also trimmed with strapping. A double
collar and cuffs of black Persian lamb
complete the garniture Of the coat,

Equally distinguished in their way
are some Of the new "wet weather"

smart and presents as firm front to

Settled the Duel.

Lord March (afterward the Marquis
of Queensberry) was not accustomed
to view duel with unbecoming APP
prehension, and usually attended an
affair with an air of enjoyment that
often was decidedly displeasing and
embarrassing to his adversary. But he
was served at last with that sauce
which the proverb explains is for the
gander as well as for the goose. 1t
was when he was challenged to fight
an Irish sportsman.
Lord March appeared on the ground
accompanied by second, surgeon and
other witnesses. His opponent arrived
soon afterward with similar retinue,
but added TO by person who stagger-
ed under the weight of a polished oak
coffin, which he deposited on the
ground, end up, with it's lid facing
Lord March and his party.
Lord March became decidedly un-
comfortable when he read the inscrip-
ton plate, engraved with his own
name and title and the date and year

Spider Cures.


In China spiders are highly esteemed
in the treatment of Group You get
from an old wall the webs of seven
black spiders-two of which must have
the owners sitting in the middle-and
pound them up in a mortar with lit
tie powdered alum. The resulting
mixture must then be set on fire, and
the ashes, when squirted into the
throat of the patient, by means of a
bamboo tube, are said to effect a GER
tain and immediate cure.
Black spiders are evidently full of
medicinal virtue, for they are largely
employed in the treatment of ague as
well. In Somersetshire, if one is af-
fiicted with the unpleasant ailment,
the way to get well is to shut up a
large black spider in a box and leave
it there till it dies. At the moment
of it's decease the ague should disap-
pear. In Sussex the treatment is more
heroic; the patient must swallow the
spider.
Perhaps, after all, this remedy may
not be so disagreeable as 1t appears,
for German lady who was in the
habit of picking out spiders from their
webs as she walked through the woods
and eating them after first depriving
them of their legs declared that they

EngIish RED Tape.

At the present time, when the system
of red tape is being attacked and rid
iculed, the following somewhat anus
ing methods Of dealing with matters
are still adopted in one Of the great
government departments.
For instance, a hairbrush and comb
must be purchased under the head of
service clothing" whereas a tooth
brush is under ''fuep and spectacles
under medicines" clothesbasket
is clothing" but clothes pegs are Gin
cidentals." The funniest Of all, how
ever, are guano and straw, they being
purchased under ''victualing."
A good instance of red tape Is told in
connection with the excise. An officer
had entered in the inquiry column OF
his return: March 13. Dog dead
This did not satisfy his superior, who
told him to inquire again. which the
obedient officer did, recording: april

PLAIN BUSINESS SENSE.

Washington, August 1o-Special
Correspondence In time of peace
prepare for war is an axiom no less
essential for the well being of a ma
tion than another: In time of pros
perity prepare for adversely. Times
are prosperous now. Never before in
our history has such an immense and
profitable volume of business been
handled 1t cannot be expected that
all years will be like this year. Crops
will fail. Speculation induced by
prosperity may lead 70 unsafe invest
ments and consequent hard times.
But the wise administrators of the
Nation must and will provide as far
as possible to so direct and diversity
the industries of the Nation that a
good degree of prosperity may be ex-
pected under all normal conditions.
As a people we grow more than we
can eat. We dig from our mines more
than we can consume. We spin,
weave, forge, shape and make more
than we can use. Field, forest,
furnace and factory all produce more
than enough to supply any possible
domestic demand. This is condi-
tion, not theory, which can be met
i'll but one o. two ways. Reduce the
output or increase the purchasers.
The former is contraction. The latter
is expansion 1t is impossible to
stand still. We must go forward or
backward The channels of the
worlds commerce are never stagnant
The struggle of the twentieth CEN
tury will be for markets. Business
knows no sentiment The purchaser,
whether Turk, Japanese, English or
Yankee, will buy where he can buy
the cheapest. The Nation that can
undersell the rest of the world will
control the commerce of the world.
1t is the settled policy of the Repub-
lican party to protect our industries,
encourage manufacturing and thus
create constant demand for labor.
This. however, is only half of the
problem.
The nation or the individual that
increases production, without enlarg-
ing the demand and increasing con
sumption, will come to grief. Goods
stacked up in warehouses represent
dead capital paid out both for mater
ial and labor. Mckinley, not content
with opening the factory. opened the
markets to absorb the output of loom,
spindle, pick aad pillow.
The result is almost beyond belief
The exports of the United States for
the fiscal year 1900 amounted to the
enormous sum of 81, 1914, 49, 214.
This is divided among all classes of
industries and the increase over the

A COSTLY MILK PUNCH.
Policeman NitcheIl's Indulgence Re-
suIfs in IN 500 Eiuc.


suits in IN $50 Fine.
Major Sylvester yesterday recommended
that Policeman Hugh Mitchell, of the
Eighth precinct, be fined $40 for being in
toxicated while on duty. The Commits
sioners approved the recommendation.
Mitchell was brought before the trial
officer by order of Lieutenant Kenney, and
1t was developed that the policeman had
taken glass of milk punch before going
on duty on the day he is charged with
being drunk. and that the intoyicant had
no effect until he had left the station and
was on his way TO his beat. II appears
that Mitchell was struck on the head and
badly used up by mob OF coltred men a
few weeks ago and that the day he is said
to have been intoxicated he had Just re-
turned TO duty. He was very weak and
had been ordered TO take milk punches by
his physician.
Major Sylvester stated that Mitchell was
very good policeman, and had never been
brought up on charges Of any kind before.
He deprecated the use OF intoxicants, how
ever, and stated that when a member of
the force feels too weak to go on duty he
should summon one of the surgeons in
compliance with the police manual
