The fexibility which has so long
been desired by jewellers in the con-
struction of certain articles seems to
have been attained in the beautiful
tiara of diamonds shown. 1t is de-
signed In very light and graceful
style and can be converted into four
different articles. First there is the
handsome central crown. This may
be taken to pieces and merely left as
tiara; the sides, by means of clasps,
are joined together and produce q
smaller model. Then the large tiara,
supplemented by the two narrow bands
of jewels which rest on the hair, is
converted into a massive diamond
necklack, the smaller one in turn being
similarly adopted. Further subdivis-

enough to resist flood. Only little
difference in the. dam or the duty may
bring tremendous disaster in place of
peace and prosperity. The question is
whether the duty is high enough to
keep domestic establishments at work
with fair wages. Cutting off wages
necessarily cuts off what the people
can buy, and thus necessarily reduces
business. Now the one fact which
everybody can see is that wages are at
present very much lower than they
were two years ago. before the people
voted for change of tariff, and the
definite settlement which the new
tariff has brought does not anywhere
permit any recovery of wages as yet,
but in many important branches it has
compelled a decline. Thus the win
dow-glass workers recently accepted
reduction of twenty per cent. and the
tiint-glass and tin plate workers are
also expected to accept reduction.
1t is impossible to state with accu-
racy what the aggregate reduction in
all kinds of wages has been, but it is
unquestionably enough to account for
Ii material shrinkage in the purchases
of the people, and consequently in the
volume of business. This alone would
be a very serious change, should it
continue. even though none of the
American works should be directly
closed by foreign competition. For if
the people can only spend $4,000, 00O,-
900 where they formerly spent S5,000,-
OG0, 900 yearly, great many establish
ments will have to stop because of a
lack of demand for their products
Some theorists imagine that, with
prices down 20 or so per cent. the
smaller wages will go as far and buy
as many boots or clothes as the larger
wages previously received. But the
trouble is that while prices of some
goods which are liable to be imported
have been much reduced, other prices
have been reduced very little or not at
all. 1t is capable of demonstration
that the cost of living, even at the
lowest point this year, has at no time
been as much as 10 per cent lower
than it was in 1892, but wages are
probably at least 20 per cent lower.
What American works will be forced
to stop operations, when the full force
of foreign competition under the new
duties is felt, is at present a matter of
conjecture. But there IS strong reason
for believing that many works will
thus be suppressed, and that multi
tude of workers will thus be compelled
to crowd into other employments, in
which there is not too much room al
ready.-N. Y. Tribune.

come awaits us. After a short call
here and an appetizing lunch under
the spreading trees we are away again,
passing Doag creek, just below Mount
Vernon, where, it is said, Gen. WASH
ington used to go duck hunting, and he
also made a careful survey of this
creek and gave it soundings on some of
his charts.
But George Washington never went
cunning in such craft as this. He
had yawls and slHiffs propelled by oars
in the hands of sons of Ham, who
worshiped him as their master. He
used a fiint-locl gun, too; and they do
say that when powder and flint failed
to work satisfactorily that great and
good man sometimes said things which
have found no place in history. His
favorite explosive was an anglicism of
that Gallo expletive useu by the COM
mander of the Old Guard at Waterloo.
Below Doag creek the river widens
and begins to turn gradually south
ward, and, after passing Marshall hall,
the course is laid for the steep wooded
bluff on the Virginia shore, at the base
of which the well-known Virginia
white house nestles cozily among the
great trees. This point, now complete
ly abandoned, was.once a famous sum-
mer resort, and as early as 1912 several
lively slxirmishes occurred between the
colonial batteries on the shores of
White House cliffs and Indian Head
and the far superior British force, con-
sisting of ten vessels, carrying 173
guns, which were then retreating
down the Potomac after the British in
vasion of Washington. Just below
White House is Gunston cove. on the
south shore of which is Gunston hall,
one of the famous mansions of Vir-
ginia. On Pohick creek, too, tribu-
tary of Gunston cove, is old Pohick
church, erected in 1865, of which Wash
ington was vestryman; and among
those who also worshiped there were
the Masons and Fairfaxes. 1t is

business and wages Seriously Injured by
the Tariff Reduction.
1t is often said by those who are
specially DESTROYS of encouraging a
prompt revival of business, and who
have more zeal than knowledge, that
the new tariff makes only little change
from the Mckinley law. Yet what are
the facts? On many of the most i'm
portant products the duties are re-
duced more than one-half, and on
many others as much as q third, and
these are products, moreover, which
were so largely imported in 1891 and
1892 under the Mckinley duties as to
prove that those duties were by no
means prohibitory.
1t is essential to remember that
duty which is not high enough to pro

But whatever may be the speciality Of this
or that Justice, all are supposed to be suf-
hciently well informed On all of the sn b.
jecs considered to render an accurate
judgment of the disputed point.
The fact that the decisions of the Su-
preme Court are prepared by the Justices
at their homes has given rise 10 many
stories OF leaks" by which these decisions
have become public property before they
were read in court. There is little conbt
that the decision of the court in the Bel
TO some newspaper correspondents by one
of the justices, and that the publication of
it in some of the leading newspapers OF the
country two days in advance of decision
day was used by spectators for their en-
richment. This decision was not sold. 1t
was given by The Justice to the correspond
ents (Who were his personal frends) for
use as news. But there was another I'M
portant decision years ago which was sold
by the daughter of Justice through her
husband to a syndicate. This syndicate
used the information to put through The
market a big and profitable stock deal,
and it is also matter of common kn0wl-
edge in Supreme Court circles that the
daughter and her husband were the only
persons at interest who did not profit by
this betrayal of trust, for the syndicate
never paid them their price and they were
powerless, TO enforce payment.

lightning-like rapidity, and the space they
cover in an incredibly short time gives
them an immense radius of observation in
their movements. An idea CT their speed
can be had when it Is known that the fe-

food for them al a distance of 200 miles,
where the seaers lie in wait for them.
