1 KOLITSCAb u - fr Trade' Erw. at Good Feeling. Simultaneeusiy comes the news of the Ilarrhnan HUI gentlemen's agreement, the placing of heavy orders abroad for American steel, and the genera! advances in the stuck market. This is a welcome relief from the gloomy talk which was heard a week or ten days ago. on account of the assumed disturbance which tariff revision would cause. Sa.vs the younger Hill, the new president of the Great Korthern. "There is no fight between the Hill and H:-irriman forces. There has been none between them since 1901, although the public imagined there was. The feeling between them now is better than It ever was in the past." Coming from the hfad of one of the rival interests, this assurance Is pleasing r fading to th; country. In different words Mr. Harrlnian couflrms this story of a peace pact. The seat cf war between these forces, if there were any war. would be in the Northwest chiefly, and more railroad building Is being done in the Northwest at this moment than In any other section of the country. This Kieans that the men who are putting up the money there not only see leaee, but they see a prosixt of heavy train In the immediate future. Ulbert II. (Jary, Charles M. Schwab and the rest of the steel magnates have as good a cans? for rejoicing as the heads of the rival transportation interests In the trans-Mississippi region are .v In. wing. To Mr. Schwab's company lias just come a heavy order for battle ships for Argentina. Another American concern Las secured a contract for rails and fish plates for the street railway system of Glasgow. These American companies made lower bids than their foreign rivals, and thus got the work. Scotch steel makers were beaten on their own ground. Germany, which is making greater strides forward in steel production than England, was the chief competitor for the Argentina contract, but it was, according to report, "beaten out of sight by Schwab's company. The American people like these evidences of American skill and efficiency. They can now understand why Mr. Schwab changed his time the other day. After saying that the cut in steel would injure every American producer, and possibly compel them to cut wages, he came round to the po.-i-tion talce by the Ways and Minns Committee, and said that the cu would not injure him or any other mil' owner. Here is where he and Mr. Pa.'ne are in entire agreement. About 40 pT cent of the world's aggregate steel production Is contributed by the United States. It is evident from the contracts which Americans have just won In Glasgow and Argentina that we are In not the slightest danger of losing oar supremacy In that Held. Mr. Payne's committee will hear no more protests against the reduction which it has made on steel products. Possibly the committee is now sorry that it did not make the cut a ltttle deeper. The country now has an Intelligent reason for the advances In the stock market. Business is sound. The general direction of all activities is toward expansion. Revised returns tell us that the world's gold yield was a long way over $400,000,O?O in the calendar year 190S. which broke all records. As the adoption of labor economizing methods In gold extraction continues, some of the abandoned mines of a few years ago are now being worked profitably. Deducting the amount of the metal used In the arts and Industries, more than $.".00, XJ0.0CO of gold each year Is now l-elng added to the world's stock of coin. Here is one of the reasons why prices of all commodities were sustained so well during the recent trade stagnation. All the world's financial centers are well supplied, with caRh. Even the treasury at Washington reveals within the past week or two the effects of the trade revival. The revised figures for March show that the deficit for that month was only $3,11.'.000, Instead of the $4,000,000 which had leen estimated on the last day of the month, and Instead of the $G,00O.0io or $8,000,000 which had been predicted seven or eight weeks earlier. Thus the rheerful tone of the railway chiefs, the steel magnates and the other captains i,i industry is communicated to the treasury officials. All along the line the Industrial and financial situation is better than had been looked for by this time by even the most sanguine. The treasury deficit for the year will probably pass the $100,000,000 mark. iut It will stop far short of the giddy height which everybody a few moLths ego feared it would reach. The "oen rate" for steel which has prevailed for the past few weeks has increased orders sufficiently to bring more profit to the mill owners than did the higher figure and the diminished activity of the earlier months. In the general chorus of cheerfulness which is going up from heads of the larger activities all over the country the great mass of the IHple have a right to join. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. A LMtlne Debt of Gratitude. The protective tariff has fosteredand made possible the great industrial development of this country and not a city but owes It a lasting debt of gratlture. Fort Wayne's factories are Its children, practically every one of 'them, and well Informed men are perfectly cognizant of the fact. Take, for example, the Wayne knitting mills. This thriving industry, with a monthly pay roll of more than $50,000, could never have succeeded here but for the tariff, and In the archives at Washington will be found a memorial signed by many :f the leading Democrats of Fort Wayne praying Congress to preserve a high tariff on hosiery. This industry has grown up under the fostering care jf the protective tariff, and. as it has prospered, the price of hosiery has constantly declined, this, too. with the tariff schedule all unchanzed. It Is all very well for ;be unthinking corner store politicians to Inveagh against the protective tariff, but it is perfectly In order, perhaps, for the people to remember that It has served them well in the past and is capable of bearing good fruit In the future. Fort Wayne News. There Will Be No More of Them. There la one feature of the bill which iems to meet the approbation of all parties, and that is maximum and minimum rates, of which the minimum represents the measure of protection Intended to be given, while -the maxlaium is for such countries as discriminate against us. That will put an end

