Exeter Advocate, 1907-03-21, Page 2CURRENT TOPICS. A perplexing question has arisen to dieterb the French chamber of deputies. It is proposed to impose a lax of $2 a year on upright pianos, of $4 u year on herizoatal planes, and $20 a year on grand organs. It was assumed in France —a most artistic country --that this would be a movement in the direction both of revenue and of art. Tho (list objection raised was that the fax was un- democratic, since It "struck an instru- ment of labor." Temporarily this objec- tion made a profound impression. But it might be argued that aside from the revenue aspect of the case this is an excellent argument in favor of the tax, since it is a distinct advance along the lines of art to abolish the piano as an Instrument of labor. The labor features of piano playing, the foot exercise of the mechanical Instrument and the merciless thumping of the protesting school girl and chord pounder, are essentially the nuisances that should be kept rigorously within bounds. If is conceded also that a "horizontal piano," so-called, under com- petent physical manipulation, will snake just twice as much noise a.s an upright. while the great organ similarly handled produces five limes the din caused by the larger piano. (pence the varying and discriminating tax. And it is equally plain that as only persons of large wealth can own grand organs, while well-to-do people possibly procure such horizontal pianos as baby and parlor and concert grands, the minimum tax should be imposed on the poorer classes that must Le content with the modest up- right. What is Iruo of Paris may bo true of other cities and towns. The piano, whe- ther employed as an instrument of artistic pleasure or of manual or papal labor, has not contributed much to muni- cipal revenues or in any way atoned for its misdeeds. However It may bo es- ttemed by the assessor, it Is held in tri- vial regard by its owner the minute it is considered as a taxable asset. And in- asmuch as there are few families so re- duced in circumstances as not to acquire a piano of one description or another, mud this without reference to personal musical attainments, it follows that ark will be served and noise will be appre- ciably diminished by a lax that puts a restriction on inordinate pleasure and a penally on an uncompromising nuisance. Thal it would diminish the stock of pianos In perilously unmusical quartet:s is a consideration that should operate in favor of the lax. Thus it Is that the workings of the French law will be watched with lively interest and that the expected benefi- cences will stimulate n spirit of emula- tion in other countries. A piano is a filming or a plague and a ferment ac- cording to conditions. But whether it is employed for genuine artistic ailvaico- ment, for vain ostentation, or as a mentis of ruffling the neighborhood its posses- sion is worth 82 or more annually for the gn atificallon of the varying emotions. To France, ever forward in the cause of art, we continue to look for practical suggestions and example. NEW SPRING HATS. New straw model are as conspk'uous for (heir ostrich plumes as oven the winter hats. and some of the most effec- tive exuntpies of headgear aro carried ut in binek chip, black c'rin, ns it is called, or horsehair, or flee black straw, trimmal with ostrich tips. Thcy are many times kept all binck, being trim- med a ith black taffetas or rnolines and with long, sweeping dead black plunics. A pretty hat in black crinoline has pale blue taffeta folded closely around the low crown and a big how of black taffeta under the brine at the hack. This big bow, by the way, seeming In rest on the hair, Is a feature of the spring ' els and is the most popular form of cache peigne. In This tial (here are four black feathers set to one side, Iwo short and two long, the long ones dropping to the shoulder. A cluster of small pink macs is set at the starting point of the pinnies. Stew excellent effects are obtained from shaded lealhers, and there, are several schemes in which one long and heavy ostrich feather runs straight back over the centre of the crown of the lint anti fells low on the hair at the back. \\'bile and amber hats ar, prominent.

