DOUBLE ASSASSINATION

The coldblooded, deliberate murder of Archduke Francis Ferdinand. heir to the throne of Austria Hungary, and his wife. not only adds to the list Of tragic deaths in the imperial fam fly during the reign of Emperor Fran cis Joseph, but it discloses the great uncertainty which surrounds the lives of the rulers of monarchies. The con- dition of the emperor's health has in dicated the early ascension of the throne by Francis Ferdinand and if was with trembling that the people of that country awaited the day, because of the possibilities attending a change of rulers.
 Even though the conspirators are but young men of IS and 21, they represent a school of thought which Is highly dangerous in any country and 1t Is surprising with the known feeling which exists in Bosnia that better precautions were not taken for the protection of the lives of the vic tfms. There should have been no such opportunity for an assassin, whatever may have prompted him, to have made such an attack without being checked.
 If such represents the feeling of Bosnia towards the government there are reasons to wonder what may hap pen to the dual monarchy upon the death of the present ruler. It is an outbreak well timed to denote serious trouble That there were two attacks indicates Bosnian opposition and de- termination to remove the slated suc- cessor to the present emperor. Aus tria has long depended upon it's em- peror and upon him yet there is ap- parently much resting if the stability of the monarchy is to be maintained.

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

No better idea of the enormous raid which is made upon the unsuspecting public by the maintenance of false weights and measures is to be gained than by the action of the Philadelphia authorities, who, in making roundup in one district. found and confscated fake scales and measures sufficient to fill twelve wagons. All sorts of schemes imaginable had been used for the pur- pose. of robbing the purchaser and in view of the fact that the adoption of regulations concerning weights and measures is nothing new or the raid the first one made, it discloses the constant attention which must be di- rected towards this practice if the semblance of honesty is to be main tained. It likewise reveals the neces- sity for frequent inspection.
 It isn't to be supposed that Phila- delphia is the only city where such conditions prevail or where the need of enforcing correct weights and meas ures exists Such will be found gen eral condition throughout the coun- try where there is a laxity concern ing such regulations and their enforce ment Whether such conditions result from carelessness or intent, and there are many instances where the latter is clearly defined it is but just to the buying public that they should get square deal in this relation. False scales point out an interruptions bus mess man who takes advantage Of the confidence of the buyer, and there is nothing which is more deserving of punishment and correction. The good results of the inspection of weights and measures are to be noted in every city.

To-day the se.eo0 deaf-mutes in the United States, have recourse to more than 100 institutions at which education of deaf-mutes is made a speciality. The pioneer college at Washington. however still remains the only college in the world for deaf-mutes. Its name is now Gal changed to perpetuate the memory of Thomas H. Gallaudet. the pioneer. It is now located on an 100 acre campus known as Kendall Green. On this commencement thirteen professors make up the . faculty that is instructing the III students of both sexes. The grad uates from this college. as well as those of the public and private deaf-mute schools of the country are earning their hvelihoods in fessions, industries and lines of business. There are scores of deaf mute ministers and instructors in all states of the Union. One is practising as a lawyer before the United States Supreme Court. A deaf-mute conducted the defense in a famous murder case in a New York court. Several mutes are acting as editors and reporters on magazine and newspaper staffs; some are earning excellent salaries and commissions as travelling sales men and insurance agents: one has achieved fame as a sculptor, while another is capabiy filling the posi- ton as bank cashier, They have entered the ranks of professional athletics-one became famous as a star baseball pitcher in . major league.

SATISFYING JAPAN.

Though it has been the hope of the administration that the Japanese trou- ble would quiet down through lack Of attention, the attitude of Japan and its insistence upon an answer gives evidence that 1t is not to be disposed of in any such manner. It is probably true that the feeling in California has served to keep the matter alive, but whatever it may be, Japan has dis closed the disposition to get better understanding of the situation. That nation is forcing the settlement of the question as to whether the yellow race is going to be considered as in the past an inferior race or whether it is going to be accepted on a basis of equality with the others.
 Japan is much wrought up over the discrimination against the people of that country along the Pacific coast and is unwilling to overlook the em- barra ssing position in which this coun- try is placed by the conflict between the treaty and question of state rights. The change of administration in Japan has taken the matter up with renewed vigor and holds that the California law violates the existing treaty, a po- sition from which the arguments of this government has failed to dislodge them.
 What the result may be largely de- bends upon the course taken by the department of state. The adoption of a new treaty has been suggested. but at this Japan rebels, thus bringing the matter to a focus on the main point in conflict. It permits a grand oppor- tunity for the exercise of diplomacy but whether it can be thus adjusted or must go to arbitration is a matter of the future.

POST CARD CASE.

A post card case is a little gift that would prove useful to the traveller.
 Make it in the form of a card case with two pockets that can be folded inside. On one of the pockets of the case sew a smaller pocket, into which a little stamp book can be slipped.
 Russian crash Is nice for this kind of a case and the outside embroidered in a cross stitch decoration. On one of the sides that fold over one of the pockets have the words post cards in cross stitch lettering and on the side some little floral design also in cross stitching. One side can then be used for post cards to be sent or the case may be used to keep cards as souv- enirs of the places visited.

Such a test comes when We are eagerly and earnestly working for a special end and we come in con- tact with one who is working with contrary aim. In politics, for in stance. two partisans may equally de- sire the welfare of their country yet they may express that desire in abso- lGtely different terms and work for its fulillment by strongly opposed methods. The one is justified in think ing his method best-otherwise he has no right to pursue that method: but he is not justified in thinking his op- ponnnt less sincere.

THE CHAPLIN FAILURE.

