the commemoration of tho terceH- * nary of the publication of \Don ' . ulxote \ brings to the fore the com- jilex personality of that prince of Span- lr *h letters , Miguel do Cervantes Saave- dra . \If by the spirit he was a writer , \ says Professor Geo rge Edward Wood- Lorry In McClure ' s , \l>y the flesh lie was a soldier. \ In that adventurous nge roving and fighting wore tlio typ- ical Spaniard ' s life. Cervantes ' boy- hood is wrapped In mystery and tradi- tion. It Is known that ho wus born in 1547 In Al'-alii do Iloiinros , nbout twenty miles frum Madrid , of poor Imt noblo parents , nnd educated nt Sala- manca nml Valladolld. Ills blogrnphei believes Unit ho may be satisfactorily Identified villi Hint Miguel do Cer- vantes , ii page at court , who tins sen- tenced fur some escapade to ton years ' exile (i ii'i the los s uf his right hand , (. ¦ .scaping those punishments l.y llii-ilit. At liny ra te , ho loft .Madrid In 1570 In tho train of tho papa l nun,'lu nml spent Unit year in Home , enjoying tin* most cultivated society I\ tho world. Tho Turks were then storming Cyprus und threatening Vienna, 'lho cry for a cru- Nitile ngainsl tlio Infidel wus loud , and Cervantes wus of those who gave it u willing car. Fur live yours tho young Spaniard served tho cross ngulust the crescent , at Nnvarino , Curfu , Tunis , Iu Sardinia , Sici ly and Italy. Don Juan ilo Austria himself Lore testimony to his good conduct. Sailing for home , Inm . Miguel was captured by Algerian pirates mul for live years moro was n Christian slave. He returned to Spain II crippled soldier and it ransomed serf. IIo became n king ' s ollicer and married one Donna Catallna , u womnn us poor ns himself. Trouble pursued him in his native soil , nnd ho was moro than once In prison. It Is said that lio l ioga u to write \Don Quixote \ In n coll . \Pen never blunted lance , \ he said , \ nur lance the pen , \ and oue fulling ) i j in he took up the other. He wrote a r rhoiihcrU' s book , full of rhetoric and lover ' s p laints . IIo trlci l tlio stage , wilh scones from his life iu Algiers. 'Iho short story, then n most popular field , he attempted also. Yot twenty years of such labors brought hiin nei- ther fame nor fortuno . lie hnd , how- ever , tnken his master ' s degrco ln the Litter school of experience , nnd when \I ion Quixote \ appeared , ln Cervantes ' fifty-eighth year , it was tho wor k of II wise old man. It wns a popular suc- cess , but Instead of friends it won him enemies mul left liim in the slough of poverty. Cervantes himself did not perceive the Importance of his chef (i' oeuvre . Not recognizing that he had broken out of the beaten path , lio re- turned tu liis old ways , seeking again the honors uf u poet In his \Journey to Parnassus. \ He agreed with his Inti- mates 11int his future reputation would rest upon his \Perslles and Siglsmun- tla , \ a book now forgotten by nil but scholars . MI KUC I de Cervantes. An Interesting contribution to the growing discussion of insurance for workmen is to be found In a ropojt to tbo state department by Thornivell Ilnynes , United States consul ut Rouen , Fra n ce . Such Insurance , ths consul snys . Is in operation , either ob- ligatory or voluntary, In England , Bel- glu m , Austria , Deuuinrk , Sweden , Nor- way, Hungary, Finland , Itnly, Switzer- land and Germany. The English sys- tem Is tlio must primitive , embracing only voluntary insurance , whilo that adopted by Germany Is the most elab- orate . Thoro is perhaps no country in tlie world whero tho workman is so well protected nnd cared for by tho stuto ns in the Gorman empire. Even clerks ami shop assistants are compelled to Insure . There are throe forms of in- surance—namely, ngalnst sickness , ac- cident nnd uld ago or Infirmity. In- surance against sickness Is especially Intended for those occupied In Industry and commerce. Among Its benefits nre freo medical attention in the case of Inability to work , financial assist- ance for thirteen weeks equal to DO per cent of tho workman ' s wages or gra tuitous uso of a hospital and 2. \ , per cent of tho daily salary to the fnniily, nnd In the case of donth funer- nl expenses equal to twenty times the dally salary. Two-thirds of the sick assessments nro paid by employers nml onc-thlrd by employees , in propor- tion to their wages . Workmen in Industrial nml agricul- tural labor oarniug uot over $482 a year mus t Insure ngalnst accident. Assess- ments are equitably divided between employers and employed.

