Vanderbilt, Jr., is taking cooking lessons. Now let the hired girl beware. Venezuelan soldiers seem to think that foot-racing^is the greatest of sol dierly accomplishments. President Loubet’s life has been threatened. The people of France are becoming restless again. By the way. just ask your wife what the phrase, "the differential sugar," means, Of course you know, yourself. If the Prince of Wales comes we can promise him that the menus will always be presented in our choicest French. If a successful airship ever be de vised it will be worth far more than the $250,000 Sir Hiram .Maxim offers to pay for it The ordinary wedding is closed with s ring on; but that telephonic matri monial alliance down in Kentucky end ed with a ring off. King Edward belongs to twenty clubs—and probably nothing disagree able would be done even if he should not pay his dues. , Belgian socialists who want the "one man one vote” plan evidently intend to do the voting for their wives, as we do in this country. William Waldorf Astoria has gtven $100,000 to an English university, but when last heard from he was still waiting for that title. And the greatest victory that Wis consin Grand Army veteran ever won was in securing three kisses without having to pay for them. Kubelik and Paderewski no sooner wind up their season than it is an nounced that the seventeen-year lo custs are headed this way. Some people are not bothering so much about the price of meat since the cost of cigarettes is being reduced. All kinds of living are not dear. Kansas City has a bribery scandal. It seems to be a mere matter of discov ering the briber in order to put all American cities on the same footing. During the year 1901 nearly half a million cases of champagne were im ported into the United States. It will be remembered as an extra dry year. A man with a live body and a dead mind has been found in Chicago, but nobody is reported missing from the railway station bureau of information. — The habit of talking back at the preacher during the delivery of his sermon i3 becoming so common as to make church services unusually attrac tive. Having seen a few portraits of King T^eopold we shall not be surprised at anything the people who see the origi nal every day may take a notion to do him. Mr. Morgan is getting perilously near that place on the public stage where Alexander posed while he wept because he had no more worlds to conquer. It has been brought out in a Connec ticut divorce suit that the man was drunk twice a day for 364 days in suc cession. Why he missed on the 365th Is not explained. Carnegie advises young men not to strive to obtain more than a compe tence. He will not have to plead very hard with the majority of them to get their consent. An Illinois girl wrote her name and address on an egg and put it in a crate with others to bi shipped east. She is still waiting for a matrimonial proposition to hatch out. The prospect of having American college yells at Oxford seems to dis woman and proved that though mar riage may be a lottery there are no blanks for the man with a will. The originator of the comic valen tine has just died at the age of ninety. He lived in Philadelphia and was therefore very Blow about facing the ghosts of his numberless victims. Since a Waukegan judge has decid ed that egg money is the legitimate perquisite of a farmer’s wife, there will be a chance for soma women to buy new dreOBes oftener than once in five years. Paris has prevented t- Pierpont Morgan from carrying off oae pair of iron doors, but the city ought to be careful how It treats our covetous mil lionaire. He may yet transfer tho Latin Quarter to the Bowery, New York, or Clark street, Chicago. People who are in the habit of sell ing their old books to the junk men should keep the fact in mind that an old volume bearing the date 1567 brought $1,100 in New York recently. There was nothing valuable about tho book but its age. TO CHEAPEN SUGAR. HOW TARIFF CONCESSIONS MIGHT HELP THE CONSUMER. While Reducing the Duty on Cuba-* Raw Product the Duty on Reflned Sugar Should be Correspondingly Lswe. ed — Prospective Trust Profits If the friends of the “Cuban Relief” proposition are really desirous of doing something for the American consumer while “relieving” the Cuban producer, they can accomplish this result by adopting the plan submitted by Repre sentative Morris of Minnesota. This plan, briefly stated, provides that the tariif reduction on raw sugar shall also apply to reflned sugar. The bill as re ported from the ways and means com mittee makes a reduction of 20 per cent in the duty on raw sugar, but leaves the duty on refined sugar as it is now. It cheapens the cost of raw sugar to the refinerB to the extent of the tariff reduction, without cheap ening the market price of the refined product. That is what Mr. Havemeyer meant when a few weeks ago he an nounced that the selling price of re fined sugar would not be in the least degree affected by the reduction, or even the removal, of the duty on raw sugar. He knew what he was talking about. He knew that the greatest boon that a Republican congress could possibly confer upon the