A Hunt For Errors In Magazines.

Editorial vigilance is the only safe
guard against errors in magazine-mak-
ing. Every article that is published in
The Ladies' Home Journal, for instance,
is read at least four times in manuscript
FORM and all statements of fact verified
before it goes to the printer Then it is
read and revised by the proof-readers;
goes back to the author for his revision
is re-read by the editors three or more
times, at different stages; and again by
the proof-readers possibly half dozen
times additional. Thus each article is
read at least fifteen and often twenty
times after leaving the authors hands
nnti1 it reaches the public eye. But
with all this unremitting vigilance er-
rors of the most obvious kind OCCASION
ally escape observation until perhaps
the final reading, but is rare, indeed,
that an inaccuracy hides itself in the
pages securely enough to go through a
magazines edition.

spells of dizziness, spots before the eyes,

symptoms are commonly associated witt,

DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-

It cures through the stomach diseases
seemingly remote from that organ, but
which have their origin in a diseased

organs are constantly effected by the

all other narcotics.
Some dealers may offer substitute as

OUR GOODS IN CHINA.
The American Consul Says There II
a Great Market There for
Cotton.

Consul Wildman, writing from
Hong-Kong, China, says: eff proper
ly placed before the Chinese, Ameri-
can cotton goods will obtain the same
foothold in southern China that they
have in northern. The present impor-
tations are not nearly sufficient to
meet the requirements. 1t must be
borne In mind that the Chinese never
wear wOol-not even in the depth of
winter; that, generally speaking. the
entire population clothe themselves
in cotton all the year round. Their
bedclothes. umbrellas, and, in few
instances, boat sails are made of cot
ton, and the consumption is practical
ly unlimited if they are made in ac-
cordance with native requirements.
The cloths should be strong, coarse,
unbleacneu cloth, % inches wide, re-
tailable at about five cents a yard, or
36 cents gold per piece of nine yards.
There is also a virgin market for a
cotton cloth which, tanned or other
wise treated, would prove rainproof.
All cotton goods would have to be put
up in lengths to suit the peculiar re-
quirements of the trade for which
they are designed, and such details
could best be learned after having
made a trial shipment. AS I have
pointed out before. it issmpossib,e to
do business with Chinese by CORE
respondence, and the most that con-
sui can do is to supply hint"

~ ABSOLUTELY PURE
Makes the food more delicious and wholesome


One of the provisions of Gunderson's
House bill No. 8, amending the school
code, is but just beginning to be under
stood by teachers generally, and it has
raised protest among the educators.
Among other amendments made in
this law is one changing the date OF
school elections throughout the state to
the second Saturday in May. Further
it is provided that the newly elected
directors shall take office on the first
Monday in June and that the new
board shall employ teachers for the en-
suing year.
The former law provided that the old
board might employ the teachers for
the coming year, prerogative the old
boards always took advantage of and
one which teachers generally thought
of. Very often the old board made it's
selection of teachers as early in Febru-
ary, and this, too, met the appreciation
of the teachers. Under the Gunderson
law all this is changed and the selections
must be made by the new board, which
will undoubtedly elect the teachers as
soon as taking office. The advantage
of the old law, from the teachers stand
point, was that if a teacher did not
succeed i'll securing employment in
February or March the educator might
have time to look elsewhere for employ
ment, a thing that, they say, is difficult
under the provisions of the new law,
owing to the lateness of the day for
selections to be made. State Superin-
tendent Bryan is in receipt of lots of
kicks" on this provision, but he can
do nothing in the matter -Olympian.
The advantage of the new law, from
the standpoint of the general public is
that it will effectually prevent the en-
ployment by expiring school boards of
teachers, whose terms do not begin for
several months afterwards. In the
case of Shelton the expiring board
made an appointment very objection
able to most of the patrons of the public
school, in spite of the adverse feeling
shown during the school election, and
Shelton district now has a $500 damage
suit ON hand as result. Very rarely
have teachers for the usual fall terms
been selected before May, and as the
new boards are qualified that month,
the new law will make no difference to
the teachers, whatever.

