Judging from tho noise ho Imi't milk
ing It Is only fair to Infer that Win
ston Churchill Ih busy on n new book
which may be brought out about tho
time another campaign Is b tar ted In
New Hampshire.
Tho London Times Is endeavoring to
establish Itself on a twentieth century
ImihIh, but It has not as yet begun to
oflVr prlws for the best definition of
love- or tho most lucid solution of thu
problem of Ann's age,
It Is annnumvd that Mr. and Mrs.
Itockefeller consider thcincelves too
lHor to Imvo oysters hcrml at their
table. Ict us not, however, penult
ourselves to be distressed at their iov
crty. They con probably afford to have
u soup biuio at least oucu a day.
I.niMror William Is rvMrted to have
Imvoiihi an enthusiastic golfer. Now
for tho llrst time In his life ho will have
a chance to slnw that ho Is really
great. If ho can play eighteen holes
without losing his temper It will have
to be admitted that (Jerumuy bus u
wonderful ruler.
Some of tin men who nro named as
probable successors of King Leopold In
tho administration of affairs In thu
Congo country may nt bo very well
i-uallllcd for tho business of ruling co
pie, but any chaugo from tho present
condition of tho Inhabitants of tho
Congo district would necessarily bo for
tho better.
Tho establishment of parliamentary
government In countries accustomed to
autocracy Is not easy, Itussla Is hav
ing trouble over tho problem. In Per
sia the isvplo nro accusing tho lend
ers of tho reform movement of seeking
Hellish ends, and they have no confi
dence In the proceedings of their houso
of representatives. In Montenegro,
where thu llrst parliament was recent
ly organized, tho legislators voted lack
of confidence In tho government tho
other day, tho rnbluet resigned, aud
parliament adjourned.
Tho attempts thus fur mailo to ills
regard and nullify tho Immutable laws
of nature Imvo been lnughnblo lu tlmlr
fantastic failure. Ctvumuulstlc nud -h
clnllstlu experiments, whether iiiado by
nrtltk'lal soclutles or lmjxHed by great
nations uhh a jeople, as was tho enso
In Uuunda In "Now France," have go;io
down in wreck and disaster. In tho
formal attempts to found societies on
tho equality plan a curious thing al
ways tiupcus lu tho end. It may bo
eiiKKcstcd by thoso who have not lopked
Into them thnt tho loafers nnd ttu
workers do the work, according to their
.Unit. Not at all; tho loafers and th.
ambitious, wlw under our present crude
lestem would bo Uio workers, take tc
.loafing too.
"My most serious problem Is how I
.can glvo my children tho advantage of
tho ioor man's." A iopular mngnzlno
quotes a rich man as saying this. Most
rich men lu th'a country Imvo thorn
m'Ivoj Ihhu sous of poor men. Tho old
Kuropenn lnws of primogeniture and
entail being Inoperative with us, every
man Btiuids on his own feet nnd de
pends on his own head nud lunula for
kit) fortune. Eveu Uio heir to wealth
must use his own brains nnd energies
to tnko caro of It, or It Boon slips away.
And It Is n fact, which tho rich man
quoted sccmH to have noticed, thnt not
all, nor most, children of tho rich Imvo
ability even to hold wealth dumped In
their laptt. A few children of rich men
have notably made their Inherited
wealth a great blessing to themselves
and mankind but they arc precious
few. Call tho roll of tho men nnd
women who Imvo achieved tho highest
fortune or fame lu this country, and
an overwhelming majority will bo
found to Imvo como up from tho "lower
wnlks" of life and to owe their devel
opment of character to struggle nnd
f-olf-denlal. It Is of thoso twin bless
ings lu disguise thnt wo gain strength,
skill, sympathy, pun tone. Tho child
pampered In Idleness and luxury knows
little of these vital things, nnd when
ho meets In contest tho uncouth but
toughened boy from tho farm or tho
side street, ho bus poor chnncc of hold
ing his own. We nro accustomed to
think of tho "ndvnntnges" of the chil
dren of the rich. Iiut nil tho history
of human life since the world begun
proves that tho real "advantages" uro
on tho other side.
