It Is safe to predict for the harem skirt a short life and an exciting one Titled husbands seem to think thej can train American heiresses when caught young. A New York dentist was lately sent to Sing Sing for forgery. Ho evident ly lost his "pull." "Harvard is after $1,200,000." Manj of us would like to do the same thing but what's the use? Telephone girls in Denver marry in 13 months. In New York the av ernge is 23 months. Go west, young woman! Massachusetts proposes imposing a tax on all bachelors of good standing and correct moral habits. llow many will it reach? Wellcsley girls are to be taught the art of raising onions. We should think the art of eating them would be more important. A Cleveland man Is suing for a di vorce because his wife has liardlj spoken to him in years Some men do not appreciate their blessings. The czar of Russia has ordered an opera to commemorate the deeds of his ancestors. Possibly the music will be interspersed with bomb explo sions. The per capita circulation has reached the sum of $34.43, but a good many people retire at the'end of the week with less than 43 cents each to the good. A learned professor has discovered that men prefer blond women. But he needn't expect husbands with bru nette wives to help him prove it to the public. The most polite man on record hid the fact until his death. He was a New York man. who apologized in hla will to his wife for not leaving her more money. Out In Washington a woman Jury fined a man for swearing. Well, what Is a man going to do when he swings a shovelful of ccal and misses the furnace door? Inventor Johnson, who discovered Portland cement, is still alive and hearty at the age of 100. Maybe in venting is more conductive -co longev ity than Fletcherizing after all. A Wilkesbarre Alderman has decid ed that face paint is a necessity and not a cause for divorce. Since when have Aldermen been given Jurisdic tion in divorce cases In Wilkesbarre? "A man who allows his wife to have her own way," says a Boston profes sor, "is a philosopher and a diplo mat." We might add that he is doing the only thing it is possible for him to do.

Beems Improbable That Matter Can Be Properly Handled In Extra Session —Good Advice for Democratic Leaders. Will congress, during the exl ra ses sion, con Ann Its attention to the Can adian reciprocity bill or will It at tempt also to change some of the schedules In the Payne-Aldrtcb tariff bill? Doubtless there are Democratic members of the new house who are iuipatient to give Immediate proof to their constituents of their zeal for revision. It remains to be seen whether there Is enough of cautious ness and conservatism in the house to hold them in check. It is not likely that congress will be imprudent enough to take up delib erately the entire subject of the tar iff this summer. If it essays anything beyond the passage of the reciprocity bill it will probably be the amendment of one or two of the tariff schedules. And there is none it is more likely to select than the woolen schedule, which everybody, aside from the men it ben efits and their friends, acknowledges to be unjust to the consumers. Yet If the woolen schedule is changed, the cotton and some other schedules must be changed also. Involved in them to an equal extent, and in fact affecting practically the entire' act, are the questions of drawbacks, maximum and minimum provisions, and compound duties, specific and ad valorem. It must be borne in mind, also, that the present tariff law is obscure, com plex and involved to such an extent that in many instances it is difficult to ascertain the amount of bounty it con fers on its beneficiaries. Perhaps that was one of Its purposes. The deduction is logical that if even any of the schedules which most need reduction is taken up this sum mer for revision, congress will almost Inevitably be drawn into the considera tion of practically the whole tariff sub ject. And it Is not in a position yet to do that. Its more careful nnd far-seeing lead ers will undoubtedly recommend that the tariff be left until next winter in the hands of the committee on ways and means. It goes without saying that the busines interests of the coun try hope this counsel will be given and followed. Financial Appropriations. The division of the appropriations among several committees for differ ent departments naturally induces each committee to try to grab all it can for its department. Another of the evils of that system, as Chairman Tawney points out, is the practice of making .appropriations immediately available, so that many are in fact designed to meet deficiencies in the preceding year. His solution would be to have a general appropriations committee upon which all depart ments would be represented, so that each would check the other, while the concentration of responsibility would tend to prevent the comparative reck lessness with which expenditures are now voted. Without