white feathers.

White cowhide has long been used
for various purposes, though its place
has now been taken to a considerable
extent by other and cheaper feathers. II
is used, for example, in making sus-
pender tips, and its use in making mill
tary belts is familiar. For this purpose
it is made up with the flesh side out
and the belts are whitened as occasion
may require with chalk or pipe clay.
White calfskin is more extensively
used than white cowhide. White calf IL
used for fine and costly work in boob
binding, it may be for gift books, and
sometimes for prayer books White call
is also used for suspender tips.
More extensively used than either
white cowhide or white calfskin are
the white sheepskins White sheepskin
is used also for suspender tips, and fol
covering trusses and other articles Of
metal, and for the trimmings of shoes.
1t is used for book binding. especially
for the binding of medical books, in
which use it is first sprinkled with q
coloring material which gives it mot
tied appearance. New York Sun

wonder when you and will cross
overl Some of you have had about
enough of the humping and failing OF
this life. A draft from the fountains OF
heaven would do you good. Complete
release you could stand very well. II
YOU got on the other side and had per-
mission to come back. you would not
come. Though you were invited to
come back and join your friends on
earth. you would say: "No, let me tar

Oh, join hands with you in that

When the shore is won at last,
Who will count the pillows pastf
in Freyburg, Switzerland. there Is
the trunk of a tree 400 years old. That
tree was planted to commemorate an
event. About ten miles from the city
the Swiss conquered the Burgundians,
and young man wanted TO take the
tidings to the city. He took tree
branch and ran with such speed the ten
miles that when he reached the city
waving the tree branch he had only
strength to cry, "VictoryP' and drop
ped dead. The tree branch that he car
ried was planted. and it grew to be a
great tree 90 feet in circumference, and
the remains of it are there to this day.
Ny nearer, when you have fought your
last battle with sin and death and hell,
and they have been routed in the con-
fiict, it will be JOY worthy of celebra-
ton. You will fly to the city and cry,
Victory" and drop at the feet of tho
great King. Then the palm branch Of
the earthly race will be planted to be-
come the outbranching tree of eyerlast-
ing rejoicing.

At best torpedo boats are frail struc-
lures in which everything is sacrificed
to speed, says Professor Ira n. Hollis
in The Atlantic. Even a voyage across
the Atlantic is perilous, and they are OF
no use whatever unless accompanied by
q coal supply. The protection against
torpedo boats is provided by number
of rapid fire guns, and when we consld'
err that one shot would be likely TO de-
stroy the motive power of one of these
little craft we can understand what a
slender chance she would have if dis
covered. The Iowa could fire at least 1870
of these shots per minute ON each broad
side and could thus surround the ship
with a perfect rain of projectiles delly-
cred with great accuracy Of aim. In a
feet action such small vessel would
be like a small boy who has interfered
in a street fight among men.

WOODS USED IN GOLF.

Dogwood, PersImmon and Hickory Now
In Universal Demand.
In Scotland, from time immemorial,
beech and hornbeam have been regarded
as the best wood for golf club heads and
ash as the most pliable and springy for
the shafts. Ono effect Of the growth Of
the game in the United States has been
the introduction Of dogwood and per-
simmon for beads and Of hickory for
shafts into Great Britain. 1t is an old
story now that this season the Scottish
handmade golf clubs are rivaled on the
home market by machine turned clubs
from this country, but the importation
of the woods named in rough blocks in
to Scotland has gone on for some two
years and is steadily increasing. The
first wood turner to take up the saving
and shaping of club heads in the rough
in this country has his shop in New
York. It is Oh an upper floor in fac
tory on the west side, dingy, sawdust
filled room, in which the dust from the
whirling band saws settles on the cloth

Willie Dunn, then at Shinnecock

UngratefuI Spain

Spain is not satisfied to be LETT

Ladrones and TO get sac, 900, 900
for the Philippines. The President
during the war needed but to say
the word in order to accomplish
the capture OF every island owned
by Spain in the Pacific. He had
but to say the word and the Can
aries would have been ours, and
the seaports of Spain likewise.
There is no reason, except gener-
osIfY, for handing over one dollar
for the Philippines. Nevertheless
Spain is not content. She has the
efrontery to ask that the destruc-
tion Of the Maine be declared an
accident. Her design is to get an
acknowledgment which, officially
at least, would free her from the
stain OF hideous and treacherous
crime.
The answer to that request
should be a demand for the detec
ton and punishment OF the assas
sins who sent zoo American sail.

We know now pretty we'll what
it will stipulate,
twill shoulder upon the country
not only the goVernance and re-
demption of Cuba and Porto Rico
from the semi-barbarism in which
Spanish misrule has lett them, but
also the conquest aud control Of
the Philippines aud other Spanish
possessions in the South Seas.
Now, suppose the judgment OF
the Senate should be - as is by no
means unlikelY-that in these ar
rangements Mr.. Mckinley has
undertaken more than the people
want to undertake1
In that case the Senate need not
reject the treaty ofpeace. 1t may
amend it by striking out the clause
requiring US to buy a war in the
Philippines at cost OF Sac, 900
and substituting for it provision
giving us a coaling station there.
