"Well. what was his mission ?"
Hair for vioIin Bnwa.

Horse hair used in making violin and
other similar bows is imported from
Germany; a considerable part of the
hair thus imported, however, coming
originally from Russia. Horse hair for
these purposes is white and black; the
black is the heavier and stronger, and
this is used in making bows for bass
viols, because it bites the big strings
better. In preparing the strings for
use in bowmaking the white hair, used
for violin bows, is bleached to bring it
to its final whiteness.
The standard violin bow is twenty
nine inches in length; longer bows are
made to order. Shorter bows are used
by young persons; but the bow COM
monty seen in the hands Of a violin
player is twenty-nine inches long.
Horse hair for violin bows is imported
in various lengths, but mostly in
lengths of thirty-six inches. Hair suf-
ficient for one bow is put together in
what is called hank; the hanks are
tied up in bundles of a dozen hanks;
these are bundled in crosses and the
gross bundles are put together in great
crosses, in which shape the hair is i'm
ported. There are grades and quail
ties of the horse hair, but the best is
not vesy costly. A hank of the best
white hair can be bought for twenty
cents; it might cost thirty cents more
to have it put into the bow. To repair
a bass viol bow costs more, the bulk of
hair required being greater.-New
York Sun

The Poet Did Not Contribute.

81 am quite willing to contribute to
the-er-amusement Of the evening" in
terposed the amateur poet, who was
bursting to read his latest, and couldn't
get anybody to take the hints he threw
out.
There was a sound like groan from
q corner of the room, and guest went
out. The others prepared for the worst,
except one elderly man, who pulled
down his waistcoat with an unneceS
Sary show of determination.
'The title of this little effort" the
poet went on, drawing u roll from an
unsuspected pockc< is The Raindrops
on the Roof"
well, of course it ooes," exclaimed
the elderly man. Where would you
expect it to drop? When the rain drops
on any well-regulated house, it natur-
ally chooses the roof Perhaps you ex.
pect people to take the roof off when it
rains? Or you think that we imagine
that it drops on the foundation, or in
the umbrella-srand? Everybody else
knows that rain drops on the roof,
young man, and they don't want you
to write a poem to tell 'em. If you can
write one that will explain why it rains
when man goes out in new hat and
without an umbrella, we're open to hear
it."
The poet did not contribute any fur
ther to the amusement Of the evening.

Covered Buttons

The first maker of covered buttons
was Mrs. Samuel Williston, of East
Hampton, Mass. In early life her hus-
band prepared for the ministry. but.
his eyesight falling, he was compelled.
to give up all study and support him
self. He opened Il general country
store, and his wife gave a great deal of
attention to n notion counter. One
winter day, in 1896, she was sorting
her stock, when it suddenly occurred
to her to cover some of the wooden
buttons, then in general use, with
cloth. They attracted much attention
among the customers of the little shop,
and were finally known to all the neigh
boring towns, and became very popu-
lar. Williston and his wife contrived
machinery to do the work, the first
ever employed in America. An i'm
mense manufactory sprang up, and
made half the covered buttons of the
world, and WillistOn died worth sew.
eral millions. And the source of all this
wealth originated with a bright New
England woman.

Mckinley Has No Policy.

Some overZealous administration or
gans are alleging that President Nc
Kinley is personally conducting the
war in the Philippines" OF course,
the President is doing nothing of the
kind. The war in the Philippines is
not being conducted just now by any
body. General Otis has contracted his
lines and is doing the best he can with
an inadequate force to hold the terri
tory which his troops occupy. There
would have been no war in the Philip
pines il any one had possessed any sort
of a policy. Mckinley had none and
as a consequence nobody else had one,
and thus the war broke out and has
since that time been conducted in
haphazard sort of way.
But this sort of thing cannot go on
forever. Mckinley must discover and
announce some policy. He must de-
eide whether he wishes to wage a war
of conquest or to promise the Filipinos

treatment-Chicago Democrat

: the censor by filing dispatches at Hong
Kong. If they do their usefulness to
their papers will cease Immediately"
Tyranny SO impudent is hardly conceiv-
ab.e even in Russia. 4 free people,
whose government is merely their eX-
ecutiye and not their master. is DELHI
erately tricked, blinded and bam-
boozled by men clothed with the brief
authority of a four-year term. The
whole theory of American politics, the
very principle upon which the Ameri
can policy is founded. is annulled by
this wanton violation of the freedom of
the press.
If the American people are to be de

less is conducted by their chosen SER
wants, and they submit. what hope is
there that the same policy will not be
attempted in domestic affairs? The
syEdicates which govern the Mckinley
government fear nothing so much as
publicity, and they will not hesitate to
attach the muzZle to the press if public
outcry becomes too loud. Many months
ago the POst-DiSpatch pointed out that
the Philippine question was essentially
an American question. This has been
abundantly confirmed by recent events.
1t is impossible to consider it in any
other light. The methods used in the
Philippines in the name of the Ameri-
can government are no less dangerous
to the people of America.-St Louis

A Pearl-Farn.

We have heard of poultry farms and
bee farms, of cattle farms and dog
farms, bu. there is. so far as we are
aware. but one pearl farm in the world.
II is a large farm, for it stretches for
fi"e thousand squarr miles, and is COW
cred by shallow water The site of this
farm is Torres Straits, at the northmost
point of Australia.
1t belongs to James Clark of Queens
land, king of pearl fishers" to quote
from Cassells Magazine. He stocked
it with one hundred and fifty thousand
pearl oysters rather more than three
years ago. 1t takes one thousand five
hundred men to gather in his crop, Of
whom two hundred are divers, Two
hundred and fifty vessels are regularly
employed.
In the shallow water that covers his
great farm the shells grow very large,
and the divers can operate well. The
harvest is no mean one, for the pearls,
when sold in London, fetch two hun.

kenfuCkY,s DE

Republican small-fry politicians are
feeling joyful over the long-drawn-out
fight in the Democratic Kentucky State
Convention, but it is safe to say that
their happiness will be short-lived.
There is scarcely any doubt about the
election of Goebel, the party candidate
for the Governorshlp, even if he should
not poll the full strength of the organi-
cation.
Kentucky is Democratic State, de-
spite the fact that it was nip and tuck
between Mckinley and Bryan in 1896.
This is proven by the fact that in the
year following the chief candidate on
the Republican, ticket was beaten by
nearly $4,000, while in the Congress
sional elections Gf last year our party
had plurality in the different districts
of over $4,000
The Kentucky Democracy stands by
the Chicago platform of 1896, subject
to revision by the next National Con
vention of the party. This is the proper
attitude to take, and on this point no
votes will be lost.-New York News.