HARRIMAN The Real Joy .of Living Found in Purity of Heart Above all that is to be guarded, guard thy heart, for out of it are the issues of life.-1'roverles iv., 23. The scientist has no difficulty with this text, for to him the heart seems 10 be lir very n►airi<spring of kfk ltwl de- licate machinery that pumps the blood into tete_ arteries and sends it coursing through the body. But the' text conies h eighted with a strange philosophy when taken in a spiritual sense. Or- dinarily men guard the mind, the think- ing proses.., to keep it free from error and false judgment. They forget that the heart ripens be- fore the mind, That the child feels, loves, before it thinks. Throughout life our emotions are engaged before thought has aroused itself. In fact, we think what we feel. We are slaves of our master—the heart. Guard the heart of the young child rand do not with coldness, indifference 'tr harshness crush nut of its early life that Simple, natural sublime love for the true, THE BEAUTIFUL. AND GOOD. Leave not that tender heart to the mer- cies of a stranger—good nurse though ahe be—but be yourself to it like a good God, nourishing, strengthening, cheer- ing its sweet and hungry soul. Binet its heart to yours by (he tcytdtrls of love. and when it is grown strong It will spread out its foliage of affection over you in your old ago. The adult shall also guard his own heart—in order to conserve the highest life. The practical world is barren of sentiment, and therefore It 1s warped and dwarfed. '1'o lust after the great things is 10 meet disappointment. But to love a faded flower, an old picture. a select poem, a leiter of bygone days —to steal away from the maddening crowd and feast one's eye.s upon a love token. hallowed by sweet memories— that is to broaden uid deepen the soul. I.et the tears come; they ure as medi- cine to tete heart—just as the rain' is nourishment to the soil. Presently the smile of contentment, like a ray of sun- shine, will dL,pe1 the clouds and life appear serene and happy and a great peace will be distilled over you out of heaven. Nor is This nurt'ire of the heart al'o. gell:er selfish. Sentiment and love must find somclhing— SOMEONE TO FLED ON. The well kept heart exhales a sympathy that goes mut to the forlorn and lonely and needy and tills up their lives with sunshine. And, in a sense, the heart of man con- ditions the destinies of the world. Pure intellect never reformed mankind. fl is mind run to heart; intellect melted into feeling, and thus turned into con- viction that has set men aflanne with righteous Indignation 8i ainst wrong and with a holy enthusiasm for the truth and pure right. What armies could not do, what violence and bloodshed oeuld never accomplish, the preacher, the prophet, the man "intoxicated with God" has effected. His heart was in his work . and it lives.

Do not stir the rice, but shake. occasionally. Serve very hot with grated cheese or slices ut hard-boiled egg. Make Preserved Ginger thus : i'Inee the quantity of root ginger you require Into boiling water every night and morn- ing for fifteen days. 'Then remove the outside with a sharp knife. (toil the ginger in water till quite tender, and cut in lengths. Prepare a ,syrup of ono pound of sugar to half a pint of water, clarify it and put in the ginger. 11o11 till till clear.

For seasoning soups always use the whole spices and pepper, putting them in atter It has boiled up aryl been skimrned, To renovate black silk, sponge with strong cold tea to which a little hart- shorn or atutnenia huts lawn added, then iron the wrong side with a moderately hot iron. When laking cake: the oven door should be opened as little as possible and not touched until the cakes have been in the oven for len minutes. Never take the cake out of the oven, or even draw to the edge for testing purposes until it has risen nicely and appears to be nearly done. Condensed milk will be useful for pud- dings and cold shapes such as cLJocolate, coffee or cocoanut. If tete sweetened milk is used, do not odd much sugar to it till the dish Ls nearly finished and it can be tasted. When ono eves some distance from the dairy this milk is invaluable for dishes required in haste. Garlic vinegar, so useful in cookery, Is rondo ns follows : ('are and slice a dozen cloves of garlic, put them in a preserv- ing jar. with ono pint of vinegar, cover mud put in a cool place for a fortnight, then strain and bottle. A small tea- spoonful of this added to n potato or let- tuce salad gives it a delicious flavor of garlic. To Itemovo the Deposit from the Inside of Tea -Kettles. — Fill the kettle with water and add to it a drachm of sal- animeniac. Let it boil for an hour, when the fur, or petrified substance found on the metal, will be dLssolv4d and can bo cosily removed. Rinse the kettle out well. then boil out once or twice before using the contents. Remedy for Damp \%ails.—Dissolve six ounces of millet' snap in two quarts of water. Carefully lay this composition over the brick work with a large flat brush. 11 must (tot lather nn the sur- face. Leave for twenty-four twins M dry. Mix n quarter of a termite of alum with two gallons of water•, allow it hknly-four hours to settle, then apply it in the same manner over the soap mix- ture. 1'hi4 process should be carried out fa dry weather. Renewing Oilcloth. -- When oilcloth tins been laid down for a few months and Ls beginning to kook shabby it can be re- newed cagily, and It will last twice as long If keeled thus : Melt a little ordi- nary glue In a pint of water, letting it stand on the stove bit it dissolves. \%ash the oilcloth thoroughly and lel it dry. Then at night. when the traffic of the day is over. go over the whole thing care- fully with a flannel dipped in the glue water. (:hoose a dry day for It and by the morning the glue will he hard and will have put a fine gloss on the floor. Afterwards it you like you can keep the oilcloth clean by polishing with beeswax and turpentine or a little p►araflpn. faking line should never be allowed to remain with n coaling of dripping which has been left otter baking ,neat. Directly the joint is dished and the gravy made, the tins should be rinsed with hot water, and then boiled out with hot water in which a little soda is dissolved. When free from grease, sand should be ap- plied on a piece of wet coarse flannel, then rinse the tins and dry thoroughly. Directly tins gel badly discolored, boil them in a large pot filled with soda- ater to which some soap Ls added, then scrub and scour as above.

