The death rate of Madras is now about 110 per thousand, or double the mean of the last ten years. One-third of the German exports to Togoland and one-seventh of those to East Africa consist of alcoholic drinks. Last year r>2,000 Russian emigrants to Siberia returned to their old homes, not being satisfied with their new ones. Strong lights, with basins of petro leum below them, are now used in France to destroy night llylng insects that injure vineyards. As many as 4,88S insects have been caught in a basin in one night. The nickel coinage shortly to be put into circulation in Belgium is pierced. This, it is claimed, will make the pieces of 5 and 10 centimes which com prise the issue much more convenient for business purposes, as they can be strung like Chinese and Japanese "cash." German's oldest seagoing ironclad, the Kron, has been struck from the list of the strength of the fleet. She was launched in England in 1807 and was then considered the embodiment of all that was new and effective in armored warships. A publisher in Amsterdam, Holland, is getting out a book which contains in alphabetical order the names of many aristocratic Englishmen who have been killed or wounded in the Transvaal. He calls the work "The Almuuach do Botha." Ceylon Knlvcn. IN'Burma, in Ceylon and, though for tunately in a lesser degree, in Madras, says the Madras Times, quarrels are constantly occurring in which knives are brought into play and serious wounds inflicted, resulting more often than not in death. The knives used in Ceylon are sheath knives, and for long the law abiding portion of the commu nity has been trying to get the authori ties to insist on these knives being made with a button on the tip. They would L>E thus rendered harmless for stabbing, while still available for le gitimate use. Were it enacted that no clasp knives beyond a certain maxi mum size of blade and handle should be carried on the person much good would result. Any one carrying a dan gerously big knife should be made amenable to a special "knife act," pun ishable with the cane or birch. A Rue That Sleep* In n l.nec Down. Do you want to see a beautiful bug tucked away for the winter? Go to the nearest sycamore tree and lift up A small piece of its bark from the trunk at about the height of your head from Hie ground. There lives the lace bug, active in summer, asleep in winter. This tiny creature is only about an eighth of an Inch long and to the naked eye seems simply -white. But any ordinary magnifying glass will disclose its beauty. Two long sheets of lace clown the back form its wings. Its neck is surrounded by an Elizabethan ruff '•f lace.

Opposition to the re-enactment of the Geary Chinese exclusion act is not demonstrative, but nevertheless it is very real and strong and persistent. It would be a mistake to underestimate its extent and force. President Roosevelt's frank and vig orous approval in his message of the exclusion policy lias been effective for tunately in imposing silence upon most •jf the Republican organs which through the years have been strenuous n antagonizing it. To differ from the president and thus be out of harmony with what lie lias striven to incorporate is a feature of Ids party's programme would make too large a demand upon their courage. The sudden cessation of their denunciation of anticoolyism as "demagogic pandering to low race prej udice and class ignorance," while it does no honor to their independence, Is one proof of how substantial n service Mr. Roosevelt lias rendered the coun try. There seems to be every probability that congress will vote to keep up the bars against the Chinese, but it is not wise to trust too much in this outlook. It will lie judicious for the friends of the exclusion policy not to abate their zeal until actual victory has been won. We may be sure that the enemies of the policy will not sleep. These enemies are of two classes, only one of which is entitled to respect. We refer to those people, all residents of portions of the country free from the Chinese, who are without practical knowledge of the question and who feel that to forbid any race to come to us is to violate the American principle of equality and depart from the noble and generous tradition which makes this republic the refuge of the poor and oppressed of all nations. The answer to this wholly honorable argument of sentiment is that the first duty of every nation Is to itself, as ev ery man's first duty is to his own household, to which lie will not, In obe dience to the dictate of hospitality, ad mit persons who will contaminate his home. The objection to the Chinese is social as well as industrial. Industrially the Chinaman is a menace not only to the wage earner, but to the small manu facturer and merchant. When the Chi naman learns a trade and displaces a white worker, he sets up for himself and proceeds to displace the white em ployer, cutting wages and profits in the process. He lowers the standard of living, and that is good for no country. The experience of the Pacific coast, extending over half a century, fully en lightens anybody on the industrial as pect of the Chinese question who cures to take the trouble to inform himself of the facts. Socially the Chinaman is utterly in digestible. In race, habits, religion, ideals and wants he is at the poles from tlie white man. Unlike the Euro pean immigrant, he does not come to stay. He neither brings his family with him nor creates a family here. He cannot become part of the commu nity, but remains a si ranger and a for eigner, Impervious to the influences of our civilization. lie cannot he assimi lated, nor is it desirable that he should be unless we are ready to think with favor of Chinese husbands with white wives. To admit the Chinese is to in vite another race problem. One is more than enough. The other class of Chinese advocates employ the language of sentiment, but their real motive Is wholly selfish and sordid. They want cheap labor, first cheap Chinese labor and then the cheapening of white labor through Chi nese competition. They care nothing for the Interests of the American work ingmau and nothing for the interests of either the American republic or Christian civilization. The immediate interest of their own pockets is tlielr sole concern. In the presence of the Chinese problem, as in the presence of every other industrial and social ami political problem involving the welfare of the country, they stand for simple greed, which knows nothing of hu manity or patriotism. Their spirit is the narrow, the forbidding and sinister spirit of the criminal trusts. In battling for their own rights and demanding the continued exclusion of the Chinese the American workiiigmen are battling for the best and most per manent interests of all of us. for on the well being of labor the well being of the republic must always be founded.- New York Journal. Labor Situation In Germany. The most recent investigations into German labor conditions show the la bor situation growing worse. The Arbeits Markt, a newspaper, says there were 224 applicants for 100 vacancies in November as against 200 applicants for the same number of vacancies in October. It is estimated that at least 10.000 persons were present at the different meetings of unemployed which were held in Berlin the other day. The So cialist organ, the Yorwnrts, notes the fact that the men, as a rule, were morally and physically greatly superior to those who attended the meetings of the unemployed in 1803. Their quiet bearing showed that they had not lost hope, while the good clothing worn by most of them proved theiu to have pro vided In prosperous times for u period of depression. Everywhere the speeches were followed with the keenest ntten ldn, and a number of more or less So cialistic resolutions were unanimously carried. It was decided that, in view of the constantly increasing severity of the economic crisis, the ♦Prussian and Imperial authorities should be urged to take Immediate measures to relieve dis tress. The municipal authorities were requested to proceed at once with all contemplated building schemes and. in deed, to proceed with municipal work of every Liud.

It would be easy to explain Haw thorne's peculiar temperament after ! the modern fashion by reference to heredity and environment, says Paul , Elmer More in The Atlantic.

Probably, too, his native tendency was Increased j by the circumstances that surrounded his youth the seclusion of his moth j er's life, his boyhood on Lake Sebago, i where, as he says, he first got his ' "cursed habit of solitude/' and the OASTSRIA For Infants and Children.
