Continuous Steel Pipe.

The West Australian government has
taken contract to lay nearly $50 miles
of water pipe of novel character. This
pipe is to be made of steel spirals pack
ed in concrete. Sheet metal is cut into
strips of the required width. These are
fed into machine and welded into one
continuous strip. As the strip is fed ir-
to the machine rivet holes are punched;
then the edges Of the laps are brought
together by machinery and held during
the process of riveting, which is all
done by compression. The lap is thrown
on the outside of the pipe, rendering the
inner surface sooth and even throughout
it's length. A tenacious hydraulic &C.
ment is packed around the laps, making
the pipe absolutely water tight. New

SERVANTS EXCUSES.
One Woman who Was Clever Enough
to Circumvent Them.

One Woman who Was Clever Enough
to Circumvent Them.
We have heard the story of the Cana
dian mistress who with seven servants
in her house, was obliged to go to the
garden and pick berries for the table.
Each of the servants declined the task
with the stereotyped excuse, "It amt
my place to pick berries. . Ord. in his
History of Cleveland, relates an an
ecdote of Margaret Wharton, who,
while accepting her servants excuse,
yet made them do her will.
In one of her visits to Scarborough
Mrs. Wharton, with her usual economy,
had family pie for dinner, which she
directed the footman to convey to the
bakehouse. This the man declined to
do as not belonging to his place, or
rather, as derogatory to his conse-
quence. The lady then moved the ques-
tion to the coachman, but found still
stronger objection.
To save the pride of both Mrs.
Wharton resolved to take the pie to the
shop herself She ordered one man to
harness and bring out the horses and
the other to mount and ride behind and
thus the errand was done with all honor
and ceremony. Then in due time the
coachman was ordered to put to Sec
ond time and the footman to mount be-
hind, and Mrs. Wharton brought back
the pie in the same dignified state.
"Now," said the lady to the coach
man, "you have kept your place, which
is to drive, and you yours, " to the foot
man, (which is to wait, and mine,
which is to have my pie for dinner"

AN EFFECTIVE PARABLE.
General Joubert's Story Saved the
Lives OF the Jameson Raiders.

General Joubert's Story Saved tho
Lives OF the Jameson Raiders.
A most interesting account, OF the
manner in which the lives OF Jameson
and his mon were spared, after the sur
rhnder to the Beers, is told by the
Nieuws Van den Dag of Amsterdam:
The stern old Beers, when they had
Jameson and his fellow officers in their
hands, determined to execute the lead
ers of the band at daybreak. The meet
ing took place in President Kruger's
house, 20 being present, OF whom the
great majority, wild with indignation
at the sudden inroad into their terri
tory, were for shooting the British Off
GERS at once.
President Kruger opposed this sum-
mary plan and used all his eloquence
and all his influence ON behalf OF the
prisoners. For a long time his efforts
were vain. 1t was o'clock in the
morning, and the presidents opponents
were still for execution. The lives Of
the foreigners hung by thread.
At length General Joubert, one OF the
few who agreed with the president, had
recourse to the old time Boer method Of
convincing his hearers. He made use of
parable.
"Friends, he said, twill you not
listen to my voice once more? Suppose
that close to my farm lives bad neigh
Dor who keeps fierce hounds in his
house, worrying my sheep exceedingly
and also killing some What, then,
would you have me to do? Should I kill
the hounds to be free of this worry?
Truly my neighbor would say unto me !:
Thou hast killed my hounds, yet their
value is greater than the value of your
sheep. Pay thou mel Is it not better
that should take the hounds and 60
ing into my neighbours house say,
'These are thine; now pay me for the
harm they have done my fock?' "
There was silence, and the general
continued: "We have caught the pack.
Is it not better to send them to the
British government with demands for
reparation, lest the British send more
hounds to worry us anew"
The old form of argument, proved
successful. The wisdom of moderation
became apparent, and the council Of
war accepted the advice of their chiefs.