sugar tru.'t would be to cheapen raw sugar by means of tariff reduction, while re taining the full tariff on refined sugar. He knew that almost the entire bulk of money thus lost to the United States treasury would, in such an event, find its way into the sugar trust treasury. There is not a single Republican in congress or out of congress whose bowels of compassion yearn for suf fering Cuba who does not know that in cutting down the tariff on raw sug ar and leaving intact the duty on re fined 3ugar he assists in swelling the profits of the sugar trust by many mil lions of dollars. There might be some excuse for a Republican at either end of P««nsylvania avenue who did not know, or did not believe, that the 450, 000 tons of sugar held on the wharves in Cuba has long since passed out of the hands of the planters who raised it and into the hands of the sugar trust, and hence that the pro posed ‘‘relief’ measure would prove a hollow mockery to the original pro ducers of that sugar. The sugar trust has covered its tracks so skillfully that even Governor Wood might be par doned for his inability to find the trail and for publicly asserting that practi cally all of the held-up sugar is still owned by the parties who raised it. Ignorance and excessive credulity might possibly reach these extremes, but that is the limit. To vote for or to approve of a scheme of tariff reduction that withdraws protection from do mestic producers and adds millions to the already swollen gains of the sugar trust by leaving that concern in the full enjoyment of a tariff protected profit margin would be bad economics, bad statesmanship, bad politics. We cannot believe that the Republican party will be made to stand for a blun der so atrocious as to amount to a crime. The American Economist, speaking for the principle and policy of protec tion, deprecates as ill-advised and un called for the entire scheme of tariff reduction for the benefit of aliens and to the injury of our own producers, but, if any scheme of the kind shall unfortunately prevail, it earnestly hopes that through the retention cf the differential on the finished produit while reducing the duty on the crude material it will not take the shape jf a big prize package for the sugar trust. Not Much Relief. The cut in duty, making it apply so that but 80 per cent of the lawful rate shall be collected on Cuban products, will not give Cuban sugar planters much relief. They will have to sell their raw sugar to the sugar trust, which owns the only refineries, and the trust will, of course, see that they get practically nothing of the advan tage which the lowered rate is sup posed to give them. But if congress would adopt the Tawney plan of col lecting the full duty and giving the rebate to the planters direct, the re lief would be sure and they would get all of it. In that case perhaps the 20 per cent proposed would be enough. But with the direct cut the refineries would get the benefits up to a point where it would be scandalous to refuse to divide with the sugar growers.— Salt Lake City Tribune. Fre*-Tra<le In Cattle. The Philadelphia Record, in dealing with the meat trust question, says: "It is not pretended, however, by the most sanguine champions of free trade that mere repeal of the meat duties would destroy this rapacious combination against the American people.” Nevertheless, the Record thinks that we should begin by repealing the tariff “behind which the trust has in trenched itself with the false pretense that the duties on meats are imposed solely to protect American farmers,” But is it on false pretense that duties on meats are imposed to protect American farmers. Does not the Record give away its whole contention in this regard when it urges the repeal of the tariff on live animals so that cattle can De imported tree ot duty from Mexico and Canada, and thus cheapen the cost of meat to American consumers? How shall the cost of meat be cheapened to the consumer unless the price of the American farm er’s cattle be first cheapened? Free trade !n cattle would undoubtedly lower the prlee paid for American beeves, but it would not necessarily lower the retail price of meat. Trusts know how to get over international boundary lines. Friends and Enemies In Accord. For the first time in nearly five years the Republican party represen tatives in Congress have been called upon to vote on the question, Shall the Dingley tariff be sustained? In order to secure an affirmative answer to this question these Republicans have been compelled to rely upon the assistance of their political adver saries. With the aid of free-trade Democratic votes these Republicans have succeeded in attacking and un dermining the principle and policy of protection to American labor and in dustry. Is not this a strange position of affairs, that a Republican measure should be assailed by its friends and its assassination accomplished by the aid of its enemies? It is done under the plea that we owe something to Cuba. A monstrous debt, indeed, that requires such payment! -—. - -.