Happy Children.

Fifteen hundred children were yester-
day made happy by The Washington
Herald. They made a merry Easter
party at the Columbia Theater, where
for two hours they were entertained by
Lyman H. Howe with programme of
interesting pictures. The children were,
as far as possible, those to whom an ex-
perience of this kind was novelty. They
were taken from the orphan asylums
and from homes where life is not all
pleasure, and their manifestations Of de-
light would have made the most in
different heart respond with generous
thrill.
The splendid behavior of the children
their quick appreciation of the humorous
pictures; their prompt recognition of the
portraits of well-known people; their
outspoken comments upon the beauty OF
the scenes in foreign lands; their un-
stinted and spontaneous applause-all
these were features of the Easter enter
tainment which made all the trouble and
the expense we'll worth while.
1t was a great treat for the children,
but if they enjoyed themselves half as
much as those who sought to give them
a pleasant hour they will remember the
occasion as long as they live.

QUEER BRUSHES AND COMBS.
Animals that Use Tongues to Clean
Their Glossy Coats or Hides.

From Our Dumb Animals.
The cat carries her clothes brush in
her mouth, for with her rough tongue
she cleanses her glossy coat as a boy
brushes of his clothes. She licks one
OF her front paws and rubs 1t over her
face. and she is ready for her breakfast.
Foxes. dogs, and wolves do not use
their mouths when they need to wash
end brush, but scratch themselves with
their hind paws and are as fresh as ever.
The COW, with her long. rough tongue.
combs her coat OF hair until 1t Is clean
and curly. The horse. more than any
other animal depends on its owner to
keep its coat in proper condition, but
often he will roll on the green grass or
rub himself down against tree or fence.
Field mice comb their hair with their
hind legs, and the fur seal in a similar
manner spends as much time as a woman
in making herself look smart.
Although the elephant appears to be
thick-skinned and callous, he takes great
care of his skin. He often gives him.

Congress and the Business Outlook.

The president of the largest bank in
New York City, after visit in the West,
reports recuperative conditions, with a
promise of business revival on sound
foundations Receding tendencies in
business are noticeable in cottons, where
the mills for some time have been under
taking drastic curtailment The iron and
steel industry is also experiencing re-
newed quiet. Sales of wool remain
heavy, but at the expense of prices, and
farm products continue to go up.
We face the tariff uncertainties in
volved in the extra session of Congress,
and the disposition of business enter
prise to go slow will likely continue for
while. But business sentiment over
the country has changed in recent years
respecting the tariff and tariff reduc-
tions There no longer exists the old
intensity of dread and belief in the de-
structive consequences of freer trade
besides which. commercial interests real
ize that no radical measures can be en-
acted into law. and they are already ad-
justing themselves to the possibility OF
minor changes in the tariff.

Figures.

The science of numbers has a re-
markable fascination for the human
mind We deal in figures as though
they were most convincing. and in this
material age they are the basis of every
argument In the olden days the col
lege graduate discussed the civilization
of Rome and Greece and dealt with SUBJ
jects of the fancy and the imagination.
To-day he writes an essay on the corpo-
ration tax or the advantages of cen
trail banking system. We revel in mil
lions and billions and analyze the cost
per capita as though the difference be-
tween I per cent and 10 per cent was
the ultima Thule OF existence.
Notwithstanding this, we venture to
assert that, after all. the only figures that
really appeal to the average mind are
figures of speech A man may defer to
a row of digits, but his heart will re-
main untouched. To state that thou
sands of children go to school insuffi-
ciently fed is not as convincing as de-
tailed and graphic account of few in
stances. The mind responds to a soli-
tary vivid example, to the single flashing
phrase.
That is why we must take issue with
the habit of stating human values in
terms of dollars and cents 1t is not
impressive to point out that every death
from tuberculosis represents a loss OF
$4,000 to a community. What every
death from tuberculosis really means is
the blighting of living hopes, the closing
of human account which is written ir
nights of despair and in aching hearts.

A Court of National Arbitration.

The plan for permanent national
court, of arbitration, suggested by Presi-
dent Delano, of the Wabash Railroad, is
of more material importance than the
plans for international arbitration which
are the object of general agitation. The
actual loss and menace of industrial war
is greater than that of international
conflict. President Delano wants per-
manent court for the trial of industrial
causes. Congress has created a court
of customs and court of commerce for
the trial of questions of interstate COM
merce Further specialization in the
creation of a court of industry would
seem natural sequel.
Public sentiment is strong against rail-
road strikes or labor troubles that inter-
fere with the interests of communities.
A law prohibiting such strikes has
been suggested, but before such law
is passed. a substitute for the strike as
a method of settlement must be provided
Such a substitute is at hand in the ju-
dicial system by which individuals settle
their disputes according to law and
equity, and which may be extended to
serve in the settlement of industrial dis
putes between groups of individuals.

TRYING IN THE NEWSPAPERS.
Counsel for Charles H. Hyde Pays
His Respects to the Press.

OOunoeI IOE Cn0rIe8 H. hyoe fays
His Respects to the Press.
From the New York Globe.
Samuel Untermyer, who has undertaken
with zeal the business of protecting the
legal interests of Charles H. Hyde, Is so
vehemently opposed to trying cases in
the newspapers that he contributes to
the newspapers a column defense OF his
client and assault on his critics. If Mr..
Untermyer makes himself understood the
newspapers should not only refrain from
expressing any opinion concerning Mr..
Hyde's guilt or innocence, but should
sternly suppress any facts concerning
his case that are brought to their atten-
ton. I'm the interest of the decent ad-
ministration of justice" oracularly says
Mr.. Untermyer. lit should be unlawful to
print anything purporting to emanate
from the grand jury room"
II the public is injured by emanations
from the grand jury room it would seem
as if Mr.. Untermyer should complain to
and of the "leakers' rather than of the
newspapers. A newspaper is a human in
stitution-very human, one may say
and the only effective way to keep It
from publishing things is not to let 1t
know them. 1t is a severe strain on a
newspaper to ask 1t to suppress facts,
even OF an ex parte investigation. that
come into its possession. From the very
nature of Investigations one side is pre-
sented at a time. 1t isn't feasible to be
silent until the defense is heard.
As to the guilt or innocence of Mr..
Hyde there is, as properly there should
be, a suspense of judgment. None except
the deliberately unfair will form an ad-
verse judgment until he has had the
fullest opportunity TO give his side of the
story. The public is aware that a grand
jury hears only the case of the prosecu-
ton. and thus is on its guard against
regarding what 1t ascertains as conclu-
sive. The public is fully aware that GER
tain persons are after" Hyde because
this seems the best way to hit the mayor,
but this is so obvious that it is not likely
that many will be led astray. Mr.. Un-
termyer need not be perturbed-there is
little danger of his client being denied a
square deal.

Investing Time.

From the New York Mail.
An employe of large glass works in
New Jersey has made what is said TO
be the smallest perfect bottle ever pro-
Guced. 1t is not only SO small that an
ordinary house fly would more than fill
it. but 1t is fiawless in form and finish,
and is fitted with a ground glass stop
Per like those that go with the finest
bottles of ordinary size. Doubtless the
making of that little bottle had a peculiar
interest for the man who produced It,
He spent many hours upon it, and in
finished form 1t constituted a unique ex-
ample of his handicraft. Yet one may
wonder whether the time spent in max
ing that little bottle was wisely invested.
after all. The same amount of time
spent in the practical work Of spring
gardening would seem a decidedly more
profitable investment, as the average
ran considers 1t.
