Mt. De chantaI Recital.

The music recital given az Mt. De
Chantal Thursday afternoon was we'll
attended. The two graduates in music
who appeared on the program were
Miss Helen Slemaker. daughter OF
Senator and Mrs. George Slemaker OF
Slstersville and Miss Mary Black.
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. 5. l.. Black
OF Slstersville. Miss Slemaker rem
dered excellent violin solos and was
accompanied by Wheeling's young
artist Miss Anna Beuter. a Graduate
OF Mt. de Chantal last year. The
manner In which Miss Slemaker han
died her violin bow is worthy OF spec
lal mention as she brought out a per
rect tone quality and technique which
so few do in violin renditions. Her
pleasing personality and girlish grace
added much to the success OF the Sc
lections.
Miss Black rendered her piano Sc
lections very capably and she Is de-
voted TO the art. The difficult num-
Ders properly rendered show her 10
De above the average as a musician.
The young ladies will receive their
diplomas at the commencement exer-
cises June 9.

Origin Of Trial by Jury.

A trial by jury is an occurrence Of
which we read every day, but how
many of our readers know the origin
of such a trial?
The origin of trial by jury is very
obscure. All that is known for GER
tain is that from the earliest times
the Anglo-Saxons and other Germanic
tribes showed a decided preference
for the number twelve when forming
q committee to determine upon the
guilt or innocence of a person.
The legal existence Of jurors was
first recorded under the Plantagenets.
During the reign of Queen Elizabeth
a jury which could not agree wal sent
to prison. and also at the same period
a banquet was generally given to the
jury by the successful litigant. This
latter fact naturally made the jury
men anxious to prove the innocence
Of their victim, especially when he
happened to be wealthy.

may meet during his country walks.
The other day he came across a lad
who was looking after some pigs by
the roadside, and the bishop paused
to ask him what he was doing, that
being his usual opening to
ton.
"Moindin' swine," the lad replied
stolidly.
The bishop nodded his head
thoughtfully.
"Ah. is that so?" he commented.
"And how much do you earn a week."
Two shtllin's," was the reply.
Only two shillings," remarked the
bishop; then he continued pleasantly:
Il, too, am a shepherd, but I get
nor than two shillings."
The lad looked at him seriously for
a minute, then he said slowly:
"Mebbe you gets lore swoine nor

CHINESE IVORY CARvERs
There Are Only Six Expert Workers
Distributed Among Forty
Shops in Canton.

There are in Canton about forty
shops which make and sell ivory arti-
cles, the Daily Consular Report states.
Each store is small, consisting usually
of a showroom, where the cutting is
done. Members Of the store also
usually work in the showroom. The
industry may be divided into two
stages, cutting and carving. Tusks
imported from Siam constitute the
raw material. These are first cut with
a saw to the shape capable of being
worked by carving. The cutting APP
paratus consists of q wooden block
or wise, a saw and a tub of water.
The ivory is secured firmly by the
wise, moistened with water and cut
to the required shape.
Perfectly fat pieces of ivory as thin
as paper were shown in evidence of
the skill Of the cutter. The cutting
finished, the blocks are then carved
into shape with knives of many diff
ferent shapes. These have a short
blade and a long handle made of bam-
boo, like a penholder. Other instru-
ments noted to be in use by carvers
were wire saws and a gimlet worked
by a leather twirling apparatus.
The number of expert workers in
Canton is far less than the number
of stores, being only about six in
number. The term Of apprenticeship
served by the experts is four years.
An apprentice receives no wages, but
gets 81 Canton currency as "shoe
money" at the end Of the first year,
SIS at the end of the second year, Sc
at the end of the third year and 81
at the end of the fourth year, which
is all the compensation he receives,
A good worker gets 81 to So Canton
currency per month. Canton curren-
cy silver money is about half the
equivalent Of gold. Apprentices and
good workers are provided with two
meals a day, supplied by their EN-.
ployers. An expert carver seldom
works In the shop which employs him.
He generally works in his own house
and can earn about $40 Canton cur
rency a month.

CAPTAIN Won MULLER.

There will be very general rejoic-
ing at the news that Captain Won
Muller of the German cruiser Emden
has been rescued unhurt after the
loss OF his ship. Likewise, there is
satisfaction at the manifestation of
British sportsmanship which comes
with the announcement that the sur
viving officers of the cruiser will be
treated with all honors, and permit
ted to keep their swords. If ever a
ships company earned and deserved
the last mark of honorable consider
alton, the men of the Emden are
that company.
At the same time, there will be
comfort in the knowledge that the
Emden has come to the end that her
crew and her government knew was
inevitable for her. She served her
government well, and it may fairly
be said that she served the cause of
civilized warfare yet better, for she
gave magnificent demonstration of
the barbarity of those customs which
permit, under the guise of legitimate
belligerency, the reckless destruc-
tion of property and commerce. War
may be unavoidable; but when war
shows itself to be the mere, reck-
less, wanton destruction of all the
products Of civilized institutions and
organized social effort, it makes it
self the more hateful. By showing
how vast ruin may be caused by
one unimportant warship, turned
loose to run amuck upon the high
seas, the Emden has underscored the
whole worlds demand that war shall
be made a little decenter.