(fc

to the iniquitous '"reciprocity" treaties In which the State Department behind closed doors trades off some weak American industry fcr 'the ler.elit of a stronger. The treaties in existence will, of course, be faithfully observed until they can be terminated In accordance with their terms, but there will be no more of them except the most abominable of all, which is the Cuban treaty. San Francisco Chronicle. Dank Deposit Guaranty The bank deposit guaranty scheme Is now to be given a trial elsewhere than in Oklahoma. This year the legislatures of three other States have accepted it. In two of them co-insurance will be voluntary. A State bank can stay in or out as It pleases. The Kansas legislators hoped that this modification of the Oklahoma plan would enable the national banks to come In if so disposed. The attorney general has dashed their hopes by telling them that it is out of the question. Doubtless the State hanks which need ail the backing up they can get will ; avail themselves of the law. What the banks with abundant resounvs will think of the law is another ma'ter. They may not care to tax themselves for the benefit of their weaker brethren. But whether banks unite voluntarily or under compulsion to guarantee deposits, the banks do not in the long run pay the tax. It will fall upon the depositors In one way or another, and the cost to the average depositor will be greater than if he were to pay some reputable Insurance company the premium it would charge for guaranteeing his deposit. Still, If the system does not break down in some of the States which are adopting It, neighboring States may le tempted to fall into line with them. There will be a better opportunity now to ascertain the effect of the guaranty system uin the national banks of a State adopting it than the single experience of Oklahoma could afford. The repons from there are contradictory. Curiously enough, the overwhelmingly Democratic Legislature of Texas refused to adopt the guaranty plan. Mr. Brvan went to Austin and made a speech for It, but the legislators, perhaps to emphasize? their Indifference tJ him. refused to act. Or It may be that the Legislature; which was so conservative regarding railroad and other legislation as to incur the wrath of a radical Governor was of the opinion fiat It would be well to wait and see the workings of the deposit guaranty plan in other States, une. rhicago TribA Great Wrung 1 Belnif Done. Another thing we ought to do stop this scheme of making tariff schedules outside the halls of Congress. Itecent treaties of a commercial nuture have proved ufterly Indefensible. Take that agreement with Germany. In Its administrative features, at least. Immense harm has been done to American interests. Made In Germany" is a placard that 1- met with everywhere. It would not be so common were it not for the fact that German goods Included in the treaty are coming In at a small tariff valuation. Annually the government Is cheated out of many millions of dollars because of undervaluations. The German manufacturer practically decides the duty on his goods. They are handled In this country I through German agents. ermany is pushed to It to dispose of her surplus. She has gone manufacturing mad. She swamps England, because there Is no dr.iy there upon her goods. She Is sending her wares here, because she can manufacture cheaply, paying small wages In comparison to those paid here, and because she is iiertnltted to fix a very low valuation for xport purposes. Not only is the United State's treasury made to suffer through the low duties collected, but the American employe suffers through the Invasion of the Amerlcaiv market. A very great wrong Is being done, and the new Congress will be exacted to right it. Philadelphia Inquirer. The Dookn Leaked.

