The White Race as Flesh Eaters.

From Harpers Magazine.
At the. present time We see that GER
tain oriental races. by their content
ment with lower standard of living,
can undersell and would eventually dis
place the western races by their cheap
ness. provided they can live under the
shelter Of the white mans system OF
law and order. Sooner or later the
white man reyolts and refuses to submit
to competition on these racially unequal
terms: he excludes the oriental by force,
and his continued ability to do so Will
depend upon the vigor the initiative,
we might even say the masterfulness
of the community he develops. Now
these qualities are OF the sort which we
cannot help associating with fiesh-eating
races, and we have been endeavoring to
show that there is some scientific as we'll
as sociological basis for this connection.
So we take leave TO doubt whether the
human race will eventually become vege-
tarians. nor can We, as lovers of a rich
and full-blooded people likely to remain
dominant in the press OF nations. adj
yocate the spread OF vegetarianism. de-
spite it's undoubted economy. For men.
as for nations. vegetarianism Is one form
OF the Polonius creed OF playing safety.
but playing safety at best only secures
an undisturbed existence and may only
end in an early and unhonored grave.

sible profaner of all that England holds
dear. Some very amusing passages at
arms occurred between Thorpe and men,
bers of the Fletcher Mytton family. and
the climax is reached when Molly is inn
prisoped in her room and the wheels Of
the law are set in motion to release her.
1t is quite characteristic of Thorpe that
he elopes with Molly over the Alps, leav-

that are strongly suggestive of Bernard

THE SOVEREIGN POWER. BY Mark
Lee Luther. author of The Cruel

Company. Washington: Brentano's
The aeroplane novel is now a fixed
factor in modern fiction. Nor can the use
of the flying machine be deemed a stretch
Of plausihility, for every day the news
dispatc hes bring word OF fresh marvels in
the air, flights across the water and over
the land and flights for social as we'll as
business purposes. 1t is quite acceptable.
therefore. that the author of this story
of modern European intrigue should in
troduce an airplane as an element In in
ternationel politics. as well as a stirring
affair of the human heart. A Balkan
prince who Is trying to unite the people
and establish a nation makes a strange
alliance to the beautiful American heiress,
who agrees to pose as his fiancee for a
time to forward his political aim. Mean
while, q young American aviator COM
plicates the situation, and the happy
ending is not reached until the author has
a chance to show how valuable the air
plane can be in a personal and political
crisis. This is a stirring, well written, en-
tertaining story.

New York. The European countries are
alive to the same situation. They have
come to realize that their future pros
perity depends upon the constant employ
ment of their working people. and to the
carrying out of this idea may be attrib-
uted the wonderful strides that Germany
has been making during the last few
years. Municipal employment agencies
have been established and maintained at
government expense, and these agencies
have succeeded in SO directing the move
ment of the laborers of the empire that
very few are ever out of employment.
Austria has taken up this work along
largely the same lines as Germany.
England is following suit and IS making
great efforts to find work for her millions
of unemployed. The prosperity of Aus
tralia and New Zealand may be attributed
to the interest the governments of those
countries have taken in finding employ
iEnent for their people.
1T is inimical TO the best interests of
this state and nation to allow vast
number of citizens to continue In idle
ness through ignorance OF where work
may be secured. With surplus of help
at one point and a scarcity Of such help
at another, ii would be an easy matter TO
put those desiring work in touch with
those opportunities The population or
our almshouses. penitentiares, jails and
insane asylums is rapidly increasing and
entails constantly increasing expense
to the taxpayer. This is largely due to
enforced conditions of idleness, which so
readily lead to crime. We believe that
a large number of the unemployed Of
the cities. the most of whom have knoWl-
edge of some branch of farm work.
would gladly embrace an opportunity to
exchange the unnatural and conseSted
conditions of the city TO that of the coun-
try. If those opportunities. could be
brought to their attention.
Covers All Glasses.
Massachusetts ard Illinois have for
several years maintained labor bureaus
in various cities, having for their OBJ
ject primarily the distribution of farm
labors but which have been extended to
cover all classes of labor seeking en-
ployment. both skilled and unskilled.
During the years in which the Massachu-
sets bureau has been in operation, from
10000 to $1,000 people have applied an
nually for positions and q large number
of them have been found places. The
expense of the state has been found
about $4,000 each year. During the ten
years in which the bureau has been in
operation in Illinois more than 4jO.WO
people lave found employment through
its good offices and the expense to the
state has been about $4,000 annually. If
we consider the earning power OF an in
dividual at as low a figure as even 500
a year. the placing in remunerative posi-
tons Of the estimated 10000 idle OF
the state would mean an increased earn
ings of S20.OG0COo annually, and in the
aggregate vast decrease in the amount
necessary for their maintenance in pub
lie institutions and in the demands upon
private charity. II should be the first
duty of the state to assist in lifting no
and lettering the condition OF even her
humblest citizens.