BIG WASTE AT MINES Scheme to Teach Owners How to Save Riches. AN OBJECT LESSON IN ECONOMY Wlint Ihe Geological Survey Pro. poses to Do at the Levis and Clark Exposition In Portland. Many Valuable Minerals Found by Analyzing: Dumps , Sn jo XV. E. Curtis. Riches are so abundant Iu the west- ern states that those who seek them are very wasteful and reckless , says William E. Curtis , the Chicago Record- Herald' s Washington correspondent. The amount of valuable material neg- lected or wasted in the mines , forests , fisheries nnd farming communities •west of the Mississippi river -would support a nation like Germany or France. The great majority of peo- ple who bave been and are engaged ln the development of the natural re- sources of the west utilize only the most profitable discoveries and results of thoir labors and throw away the rest. Occasionally a Yankee who has not forgotten the lessons taught by tho struggles of Ills ancestors and has not entirely discarded the habits of thrift which his mother taught him is able to devise methods by which a great dea l of wastage is prevented , but the cow man still buys oleomargarine and other butter substitutes , tho lumber- man wastes one-third of his timber and the miner leaves on the ground valuable tailings which he has not time to work. This habit of wastefulness is peculiarly American. It cannot be found In any other nation or on any other continent save ours. The geological survey has a scheme to teach gold miners lessons ln econ- omy by which lt is hoped to Increase the mineral value of the output of the western states by utilizing valuable ores and earths which nre now wasted or neglected , nnd It Is proposed to offer an object lesson In this respect at the Lewis and Clark exposition at Port- land this summer. There are about 15 , 000 placer mluos ;:o * .. * being workc.l l:i the mouutuiu re- gions of tho west , at which no care is ta ken to preserve the byproducts. It Is proposed to begin the reform with tliem. In placer mining after the gold has been washed out of tho clay or dirt thero always remains a quan- tity of heavy metallic sand and other material of moro or less value. The most prevalent mineral is magnetite— a magnetic oxide of iron , which Is worth about $10 a ton—and almost al- ways traces of p latinum can be found , which is worth $20 an ounce , one of the most valuable of minerals. Chro- mite is another common mineral that Is ignored by miners , although it is worth from $20 to $40 a ton , and va- rious others offer a permanent and profitable Industry to miners who now throw them on tho dumps. In order to bring about a reform Director Walcott of the geological sur- vey has issued a circular to placer miners throughout the United States asking them to send In to the office at Washington packages of not less than four pounds of the black sand and heavy residue material from their washings. Each package will be an- alyzed and classified , and experts will be sent to make personal nnd thorough examinations of localities where pre- liminary tests give promise of finding platinum or other metals ln profitable quantities. Dr. Dav id T. Day will carry on concentration experiments with such materials in the mining building nt Portland all this summer. He proposes to show by dally public experiments what there Is of value ln the sands which are now wasted and how to get it out. Already several samples have been examined , and not only have valuable - minerals been found , but also several diamonds of commercial value , a quan- tity of small rubles , which mny be used as Jewels by watchmakers , and oc- casionally a topaz or other jewel. One sample of -black sand sent in from a mine was about 15 per cent bird shot which Indicates that there was a good deal of poor shooting in the neighbor- hood from which it came. A MATRIMONIALSOCIETY i How Fair Rosebud Homestead' ers Will Choose Husbands. THEY WILL WED OH 00HDITI0H8 Women Settlers at Bonesteel , S. D „ Will Require Suitors to Show Their Farming Ability—Men Hut Work n Tear on a Quarter Section—If Ther Do Well , May Win Fair Owner. Because about 10 , 000 men of all ages from every state ln the Union want to marry the 120 women eligible for matrimony who drew homesteads on the Rosebud Indian reservation , ln South Dakota , these 120 females have formed a mutual protective society, and the man who marries one of the number must first show that he is able to work a farm and must put in a whole season at plowing, sowing and harvesting, says a Bonesteel (S. D.) dispatch to the Brooklyn Eagle. After he does all this work , for which his fair inamorata receives the reward , the man may be rejected if he does uot please the owner of the homestead. But lf his work has been well done; lf there has been no grumbling ; lf tbe furrows have been straight and even , then the man may possibly become the proud possessor of n wife and a quar- ter section of good Rosebud land. Miss Ruth Pyrtle , formerly of Lin- coln , Neb., where she taught in the pub- lic schools , is president of the new so- ciety, aud Miss Estelle Salle , formerly of Mexico , Mo „ is vice president These are tho only two officers neces- sary, as each member answers the let- ters which have been assigned to her by the