yf pack srs AWAYWifHMONEY lapanese Idea of a Paradise of Peace, j! \ Claim Made That Complete Abolition of "Filthy Lucre" Would Promote Equality in Public Life of Mankind?Ticket System Urged. We will make here n suggestion which furnishes us n method to prevent the uppearanee of the rich, and vert the consequent result of the difference between rich and poor. The suggestion consists of the entire disuse of the money over the world, in k order to give the struggle for existence a check, to make away with the difference of rich and poor, and tints to promote pence and equality In the public life of mankind. It Is through the medium of the tnop.ey that wealth Is accumulated, and the accumulation entails the difference of rich and poor, with Its resultant Struggle for existence. This state of things Is most undesirable. The end of mankind Is not to he proud of Individual talent or ability. om to co-enjoy the peace of the world. Just as In a family, and any cause which brings about any inequality In public life must be radically eliminated. It Is for this reason thnt we dnre to suggest the disuse of the money to prevent tho difference of rich and poor. What crafty fellow ever produced the money for use In human life? Of course, nationalization of various valuables, such as gold, silver, Jewels, etc., phall be Implied In the disuse of the piouey and their ownership by Individuals be prohibited. Such valuables retain their values only when they are psed ns a means of Inequality, but will Jpe nothing more than those pebbles on the road when equality 's to he prevalent. They may have some value In fflvlag us a good feeling on account pf their elegance, then they may he -x. > uwtMi, unner punnc ownership, for the .decoration of shrines, temples, churches, hulls, and rnnnv other like buildings to the common pleasure of "the public at large. Most complicated troubles may arise Trom the adjustment of properties after the enforcement of the disuse of the money. With the proposed suggestion mines, railroads, ships, electric nd gas plants, waterworks, and many other properties essential to the common Interest of n nation shall he transferred to the natlonnl ownership, not to say of the nationalization of land, and they shall he equally compensated for, as for the confiscation of money and several bonds, with a kind of registration bond newly Issued for the purpose, which should have the characteristic of temporary transitional toeans until an Improved feature -snakes its appearance 'n a new society. } In ether regards Individuals may he permitted to retain their own property, personal and real, and maintain their professions or occupations. Transactions shall he carried on hy the exchange of kind In kind, or barter. But as barter Is too Inconvenient to he enforced, a ticket system may be taken ./or the remedy of this defeat. As has been stated, our Ideal disuse of the money does not admit any accumulation of wealth, and so the tickets shall be given each a certain period of time, say 10. 20, .10 years or more, during which they can he In use, and after which their circulation censes. " When this Is accomplished, there can be no more complaints, no more dissatisfactions, no more contradictions, and no more misunderstandings, .and the world will he reorganized Into paradise of pence.?SeiJIro Kowaahlma in Dal Nippon.

