the Washington star.

From the Washington Star.
1t has often been said. and usually
by Americans, that Americans are not
a patriotic people. Readers of history
and those who have fathomed the
American mind know TO the contrary,
but the statement that Americans are
lacking in patriotism Is often made
and often allowed to pass unchal-
ienged. The common basis for the
charge is that Americans do not in
cline strongly to military things in
time of peace and quiet. that they
concern themselves chiefly with bust
ness and play, that they do not con-
Germ themselves With the ceremonies
and tho etiquette of the national flag,
that they do not stand uncovered
when the national anthem is played
and that they cannot sing and do not
know the words of THE star Spangled
Banner" All that is true, but Amer
lean patriotism goes deeper than, and
does not very much interest itself
with, the usual external manifesto
tions of patriotism. But when it
comes to practical -patri-
otism that calls for fighting and
spending treasure for the honor of his
country and his people, the American
is patriotic TO the core. His patriotism
can always be relied on, even if he
keeps his seat or wears his hat and
smokes a cigar while the band plays
"The Star Spangled Banner The
patriotic impulse lies deep in the
American breast and when rightly
touched responds with surprising
promptness and vigor.

A Prehistoric Yellow Peril

In the time of Moses the Hittites
were apparently a small tribe of Pal
estine feebler than the Amorites. In
the days of the Judges they had
grown to considerable tribal impor
lance, and in Elisha's time they had
become a strong people, allied with
Egypt in their wars, and owning a
confederacy of cities, spreading far
beyond the borders of Palestine.
About 1900 B. c. they were a vast,
warlike power contending with
Egypt and holding wide possessions.
They were then a handsome, warlike
race, yellow skinned, long-haired,
beardless, and with the Monaghan
rather than the Semitic type of face.
For centuries they fought with As
syria, and their power was finally
brought to a close by the successful
campaigns of King Sargon on B. c..
Their kingdom ceased to exist short
ly afterward.-The Christian Herald.

BY an order in council the metric
carat of 200 Kilograms has been or
dained the legal standing of weight
for precious stones and pearls. In

ception by the jewelry trade.
The question was brought to the
notice of the international committee
of weights and measures in 1905, and
it was resolved that the carat should
be standardized, and that the stand
ard adopted should be Il simple dec
imal value of the metric unit of
weight (the gram). This resolution
was confirmed at the fourth general
conference of the contracting states
of the metric convention held in 1907,
and it was unanimously decided that
the standard should be 200 Kilograms.
In due course steps were taken by

BrickIayers at So a Day

The building trades in New York
started the. new year with a new
wage scale. About 10000 bricklayers
received an advance from $500 to Sc

vanced to the same figures; 5000
composition roofers received an adj
vance from $3.25 to $3.50 a day; about
1900 electrical workers got an advance
from $3.50 to $3.50 day. This scale
was put into effect although a large
number of building mechanics are re-

slack times. The principles of econ

one of the most distinguished OF
the women of the present day VINO
celebrate their birthdays on April ~
is Alice Morse Earle, who has done
more to make the history of colonial
days interesting to American readers
than any other writer. She was
graduated from the high school OF
her native town of Worcester, Massa-
chusetts, when she was nineteen. and
two years later married Henry Earle,
of Brooklyn, New York. 1t was not
till seven years after her marriage
that she began to write for publica-
ton. Then a book, called THE Sab
bath in Puritan New England,
proved that she had the power to
make interesting the quaint and
characteristic features of colonial life
and manners of old New England.
Next she wrote a book of china col
lecting, then book called Customs
and Fashions of Old New England"
Among her most popular books are
Home Life in Colonial Days" and
coach and Tavern Days"

BY MARY MARSHALL.


Mrs. Earle is an inspiring example
of what can be done with a hobby,
From her girlhood she was interested
in the subject of colonial life, and as
opportunities arose she studied the
subject till she is now probably the
best authority on the subject in the
country.
A famous but eccentric English
writer was also born on April a.
This was Mary Goodwin, whose
daughter married the poet Shelley.
Mary Goodwin was born in England
in 1888, and through her writing and
her widely exerted influence may be
counted one of the earliest advocates
of the cause of feminine emancipa-
ton in England. Her book entitled
"The Vindication of the Rights Of
Women" was her most famous pro-
duction. Unfortunately her ideas Of
emancipation carried her beyond the
usually accepted conventions, and
she suffered considerably from the
criticism and disfavor that her un.
conventional actions called forth.
