SEVERAL of our esteemed contemporaries
are commenting upon it as valuable discoV-
cry that riots can be quelled by calling out
the freidepartment and turning the hose on
them. This might be useful sometimes, if the
riorers do not get to the hose first; but much
the best treatment of riots is to have con-
dition of popular intelligence and prosperity
that will not produce them.

views to find the esteemed Boston Herald
suggesting that 'if the United States Sem

Presidents nomination for that Tennessee

nepotism in high places" Our cotemporary
does not, however, allege that it has any
reason for snspecting the Senate of wanting
to strike a blow at nepotism. Perhaps it
thinks that the Senate would like to monop.

ship Weser, which has just arrived in Bremen
form Baltimore, informed the agents of the

it Ia probable that the crew have been taken

THERE is a little slowness still in some Pitts
burg stores, and few old-fogyish tricks are
| played in them.
For instance, a week or two ago friend Of
mine took revolver to a gunsmith's to be re-
stored to usefulness. He had taken the
mechanism of the lock to pieces and could not
put it together again. The gunsmith took the
weapon, and told the owner of it to call in a
day or two. BE did so and received the weap-
on, but at once discovered that it was faultily
reconstructed. The clerk in the store agreed
that the workman to whom the weapon had
been sent had made mistake.
day or two afterward my friend called for
the revolver. 1t was handed to him with
picturesquely spelt note from the workman,
in which it was stated that the charges were 10
cents for the first reconstruction and 25 for the
secondhand that every time it should be re-
turned to the writer without the cylinder
which could not possibly have anything TO do
with the matter of putting the lock in order
further charge of 25 cents would be made.
My friend could not help laughing at the
threatening style of this autocratic gunsmith.
He paid the extra 25 cents under protest. Since
then he has been wondering how a store that
allows its workmen to dictate to, abuse and
overcharge its customers can get any patron
age. So have ].

SilJc Threads In Bank Notes

The paper on which bank notes arc
printed is called "dstinctive paper"
being used exclusively by the Govern
mcnt for the printing of bonds and cur
rent notes. The mills where it is manu-
featured are at Gen Falls Chester
County, Pr. An ngcnt of the Treasury
Department receives the paper direct
from the hands of the manufacturer,
and every prccaution is observed in
order to prevent any loss. Short scraps
of red silk are mixed with the liquid
pulp in an engine. Tho finished ma
tcrial is conducted to a wire cloth with
out passing through any screens, which
might retain tho silkcn threads. An
arrangement above the wire cloth
scatters shower of fine scraps of blue
silk thread, which fall upon tho paper
while it is being formed. The side on
which the blue silk is deposited is used
for tho back of the notes, and tho
threads arc SO deeply imbedded as to
remain permanently fixed. Each sheet
is registered as soon as it is made.
