THE PEOPLES AT CONFERENCE

ence at Washington-but they
are at ENTHUSIASTICALLY and
indirectly. The national dele
gates are direct representatives OF
their respective governments;
they receive their instructions
from the foreign ministers or the
prime ministers. These i'll turn
are the representatives OF what
ever party may happen to be III
power at the moment; and that
party, likewise, is subject to the
mandates Of the national leglsla-
lures. The legislatures are re-
sponsive, at last, to the people $
will, and are continued in office
or defeated, as they conform to
or disobey that will.
II is noticeable that for the tirSt
time in history, at an international
conference, kings are neither COIL
suited nor represented. They are
the empty shells of power-not its
meat and substance. They are,
indeed, mere kings of the shreds
and patches of royalty. Within
the present century this last
vestige Of the divine right Of mon
arehs will probably melt away
completely and disappear, as the
sun of democracy rises higher and
higher in the political heavens.
But the peoples are represented,
nevertheless, in another and more
direct way at the Conference. The
delegates are being Hooded with
thousands Of letters daily from
all parts of the world, with
threats, prayer, objurgation and
entreaty. The postoffice authori-
ties at the national capital say
that within the memory of the
oldest employee there has never
been such ceaseless and over
powering inundation of the mails.
The interest taken by women III
the subject-natter of peace, and
more especially now that they
are enfrancl,ised, is one of the
stupendous good signs of the
times. Comes an old woman from
far-off Japan, bringing with her
a petition signed by a hundred
thousand Of her fellow-country
women = urging disarmament.
Here, too, in. our own country IS
borne the supplication OF the ".
c. I. u. signed by a hundred
thousand American women. The
churches have at last found a
common voice and vocation, and
have sent an album containing
the signatures OF Twenty-Five
thousand Of the preachers OF the
peaee-gospel of Christ. All the
religious denominations Of the
United States, = Protestants,
Catholics, Jews, Christian Scien-
fists, Theosophists-are marching
under the banner Of one Deity
with one great prayer ascending
to Heaven from lips that move in
unison. Organizations Of every
class and circumstance are SWELL
ing the chorus. The Presbyterian
Church in Scotland sends a wire
less message that it voices the
sentiments Of a million members.
The Labor Unions, the Rotary
and kiwa1lis Clubs, the Fraternal
Orders from everywhere, send
their petitions by the score. This
is, indeed, the mandate of the mil
lions.
Altogether, the world has not
seen. the like. The movement is
apparently worldwide and is

Mhare Ice Makes Crops.

We are accustomed to think Of
Alaska as moist part Of the world.
but except in the southern portion IL
is rather arid, having a rainfall In
sufficient for the production OF crops.
When an area is first cleared for
planting the soil is moist enough. be-
ing frozen nearly to the surface the
year around. Then the Ice in the
ground gradually melts, so that the
first few crops require only slight
rainfall-the melting Of the ice furn-
isling sufficient moisture TO the roots
OF the growing plants.
In the course of a few years, how
ever, the Ice recedes TO q depth Of six
or more feet, and this reservoir Of
moisture Is no longer available for the
crops. 1t then becomes necessary to
resort 10 various expcdients. such ag
''rnulching,'' for hindering evaporation
and economizing the available water.

by Henry III of France Here is an

they carried to their mouths, bending
their necks and bodies over their
plates.
There were several salads. These
they ate with forks, for 1t is not con-
sidered proper to touch the food with
the fingers. However difficult it may
be to manage it, II is thought better to
put the little forked instrument in the
mouth than the fingers.
"1he artichokes, asparagus, peas
and beans were brought 1t was a
pleasure TO watch them try to eat
these with their forks. for some, who
were less adroit than the others.

on the way to the mouth as they were
able to get to their mouths.
"Afterward great silver basin and

the guests washed their hands, though

scent of meat and grease on them, for
they had touched their food only with
those forked instruments. - Ladies'
