Peppermint in First Place.

Peppermint candy holds It's own
against all comers in the saccharinc
world. There is more than sixty times
as much peppermint used as winter
green and about nine times as much
peppermint as black birch.
Peppermint beats spearmint four to
one, but these various oils are not all
used for flavoring candy, says the Phil
adelphia Ledger. The output Of pep
permint grows larger every day and
spearmint doubled in six years, but
wintergreen is falling rapidly at the
rate Of Is per cent year, and birch
is going down more than half that
fast. AS John L. Sullivan remarked :
Peppermint now and then
Is relished by the dricst men,"

New Things From Oh

What becomes OF old sardire boxes,
tomato cans, meat tins, fruit tins and
tins of all kinds? In France, where
nothing is allowed to go to waste,
they gather them up and use then-to
cut into tin soldiers. In France, too,
the old boots and shoes are collected
and every part is used over again. The
work is mostly done by convicts IN
prisons. They take the boots ana
shoes to pieces and soak them; then
the uppers are cut over into children's
shoes, or, if they are too far gone ror
that, peculiar kind Of pressed leata-

Dream Reveals Hiding Place.

William He'll Of Brickerville, Pa, as
serts that q dream revealed to him
the hiding place of a can Of gold, the
property Of John Belleman, his prede-
cessor on the farm. Belleman did not
believe in banks, and secreted his
money. He died suddenly and did not
reveal even to his wife where he had
it secreted. Heil's story is that he
had a dream that he was digging for
Belleman's money in the haymow Of
the barn. He was about to give up
the task when the spirit Of Belleman
appeared and commanded him to dig
on. The next morning he went to the
haymow, dug under the hay and found
a tin box. he took it to the home
Of Mrs. Selleman,. who counted the
contents, $1,000 in gold, and He'll was
handsomely rewarded.

Class In History.

Perhaps one result of activity in
the North sea will be to teach every
body how to spell Skager Rack, or
Skagerrak, as the Danes have it, and
also refresh popular knowledge OF
this part Of the map, which the. kiel
canal has little blurred. In the old
days the complicated entrance TO the
Baltic was a favorite specially Of
teachers Of geography, and every class
had to wreStle with the names and
twistings of, the Cattegat and the
Skager Rack, not to speak Of the
Sound and the Great and Little Belt
which last name was also impressed
upon the class in United States his
tory By the British warship which bore
1t. But though the natural entrance to
the Baltic is still important, at the
present moment, indeed, Of immense
importance, In our time interest has
been diverted to the Straighter and
simpler way which the canal has
opened; perhops many present-day
pupils would have difficulty In sketch
ing the tortuouS bit of coast for the
control Of which great fleets are con-
tending.

DREADED LARGE WINE BILL
Pretty Dancer Attempts TO Evads
Consequences as Result of "Swal-
lowing Bean" at Fete.

That evening the management OF
the little theater in Montmartre had
invited players, authors and some priv
1leged friends Of the house to come
and share a cake and draw the bean,
as the French say, for it was the day
Of the Fete des Rois and that Is the
way to celebrate it. It was agreed on
this occasion, however, that whoeve,
drew the bean, and by that favor be-
came king or queen, must pay for the
wine for all the company.
The cake was distributed. Sudden
ly pretty young dancer got between
her teeth an object al to the identity
Of which she could entertain no doubt
at all; at the same moment she had
q vision of the lot OF money her orief
hours Of royalty were going to cost
her-and heroically she swallowed the
bean. Unfortunately this little oSpasy
did not quite escape notice. It was
observed, or rather divined11 by the
young woman's right-hand neighbor,
youthful scribbling person, who had
enjoyed some small success as a
sketch writer, to use the language
rather Of Broadway than Of Mont
ma-tre. He did not tell on the young
woman exactly. He waited till the
cake was all eaten and no bean had
been forthcoming, and all the com
pany were looking at each other with
unconcealed surprise not unmingled
with suspicion.
Good heavens" he cried then, I
DO hope nobody has swallowed the
thing. A dry, uncooked bean is one
of the most violent and deadly pois'
ons!"
Mercy" burst out the dancer, I'm
done for!"
And she turned az pale as a ghost
and almost toppled from her chair
while the rest Of the company shook
with laughter. This unfeeling con-
duct was near putting finishing
touch to the simple-minded young
thing, but the author Of the trick
FASTENED to comfort and reassure her

sumed the obligation Of the wine Dill

THE INCoNsIDERATE BEHAVIOR
OF A CANDIDATE.

