CAUSES OF INTERNATIONAL DISPUTES.By Baron Takahira.

r-t

_ A careful study of the internationala disputes establishes that they arisealmost as much, if not more, fromthe internal conditions of the coun-try affected as they do from the con-flict of outside Interests. It is a pe-culiar feature of such questions thatwhere they occur there are almostalways signs of disorder, retrogres-sion or misgovern ment.

In this respect political observationsomewhat resembles meteorologicalobservations. The rain comes down

uaiion takAliiaa. f n)U) where there are clouds. Inter-national disputes develop where there are undesirableconditions of life.

I do not, of course, mean to say that the less modernor the less organized States are in the wrong in all in-ternational questions. On the contrary, there are casesin which such countries deserve sincere sympathy; but itIs an undeniable fact that the less modern or the lessorganized States present more frequently a cause ofpublic anxiety on account of International disputes, andit may hr reasonably questioned whether the unsettledcondition they present, politically, economically or other-wist', does not frequently lead to such disputes.

MAN THE CREATURE OF ENVIRONMENT.By Ada May Krecker.

> 1 Even in the simpler, oven In the simplest,jvj matters, but let a pheuomonon recur or per-

iif sist and its results are foreordained to ram-ffjj Ify surprisingly and to waft unforeseen ef-jc/ fects into unexpected places. Of this theIf' everyday soot of an everyday city supplies

JL a case in point. Its influences on clothesand complexions and atmosphere and petty

J ease doubtless have been ventilated more orless by most dwellers in city tents beyond the belt of an-thracite. But if pursued by some of our Parisian psy-chologists and statisticians who revel in infinitesimalanalyses and who delight in adding to numbers goldennumbers, (he rr suits accruing from city smokefulnessmight acquire gigantic bigness. There might be tracedin the several members and organs of our bodies the dis-eases bred by the grime, and there might be discoveredu Chicago lung, a Pittsburg skin, a St. Louis eye.

From an enforced and prolonged absence of beauty ’tlsbut a step to the loss of taste and the esthetic sense. Buthere the psychologists take up the tale, averring, besides,that.somber hues make a somber man. They rate alldark hues as depressing, deadening, enervating, the lightand brilliant colors as energizing, vivifying, exalting.To the dark occult psychologists add the malignance of

hatred, selfishness, suspicion, jealousy, greed, and theirnearest of dreadful kin.

Those who live always amid sunshine and balmybreezes are readily crushed by the first outburst of storm,whereas the sterner hearts, destined to rise only in faceof difficulties dire and dangers, grow' a rude, robust ob-stinacy and forcefulness that stand their success in goodstead. So the Parisian may conclude that, albeit a sorryblight on our sunless cities, the smoke In divers timesand places has blown us some small measure of good.

WOMAN’S DISCOVERY OF HERSELF.By Rev. William Bustard.

' ■ One of the greatest discoveries of the pastaJ twenty-five years has been woman's discov-

h j ory of nerself. She has reached that stagewj where she knows she is not a doll, an angelr or a slave, but a woman, and claiming her

f rights and privileges.JL Once, to be born a girl was to be born a

jSKK nonentity: in this age to be born a girlmeans a bundle of possibilities, with a power

to influence the world for good or evil. Many young girlshave gone into commercial life, and they have gainedsuccess through punctuality, being industrious and mind-ing their own business. The woman who minds her ownbusiness is to be praised and respected. More girls gointo society.

The trouble with our American mothers nowadays isthat they try to fit their daughter only for her societyentrance. It is all right to be a society woman, but Itis better to be a woman in society. We are emphasiz-ing the word society too much and the word woman toolittle.

COLLEGE STUDENTS WASTE TIME.By Chancellor MacCracken.

“} Four years of intelligent, faithful work inJtij the average college gives a young man a de-fy elded advantage in the work of the profes-¥4 sioual school; four years of college, spent

Vf as the worst third of college students, es-W pecially in the largest colleges, prefer to

JL spend them, is worse than wasted. LordMSc Bacon wanted students to allot their time,

<riWci nV one-third to sleep, one-third to meals, recre-ation and prayers, and one-third to work.

Many college students, especially in the larger col-leges, prefer to amend the third division. Their allot-ment would be read thus; One-third to sleep, one-thirdto meals, recreation and prayers, meaning college prayers,when required, but Instead of the one-third for work,substitute one-third for athletics, college societies, col-lege politics, with just enough attention to the demandsof the faculty to keep the name of the student on the col-lege roll.

BETTER THAN BERRIES.

Harriet Ifosiner’M Delight When SliFirst Finds Modeling Clay.

An old school friend of the late Harriet Hosmer, the sculptress, has recent-ly related some interesting anecdotesof her childhood. Her first modelingit appears, came about through a blue-berrying expedition. “Hattie,” as shswas always called, had gone to the berry pastures with her foster brothelAlfred.

