COST OF "rHE MAILED FIST"
Enormous Debt Accumulated by
Germany In Time OF Peace.

Enormous Debt Accumulated by
Germany In Time OF Peace.
That Germany is paying the piper
for her vast ornaments on land and
sea is strikingly shown in a paper In
the Atlantic by William @. Dreher.
Since 1877 there has been only one
year In which the national debt has
not been increased. 1t now amounts,
according to recent official statements,
to $1,O13,O 100000 or little more than
the French indemnity. The debt has
been doubled since 1895. For the last
eight years government publications
again admit, expenditures have exceed
ed receipts by $471, 100000, or an aver
age of $53, 100000 year. The nation
al debt has already cost the country
In interest and administrative expenses
about $3.50, 100000; and yet Germany
could have kept out of debt altogether,
as Prof. Schanz has recently shown,
If the revenue had been increased by
only about $12OOO,OOO yearly.
That a country with so much intelli-
gence, character and efficiency as Ger
many undoubtedly has should go on
piling up it's national debt like this
In time of profound peace is certain
ly most astonishing phenomenon, and
some explanation of it seems called for.
If we ask a bankrupt why he failed
we shall most likely learn that his
income was not big enough. If we ask
his friends they will probably tell us
that he spent his money eXtravagantly.
In the case Of Germany both explana-
lions would apply-the empire has
never had adequate and steady sources
Of revenue, and its expenditures, mig
gardly enough in many ordinary items,
have been lavish in the extreme with
the army and navy.

FOUR BOXES.
World Governed by Cartridge Box,
Ballot Box, Band Box and Jury

World Governed by Cartridge Box,
Ballot Box, Band Box and Jury
''The world is governed by three
boxes" said an American wit of a CEN
fury ago, 1.-The cartridge-box, the bal
lot-boX and the bandbox."
Between the first two of these great
governing powers no one questioned
the natural alliance; but that the sex
whose box was the bandboX should
also claim a right to use the ballot
box was, in his day, undreamed Of.
Half century later, during the Civil
War, Horace Greeley, the famous edi-
tor, held the same opinion.
Madam" he said, bluntly, at a pub
lie meeting, to the pioneer Suffragist,
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, 1.-The bullet
and the ballot go together. If you
want to vote, are you ready to fght?"
Certainly, SIR replied the quick
witted lady, to the delight OF the au-
dience. II am ready to fight just as
you have fought-with my pen"
Not all the early women suffragists
would so readily have countenanced
warfare, even in jest; for a notable
number of them were Quakers, or OF
Quaker ancestry, to whom force was
abhorrent. In the Society of Friends
the rights Of men and women have
been always absolutely equal; so that,
as Lucretia Mott declared. 1t seemed
but natural to wish to counsel and act
with men everywhere on even terms,
as she had always done in Nantucket
One Quaker philanthropist, Abby
Hopper Gibbons, who had never been
Identified with the "womans rights
women, yet acknowledged with demure
humor that, although she talked little
about her rights she had "been in the
habit of always taking them" when she
could.
Once, however, she failed to take
very important one when she was sum-
moned to do SO. She had a singularly
bold and firm handwriting easily mis-
taken for mans, and often signed
business communications A H. Glib
bons, so that she one day found her
SELF as O citizen and a taxpayer i'm
peratively required, in the name of the
law, to furnish reasons why she should
not serve as a juror.
II know of none," she wrote serene
ly at the foot of this formidable docu-
ment, and sent it back. But the off
cial who read this apparently imperti-
nent response must have investigated
the record of his correspondent, and
found a reason; for A. H. Gibbons,
householder Of New York, was excused
from service in that fourth box, so i'm
portant in civilized communicative

GLossoLOGY A NEW SCIENCE.
Your Tongue Tells Tales Even when
1t Is Not Wagging.

The Germans have new science
which they call glossology. The pro-
fessor Of glossology are able, they say
to read mans character by the shape
and capacity for movement OF MS
tongue, a Berlin letter to the New YORK
World says They do not say anything
about reading a woman's character, but
the presumption is that women are in
cluded. 1t is not a difficult science,
and infallibility is claimed for 1t. All
you have got to do is to show your
tongue and the glossologist reads your
character.
A man with long tongue, it is as
serted, has an open, courageous nature;
a short tongue shows a reserved and
hypocritical nature; broad tongue In
dicates chatty person, and narrow
one a selfish person, living only for
himself, and unsociable. A man with
a tongue both long and broad is
person who is inconseQuent, and man
with a long and narrow tongue does
not treat truth seriously. A short and
broad tongue is the sure mark Of liar
and boaster, and tongue with point
betrays a man Of acuteness and one
who employs sharp and bitter methods
of speech.
Glossology might be usefully intro
duced into drawing rooms to replace
character reading from handwriting
and the usual forms Of palmistry.
authority here that the tongue of
glossologist would show distinctly that
he was charlatan or an idiot.

In late years good deal has been
said about the changing seasons, the
striking contrasts between our winters
and the old-fashioned ones, the skating
delights that are gone, the trials of old
settlers, and so on. What are the facts?
Is there any scientific evidence of
change in the character of our winters?
Some time ago the Federal weather
bureau published compilation of Of
icial, private and semi-oficial tempera-
ture data covering the fifty years ended
with 1904 The table disposed Of the
theory Of old-fashioned winters. 1t
showed, for example, that at Cincinnati
the mean winter temperature for the
years 1879-1904 was rather lower than
that Of the preceding twenty -fve-year
period. At Cleveland and st. Louis the
average for both periods was identical.
Here is the table itself:
