One WAY of Marking Clothes.

A young woman who has a weakness
for novelties has invented a new way OF
marking her belongings. Indelible ink
she scorned as belonging to the distant
past, and embroidered monograms and
initials she voted commonplace. Even
the pretty device of embroidering her
possessions with her fayorite flower final
ly lost its charm, and her latest fancy is
to have her own face produced.
She had some tiny and not unfatter-
ing photographs taken, and they are now
being transferred to the corners of her
handkerchiefs, the bands Of her skirts,
the capes of her collars and all the other
places where the sign Of possession Is
usually fixed. Buffalo News

USE OF A FLYING MACHINE.
What May BE Gained by the Perfection of
the Invention.


the Invention.
What important purpose can flight in
air serve? Maxim, Langley and all who
have studied the subject thoroughly
agree that the speed of aeriation will
greatly exceed that Of any terrestrial
locomotiOn.
From this follows an entire economic
change in the direction of rendering i'm
mense tracts of comparatively worthless
territory at distances of 20 to 40 miles
from cities much more available.
There would also result the relegat-
ing of city property in large measure
to business and storage purposes.
This would to large extent accom-
plish what Henry George signs for, but
would do it by means which do not in
volve any wrong to the laud owner by
the wage Garner.
With flying navies capable of carry.
ing unseen at night large quantities Of
explosives to the center of a city war
would become SO destructive that it
would be soon sIIpplanted by arbitra-
ton as matter Of common sense and
self preservation.
ternational police system controlling ma
lions as we do individuals, and enforc-
ing the DEGREES of boards of arbitration,
would be enormously assisted by this
power of rapid and if necessary destruc-
tive patrolling.
Immense areas of country, now we'll
nigh impenetrable, would be opened to
usefulness. Large sources of wealth
would thus be added to the civilized
world and would result in the amelio-
ration of the condition of the savages of
such regions as central Africa.
We should have to give up selfish leg
islation and restriction upon the COM
MERGE of other nations, and be obliged
perforce to ''stand on a broader her
itage than that of a nation or of zone. -

WAY to Cook Corned Beef.

Wash it thoroughly and put it into a
pot that will hold plenty of water. The
water should be cold. Skim carefully.
1t is not too much to allow 40 minutes
for every pound after it has begun to
boil. The goodness of corned beef de-
ponds much on its being boiled gently
and long. If it is to be eaten cold, lay
it into Il warm earthen dish or pan and
put over it a piece of board the size of
the meat. Upon this put clean stone
or some other heavy weight. Salt meat
is very much improved by being pressed.

Ex-Governor RUSSELL of Massachusetts,
argues, with great force, that the business
d;stresses from which the country suffers
are altogether due in so far as they are in
,luenced by political action, to existing re-
publican legislation which the country
has condemned and not to i'm
pending legislation intended to carry
into effect the peoples will. He
says: There has net been year from the
close of the war until 1S5S in which tariff
reduction was not promised and impend-
ing The war tariff i self was passed with
a pledge that it should be reduced when
the necessity for a war revenue was over,
but never did the anticipation of tariff re-
duction cause panic or business distress.
Not until our revenue fell off, and the gold
WAS exported and the gold reserve i'm
paired, and silver purchases enormously
increased-all acts directly chargeable to
republican legislation-not until then was
confidence destroyed.

SENTIMENT should play no part in the
game of politics that is now on. The
effort of the republicans to turn the eyes
OF the public from their own shameful
i pings 10y calamity bowling methods is a
practical admission of the weakness of
their cause. In his remarks to the council
Just after taking the oath of office Mayor
Kilduf said: j think that partisanship
should not enter into the doings of this
board We should work for the prosperity
OF Waterbury," Less than twenty -four
hours from the time the words were
spoken the republican members of the
lower chamber were fighting to gain an
unfair advantage over the democrats, by
securing three of the four members of the
board of road commissioners. They COM
pletely ignored the advice given by Mayor
kilduf1 and brought on a struggle in which
they now find themselves placed on the
defensive. The democrat, have right and
equity on their side and must not be

they have taken. If ever an exhibition of
tirmness was in order it is now.