Po you know the real reason why Joseph's brethren hated him and sold hlni to a band of Ishinnelltes and into slavery, and after first deciding to slay him? You remember the story in denesis?which, by the way. Is the most Interesting book in the Bible?that Joseph's father gave him a "coat of many colors." I The father did not Rive the other brothers oonts of many colors, for, as stated In the story, he loved him more than the others. Now here is the real reason Joseph was hated: "A coat of many colors" of that time, in the land of Canaan and ndJoinlng civilizations, was a badge of Idleness. The sleeves of a coat of many colors came down almost to the finger tips to indicate that the wearer did no manual labor. As late as the French revolution In Europe, and even In our Colonial time here in America, certain gentlemen wore lace on their coat sleeves that covered their hands, thereby Indicating that so far as they were con corned there was "nothing doing" In the way of actual work.?Cottrell'a Magazine. FAMOUS OLD MIDDLE TEMPLE Hlstorio London Edifice Contains Aotual Stage on Which Shakespears Acted Before Queen Elizabeth. The hnll of the Middle temple, London, contains a table made from a tree . presented by Queen Elizabeth. The top Is '10 feet long and 3 Inches thlek and forms "the high table" for the Eetichers of the Inn. The dais on 1 which it stands Is at the western end of the hull, and on the actual floor boards of this platform Shakespeare performed "Twelfth Night" for the entertainment of "the Virgin Queen," who opened the hall In ir>72. The eastern end of the hall Is occu iucu ny a mngnincent carved screen, finished In 1T>74, the upper part of which forms the Minstrels' gallery. The walls of the hall are paneled to a great height, and both the pnnels nnd windows above are richly emblazoned with the coats of arms, dating from the sixteenth century, of legal luminaries, members of the Inn. Among them may be observed the arms of Sir Wulter Raleigh, Pepys nnd of the present lord chancellor and the present lord chief Justice of England. Portraits by Vandyk, Lely, Kneller and Murray, together with suits of well-preserved armor, greatly add to the murul adornment of this historic edifice. Heroic Red Cross Doctors. Few incidents will stir Americans with more Justified satisfaction than the conduct of two American doctors at Annel, an outpost of Cnmpiegne, on the night of March 2.". The patients of their hospital had been evacuated in*> preceding night. The French surgeons and nil the nurses were gone. The Hermans were within n half-dozen kilometers and advancing. Heavy artillery, set In the hospital grounds, made a terrific din. But the American ambulance sections kept on coming to Anne! Chateau. They did not know where else to go. Two Red Cross doctors. Major Tnrnowsv and Major Morehead, stayed on In the deserted chateau. Two canteen women volunteered from Compelgne. The two doctors kept on operating, the canteen women handing them Instruments and dre. ?lngs, the Bed Cross truck drivers holding candles and bringing In and carrying out the wounded. A day and a night and a second day the two doctors operated. The crisis passed. The regular attendants returned, the rou tine was resinned. Not Too Tired to Fight. Among the cheering anecdotes Elizabeth Shepley Sergeant reports In an article on the present French-American offensive, none rnlse more sanguine hopes of allied victory than this: Somewhat over a month ngo a French general encountered an American colonel of Infantry below ChateauThierry. "How long hnve your men been on the march?" asked the general. "Thirty-six hours." "Then of course they are too tired to go In." "Not at all?they'll go right In." "Can you stop the Germans?" "Certainly we can stop them." It was thus that an American Infantry regiment and live batteries of nrtillery were thrown st might across the road from Metz to Purls.

Adopt Aspitone, the New Tablet in Which All Heart Depressing Qualities Are Counteracted by Heart Toning Agents Physicians and druggists w ho havo kept up with recent discoveries in medical science are now intro during to their patients and customers the new pain relieving tablet called Aspitone, which does not depress the heart and circulation. They explain that headaches and neuralgias as well as colds and grippe unusually attended by a fatigued heart and circulation and that it is dangerous at such times to use coal tar derivatives. In fact they are cla tiling that all the coal tar derivatives are positively dangerous. even to strong hearts. They say that many sudden deaths have resulted front taking them and that there is no longer any excuse for taking them except under the watchful care of a physician. It is explained that Aspitone is not a coal tar derivative, but is coinposed of vegetable elements, which relieve the pain of headaches, neuralgia. toothache, rheumatism, colds, grippe, etc., at the same time supporting the heart. It is predicted that Aspitone will take the place of the cod tar de-ivativos.

Officers In Germany are supposed to have a feeling almost of sacredness about their swords, and I think, In point of fact, officers In most countries have. I have been told that If any officer loses his sword by force ho loses his commission as an officer. I do not vouch for this statement I was told about the penalty for losing a sword ninny years before the war. In Dresden, to excuse an officer whom I saw behave In the most brutal manner. He was on the back platform of an old-fashioned street car which was going very fast. Some man In the street ran and tried to Jump on the car. and In taking hold of the rail got hold of the handle of the officer's sword. Without the slightest feeling as to whether the man would be seriously hurt or not, the officer bent and pounded this man's hands until he was forced to let go and drop into the Street.

Many of the native customs mentioned by "Merrljral" as Samoan or Melaneslan seem to be observed all over the western Pacific, the Sydney (Australia) Bulletin says. The extreme deference to the chiefs was practiced by the Maoris and FlJIans particularly. In Papua the Trobriand natives are the only tribe with any regard for the claims of high descent. They never stand In n chief's presence, much less walk past him. The cnstom of placing a stone In a leaf on a path as a "no thoroughfare" sign is common In Papua. /\ mvnnie trioit there Is to knot a vino or long grass across the tracks as n warning to go back.

