VYashington is notoriously the place above all others where the least 13 known of theaetual public sentiment of the country, says the Philadelphia Times. It makes itself felt there eventually, but it is always the noisy shOutcrs that are heard first, and an experienced Congressman does not at tech too much importance to the dis— patches he receives from constituents eager to bring themselves to his at- tention. We believe that those Congressmen wh I suppose that the people of the lilited States are loudly clamoring for ii: r are quite mistaken. They are de- 2: Lnding firm and decided action at I JIS time with reference to Cuba and l hat they may expect. But if any con- siderable part of them are anxious to fight for the mere sake of fighting, ir- respective of the time or purpose, they are mainlythose who expect to contrib- ute little to the cause. Of course the correspondents who have got their war paint on cannot ap- preciate this distinction. Any one who would rather see Cuba free without further suffering and loss, if it can be accomplished, they regard as a mean and sordid spirit who has probably been bought by Spanish gold. They are more than half inclined to] suspect the President’s patriotism, since he seems so anxious to be sure he’s right before he goes ahead. Fortunately, the President and those around him have a better sense of their responsibilities and probably a better understanding of what the county real- ly expects of them. It is a strange thing, in an enlightened country, that sober statesmanship should be distrust- ed and abused. But we live in a some W hat hysterical age and Washington is often a somewhat hpyterical centre. at least among those who have no respon- aibility. ~—- ———10’0_>——— ———-.————— Greater New York. New York, the greater, appears to have been rather fresh in entering up- on some of those metropolitan improvc- ments that have excited the admiration and envy of less progressive cities There are the new bridge over the East river and the line new Public Library, and .some splendid extensions of the magnificent park and boulevard system in the upper end of the island and a great- many other improvements that have been started. All these are to be paid forgby loan. It is now dis— covered that the amount of loans al- ready authorized exceeds the constitu- tional limit by a trifle of thirty millions or more and the Comptroller in going to issue no more bonds. It is thought that this discovery has been made in order to stop the plans of the Rapid Transit Commission, that has proposed a subway plan to which -Platt and Croker are opposed- -natur- ally because it would compete with ex- isting railways. Much discontent is expressed. but it is not easy to see how Tammany is to be blamed for not mak- ing any -1nore illegal debt, even if it does tie up needed improvements. AAm ‘ 7 Feminine Chat. Since the talk of war the demand for woolen socks has perceptibl y increased. While the law may not descend to the details of individual life there is an 'f-Iundeniable showing by the history of life that “tit for tat” is the rule of the universe. . It is to be hoped that April will fool as and belie herself before she is dead or there will have to be new openings at all the shOps and fur and wool will oust gauze and linen. A lucky thing that tastes vary; that lemons as well as oranges are in de- mand; that the curves of youth or the more pensive lines of fruition in wom- en’s faces both find their special ad- mirers. Everything is conditional; to the per- son whose eyes magnify,an inch seems twice as long as to him who sees small. There are indications that right and wrong are measured by some such mov- able scale, and with more or less jus- tice, too. 4 ‘5 Spiritualism, mesmerism and all the other isms will undoubtedly be reduced to. law and order seine day, but the b l cause of the change in the wind of af- , fection that makes the weathercock to veer from due north to south will re- main 3 mystery forever. ' Men are good at revenge—they have so many ways of prompt action—but, while she must- wait long perhaps, a woman is the best hater if once wronged, and if before death her day comes she strikes. AAm ‘ CHILDREN OF THE POOR. Transplanting Them to Better Homes in theWest. It may not be known that the ship- ping of the children of the poor of New York to the homes of the west is an industry of forty-five years’ sta 11d- ing; and as conducted by Charles boring Brace of the Children's Aid SOOiety, one of the noblest philan- lfihrapies of modern times. His work, by means of lodging houses for home- less children, with shipment to prairie homes (never to cities) cit-terminated the “Topsy” child in New York—“by which was meant the waif with no place to sleep——and perceptibly check- ed and finally decreased juvenile crime. In the thirty-nine years in [Which Brace was the moving spirit of xthe aid society, it placed 84.318 poor city children in “safe country homes.” Children are still coming west—some- times by the trainload. Farmers. idrive twenty and even thirty miles; "all the mothers in town go to the town mall, or wherever the exhibit may be, ito see and inspect the little travelers. TBut they are placed in homes only af— ter wise precautions to secure their welfare. Local committees are form- ed in the villages and towns on which leading men and women serve. They receive the children; they consider the applications; they are responsible for the happiness and progress of the little ones. Finally agents from the New York institutions visit the homes to see that al-l is well. Itis stated byex- perts that from 75 to 90 per cent. of applications for children are not worthy of consideration. The appli- cants want, not a child .to love and bring up, but a drudge, or perhaps something worse. The Brace answer to this sort of thing is “Not your need, but the child’s need." The success of child-saving on this order has been wonderful. It has shattered old nationsof the part hered- ity plays in destiny. “We can think," wrote Mr. Brace before .his death, “of little Five Points thieves who are now ministers of the gospel or honest farmers; vagrants and street children who are men in professional life, and women who, as teachers or wives of good citizens, are everywhere respect— ed; the children of outcasts or un- fortunates whose inherited tendencies have been met by the new environ~ ment and who are industrious and de- cent members of society.” Governor Burke of North Dakota is one of them, dispatched forty years ago-t0 an In- diana farm home. It is seriously stalk ed that 90 per cent. of these children sent west make good citizens. Those who disappoint are the older one-~the secret is to get slum children into good homes at an early age. The average is nine years; and 14 per cent. are under five; and 44 per cent. from five to ten years. The boys and girls who haunt the slums until they are twelve or fifteen years old are the ones who prove troublesome in the new environment. Birds Made m 0611‘". The Japanese are ruthless in their tampering with nature. If they (le— ci-d-e that they want a bird or an ani- mal of a certain shape or color they set about manufacturing the article, so to speak, by the exercise of exceed- ingly clever ingenuilr and untirlng patience. Here, for example, is how the white sparrows are produced. Thgy select a pair of grayish birds and keep them in a. white cage in a white room, where they are attended by a person dressed in white. The mental effect on. aseries of generations of birds results in completely white birds.— Rural World. "in First [mute-Onion. Little 4-year-old Willie was visiting his grandparents in the country.

Too frequent desire to urinate 01‘ pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT TO Do. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef- fects f0 lowing use of liquor, wine or beer. and overcomes that ' unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urin- ate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have 3 the best.
