Beef Eating In Japan.

A Japanese contributor in Tho Popular
Science Monthly says: when l was a
young boy, the custom of eating beef be-
gan to spread AS blood was regarded as
unclean, and also as Japan had been a
strong agricultural country, there was a
deep rooted disinclinntion to eat beef. In
this of course, one has also to recognize
the influence of the vegetarian principle of
Buddhism, but to anybody who had ever
tasted beef it was so delicious that he could
hardly control his natural appetite by his
religious scruple. My father was one of
those who knew its taste, and so now and
then we used to treat ourselves to beef.
But where did we eat itS We did not eat
it inside of the house. We cooked it and
ate it in the open air, and in cooking and
in eating we did not use the ordinary uten-
sils, but used the special ones kept for the
purpose. Why all these thingss Because
beef was unclean, and we did not like to
spread its uncleanliness into our house
wherein the gods shelf is kept, and into
cur ordinary utensils, which might be
used in making offerings to the gods. The
day when we ate beef my father did not
offer lights to the gods nor say evening
prayers to them, as he did usually, for he
knew he was unclean and could not ap-
proach the gods"

SECRETARY HOWARD
Reports the Outlook For the CSseon
Manufacturing Industry Encouraging

Reports the Outlook For the Coeeon
Manufacturing Industry Encouraging.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Jan. 6-According
to the annual report of Secretary Robert
Howard Of the Spinners' union, issued
Saturday morning, the outlook for the
cotton manufacturing industry for the
new year is encouraging. Continuing, he
said: The past year has been remarkable
one for reductions in wages, business de-
preston, and the failure of many strikes,
owing to the poorly organized condition of
the workers.
He advises the men to organize and
shows the benefits the spnners derived
from their union during the last long
struggle For the year the following
sums of money were distributed by the
union: Strikes, S13, 633; for stoppage pay.
sl1, 223; accident pay, 42525; victimized
pay, S9l95; deaths, Sl25, making grand
total of S25, 1925.
He also points out to the members that
the weakness of the labor movement is the
apparent readiness of the members to be-
lieve ill of their leaders and concludes his
report with an admonition for all the
operators who are not members of the
various unions to join at once so that they
will be prepared to make solid front to
the employers.

TARIFF PROPOSITIONS.
Ways aud Means Committee VIII BE Caiied
Together to Consider Them.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Chairman Wilson
will call meeting of the ways and means
committee association as quorum OF the
members arrives to consider several I'M
portant measures before that committee
The foremost of these contemplate an in
crease of the revenues of the government
by raising the internal revenue tax Oh
various articles.
Representative Pence Of Colorado intro
duced a resolution previous to the holiday
recess, calling for information from the
tire asury department as to the amount
which would be realized from putting 6
tax on beer and increasing the tax or
whisky. The resolution was referred tt
Mr. Wilson's committee, and it will bt
one of the first subjects taken up, as there
is growing feeling among members OF
the committee that some plan of increas
ing the revenues of the government mus
be devised and put in the form OF law be-
fore the long recess begins.
Representative Moneys bill to raise tht
tax on beer will be considered in the samt
connection. Another measure to be con
sidered is the bill to take off the one tenth
differential ON sugar. This differentla
has stirred Germany, France, Denmark
Belgium and other countries to take re
taliatory measures against American com
merce, so that the proposed bill seeks tt
overcome the commercial warfare witt
these countries

Soldering Aluminium.

One of the drawbacks to the general use
Of aluminium has been the difficulty of
soldering it. Many persons have entirely
failed In their attempts to unite alumni
ium and other metals or to join two
pieces of aluminium. A film of oxide
formed upon the surface of the metal
seems to be the cause of the nonadherence,
and this all ordinary methods have here
tofore failed to remove Recent expert
ments have brought out new methods,
and compound of 90 parts of tin, 25
of aluminium and 25 of silver makes a
solder that has thus far worked admira.
bly,. 1t is necessary to keep a clean metal
surface, and this can be done. by heating
the aluminium to be united until the sol
der can be kept in a soft state for an in
slant after contact with the plates or Sec
tions. This causes coating of the solder
to adhere to the surface of the metal, and
no further trouble is experienced. 1t has
been suggested that the outside of alumni
ium articles that are to be put together
should have coating of this solder ap-
piled to their edges. If this were done,
the difficulty would be removed, as the
coating, already firmly fixed, would need
no further preparation.-New York Led

Debate on the Currency Bill Continued
by Representative BOatner.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6-The house in the
morning hour passed resolution to pay
the funeral expenses OF Colonel William
r. Fitch, for 81 years n doorkeeper i'll the
house. who died Christmas day.
The debate on the currency bill was be-
gun bv Mr.. Boatner Dem., La.) who ex-
pressed surprise at the opposition to the
measure which had developed on the
Democratic side of the house He paid u
tribute to the abilities of Secretary Car
Isle and dwelt upon the duty of support
ing him, which, he said, rested upon
Democrats
In the course of the speech Mr.. Bland
(Dem., MOI put several questions to show
that the administration had adopted the
gold policy and finally declared that it's
financial platform was n fraud if there
was no intention to carry it out. asserting
that platforms should mean something.
Mr.. Boatner asked if Mr.. Bland had not
been a supporter of President Cleveland
in the last campaign, whereupon Mr..
Rland responded that he had supported
the platform and had voted for the can
didate, and that the party had gone down
in ignominous defeat for its treachery and
fraud.
Mr.. Pence Pop. Colo) brought up Sec
retary Carlisle's advocacy of silver while n
member of the house, in supporting the
Matthews resolution, and asked if soon
after accepting the cabinet portfolio he
had not announced his intention of pay
ing some of the governments obligations
in silver, and had not been ''called down."
Mr.. Boatner replied that it was useless to
revive free silver as a factor of the cur
rency question
Mr.. Bland retorted, you can't run the
Democratic party on Republican lines,
and no mugwump can change its policy"
Mr.. Boatner continued that it was the
mistake of the century when the admins
tration refused to pay obligations in silver
as well as gold
1--WE should no longer keep ourselves on
exhibition" Mr.. Boatner concluded, ''as
unable to agree on single measure that
promises relief to the people"
Mr.. Lacey (Rep, Ia.) followed in oppo.
sition to the bill, asserting that the people
did not distrust the currency, that the
liability of the governments revenue to
meet its expenses was the real trouble and
the cause for bond issues made ostensibly tc
maintain the gold reserve
Mr.. Cochran Dem, n. " followed,
Urging that the bill was not aparty meas
nse and should not be treated as a party
question.
