Two Hanging Nails.

A large picture hung by one wire is
hard to keep in place so that 1t will
always appear straight, as a slight

Improvement in the hanging can be
made by attaching two wires as
shown in the sketch. The hanging
can be better accomplished and the

this manner.-Popular Mechanics.

A Terrible Arrangement.

According to British census figures,
women in that country are supposed to
be more moral, but less sane and less
sober than the men. The figures are
astonishing. They are tabulsted thus:
Prisons-I3o women to 1000 men, :,
Certified reformatory industrial
schools-27S women to 1000 men.
Workhouse establishments-o5S wom-
en- to 1000 men.
Hospitals-Sexes nearly equal
Lunatic asylums-I,I4o women to
1000 men.
Certified inebriate reformatories and
retreats-Of 1857 inmates on census
night only 3o4 were men,
There are more than million more
females in England and Wales than
men, but what is surprising is that
since 1890 this preponderence has in
creased steadily, despite the fact that
more boys are born than girls. (Only

Rarely has the cause of civil service
been discussed with more lucidity than
in the speech of the President at
Faneuil Hall. 1t was not a political
talk. Mr.. Taft just dealt with actual
conditions in a manner that augurs well
for the future of the merit system,
provided his recommendation shall be
followed.
- The President pointed out that the
"seven-year-tenure" bill, which he We
toed, was subtle attempt to weaken
the present system of government He
said that he discerned the evils to
which it pointed, and that he promptly
used the power invested in him to head
them off.
Not only this. Mr.. Taft went on rec
ord that he would extend the present
system to take in more responsibilities
of the service. Endorsements of fitness
he declared, are one thing, but proofs
are far more convincing, and it is on
the latter that he would base appoint.

scored the State Department for its
Nicaraguan policy.
Landing American marines in Near

the pretext of protecting American lives

State Department to back up Wall Street
interests. that have gripped unhappy
Nicaragua by the throat. 1t is an in
reference of the United States in the
interior affairs of a weak Latin-Ameri-
can country.
The aggressive international policy of
the State Department has taken the al
legged form of protection Of American in
terests in Central America, but this
policy is resulting in arousing Latin
American countries to protect them
selves There is always a pretext fol
such policy Of coercion In the form Of
protection Of American interests.
Nicaragua, as well as every nation
has a right to settle its internal affairs
without exterior interference. II the
Latin-American diplomats in Washing

of the State Department II mas Deen De

danger Of such a policy toward the ma

represent here.
THE State Department has not ever