president. No secretary is needed. A few weeks ago the government published a list of the number of wom- en who drew homesteads at the allot- ment These names got Into tbe news- papers , and ns a result something like 10 , 000 men throughout the country have signified their willingness to ex- change their superior knowledge of the ways of the world for a joint seat be- side the firesides of the little cabins which the girls have built Most of the letters have been ad- dressed to different land agents in Bonesteel , and thousands of the suitors hnve left the matter entirely ln the hands of these agents , signifying their ability to be content with any bride the agent may pick for them. But the agents themselves could not on short notice determine on brides for many applicants , and tho girls soon found out that they were In great demand. Then they becamo haughty. With about 1 , 000 suitors for each woman , tbe girls decided that they would be lu uo hurry to avail themselves of any of- fer of marriage. They decided that any man who would marry the pos- sessor of a Bonesteel farm must como there and show his good Intentions by flrst planting and then harvesting a crop, all for the benefit of tho woman he wanted to marry. He must show his worth and prove that he wanted a wife more thnn he did a form. And so the society was born. Its name Is tbe Rosebud Ladles ' Protective association , nnd almost every one of those 120 females belongs to lt Some of Its members never had an offer of marriage before and were for taking the flrst applicant but the younger and better looking element prevailed , and a set of rules was promulgated which the members say will be lived up to re- ligiously. The letters recei ved are of all sorts , from the plain business proposition to the silly gash of the most approved schoolboy fashion . Tho president di- vides the letters evenly, giving each woman her share , unopened , so that no partiality may he shown. Every letter will be iv.u.vereil and the writer Invit- ed to come to Bonesteel to be Initiated , after which he will receive his answer from the girl to whom he is allotted. And tlio Initiation? It consists of nothing but work. The applicant will be required to labor without pay as an ordinary farm hand , doing what Is re- quired of an ordinary farm laborer , fol- lowing the orders of the female owner of tho farm ln those things of which she knows and teaching her thoso farm- ing secrets of which she knows not On Friday nights and Sunday after- noons be can sit up ln the parlor and talk to the fair homesteader , lf he isn 't too tired to do anything but go to bed. If the lovesick swain survives the season and tlio crops he makes are bountiful then bo may press his suit and receive a definite answer from the girl. Within the past few weeks all those \lady farmers \ who did not winter on the reservation have come out and have taken up the ranches which were al- lotted them. All are building cabins , and most of them are making the houses lnrge enough for two people. MANILA'S TROLLEY ROAD. The System Recently* Opened Forty Miles Lous. The recent opening of the Manila electric railway, says the Kansas City Journa l , gi ves that city a system of electric railways that probably cannot be surpassed by any town of the same size ln the United States. Work has been carried on for the past two years by a New York and London company, and in that time forty miles of urban and suburban track has been laid , a new and up to date power house and car barn constructed and the whole placed ln successfu l operation. Three years ago the city of Manila had a horse car line about eight miles long. Today instead of eight small mule cars there are a hundred doublo truck electric ears In service , and more will he added as necessity demands. The power Is generated in a steel and concrete structure , 11 , 170 feet lo- cated on au Island ln Uie Passlg river. This power house contains three 1 , 000 horsepower turbines , ea ch directly connected to turbo generators. Just south of the island ts a steel and concrete car barn , built , as is the cus tom in Manila , ln the form of a hollow square , and equipped with of- fices aud repair shops. A small but modern printing offlce is also operated by the company, ln which time tables , circulars , advertising matter and tick- ets are printed. It Is necessary on ac- count of thc distance from a suitable supply house. The track construction is equal to the best found in tho United States , the rails weighing seventy und ninety pounds to the yard. A large portion of the track is laid ou solid concrete foun- dation . Ou account of Uie naturally damp ellmute lt was necessary thor- oughly to coat all of the steel rails with asphaltum paint. It was necessary to use teakwood In all of the car construction on account of tho attacks of the white ant. The majority of the cars aro of the stand- ard cross bench , open type , used ex- tensively in the United States , aud to provide for tho raluy season a number of convertible and semiconverUble cars havo been provided. Portable screen parUtlons are used for separating flrst and second class passengers. The Canadian system of fare collection by means of fare boxes has been adopted . l_eaal . A SSE-SORS\ NOTICE.