some such cen tralization of responsibility the efforts to secure economy in the operation of the departments must be largely In vain. So long as the appropriations can be obtained the departments will not hesitate to ask for them or to spend them. Task for Democrats. When the Democratic party takes charge in the house it will find the way of the economist a hard one to travel. It may succeed in trimming off a few millions from the bills, but the net pavings will be picayune com pared with the needß of the govern ment. It will do well to proceed or. the theory that the appropriations are in fair measure representative of the country's necessities and obligations and not try for a record which cannot stand analysis. Bailey's Position Illogical. Senator Bailey says he is opposed to the agreement with Canada be cause it admits raw mcterials free or at greatly reduced rates and does not cut down the duties on manufactures. That is extremely foolish. He refuses to let the wedge be driven in because It cannot go clean through at a single blow. In reality he is simply serving local Interests, like the lumbermen, whose plea he has already submitted. Uncle Sam's Expenditures. Chairman Tnwrey of the bouse ap propriations committee announces that th<' totr.l appropriations made at the last session of congress aggregat ed $1,025,489.102. less than $1,000,000 In excess of the estimates of the pres ident. Ho predicts a surplus of rev enues next year of not less than $?3,- 600,000. "Th«' extra session will cost $1 ,• 000,000." Wh'-n the Democrats net through tinkering with the tariff It may be found to cost more than that Scored Wealthy Women.

HAS HEAVY BURDEN TO CARRY New Secretary of the Interior May Properly Ask That People's Judg ment Be Deferred. If ever a man found himself with a strenuous Job on his hnnds he is Wal ter L. Fisher of Chicago, who has bo come secretary of the interior In place of Ha Dinger. The work which confronts him Is enough to appall any but the most highly developed Amer ican man of affairs. To begin with, the department is in a more or less demoralized condition and much of its business not brought up to date, owing to the fact that, for nearly a year it has Ijeen compelled to defend itself constantly against tlie most persistent and vigorous attacks. Among the great problems awaiting solution are those connected with the leasing of coal lands in Alaska, oil kinds in California, and waterpower sites in various parts of the public domain, upon which subject congress failed to provide any legislation. The Alaska railroad question must also be settled. Then there is the Cun ningham coal case in Alaska to be disposed of and the highly Important precedent thereby established must be carefully considered. Something must be done with a great number of prose cutions against claimants to public lands, already in course of prepara tion. A definite policy must be de cided upon for the expenditure of $20,- 000,000 in the completion of existing reclamation project. And on top of all this the new secretary must prepare for the investigation of his department threatened by the Demo cratic house. But Mr. Fisher is a dauntless man of great force and high ability. He will undoubtedly do as much as any man could do. In all fairness, the coun try should not become impatient if he fails to get results as quickly as it would like in all the undertakings be fore him. Senator Root's Plan. The bill to deal with deadlocks in the electioji of United States sena tors which Mr. Root has introduced contains this prov'. ion: "If no person receives such majority before 'he first day of March next preceding the be ginning of the six years for which a senator is to be elected, then the pef son who on or after the first day of March receives a plurality of the votes of the joint assembly, a majority of all the members elected to both houses being present and voting, shall be declared duly elected." If plurality votes are to give a good title to a senatorship, why insist on a two months' struggle to obtain a ma jority first? Why not elect by plu rality votes at the outset? The sen ator in most cases would be no less representative of the people if chosen by a plurality than if chosen by a ma jority. The best way to deal with this matter Is to elect by popular vote. There will be no legislative deadlocks then. Senator Bailey's Weakness. Senator liailey of Texas is in many ways a strong man. He has knowl edge, conviction, force. But he has weaknesses, and one of them is pctu lance. His resignation from the sen ate under Irritation growing out of the failure of his Democratic asso ciates to accept his leadership, was an exhibition of weakness, followed by still another exhibition of weakness in his withdrawal. Either he should not have resigned or he should have made his resignation sti!) of old lumber, tin can* of all sorts and sl*»s, Iron hod »uuds, chairs.