I

J&Zä2r nnd ,a the antarctic region in particular. Having

been due to the different conditions In the two regions. The more striking differences were well Illustrated by several of the achievements and discoveries reported by Lieutenant Shackleton. These were the finding of eight mountain chains, more than 100 mountain peaks and the ascent of Mount Erebus, an active volcano, 13,11.0 feet high. All the indications were that the site of the south pole is a plateau 10,00) or 11,000 feet ahove sea level. The mountains discovered ranged from 8,000 to 12.000 feet in height, and demonstrated that Alpine climbing and scenery could be found In other places on the globe than Switzerland and British Columbia. Mount Markham, also In this region, Is more than 13,000 feet high. A;parently "there is all the difference in the world" between the two poles, speaking figuratively, In respect to physical conditions. All the lndi-. cations are that the north pole is covered with frozen spray dashed up against It by the waves of a polar sea. Or. If the spray freezes before It dashes up, then the pole may be buried beneath grinding Iceb?rgs. However that may be, the fact apparently is that the north pole is surrounded by a sea about as large as the continent which seems to surround the south pole. Commander Peary, In seeking his goal, therefore must make his way over field Ice, which may shift with the currents of the polar sea. This sea, being largely surrounded by land and having comparatively narrow outlets to the warmer oceans, the Ice upon It is under immense pressure and Is forced up Into ridges dlßlcult for the explorer's sledge to negotiate. The ice of the antarctic region does not offer so great obstacles of this nature, for It flows from the land of the antarctic continent Into a sea open on all sides to the warm currents from the tropics. To this fact is attributed by some explorers the smoother surface of the ice of the southern polar region. In traversing this southern continent, a body of land believed to exceed the United States in ar , apparently, the Immense glaciers, with their cavernous crevasses, the mountain slopes and the consequent rarefied air are the chief Impediments. The Great Ice Barrier. One of the most Interesting physical features of the antarctic region Is the so-called great lee barrier. This is a cliff of Ice stretching eastward from Queen Victoria Land for a distance of approximately 450 miles and terminating at the land discovered by Captain Scott In 1002, and named by him King Edward VII.'s Land. This remarkable barrier ranges In height from three or four feet to upward of 2.0 feet, most of it towering above the masts of a vessel. It Is one of the chief conundrums of the antarctic. Is

1 ESKIMO SUPERIORITY. t Vilhjalmar Si fansson, in writlug of his thirteen months stay among the Eskimos, tells, iu Harper's Magazine, of this great kindness to a guest who could not pa' for his keep, a stranger whose purpose among ihein they did not know. In an Eskimo home I have never heard an unpleasant word between a man and his wife, never seen a child punished nor an old ierson treated Inconsiderately. The household affairs are carried on in an orderly way, and the good behavior of the children is remarked by practically every traveler. In many things we are the superiors of the Lsklmo; in a few v.e are his Inferiors. The moral value of some of his sujK'rlority is small. lie can make better garments against cold than our tIlors and furriers; he can thrive In barren wastes where a New KuglandtV would starve. But of soin;? of his superiority the moral value is great. lie has developed individual equality farther than we. ho U less self sh, more helpful to his feilows, kinder to his wife, gentler to his child, more reticent about the faults of his neighbor than any but the rarest and best of our race. When I tried to express thanks for their klndness In my fragmentary Eskimo, thoy were more surprised than pleased. "Do, then. In the white man's land, some starve and shiver while others eat much and are warmly clad?" To that question I said, "No," although I knew I was lying. 1 was afraid the competitive system could not ! be explained to them satisfactorily; i neither was I, being the poorest among I them, very anxious to try justifying jit.

Dr. Whately looked the young man aver with the utmost gravity and, without relaxing a muscle of his face ae proiounded another conundrum. "Do you know," he said, "the difference between an aide-de-camp and an ass?" "No, I do not," replied the officer. "Neither do I. sir!" thundered his I fraca. Cleveland Leader.

MODJESKA'S CAREER IS ENDED. mmA , jäte, f

TRIVATE. -LITE,

Mme. Modjeska, the famous actress, who died recently at her home near Los Angeles, Cal., was bou Helena Marie Benda, at Cracow, Poland, Oct. 12, 1S14. Her father was a musician of high standing, and two of her brothers have distinguished themselves on the stage. She was married at 10 and went on the stage a year later. Her success was marked. In 1S'J2 she became manager of a thVater at Czeruowce. Her next removal was to Warsaw, where her husband died, and where, a year afterward, she married Count Charles Bozci-l.-i Chlapowskl, a young Polish patriot of uoblo family. In 1875 they cam? to Amerh-a. es-aping the ignoble censorship of Itussla. At San Francisco, in 1ST'.), Modjeska made hor debut on the American Klage r.nd gave her first performance In the English tongue. In 1ST'.) Modjeska returned to Europe :u;d played in the principal cities of Poland, going thence to play over a year's continuous engagement in London. She del'ghted cosmopolitan audiences with her Marie Stuart, Rosalind, Helen, Thora, Magda, Camllie and Adrienne. About twenty-five years ago Modjeska and her literary husband, Count Bozenta, went with a colony of literary, musical and artistic young men and women to live on a co-operative ranch at Anahe m. In the vicinity of Los Angeles. In two years the colony broke up. The countess then resolved to go on the American stage and retrieve her heavy losses in the colony. By extraordinary work and study almost day and night for ten months the countess was able to play In English the roles she had formerly played In Polish and French. She adopted the name of Mine. Modjeska. The second year of her American success she built an architectural gem of a home for herself and husband among the mountains overlooking the scene of the colony that she and the count had worked and planned for. Mme. Modjeska had one son, Kalph Modjeska, a civil engineer of Chicago.

