The Plan of inquiry

Washington, Jan. 1S.-The Sub-cOmmis-
sion on agriculture and agricultural labor
of the industrial commission has made
public its syllabus of the topical plan of
inquiry on the condition of labor and
capital employed in these pursuits. The
plain is divided into three general heads
Labor employed, capital employed and
remedial legislation. Under the general
head of each are questions on which the
sub-commission desires information
They embrace fifty in all and thoroughly
cover the field which the sub-commission
has in hand. Witnesses making responses
to the questions asked are required to
give facts rather than opinions except in
such instances where suggestions are in
vted.
Washington, Jan. 1S.-Mnister Bu
chanan has informed the state depart
ment that the Argentine tariff law for
1899 has been passed. No changes of i'm
portance were made in the present law
with the exception of the duty on plow
repairs and those for agricultural ma
chnery, which have been lowered. The
increased duty which went into effect
in September of last year will remain in
force this year. These increased duties
are as follows: Advalorem of per cent
and under, double; those above per cent,
10 per cent added: and 10 per cent on GUS
toms law value of articles added on all
specific duties.

Another on kipling.

There is one hotel in Nottingham, the
White Horse by name, and II is kept by
an old fellow named Welfare. Rudyard
Kipling frequently passed his evenings
with this Welfare, and together they
smoked and hammered politics. Now,
Welfare was strong radical, and Mr..
Kipling, as is well known, is an adj
vanced imperialisr. One can imagine,
therefore, that these were spiriled meet
ings. In q while Mr.. Welfare tell i'll, Mr..
Kipling called just as usual and he
would sit by the bedside and talk.
before. they bolted politics and talked
crosswise and flung their lances. Now 1t
was the practice OF the doctor 10 call
quite late and take his patients tempera-
ture, and he always wondered to find
him. in what should have been the quiet
est hour OF the day, heated and per-
turbed. This went on for several days
the doctor wondering, Mr. K'pl ng argu-
ing and Mr.. Welfare igniting-until the
maids let out the secret OF the nightly
discussion. Then the surgeon came to
the writer's house.
"Mr. Kiping," said he, you must cal
no more at he White Horse"
"Whv not ?" said Kipling.
Because" SAID the doctor, you are

you had gone his temperature increased
seven degrees, Tuesdayit increased eight

How to Plant Herbs.

The "sweet herbs" are sage, savory,
marioram, thyme, and bay. It you live
where you can have bit OF ground,
have your own herb. bed. You don't
know how much nicer the herbs will be
than anything you can buy. Plant from
the seed, keep the bed well welded and
walered, and cut when in flower. Tie
in bundles and dry. then slit them as you
need. II you cannot have an herb-bed
and grow them yourself, buy at the
market the whole dried herbs rather
than any preparation of ground herbs.
You will get more strength from them,
and better results of seasoning. AS tor
par sley, which you want in soup, in
made. over dishes, in dishes prepared a
la Iyonnaise, and also for a garnlsh, it
makes one of the prettiest and most dec
orative window plants. Its fine foliage,
its beautiful green, Its thick, thrifty
growth make it as desirable tor a win
dow-garden as for table decoration or
a flavor in food. 1t is easily grown, and
the leaves which are plucked are soon
renewed If you have sunny south
window in kitchen or dining room. by
all means set the parsley growing

Was the Kelly rlotor a Fake.

The discovery OF tank for holding
compressed air, and minute tubes lead
ing from it, in the building where the
late John W. Kelly exhibited his ma
chimes Tor developing his new and won
derful "iorce," would satisfy most people
that Keely was a humbug and preyed
on the credulity Of those whom he IN
duced to furnish funds Tor his expert
ments. The tubes were so small as to
appear like wires, as Keely said they
were, but they were hollow and capable
of wthstanding heavy pressure. NO
large supply OF air or gas was needed as
Keely's experimental machines were com
paratively small and only intended to
show how the power was developed
But the attorney Tor the Kelly company
is not disturbed by the discovery. he
saws that in his earliest experiments
Kelly depended for power upon the as
indignation of water, and that the tubes
were intended to convey to his machine
the power thus obtained. Scientific men,
who have always been suspicious OF the
alleged inventor now feel certain that he
made no discoveries and merely victim
