Toledo blades are still made in the government weapon factory, but those of modern production do not compare with the ancient work. It seems to be a lost art. The genuine Toledo blades, made by the Moors, were so elastic and tough that they could be curled up like a watch spring. You can see them in the armory at Madrid, but only ordl nary swords and bayonets for the army are made there today. The secret seems to have been forgotten. The steel came from England. It is the same as is used for ordinary purposes, and. as in Japan, where the art reached an equal degree of superiority, the difference in the product lay in the skill of the armorer and the process he used. In the secondhand shops of Toledo and of the bric-a-brac dealers you can buy old swords for reasonable prices, but genuine ones, made before the sixteenth century, when the best were produced and the art began to decline, are very rare and are promptly picked up by connoisseurs whenever they are offered. The names of the old makers are as well known as those of th» painters of great pictures, and a sword made by Nicholas or Dune or Don Isio or Correnties in the fourteenth and fitteenth centuries is worth several times its weight in gold. Each armorer of Toledo in ancient times as in Japan, had his cipher, which Is to be found on his blades, and there was as much rivalry among them as there is today among the opera singers. Julian del Rei, the most famous of the Moorish stvordmakers, always cut the figure of a dog on the blades of his swords near the hilt, and MorriHo, who was also famous, used a wolf for his coat of arms. The swordmakers of Toledo had a guild for mutual protection, but they worked separately. Each had his own secrets for relining and tempering steel, which be concealed from his rivals, but transmitted to his children, who inherited the business.—Chicago Record-Herald. Quite the Contrary. Woman of the House—Y'ou’re not oss of these labor agitators, are you? Goodman Gonrong (with nls mouth full of piei—No, ma’am. I’m a rest agitator.—Exchange.

FROM BRYAN'S COMMONER. The gentlemen who complain that presidential campaigns unsettle business are finding difficulty in securing the proof this year. Republican leaders are explaining by saying that Mr. Roosevelt wrote those books long years before he ever entertained an idea of running for the presidency. Speaker Cannon’s touching reference to "Pilgrim’s Progress” seems to Indicate that Uncle Joe has arrived at the “Slough of Despond" stage of the campaign. Os course Statistician Wright will not overlook the fact that on the day that dressed beef in Chicago went up 2 cents a pound the price of beer cams down $2.50 a barrel. The outlook in Indiana and New York is such that Mr. Addicks grows more confident of being able to fix up a deal for Delaware with the managers of Mr. Roosevelt’s campaign. Os course those disgruntled Filipinos must understand tnat the President’s expressed desire for peace has no connection with those who object to the g. o. p. policy of imperialism. “From Lincoln to Roosevelt” is the title of a pamphlet just issued by the Republican national committee. The pamphlet is a short one, but the distance covered is immense, and down hill all ths way. It Is reported that Mr. Cortelyou will succeed Mr. Payne as postmaster general. Mr. Cortelyou is much more successful as a successor than he was as a public official charged with the duty of investigating and prosecuting Illegal trusts and combinations. The Topeka Herald says that “every strike settled before election is a blow to Democratic hopes of success. How about the packinghouse strike? The g. o. p. is welcome to all it can make out of that Secretary Shaw couldn’t see a $41,000,000 deficit with a microscope, but he managed to see the little surplus of $6,000,000 with his naked eye at a distance of 1,800 miles. The g. o. p optics always were in need of a firstclass oculist’s services. It is noticeable that the papers clamoring loudest for the policy of “teach ing the people self-government" are also loudest in their support of the party whose policy is to let the trusts do all the governing in this country. A POPULIST’S TRIBUTE. William V. Allen, former United States senator from Nebraska, has given out a letter in which, while maintaining that he is still a Populist, he pays a high tribute to Judge Parker. He says he has studied Parker’s legal opinions and has found him to be clear on the trust proposition aud that he has been consistent throughout his judicial career, being able, conscientious and fearless. Senator Allen concludes his letter thus: “Thus it will be seen that, whatever may be said of Judge Parker’s poltical belief in the gold standard, bls judicial opinion of the authority of ths government to restrain monopolies and of the jurisdiction of the courts to enforce anti-trust legislation Is strong. Being the chief judge of the highest judicial tribunal of a state in which monopolies have their habitat, Judge Parker must possess a strong individuality and a pleasing personality to win the confidence of the people to the extent of intrusting him to administer this office "A careful reading of other judicial utterances of Judge Parker in a great variety of cases which came before the court of which he was ‘.he presiding judge clearly demonstrates his capacity and fitness for judicial work. His writings are facile, clear, perspicuous, and his reasoning of undoubted soundness and along the lines of the best judicial thought of the country on the trust question. They are marked by method, candor and care, which manifest that while he Is conservative and therefore safe, he as at the same time fearless in the discharge of duty. "Such a man, other things equal, is much preferable for an exalted and responsible publie position to one who is a lover of guns and martial airs and given over to tinsel and spectacular display.” Flattery and Flatterer,. "Wt sometimes fancy we hate flattery, when in truth it is the manner of it we dislike,” said La Rochefoucauld. Stripped of its cynicism, the Baying comes to this—that while praise is eternally pleasant there are fashions in flattery, and those fashions change very completely. Flattery Is innocent or despicable, not according to whether or not it oversteps the limits of the accurate, but whether or not It proceeds from an interested or a disinterested motive There are moments wheii a true statement of honorific fact made for the selfish purpose of the speaker may be gross flattery, while an exaggerated speech may be justified by its good intention. The real question is not what was said, but why it was said. That Is the only test by which we can divide the contemptible from the harmless kind. Surely there is less of the worse Bort than there was, or do we but flatter ourselves?—London Spectator. ® ™-