Might In Front. "Your wife has a swell new lid." MYes, that's the box her last year's

it the front of a giant glaclsr? Or does It mark a strait or gulf 45) miles wide which has been froze.? These are questions asked by the explorers. '11:1s remarkable ice cliff was discovered by the Koss expedition nearly seventy years ago. It was demonstrated to the Scott expedition, with which Lieutenant Shackleton made his first visit to the antarctic, that the barrier had movement, for a supply of provisions was carried on the ice a distance of 1,824 feet in the course of thirteen and one-half months. It was Captain Scott's opinion that It was a floating mass. 4 The presence of a volcano belching forth steam, well within the circle of eternal ice, is as much of an anomaly as the presenile of an extinct volcano covered with a snow cap at the equator. Mount Kilimanjaro, In Africa, and Mount Erebus, which Lieutenant Shackleton's expedition conquered, exhibit this marked antithesis. Mount Erebus, which was named for one of the vessels of the ltoss expedition, is one of a group of mountains, of which Mount Lister rises more than 2,000 feet higher than the volcano. One of the great problems of the polar explorer Is that of food transportation. This, says the Chicago Inter Ocean, from which this Illustration Is reproduced. Is made especially difficult In the North by the roughness of the ice. Storing food supplies along the route Is one of the ways in which an excess of weight is avoided. In the North, however, this method has its drawbacks, for polar bears enjoy nothing more than the edibles transported to their dwelling place from the white man's land. There Is a possibility that the explorer will not find his provisions when he Is in desperate need of them, not only from this cause, but through submersion of the Ice. With good gun, however, the Arctic traveler may make the bears pay for their meals by themselves becoming food. In the antarctic regions there is more certainty of finding one's cached food supplies, for the continent is practically barren of animal life and free from floating Ice. The musk ox, the bear and the walrus offer the arctic explorer opportunities for sport and for the renewal of his larder, but the penguin and the seal are the only forms of life ever found upon land within the antarctic circle. As these obtain their food from the water and spend most of their time upon it, they are not found at any distance in the interior. Ponies Gave All They Could. Usually dogs are employed to drag the sledges, with their burden of food, camp equipment and instruments. The smoother surface of the barrier in the Antarctic suggested to Lieutenant Shackleton that a motor on runners could be used to advantage In moving the sledges. Ills report, however. Indicates that the motor sledge was serviceable on the sea Ice, but not on the barrier Ice of the Interior. The experience gained on the Scott expedition also suggested that Siberian ponies would do better than dogs, because they can resist the severe cold, can drag a heavier load In proportion to the amount of food they require and are more palatable In case of need than dogs. These animals, in their native habitat, generally are left night and day without shelter, even at a temperature where mercury freezes. The manage to maintain life on the dried grass they find under the snow. Their native Siberian and Manchurian owners make fish nets from the animal's long winter hair, clothes from its skin and kumyss from the milk of the mares. Boiled horse meat Is one of their favorite dishes. Lieutenant Shackleton took eight of these ponies with him. Unfortunately, four of them died through feeding on sand before they had an opportunity to perform the service expected of, them, even to giving up their l:ves to furnish food for their drivers. Their names will go down in the history of Antarctic exploration, however, for the names of two of them were given to the depots which they helped to establish in more senses thfin one. There are other differences between the north and south polar regions which add to or detract from the pleasure of exploring them. The summer season in the northern zone is much warmer than that in the south, the average temperature being higher and the weather finer. In the north the hillsides facing the south are covered with verdure in varied tints, while the rocks are covered with beautiful mosses. The Antarctic continent, on

the contrary, Is almost devoid of vegetable life. The aurora borealis in thevH iiorto Is also more brilliant than in the south. It is believed by explorers

Tba Itosevelt Idea. A writer in the London Times sayi that Theodore Boosevelt is the hero,o! every schoolboy In the United Kingdom. No other American except Lincoln has ever been looked up to by so many youths and young men as an Inspiration and as a civic model as Mr. Itoosevelt. He has a genius fol Inspiring ieople to higher ideals, to cleaner methevls. His life story Is one of the greatest sermons that has been preached on the American continent since Lincoln was assassinated. Mr. Boosevelt started out with the stern resolve that, let come what would, whether he succeeded or failed, whether he made friends or enemies, he wemld keep his record clean; be would not take chances with his good name, he would part with everything else first; he would never gamble with his reputation. He has had numerous opportunities to make a great deal of money during his public career, through graft and all sorts of dishonorable schemes, by allying himself with crooked, unscrupulous politicians, but even his worst enemies can neveray of him that he tool; from Albany or the White House a dishonest dollar. He has always refused to be a party to any political jobbery, any underhand business. He has always fought in the oien, has kept the door of his heart wide open; Le has kept no secrets from the American people. He has always preferred to lose any position he was seeking.