Knrly In October llrltlsh sonp manu
facturers formed a combination llko
what no know In Amerlcn ns n trust.
Six weeks Inter the members of tho
combination announced that "tho work
ing arrangement entered Into by the
leading soap makers of tho United
Kingdom has lieen received with sucli
disfavor by the trade nnd the public
ns to make It unworknble, nnd It has
been decided to termlunte the nrrnnge
nient." NewHpaiHjrs, tradesmen and
consumers had united to defeat tho
combination. One need not npjirovo
tho methods of boycott resorted to by
tho retailors, or tho fnvors shown by
newspnperH to "Independent" sonp (link
ers lu tho matter of advertising, which
contributed to mnke tho allied firms
dissolve their ngreeinent. Hut It may
lie noted with satisfaction that tho chief
(Hiwer against tho tmst was the public,
nnd that the combination was undone
not by legal or political measures, or
by any ethical principle, hut simply by
the fact thnt popular opposition mado
It "unworkable." Tho people did not
llko thu combination, nud they made
tho mauufacturcrH feel their strong dis
approval of It. Wherever organized
and artificial evil shows Itself nnd Is
recognized In time. Hiwmtnncous opix
sltlou on tlio part of public opinion can
often, If not always, break It up, al
though politics, law nud mere ethics
fall. Even whero tho consumer hns not
tho wenpon of coniH'litlon, ns In tho
case of railroad companies with unique
franchises, tho peoplo enn forco atten
tion to their Just demands If they will.
Cartoonists nro still representing tho
common jieoplo as a sorry, wizened lit
tlo man. In this country ns lu Eng
laud, his arm nnd voice nro mighty If
ho but use them,
l'lMileil tho Holdup Men,
A west end man had an e.Hrlcnco
recently that made his hair stand on
end and had It not lccn for his (illicit
wit lu devising u means of getting out
of the dllllculty It might have cast him
denrly. Ho Is the treasurer of n local
lodge nud was returning homo from n
meeting with a considerable amount of
money in his possession, fortunately
the greater part of which was lu cur
rency. Ho got off n enr quite n distance out
In the west cud and turned off u sldo
street townrd his home, when ho no
ticed that ho was being followed by
two suspicious looking men. Quick as
n Hash ho pulled an onvclopo out of his
pocket, addressed It to himself, stump
ed It, put tho currency Inside It nud
dropped It lu tho mail box. Then he
started on u brisk walk.
Suddenly there came a command
from behind him.
"Hands up I"
Up went his hands nnd tho robbers
went through his pocket. Ho smiled
grimly us tho holdups secured only a
few dollars In silver nnd ho thought
with pleasure of tho money ho had put
In the mall box In Unelo Bain's enre.
The rohlK'M went nwny complaining of
tlw small amount they secured nud tho
treasurer went home. Next day tho
letter containing the money was deliv
ered sufely to his ofllce. Duluth Nowa

Three principal liypotheses Imvo been
offered to account for the origin of
pearls. According to ono they nrlso
from accretions caused by tho pres
ence of some foreign object, such ns n
grain of sand, within tlw shell of tho
oyster. Hut It has been shown that
flue pearls are not thus produced.
Another theory la that pearls are tho
result of disease In the oyster. Tho
third hyiothesls, siutnlued by M. Sou
nit of tlw Oecunogniphlc museum of
Monaco, U that tho origin of pearls Is
to tw ascribed to the presence of a
parasite. Tho species of parasite dif
fers with tho species of oyster, but this
mode of origin, M. Seurat beltoviw, Is
general with all tine pearls.
To restore tho luster of n "dead"
pearl the outer turnlshed envelope may
bo removed with acids. Thus the ef
fect produced upon a tarnished pearl
by causing a fowl to swallow It Is ac
counted for by tho dissolvent action
of tho gastric Juice,
Invented Crenm Xrevaer.