— Bmi Way of Help. The Republicans in the House who favor relief for Cuba and also believe in protection, have, it appears, laid down their ultimatum. They stand by the principle of the Tawney amend ment, They oppose any reduction in the sugar tariff, but will help the actual planters by granting them a stated rebate. This takes the matter out of the hands of the sugar trust, and gives whatever is to be conceded direct to the producer of the sugar. It is undoubted that this is the best way of help, and it should carry, if there is to be any concession at all. But Cuba, from all accounts, is in bet ter industrial and financial condition right now than ever she was in all her history.—Salt Lake City Tribune. Will tie Get In. Ilnmp and Al'.T Malt Be Bad Farmers. Farmers are getting pretty good prices for their products. But they are paying good prices for their neces sities. Many of them think the bal ance of prosperity is against them.— Defiance Crescent. The Crescent must have in mind either mighty poor farms or mighty poor farmers. Probably they are what is known as "porch” farmers. As a matter of fact every one knows there is not a particle of ground for such a remark as the above. The Crescent is falling into its old habits contract ed in the days when it was yelling for free silver and Bryan.—Bryan (Ohio) Press. No Sentiment In Trade. There is no sentiment in trade, and foreigners do not buy of us simply be cause we buy of them. That is amply demonstrated by our trade with South America. Brazil imports over $100, 000.000 worth and the United States supplies about 10 per cent of those imports. The United States buys from Brazil five times as much as it sells to that country, and it carries on a one-sided trade of that kind with other South American countries— Philadelphia Press. Womanly Virtues. First, one must understand that what attracts men and what they like are not always the same thing. A man is often attracted by a be witching smile, but a good-tempered woman in the end ha3 the greatest hold on him and wins his respect. It is a mistake to think that in these days men prefer brainless, silly wo men, says the Buffalo Times. On the contrary, they like those who have bright, quick brains, who take an interest in things around them and can talk sensibly on subjects in which they themselves are interested, though if the women possess superior knowl edge on any one topic they will do well to keep that fact in the background and play the part of interested listen ers. Irreverent women are an abomina tion to men. Whatever may be their own religious opinions, if they have any, at any rate they like to feel that women cling to the faith which tJhey once learned at their mother’s knee. Rlghtrna*(?) In<l1j*natton. When King Edward visited Burton he attended divine service at Range more church. An old lady, close upon 80 years of age, who lived many miles away, thought she w'ould like to see the king, and presented herself at the church, but was greatly disappointed on being told that the church was already filled, and became highly in dignant. ’’Look here!” said the old lady, re proachfully, to one of the clergy, ‘ I ain’t been to 'oly worship for close on sixty years, and now, when I ’obbles all this way to see the king, I ain’t ; admitted. Bah! I'll give up being re- ' ligious.”—Birmingham Post. TI1E SUNDAY SCHOOL. LESSON VII., MAY 18; ACTS 13:1-12 —THE EARLY MISSIONARIES. Golden Text—”Oo Ye Therefore and Tench All Nations" — Matthew 88:19— Holy Ghost Instruct* the First Foreign Missionaries to Go Forth. L A Missionary Church.—Vs. 1, 2 "Now there were ... at Antioch." On Antioch, see Lesson V. “Prophets.” These were men of insight and foresight, with minds especially susceptible to di vine Influences. "Teachers.” Instructors in truth anil duty; those who studied Clod's Word and his providence, and the nature of men, and instructed the church. The difference is something like that be tween preachers and teachers, evangel lists and more permanent pastors, poets and logicians. "Barnabas. Simeon, Lucius, Manaen and Saul." Mentioned last as the latest comer, perhaps the youngest, and as Luke wns writing probably what Paul himself told him. he would naturally place himself last. "As they ministered to the Lord." They^ were giving themselves up to special meetings for religious services, seeking the higher life and a fuller knowledge of duty. “And fasted," Fast ing would seem to have its basis in a grief over sin so deep and intense that ail desire for focal is taken away; or such a strong desire for holiness, for the prog ress of God's work, for the removal of ail that hinders it. that we forget to eat. Therefore it implies that we are doing that which fasting expresses. II. The First Foreign Missionaries.— Vs. 2, 3. “The Holy Ghost said." In an swer to their prayers, and to their spirit of service. "Separate me." i. e.. set apart for this special work. "For the work whereunto I have called them." Paul was called definitely at the time of his con version, Barnabas perhaps In a more general way. by fitness, by providence, by an inward call, by spiritual longing. Finding Our Mission. God has called each of us to some special work in his kingdom. It is of the first importance that we find out what that work is, and enter upon our Father's business We can find out In the same way that Paul and Barnabas did; The Holy Spirit will teach us. The promise is as true to us as to them. III. Their First Mission Field. Tne Contest for a Soul.