It will be some time yet before the way will be cleared for the adjust ment of the Clafiin failure, or before 1t Is known just what course will be pursued. It Is to be hoped, as has been intimated, 1t will be possible to settle dollar for dollar, but that re- mains for the future to disclose.
 The big corporation suffered from changed conditions, high financing and the present state of business. Feeling the handicap of it's location and its wholesale trade slipping the idea of operating the chain of retail stores and backing the proposition resulted in the endorsing of a great many loans. Business did not respond in keeping with the paper that was is- sued, and when 1t changed for the worse instead of the better. and the pressure was brought to get in some of the loans. the real conditions were revealed. The change in ths business district of New York may. as Mir. C1aflin claims, have had much effect upon his business. but 1t Is evident that business never developed in keep

WHITMAN. THE MAN.

When Roosevelt makes the declara- ton that he is opposed to the candi- dacy of Charles s. Whitman for the governorshfp of New York because he Ifs 8 tool of Barnes" there are at least two motives for his action In the first place he takes a fling at Whitman because he would not accept the can didacy under the principles of the pro- gressfve party, but as a republican. In other words Whitman refused to become 8 tool of Roosevelt, and sec ondly the fusion of the progressive party, which apparently rests with Roosevelt would endanger for the flu ture what distinctiveness it may lay claim to at present.
 When the Colonel throws Barnesis m up to Whitman he certainly goes against the latters record. His dis trict attorneyship has shown an in dependence against all kinds of boss isfns which totally eclipses what iii effect such an unjust assertion might have. By his refusal to endorse the candidacy of Whitman Roosevelt, however, indirectly contributes the strength of his party to the support of the democratic party and Boss Mur- phy, and the continuation of such a mixture of state management as has been furnished in the last two years
 It Is the purpose of the republicans of the state to place such a man in the governors chair as has disclosed his ability to handle those duties as admirably as he has conducted the district attorneyship, and after the exhibition which Roosevelt has made of demanding the direction of the en- tire affair, which Is only what his defy amounts to, there remains nothing for the republicans to do but to nominate Whitman and the strength of the party gives good evidence of his suc- cess.

THEN and-NOW

Fifty years ago yesterday the first college in the world to offer collegiate education with honorary degrees to deaf-mutes was publicly inaugurated at Washington, D. C. It was on this same day that the degree of Master of Arts was con ferred upon the deaf and dumb American artist, John Carlin. This was the first degree conferred by the college and Is said to be the first granted to a deaf-mute in the worlds history. It bore the sigma ture of Abraham Lincoln, the ex- officio Patron of the college &C., cording to the Act of Congress which established the institution. The college was given the name of the National Deaf-Mute College" It possessed two little brick build ings neither of which had cost more than 5000. One was built by an appropriation from Congress, and the other at the expense of Amos Kendall who seven years before had founded the Columbia Institu- ton for the Deaf and Dumb, out of which the college grew. Among the speakers of the day was the 27-year-old college president. Dr. Edward Miner Gallaudet. He was tho son of Thomas H. Gallaudet who was the founder of the edu- cation of deaf -mutes in America" The college opened with seven stu dents. "one fully matricuiated and six preparatory" The faculty con- sisted of one profeser beside the college presidean

PUDDING POINTS.

Grease the pudding basin well, as grease prevents the mixture rom sticking to the basin. If it sticks the pudding will not turn out properly. When making a boiled pudding always be sure that the basin is. filled quite full. If there is any space left water will get in. and consequently the pud- ding will be heavy. Make sure that the pudding Is kept boiling all the time. If it is allowed to go off the boil it will be heavy.
 Whenever possible it is wise to steam a suet pudding instead of boil ing it. as it will be lighter. Allow one hour more for this way of cook ing than the time allowed for boiling

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Opinion.

Our attitude toward life's problems and realities is always controlled by our individuality; wherever two men meet 1t is almost certain that on some question or other one of the two will seem to the other a heretic or a Phil istine. But the one must not begin to call the other names; if he does. that is the first symptom of a prosecuting spirit Neither need the one actually yield his opinion to the other. unless he become persuaded that he himself has been wrong. The two can remain together in absolute fellowship with out thinking alike

One of the newest of the fine bou- quet perfumes is put up in flat bot ties which have cameo cut corners, and the stopper also cameo cut in flower design.
 For fine extracts there are some very attractive perfume bottles that have lacquer gold caps over the ground glass shoppers to prevent the escape of the aroma
 A very odd little perfume burner resembles something between a chaf- ing dish and a Greek incense burner. It has a tiny lamp under the main part, a pearl side handle and lacquered gold cover.

KNEADiNG CLOTH.

A kneading cloth is more convenient than a board. One can easily make one of three -fourths of a yard of heavy white duck or drilling. Hem the edges and then sift on right side about a quart of four, rubbing in well. Then it is ready for use for pastry, biscuit, cookies or doughnuts, after spreading it on table or shelf. The dough will not stick, and if care is taken not to spill liquids upon it, it need not be washed frequently. After using it should be folded, flour inside, and placed in @ box.

According to pr. Frederick B. Percy of the Boston university school of medicine. the least cultured and least developed adults need the most sleep and the higher the intellectual de- velopment the more prone one is to dreams. The healthy child of years passes half it's time in slumber. The adult requires from seven to eight hours of sleep daily; aged persons not more than five or six hours. Women need as a rule. more sleep than men. There are persons to whom nine or even ten or twelve hours of sleep are essential, while others seldom sleep more than six out of the twenty-four. Too much sleep is possible. Sleep un- disturbed is what we all desire.