Just now a large part of the popula- tion of This continent has es eyes fixed cu New Rork, where the United Stales Interstate Railway Commission is in- vestigating the conduct of Mr. Edward Henry Harriman, claimed to be the brainiest railway man in the United States. Mr. Harriman was born an Feb. 25. 1818, and consequently. says The Philadelphia Ledger, he celebrated his fifty-ninth birthday by appearing be- fore the Commission to explain how and why he acquired control of a great part of the railroad systems of the United States. The Commission hopes h learn enough from Mr. Harriman and others who will be brought before it to enable it to request the Attorney Gen - ern' of the United States ter bring pro- c.e.lings against Mr. Harriman and his a'sociates under the Sherman anti-trust law. In the event of suck proceedings it will be held that Harriman et al, are banded together in resti tint of trade, and. to speak plainly, for the purpose et squeezing all the money possible out of the dear public, with no adequate redress upon the part of the people. The Government proceeded along the lines it is now following in the case of the 11i11 merger, which was dissolved by decree of the United Slates Supremo Court. The Commission investigated tho t induct of the Northern Securities Gam - piny. the holding concern of the Hill roads, and this was followed by prose- cutions on the part of the Attorney Gen- eral against the merger of the North- western roads. In case of the effort against Mr. Harriman being successful It is hoped for one thing to get the great Southern Pacific system out of his grasp, and to have it run again as a competing road. AN ENIGMA. Edward I1. Harriman is an enigma to friend and toe alike. Ile Is secre- tive and never reveals his plans until be is ready to strike the blow. Ile must rule and be allowed to carry out. His ideas. When (inion Pacific recently in- creased its dividend no one of the direc- tors knew what the rate was to be un - ti• Harriman spoke. He did not even confide to them. He talks but little and Is busy at all livres devising new schemes and looking for points to as- sault. In addition to his railway lines the Harriman syndicate has steamship lines to China and Japan, on the Patine coast, and also steamships on (he Atlan- tic Ocean. Controlling Pacific. Mail, his interests lir In Panama. Ile has re- cently opened a connecting line with the new Tehuantepec isthmian Hallway. His ambition is the world and its trunspor- tateen facilities. FROM OCEAN TO OCLAN. \What Is known as the Harriman group of railroads extends from the Atlantic lo the Pociflc Ocean in continuous ser- vice, something that Is nn( equaled by any other railroad combination in the United States. Edward henry Harri- man and his associates can start at Bal- timore and go- direct, without change, over lines that they control to San Fran- cisco or other points on the Pacific coast. They can ride over their own lines from the Great Lokes to the Gulf cf Mexico. Ily a traffic arrangement, brought Mout by a stock interest, Mr. Harrimnn's line Is further extended from Philadelphia, where his Eastern possessions'end, to Jersey (alp, This is reached by the Reading and Jersey Central lines. So, In incl, the Harri- man system claims terminals on beech the oceans bounding the great Ameri can Continent. \%hat Is known as the Ilarriman-Kuhn-Loeb aggregation con- trols railroads for 27,310 nines, with a capital stock nt $1,700,000,sse 11 is the most Important of the groups Into which the 211.000 miles of sterni railway 1" the United Slates are pnrceted out. it apprnxincates in length the Gw114- itnckefellet group, in which the \Vtbnsh, the Lackawanna, the S1. Poul and the Missouri and Texas Pneiflc systems are included. It exceeds the Vanderbilt lines by some 6.000 miles. and the Pen- nsylvania group by 12.000. It is it more powerful combination than the Ifill- Morgan group since the dissolution of the Northern Pacific