Cancrefe Structure at Partland, 31 e Which I Well Spoken Of. Cement Age describes a concrete bungalow at Portland, Me., in which the exterior of the house is of concrete panels. The concrete panels are but one inch in thickness, and besides being remarkably light, are strong enough to bear an immense weight. The panels are re-enforeed with strips of steel wire, and in the tests applied to them they withstood the strain of three heavy men jumping up and down upon them and showed no sign of Injury. They are ornamented on the outskle with raised figures, scroll work, etc., from steel ceiling designs. The panels were modeled in wooden frames on a base consisting of a strip of steel ceiling, by means of which the decorative design was transferred to the cement, giving the panels an attractive appearance. The wooden frames were made of three-Inch stuff and the exterior of the concrete panel comes flush with the wood, while the recess In the side which forms the interior affords two inches of air space over the entire length and width of the panel, the ceoient concrete being one inch thick. This is accomplished by filling the Torms partially with sawdust or other material before the cement concrete is ?oured in, then turning the form over jo that the concrete can be pressed lgainst the steel ceiling design of th aiold. After sufficient water has been poured upon the composition to insure compactness and perfect settling In th mold, the sawdust filling is removed, the interior smoothed off nicely and the completed panel Is left to dry and harden.

The Breath. The breath of a healthy ierson hai no dor. This is equivalent to saylnj thatVo one whose breath has habitually a disagreeable odor is in absoluta health. Somewhere there is trouble, the presence of which, although not always the location of It, is betrayed bj fie expired air. A person with bud breath Is not always aware of his misfortune, or pep haps one should say the misfortune c) his friends, and it Is a kindness and 1 duty on the part of his family to tel. him. The trouble can almost always be bettered. If not entirely removed and It Is the duty of one so afflicted to place himself in the physician's hands for care. s The cause of a bad breath is öfter evident, but sometimes a very carefa' examination, weighing and rejecting one by one the different possibilities is necessary before the seat of the trouble can be determined Local troubles must be looked for and corrected. Ca Larrh of the nasal passages, or of ont or more of the cavities In the bones of the face communicating with tht nose, may cause a very foul breath; this can be relieved in many cases bj snuffing some antiseptic fluid well diluted, for the nasal mucous membrant is sensitive through each nostril several times a day. The nasal douche, s often recommended, should be used onlv i nder the direction ot a physician. The mouth is often the place of orl gin of the odor. Decayed teeth, ot the decomposition of food particles al lowed to remain between the teeth, ot receding gums with suppuration round the edges of the teeth, may one or al! affect the breath unpleasantly. Tht regular use of the tooth-brush with an antiseptic mouth wash will usually remedy this. Tnere may be an accumulation of 'fur"at the back of the mouth, which gives an odor to the breath; this should be removed with a spoon or the ring In one of the handles of a pair of scissors. The tonsils may have malodorous accumulations of secretion iu their pits. . ' - - Trouble In any pH of the digestiv tract Is very likely ro declare itself it the breath. Constipation, especially, U so betrayed. ' It is well known tha' borne foods, onions, for example, wli went the breath, but it is not so gener ally appreciated that the eating of large amount of meat will often give t. reculiarly disagreeable quality to the bicath. The emotions may have their effect, too, and the Ill-tempered person or the worrier is thus an offeuse in more ways than one. There Is seldom any excuse for permanent bad breath, for the physician can almost always discover the cause. Death of Noted Musician. Angelo Tessarln, an eccentric musician of Venice, died forgotten and poor at Marseilles a few days ago, aged 73, the New York' Sun says. He was one of the best known and most popular musicians in Venice fifty years ago. He was celebrated as a pianist and composer. Still he lived and died In poverty, and his creditors were so numerous and exacting that In his old age, when he was convinced that he could never pay them, he left Venice and spent his last days abroad. Tessarln was greatly attached to hl3 native city and strove hard to enl his days there. He Invariably carried an umbrella, which served to keep his creditors at bay ; in fact, whenever he met one of them he opened it and hid his face and thus passed on unrecognized. After his wife died and he grew old a. waiter of the Cafe Florian who had known him in better days offered him hospitality at his house, and as Tessarln could not pay him he played for the waiter during meals. When the" waiter died Tessarln left Venice nnd was forgotten until his death. His dying request was that a tablet should be placed on his grave with the words, "He deserved a better fate."