I WHERE TAXES ARE UNKNOWN1 i 1 8ome Few Places on Earth's 8urfact That Would Seem Ideal 8pots In Which to Locate. In those days of expensive llvtnf what a boon to live in a city without i taxes! Hut there are such places. There Is Orson In Sweden. Thll municipality has Its ordinary city expenses, hut It Imposes no tnxes. More over, the local railway Is free to everj citizen and there Is no charge for tele phone service, schools, libraries and the like. All this Is due to the wisdom of s former generation, who planted tree! on all the available ground, with the result that during the past thlrtj years the town authorities have sold $5,000,000 worth of young trees and timber, while judicious replanting* have provided for a similar Income in the future. Then there Is Mourtnnlon, In the Midi, France. Ilcre not only are there no inxes, nut tno Umbers on the communal lands are sufficient to grant each person a small annuity. Nearer home we have the island of Innlshtnurray, off the west coast of Ireland. Here there are no taxes, simply because the fourteen fnmllles who live on the Island resolutely refuse to pay.

I The military genius of Bonaparte Is K still a fruitful theme for discussion. In , the early pnrt of his enreer he achieved such successes br made hlR name a j terror to Europe, and pained for hlro ? a prestige which a series of contlnu- . ous and overwhelming defeats In the . latter part of his history was unable j, to destroy. But In the game of war, ^ results alone can form the Criterion, ( and the victories of Marengo, AuRter- f lltz and Wagram can scarcely be ad- r mltted in compensation for the blun- r ders of the Russian campaign and the n overthrow at Waterloo. B One qualification of a great general n was conspicuous In his character, the ^ capacity of recognizing and rewarding B merit In whatever position It might be n found. Favoritism was almost nn- r known In his army. He was of a cold- f blooded temperament, engrossed ex- n cluslvely by the mast^r-passlon. ambl- f tlon, and the very cause which kept ? his moral purity Inviolate made him f almost Insensible to the promptings of t love and affection.

The con- a stellntlon la conspicuous In early summer in the skies of the southern TTnIt ed States, where the whole of the mng nlflcent tall clears the horizon. With the Chaldeans and Creeks It extended ' over one sixth of the plnnetarv circle, the Scorpion being represented with exaggerated claws enihracing a clrcu- ( lar space where Libra is now placed. From this Irregularity It may be Inferred that the constellation Is older than the zodiac, which was formed hefort' 2000 B. C. I.lhra, though Inter, Is of no small antiquity, since it appears in the Egyptian zodiacs. Its adoption by Julius Caesar In his calendar made It familiar. Ptolemy, however, though living In Egypt nearly two centuries later, follows Babylonian and Check astronomers In covering the place of Libra with the Scorpion's claws. Tecumaeh'a Bone* Unearthed.

MGID RULES OF POLITENESS Continental Countries Carry Forms of 8alutatlon and Courtesy to What 1 We Consider Extremes. In all continental countries men lift heir hats when saluting one another. | t Is also customary for them to un- j over their heads on entering any kind if private premises, Including offices, ind In some parts even banks. It was, until recently, considered exremely rude for a ninn In Poland to ?nter even a shop without removing lis hat, and It was not unusual for a ustomer who omitted this formnllty o be told that he would he attended o when compliance with the demands >f politeness should entitle him to the ihopkeeper's consideration. It was inly a few years before the war that his practice came gradually to he ihandoned. The reform was largely lue to the action of the more Importint tradespeople In the principal owns, who exhibited notices In their thops saying, "Gentlemen are requested not to remove their hats." In Poland and Russia visitors are sxpected to leave In the hnll not only their goloshes, hut hat, coat, and stick ?s well, no matter how short their stay. Clients calling on professional men are expected to do the same. Important Scientific Discovery. The use of water holding fine sand In suspension Is a novel plan for separating materials of different specific gravity. A chemical solution of a density somewhat greater thnn that of the lighter material has served In the] laboratory, hut this has been commercially unsatisfactory on account of the cost of the chemicals and the difficulty of removing them from the substances separated. The mechanical mixture containing sand held up In water by agitation has been found to take the place of the true solution of the same density. It is stated that with quarts sand and water, coal may be freed from Its ordinary Impurities, and magnetic Iron ore sand gives a fluid of sufficiently high specific gravity to float quartz, limestone and feldspar, while such heavy particles as those of galena ore or metallic copper may be used for fluids to float off still heavier solids.
