.Mixing Babies An article has appeared ii: a i.umber of papers recently written bv a man who proposes to estao- Lsh what he calls “international baby exchange,” bis plan is to take promising boya and girls of Amer ican parentage and send them to Europe to be reared and educat-d in foreign families and bring the children of the foreigners to this country and pursue the same course with them here. The object is to bring up a generation of men and women who will aid in bring ing about the world’s peace and more friendly relations between the nation*. When tbe plan is to be put into operation is not known in fact so far there has been no criticism for or against the scheme and like many others of similar import it may never be heard of again. There are, however, in English history two instances of the chang ing of babies, if we are to believe what some vivid imaginations have given to those who love exciting readine. Excluding the cases of the “pretenders” who have ap peared to claim tbe throne, the two referred to made a distinct mark on the political and literary history of England. In the case of the eccentric Deen Swift it has been claimed that when a baby the nurse, while tak ing him out for an airing, met with an accident which resulted in the death of the nhild. In the horror of the reception she would meet when she returned to the home, she remembered a camp of Gypsies in a nearby wood, and from the wanderers she procured a boy of the same age, and dressing him in the dead boy’s clothes, re turned with him to the house and passed him off as the original Swift child. His future life exhib ited many traits that it was impos sible to account for by his gentle Girth, as neither father nor mother had the characteristics which made the great satirist such a fig ure m his day. In a recent book of Queen Eliza beth, an auther named Bram Stok er now comes forward and claims that the “Good Queen Bess” was not a queen but a “king.” The Stoker story gives an historic ant ting sufficient to make the “de ciet” plausible, and states that when Elizabeth was a little girl and under wardship in the west of Engand, she died just as her father King Henry VIII was about to make a paternal visit. The al armed guardian, seeking to evade the King’s anger, sought out a red haired child and could find only a red-haired boy in the village. This boy was invested with the royal clothing of Princess Elizabeth and as time wore on it was less and less practicable to tell the King of the loss of his heir. If this is the truth about the woman ruler of England who caused so many historians to des pair of accounting for her many vagaries and actions, no one can say, but it will possibly be accept ed by those who wish to excuse or condemn her conduct without go ing into any deeper investigation of the cause.—Macon Telegraph. “The Financial Department.’* Wall Street, disturbed by the hostility exhibited toward it throughout the nation has evolved a new plun for inviting the confi dence of the coentry in its wares. Me •re insidious and Bubtle than or dinary, it is regarded by the as tute financiers of New York as the coup d’etat of a master mind. In a dozen of the large national magazines in which its influence is dormant, it has caused to he in augurated a “Financial Depart ment” for the dissemination of information concerning stocks and bonds aud investments generally at the head of this department in one of the most widely circulated of the publications is a former ward of the late E H. Harrimun, while those who are shaping ti.e policy of the others have all been identi fied for years with the interests and are now in the full enjoyment of its confidence. With an unctious frankness that dispels suspicion, the doctor, the dominee, teacher and the small merchant who have laid aside a nest, egg for investment are authoritivelv advised to put their money in securities that have for years been approved mediums for stock exchange manipulation and like Mark Twain’s dog, have a reputation principally for their up# am downs.

What it* most viru lent critic says of it, matters not jso long as its treasury is being steadily replenished bv those who heed its advice. It can stand censure but it can not stand a lean bank roll. So long as the Trusts’ “financial de partments” flourish and investores are persuaded by them into sur rendering tbeir power of dis crimination betweeu good and | bad, Wall Street will have no trouble on this score. In the sing ular eagerness shown by intelli gent persons to follow the “can ned” advice of •'financial depart m-iits" cpenly conducted in the; mt rests of Wall Street and it’s pet securities, there is a reminder of that trite remark of Bobby Burns : “Wad some one the giftie gie us to see ourselves a3 others see us.” Am-rica Only. .

The tendency of public senti ment is towards free trade almost with those countries which allow reciprocal trade relations: espec ially is there a growing sentiment in favor of free trade among ail the American continent.