“They had tramped farther thatusual, when all of a sudden Ilatthstumbled upon a big clay bank. It wasjust as if she’d been looking for it ather life. Out went all the berries froirher nearly full pail, and into the pal!went big double handfuls of the softclay.

“Then she fairly rushed home, saidown on the back doorstep, and thenmodeled her first figure, a representa-tion of the little, shaggy yellow dogwho was at that time her chiefesttreasure. After that she never forgo!the clay bank.

“Why, when she was at boardingschool with the rest of us she madscasts of all our bands, and they werebeautiful. She did one of Mrs. Sedgwick’s, I know—she was our head mistress—and I remember that Mrs. Sedg-wick said it was ‘truly exquisite,’ andwound it all over with the soft, smoothsilver paper she used for her flnesllaces.”

In a day when the athletic, outdooigirl was yet unknown, Harriet Hosmeragainst all convention, at the impera-tive call of a free nature, rode, swampaddled, hunted, fished, climbed, tramp-ed, and studied nature—to the horroiand dismay of the excellent housewivesof her town.

“You should have seen her collec-tions,” said her old friend. “She hadbugs and beetles, squirrels, rabbits andbiids, and even an old fat woodchuckthat she had shot and wounded herselfWe girls could never see how she coulddo It—the things are so—so smelly—-and unpleasant.”

Even when her study of her art hadtaken her to Rome, among fellow artists and great folk who praised heiand made much of her, she yet kep!cue relic of these happy days, oddl.ttucked in amid the clay and tools andglistening marbles of her studio. IIwas an old. dilapidated crow’s-nest, theprize of a daring climb, reduced to decorous service as a darning basket.

Beads.Apropos of beads, etymologists tel!

us the word comes from the rosarieswhich from time immemorial have beerused to keep count of prayers, for “biddan” is to pray In the old Angle Saxortongue, and “beadsman” is one employed to pray for others. “Beodan,” tcproclaim, is a kindred word and hasits outcome in the “bidding prayer” o)our universities, when pious founder!are remembered to the edification mgraceless undergraduates and In tht"bidding” of an auction room, when onproclaims to what price one is willingto go. The tiny balls of wood or pear'or seeds or gems strung together for tinpurpose of counting prayers are useeby Hindoo worshipers of Buddha, bjGreeks, by Persians, by Roman Catholies. And from those prayer chapletsthe word has passed to mean anjpierced round ornament.—Modern So-ciety.

WHICH WAS RIGHT?

See If You Can t'ntnnf(le the Knotsin This Problem.

A young man named Enathlus de-sired to leant eloquence and art ofpleading, and he bargained with Pro-tagoras, the ancient Greek sophist, forinstructions, agreeing to pay one-halfof the fee down and the other half onthe first day he gained a case. Ittook the young man so long to learnthat his tutor came to the conclusionthat he was delaying his start in busi-ness to avoid paying the other half ofthe fee, so Protagoras sued him for themoney.

When the case came up for trial Pro-tagoras said to the young man: “Youact most absurdly, young man, becauseIn either case you must pay me. Ifthe judges decide against you, youmust pay. and if tney decide for youyou must pay, for you will then havegained your case.”

“You are wrong.” replied the youngman. “I will win either way. if thejudges are for me, I will not have topay. and if they are against me I willnot have to pay. for this last was thevery bargain between us—namely, if Idid not win my case.”

The judges considered the case In-explicable, and as they could not seetheir way to any decision they adjourn-ed the case to a day that never camefor any of the principals. On Prota-goras’ side it was a case of losing whenhe won and on the yo mg student's sidewinning when he lost.

Taking the Privilege*.The public in general will sympa-

thize with the young woman who saidthat of all her experiences of hotel lifethe head waiter was the hardest to liveup to. Who has not qualified beforethe hauteur of the porter or the offi-cial? The following, taken from theWashington Star, shows that others,in a higher walk of life, might like toadopt some of the traditional char-acteristics of domestic or clerk.

-Remember,” said the patriot, “thatso long as you hold public office youare a servant of the people, a plainservant.”

‘Great Scott!” answered the subur-ban resident, who had just been elect-ed. “Can I act as haughty and over-bearing and take as many holidays asall that?”

In the old times the thirsty soul—orbody—solaced Itself with plain wateror with lemonade. The chief variationupon tlfls was Iced tea and once In awhile Iced coffee. These were the onlybeverages open to the drinker of tem-perance habits. We have Improvedupon that sort of thing and have in-troduced “soft” punches, in which ourold friend, lemonade, while still serv-ing as a foundation, would not recog-nize Itself. Tea, too, is metamorphos-ed, although hardly improved, andother mixtures of which we did notdream in earlier days are taken as amatter of course. The house where the

pleasantest welcome and the best andmost refreshing thirst-quenchings areoffered Is likely to be the one to whichthe young people will flock, and weneed not fear that our boys and girlswill wander off to undesirable associa-tions while they know that good things,both spiritual and physical, await themat home. None of the drinks given be-low contains liquor of any sort.

