Tari9 In the senate.

At this writing the Wilson tariff bill
has not been placed before the senate
either as originally framed in accordance
with the mandates of the president, as
amended in the house subcommittee, as
amended by the house ways and means
majority, as amended by the house it
self, as amended and reamended by the
subcommittee of the senate finance com
mittee. After its varied career and man
fold holdings it is doubtful whether the
original Trainer president Cleveland) of
the measure that "has been prepared on
the lines suggested in his message" will
be able to recognize his own offspring,
and it may be that the infant will dis
claim the parent.
Almost IS months have elapsed since
the presidential elections of 1892. By the
time the tariff monstrosity can have been
discussed by The senate, be recommitted
to the house and finally become law there
will be less than six months intervening
before the next general congressional
elections.
Should the tariff be changed it will be
fully three years before its free trade
features can be obliterated. We believe
that the best interests of the country and
of the people will be best served by pro-
hibiting the passage Of any new tariff
bill until after the elections in November
next. Give the people further chance
to declare themselves at the polls.
Every legitimate effort should be made
in the senate and elsewhere by all friends
of protection to stop the further progress
of the so called Wilson bill. After the
policy of prostration has been dragging
itself along its destructive course for a
year and more the news of a postponement
of the tariff question till after the next
elections would be welcomed with shouts
and hailed with joy in every corner of
the land. The wheels of commerce
would reyolve, labor would be busy, and
the voice of the people would be decisive
in November that protection must stand.

Wilson on Hose.

In the Wilson tariff bill we find that
section 273 reads as follows:
Collars and cuffs and shirts and all
articles of wearing apparel Of every de-
scription not specially provided for in
this act, composed wholly or in part of
linen, and linen hydraulic hose, 30 per
cent ad valorem.
The great work of tariff reform ap-
pears to have transformed the hydraulic
hose" of the Mckinley tariff into an ar
ticle of wearing apparel for Professor
Wilson. We must confess to a degree of
ignorance as to the exact member of the
body that hydraulic hose should EN-
brace. As it appears in close association
with collars and cuffs and shirts, it
might be regarded as a new species of
Cleveland collar But we also find that
it is allied with ''all articles of wearing
apparel of every description, which in
wolves a greater degree of mystery.
Wilson attired in hydraulic hose,
But why he wears it nobody knows.
1t may be to lessen his cares and his woes,
To keep tepid his toes or the end Of his nose.
Does he carry it round wherever be goes
To ward off attacks from political foes?
Does he wear it by day or when in repose?
And how he gets in it the Lord only knows

Children have been admirably drilled
in Bible detail. They know more about
it than three-fourths of their Sunday
school teachers. They have learned the
story of Moses till they can say it as pat
as the multiplication table, But | dc
not find any living interest in Moses.
There is one of the grandest life stories
in history, and they seem to have nc
feeling about it. And that need not be
so.
remember one Of my Sunday school
teachers in Chicago telling me how trou-
bled she had been because she was afraid
she was not making the stories of the
prophets interesting to her boys. But
one day she was comforted, for she heard
from the mother of one Of them that the
lad had come home the Sunday before,
and after sitting silent awhile suddenly
burst out ut the dinner table:

cndn of colors In seaIing wax.

Dainty French people have never dis
placed sealing wax with the gummed en-
velope, and in the haute monde of France
there is q certain symbolism in the
choice of colors. Blue denotes constancyi
yellow, jealousy. Pink is appropriately
used by young girls, and gray is en-
ployed when writing to an intimate
friend. Red is confined to business, and
engaged lovers find ruby symbolical Of
the intensity of their emotions. Green
is for letters from lovers who live in
hope, and dull brown warns the impa-
tent lover that his offer is refused.
White is chosen for communications re-
lating to weddings and black for obitu-
aries. Violet expresses sympathy. Choc-
olate marks the invitation to dinner

ALL ABOUT PENS.
An Interesting Account of Their Invention
and Evolution.

An Interesting Account of Their Invention
and Evolution.
Sharp pointed bodkins, made of bronze,
of steel or Of iron, were the first pens,
and they were used for cutting out let
ters and hieroglyphics in the limestone,
sandstone or steatite of eastern countries.
Such pens were also used for writing on
Assyrian tablets. The tablets were made
of soft clay, and after receiving inscrip-
tions were dried in the sun or baked In
the fire.
In the far east and in Egypt the cam
els hair pencil soon took the place of the
metal bodlin. With the pencil letters
were painted on the skins Of animals
and the bark of trees, in much the same
manner that the Chinese draw them on
paper at the present day.
In Persia, Greece and Syria wax and
leaden tablets came into use, and the
stylus became the popular pen. The
STYLUS was made of bone, ivory or metal,
with one end pointed and the other Hat
tened. The fattened end was used to
erase errors made in writing.
The use of parchment and papyrus,
however, called for more flexible pen
than either the bodkin or the stylus, SO
reed pens were invented. For making
these pens peculiar kind of reed was
used, which was shaped to point and
split, similar to the pens now in use.
In A. D. SOB it was discovered that
ouills made much better pens than reeds.
The quilts of the goose, thes wan and the
crow were used principally. Several
centuries later, when writing paper was
introduced into England, the quill pen
was still the favorite writing instrument.
However, the qnill pens had been great
ly improved and those from Russia and
Holland were excellent.
In the early part of the present century
there was a demand for something better
and more durable than quill pens. Ac-
cordingly a great many experiments
were made with horn, glass, tortoise
shell and finally with steel, silver and
gold. TWAS soon found that pens made
Of horn and tortoise shell softened under
the action of the ink and We're not SO
good as quill pens. Nor were the silver
pens very good. They were too elastic
and too easily worn at the points.
In 1903 steel was tried in Wise's barrel
pens, but being poorly made and very
expensive they were not a success. AT
Birmingham, England, in 1920 the man
ufacture of steel pens began in earnest
and they proved to be excellent. The
first gross Of steel pens sold in Birming-
ham brought $3.50 at wholesale.
They were soon manufactured in great
numbers and have been getting better
and cheaper all the time, until now we
can buy for a trihe the best steel pen
made. Europe has always exceiied IN
the manufacture Of steel pens, and Amer
lea is noted for the manufacture OF gold

my coffee in silence.
''As expected, it was not long be-

forward, so as to see more clearly what

men who were sitting near examined
and admired the ring. The man next
me was the last to look at it.
:" A friend l hey at Buenos Ayres
sent it to me, and had it cut myself.
AT this point l noticed that my
neighbor had finished his examination of
the diamond, and l touched him, init

false ring on my finger, admired it, as
in duty bound, and then pulling it off
handed it back to my neighbor, who in
turn gave it to the American.
II put the real diamond, which | had
secured, into my pocket and finished my
coffee hastily just as Brother Jonathan
was making an appointment with a rich
young Frenchman to meet at the shop
of fashionable jeweler next morning
and take his opinion on the value of the
gem.

II went back to the railway station,
got my bag, changed my hat and coat
in the waiting room, slipped into the
hotel and next day set off for Cannes.
