An Object Less on.

We learn from the Pittsburg Times
that a large interest in the Ellwood
City Tin Plate company has been pur-
chased by Robert b. Byass & Co, of
Swansea Wales, one of the most eX-
tensive manufacturers of tin plate in
the world, and the capacity Of the
Enwood City company as a result Of
am agreement entered into with the
Welsh tin plate men, has secured the
latter's trade in the United States,
At the time of the enactment Of the
Dingley tariff law the Welsh manufac-
turers, it is explained, realizing that
their trade in America would be ruin
ed by it's rates, entered into negotia-
trade relations. Byass & Co. have had
an extensive business in the United
| States for years on fine specialties. 1t
is announced that by the terms of the
agreement Byass & Co. purchase a
minority interest in the Ellwood com
| pany and will place Sydney A. Byass
| of the Swansea firm on the board OF
| directors, Byass & Co. relinquishinG
all rights to the manufacture and sale
of the m. f." brand of roofing tin in
| the United States. The work OF
doubling the capacity of the Ellwood
plant is under way, but according t.

EXPERIMENTS ON HORSES.


From the Popular Science Monthly.
Physiological experiments are of various
kinds, and while some are of such a char
acter as to suggest careful guards, there
are probably others to which animals
may be Indifferent, or which may be even
agreeable to them. OF the last seems to
be one described by DR.. +. A. de
Schweinitz in a recent address before the
Chemical society, of Washington. "A
fine blooded horse, not available for or
binary use on account of his propensity
TO run away, was converted into sub
iect for the cultivation of the tuber-
culin antitoXine. lie was, of course, eX-
pected 10 rebel; but, on the contrary, he
received the hypodermis injection of the
poison of the tuberculosis germ in quiet
ness and even seemed interested in
watching the operation. As burned
child breads the fire, it was supposed he
would resist the second operation. But
as soon as he observed the bottle, he
trotted toward him with pleasure, stood
quietly looking around with intelligence
while the injection was made, and ever
afterward lent himself to the experiment
with as much evident pleasure and in
terest as that of the investigators"

Church r1usic.

The Methodist Episcopal Congress, in
session at Pittsburg, discussed the in
terestng topic of church music the
other day. In the course of the papers
read the comment was made that the
average precentor acts as though
Methodist tunes should be jigs. Choir
masters and music committees should
refuse mutilated hymns altered to suit
the ideas of incompetent persons, and
sacred words set to tunes of sentiment
tai love songs. 1t was also suggested
that in the future the church choir win
cease to be the "war department Of the
church"
If this last state is attained it will
only be by official recognition of the
modern conditions of music in the SER
vice. In many cases this part of the
worship has reached such a condition
as to be a menace to the progress of
the church. The tendency of the times
is in the direction of professional choir
singers, and while perhaps less quar-
relng goes on in such cases than when
local talent, belonging to various fac
tions in the community, is employed
the results are not always satisfac-
tory. There can be no sort of doubt
that in fashionable churches less spir-
itual benefit is derived from the pres
ent day method of engaging profes.
sional singers, who are looked upon
not in the light of fellow worshippers
in whom an interest Of churchlv fra
ternity is felt, but simply as hired en-
tertainers, who add distinction to the
organization in somewhat the same
way as a particularly fine window, Of
an ornate pulpit, adds distinction t
the edlfice than was characteristic o.
the good old way when singing wa'
done by those who had their hearts il
the song service.
From a choir singers point of view
equally disadvantageous features ar
seen. If the average professiona
singer in a quartette finds herself abl
to fill an engagement in a fashionabl
church, and leave with a shred of voca
reputation remaining, not to mention

VICTORY FOR HUMOR.


