The President and Peace.

President Taft's proposition for enlarged
arbitration is misinterpreted abroad, both
by some of those who favor, and some
Of those who oppose it. They read i'm
mediate or early disarmament in it. and
praise or condemn accordingly Prob
ably the former have done it the more
harm.
In England the peace-at-any-price peo-
ple-unintentionally the worst enemies of
peace-are enthusiastic beyond bounds.
They hail the President as the advance
agent of the millennium. and want the
government TO sign with him for any
and every thing he may submit. They
see their dreadnoushts. and everybody
else's, disappearing between suns. and
only commercial craft left floating on
the face of the waters.
In Germany those who believe in force
when force is necessary, and cannot con-
Ceive of A time when men in an emer-
Sency will not use force, are the stronger
in their opposition because of this Eng
lsh mistake. 1t encourages them to
doubt if the President sees his way
through the subject. Satisfied that he
is wrong as to that. they conclude that
there is nothing whatever of a substan-
tial nature in his proposition.
m equally regrettable thing has hap
p-ned in the matter of Canadian reci-
procity. Some CT the friends of that
proposition have hailed it as a step
toward American annexation of Canada,
with that object in view, and by that
Interpretation have injured It. But 1t
has no such object. 1t means simply
what 1t says. and If enacted into law
will accomplish no more than its terms
signify. 1t is a trade, and not a po-
Htical, pact. Both America and Canada
will profit by 1t. but 1t need not bring
them. soon or late. into political union.
So in the case of enlarged arbitration.
1t Is something good In itself. 1t is cal
culated to promote peace, and preserve
it when secured. 1t is a condemnation
Of sudden heat and passion in the spirit
Of a people. and a provision for settling
great and grave disputes by civil means
All nations would profit by 1t. though
not one Of force of character would be
changed in character by the new agency.
There would still remain human nature
to be reckoned with; and human nature.
in its last analysis, has always spelled.
and always will spell, force. The strong
will continue to rule and the weak often
TO suffer; though the strong may be
restrained from too ready appeal to
force and suffering be reduced by an
agreement among the strong in line with
the Presidents suggestion.
Probably no head of a great nation.
whether holding Office by inheritance or
through popular choice. really leans to
war as q remedy. All desire peace. But
he would be very incompetent man
for his place at the head of nation
who should fail to gauge his own peo-
pie or others by any other than the
human rather than the millenniaIistic
standard.

The Egotist.

The egotist, I know him well!
He thinks, with an assurance fine,
I ought to note the tales he'll tell,
Instead of giving ear to mine.
He makes ME harken now and then
70 what he calls merry jest,
Nor heeds the quips Id offer, when
know they are by far the best.
On matters grave I must endure
His comments with scant meaning
fraught,
When my opinions, / am sure,
With profit always might be sought
The egotist-I know that elf.

Italy 81 up into the kingdoms of Sardi-
ma and of the two Siciiies. the Papal
states, the eNard duchy Of Tuscany. the
duclies of Parma and Modena and the
provinces Of I+Nnbardy and Venetia, ruled

been temporarily deposed by the revu;u-
tionary movements of 1S4S were back in
their old places. The attempt of the
King OF Sardiria to Srive the Austrians
out of Ita:y had failed, and he had alb

freed, united Italy never could be real.

Sing as a result Of Burns investiga-
tions.
The case of Taylor and Bredell in
1899 was one of the most extraordinary
in the annuls of counterfeiting. The
two men were hit upon by a process
of deduction and elimination. for there
were no clews that could be used. The
fact that the counterfeit note was alb
solutely perfect indicated that a cam
era had been used. Then il was found
that their process was to transfer a
photograph to a steel plate, etch the
latter enough to bite the lines, and
then engrave by hand-a feat that had
hitherto been considered impossible.
They We're arrested, but while they
were in prison Taylor's mother SNUG
gled in the necessary tools and ma
terials and the two men engraved the
plates i'm their cell under a blanket
with the aid of an alcohol lamp. 1t
took them ten months to complete the
work. but they actually printed the

sALTlNG BABIES.

a strange custom OF sailing newborn
babies is still practiced, we read, in
certain remote regions of Europe and
Asia. The mother imagines that this
custom brings health and strength TO
her children and serves TO keep away
evil spirits as well. Among the Ar
menians OF Russia IL is the custom to
cover the entire skin OF the infant with
very fine salt. This is left on the baby
for three hours or more, when IL is
washed off with warm water. The
women Of mountain tribe Of Asia
Minor are even more peculiar, for
they are alleged TO keep their newborn
babies covered with salt for a period
OF twenty-four hours. The modern
Greeks also sprinkle their babies with
salt; and even I'm certain parts OF Ger
many salt Is still used on a child at
birth.--I.Ondon Globe.