—Vs 4-11. "Sent forth by the Holy Ghost,” as related above. Luke keeps before our minds the fact that the origin of the missionary work was the Holy Spirit. The disciples be fore had been urged to go by persecu tion; now they went spontaneously under the influence of the Spirit. "Departed” (when down from the higher land to the sea) “unto Seleueia.” The seaport of Antioch, sixteen miles away down the river Orontes. ”Sailed to Cyprus.” A voyage of eighty to one hundred miles “They preached the word of God.” God's message of love and salvation through Jesus the Christ. "In the syna gogues.” As was their invarialde custom to do at first. For the Jews were most easily reached, since they believed the Bible and expected the Messiah. "And they had also John." John Mark, author of the Gospel according to Mark, cousin of Barnabas, and son of Mary of Jeru salem (Acts 12: 12. 23). "To their minis ter." For their assistant or attendant. "L’nto Paphos.” Now Baffo, at the west ern end of the island. "Deputy.” Greek, "proconsul.” that Is. the governor of a province under the sen ate at Rome. “A prudent man.” R. V.. "a man of understanding.” of practical ability, of good common sense and judg ment. "Called for Barnabas and Saul." This shows his sound mind. He would search wherever there was hope of more light. “But Elymas.” Not necessnrily a prop er name. It Is simply AramaL for Ma glan. magician, sorcerer. "Withstood them.” opposed them, because he saw that his influence and power and the emoluments of his plaee were gone if Sergius Paulus accepted the gospel. "Saul (who also Is called Paul)).” This con nects the two names with the same man. In his story of his life among the Jews he is rolled by his Jewish name Saul. Now that he Is beginning his labors among the Roman Gentiles, his Roman name is used from this time on. "Set his eyes” to fix the eyes intently upon. “Full of all subtility.” Deceit, guile, underhandedness. “And all mischief." spoken of a man who does evil easily, adroitly, naturally: hence, tinscrupulous ness. laziness, and the evil that comes from wanting gains unearned. "Child of the devil." And like his father. He had been adopted by Satan by his own choice: an immense fail from his child name Bar-Jesus. son of Jesus, or Joshua. "The hand of the Lord.” not of Paul. Paul announced the fact, but did not pro duce it. Hand is the Instrument by which a work is performed. "And thou shalt he blind, not seeing the sun." This phrase indicates total blindness. "For a season.” "Cntil the time,” when he should cease his opposition, and God sees fit to restore his sight. God punishes only so much as Is necessary. The blindness was doubtless like that of St Paul him self, to give him an opportunity to come into spiritual light. He could think, but he could do no harm while he was blind. IV7. The First Convert (so far as the history relates).—V. 12. "Then the dep uty. when he saw what was done, be lieved." The miracle was not his only reason for believing. The apostles had been teaching and preaching, and this miracle completed the evidence and turn ed the scale. “Believed.” Became a dis ciple of Christ. The victory was won. "Being astonished at the doctrine (the teaching) of the Lord,” both at the man ner of teaching, thus confirmed hy mir acle. and at what was taught about the Lord. rrncucai. I nr j nne who attempts to do good, must ex port opposition, false charges, and every hindrance which the Had interposes when the Good interferes with its gains. As Paul and Elymas. the Holy Spirit and Satan, contended for the soul of Sergius so there Is n contest for all our souls. Satan uses bad men as tempters, our ap petites and passions, our ambitions and desires, as means of temptation to draw us Into evil. The Holy Spirit is URing good men. and the gospel, and the pow er of Jesus I'hrist, God's providences, and a multitude of influences to bring us to goodness and heaven. The punishment of sin is often of the nature of the sin: blindness comes to the spirtually blind The punishment Is mingled with mercy; it is to lead them to repentance, to make them realize their blindness, and seek some one to guide them to the Light of the world. Public Garden* In Philadelphia. In Philadelphia there are 638 gar dens, operating on what were formerly vacant lots, by people who used to be unable to earn their own living. Five years ago the Philadelphia Vacant Lot Association was organized. Twenty seven acres, all together, were secured, and 100 gardens started. The officers of the society found a big demand for the lots by the poor people, and they have gradually increased their hold ings until now over 600 gardens are is operation. The first year products to the value of $6,000 were raised. 