German Doctor ' s Experiments Villi Apes anil Men. Professor Dr . Uhlenhuth, an eminent army doctor In Germany, definitely claims to have discovered the missing link by a long series of Investigations, having established the similarity ln ev- ery respect ot the blood of the higher apes and human beings , suys a Berlin special cable dispatch to the New York World. If the blood serum of ono ani- mal be mixed with that of any otber the mixture remains clear; If , however , blood be taken from an ape and Inject- ed into the veins of a rabbit the blood subsequently taken from this rabbit becomes troubled when mixed with more ape ' s blood. A similar result Is obtained If human blood be Injected Into the veins of a rabbit, and this sim- ple experiment is often relied upon to prove If a spot of blood found on tho clothes of a suspected murderer Is hu- man. This phenomenon Is observed only when the blood of apes or human be- ings Is Injected into the blood of some living animal , and the higher the ape ln the scale of development the more pronounced is the reaction. MISSING LINK IN BLOOD. The financial world will be greatly startled by a decision recently ren- dered ln Minnesota by a Justice of the peace to the effect that a national bank bill is outlawed and cannot be of any value to nny ono and therefore cannot constitute a good tender for a debt after six years from Its date , says Case and Comment. Tbe opinion of the learned Justice states that tho law is to the effect that a demand must be made within six years ln order to pre- serve a cause of action on a demand note; that thc bank note Is a demand note , and hi the absence of proof that payment thereof had ever been de- manded of the bank the note la out- lawed.

Policeman Halted Fashionable Pitts- burners as a *WHd West Outfit. \Darkest Pittsburg \ became a very real phrase to members of the ultra fashionable Country club the other day as they regretted an outing and a din- ner lost tlirough the Inability of a Pittsburg park policeman to under- stand the latest fashionable innovation —a road coach , says a Pittsburg special dispatch to lhe New York Press. In plain terms , a party of the richest folk In Pittsburg on a coaching run to tho Country club was held up by a po- liceman who believed coach and party to be nothing more than an advertising adjunct of a wild west show . Not only was he unable to tell the difference be- tween the crea m of Pittsburg' s smart set and a crowd of wild west perform- ers , but he arrested the driver and broke up the excursion. The Country club Includes most of Pittsburg ' s millionaires. Impressed by the success of the New York coach trips to Ardsley and the races , tho club bought a fine new coach , christened lt the Hiawatha and set a recent night for the flrst run. This was to have been from the club- house through Scheuley park , along a boulevard and back to the clubhouse ln time for dinner at 10 o ' clock. For- mer Senator AVllllam Flynn supplied four magnificent horses from his pri- vate stables , and the Invited guests In- cluded the crea m of the club member- ship. In Scbcnley park tho Hiawatha at- tracted the attention of Park Police- man Patrick Farley. He shivered with horror. Thc antiadvertising ordinance was being violated. There was the name of Hiawatha. It was part of the parade of tho Wild West showing at Pittsburg. IIo stop- ped the coach. \Look here , now , \ he said , \ you can't drive like that , and you can 't go through tills park a-drlvin ' your old cir- cus wagon to advertise them breakfast foods of yourn. D' ye hear me?\ The law abiding driver said he did. \Well , then , \ ordered the Irate bluecoat, \ you Just eome with me down to the station house , that' s what you 'll do. \ The members of the party were allowed to escape , but the driver was taken to the sta tion house. JAR FOR COACHING PARTY. \The attempt to manufacture a pre- pared sod which can be shipped or packed without au inch or two of dirt clinging to It has been successful , \ re- cently said A. IC. Gary of Manitowoc , Wis., to a reporter of the Milwaukee Sentinel. \Patents have been token out on the process , and preparations nre being made for the manufacture and ship- ment of the sad on a large scale. A particular brand of grass Is sowed on large beds , which are stripped and re- sowed several times daring the season. The sod when ready for shipment is about three-quarters of an inch thick and Is pressed and heavily seeded , so that as soon as laid out over stripped ground there Is a double growth. In this way a thicker and smoother turf la secured than could be had by the old way of laying down the bulky chunks of sod. \ Wild Tea. Tea grows wild lu many parts of Slam.