THE DEADLY CIGARETTE
Explains the Large Number Of Militia
Reflections

the Large Number Of Militia
Reflections
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE large
number of reflections Of volunteers mas
caused much comment in the army medical
corps. However, the physicians who have
conducted the examinations say that out
side of the ranks of cigarette smokers
there are even fewer reflections than there
were in the days of the civil war. Among
habitual users of the cigarette the rejec-
tions are about 30 per cent, and DR.. Ben
jamin King of Philadelphia, who acted os
an examining surgeon during 1S61-6S in
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illi-
nois, says that the average reflections dur
ing those years did not exceed 13 per cent.
He attributes the large increase almost
entirely to the cigarette habit. II have
been inspecting the papers in a number Of
cases under the present recruiting act"
said DR.. King, land observe that most Of
the men who failed to pass examination
have weak hearts or lack the vitality nee
essary to make good soldier.
II had expected that the percentage Of
reflections would be greater now than in
1861, but did not dream that It would be
almost three times as great. The exam
have generally told me that the excess Of
reflections Is due to the large number Of
young men applying for enlistment who
have become victims Of the cigarette
habit"

SHOULD SUE FOR PEACE
BEFORE IT Is
TOO LATE =
GOOD ADVICE OFFERED SPAIN
Which, Like Most Other Free Counsel,
Comes Too Late to Be Of the
Slightest Use
Associated Press Special Wire

Associated Press Special Wire
WASHINGTON. May 1O.-As a result of
the Spanish reverse at Manila, leading
members Of the diplomatic corps. repre-
senting some Of the most influential of the
great powers Of Europe, have unoff1cially
exchanged views on the opportuneness of
movement, dictated by the most friendly
spirit and in the interest of peace, toward
urging upon Spain the futility Of further
prosecuting the war and inducing her to
sue for peace on the basis Of the relinquish-
ment Of Cuba, the promise Of war in
demnity and the occupation Of Manila by
Admiral Dewey until the war indemnity Is
paid.
1t was stated tonight by one Of the most
influential members Of the diplomatic
corps, an ambassador, that such a step by
Spain was the logical result Of the crush
ing Spanish defeat at Manila, and that
Spain herself should be the first to recog-
nize it as measure for her own self-pro-
lection and self-preservation. Her best
friends in the family of nations ought to
urge it upon Spain, this ambassador said,
for 1t was now patent to the world that
spain's military and naval strength was
grotesquely inadequate to cope with tho
forces Of the United States, and Sapnish
pride would ultimately be humbled into
peace on far more severe terms than she
might be able to obtain now.
While expressing the view which such
positiveness 1t was put forward only as
tentative and not as a move which the
European powers had actually begun.
At the time 1t indicated a new trend Of
feeling among the leading foreign repre-
sentatives in Washington. This discus
sion has been entirely unofficial and with
out advices from their own governments,
but 1t is said that Spain's plight is such at
the present moment that movement on
the other side may begin at any time to-
wards inducing Spain to make terms for
closing the war. In such move, 1t Is
pointed out, those powers which have been
friendly to Spain, particularly Austria and
France, might well join in urging her to
sue for peace before 1t is too late. 1t Is
said that the nations most friendly to
Spain might suffer almost as much as
Spain herself by q prclongation Of the war
and the ultimate humiliation Of Spain.
At the same time. those powers most
friendly to the United States, particularly
Great Britain and Russia, would, it is be-
lieved. join In any movement promising to
restore the peace of the world.
1t was stated with positiveness at several
Of the embassies and legations today that
Intervention In the sense of staying the
course Of the United States was no longer
being discussed, and that only such inter-
vention as would induce Spain to sue for
peace was possible under the existing con-
dition of affairs.
The military attaches connected with the
foreign establishments here say that Ad-
miral Montijo and his entire STAFF OF Of
ticers ought to be and undoubtedly will be