1 I ADVICE GIVEN BT SCOTCH PARSON — Minuter Sat Twenty Drinks m Day as the Limit of Moderation. A Scotch parson once preached a long sermon against dram drinking, a vice very prevalent Cn his parish, and from which report said he was not himself wholly exempt. "Whatever ye do, brethren.” said he, "do it in moderation, and, aboon all, be moderate in dram-drinking. When you get up, Indeed, ye may tak a dram, and anither just before breakfast, and perhaps anither after; but dinna be always dram-drinking. “If ye are out In the morn, ye may just brace yerself up with anither dram, and perhaps take anither be fore luncheon, and some, I fear, tak ane after, which is no so very blam able, but dlnna be always dram-dram lng away. “Naebody can scruple for one just afore dinner, and when the desert is brought In, an’ after it’s ta’en away; and, perhaps ane, or it may be twa, In the course of the afternoon, just to keep ye fra’ drowsing and snoozling; but dlnna be always dram-dram-dram ing. "Afore tea, and after tea. and be tween tea and supper, and before and after supper. Is no more than right and good; but let me caution ye, brethren, not to be always dram-dram ing. "Just when ye start for bed, and when ye're ready to pop into't. and perhaps when you wake in the night, to take a dram or twa is no more than a Christian man may lawfully do; I but, brethren, let me caution you not to drink more than I've mentioned, or may be ye may pass the bounds of moderation!”—Mirror. NO COURTESY IN STREET CARS N*w York Paper Telle of * Somewhat Pathetic Happening. His face was very white and tired and the deep lines in it showed plainly that he was either in the clutch of a new illness or was only just recover ing from an old one. He had found a seat in a corner of one of the cars on the Sixth avenue elevated. A woman with a baby and a child five or six years old entered. No one offered them a seat; the sick man looked at! the woman and the babies, and it was evident he was engaged in a great wrestling match with his sense of courtsey. Presently his sense of courtesy won. The woman scarcely acknowledged his act. She took the baby in her lap and the child leaned against her knees. The man hung limp from an opposite strap. At Fif tieth street a passenger left the seat next to the woman and two babies. The sick man started for it anxiously, but before he had reached it the wo man had lifted the child that had been! leaning against her knee into the seat. The sick man groped feebly for his strap. Then the seat next to the older child became vacant. Again the man started for it. but he was weaker in the knees now, and before he had really obtained his balance the baby was occupying the seat. An over grown office boy, hanging from a neighboring strap swung himself out' of line, and in a considerably loud voice, shouted to the sick man. "That's' what you get!”—New York Post. FOUND ADVICE WAS EXPENSIVE The lnplea«ant Kjprrienee of a monlonn legislator. There is much amusement in Dres den Parliamentary circles over a little joke which was played on one of tbei oldest members. The gentleman in question, although somewhat miserly, is very popular. Recently he injured Ids finger, and, not caring to consult his own doctor, sought the advice of a brother member, an M. D., who' told him what to do. On the following day, however, the old gentleman received a bill of 10 shillings from the doctor for medical attendance. In his perplexity he con fided in another colleague—a lawyer this time—who pointed out his liability and advised him to pay the bill. The aged member’s astonishment can best be imagined when he received later the lawyer’s claim for 10 shill ings for “advice given.” He indig nantly complained to a third member of this unbrotherly treatment, but this third gentleman, entering into the joke, brought the matter before the committee which decides personal dif ferences of the members. Here the ease turned against the accuser, and he was impeached for "re fusing to acknowledge justified claims,” and gravely sentenced to—buy a case of champagne. The expensive finger is now quite well. Paris Prohibits Placards. In Paris it was usual at every gen eral election to see all the public build ings disfigured by the enormous quan tity of election addresses and other placards posted upon them. At the time of the Boulanger incidents bill posters would follow In rapid succes sion and stick bill upon bill until there was not mo$e than one inch of paper. The extremely ugly effect of such placards and the damage done by scraping down the posters after the electoral battle Induced the chamber to make a law prohibiting the posting up of placards on what was termed' artistic monuments.—Paris Messenger. Many Partlei In Frunce. There is no lack of parties in France. In the pending elections which will take place soon, there are candidates representing no less than twenty-two parties in Paris alone, the leading ones being the Nationalist, Conservative, Plcblocitary, Royalist, Bonapartlst, Republic, Liberal Collectivist, Progres sive, Radical, Radical Socialist and five different stripes of Socialists. Then there are specialised parties, such as Anti-Semites and Anarchists of varied hues. SURGICAL OPERATIONS How Mrs. Bruce, a Noted Opera Sineer, Escaped an Operation.
