OW that the ashes of the Panama affair are being assiduously N raked over by Democratic leaders in the hope that some small ccal therefrom may be blown into the flame of opposition, there comes from General Rafael Reyes, President of Colombia, a statement calculated to give pause to the wheezihg Democratic bel- lows. General Reyes, who represented his country at Washington on a special mission after the acknowledgment of the Panama republic, and who ncw sends to the Colombian Congress his official mes- | sage concerning the same, arraigns the short-sighted policy of that body in its cutire dealings with the United States and declares that Colombia has no one but herself to blame for the loss of the isthmus pm\ mce. | “We must afimit,” reads President Reyes’ message, “that the ! United States Government had granted to us by way of compensa- tion in the Hay-Herran treaty much more than we had asked in the | memorandum of our Minister at Washington, which served as a: basis of that treaty. Comparing these two documents the United - s might well point to the generosity of its dealings with Co- ! lombia and obtain the public opinion of the civilized world in con- sidering as an indisputable fact that the obstinacy of our Govern- | ment the only real obstacle to the construction of the canal by | the United States.” This review of the case by the President of the republic which | has been held up by the Democratic press and Democratic speakers | as the innocent victim of spoliation and oppression by a stronger power certainly throws a new light upon affairs. General Reyes, one of the very few statesmen of the South American state worthy the name, and who was unalterably opposed to the grasping and| short-sighted policy of the Colombian Congress, now as head of the | nation places the onus of Colombia’s loss where the administration | ar Washington first placed it when Panama became recognized as an independent state. Under this new aspect of affairs our friends on the other side must fly in the face of Colombia itself when they continue to draw a political moral from the incident in question. Now we may enjoy the comedy of a general negation, not only of the official words of the President of the United States, but of the President of Colombia. The spectacle will have its instructive aspect likewise. | | Russian officials announce that the sending of another army corps to the front signifies the certainty of ultimate victory. When escape from utter annihilation at the hands of the Japanese is cred- ited as a victory to the Muscovite arms by the fond tacticians in St. Petersburg we may well understand the import of this latest boast.

I hate the female pedagogue who pores Over her grammar hourly, who explores All modes of speech, regardless of the sense, But tremblingly alive to mood and tense; Corrects her country friends and cannot hear Her husband solecize without a sneer. Thackeray also inveighs against wives who drive their husbands to find so- lace in the clubs, the fault being “yours forsooth, who are too intellectual to gou into the kitchen and too delicate to think about your husband's vie- tuals.” “Ill cooked joints and ill-boiled po- tatoes,” according to Smiles, “often put asunder those whom God.has joined in matrimony”; while “the misery of a whole life, nay of a whole series of lit- tle and big lives and subsequent ruin and suicide arose,” according to an- other wise man, “out of an obstinate practice of seeing a leg of mutton three days running in a respectable family.” A single note in the other direction is happily sounded by Jerome, who asks: “Who invented, the mischievous falsehood that the way to a man's| heart is through his stomach? How many a silly womanm, taking it for truth, has let love slip out of the par- lor while she was busy in the kitchen?" Does not the truth lie in a happy me- dium between these two extremes—a house neat and well managed in every respect, and yet all the wheels so weil greased that-they “go round” without calling the attention of the world to all the secrets of their solution? “I like to visit at Dick’s house,” said an old bachelor lately; ‘“everything is so mighty comfortable there, and yet Mrs. Dick doesn’t seem to be al- ways slaving. She must be a mana- ger.” After all, that is the secret. Headwork!

Since the home woman is the indis- pensable woman, it is a pity she so often allows herself to fail of her full development and reward, says Harper's Bazar. She is apt to be so unselfish and so conscientious that she lets the four walls of home narrow about her, and the simplest remedy is to have at least one outside interest. The woman who takes up one hobby, one charity, one line of work beyond her household cares, and follows it steadily, will find that it brings freshness and power with | it. It becomes both outlook and inflow to her. And the woman with a hobby grows old so slowly that she often never grows old at all, but keeps to the |- last that freshness of interest which ' Reason for It. g “Skorcher must be getting weak- minded,” said the first automcbilist. “I haven't mnoticed it,” replied the ther. | 7 "Werhy. he told me he stopped his auto once yesterday beem'a_n there was a pe- CTH T ellevs the —_— Everyday Philosophy Originate, originate more, al- ways originate; those who origi- nate are the pioneers of thought, who lead humanity to the prom- ised land.