BRASS RINGS ARE JEWELRY.
The Circumstances Under Which
Uncle Sans Revenue Officers
So Decide.

Though Uncle Sam has just decided
that brass finger rings constitute
'Jewelry," the old fellow, of course,
doesn't expect that all of his coun-
trymen will accept this classification
for all purposes, says the New York
Press. He meant to say only that
when these articles are imported they
are to be assessed for duty as jewelry
and not as toys. These rings are COM
posed of brass, in imitation of gold,
and are set with various forms of
,olcred glass in imitation of precious
stones. They are of sizes suitable to
be worn by children and also by
some adults" The importers con-
tended that they were intended to be
sold chiefly by confectioners and
others in prize packages and that
they were designed for the use and
amusement of children as toys. But
the beard OF general appraisers in
New York has decided that they be-
long to tho class of articles common
ly known as jewelry. The same de-
cision applies to necklaces of glass
beads, to brass chains intended for
watch guards or neck chains and to
hairpins of gilded metal, set with
colored glass. Therefore, as jewelry
these articles must pay duty of 60
per cent. ad valorem, instead of a
lower dutV as tovs

Passes AS Bribes.

The demand by the Great Northern
upon Senator Crow for pass that had
been extended to him has been briefly
noted. The letter in which the de-
mand was made has not been given to
the public prints. Enough of the con-
tents is known however to set forth
clearly the fact that when the Great
Northern issues pass to a legislator it
regards the favor as the purchase price
of the legislator, and thinks that if he
refuses to bow to the will of the corpor-
alton he has violated contract. This
is doubly an insult; it is at once the as
sumption that the legislator is corrupt,
and that he is cheap. Does the Great
Northern believe that a man elected to
represent constituency may be pur-
chased like bit of bric-a-brac from the
bargain counter of a rummage sale?
Many of the legislators rode on passes.
This procedure has come to be habit.
There was not one in the lot that con-
sidered he had bartered his honor or en-
tered into an unclean compact when he
accepted the trifiing favor. He would
be indeed small and contemplate
creature who would be Influenced by
such a, gratuity. None the less, the
only course to be pursued hereafter
must be the absolute refusal on the part
of lawmakers to accept pass. In the
eyes of the givers it is regarded as bill
Of sale. 1t is considered as carrying
with it the right to control the vote of
the holder, and failing to do this, be the
means Of subjecting him to gross and
impudent affront.. The general sentl-
ment, the spirit of the state constitution
both forbid the acceptance of passes on
the part of members Of the legislature.
The practice has nothing to commend
Il. 10 avoid it is necessary II one would
avoid the appearance Of evil.-iacona

Enewspaper reports of the capture Q

-'Remey."
Secretary Root informed represen-
tative of the Associated Press this morn
ing that he can make no statement as
to the disposition to be made of Agui-
naldo. He supposes that he will be
treated as other prominent insurgents
who have been captured have been
treated.
When asked if Funston would be re-
warded by promotion for his daring
work the secretary said that question
had not yet been considered.
Manila, March General Frederick
Funston's daring project for the capture
of Aguinaldo in his hiding place in the
province of Isabella, island of Luzon,
has proved completely successful.
Aguinaldo was captured here on
March %. The United States gunboat

General Funston and Aguinaldo on

with great difficulty, an insurgent
major being killed.

papers were captured.
Aguinaldo, who was captured by
General Funston and brought to

concerning recent events. Heappeared

cheerful. He lunched with the officers
of General Mac Arthur's staff, and was
then escorted to the Anda street JAIL

Work Dom low british Postmen.

1t appears that in the United King
dom there are 10000 pOstmen, and in
the course of a year close upon 3,6O0,-
100000 letters, postcards, parcels, cir
culars. boxes, and newspapers are de-
livered. This gives a yearly average to
each postman of 10000 letters, etc, or
200 per day. OF course, in a big town,
each postman would have far heavier
delivery, while the rural postman would
have considerably less. In fact, in one
country district it so happened that on
one particular day the postman had no
letter to deliver at all. In London 5000
letters a day is the postmans average
delivery.
