''But they say, Rigdon, that wages de-

Eyes, but what demand would there
be for knit shirts made at 50 day when
you could import them from Germany

that cheap labor out"
"Then what will be the effect in Am

"Our wages will have to go down 100

An snakes Do Not Mss.

The popular idea that all snakes hiss
is incorrect when anacondas are in ques-
ton, if we may believe a close observer
of the serpent family. The sound they
make is more like growl than hiss
and has been well described by travel
er as Glow, roaring noise" Their pow
ers of deglutition are sufficiently Won
derful to make exaggeration unneces-
sary, credible witnesses testifying to the
fact that one has been known to swal-
low horse. while bullocks are not in
frequently attacked also. Few nonscien-
tific readers, by the way, are aware that
not only do the jaw hinges of the boa
tribe become dislocated in the act of
swallowing large animal, subsequently
resuming their proper position by means
of the elastic connecting tendons, but
that the skull bones separate centrally,
so the whole constitutes sort of quad
rangular orifce with apparently indefi-
mite powers of xpansion.-Detroit Free

Points From Great Britain.

The Irish Textile Journal, published
in Belfast, prints letter from a CORE
spondent showing how the foreign linen
industry is favored by the Wilson bill,
and with its passage it says 1.-The tomb
stone may be set over the grave of the
American linen industry" The Man
chester Textile Manufacturer deprecates
too much truth telling for fear it may
hinder the passage of the Wilson bill.
1t says: "a good many opinions and
good many valuable figures have been
kept back because Bradford men fear
that capital will be made of them by
American Republicans" But its Joy
over the free wool clause cannot be con
tanned, and it adds: There is 100 per
cent less duty ON the manufactured ar
ticle from Bradford, and the American
manufacturer will get only % cents con
cession on his wool for the two pounds
that produce yard of cloth. How, I'M
der such circumstances, can the free
wool clause hurt the Bradford manufac-
turer?' Philadelphia Press.

How was heat originally impaired to
our great luminary2 Was he "born in
fire" and has he been in an active state
of combustion since the day of his birth,
or was he once "a darksome body, fit
ting hither and thither and yet going
nowhere in particular"
If once a mighty planet of somber hue,
why is he now the torchlight as well as
the heating apparatus of great system
of worlds, and, being both, who is equal
to the task of calculating even the cycle
of time wherein the great change took
place? It may have been that there were
no worlds in what is now the solar sys-
tenn prior to that time, or, if there were,
probably only two.
These two black giants of this dark
ened portion of the great universe may
have collided and coalesced into vast
nebula, from whence the whole of our
system has been evolved. If light and
heat were thus mechanically produced
and still retained to a certain degree in
our sun, the largest fragment of the two
colliding worlds, is it not altogether like
ly that the great solar fires will finally
burn out and that as a result man and
all living creatures will become extinct
on all of the inhabited planets2-St. Louis

AMERICAN lin PLATE.

Here Is One Large Firm That Buys Some
and Says It Is Good Too.
Up to late last fall we have purchased
all of our tin plates in Wales. Along in
November we bought 900 boxes of tin
plates from the American Tin Plate COM
pany, Elwood, Ind. They cost us just
cents per box less than we could have
imported them for. The quality was
excellent, and our canmakers were well
pleased with the plates. In the manu-
facture Of our cans last year it required
over 1000 boxes Of tin plate. This sea
son we propose to use all domestic
plates. 1t will only be short time be-
fore the competition between American
manufacturers will bring down the
price to lower figure than they can be
made in Wales and imported without
duty, or nearly.

American and English Systems and thu
Chances In Holding Hands.

American and English Systems and thu
Chances In Holding Hands.
There are two recognized systems, the
English and the American. In English
whist the game is five points and honors
ace, king, queen and knave Of the
trump suit-are counted. In American
whist the game is still five points, but
honors are not counted The old Eng
fish game-long whist-consisted of
10 points, with honors counted. Ameri-
can whist is not the same as American
leads. These leads can be played by in
dividual players, whatever the game
may be-
Richard A Proctor has written a
good book on Glow to Play Whist. :"
He has also contributed articles to vari-
GUS magazines ON the subject Of chances
in card games. He calculated that there
are no less than $50, 013, 500, 900 ways
of making a whist hand, and that there
is only one chance in 1913, 1853, 389, 900
and then, of course, the dealer
trumps must be taken-of holding 18
trumps. Out Of 1857, 583, 500 hands
dealt 342, 1879, 219 hands will contain
four cards of two SUITS three cards Of
one and two cards of one suit. There
are 9S, 534, orc, O72 ways of making a
hand that shall contain one five card
suit, two three card suits and one two
card suit and 80, 900, 900, 900 ways of
making hand containing five cards Of
one suit, four of another, three of a
third and two of a fourth. Fourth in the
order of frequency comes the hand con
tanning one five card suit, one four card
suit and two two card suits There are
81, 1879, 1886, $40 ways Of making this
hand
''Only fifth in order of frequency,
says Proctor, "comes the hand which
many suppose the most frequent, that Of
greatest uniformity of distribution, " one
four card suit and three three card suits.
There are Sc, 900, 800, 100 ways of MAX
ing this hand The sixth hand, in point
of frequency, is that which contains six
cards of one suit, three of another and
two cards fro each of two suits Speak
ing of whist chances, Mr.. Pabctor dis
cusses the Marlborough hand, " which
contains no card over nine. 1t was so
called because Lord Marlborough used to
wager 81, 900 TO 81 that hand Of the
sort would not be dealt. The chance that
such hand will be dealt is one in 1928

"You will not find one woman in a

"Ladies insist on having crests embossed

Women who are interested in these
things should observe the regulations set
down for the use of spinsters, married
women and widows. A specified frame
for the arms should be used by each.
The spinster is required to put her fam
ily arms into diamond frame, with
very simple adornment. When wom-
an marries, the arms of her family must
be put on the same shield with the arms
of her husband. The shield is impaled,
the wife's arms occupying one position
and the husbands the other. If she be-
comes a widow, the frame for her arms
again assumes the form Of a diamond,
symbolizing her unmarried state, while
her arms and the arms of her deceased
husband remain impaled as formerly