Mr. Hilles borrowed a Bible and read the following: "And when ho hath made an end of reconciling the holy place and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat. "And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goai and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel and all their trans gressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness. "And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not in habited, and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness." Apparently the Virginia belle reads the political columns of the news papers and knows how often it falls on the president's secretary to bo "tb» goat." HEIR TO THRONE OF MONACO to Prince Albert, who also drew about SBOO,OOO a year from the local post office and stamp duties. Of this total $3,200,000, the prince was supposed to retain SBOO,OOO as his civil list, while the remainder represented the revenues of the state and were to provide for its maintenance. Now the people assert that the prince had allowed these sums and their true destination to become confused and has amassed a fortune of $16,000,000, most of which he has, with proper caution, invested in France. Whether the people will goto the extreme of revolution in case their de mands are not granted only the future can tell. But the situation does not augur well for either Prince Albert or Prince Louis. FISHER SUCCEEDS BALLINGER~| of stock and bond Issues of railroads. He Is a native of West Virginia and is 49 years old. Mr. Fisher said that no change in the personnel of the department would be made. Mr. Balllnger says he Intends to prosecute those whom he considers have been his enemies. In defending himself against those who have been waging war upon him Mr Balllnger says that he spent $25,000 and Is today a j.oor man. Ills health, too, has been Impaired. MAINE GOVERNOR AN EDITOR «itu4 <»f 'g«ttlu« «NM" ufc» %Utn»\nr ttiw >au coujui. up »ii /J. tu Untj The now secretary to President Taft who succeeds Charles D. Norton is Charles D. Hilles, until recently as sistant secretary of the treasury. The selection of Mr. Hilles meets with the hearty approval of the friends of the president. Mr. Hilles Is a native of Ohio, but was appointed to his pres ent position from Dcbb's Ferry, X. Y., where he was conducting a boys' school. Mr. Hilles is about 40 years old. He will receive an annual sal ary of $7,500, congress having grant ed an increase of $1,500 for the po sition. Under the reorganization of the expeutive force which has brought about Mr. Norton's short term at the White House, that force, with the ex ception of the secretary, will be prac tically a permanent body. That women are keen observers and not always without a sense of humor has been demonstrated by a Virginia girl. When the announce ment was made that Charles D. Hilles Prince Louis, who Is heir to the throne of the little principality of Monaco, famous throughout the world as the greatest gambling resort in ex istence, may never wield the power now exercised by his father, Prince Albert. Although the profits from the casino pay all the taxes of the prin cipality, thereby freeing every citi zen from financial obligations to the state, the people are not contented. They have made demands upon Prince Albert for a constitution, and the prince, immediately after the ex pulsion of Manuel from Portugal, granted them one. They rejected it, however, demanding fuller political rights, and even made demonstra tions before the palace, In which the red flag of anarchy was unfurled. It has been charged that a cor rupt condition of things exists. By the terms of the last concession granted to the Casino, about $2,400,- 000 was handed over annually by it Walter Lowery Fisher of Chicago, succeeds Richard A. Balllnger as sec retary of the Interior. Mr Balllnger's resignation was presented in Janu ary, but at the request of the presi dent, was withheld until after con gress adjourned. Mr. Fisher is a law yer, and has served In several pub lic capacities. Singularly, he has been one of Gifford Pinchot's staunch est supporters in the matter of con servation of natural resources. He was president of the Conservation League of the National Conservation Congress, which succeeded the league and of which Mr. PincHot Is president. He has always taken a deep and active interest In conservation. He was Instrumental In the formation of the Municipal Voters' league of Chi cago nnd was Its president In 1906.

An Instructor in a church school where much attention was paid tc 6acred history, dwelt particularly on the phrase "And Enoch was not, tor God took him." So many times was this repeated in connection with the death of Enoch that he thought even the dullest pupil would answer cor rectly when asked in examination: State in the exact language of the Bible what is said of Enoch's death. But this was the answer he got: "Enoch was not what God took him for."—Brooklyn Life. Why Maria Laughed.
