Thebe are half a million men idle in Germany, and this will result in increased emigration. ——— Thebe is no cure for anarchy. It is a hopeless form of insanity and pre vention must be relied on to preserve society from its evils. The persistent prosperity which has penetrated to every nook and corner of the United States is the most discouraging features of the democratic outlook. The chaplains of both the Senate and the House of Representatives are blind. There are phases of life in congress that to pray for their reform would make a sensation. The anarchist speakers are announcing that anarchy cannot be stamped out. Perhaps not. We cannot obliterate an abstraction but anarchists can be put out. This is the season of the year when a man’s wife is tempted to combine a little lesson in economy with her Christmas gift and present him a bargain counter box of cigars. The Isthmian Canal Commission has reported: the Hay-Pauncefote treaty has been ratified; Senator Morgan has reintroduced his canal bill. The time has come for Uncle Samuel to begin digging. A bepbesentative Tennessee newspaper says: “Repeal the law which gives the navy prize money.’’ That paper is evidently in need of a good Washington correspondent. The law was repealed by the fifty-sixth congress. Mr. Roosevelt says in the case of Cuba reciprocity is imperatively demanded by “weighty reasons of morality and national interest.” Sugar stands in the way, but Harrison and McKinley gave us free sugar and the duty was restored by the Dingley bill only to make good a deficiency created by a democratic administration. It may be expected that the employe who performs his work with the full knowledge that only the excellence of his performance will insure his continued employment will do more conscientious, painstaking work than the man who knows that regardless of his methods his “pull” will insure his retention in office. Those people who expected the President to indulge demagogism in handling the subject of “trusts” are disappointed and yet what would be more wise than the President’s recommendations, first make public the affairs of these great corporations that all may judge their evils and then proceed intelligently to their correction.

Long Hair “ About a year ago my hair was coming out very fast, so I bought a bottle of Ayer’s Hair Vigor. It stopped the falling and made my hair grow very rapidly, until now it is 45 inches in length.”—Mrs. A. Boydston, Atchison, Kans. There’s another hunger than that of the stomach.

A DISTINGUISHED French Engineer predicts that in ten years coal mining will not pay. There is a strong tendency toward liquid fuel with petroleum as the chief ingredient. Scientists and inventors are giving it much attention. The statement in the President’s message that “The men who seek gains not by genuine work of head or hands but by gambling in any form are always a menace not only to themselves but to others,” is not a flattering tribute to the gentlemen who do business in Wall Street.

A Kentuckian’s View.

“I would like to know how many shots the Indiana people think it takes to kill a Kentuckian,” remarked a resident of the PennyrHe to a Journal man after having read a contemporary’s say on thearrest of Berry Howard, as one of the conspirators. “First,” said he, “it was Holland Whitaker; then Henry Youtsey; then Dave Powers; then Jim Howard and along somewhere on the line comes in Governor Taylor and secretary of State Finley. Now the Democrat, like many of the passion blinded yellow journals of the blue grass and moonshine state, sebs only the Democratic side of the question, at long range, and actually knows more about it than men who were on the scene. What do I f,hink about it? Well it was a very deplorable affair, but down in Kentucky they haug a horse thief. Now on the same line, where does the wrong come in shooting a thief of a governor’s chair. “Taylor was elected by 3,865 majority on the face of the returns, but the Goebel machine had the counting and the deciding of the contest. Goebel had worked for years to get the affair in the condition to put him in the governor’s chair and said often during his campaign, from the stump, ‘oh just let them vote,’ meaning the republi cans. ‘We have the counting to do and they did. I happen to be personally acquainted with Governor Taylor, having known him from my cbildhood. Ho was a political foeman worthy arty s' eel, but a cleaner man I never knew; a self made man and far ! more suitable to have been governor, ] than Goeble. “I am not acquainted with Berry j Howard, that among the I men of bis county the spirit, to hide i and fire on an enemy does not exist j True be was arrested, but he wanted to bo. Hal he so desired ho could' have called to his aid thousands who ; could have defied the state militia for years. But Mr. Howard said he was ready to stand trial no.v than prejudice was dying out, and that most of the SIOO,OOO appropriated by a Democratic legislature to convict, just so somebody was cun' ioic.!, h.,w>been spent. j “VPho in my opinion killed Goebie? I only wish I knew, but I, and many more Kentuckians, who have been life long dyed in the wool, rebel Dem i ocrats, believe that if-Jack Ohinti 1 would tell what he knows, more light would be Jhrown on the killing. “Honest men of all parties commend the action of both Gov. Mount and i Governor Durbin in refusing to rec-' ognixe the requisitions for Gov. Taylor. The chances are nintey nine to one that he would never be allowed to come to trial, were he taken back there. “It’s very strange how much some people can learn over a grape vine 1 telegraph. 1 "You can’t convince men wai know Taylor to believe that he na.i anything to do with the killing, but strange to say, men who would rea h for their sky piece and hot foot it out of town at even a glimpse of a Ken tncky mountaineer, knows jnst exact ly how, when, where and by whom it was done.- This northern democratic hot air is very nauseating.” The gentleman declined' to be inter viewed further, and > soothing his wratb with a chaw of long green bade us adieu. i