Iceil Tea Punch.Make Iced tea and turn It into a

punch bowl, on a big lump of ice. Addto a quart of the strong tea a table-spoonful of lemon Juice, a bottle ofapollinarls water and sugar to taste.Cut thin slices of lemon and let themfloat on the surface of the punch.When they are in season a few straw-berries or cherries or a bit of pine-apple may be added. Ladle out anddrink in tumblers.

Orange Sherbet.Peel and squeeze eight large oranges

and two lemons. Put the Juice of theoranges Into a bowl with a small cupof granulated sugar. After It has stood10 minutes, and the sugar is well melt-ed. add a tablespoonful of minced pine-apple, and after standing a few min-utes longer pour upon a block of ice ina punch bowl. Just before servingturn in a quart of apollinarls.

Iced Coffer.Make your coffee clear and strong,

and add to It plenty of cream and nomilk The best plan Is to have theclear coffee In a pitcher and add creamand sugar as It is needed. To thosewho have never tried It let me say thatthere are many worse drinks on a hotday than good, clear coffee, served withplenty of ice and without cream orsugar. But the coffee must be of thebest and freshly made—not the left-overs of the breakfast beverage.

OUTSIDE WORK COSTS PLACES.

Government Clerks with “Side Lines”Are Dropped from Service.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 10.—Government clerks must give their un-divided services to Uncle Sam. Theyare not to be permitted to do any out-side work. This policy may be an-nounced after the experience of severalyoung clerks in this city, who have beenrequested to resign.

It has been a common practice here atheadquarters for aspiring clerks to at-tend night colleges, and, after securingdiplomas, practice professions after officehours. These so-called “sundown” doc-tors, dentists, lawyers, architects, eta.,were able materially to increase theirincomes. Protests were made by regu-lar members of various professions, com-plaining of the unfair competition of the“sundowners,” who cut prices.

Following instructions from the Presi-dent notice has been served upon all civilservice employes that those who resignto take up political work during thepresent campaign will not be reinstatedafter election day.

Hoasked first one and then another, butthe foreigners apparently did not under-stand their own language. At last, insheer disgust, he tore a leaf out of hispocketbook, wrote upon it the name ofhis hotel, and silently presented it totho next passerby. The man looked athim compassionately, beckoned him tofollow, and without a word they pro-ceeded up one street and down another.Finally the wanderer saw the door ofhis hotel, and forgetting in his relief andgratitude all the difficulties of tho lan-guage, ho turned to his companion andsaid. “Thank you very much.

Desert Cures for Snake Bites.The rattlesnake has a part all his own

in the desert practice of healing. Rattle-snake oil cures rheumatism and thostiffened joints a man gets working downin a wet mine; the oil rubbed in thoears cures deafness, aud a rattlesnakeskin, tanned soft and supple as chamoisand worn around the waist, will keep aman well on the hardest trip—but thedust from the rattles will cause blind-ness which nothing will cure.

There is a plant which the rattlesnakefears—he will not crawl across it, and ifit is dropped on him he uncoils andcrawls away. Perhaps this is only a bitof myth, but every desert man knowsthe golondriua—the creeping plant withtiny, round, gray green leaves and mi-nute white blossoms with a brown cen-ter.

“Rattlesnake weed” grows in the lit-tle open spaces from the pines to thowhite sand hills that shift back andforth iu each year's wind. The loavespounded into a wet mass are bound ona snake bite, and the victim, man oranimal, is given huge draughts of thebitter, dark tea, into which the wholeplant is steeped. The golondriua tea isused as a liniment for rheumatism 100,and the Mexican women know that itdyes cotton cloth an enduring purplishblack.

If the golondriua is too far to findthere is another desert cure for anysnake bite—a cure well enough attestedand one with which many an Indian hasfought bullet wound and saber cut andmastered incipient blood poisoning. Theleaves of any Hat leaved opunta, butespecially the common prickly pear, arethrown on a campfire till the thorns aresinged off and the skin puffs up in wa-tery blisters, then split open and boundhot on the wound. So many a packmule has been restored to place iu thetrain and many a limb that a physicianwould have amputated has been savedto do its owner good service on deserttrails.—Out West.

She says:“Having lived for five years in N.

Dak., I have used considerable coffeeowing to the cold climate. Asa resultI had a dull headache regularly, suf-fered from indigestion, and bad no‘life’ in me.

“I was known as ‘the pale girl’ andpeople thought I was just weakly.After a time I had heart trouble andbecame very nervous, never knew whatit was to be real well. Took medicinebut it never seemed to do any good.

“Since being married my husbandand I both have thought coffee washarming us and we would quit, only tobegin again, although we felt it wasthe same as poison to us.

“Then vve got some I’ostum. Well,the effect was really wonderful. Mycomplexion is clear now, headachegone, and I have a great deal of energyI had never known while drinking cof-fee.

“I haven’t been troubled with indi-gestion since using Postum, am notnervous, and need no medicine. Whave a little girl and boy who bothlove Postum and thrive on it andGrape-Nuts.”
