Repairing n Cable.

The cables Of a suspension bridge are
subjected TO great strains, and are therefore
firmly anchored at each shore end to heavy
masses Of masonry, generally by means Of
long bars of iron or steel having holes at
each end by which they are bolted or pinned
together. In examining the anchorage Of
one end of the smaller suspension bridge at
Niagara one Of these bars was found to be
broken, and tue problem of replacing it was
quite difficult. since the wires attached to
it had to have the same tension when it was
in place as they had when the old bar was
intact The new bar was formed Of n piece
of steel 20 feet long, inches wide and three
quarters of an inch thick, with a hole in one
end and provided at the other with a band
bolted to it.
This band was designed to pass around
an iron bar in the abutment and resist the
pull of the wires. When the band had
been placed about this pin in the masonry
and bolted to its bar the latter was careful
ly heated by wooden fire in a trough be-
low it until it had expanded sufficiently to
allow the end of the wire cable to be con-
nected with it. As it cooled down it con-
tracted more and more until at the normal
temperature the wires attached to it were
strained to the same amount as the others,
and in this way difficult problem was
easily and cheaply solved.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

Kipling a. an Indian Journalist.

In The Idler Mr.. Rudyard Kipling gives
some amusing particulars of his early jour
nalistic experiences. Mr.. Kipling, as every
body knows, began his literary career in a
humble way on the staff of an Indian paper.
He tells how at this period he was painfully
shocked at the discovery that n subeditor
was paid to subedit and not hired to write
verses
Later on, however, he became an editor
and had subeditor who was saturated
with Ella" and wrote very pretty essays in
the manner of Charles Lamb, when he
ought to have been subediting. Then it
was that Mr. Kipling understood what his
editor must have suffered on his account.
Now, however, Mr.. Kipling's verse was in
demand-at least in one quarter.
Rukn-Din, the foreman ''of our side"
approved of them, we are told, immensely.
He was Moslem of culture. He would
say, Your pottery very good, sir; just COM
ing proper length today. You giving more
soon? One-third column just proper. AL
ways can take on third page" The poet
was in very good company for, as he says,
"There is always an undercurrent of song
little bitter for the most part-running
through the Indian papers,"

A Nine. Cornuel was the original author
of the phrase, mo man is hero to his
valet" One Harel said Speech was given
to man to disguise his thoughts" An OBJ
scure journalist invented II phrase that was
immensely quoted in France as having
been said by the Bourbon prince who was
restored to the French throne in 1914 as
Charles X. He was credited with assuring
the nation that he would not restore old
abuses in the following phrase: Nothing
is altered; there is only one Frenchman the
more in Franoe."

Why Republicans Buy Elections

The New York Tribune of Dec. Is
takes Mr.. Charles S. Fairchild to task
for saying, at the annual dinner OF the
New England Tariff Reform league, that
Republican business men had formed q
"habit of contributing vast sums Of
money to buy elections" and to "under
mine the foundations of society" The
Tribune asks:
"Mr. Fairchild, do you know why
these business men are willing to con
tribute to Republican campaign funds
There's some reason for it, surely. They
don't do it for fun or because they have
no idea of the value of money and are
willing to waste it aimlessly and wan
tonly,"
According to good Republican author
ity, the protected manufacturers wanted
to pay higher wages to their employees
They imagined that this would not bt
permitted under Democratic admins
tration, so they concluded to pay large
sums to an administration that would
permit it. Tho people for some reason
did not wish high wages and voted tt
relieve the manufacturers from any fur
ther responsibility in the matter. This
we believe, is the whole case in u nut
shell. Strange as it may seem, mor'
cases of genuine wage advances in pro
tected industries have been reported il
the few weeks since than in the TIVE
years previous to election. This anon
ally has not yet been accounted for b,
high tariff authorities.

Rather an odd accident happened to q
young woman on Park row on Friday.
She was handsomely dressed, wearing
for wrap one of the new double decked,
balloon rugged capes of velvet, trimmed
with fur and lined with colored silk.
She was about crossing the street when
two men seized her and began pulling
and patting the precious cape with their
hands.
The woman was badly scared, turned
as white as a sheet, and simply stood
helpless, gazing at the antics Of the men
who were dancing about her, and who
she thought were highwaymen trying to
make off with her new winter wrap.
Presently the men tipped their hats and
explained that the garment they had been
treating seemingly so roughly had been
ablaze. Sure enough, there was big,
ugly, black hole eaten out Of the velvet
of one of the front folds. Probably the
wearer in passing some smoker had
caught spark from cigar or pipe. She
thanked the gallants who had come to her
rescue and then went on her way, hiding
as best she could the damaged part Of the
garment. 1t is question whether the
moral of this story is that men should
not smoke in the street or women should
not wear the new tangled cape.-New
York Times.

Christmas Shopping Fatigue.

