HAS THE CSISIS COME?
Cam Anybaiy Vow Foresee What is to.
Be the Emd?
The United States is naturally disin
clined to take part in old-world conflicts,
but in the sudden emergency that has
arisen in China, there has been nothing
else to do than to act with others in de
fense of our own.
It seems of those singular incidents
where clashing interests are hushed in
the presence of an overwhelming dan
ger, so far-reaching as to appall the
stoutest heart that pauses to think of
what may happen next
A singular people. A people who
have resisted the advances of every na
tion, who has ever tried to deal with
them. A nation, a horde of humanity
who could, by mere force of numbers
effect revolutions not calculated on be
fore. This horde of people are now to be
held in check by the chief powers of the
world, acting in concert for the time
being.
The danger is to all. The trouble will
be to all.
OurSenator Davis of Minnesota, chair
man of the senate committee on foreign
affairs, is supposed to bo as well versed
in Chinese affairs as any one in this
country. He says:
"No man can tell what will come out
of the present situation in China. I
shall be agreeably disappointed if the
immediate consequence does not result
in complications which it will take years
to straighten out. Moreover, genera
tions to come may find that in awaken
ing China, the western world has brought
into existence a giant which will insist
upon taking part in affairs at inoppor
tune moments.
''That the powers are in a dilemma
which they would have been glad to
avoid, may be taken for granted. It
seems inevitable that China will be par
titioned. Certainly the acting empress
will be dethroned. This cannot be done
without a war, which will probably re
peat itself many times.
"It must be remembered, too, that in
China lives fully one-fourth of the world's
population. The people there have a
civilization of a certain sort that was in
existence when tho wolf was suckling
Romulus. Until now the newer civiliza
tion has made no impression upon China.
If we force upon the yellow race our
methods and in China they are accepted
as readily as they have been in Japan,
we will create a force which will be sure
to work a great influence upon the fu
ture history of the world. I look upon
the present crisis as more important
than any that has arisen since our own
civil war."
Senator Lodge, one of the members
of the Foreign Relations committee of
the United States senate, in a speech at
Boston Saturday, said:
"The events that are going on today
in China are big with future results. All
the great nations of the world are gath
ered there. One great nation is plann
ing to seize that empire and close it to
the rest of tho world. That, in our own
interests and the interests of humanity
and the interests of civilization, too, we
cannot afford.
"I am not afraid ever to see the Uni
ted States take her place in the struggle
of the great world powers where she
belongs. I do not mean that I want her
to meddle in Europe; God forbid, but I
do say that the other side of the Pacific
is an American interest, and I want to
see the United States protect her own
throughout the East"
If there is a state in the Union which
needs a change in state officers, says the
David City News, Nebraska is that
state. The conduct of its public institu
tions since Poynter has been governor,
has been a disgrace to the people of the
state, and especially so to Poynter him
self. It has been one continual wrangle
during his administration, and these
have been caused principally by the in
competents he has placed in charge of
the asylum, homes, etc. Only last week
there was a general free-for-all at tho
Beatrice institution, in which wholesale
arrests were made, Dr. Lang, in charge
of the institution among the number.
Truly, this is a pretty spectacle for the
people of the state.
A passenger train on the Macon
branch of the Southern railway ran into
a washout one and a half miles north of
McDonough, Go., Saturday night and
was completely wrecked. The entire
train, except the sleeper, was destroyed
by fire. Every person on the train ex
cept occupants of the Pullman car per
ished. Not one of the train crew escap
ed. Thirty-five persons were killed. A
cloudburst broke over this section of
the country about 6 o'clock Saturday
evening and presumably shortly after
washed out a section of the track nearly
100 feet in length. Into this the swiftly
moving train plunged and met its fate.
One body was found a mile from the
wreck.
A half century ago Daniel Webster,
if he had had McKinley's administra
tion in bis mind's eye, couldn't have
given a more accurate description:
"That is the truest American policy
which shall most usefully employ Amer
ican capital and American labor and
best sustain the whole American pop
ulation. Agriculture, commerce and
manufacturers will prosper together or
languish together."
Potnter's majority two years ago was
less than three thousand. What will it
be when he must go before the people
with a long string of apologies for blun
ders in appointing wicked and foolish
men to office? Besides he must answer

HIS OWN PORTRAlt.

