PROFIT IN DELAY.

A recent event shows how wise it is to
make haste slowly. We refer to the armor
plate test at Annapolis 1t has not only
utterly destroyed faith in the compound
armor which other nations, and particular
ly England, have considered most efficient,
but it has made it appear that an alloy of
nickel with steel will produce All armor
plate of nearly 80 per cent. greater de-
fensive efficiency than any other known,
and SO much lighter as to make possible
much greater power in machinery and Of
fensive arnor. This has very important
bearing on the coast defense question. If
we had begun the comprehensive system
of coast defense advocated nine years
ago, it would not yet have been fin
ished and we should have spent scores of
millions of dollars for works that would be
already practically obsolete. We have
waited many years for other countries to
conduct costly experiment with ordnance
and armor and war vessels, and are now
fruits of their ventures. And if the ex-
pectations concerning the nickel alloy
srmor are realized we shall have to further
congratulate ourselves upon having but
barely escaped wasteful experiment.
Of course we can't go without coast de-
Tense forever, but the longer We can wai'
the more chance there is of getting some

There is hope, said an aged Hebrew at
the Palestine conference held in New
York synagogue the other evening, that
Palestine will yet regain her ancient indie
pendence and enjoy even more glorious
times than those of Solomon. The speak
er's face cleaned as he spoke. There is
hope, he added, that Jerusalem will be re-
deemed before the close of the nineteenth
century, and that the scattered tribes now
in exile all over the world will return to
the land that was promised unto Abra-
ham. The Turkish government, which
has wrought ruin in Palestine, is tottering
from Armenia to Constantinople. 1t con-
tinues to exist only by the sufferance of
the great powers under the protection of
England, but there are signs that it cannot
be held up much longer. When it falls then
will come the opportunity of the Holy Land.
The movement that has been begun in New
York for sending the prosecuted Jews of
Russia back to Palestine is full of signif-
canoe. 1t is strong movement, and has
the support of wealthy members of the
Jewish race, not only here, but also in
England, France, Germany and other
countries of Europe. Thousands of the
Jews of GENTLE lands have within the past
few years gone to Palestine to abide
there, and tens of thousands are anxious
to follow in their footsteps. We would
have millions of them there within gen.

Turkish yoke, as it will yet be.

SOFA PILLOWS.

Large square cushions for sofas and
lounges are replacing the small, round,
oblong, melon-shaped, or shapeless pill
lows. Let the pillow be comfortable as
possible, for uneasy lies the head that
wrinkles a too-elaborate, too-expensive
cover.
Linen embroidered with white that may
be laundried, makes the most useful cover;
for show, with plain side upon which
ones cheek may rest without fear of trans
ferring the design to that impressionable
surface, use denim embroidered in some
bold design with the rope linens that are
found in all the new shades and are soft
and lustrous as silks.
For filling these cushions use finely cut
or torn tissue and letter paper. A large
quantity will be needed but it is an excel
lent way of disposing of "unconsidered
fragments" Old love letters might be
worked up in this way, with notes of in
vitation and even tradesmen's bills. Paper
filling is said to be cooler than either
down, feathers, or hair, and in hopitals
where paper stuffed pillows have been
used they have been highly commended
Here is work for little fingers, for what

The Democratic orators and the Demo-
cratic newspapers have been making feeble
and futile attempts to bring Speaker Reeds
strength into ridicule. But the people of
this country-Democrats and Republicans
alike-admire strength, and they know it
when they see it. The enthusiasm with
which Speaker Reed has been greeted
wherever he has spoken this fall is a mag
nifcent tribute to qualities which will not
cease to be appreciated as long as brains
and manhood hold sway. His reception
in New Haven was like his receptions
elsewhere. His speech was complete and
mastery justification of Republican prin-
ciples and Republican policy. Never has
a political speaker in this city been listened
to with more careful attention, and such
attention gave ample reward.
The campaign in this State received a
powerful impetus last evening There was
no Republican in the vast crowd who did
not feel that the grand old party was
worth upholding against the desperate at
tacks which have recently been made upon
it, And every Republican in the audience
went home filled with enthusiasm and de-
termined to work harder than ever for
