SOME WHITING PARTIES.
A Winter Night Social Recreation In Rural
Pennsylvania.

whiting parties are all the rage this

The desire 10 become skillful with the
jack-knife has got to be a craze in some
neighborhoods. Nearly all of the whit
tiers are the descendants of YANKEE
farmers. and therefore handle the jack
knife with dexterity.
The whiting contests take place in
the farmhouse kitchens, the whitlers ana
their families having been invited by the
man who gives the party. He furnishes
all the wood, and he puts up prizes or

ond best axe helve, hammer handle, po-
tato masher, or other useful thing, ana
he appoints three disinterested men OF
good judgment to decide on the merits
Of the work turned out. Their decis-
ion is final, and the things shaped out OF
wood that evening become the property
of the giver of the prizes. The only i'm
plements allowed in the contests are a
jack-knife and a file, and the work must
be finished within two hours.

Commander Jewell, of the
United States Navy, in an adj
dress before the United Service
Club, expressed the opinion that
there would never again be a
great war among civilized ma
tons. Peace has been assured
by the invention of destructive
appliances, and nations cannot
afford to go to war. These APP
pliances, too, have increased in
cost in the ratio of the increase
of destructive power, the heavi-
est cannon costing hundreds of
dollars for one discharge. The
Krupp gun costs $500 for one dis
charge. Cities can be lombard
ed at a distance of twelve to fif-
teen miles swift cruisers can
clear the seas of merchant YES
sells; submerged torpedo boats
are powerful engines of destruc-
ton and repeating rifles can
decimate rapidly the ranks of OPP
posing armies. The whole sys-
tenn of warfare ON sea and land,
has been changed, and war now
means slaughter and bankruptcy
to those nations that engage in
it. Let arbitration supersede the
sword, and an international board
of arbitration settle all disputes
between the nations.

Tuesday night and early We'd
nesday morning Missouri, Indi-
ana, Illinois, Kansas, Iowa, Ne
braska and a portion of Ohio
were visited by terrific storms of
wind, rain and hail. Several
towns in Missouri and Kansas
were destroyed, and a number of
persons were killed by their fall
ing houses. The strawboard
mills at Kokomo, Ind, We're
blown down. One workman was
killed, and others escaped with
slight injuries. At Greencastle,
Ind, the roof of the female dor
mitory of the Depauw University
was blown off. The Missouri
Military Academy at Mexico,
No, was partially wrecked, and
the inmates had a narrow escape
from death. The wind blew fifty
miles an hour in st. Louis. Great
damage was done to property
along the river front. At Gin
cinnati the wind reached a velo-
city of over seventy miles an
hour, the remarkable storm be-
ing attended by an earthquake
disturbance. Telegraph com
munication between Western
points was cut off for a time, the
wires being down in every direc-
ton.