From the Washington Post.
The man who laughs is a blessing to
the human race, but greater still is the
man who makes other people laugh. 1t
pays sometimes to be a humorist. Even
our old friend Tammas, who entertained
the good people Of Thrums with profess
sional fun, albeit his jokes We're as dry
as oatmeal itself, appreciated the i'm
portanCe of the humorist.
An incident happened in New York re-
Gently which may aptly be described as
Il victory for humOr. Nathan Plotkin
bought a loaf of bread from Moses Loen-
thai. Regarding Il knife as superfiuous,
Nathan took a huge bite, screamed and
turned pale. There was a mouse in the
bread. 81 haf in my bread a mouse
found" he complained later to Loenthal,
"and in my madness | haf some dishes
smashed What are you goin' to do apoud
dot?"
If he had not been n humorist, Loen-
thai would have gravely undertaken to
explain the accidental presence of the
mouse and would have sOOthed his GUS
toner with promises of future loaves con-
! tanning -four only. on the contrary, Loen-
thai laughed lie raised his hands and
cried: "Nhat you expect for cents
Elephants?" And then Plotkin, VINO ought
| to have been amused grew angry. He
| fell upon Loenthal and smote him hip
and thigh. He could not appreciate hui
| NOR.
| Now Plotkin has gone to jail The
Judge laughed. the jury laughed and even
! the idle spectators in the court room
were entertained by Loenthaps retort
It was decided that Plotkin had no cause
| for assault, and now he will have ample
time to inoculate himself with love fol
humor in the quiet of his cell. We are
glad of it. There is so much grim sor'
row in the world, there is so evident a
disposition to give a pessimistic turn tc
every minor trouble. and we are all sc
prone to anger that when man like
| Loenthal seeks to disarm wrath will
ready wit we are disposed to regarC
him as benefactor to the human race
! We are pleased to chronicle this vic
tory for humor. 1t is evident that al

Increase the Army.

General Miles wants congress TO
spend SIS, 100000 next year on coast de-
fense, an increase of S12. 100000 over the
average annual outlay for this pur-
pose; and he also wants power put in
the presidents hands to increase the
size of the regular army at his dis
erection to 10000 men, or one soldier for
every 1000 civilians. Partly in justifi-
cation of this recommendation for an
increase in the army, General Miles
dwels on the necessities of Alaska
since the rush to the gold fields. He
says there are about 10000 Indians in
the territory many of them armed
with modern guns. While they are
peaceful now, the history of the set
tlement of the west, he says, teaches
there may be trouble with the natives.
He points to the need of military roads
and telegraphs, the bridging of rivers
and other pioneer work in a new terri
tory, and advises the establishment of
several military posts in Alaska. He
also notes by inference the possibility
of friction with foreign nations over
questions either pending or likely at
any time to arise, and asserts with
much truth that the best guarantee
of peace is preparedness for war Here
is his exact language on this point:
Although the general desire of our
people is to maintain a condition of
peace with all nations, and the policy
of the government is one of good will
and peaceful relations with all others,
yet nothing could be more injudicious
than to remain in a condition of in
security and permit the lives of mill
lions and the accumulated wealth of
many generations to be destroyed or
endangered by any foreign power with
which we are liable to come into con-
tact. and the general plan for defense
which has been adopted by the gov
ernment should be steadily pursued
until the nation is in a condition of
security and safety which a due re-
gard to self-preservation would de-
mand."
This position for some reason is not
a popular one in this country. The
American people in many respects are
improvident, putting off to the last
minute precautions which should have
been taken first. Because the regular
army as a rule is not busy in serious
work there is an impression among
perhaps a majority of civilians that it
is kind of ornamental affair, of small
practical value and therefore not to
be increased as the country's growth
and spread of interests call for a pro-
portionate expansion of military in
surance. This sentiment overlooks the
fact that the army stands in much the
same relation to the country that the
municipal fire department does to the
city. Its hours of battle are few as
compared with its hours of ease. but
when it is needed to do battle it is
needed badly. And it is the same with
coast fortifications. They are not re.
quired often, but when required the
demand for them is urgent. The
money spent on them is a cheap form
of insurance compared with the risl
involved in neglecting them. 1t is higf
time these facts We're appreciated 10y
our people. Arbitration treaties arr
admirable in their way but guns anC
soldiers are not yet obsolete nor ar,
they likely to be during this or tn,
succeeding generation.
