degenerated into a per sonal duel between M. Iswolsky and Baron Won Aelrenthal. At critical mo- ments neither France nor Great Britain was consulted. Russia announced that she would not make the Balkans a .casus belli and constrained France and Great Britain to peaceful diplomacy, which was condemned to failure in advance, a it seemed certain that Aus tria and Germany were. prepared to throw their swords in the scale.
 When finally Russia surrendered, neither Great Britain nor France was anotified.
 Another such. defeat and the new triple alliance can dissolve" says LOpinion. Baron Won Aehrenthal. who was ridiculed in the beginning as the imitator of Metternich, proves him self to be veritable Bismarck"

DISEASE WITH TERRIBLE NAME.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 A new disease has been invented by the learned doctors which they call zoophil- thenia or obessive psychosis. This is ter rible. One would think from the mere appearance of the formidable names that it was catching and necessarily fatal Re- duced to common terms 1t seems to mean love of animals, which is not so terrible after all. It appears that this disease is a phase of the current sneurasthenia which is making such havoc in society of the artificial kind. It is phase of Hove me, love my dog" raised to the nth power, resulting in mental alteration, insanity and, too, often. suicide.
 It appears that the disease is not one that is strongest in old maids. The mar ried women, and even men, suffer from it also. The learned physician who has in- vented the disease tells of patient who lost a child without much suffering but went to pieces when a favorite cat died. This is condition of things which is rather new and is attributed to the lack O. generally healthful education, work and social conditions. It is abnormal, but is the result of general conditions rather than of acute mania in any partic- ular instances. In its milder forms it is exhibited by persons who send their dogs out in carriages with maids for an airing or who have elaborate funerals when pets

OUTWITTING BURGLARS
From Answers.

From Answers.
 ONE four years ago a great Lon 0O don bank moved its premises " from one side of the Strand to the other.
 Some millions of cash and securities. with great chests full of valuables of all sorts. gold plate and jewsSs were carted across the busiest street in London in a private brougham and a few handcarts
 few weeks ago New York bank re- moved from its old quarters to new, and 100 stalwaft police guarded huge steel clad wagons, which were protected from assault not only by armed men, but by a device for squirting scalding steam over any who attempted raid.
 But there were no Tottenham anarchists present, and, though a great crowd as- sembled, many of them known crooks and criminals. none attempted an assault on the ponderous vehicles.
 Steam at high pressure is no novelty as a gold guardian. When the tramp staam- CT Aranan sailed for the Philippines with e2000O0 in silver in her hold, the captain received warning that pirates in the China sea were planning to raid her Part of her cargo was dozen small, second-h hand railway engines.
 The captain had a railway track con- structed all around the decks of his ship. and as soon as he neared Chinese waters the engines were brought up placed on the track and fitted with fire hose Then steam was got up A couple of big, ugly looking junks did heave in sight but the weird arrangement on the Aranans decks evidently frightened them. They sheered off in a hurry.
 Next to steam, water is, perhaps, the best of anti-burglar inventions The mill lions locked in the huge strong room of the Bank of England are guarded by water. The foundation of the vaults, 66 feet below the level of the streets, is a bed of concrete 20 feet thick. Above the

Selection of Senators

Nebraska has adopted the double primary plan of Oregon in the selec- tion of United States Senators. The first primary selects party choices, and the next primary held on election day names the choice of the state. Candi- dates for the legislature are given an opportunity to say what they would do if elected.
 The Chicago News, independent re. publican, says: Illinois ought to take the further steps necessary to put the Oregon plan into operation. The pres ent deadlock at Springfield affords am- pie proofs of this. A good beginning was made in the provision of the pri- mary law under which the party voters are enabled to express their preference at the primaries. This, however, is not enough to clinch the matter. Let the voters say in an unequivocal manner who Is their choice for Senator. Then the legislators will not dare to juggle with the verdict"
 The drift of public sentiment inclines 10 the Oregon plan, and the election of democratic Senator in Oregon by a republican legislature has led the voters in all states to believe that the popular will plainly and definitely ex- pressed will not be disregarded.

WORK ON TARIFF.
Ways and Means Committee Works
 On Sunday.

Washington, March 2S.-The tariff sit- uation in the House is no neaser solu- ton tonight than since the opposition to various schedules developed among the republicans several days ago. Speaker Cannon conferred with President Taft at the White House tonight regarding the situation and the ways and means com mittee was fin session throughout the day. The committee decided upon numerous amendments. which 1t will offer to the bill.
 Representative Dwight soe New York the republican whip. has been instructed to have all the majority members pres ent on Thursday. This is taken to mean either that a caucus will be held to adopt plan with regard to the consid- eration of the tariff bill for amendment or that rule will be brought in to shut off further general debate.
 The committee gave some consideration to the paragraph on coffee today This and the paragraphs affecting crude pe- troleum, free hides, bituminous coal, lum- Der and iron ore, 1t is understood, will be opened for amendment by the pro- posed rule

EYnanSlnn of Mexico

The Mexican Herald, published in the City of Mexico, and, presumably, rehecting public sentiment in that city, thinks the one true way to end picker ings and quarrels in Guatemala, Hon duras, Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica is to be found in their annexation to Mexico.
 The idea is a good one. It does not cross in anywise the Monroe doctrine, for that relates to territorial acquisi- tions in this hemisphere by European powers, and not to expansion by American countries. Mexico is free to absorb the fighting little states that lie south of her territory, and the en- tire continent would look on approv ingly.
 There will be no peace and develop ment in the five republics until they get lnto slFpuS hdnus. 1he9 ai0 i"ii of natural resources, but those re- sources cannot be developed while they are fighting among themselves. Capital cannot be enlisted for that pur- pose Mexico can attract capital and make the five states fruitful and highly prosperous. It is a duty that Mexico will soon or late assume for the com mon good of all the Americas.

MODELS AS WIVES.
rom the London Standard.

From the London Standard.
 Models of dressmakers are not always xodels of wives, argued a lawyer when pleading in the Paris divorce court for a Paris costumer. This person had par ticular fancy for models. He married one long ago. whereupon she ruined his business and drove him to seek and ob- tain a divorce But, not content with this experience, the fashionable dressmaker married a second model after he had re- covered part of his lost fortune. She turned out no better than the first, and did ever worse by running away with an "amant." The lawyer concluded as follows: DO not refuse my client the divorce he asks for. There are still plenty of other models in the Rue de la Paix and the Place Vendome, and perhaps" The court very generously granted the dressmaker the divorce he asked for, leav- ing him at full liberty to choose a third "mannequin for his wife.
