this is Of a light golden hue TO match
the brown and green silk which forms

It would hardly be thought that il
would be worth while to construct a
machine expressly for the cutting up Of
old ties for fuel. and yet the operation Of
a Few shearing machine which is used
for that purpose is said to have been
found most satisfactory. The blades are
about eight inches wide, with a clear
ance between them of about one inch, SC
that old spikes, etc, can pass through.
The machine is driven by belt wheel
and runs at about 20 strokes a minute,
cutting 100 cords Of wood per day from
ties and telegraph poles. The pieces are

in the non-Celtic portions. The highest
proportions are found in Cum berland

To destroy the sooty smell that often
fills a room after an open CRATE has been
closed for the summer have used news
papers and coffee Last week found
the library filed with a peculiar odOr,
as I have described, from the CRATE. l
had the girl make a fire with newspa-
pers, mixing freely ground coffee with
kindling wood and paper. There was
at first a decided smell of paper, but the
coffee soon began TO burn and acted as
a disinfectant. The whole atmosphere
of the room was seemingly purified, and
after a half hour airing it was the most
pleasant place in the house I closed the
doors and windows and opened the jar
containing the rose potpourri, shook up
the leaves, and in another half hour the
library was ready for you 10 enter, and
would have been greatly disappointed
had you not made some exclamation Of
pleasure as you met the delicate per-

The Boston Transcript says: zone Of
the most excited of the male 'remon-
strants' in New York is the lawyer,
Mr. Matthew Hale. In the June Forum
he attributes to women AN irrepressible
tendency to extreme exaggeratiOn- As
a glazing illustration of the peculiarly
feminine tendency he mentions that q
New York woman suffragist is reported
as saying, We have but one slave now
adays, and that slave is woman. He
seems not to be aware that the New
York woman was merely quoting a IA
nous saying of a distinguished man
Victor Hugo The use Of the word slav-
cry as Synonymous with deprivation OF
political rights is somewhat rhetorical,
no doubt, but masculine literature bris-
ties with it from the day when the
Scottish bard wrote:

See approach proud Edwards power

SQUIRE DEFENDS TACOMANs,
Hoke Smiths Uncomplimentary Vie1
of Western People.

Hoke Smiths Uncomplimentary Views
OF Western People.
TACOMA, July PA dispatch in the
Ledger says: Hoke Smith, the secretary of
the interior, started out with the assertion
that all western men are cheats, and are
trying to defraud the Indians, and has been
working on that principle ever since, and
DooIl.tIe must overcome this prejudice be-
fore he can get any favorable recommenda.
ton from the interior department..
The occasion of these observations was
the defeat in the senate of the amendment
to the Indian bill providing for
the opening to settlement of lands
IN the Puyallup reservation. During
the debate Cockrell declared that
the people Of Tacoma we're trying to steal
the lands from the Indians; that through
chicanery and disreputable methods con-
tracts bad been obtained with the Indians
and that it was apparently the desire of Ia
coma to cheat the Indians out OF their
lands
Squire resented this imputaton in strong
terms. He said the Missouri senator had
no grounds for his attack upon the people
of Tacoma. The Tacoma people were of
the higher type of citizens and their inte.,-
rity would compare with that of any COM
munity represented by the Missouri senator.
