WAS PEACHES AND CREAM.
General Starr Always Glad to Meet
Young west-Pointers.

A gallant old American soldier who
had many idlosyncrasles, not the least
OF which was an irrepressible dislike
for young lleutenants when first sent
out from West Point. The name of
this old soldier was General Starr, and
at the time OF which we write he was
major in the Sixth United States
Cavalry. though during the civil war he
had been a brigadier general.
In 1874 General Starr was in COM
mand at Fort Riley, and one day an
orderly came 10 his quarters with the
message that Lieutenant Morrison, just
from West Point, was at the post ready
to pay his respects and report for duty,
In response TO this message the old gen
eral was starting for his Office. when
his wife, motherly old soul, plucked
him by the sleeve and said: Now,
general, promise me that you won't be
rough with that young man."
"Roughy" said the old man, smiling
amlably upon his matrimonial compan-

Reaching his office the general was
confronted with dapper little fellow,
as splck and span as though he had
just come from the hands of his barber
and tailor, while he had the half SUI
percilious air that seems inseparable
from the first stages OF military educa-
ton.
Looking the young lieutenant over for
half n moment the old general said with
great dignity: How do you do, Mr..
Morrison? | am pleased to see YOU"
Then, as a flush gradually mounted
over his weather-beate features, lie
added: II am always glad TO see you
young men from the military academy.
You-you-(here the general ended with
roar)-you think yourselves SO -
smart!'-Kansas City Journal.

GERMAN MASK INDUSTRY.
How Paper and Gauze Masks Are Made
aud What They Cost.

Paper masks are made by doubling
one sheet Of specially prepared paper,
wetting 1t, and molding 1t by hand over
a face form; II is then dried by artificial
heat and cut of to form, according to
the Consular Reports. Openings are
cut for eyes. nose and mouth, and 1t is
painted and decorated by hand as de-
sired. The paper used by sonneberg
manufacturers is made In 0eslau and
Schleusingen and costs at present about
LAO marks 1913 cents per 4S0 sheets.
One sheet n6.kes three OF the common
masks. The painting OF cheap masks
costs about 90 pfennigs az cents per
gross; the molding of face costs about
60 pfennlgs IA cents per gross. Pack
Ing is figured at about 3 per cent, as the
masks are rolled in brown paper, the
ends being folded In to save string.
The expenses are estimated at about
Is per cent. leaving the net profit 20 to
% per cent, as the complete article sells
at present at about $50 marks (42S
cents per gross.
Wire masks are made by stamping
piece Of wire netting about one foot
square over a face mold In a large
machine, incloslng the rough wire
edges In narrow strip of lead and
painting. The latter Is done by hand
In oil colors.
Gauze masks are made by holding
over a clay face form doubled piece
OF cheap linen gauze that has previous
ly been soaked In starchy paste The
sticky linen is made to adhere to the
form, and this is set on a stove and
dried for about twenty minutes. The
linen is then taken off and openings cut
for the eyes, mouth and nostrils. 1t is
painted as desired. and makes one OF
the most practical masks known. The
gauze mask Is used considerably In the
United States, but the larger portion OF
them are made therein by machines
owned by two firms, one in New York
and the other In Findlay, Ohio

Kinds of tuning. or course, the pitch
depends on the length of the pipe. The
pitch may be raised by shortening the
pipe or by stopping the open end. A
number of the wooden pipes are
stopped by wooden slides. Handles
are attached and the pipe Is tuned by
moving the slides up or down. Other
woods have set in the top piece Of
metal which Is rolled or bent over par

Ribbon strips are cut In the sides of

ing become so tremendous and the COM
petition so great, it seems as though in
the rush for business that the real
character and meaning of the policy
contracts which are being issued by the
various companies are not always I'M
derstood. and that under the guise OF
the so-called five, ten or twenty year
distribution" policies and the five.
ten or twenty year accumulation"
policies many of the leading companies
are doing everything possible to avoid
allowing annual dividends. The divi-
dends thus withheld for long periods of
years, ostensibly for the benefit OF per-
sistent survivors, are forfeited and con-
fiscated by such "tontine" companies
in case of either the death OF the in
sured or lapse OF his policy from non
payment of premium at any time dur
ing the said five, ten or twenty year
periods. and the withheld dividends
are thus practically available for ex-
penses. But there are still few COM
panies which are unalterably opposed
to the aforesaid "lottery" or "tontine
dividend" system, and which divide up
their surplus annually among their
members. notably among them stands
the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance
Company of Newark, N. j.. which is.
in fact, the leading annual dividend
company of the country.
Regarding the dividend paying abil-
ity OF the principal companies, the off,
cial reports. of the business for the past
10 years show that, with over $780,
900, 900 less premium than the three
largest 'Tontine" companies, namely.
the Mutual Life, the Equitable Life and
the New York Life combined. the Mu-
tual Benefit, the leading annual Dis
stribution" Company, has saved more
than twice as much of its interest re-