Why does Mr.. Hughes insist upon
to say ubiquitous" doctrine, the pro-
tective tariff? For nearly the whole
period of its industrial existence, the
United States struggled along under
protection. The Democratic party In
1913 came to the relief of an afflicted
and burdened people.
The Republican Administration (not
on account of the tariff, It is true)
was over'hrown, Before taking over
the reins of government, and for many
years prior TO that time countless
Democratic statesmen had vainly tried
to persuade the American people that
the protective tariff was an iniquity.
a veritable contrlvance of devils. 1t
fostered the trusts, and 1t was an eie-
vator OF prices even to the thirty-sev-
enth story and the tower. They prom
Used relief The poor should be no
longer oppressed; the cost of living
should be reduced-must be, as the
sure result of a tariff for revenue
protective only In spots, such as the
ouisiana sugar mills and the Carolina
cotton factories.
Doesn't Mr.. Hughes know what the
Administration did which he is now
attacking? He ought TO know. The
Democrats, under the leadership Of
Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Underwood. re
pealed that iniquity and abominadon,
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law-that fos-
ter mother of trusts and high prices
and enacted in Its place the present
law. Mr.. Hughes knows, of course.
as every head of a family In America
knows, that the trusts have not yet
been dissolved and that the cost OF
living is higher than ever,-that the
price of everything has reached an I'M
heard-of height-but what of It?
What of It, indeed? While IL is
true that Il protective tariff never fafl-
cd, under any circumstances, to pro-
tect American industry and American
labor, 1t is to be considered that the
war in Europe has upset the plans Of
the present low-tariff administration
considerably. Also II forms an excel
lent foundation for an alibi. 1t is q
very unusual condition.
Now, the obvious thing for Mr..
Hughes to do IS to give the Demo
Gratis chance to get their tariff on
straight. Never mind the patient; let
the doctor experiment, That time
won't come, of course, until the war
is over--according to the Democratic
version. In other words the tariff
for-revenue doctrine doesn't fit the
conditions; the conditions must be
made to fit the tariff SO why this
disturbance, Mr., Hughes?
Besides, when you discuss a little
thing like the tariff, do you not know
that Son-in-Law McAdoo and the other
statesmen of the Democratic family
are likely to repeat their accusation
that you are ''pettifogging" CHARLES

BOTH AWFUL AND SHAMEFUL.

II was unoflically estimated at the

that the Mexican expedition and the
assembling of the National Guards at
the border has cost the government
$4,000, 600 a month. This average. it
was stated. began Immediately after
the Columbus raid last March. 1t was
stated also that il will cost the govern
ment more than $500, 900 to return to

A WANING CRAZE.

The Christian Science Monitor of
Boston joins the ranks of those who
are freely expressing their opinion of
the degenerate dances that lately have
been popular in the United States and
that now seem likely to be relegated
for time at least in sheer disgust to
the limbo things that were, which is
whore they belong:
A decree issues from the National
Association Of Dancing Masters, in
session at Chicago. that the old-fash-
toned waltz must supersede the trots,
hops, skips, jumps wabbles, paddles,
waddles. wrggles. and so on, that for
the last few years have been, so to
speak, en- reggie. Thus. it viii be seen.
even fashions in dancing move in cy-
cles, And il people must dance, per-
haps it is just as well that they shall
move in cycles also, rather than after
the manner Of foxes, squirrels, kan
garoos, walruses and giraifes.
There is no reason why popular
dancing should not be decent. There
is no excuse for the tolerance by par

"SOUTH IN THE SADDLE"

1.-THE irony of fate was never more
apparent than in the workings of the
Democratic party. Had any one been
found so bold as to have ventured a
prophecy that the time would come
when the Union soldier would see the
entire government, which he saved, un-
der full control of the states which at
tempted to destroy it, he would have
been regarded as a candidate for the
asylum" declared Representative S. d.
Fess of Ohio.
That time is reached. The South
rides at the head of the procession. The
President and his family are southern
in birth and sympathies. His cabinet
is also southern, the five controlling
heads are from states that have less
than one-fifth of the population and
bear less than one half of the taxation.
The Senate in leadership and working
committees is southern. The House
from speaker to doorkeeper is southern.
Seventeen out of the eighteen great
committees are headed by southern
men, as follows:
Ways and Means, Kitchin. N. Carolina
Appropriations, Fitzgerald, N. Y.
Banking and Currency, Glass, Virginia
Judiciary, Webb, N. Carolina.
Interstate and Foreign Commerce,
Adamson, Georgia.
Rivers and Harbors, Sparkman, Florida
Agriculture, Lever, S. Carolina.
Foreign Affairs, Flood, Virginia.
Military Affairs, Hay, Virginia.
Naval Affairs, Padgett. Tennessee.
Post Offices, Moon, Tennessee.
Indians, Stephens, Texas.
lnsular Affairs, Jones. Virginia.
Railways and Canals. Dies, Texas.
Public Buildings, Clark. Florida
Roads, Shaceford, Missouri.
Rules, Henry, Texas.
An analysis of the situation of the
South in the saddle" is interesting.
The eight southern states here enumer-
ated which have charge of these i'm
portant matters contain in population,
both white and colored, about one-fifth |
of the country's people. In wealth
they have barely one-seventh of the
amount credited TO the country. And
so it runs all along the line,
Listenl This is called waving the
bloody shirt" But is it reasonable that
such brazen conduct should go on with
out criticism or comment? No sir, not
after what has taken place in this
country to preserve the Union and what
is now necessary 70 maintain it. Fraud
is fraud, and if persisted in. the world
should know of it.
