The old town of Deerficld, Mass., according to the Youth's Com panion, may be said to have begun the revival. A few years ago a num ber of women in that town made the experiment of reproducing by hand jlie old-fashioned blue-anil-white co lonial bedspreads and table-covers. The materials were dyed at home with the old-time vegetable dyes, the goods were woven by hand, and when offered for sale commanded a market sinil a price which plainly indicated the establishment of an industry by which home-keeping women could earn a respectable income. In two widely separated towns in Maine summer visitors from New York dis covered possibilities in "pulled rugs." A few suggestions and a little wise cooperation with the village women in the matter of design led to the production of rugs which sell for prices equal to those asked for fine oriental rugs. The business has now extended to the manufacture by hand, of course—of draperies for por tieres, couch covers, and even of homespun dress-goods. Nor is it the women alone who are engaged in these modern handicrafts. The man ufacture of baskets, restic furniture and articles in brass and iron has been undertaken by men of mechan ical skill touched with artistic senti ment, and their work also has found a ready sale. The beauty of these simple industries is twofold. They are occupations in which the worker can take pleasure, and in which he can express his own individuality; and they are carried on at home, without the expense of rent or mid dlemen's profits. Those who know the dull and monotonous life of the small Lack-country towns during » part of the year are hopeful that ■village industries will have good so cial as well as industrial results. T. P.

I am <>U years old and can not digest my food.l would give you till my millions if you could give me youth and health.' Then 1 shall never forget bis next remark.

I would gladly sell anything to have half mv life over again.' And 1 saw his clenched hands as he spoke." The fine points of the law tire some what involved by the statement in a divorce suit that the offending lady and a clerical admirer went to a res taurant where "they hail limit and eggs anil Scotch whisky served in lit tle flasks. He had three and she had two." Hut whether the reverend gen tleman had three hams, or three eggs, or three Scotch whiskies there's the puzzle. For the honor of the cloth unless he is a stern descendant of the old Covenanters Itoswcll Field, of the Chicago Post, ventures to hope the plurality referred to the limn or eggs. For it is unbecoming in a minister of the (iospel to take three bcotches with a lady in quick succession, however alluring she may be. The world is against mules and newspapers.

Persons who fail to read the numer ous recipes for democratic harmony that arc being offered by the party leaders nowadays miss a great deal of amusement and some solemn instruc tion. Nothing could be funnier than the eulogies of harmony in the ab stract, followed in every case by at tempts to beat it into the other fellow with a club. Hut we arc also getting a great deal of valuable information concerning the fundamental principles of government and what a deadly peril to free government and human liberty the republican party is. We are learn ing that it embodies and represents all the bad forms of government and dan gerous cracies there are—aristocracy, plutocracy, autocracy, monocracy and ell the rest. The only true friends of democracy are those who spell it with a big 1). A few days ago former Sen ator Vilas characterized the repub lican party as a large conspiracy against the nation, and said that when the "crowning inerev" of its destruc tion should be vouchsafed "the very purification of the nation's soul by the fires of the strife will easily enable it to subdue the lesser forms in which Satan is embodied inour national life." An undergraduate who should produce such a sentence as that in a society ora- NOT THE BIG FIGHT n —— But Just a Picture of What Would Happsn if Grover and Bryan Were to Meet on the Same Harmony Platform. tion would probably think it line writ ing. says the Indianapolis Journal. Mr. Bryan in his speech tit Nantas ket diagnosed the case somewhat dif ferently. with practically the same result. He pointed out that the two great political parties of the coun try represented two opposing ideas aristocracy and democracy—the for mer being represented by the repub lican party and the latter by democ racy wilh a big I), lie also identified the aristocracy with the plutocracy, between which and democracy with a big 1) there could be no affiliation. With profound sagacity he said: "There can be only one aristocratic party in the country. There will be room enough for till the aristocrats in that, when the people know what the party stands for." As Mr. Bryan has read (Irover Cleveland and all his friends out of the democracy, with a big I), it follows that their only place is with the plutocracy and aristocracy represented by the repub lican party, 'let Mr. Bryan makes one kind concession. He says in ef fect that republicans are aristocrats without knowing it. To quote his words: "A great majority of the republicans of to-day are ilemocrats at heart. They believe with Lincoln in 'government of the people, by the people anil for the people.' I believe the only trouble is that they have not noticed the change that has taken place in the purpose anil character ami methods of the republican organization. * * * There can te no doubt of the democratic Instincts of a large majority of the members of the republican party, bat that party to-day Is so controlled by organized wealth that the rank and flls of the party are not consulted about the policies nor are the Interests of the rank and 111 c considered by the leaders." There i* some consolation for re publicans in knowing that even in the opinion of the great and only friend of democracy as a form of govern ment and the peerless leader of de mocracy with a big 1), republicans are not wholly bad, at least not in tentionally so. They are aristocrats and plutocrats without knowing it, anil are really entitled to be in bet ter company'. In the present distract ed condition of the democratic party they would probably be welcome re cruits to the democracy with a big T). It is a pity the ruling party of the country does not know it is ruin ing it.