It has been arranged by the navy de- partment that all merchant ships fitted with wireless telegraph apparatus shall make dally weather reports when they are in touch with the government coastwise stations , which will shortly be established ln a chain extending from Portland , Me., to New Orleans and later to Galveston , says a Wash- ington correspondent of the New York Post. It is planned that such ships shall make their reports at Greenwich noon , which reports will probably be forwarded to the weather bureau In Washington. It Is also asked that there be special reports of any marked changes observed in the ba- rometer at other times. On the other hand , these naval wireless stations will furnish the ships when desired wlth weather forecasts which come from the weather bureau. At certain posts at which they may be observed the naval wireless stations along the coast will also display the nsnal weather signals. Big Slew Mexican Pine. At Clooderoft , N.

Dut in life Paul Jones was not one of many, and lt would seem that he can be fitly honored now only by surrounding bis tomb with the highest possible distinction . It is sug- gested that bis grave and monument stand apart from all as a shrine for special pilgrimages. The ca reer of Paul Joues was unique. He did not reach the top by rotation. He was a genius and carved a place for himself. Napoleon said tbat had tiie grea t American admiral beeu alive In ISO,} the French naval disaster at Tra- falga r would not have happened. That means that Lord Nelson would have found bis master ln tbe hero of the Bouhomme Itlcbard . Jones himself first conceived the idea of carrying Uie war Into thc home wa- ters of the enemy. He first gavo tlio stars and stripes to the breeze on tho ocean , commanded the first ship tliat floated it and fought on her decks , cut- lass in hand , like a common sailor within sight of haughty Albion ' s shores . A grateful republic will give the hero ' s remains a fitting ceremonial voyage and welcome , but the occasion will not be complete unless a mauso- leum Is prepared which shall be to the memory of I' aul Jones what Mount Vernon Is to Washington , the chapel Des Invalides , In Purls , to Napoleon and the crypt by tbe Hudson river side to (Irant. Tho Fate of Paul Jones. Periodically some one brings up the Idea that the average person uses but a very few words.

Many, very many, words are repeated again and again In tbe same sentence. Ituskin said that when a person has made a choice of a word to convey a certain meaning it is all right to stick to it aud use lt even In frequent repetitious. If any ono Is desirous to command a large list of words a good way is to set to work and memorize and then use tbem in writing and speaking over and over until tliey become fixed iu the m ind. It is a task ot labor , but has its advan- tages. Better late than never is tbo \Diary From Dixie , \ written by Mrs. James Chestnut , who was the wife of James Chestnut , Jr. , United States senator from South Carolina , 1859-C1 , and aft- erward aid-de-camp to Jefferson Da- vis and later a general in the Confeder- ate army. Mr . Chestnut was the bear- er of Genera l Beauregard' s summons to Major Anderson to surrender Fort Sumter , and he dictated and signed the message to Anderson announcing the hour when tlie Confederates would opeu li re .