It has been a common practice with,
artists of all ages and countries to
paint their own pictures, and at the
Ufilzl gallery In Florence can be seen a
magnificent collection of portraits of
the world'a great painters done by
themselves. It Is a coveted honor to be
Invited to contribute one's own portrait
to this collection, for one must be emi
nent before thlscompllment is paid. As
may be easily understood, painting
one's own portrait is a somewhat trou
blesome task, for the painter must do
a good deal from memory, especially
If he puts himself In an attitude which
It is difficult to reflect in a mirror. A
straightforward portrait looking out of
the picture Is obviously the easiest to
manage, for the painter has only to
place the mirror In front of him to see.
his model.
Triple and quadruple mirrors must,
be employed when the attitude Is In
any way removed from full face. A
profile would be more difficult to see
for oneself, but a three-quarter race
would be no less so, as In both cases
the artist would be working from a re
flection of a reflection, which, to say
the least of It, Is a bothering condition.
The looking at oneself for a long
time Is one of the strange and trying
conditions of painting one's own por
trait, for difficulties and complexities
appear to grow the more one tries to
grapple with them. Like the road to'
the tired traveler, which seems to
lengthen as he goes, so the difficulties
of painting oneself appear to Increase,
rather than diminish the more one
looks at oneself.
Apart from painting one's one por
trait, artists largely draw from them
selves, for a man can more easily as
sume a particular attitude than get
another person to do so. Then for de
tails, such as a baud, arm, nose, eye.
the artist and a mirror supply all that
Is required. Another of the many uses
of a mirror Is to reverse the work dur
ing its progress, as reversing a draw
ing will often reveal an awkwardness,
want of balance or faulty drawing,
which might otherwise go undetected.

look back upon It, seems strangely pic

to Port Gibson and there consult seal

long enough to obey orders without

bizarre and not too agreeable task. We
first established headquarters at the
residence of a prominent Confederate
judge.
"Then dlCerent squads were sent out
to call at the homes of the young wom

they must report at headquarters with

The only Information we could give
them (the whole transaction was as
much a mystery to us as to them) was
that they were to be taken to Vicks
burg as prisoners of war, but were on
no account to suffer any discomfort or
Indignity.
"Of course, there was great weeping,
walling and gnashing of teeth from
tender mothers, loving sisters and Irate
fathers and brothers. But the Incident
had to be accepted as belonging to the
fortunes of war, and at the end of two
hours 49 of the 50, attended by anx

SECRET OF BRIGHT COLORS.
Pays Dearly Far a
aaashlae Trick.
In speaking to the writer about the
favorable Influence that fine weather
has upon the production of bright
and delicately shaded dyes and colors,
a famous English manufacturer of
carmine recently said:
"Some years ago I was aware of the
superiority of the French carmine, and,
being anxious to Improve upon my own
process, I went to Lyons and bargained
with the most celebrated manufacturer
In that city for the acquisition of his
secret, for which I was to pay $5,000.
"Well, I was shown all the process
and saw a most beautiful color pro
duced, but I noticed that there was not
the least difference In the French mode
of fabrication and that which I con
stantly adopted myself. I thereupon
appealed to my instructor and Insist
ed that he must have kept some secret
concealed. The man assured me he had
not and asked me to Inspect the proc
ess a second time. I accepted the In
vitation, and after I had minutely ex
amined the water and the materials,
which were In every respect similar to
my own, I still felt so much in the dark
that I said, 'I have lost both my labor
and money, for the air of England does
not admit us to make good carmine.'
" 'Stay!' said the Frenchman. 'Don't
deceive yourself. What kind of weather
Is It nowr
" 4A bright and sunny day,' I replied.
"'And such are the days,' said the
Frenchman, 'on which I make my col
or. Were I to attempt to manufacture
It on a dark and cloudy day my results
would be the same as yours. Let me
advise you, my friend, only to make
your carmine on bright, sunny days.'
"The moral of this," continued the
Englishman, "will apply quite as well
to the making of many other colors
used In manufactures, and also in the
fine arts, for it illustrates Iu a practical
way the chemical Influence of light
upon certain coloring compounds or
mixtures." Washington Star.
A PECULIAR 6PIDER.
e Catehea Blraa aa Bin; aa Larka la
Hla Maansneth Web.
Far up in the mountains of Ceylon
there Is a spider that spins a web like
bright yellowish silk, the central net
of which Is five feet In diameter, while
the supporting lines, or guys, as they
are called, measure sometimes 10 or 12
feet and, riding quickly In the early
morning, you may dash right into It,
the stout threads twining round your
face like a lace veil, while, as the
creature who has woven It takes up his
position In the middle, he generally
catches yon right In the nose, and,
though he seldom bites or stings, the
contact of his large body and long legs
Is anything but pleasant If you forget
yourself and try to catch him, bite he
will, and, though not venomous, his
jaws are as powerful as a bird's beak,
and you are not likely to forget the en
counter. The bodies of these spiders are very
handsomely decorated, being bright
gold or scarlet underneath, while the
upper part Is covered with the most
delicate slate colored fur. So strong are
the webs that birds the size of kirks
are frequently caught therein, and even
the small but powerful scaly lizard
falls a victim. A writer says that he
has often sat and watched the yel
low monster measuring, when waitlug
for his prey, with his legs stretched
out fully six Inches striding across
the middle of the net and noted the
rapid manner In which be winds his
stout threads round the unfortunate
captive.
He usually throws the colls about
the head until the wretched victim is
first blinded and then choked. In many
unfrequented dark nooks of the jungle
you come across most perfect skeletons
of small birds caught In these terrible
snares. Pittsburg Dispatch.

