Evolution of the Peacemaker. Recently Berlin apprised the world Jn no uncertain tones that Germany Is Interested In the Balkan question. Evi dently the kaiser has learned through his little tilt with the public that It is better by long odds to say n strong thing occasionally than to keep feed ing out sensations. In all his utter ances on International affairs the Ger man emperor has been consistent with the old doctrine of the realm that n nation can have peace only when It can command respect. That was when Germany saw possible enemies In Its continental neighbors. Now when the Ualser speaks for Germany as a world power there Is In his tones the same old ring of assur ance that the nation Is strong enough to command respect. Once the power behind the Imperial frown or threat was a big army. Now it Is a big army plus a big navy. Once the cry of the -would be peacemaker of Europe was for a big navy; then it was for a big ger navy. Now the same Hps demand the biggest navy in order that all the world shall respect Germany's will and mandate. The first martial Hohen sollern ransacked the earth for big soldiers to inspire his neighbors with fear. The Prussian who now alms to do as Frederick the Great would do if he were here wants the biggest navy ta order to command: the respect of the world, and the world must either take his word for it that he seeks the general peace or It can keep Ger many's navy down to second or third rank. "Optometrist" is the new term applied to that skilled class of people who make a specialty of iitting glasses to defective ryes, familiarly known as opticians An optometry bill is now pending in the legislature at Harrisburg. Several states, including New York state, already have optometry laws. The passage of this bill will force illegitimate so-called opti cians and spectacle fakirs out of busi ness, and will be a blessing to the public at large. In order to qualify as an op tometrist after the passage of the bill, the applicant will have to pass a rigid examination upon the refractive, mus cular and accommodative anomalies of the eye. These examinations will be given by a state board of optometrists appointed by the state. New Yorkers have an eighty cent gas statute riveted down, but that doesn't prevent the meters showing a dollar rate consumption when tho col lector calls with his no-pay-no-gas ulti matum. The way things are a big' navy seems to stand for a bigger navy, and the way things look the biggest navy will soon be the only one to have 'any standing at all. Some one must have let loose among the English suffragettes Bourke Cock- ran's campaign epigram, "Better riot than rottenness." Returns on the Inaugural day casual ty list will be coming in dally way up to the glorious Fourth. .NEEDLEWORK NOTES. Something that should be found in every needlewoman's workbaskct is a Nttle contrivance of glass to slip on the finger to protect It in embroid ering. It is almost impossible to do embroidery over the finger and not occasionally prick the finger unless one provides herself with some sort of protector. When sewing a collar to a waist do not nllow any fullness to occur across the back of the waist unless the waist Is designed for it If the neck has stretched a little and is too large for the band, let the fullness come from the front of the waist to a little lu front of tho shoulder seam. The woman who understands Mex ican drawn work, the net stitch, can now make for herself one of the dainty flrawu work handkerchiefs with a bor der six inches deep. They are fash ionable at present and will be found among the luxuries displayed in the art stores, and quite expensive are the finest ones. A girl who is handy with "her needle should be ready with collar and cuff accessories in an entirely new effect that will be much worn during the spring season. The collar Is a straight band turnover, and the cuffs turn back, lightly pointed on tho outer edge. The material employed is a very fine cross barred muslin, worked with a colored mercerised thread. A row of dots is set on, one dot In each square, alter nating with a row left plain, the rows going ap and down. Both collar and ruffs are finished with a narrow hem of lawn In the color used for the decoration. OUR NE1 Wmm MACHINE THE MERGAHTHALER LINOTYPE AND ITS WONDROUS WORK. Most Useful Invention of The Age. Over 13,000 American Built Linotypes In Daily Use Throughout The, World. We give herewith an illustration of the New Typesetting Ma chine, which is about to be installed in TUG CITIZEN" office as a part of its up-to-date outfit. Years of continuous experiment and money were required for the invention of the greatest typesetting machine, which is called the "Mergcnthaler Linotype." The word "linotype" is a coined word, which means "line of type." The Linotype is conceded to be the most remark able machine ever invented, and is scarcely second in importance to the wonders wrought by electricity. Its invention and in the printing business. The Mergenthaler Linotype was the first commercially successful composing-machine, and is to-day the standard composing-machine everywhere. It marks the first and only successful departure from the long-established forms of type-composition. The last great improvement was the pro duction of a machine inwhich the "linotypes" were produced instantly and ready for use on the press by the mere fingering of keys like those of a typewriter. The keys serve to assemble temporarily a line of matrices made of brass, bearing in dividual characters or dies, a Roman character in the upper or regular position, and the Italic or black letter in the lower or auxiliary position, against which the slugs or "linotypes" were cast in type metal. The Linotype is a single machine, operated by one man, producing at a single operation the finished product directly in response to the operation of the key board. It composes matter more readily and more economically than can be done in any other manner. It does away with worn and battered type, and always gives a new, clean dress. Matter may be.kept standing indefinitely, at the mere cost of Linotype metal. The Linotype is guaranteed to be capable of setting 5,000 ems of solid nonpareil per hour, and this output is widely obtained every day in commercial offices by first-class operators. The two most recent records on a Linotype were made by Mr. Nichols of the Salt Lake (Utah) Herald, and Frederick Koelle, Jr., of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Mr. Nichols set seven hours and fifty-two minutes, making eight hours. Mr. Koelle, on Mav 11, hours, working' off the hook. The inventor of the Linotype was Ottmar Mergenthaler, a German clockmaker. It has been stated many times that Ottmar Mergenthaler died in poverty, while others reaped the reward of his genius ; thaler died a millionaire, in 1899, and his less than $50,000 a year since that time.
