While Mr.. Babcock is entitled to
great credit for trying to have some
Of the trust breeding and trust pro-
tecting import duties repealed, the
third Wisconsin district ought to be
represented in congress by mar who
does not feel constrained to repeat the
high tariff creed before declaring
himself tariff reformer. The demo
Gratis ought to nominate a candidate
Of pronounced low tariff views, and
make the issue very prominent in the
campaign. The general welfare OF
the district, and of the country as
well, would be best promoted by a
revenue tariff, and the people of the
district ought to know it; and know
ing it they ought to send to Washing
ton a reprepresentatiye who would
work and vote for tariff tax reduction
all along the line.

ROLLING AN UMBRELLA.
The Proper Way Is to Twist Ribs
and Stick Together.

why Is it." asked an inquisitive Gus
toner III downtown umbrella store,
that one can never roll up an umbrella
as compactiy and neatly as it is rolled
when he buys it,"
You can if you only know how"
said the salesman. but if everybody
knew how it would mean less business
for US. The umbrellas would last Ion
ger, and there would be lot less work
for the reparers.
perhaps l shouldn't tell you how"
the clerk continued, but it's SO simple
you should know anyhow. II you have
noticed, nearly everybody who rolls up
an umbrella takes hold Of it by the
handle and keeps twisting the stick
with one hand while he folds and rolls
with the other hand.
Now, that's just where the mistake
comes in. Instead of twisting with the
handle he should take hold Of it just
above the points Of the cover ribs.
These points naturally lie evenly
pressing them tightly against the stick,
and then roll up the cover. Holding
the ribs prevents them from getting
twisted out Of place or bending out of
shape. Then the silk is bound to fold
evenly and roll smooth and tight.
Roll your umbrella this way, and
until it is old enough to get rusty look
ing it will look as if it had just come
from the shop."-New York Herald.

Where English Clubs Differ.

A point which strikes American Wis
itors to London about our English clubs
is the social aspect of them and the al
most complete absence of the business
side. At the Manhattan or the Knick-
erbOcker, on the other hand, the bust
ness side prevails. The majority Of
members do not drop in merely to read
the papers, hear the latest story and
play billiards. as over Lere. They go
in most cases to meet a man about "a
DEAL" to talk over the business of the
day and discuss the business of the
morrow or to read up the finance of the
papers. The result is that when an
American becomes a member of an
English club he hardly ever uses it be-
cause its ways do not appeal to him.
He would say that there vas nothing
going on.-LOndOn Taller.

Two Great Painters.

When in HARLEM, Vandyke called
upon Frank Halls and, without MAX
ing himself known, said that he was
anxious to have his portrait painted,
but, as he was in a great hurry, he
could spare but two hours, at the end
of which the portrait must be done.
Halls went to work and finished it, and
Vandyke was much pleased. But por-
trait painting seemed a very little
thing, said Vandyke, and he asked Halls
to change places with him. Halls did
so, and as Vandyke finished his work
Halls Rugged him enthusiastically, say
ing: You are Vandyke. No one but
he can do what you have done" And
so the two great masters became ac-

Congressman Babcock has got far
ahead of those ultra high tariff repub-
licans who, few short months ago
thought that they would be able to
squelch both him and his tariff reform
measure. The versatile Champ Clark

Mr.. Babcock's victory:

81 believe that moonlight shooting is
peculiar to California" said a resident
Of that state. The air there is so dry
in certain localities, the nights so clear
and the moonlight so bright that one
gets good range of vision, and every
thing stands out with startling dis
tinctness. Wild ducks frequently move
in the night, and the sportsman who is
alert will get the whir of wings and a
sight Of them almost as well at night
as in the daytime. There is an added
tjnge Of excitement afforded by a night
hunt, and many California hunters go
out on clear nights and frequently with
great success. New York Tribune.

Bre,the Throurh Your Nose.

In all kinds of atmosphere the breath
should only be inhaled through the
nose. An occasional breath of extra
pure air through the mouth may be
good, but in cars and in most offices
and rooms nose breathing is essential.
A second rule is, since SO much time is
spent in cars and offices and rooms in
earning q livelihood and since these
places are overheated and underventi-
lated-the heating and ventilation be-
ing out of the control of most of us
we must take in fresh air whenever
possible in order that we may restore
the balance. The best times to do this
will be early in the morning, when the
air is freshest, and late at night when
deep breathing will help US to get sleep.
We may breathe correctly while we
are waiting in street and especially
where streets meet. We can soon form
an automatic habit of breathing prop
erly on such occasions.