CONTRABAND COPPER

The question of copper shipments
to Italy is so simple and precedents
are so clear that no international
complications worth thinking about
can grow out of it.
No contraband can be any freer
from interference by belligerent,
though carried by a neutral ship,
than if it were carried by the ship
Of belligerent.
Copper destined for a belligerent
is contraband. If it is shipped to
Italy, but destined for Germany, the
allies have a perfect right, never
questioned in our own civil war, to
seize the contraband if they can get
hold of it. If the copper is shipped
10 China, but destined for Russia,
Germany has a perfect right to
seize the contraband if she can get
mold of it.
Americans, as neutrals, are as
free to ship contraband as they are
10 ship anything else. They are as
free to sell cannon to a belligerent
as they are to sell hospital stretch
er. But when contraband is sold and
lhipped the shipper runs the risk of
losing it, unless he covers himself
by taking his pay in advance and let
ing the contraband go out of his
hands at the risk of the buyer.
The seller of cotton that is con-
.raband can always protect himself
and he will--by taking his pay
when the article is delivered out of
his own hands. The seller of copper
hat is not contraband-that is to

being made to feel like subject OF

since this war began, the fact has
not, so far as recollection may be
trusted, been officially admitted by
either side. The battleship, with its
pretense of invulnerability and its
assumption that it's armament is ir-
resistible, is in fact treated as deli
cately and daintily as if it were an
eggshell. 1t must be reserved always
for the last supreme test of conflict
in the open sea; the glorious burst
of speed and power in which, if
naval warriors might have their way,
wars would be determined. But the
warriors are not to be given their
way. The sneaks, the scouts, the
submarines, are the efficient fight
ers. They have the advantage of
secrecy, and of using the torpedo,
The most powerful Of all naval
weapons. They cost comparatively
'ittle-little, that is, in contrast to
he bill for a battleship. Their de-
'elopment has only begun. The Ger
mans have devoted years of pains
iaking effort to the perfection of
both their submarine craft and the
;trategy of their employment. The
British have built yet larger num-
Der of the vessels, but this arm of
he service has never been popular
n England. The conservatism and
he -sufficiency of the old-line
British naval idealists have stood in
he way of making the most of some
strictly modern instrumentalitics
hat are proving of the utmost use,
fulness.
When a submarine can creep into
he harbor of Deal, deliver it's dead
ly blow and get away, it is time for
not only Britain but the rest of the
naval world to realize the menace to-
old methods of naval war. Our.
American navy shows disposition to
realize all this, for It is about giving
contracts for building the largest
submarines, so far as known, that
any government has undertaken.
Evidently the submarine will have to
oe suppressed or else the battleship
will be.

TRADE AND EDUCATION.

More than a century and a half
ago DIR. johnson, pioneer in much
besides lexicography, a sound think
er on almost every subject except
ghosts and politics, observed in his
fellow countrymen curiosity like
that at work in the United States
today. Summing up the merchants
studies, Johnson wrote:
All this he must learn merely as
a private dealer, attentive only to
his own advantage; but as every
man ought to consider himself as
part of the community to which
he belongs, and while he prosecutes
his own interest to promote likewise
that Of his country, it is necessary
for the trader to look abroad upon
mankind. and study many questions
which are perhaps more properly
political than mercantile.
The wealth of information current
about South America and other for
eign markets and about our own un-
developed resources helps others as
well as the merchants who have
gathered it; it is the common store
to which many minds contribute un-
til it becomes a national heritage
Political, mercantile, social-how-
ever the knowledge be classified, il
is one of the chief gains, one of the
distinguishing features, of this era
of expansion.
AS national heritage it should
soon find its way into the schools
Commercial geography, history, lam
guages should glow with a new
meaning for every boy and girl

The means to fire lessons with
imagination and to clinch them
through their bearing upon the pu.
pills personal experience are now
abundantly at hand. The new era
brings opportunity to the pedagogue
as well as to the merchant.

say, copper that is destined for con-
sumption by neutral and that will
not go out of the neutral country to
belligerent-can always protect
himself by a guarantee that the
destination is what it purports to be-.
The neutral vessel carrying con-
traband is subject to the hazard of
being deceived. In good faith the
neutral vessel may load contraband
copper for Italy, believing that Italy
is the true destination, when in fact
it is intended to transship the cop
per into a belligerent country.
But the neutral vessel has no
complaint if the copper is actually
contraband and a belligerent stops
her and takes out the copper.
The owner of a neutral vessel
knows that he has no right to carry
contraband and that ignorance Of
his cargo or its destination does not
excuse him. Wherever there is the
slightest doubt in his mind, he ought
to protect himself by making tho
consignor or the consignee fully in
sure him against the danger of
seizure or other interference.
The copper industry of the United
States has been very severely in
jured by the war. 1t would be very
fine for our copper industry in par
ticular and for the country in gen
eral if we could have delivered to
belligerents or to anybody else the
vast quantities of copper that have
been left on the hands of American
producers.
But nobody can expect contraband
copper to be treated any differently
from contraband anything else.

How to suppress plaques OF this
kind is always a tremendous prob
lem. Nowadays the common oplnlor
among students of these questions Is
that some governmental authority
should assume full responsibility. If
herd must be destroyed to end the
danger, the owner should be paid its
full value. 4 ~
The reason for this radical treat
ment is simple. 1t places premium
on perfect frankness. The owner, as
soon as he suspects the disease, no.
titles the authorities. He knows he
will not lose a dollar if they find it.
On the other hand, if he knows that
destruction of his herd will impose a
loss that he alone must stand, he
will be liable to attempt disposing of
the stock; they will be shipped to
markets, will carry the germ to
healthy herds, and do immeasurable
damage.