Tributes paid to Uie IMe General Fibs-Hugh Loo and to men of bis class by the northern press show a genuine regard for Uie personal quali- ties of Uie Confederates who are sin- gled out for these unusual honors. Many of them read as Uiough they were Inspired by veterans wbo were antagonists of Uie deceased in the civil war. General Lee had been selected to spea k at a Ggaml Army Memorial day gathering In Philadelphia. For many years lt has been Uie custom lu the norUi for Federal veteransj>!i Invito ex- Confederates to Join thorn in their Memorial day exercises. Tbe friendliness of old foes of tho civil war at this date Is natural , and lt Is wholesome. The strongest memo- ries of survivors of the war ora are related to Uiat period. The persistence of the Grand Army of the Republic Is proof of Uiat. The members of the posts of that organization tire not actual comrades of the camp and field , but veterans of tho groat armies of tbe east and west. The majority of them never met until they Joined the Grand Army. The sentiment which brings tliem togoUier nnd the tie which holds them are memories of heroic days. In tho sixties , when they woro young, thoy experienced me lofties t emotions or thoir whole lives . Thoy lovo to meet Willi the moil who lived through tlio same crisis. A solillor thinks profoundly ou the dangers ho has passed and next to hiniself rega rds the man who faced the same dangers . During the war ou the occasions of a truce foes wore eager to meet the very men In the opposing ar- mies who had fought against them . And after forty years tho fooling Is the same. Tliere Is no justification of the cause for which the south took up arms ln the present day friendliness for Confederate survivors. It is a mat- ter of human sentiment and not a be- trayal of political loyalty. He would be a strange American who , with but a more book knowledge of the war , would not feci gratified to look upon the survivors of the army led by Rob- ert E. I.oe and Stonewall Jackson . Much more , then , are the northern vet- erans who tested their valor ln battle eager to shake them by the hand for old times ' sake. Fltz-nusb Lee and Memories.

Among oUier things , Mr. Shaw declared that he him- self has written a bettor play than \As You Like it\ and never anything so bad as that. Shakespeare , according to Shaw , found that the only Uilng that paid In the theater wns romantic non- sense , nnd he dished up this particular play as n sample of the public taste ami threw It into Uie faces of theater goers with the phrase \As You Like It. \ Shakespeare tried to make the pub- lic accept real studies of life and char- actor , as , for Instance , \Measure For Measure \ and \All' s AVell That Ends Well , \ but the public wouldn 't have theni. Rosalind is \ a fantastic sugar doll\ instead of \the perfect type ot woman \ commonly described. Shake- speare ' s weaknesses , as thoy appear to Mr. Shaw , are summed up as follows: Shakespeare ' s weakness lies ln Ills com- plete deficiency in that highest sphere of thought tn which poetry embraces roli- i-rlon . pliilosophy. morality and tho N-ar- iri; ¦ : ' these on communities , which !- • • ::o- i' i.„ii „ ' . i ' . ills c ' .

Ills tes t of tho worth of life is the vulgar hedonlc test nnd hence , since life cunnot bo jusUllotl by this or any other external test , Shakespeare comes out of his reflective period a vulgar pes- simist opprcsseil with it logical ilemonstra- tlon that life Is not worth living. This does not mean that Shakespeare lacked the enormous fund of Joyousness which Is the secre t of genius , but simply that , like most middle class Englishmen bred ln prl- viitc houses , hi: was a very incompetent thinker and took It for granted that all Inijulry into life began nnd ended with tho question, \Does it pay?\ Having worked out his balance sheet and gravely conclud- ed that life ' s but a poor payer , etc.. and thereby deeply Impressed a public which after a due consumption of beer and spir- its is ready to believe that everything maudlin Is tragic nnd everything senseless sublime . Shakespeare found himself laugh- ing and writing plitys and getting drunk at the Mermaid much ns usual, with Ben Jonsoh llndlng lt necessary to reprove him for a too exuberant sense of humor. Shakespeare ' s power , the critic says , lies lu his enormous command of word music , which redeems even his black- guardly repartees and ills hollowest platitudes. A Rapid Fire Critic of Sh akespeare. Tlio political parties of Cuba are two , the Liberal and the Modera te , not , us has been frequently stated , Uie Con- servative aud tbo Radical. The Lib- erals nre the successors of tbe form er Nationals and the Moderates of the Republicans. The line of difference between the professed alms aud pur- poses of tho two parUes Is very vague. Cuban parties are groups of supporters of particular leaders rather than ex- ponents of some special policy. Presi- dent Palma bas until recently avoided affiliating himself with any one party. In January last , however , iu view of his campaign for re-election he an- nounced his definite connection with the Moderates , n step which caused tho resignation of his cabinet and a split In that party ' s ranks. A strong bolting contingent Is now supporUng Jose Miguel Gomez , who is likely to be President Raima ' s most formidable op- ponent. The Liberal candidate has not yet appeared , but he will probably be General Emilio Nunez , who has Uie support of Genera l Maximo Gome-. Still thero is the chance of a coalition between the bolting Moderates and the Liberals . in the interest of Jose Miguel Gom ez . It is understood that Maximo Gomez would not oppose such a union. The old warrior is not on good terms with President Palma. The political pot is already boiling merrily, and tho opposition to Presi- dent Palma, which Is in the majority In the present congress , is accusing the administration of misuse of patronage and other misdemeanors.

