MADE MOCKERY OF MONARCH
In the Reign of George III Eneiish
caricaturists Proved the Powor
of the Pencil.

Nearly every great diamond has q
history These histories are always TO
mantle, embOdying numerous adven-
lures, some of which are tragic. In the
history of the Hastings tragedy of Eng
land is charge of bribery against q
king, George III, which gave the gentle
art of caricature an opportunity such
as had never come to it before and
showed the power that caricature
could WELD upon a people. At levee
of the king held on June IA, 1885, a
very valuable diamond, of unusual size
and brilliancy, was presented to
George III, ostensibly as a gift from
the nizam, or native ruler of the Dec
can, India. AT the period when this
magnificent peace offering was given
to the king the impeachment of War
rem Hastings was advancing in parlia-
ment and it was current rumor that
this and several lesser diamonds were
the purchase price of Hastings acquit-
tai. Caricatures appeared in the win
dows of the printshops. One repre-
Sented Hastings wheeling the king to
market in barrow and saying: "What
man buys he may sell again." In an
other, the king was exhibited kneeling,
with his mouth open and Hastings
throwing diamonds into it. An Italian
juggler then in London pretending to
eat paving stones placarded the walls
with bills describing himself as "The
Greatest Stone Eater" Improving up
on this the caricaturists represented
the king in the. character Of the Great
est Stone Eater.

ETROG SACRED JEWISH FRUIT
Great Care Has to Be Used in Keeping
This Citron From Being
BIenished.

The etrog or sacred Jewish citron is
one of the costliest and most interest
ing, and yet one of the least known
fruits to be found in the markets of
the world. It has been used by the
Jews in connection with the feast of
tabernacles since the time of the Baby
1onian captivity and is still treasured
by the orthodox Hebrews in many
countries, says the Country Gentle
man.
In appearance the fruit greatly re-
Sembles the lemon, and it possesses a
strong and agreeable perfume. The
tree itself is variety of citron and
belongs to the citrus family, of which
the orange and grapefruit are men,
bers.
Nearly all of the etrogs, or cedrats
as they are sometimes called, are
grown in Palestine and on islands near
the coast of Greece. In these localities
the groves are planted in sheltered val
leys where the trees will be safe from
frost and drying winds.
Great care is used to protect the
fruit from the time of blooming until
it is sold. The young fruit is tenderly
wrapped in soft lint, lest it be marred
by scratch or blemish, and when ma
ture it is carefully packed in a special
1y constructed box with individual
lined compartments. For religious pur-
poses it is essential that the fruit be
free from blemishes. Even the deli
cate stamens must be preserved intact

THE WRATH TO COME.

The great European conflict which
has been spreading death. desolation
and appalling distress in the countries
blighted by the opposing armies, en-
ters upon the third year Of the most
stupendous struggle at arms in the
history Of the world. Its cost in blood
and treasure, so far has been fright
full. The tears that its agonles have
inflicted will flow increasingly icr
years to come. while the manned and
disfgured will haunt the earth loES
after the cannons roar is stilled and
the heroes have been forgotten. While
its true the pendulum of success is
now swinging toward the allies there
is no immediate prospect of peace.
There can be none, 1t seems. until one
side or the other is exhausted. And
when that exhaustion comes what Will
it have profted the victor and how will
the vanquished fare?
The accounting is something terrible
to contemplate. Who will pay the enor'
nous debt contracted? For years and
years to come that will be burden on
the backs OF the people: it will drain
their substance and breed discomfort.
Then those in the high places respon'
sible for the carnage, the woe and the
inconsolable griefs may we'll tremble.
When the awful calm Of retrospection
sits with these unfortunate peoples
they will question what it all was Tor,
and there will be no one who can give
a satisfactory answer. 1t must needs
be that offenses come, but woe unto
him by whom the offense cometh. Aft

The menace OF German industrial
competition in the future is
against the United States as IN
the past, it has largely been
against Great Britain: 1t is the
conflict that must be between TIE
Imperial idea and the free instl.
tutions for which this government
has stood.
Whatever the outcome OF the
current war, there are some
things that seem reasonably as
sured. Germany will not succeed
in monopolizing the raw materials
of Europe. nor will she succeed in
winning for herself a colonial
market OF any considerable value
out OF the colonies Of her enemies.
AT the least. part OF Germany'S
former market in the allied couu'
tries will be lost. German cHpan-

THE "NON-PARTISAN PLAY,

We wonder if President Wilson
really believes he made hit when ne
expressed himself TO the chairman OF
the Democratic National Committee as
being "embarrassed by the thought
that he ought not 10 turn 10 polltlcs
until the business Of this session OF
Congress- is over" If he does imagine
he made an impression as one oevo'eI
Wholly 10 the business OF the country
10 the exclusion Of party promoton' ne
is singularly forgetful Of his past per-
formances. Can it be possible that
he has forgotten his speech at III
dianapolis year ago last January, in
which he made the ridiculous charge
that the Republicans have not had a
new idea in thirty years. IN New
York. in North Carolina and other
places he has made intensely partisan
speeches while the work OF Congress
was in progress.
But, In addition 10 talking partisan
politics, he has persistently practiced
partisan politics. He has overthrown
the merit system in the public service
in order to fill the places with p,T-
tisans. He has violated the spirit OF
laws for the creation of bipartisan
commissions and has given almost
unanimous control of such commits
sions TO the Democratic party. He has
permitted members of his cabinet 10
90 about making partisan speeches.
He has permitted government en-
ployes 10 be used at public expense
for the dissemination of partisan argu-
mcnts. He has permitted revenue COL
lected from all the people 10 be used
for the gneral distribution OF articles
criticising part Of the people.
Just now, when he sees an oppor'
tunity to get a few votes by posing as
a non-partisan.t The is embarrassed by
the thought OF talking politics, but II
embarrassed him not one whit to do
politics for more than three years.
Therefore, his present pretensions fool
nobody with ordinary discernment.