Primitive chronology.

The. moat primitive method In chronology is that which enables nmu to 0.-lenr himself In the worldof time by associating particular lunations with vicissitudes of weather, with seasonal aspects of vegetation and with the constantly changing sights and sounds of the animal world. In the calendar of the Crees, for example, we find such designations as “duck month/’ “frog moon,” “leaf moon,” “berries ripe month,” “buffalo ' rutting moon,” “leaves entirely changed,” “leaves In the trees,” “fish catching moon.” “moon that strikes the earth cold” “coldest moon,” “Ice* thawing moon” and “eagles seen moon.” So in the calendars of Central America and Mexico the months are ngmed variously after the arrival of birds, the blossoinlng of flowers, the blowing of winds, the return of mosquitoes and the appearance of fishes. The Greeks constantly used the movements of birds to mark the seasons. The arrival of the swallow and kite was thus noted. Hesiod tells us how the cry of the crane signaled the departure of winter, while the setting of the Pleiades gave notice to the plowman when to begin his work.

Sleeping and Waking.

“The ability to wake at a given hour by forming a resolution to do so before going to sleep,” said a physician affafi after dinner discussion a few daysago, “Involves a problem that scientists do not pretend to have definitely solved. Their theory, however, is certainly plausible. A great many acts of life, as we all know, are only half voluntary. A man will begin whittling a stick and continue while his mind is engrossed upon something else. It is the same with walking. In other words, the action is started by volition and then keeps on going, like au engine. “It is known also that the will persists to a certain extent In what we call unconsciousness, both from anaesthetics and during sleep. How far that persistence extends is an open question, but It is reasonable to assume that most of us can set an Impulse on the principle that an alarm clock Is set, and the half voluntary mechanism of the brain carries it along without further attention. But, as I said before, It is only a theory. To tell the truth, our 1 real knowledge of such things is startlingly slight.”—New Orleans Times-Democrat.

Modern Cave Dwellers.

Cave dwellers, or, to be exact, earth Or rock dwellers, are not yet extinct. A traveler who visited the prehistoric cave dwellings near Halberstadt, in the Harz mountains, found in the nearby village of Langenstein ten caves liewn in the rock and occupied by 40 persons. This little settlement Is built on the slope of a rocky hill near the village. The fronts of the dwellings were made by cutting a vertical face In the rock. Each “house” has a door and one window. The first house was constructed only 40 years ago by a young married couple >vho' were too poor to pay their rent in the village. The rock houses are warm in winter and cool In summer. They are quite healthful, according to the testimony of their Inhabitants, whose stout limbs and red cheeks vouch for the truth of their statements.

mat cough Hangs or You have used all sorts of cough remedies but it does not yield; it is too deep seated. It may wear itself out in time, but it is more liable to produce ia grippe, pneumonia or a serious throat affection. You need something that will give you strength and build up the body. scon’s EMULSION will do this when everything , else fails. There is no doubt about it It nourishes, : strengthens, builds up and makes the body strong and : healthy, not only to throw off this hard cough, but to fortify the system against ; further attacks. If you are run down or emaciated you should certainly take this nourishing food medicine. YoHt.

Got a second Donation.