Iwo fac- tors being essential to Its development— the presence of the germ nnd favorable conditions for It—both factors being sub- ject moro or less to intelligent control.

Aft- er n careful investigation Mr. Herbert Copoltiud writes in the Boston Tran- script as follows: The Increase In both U IA - publication and circulation of bunks of travel , biography, letters und reminisce,ices luts been ln the last few years astounding. Never before In the history of the world have peoplo been so eager to know nbou t other people and olher lands , and the result has been an enormous multiplying of books dealing with such matters. There has always , of course , among the educated been a lot of reading of this kind , but the very great advance ln this department means that the grea t mass has begun to read these things us well as fiction and , having once acquired the taste by reading the new and much advertised books of this nature , are now going back to the standard and older works which until recently hnd been read little save by tho student nnd the elect few.

A recent lecturer before a Chicago chapter of tbe Daughters of tbe Rev- olution took for his subject \The Yankees , \ whom he described as a growth produced by centuries of up- heavals , conflicts , reforms , awakened conscience and n now world. Said ho: The Yankee pioneer was n hero. No danger appalled him . no defeat disheart- ened him: he fought everything from tho Indians to the Itch. In the Puritan settle- ments , ln which Yankee character was Hrst formed , everybody worked. Only those rested who lay ln the churchyards. The strong worked ln the fields , nnd tho feeble watched for the Indians. Home life was rigid and its discipline severe. On the table lay a Bible , and In the corner hung a rod. The Puritan was versed in one and handy with the other. The pre- eminent traits of the Yankee are genius , enterprise and push. The term \Yankee \ lias boon very much abused iu the past. When the eastern merchant crossed to the west of tho Hudson w ith his pack or wagon he was called a Yankee and taken for n type of lho people whom he repre- sented. But not all Yankees wero peddlers. Jim Flsko was a Yankee , aud so wns Jay Gould lu the sense of that word In their early days . Thou every- thing down oast was \Yankee.\ WiUi the civil war the term was broadened and was applied to the men of the whole north as a synonym for \ genius , enterprise aiul push. \ Now the whole country Is included , but the namo has changed to American. Franco finds that hor liavy has fallen behind that of England , and it is now proposed to bring the outfit up to (Into. Only a couple of years ago England was talking the same way about her navy and that of France. Tlio British- ers went to work nnd finally gat the lead of all the world iu naval arma- ment , and uow France must be a lag- gard or put up tho cash for more ships. Tho wonder Is whore Uils thing will stop with any natlou wishing to be the match for every other . England used to be content with a two power equipment—that is , a navy strong enough for any two first class navies . Now hor ambition Is a throe power re- quirement , nnd the next step will be a navy which can fight the whole world. Tliere is no other logical ending for tho natlou that wishes to be ahead of all . - ¦¦y^maMmmimiimma. Tho Race of Yankees. A rush for places ln tho civil service is reported from Washington , the ap- plications having Jumped In a your from S. iKUl to 18. 000 . Various reasons for this are given by observers , among theni bard (linos , low wages nnd the prldo whieli comes of an appointment by merit. None of those considera- tions Is In Itself strong enough to at- tract persons of ability Into employ- ment whore the prospect of advance Is exceedingly poor and the life n verita- ble treadmill.