New York: Dodd. Mead & Co.
Patience sits on q monument and smiles
at Grief. Taking her for his model the
author stands on the edge of everyday
happenings and snaps them up with his

Human nature is greedy over the

Father of Antiseptic Surgery.

From Tit-Bits.
Lord Lister, who recently celebrated his
eighty-fou birthday, is the medical
genius who discovered and introduced the
antiseptic method OF surgery. thereby
ma king possible the almost incredible OPP
erations performed by doctors today. Be-
fore his discovery it is estimated that
nearly so per cent of surgical operations
proved fatal owing to septic poisoning.
Lord Lister, like many other scientists,
has a wide interest In things, and his
powers OF observation are abnormal.
Speaking OF this on one occasion. he re-
marked on the great advantage OF draw
ing as a training for observation The
man who sketches" he said. looks and
looks again at an object. and thus the all
important habit of correct observation is
acquired"

products for coatings and glaZings will
be considered by the conventions now in
progress in Boston. 1t is generally felt
that 1t is better for the general trade to
supply wholesome candy rather than the
highly glazed and ornamented pieces that
require the Introduction of foreign sub

receive the general commentator of the
confectioners. who agree that all candy
should be kept under glass cases. so
that it may not be polluted by dirt and
insects flying in the air
The use of left-overs in the candy store
is as puzzling to the confectioner as it is
to the average home cook. All leftover
candies represent certain amount of
good material. They are unstable in
their present condition. Some hard can
dies. like taff1es. can be recooked and
made into butter chips or nut brittle,
although sometimes sugar loses its life"
in the recooking process and does rot
harden properly. Cream candies and va
rious other kinds may be made up into
caramels. In fact. the caramel serves
the confectioner in the same way that
the croquet or hash serves the housewife.
There are various forms of these, many
OF which contain fruit and nuts, which
properly handled will make attractive
caramels. Notwithstanding the fact that
their ingredients first appeared in other
forms They can be made wholesome and
attractive, and what more does the pub
lie want?

The confectionery trade of the United
States is looking forward with interest
to the meeting in Boston next week OF
two important trade bodies, the National
Confectioners' Salesman's Association and
the National Jobbing Confectioners' AS
ISOLATION These two bodies represent
the bulk of the machinery OF wholesale
candy selling in this country and Canada,
and as their business life depends on
the retail trade. they will consider all
of the new problems of the candy BUSH
ness. more especially those arising out of
the general demand for a strict enforce
ment of pure food regulations with re-
spect to confections.
The United States has become a nation
of candy eaters, and the amount OF
sweets consumed per capita during the
last year seems appalling as compared
with that of a generation ago. New
York is the largest candy center of the
world. More than 10000 tons of candy
were consumed in that city during the
last year The foreign immigrants In
America eat more candy than do the
native-borns. and the native poor buy
a much larger quantity than the rich.

classes at least ten pounds are made and
sold to the poor While some candy is
made to sell for so cents and a dollar a
pound, the bulk of it is manufactured to
retail at 10 or l. cents. The average
price for candy sold in America last
year was estimated at about Is cents a
pound retail. including the penny trade

Big Profit in e

large public schools. The capital invested
Is a mere bagatelle compared with that
required for most other stores, and the
sales are practically all cash. The labor
of selling is greater than that Of other
stores in proportion to the amount of
money taken in, but this Is counterbal-
anced by the small risk Of loss on unsoid
goods. More than J0.00OOoO copper cents
were made last year in the Philadelphia
mint and they represent only a small
fraction of the number passed over the
confectionery counters Of the country for
q penny's worth of candy.
For this reason the confectioners, as a
body, are disposed to resent the effort
being made by certain organizations to
prevent school children from spending
their pennies for candy. One of the mat