A charming little story is told of an encounter between the Emperor Alexander of Russia and a quick wltted young girl. During the occupation of Paris the Emperor Alexander was present at the anniversary of one of the hospitals. Plates for contributions were passed by the patronesses, of the institution to the visitors of the day, and a particularly pretty girl presented her plate for royalty’s attention. The emperor dropped a handful of gold on the plate, saying to the young girl as he did so, “This is for beautiful bright eyes.” The pretty maid courtesled low and again presented her plate to the generous donor. “What, more?” asked the emperor with a smile. “Yes, sire,” was the reply, given with eyes demurely cast down and mouth Well under control, “now I would like something for the poor.” The second handful was even more liberal than the flrst, and the emperor evidently felt that his speech had been well met and matched, as he smiled after the pretty girl, who went her way rejoicing to the next visitor.— Youth’s Companion.

A Race For a Wife.

In Laplaad the crime which is punJshed most severely next to murder Is tEemarrylng of a girl against the express wishes of her parents. When a suitor makes his appearancehe eays nothing to the girl, nor does she often know who he Is, but her parents inform her that her hand lias been applied for. Then on a day appointed the girl, her parents and friends meet together and sit opposite to one another, so that they can view each other’s face and converse freely. When the feast is over, the company repairto an open space, where “the race for n wife” Is to be run. The usual distance Is about a quarter of a mile, and the girl Is placed a third of the distance in advance of the starting point. If she be fleet of foot and does not care for her suitor, she can easily reach the goal first, and If she accomplishes this he may uover trouble her again. If, on the oth -r b ml, she wishes to have him for a husband, she has only to lag In her flight hdu so allow bim to overtake her. If she be particularly struck with him nnd would signify to him that his love Is returned, she can run a short distance, then stop and turn and invite him with open arms.

The Designer.

Prominent among the many remarkably attractive ’ features which appear in The Designer for January is: “In Holiday Masque,” illustrating and describing numerous unique and artistic fancy costumes for adults and young folks. In another article “Evening Waists” are most charmingly set forth, and there is besides an alluring display of Winter fashiona and millinery, Literary contributions having special bearing on the New Year are: “A Watch Party,” “A Twelfth Nig lit Dinner,” and “Holidays at the White House,” There are two short stories, “The Frolic at Bassett’s” and “Found in the Ice Hills,'’ and a parlor comedy, “A Glimpse of Bohemia.’* “Decorative Darning” and directijns and illustrations for knitted mittens, bootees and golf stockings offer pleasant and useful employment for winterevenings. “Points on-Dressmaking,** “For Health and Beauty.” ‘ ILvote Notes,” “Selections for the Reeiti tiouis ,* ‘‘Etiquette Hints,’’ Lore” and “Cookery Recipes’* arj some of the other helpful articles in. this exceedingly interesting mirubf A few words of well deserved prai.se should be spoken of The Designer's New Year cover, which pictures a pretty girl in a dainty scarlet clonk and broad-brimmed hat against a background of pine boughs, the entire conception being in excellent taste.

Some Rapid Readers.

Perhaps the fastest reader the world ever knew was Gladstone. He could read and digest a novel of 50,000 wards, a scientific work as large or larger, a political treatise or' a history as he turned them over. His eye and mind seemed to photograph with the rapidity of an instantaneous camera. His eye was the lens, his mind the sensitive plate. In his reading he was omnivorous to the last degree. The most rapid reader we ever had in this country is John G. Carlisle, former senator from Kentucky, speaker of the house, secretary of the treasury and now legal representative of a giant trust, with headquarters in New York. Joe Blackburn, the most popular man in Kentucky, says that Carlisle is the most remarkable man he ever saw; that he can tell the contents of a book without looking at It, and give the synopsis of an argument on being told the name of the author.

In Retreat. Down from the upper air floated the strains of music, yet Neptune was visibly annoyed. “What’s gnawing at thy vitals, sire ?” asked the mermaid. “I wish in the name of Orpheus,” said the sea king, “that boating parties could sing something else beside ‘A Life on the Ocean Wave!’ ” And forthwith hte crawled into a cave and pulled the cave in after him.—-New York Marine Journal. A Question of Need. “What have you done with all the money I gave you for campaign purposes ?” asked Senator Sorghum. “I have put it where it was needed,” answered the agent. “That’s what I thought,” was the disconsolate answer. “Before I can rely on getting it all placed I suppose I’ve got to wait until you get more than you need.”—
