the knowledge that so many forms of

A NATIONAL OBJECT.
The Irrigation Congresses are Not
 Merely Local Affairs

The national irrigation congress convention was in session at Phoenix, Arizona, last week and was a gather ing of men seldom equaled in intelli- gence and good citizenship under sim liar auspices. They had in view na- tional aid in opening up the vast arid regions to the settlement of enterpris- ing farmers and fruit raisers A most worthy and far-seeing object almost any one would venture
 But a vail comes up from the nar- row minded east to the effect that the object is local one and not a nation al one. Nothing but narrow minded brain could pronounce it as such Millions upon millions have been ex- pended in improving rivers and har- bors and in building collosal govern ment buildings throughout the east They are for the benefit of commerce and trade-yet the money has been ex- penoea manner that might be claimed local. Yet no one objects be- cause they are necessity. Why should the east object to spending z

Why not encourage the building of commercial centers of the west as we'll as the east ?

Now I can exercise freely; the shortness of breath has left | me, as has also my heart trouble. While taking your remedies I made trip to the Pacific coast. I was able to walk around quite good deal, which I had not been able to do pre- viously for number of years. On my return home my neighbors said | they had never expected to see me re- turn alive, but through the efficacy of kyour Obesity Remedies I have been greatly improved.

the Tower walls by the Barons of the realm
with John, who subsequently became
King, as their leader. Afterwards when
these same barons forced John to sign the
Magma Charta at Runnymede the Tower
was held as a pledge of the fulfillment of
its provisions. About 1910 this building
was treated to a coat of whitewash which
has given it the name of White Tower
The little princess, daughter of Edward
Ill, known as Blanche de Ia tour was so
called because of her having been born in
the tower The French and Scottish wars
brought many illustrious prisoners to Lon
don and some of them were lodged in the
White Tower among whom was Charles,
Duke of Orleans, taken at Agincourt, who
was given the freedom of the state apart
ments. 1t is also thought that David, King
of Scots, and John, King of France, were
temporarily confined here. 1t was in this
tower that Gloucester, afterwards Richard
Ill, was living when he determined to
murder his brothers children the sons of
Edward " and from the council chamber
therein he sent Lord Hastings to the block.
The records of the White Tower are al
most silent as to the criminals confined
therein but it is almost positively known
that some of the Kentish rebels taken in
1854 were lodged there.

USEFUL AND SALEABLE THINGS.

Many pretty and saleable things may be
made for fairs by girls who know how to
embroider. You may, for example, make
| notebook by cutting a piece OF white
linen little larger than the ordinary pad
which you buy at the stores for five or ten
cents. On this either draw in pencil or
stamp pretty pattern of leaves, flowers,
forget-me- e-nots, or vines or, if you choose,
| the letters which form motto or friends
name. Embroder these in delicate cOlors,
and then cover the outside flap of the pad
as neatly as possible. You will need a
yard or SO of ribbon to bind the back and
finish off the book with graceful little
bow. A spool-case is a convenient thing
to add to ones work basket. You take
two oval pieces of pasteboard, cover them
very neatly with silk or linen, on which
you have embroidered same dainty de-
vice, and on the inner side of each you
run little shirrs of silk, in which you fas-
ten spools of different sizes. One is al
ways losing spools or getting them tan
gled up, and by this contrivance you can
keep half-dozen spools in order. Such
case as this, if properly made, should
sell for one dollar at fair A pad for the
bottom of a writing case or bureau
drawer, made by laying a fold of wad-
ding, sprinkled with sachet-powder be-
tween two covers of silkoline or silk, is
sale.
A convenient case may be made to hold
the magazines which accumulate in fam
lily by simply covering two large pieces of
thick cardboard with linen, or canvas, on
which the little artist may paint a delicate
design if she prefers to do that with her
brush rather than with her needle. These
covers should be fastened together by
long pieces of broad white silk elastic,
and neat person will be very glad to put
in such case the half dozen papers or
magazines which otherwise litter up her
table. A pretty little book for engage
ments, addresses, etc, may be made by
covering cardboard with the crepe paper
Make this just like the cover of a little
book. Fasten inside a.small pad and pen
Gil, and to the outside attach little bunch
of paper violets perfumed and tied with
ribbon.

WONrERFUL GOLD LEAF.

The process by which gold is made into
thin leaves is called gold beating. AS yet
the use of the machinery for this purpose
is very limited nearly all gold leaf being
beaten by hand.
First the gold is cast into obleng ingots
and weighing two unces each. These in
ingots are passed between polished steel
rollers and flattened out into ribbons of
about an eight of an inch in
thickness. The ribbons are softened by
heat and cut into pieces an inch square.
One hundred and fifty of these pieces
are placed between vellum leaves, one
piece above another, and the entire pile is
inclosed in double parchment case and
beaten with 16 pound hammer until the
inch pieces are extendedto inch squares
They are then taken from the case, and
each square is cut into four pieces. The
pieces thus obtained are then placed be-
tween gold beater's skin-a delicate men,
brance prepared from the large intestine
of the ox-made into piles, inclosed in a
case and again beaten, but with a hammer
of lighter weight.
Still the leaves are not thin enough, and
once more each leaf is cut into four pieces
and again beaten. This last quartering
and beating produces 2, 800 leaves, and the
thickness of each leaf is about one two
undred-thousandths of an inch. Gold is
SO malleable that it is possible to obtain a
still greater degree of thinness, but not
proftably.
These thin leaves are taken up with
wood pinchers, placed on cushion,
blown out fiat and carefully cut into
squares 34 inches in size. The squares
are placed between the leaves of paper
books. which have previously been rubbed
with red chalk 70 prevent adhesions of
gold, each paper book containing %
squares or leaves of gold, and in this form
the leaf is sold, not by weight, but by
superficial measure.

Where sleeps thy early fame?
To death our priests are led,
Their tiocks lie slaughtered, dead.
Awake. good Pope Of Rome!
Our saints through blood go home;
Hear thou their dying plea,
Where, where is Italy?
Land of Fratern!te,
Brave France turn not away!
Shall blood thy lilies stain?
Wilt bear the curse Of Cain?
Wake! Wake! Wake!
For God and Glory's sake!
ON ghastly funeral pvre,
Brave men are burned with fire;
God calls to France, the free.
"Thy brother, where is hep
Lest God in wrath requite,
Awake, befrIend the right!
Where is good FreJerick's son
When evil deeds are done?
Shall prisons 1eek and rot,
His mothers blood speak not?
Haste! Haste! Haste!
Time ruds too long to waste,
If halts the Kaiser dumb.
Let all the people come.
Your oath must sacred stand,
Treaties of Fatherland;
Victims of Turk and Kurd
Rest on your plighted word.
Your SISTERS shame and blood
Cry out to England's God.
Slain on the church's floor,
Their blood flowed out the door.
Speak! Speak! Speak!
The strong must help the weak,
Leave Turkish bonds unsold;
Betray not Christ for gold
Let the Moslem dragon feel
Once more st. Georges heel.