merger. nr the Moore -Rock island group, with Ifs 2:,,- 000 miles. The Ilarriman holdings are 5.000 mites in excess of the mileage of Great Britain. J1r, Harriman has con- trol of the Baltimore & Ohio. the inion Pacific • and Southern Pacific systems. the Illinois Central, the Chicago and Alton and the Kansas City Southern. sEc:Itrl' OF HIS PLANS, The great dieseling forces in all these deals, Mr. Harriman. is not a construe - live railroad pian. Ile has merely tak- en what was already in existence, de- veloped it. given better service, treated the people of the West fairer, It is said, so far as facilities for transportation are concerned than ever before. From the immense !fade so developed, aided by a great boom in business, Harriman has sten the (stocks of itis companies in- crease to marvelous figures. This is a part of n scheme to divert trade from liarriman's adversary, James J. Hill. The latter has been forced to great ac- t vity in Washington and Oregon to save his trade, for Harriman is endeav- oring to turner hill at every point. THE MANNER OF '1'11E MAN. "\\'hat manner of man is this who 1,as attracted the attention of the world? Who is he who has drown the lightning flout the White House on his head? For whose story does the financial, railway, and political world all Bland agape?" He is the son of an Episcopalian rec- tor, whose lot was indeed a hard one until a relative who died made life's bur- den easier by a small bequest. Born in Hampstead. L. 1., 20 utiles from New e ork city, and later a resident of Jersey City, Mr. Ilarrincan's life has been spent about the metropolis. He (started :n lite with an object in view, and he has nearly attained the pinacle that he as- pired to. Ile is about 5 feet 3 inches In height, and not of shriking appearance. His gestures are few and devoid of meaning; his voice reveals nothing by tones. There is no dignity; there is no "presence"; there is no outward showing or inward quality. Hi, eyes attract ycur notice, at limes; for he has a trick of staring at you front beneath drawn brows in a disconcerting, because puz- zling, fashion. ho is enigmatic. Not that he speaks in riddles, however. Ile is, on the contrary', direct and sticks close to has subject, but it Hirst be his own subject; he pays little attention to the one you may introduce. Ile is per- sistency itself. So agree all who know tcinr well. GREATEST \VORli IN TEN YEARS Edward 11. Harriman Ls a direct con- tradiction of the Osler theory. Not un- lit lie hod passed his forty-eighth year did he flash upon the financial world so as to dazzle it. And the great things he Inas accomplished have all taken place since 1897. The last ten years have been lively in the life of Mr. Har- riman. and It would seem as if there are more years with exciting events be- fore hint. The man is regarded as an enigma even by his intimate friends. Ile began his business career ns a clerk in a broker's office, where he had an opportunity to learn the ways of the Stock Exchange. Many tales are told cn Wall street of the way lie came to be able to Huy a scat on the New Yoe!: Stock Exchange. which he did 00 Au- gust 13, 1870. Ono is to the effect that he was plunging in tete market with all he possessed during the celebrated "corner in gold" engineered by Gould, Fisk, I:imber and others of their kind, azul that he look his profits on "Black Friday" and invested the whole of those profile in a seat on the' Exchange. Ile married early in life, and married very well. His wife was Miss Mary Aver - ell, of Rochester, whose father was 3 capitalist and a successful railroad man. This marriage considerably strengthened the hands of Edward II. 1Iarrinian for the battle of life. It has Tern in every way a very fortunate and happy marriage. The story of the man from that time on Is al►ne.,l purely financial, and it is the great moves in that life that the Commission Is now enquiring into. 4 - THE SUNDAY SCHOOL INTERN \TILIN U.