THE CABINET WILL WORK. Ilcftili of tioi eruDifntnl Ile |>n rt me nt« Are lo Take nil Active I'urt iu tile ium|iiili;n. Whether thereahns been any definite plan for a st limping tour on the part of the members of the cabinet this fall or not. the reception given to the sugges tion by the press is sufficient to war- such a plan now. Papers repre senting all shades of political opiniotii welcome the appearance of men on the stump who can speak with authority. In England cabinet members sit in parliament and participate in the de bates. But here the most important recommendations of the administra tion are put before congress and be fore the country without any suffi cient explanation on the part of the men whose acquaintance with the matters involved and official station combine to make what they might say of the very greatest importance, says the lies Moines Kcgister and Leader. The members of President Roose velt's cabinet are with one or two ex ceptions forcible public speakers. It will benetit the public to hear what they have to say about the work of their departments and benefit them to come into direct contact with llie pub lic. A democratic paper rejoices at the opportunity to hear Secretary Root, and expresses regret that Sec retary bong could not have been brought before the people in public discussion. Secretary Boot w ill doubt less be as pleased to spetik of the work of the war department in the Philip pines, as any part of the public will be to hear him, and nothing that can be done will conduce to a better under standing of conditions as they now ex ist and of pfans for the future than to have him visit various parts of the I'nited States and talk freely of what his department has done and is doing. President Itoosevelt will make a trip through the west, but will not, with reference to party issues, talk politics. It will be impossible for him, however, to avoid discussing the duties and responsibilities of the govern ment. There has been some disposi tion on the part of the opposition to criticise him for his trip, but the Xevv York Times undoubtedly expresses general judgment when it says: "It is well for the people to see their president when they can. to hear him, or to read what he says on such occasions. Our country is big. Our population is enormous and widely scattered. Despite the free intercommunication and the vast number of newspapers we are beset with local and sectional prejudices and mis understandings due mainly to ignorance. It is a good tiling that the president should come into personal relations, even though fleeting, with as large a number of the people as he can." Public officials cannot do much to intentionally promote their own polit ical fortunes. The more they try the less they seem to succeed. It is per fectly safe to allow them all the lati tude they desire. The only way they can ingratiate themselves with the public is by making such a plain and honest statement of their pur poses ns will convince the deliberate judgment of the country that they are properly intrusted with authority.

The Itnee Seems lo lie Knilovveil vvitli u Special Aptitude for .\ot Kuriset I liiK, "Speaking of the negro race, I am inclined to believe that some scientist would find an extremely profitable field in the negro's faculty for remem bering things," said a traveling man, according to the New Orleans Times- Democrat, "and the wonder is that some man qualified for the work has not taken the subject up. The negro's aptitude in this respect litis been the subject of comment from time to time, and we have heard a great deal about his lack of imagination, and all that sort of things, but so far as 1 am aware there has been no systematic study of the question. "How can we account for the ex traordinary talent of the negro in this respect? How is it that tin 1 negro can remember with such unerring accuracy the names of persons, places, things and frequently under the most confus ing circumstances? We do not know. W'c cannot account for it on a physio logical basis, and yet no doubt the structural peculiarities of the black men have much to do with this partic ular talent. The low order, if not the total lack of imagination in the negro has no doubt tended to improve the faculty of memory. Still these facts tlo not seem to fully explain the ex traordinary gift, for we frequently find types of men of other races which show similar structural peculiarities and a total lack of imagination, and yet types which fail to show the ne gro's aptitude for remembering things. The familiar example of the negro's unerring accuracy in handling hats tit t he larger hotels has frequent ly been referred to.

I'R currency laws certainly need amendment, tg At V ■ Their rigidity is a constant menace to the busi ng? ||| I ness of the country. Present laws and our present ®| fly I currency properly serve public interests in nor ■ nial conditions, when nothing disturbs public con fidence. .WHAT WE REQUIRE ARE LAWS WHICH WILL GIVE TO OUR CURRENCY jS AND PANIC, when money received by the employe, and other people as well, goes into hiding in one's pocket instead of resuming its place in the banks and in circulation. Let the pay rolls, which are usually transferred from employe to savings bank, be hoarded through fear or distrust of gen eral business conditions, and the amount of money in circulation will very soon be lessened to such an extent as to create absolute strin gency. Measurable relief has been found heretofore through clear ing house certificates. Such, however, are available only as between banks in settlement of balances. In the money panic of 1893 such certificates were used by the New York clearing house to the amount of $41,490,000 and afforded great relief to commercial interests. THE TIME HAS GONE BY WHEN THE CLEARING HOUSE CERTIFICATE MAY BE AVAILED OF # ITII SAFETY. Their future use would materially impair our national prestige as a money power in the world of finance. They are more likely to damage than aid a city which may hereafter resort to them. Interior banks would divert their exchanges to other localities that still continue to pay currency, to an amount which would likely more than offset the amount of clearing house certificates which could be used. WHAT WE REQUIRE IS NOT CLEARING HOUSE CER TIFICATES, good only in the settlement of balances between banks, BUT CURRENCY GOOD IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE FOR ANY BUSINESS PURPOSE. Our laws should be amended so as to permit banks to issue emergency circulation—ASSET CUR RENCY, if you please—currency, the redemption of which should be made a first lien upon the assets of a bank, and still further protected by a redemption fund maintained by the bank of issue with the treasurer of the United States for such purpose. Let this be sub jected to a five per cent, tax, if you please, a tax sufficient in amount to inducet he retirement of the circulation in normal conditions. During the recent financial crisis in Germany, the Imperial bank prevented a serious panic, with all its distressing consequences, h\ issuing a very large amount of emergency or asset currency, upon which it paid into the imperial treasury a tax of five per cent.