A woman stood in the toy department Of
one Of the shops holding in her hand set
of china dishes unusually large and hand
some. She was looking at it, evidently
trying to make up her mind if she wanted
it. Suddenly her hands were empty; there
was loud crash, and on the floor lay u
hundred bits of broken china. There was
rush of floorwalkers, salesgirls and Gus
tomers to the spot. The woman stood still,
though her face flushed at the curious eyes
directed at her.
II broke them," she said to the girl serv-
ing her II am so tired | couldn't hold
them. Twill pay for them" There was a
look in her face which showed it would be
relief to burst into tears from sheer nerv-
ous fatigue. And an onlooker thought
what IL weighty gift it would make if ones
friends could be presented with the tangi-
BILE showing of just the amount of time,
strength, effort, thought and nervous wear
and tear which their gifts cost How the
bit of money would tighten in comparison
with this accumulation!
AS it cannot be shown, it must be under
stood, and if you are wondering why Helen
sent a pair Of toilet bottles when she must
have known you had no less than three
pairs in your room now, or why Dick
should have hit on IL prayer book after hay
ing gone to church with you dozen times
when you carried the beauty your aunt
brought you from abroad, why just reflect
that Helen and Dick thought and pondered
on what you would like until what DR..
Holmes calls 'the idiotic area" was so hope
lessly developed in their craniums that nc
lucid idea was left.-Her Point of View in

without Haste and without Delav

The Democratic leaders are already
anxiously studying conditions. They are
searching for facts that should be taken
into account. They are weighing every
suggestion. Even the most dogmatic
doctrinaires among them realize-now
that the responsibility of affirmative ac-
ton is upon them-that lit is condi-
ton, not theory, which confronts u.s."
There is in all this no recanting, no
shrinking from the work the people
have set these men to do. They are 60
ing to reform the tariff. They are going
to relieve the people of burdens. They
are going to put the raw materials of
manufacture upon the free list. They
are going to make material reductions in
the duties on the necessaries of life
They are going to cheaper the cost of
living to the people. They are going tc
create conditions which will give to the
workman more for his wages than he
now gets. But in doing this they are
going to feel their way cautiously-as
becomes men dealing with affairs that
concern the national prosperity-and
make no avoidable mistake that can in
any way imperil the welfare of the peo-
ple.-New York World.

A certain French family of this city. who
are very familiar with the English Ian
guage, with the exception of one young
man, employ as n cook an Irish girl The
young man is making good progress with
his English, but is apt to grasp at word
somewhat too quickly and to put it into
use before he has mastered it, Then, too
he occasionally learns something that has
to be unlearned. The other day he hap
pened to go into the kitchen, and seeing
the cook putting skewers into piece of
beef asked what they were.
"Thems skivers, sor." answered the do
mestic.
'Skivers, skivers," murmured the young
man as he strolled away. Shortly after
this he happened to be dining out with
some American friends. When the meat
was brought on and the hostess started to
carve something seemed to bar the passage
of the blade. The quick eye of the young
Frenchman took in the situation at glance,
and leaning forward he said:
'Ze skiver, re skiver."
"What2" said the hostess, stopping short
in her work.
'Ze skiver Here it is" And the young
man stretched out his hand and pulled a
long wooden skewer out of the beef. A roar
of laughter from the family and explana-
tions followed. Eagle.

AmericaJR system for Britain.

AS n radical am most strongly in favor
of local parliaments and one imperial par
lament. This system has been adopted
with signal success in America, and it is
the only one which really gives the people
control over their destinies. Such parlia-
ment as we now have is SO surcharged with
business that it either does not do its bust
ness or does it in a perfunctory way. Every
reform under our present system takes ten
times rs long passing as an elephant does
to procreate its species.
Owing to this stress the possibility of car
rying reforms is almost insuperable, and
when we want dozens we have to thank
heaven if, in dozen years, we secure one.
By using the weapons of obstruction the
classes maintain their obnoxious privileges
Although the primary duty of a parliament
is to keep watch and guard over public ex.
penditure, parliamentary control has be
come farce, and the estimates-with all
their jobs, their robberies and their eXtrav
agances-are put off until the end of thu
session, when there is no time to look into
them.
Naturally the Tories wish to perpetuatt
this state of things. 1t will only come to
an end when the radicals have realized that
what we call our glorious constitution is 6
scheme to give the people the appearance
of power without the reality and to main
tain the classes in the possession Of power

ferent. There must be the bathtub, water
closet and washstand. The expensive house
cannot have more in the bathroom, though
there may be more plumbing distributed in
other places in the house. No one can af-
ford to cheaper plumbing, because when it
goes beyond certain stage of cheapness it
passes the danger line, and Of course one
might better be without plumbing alto
getIar than to have it of a dangerous char
acter. AS matter of necessity about as
much cells" is needed in a moderate cost
house as in ne which costs more The
cellar is about as high, and altogether the
strain and difficulty of planning the mod
crate cost house are greater than that Of the
more expensive one, and, on the other hand,
the matter of convenience is not so impor-
tant with those who have an abundance of
means as with those who are not so amply
provided for.
AS is to be noticed there is on the first
story porch, over which comes room
on the second story. Back of the porch
is square hall, with large front door
and Il window at one side. The hall is
large enough and of shape which per-
mits of its being used for other purposes
than that of Il mere passage. A hall which
is long-say feet in width and 10 or IS feet

in lengths less serviceable than one
which has about the same number of square
feet and has the stairway at one side of it,
as is the case in the plan here given. The
long hall has the stairway occupying quite
one-half of its width, and thus there is only
passage at one side. When we place a
hatrack in this hall it requires some edg-
ing around to pass through it. At one side
of the hall is the parlor; back of that a
sitting room, and at the rear of the hall a
dining room. There is little passage
shown in the plan which connects the hall
with the sitting room. Thus from the hall
itself one can go to the parlor, the sitting
room and the dining room.
At the back of the dining room and sit
ting room is the kitchen, which connects
with the dining room by means of china
room and double swing doors. Then off
from the kitchen in another place is pan
try. Thus there is about all that could be
wished in the way of a floor plan on the
first floor of this house, and above there is
an ample supply of bedrooms and the equip
| ment of comfortable house. Yet above
| is an attic. The attic bears about the same
| relation to the second floor of house that
cellar does to the first floor; it is store.
room for what might otherwise be tucked
| away in the closets and bedrooms on the
second floor. In the various bedrooms
| there is an abundance of space for proper
bedrOOm furniture