So many people suffer from insomnia
nowadays that it Is a wonder they do
not adopt the time honored custom of
Frenchr kings and Indeed of our an
cestors generally, the "en cas" by the
bedside, the meal of fruit or bread and
cokl chicken, put ready In case of
wakefulness. Many a merry little meal
might be. eaten In the middle of the
night, when thoughts crowd on the
mind and care sits heavy. It is the
wakeful digestion that claims its due
and clamors to be fed. Our forefa
thers were wise, and many a hunter
after old furniture knows the quaint
little cupboard with a grated door
which served for the night meal and is
now sometimes labeled a cheese cup
board. A bedside book Is of no use
when the pangs of hunger make for
mastery, but with a book and a
"snack" one can contrive to pass
some pleasant hours, even when sleep
does not touch one's eyelids and the
sweet boon of unconsciousness evades
one's grasp. New York Times.

The nests of the little swift (a kind
of swallow), gathered along the rocky
cliffs with so much difficulty and yet
hi such quantities en account of the
Chinese demand, are formed of a
salivary secretion which soon becomes
firm on exposure to the air. It Is a
glutinous white substance with little
red dots. They are clean, the nests
being taken as soon as completed. The
little swift, being repeatedly robbed, is
at last compelled to eke out Its waning
supply of secretion with little sticks
and grass and Is thus enabled to lay
Its eggs and hatch Its young, as only

The features are developed by the
mind. A child that is reared amid
pleasant surroundings and whose mind
Is filled with, pleasant thoughts, will
have a pleasing! face. The shape of
the nose and chin will depend entirely
upon the strength and character of the
mental faculties.
At 10 a boy's nose may be small -and
turned up at the end, at 15 it may have
grown larger and be straight and at 25
It may be pronounced Roman. It all de
pends upon his mind.
The Romans had big noses with high
bridges because they- were a steady
and determined race of people. Sturdi
ness and determination will give a man
a Roman nose, no matter how little or
how snubby bis proboscis may have
been when he was born. The Greeks
had straight, delicate, finely chiseled
noses because their tastes are artistic
and poetic. You never saw a poet or
an artist with a Roman 'or snub nose,
did you?
On the other hand. It would be hard
to find a great general who had not a
Roman nose. Get pictures of Alexan
der the Great. Napoleon, Welllugton,
Washington or Grant and see If they
have not all got big, strong noses of
the Romanesque type. Yet it is quite
safe to say that if we could have por
traits of all these personages.- taken In
infancy, we would find their olfactory
organs little pudgy affairs, like those
of the common run of babies. These
men were not great generals because
they had Roman noses; they had Ro
mau noses liecause they were great
generals. San Francisco Bulletin.