Temporarily at least, it is the monarch of the starry sky. Not since the autumn of 1892 has it shone so brilliantly as at present, surpassing even Venus going down in the west as the great planet rises. On October 13, when our earth, speeding onward in its orbit, comes between the sun and Jupiter, the latter will not be many degrees past the point of its elliptical path nearest to the luminous central orb. The combined results of opposi- tion and of Jovian perihelion bring us within about 370,000,000 miles of Jupi- ter, which is 46,000,000 miles nearer { occurred, not far from the point of Jovian aphelion. 2 These opportune séasons recur at in- tervals of about twelve years, in which time Jupiter completes a revolution around the sun. On the last occasion, September, 1892, Professor Barnard dis- covered a fifth satellite with the 36- inch Lick refractor. Only a hundred miles in diameter, it goes around the planet twice a day, and was undis- covered heretofore, though since recog- nized in a few large telescopes. This great discovery may not be rivaled dur- ing the present season, but neverthe- less, the medium-sized and the small telescope, the opera-glass'and even the naked eye can be used with effect at the time of nearest approach. For tion will be as to the condition of the Jovian surface. Unlike the moon, Mars and our globe, the surface of Jupiter dition, though 'cooled self-luminous. The great size of the planet, which is 87,000 miles indiameter, would necessarily prolong the process of cooling beyond that of smaller bod- ies, while expansion, caused by flerce internal glows, would maintain the im- mense volume in contrast to its light mass, which is only 316 times that of the earth. Though sharply outlined, the colos- sal sphere is now regarded as a mass of heated vapor, nearer to the consis- tency of water than to that of air, of various densities, not only in the up- per strata, but at depths visible through its nearly liquefied substance. It may have no solidity even at its center. Such a body cannot be readily lik- ened to the crusted earth, with its shal- low, transparent atmosphere imme- thodically cloud-strewn. The coldness of space and sunlight affect the differ- ing densities of the Jovian surface more symmetrically and its tinted belts extend parallel to its equator, though rarely intruding on that brighter zone. Thus, to telescopic vision, Jupiter is a pale golden orb, oval in form and pro- fusely garlanded with crimson hues. The rapid rotation of the still plastic mass has compressed the polar diam-- eter to the extent of 5000 miles. Its tinted aspect may be due to alternate zones of different density, the belts be- ing translucent spaces of great depth, suffused with sunlight and reflecting only the red rays. Frequent changing in number and in form, their gnarled edges and their tendency to spotted- ness indicate that turbulent motion +—_—_—_T - NEW SHIRT WAIST FABRIC. J Fashions For shirt waists there’s a new fab- ric. It is the richest looking stuff, though it has not a thread in it that isn’t cotton. But it is mercerized cot- ton, and that makes all the difference in the world. The goods is very soft, heavy and rich looking, and of a handsome canvas or basket weave. This new stuff comes in a variety of plaids, about half of the surface of each being white. In one of these blue will predominate; in another red and in still another green, says an ex- change. These plaids come at a most oppor- tune time. A pleasing novelty is al- ways acceptable, and just now, when womankind is keeping her eyes open for something not entirely common- place for her winter shirt waists, it is particularly timely. One admirable feature of this fab- ric for the ubiquitous shirt waist is that it will require no trimming. And, in fact, the plainer it is the better it will look. This is very likely to be | the case with heavy goods, and as for plaids, we all know what ticklish things they are to trim. Well cut with a few plaits so laid as not to make ugly breaks in the pattern of | the plaid (this is an important item), this new stuff is certain to be fetching and to be a desirable addition to any woman's collection of cool and cold weather wear.* With a white collar and a plain silk tie a woman will be well dressed above the belt, at any rate. GLOVES. They must be clean. They are worn large. Try on very, carefully at first. Choose a soft, pliable leather. Too often cheap gloves are cheap. Be sure the fingers go in straight. Benzine is as good as any cleaner. Gloves are cleaned on the hand or form. Gleves to keep should be wrapped in tissue paper. o An expert says the cleaned glove should dry on the hand. STOCKINGS.

Accord- ing this skilled observer, sub- mergence is the explanation of such discrepancies, which in that case are only seeming. The accuracy attained is indeed more striking than the dis- cordance of the results. sSevond this visible surface there probably extends an enveloping atmosphere, as the disk has the sunlike feature of decreasing luster near the limb. Besides the end- less changes of its diversified surface, the interesting planet also varies the circuit of its’ satellite system by transits, eclivses and occultations. Some London observers have been re- cently discussing, rather skeptically, the visibility of the larger moons with- out magnifying power, which is, not surprising in a locality where fog and smoke obscure the skv. In the high Sierras they have been seen by Pro- fessor George Davidson and Prefessors Barnard and See have also been able to discern them at the altitude of Flagstaff; Ariz. The third and fourth satellites are about 3000 miles in diam- eter, and if the weather be clear near the date of opposition, October 18, this iuteresting - observation may be re- peated by keen sighted persons, espe- cially when Jupiter comes to the me- ridian. —_———————p !
