I'm Prafse Of Brickwork.

Few materials are more suitable or
more beautiful for country house
than brickwork honestly employed,
says a writer in Country Life In Amer
lea. Rough clinker bricks exhibiting
various shades of the same color, from
red to purplish black, laid in Flemish
bond and broad, struck joints and left
as laid, make wall of better color and
richer texture than one built up Of the
more expensive pressed bricks, which
are monotonously even in shape and
color, with surface like cut cheese.
Whatever material is employed, let it
show frankly for what it is and as far
as possible express it's nature. The
imitation of one material by another is
always ignoble. 1t is best to be spar
ing in the use of detail, so called. If a
house be thoroughly well designed, the
shape pleasing and the openings well
proportional and well placed, it has
little to gain from applied ornament,
and If it lacks these necessary charac-
teristics of good architecture no amount
of extraneous ornament will conceal
the defect.

MUCH TO AGREE UPON YET.

While there has been decision to
refer the Venezuelan trouble to The
Hague tribunal. there is much to be
considered and agreed upon as to the
subjects to be considered and the Hmi-
tations to be set for the guidance of the
arbitration tribunal. 1t will be neces-
sary to draw up protocol setting forth
exactly the questions to be submitted
to arbitration, so that the court will not
GO outside the restrictions thus pre-
scribed. The government Of the United
States is vitality interested in this mat
ter, for it is incumbent upon it to guard
American interests carefully. 1t is con-
sidered essential that nothing in the
protocol shall be construed so as to give
the tribunal any ground for calling the
Monroe doctrine into question. Then,
too, our government will be concerned
In having the agreement so drawn as to
protect Venezuela as far as possible
from exorbitant claims and from hard
conditions as to the time and method
OF payment. With such conditions, 1t
Will enable The Hague court more cas-
ily to do justice to the South American
republic, while exactjng from it what
ever may be considered rightful.
Washington advices indicate that
while the administration is giving much
consideration to the conditions and lim-
ftations under which the arbitration
win be carried on, no formal action has
yet been taken in the direction of draw
ing up the protocol. This will not be
done until after the formal agreement
to refer the controversy to The Hague
tribunal has been made. The final pro-
tocol Will probably be between Vene-
zrela and the European powers, but the
United States will have charge of all
the preliminary negotiations on behalf
OF vens u, ella, and the administration
will probably be able to shape the pro-
tocol 20 Is to make it entirely salts

Economical.

A young man living on Walnut Hills
is a close worker in money matters :
that is, he stays close to the shore with
his expenditures. He had the good
luck to marry girl whose parents are
quite wealthy and is at present living
with his wife In one of his father-in-
laws houses.
One day not long since while dis
cussing affairs with a friend the latter
asked:
did the cid gentleman give you that
houseg
"Well-er-no, not exactly" was the
answer. "He offered it to me, but l
wouldn't accept it."
"How's that? asked the friend.
WELL" answered the man who had
made the lucky matrimonial venture.

spending months of last year.
Nearly all of the great articles re-
quired for use in manufacturing, with
! the single exception of india rubber,
show a marked increase in importa-
tons. Inportatiens of raw silk, for ex-
ample, amount to fe,s05,393 in the
eleven months Of this year, against
| $685. 900 in The corresponding period
OF 1901; hides and skins. $5S.022, 81,

OF last year; tin for use in nanufactur-
ling tin plate, s19,5S2,S07. against $17,-

last year. India rubber importations
show slight falling off, the total for
eleven months being S22,56S.7s6 this
year, against s25.s2s.sS5 in the same
months of last year.
The most striking Increase in impor-
tetions is in manufacturers of iron and
steel, which amount, for the eleven
months, to s36,766,961 in value, against
| $1S,267,6T7 in the corresponding
months of last year, the value of the
Iimportations having thus more than
doubled this year as compared with
Hast year. Practically every item in
the list of iron and steel manufactures
shows a marked increase. The export
Figures of iron and steel manufactures
show reduction, the total exports for

year. against $a4.os1 ,a67 in the same
months of last year and S119,604,S4S in
eleven months Of 1900.
The total expectation of the eleven
months falls s116, 200, 900 below that of
the corresponding period of 1901. This
reduction occurs in agricultural prod
ucts, of which the expectations during
the eleven months of this year fall
S130.000,000 below those of last year, in
dicating that in the other great classes,
especially manufactures, there is an in
crease. This reduction of s130,000, 600
in agricultural exports is due In part to
the increased home demand. and in
part to the loss of a part of the corn
crop of last year corn expectations
having fallen from $40 sol, 374 in eleven
months of 1901 to s6.745,151 in the cor
responding months of this year. There
is also considerable reduction In the
value of wheat exported. due to the
fact that last years expectations were
exceptionally large.

PRESIDENT BRADLEY A SUCCESS.
GGrinnell Herald
The term just closed of Iowa College
has been the trial term for the new
regime and 1t has been a most salts
factory trial to the friends of the col
lege President Bradley has entered
upon the work with vigor and an en-
thusiasm that inspires confidence and
secures cooperation. The new arrange
ment whereby the dean has charge of
the internal affairs of the institution is
proving very happy one. 1t enables
the president to give much of his time
to outside work, visiting friends of the
college, and keeping in touch with the
regular church organizations. Presi-
dent Bradley has delivered large
number OF addresses during the week,
and has preached nearly every Sunday
in some Congregational pulpit. A man
of sterling character, high ideals and
delightful address, these frequent
greetings of Iowa audiences can not
fail to impress his hearers with the fit
ness of Mr.. Bradley to be the head of
great Christian college. Everywhere
he has been accorded a hearty reeep-
ton, and has been given repeated as
surances that the alumni and friends of
the college are with him in his work,
nor has he disappointed them. Little
could be added to the kind words of
praise given him in his work, and the
added wish of his new friends that he
may Hee long years to honor Iowa Col
lege as its president, and to aid in car
rying forward the educational work in
Iowa to a higher standard President
Bradley has met his new friends and
they are his and he is theirs in the
broadcast and highest sense of the
words.

PUBLIC OPINION A SNAG.

Republicans do not all agree with the
Capital on the tariff question. Our let
tiers demonstrate a considerable disa-
greement among our readers. Some of
them think that the progress of the
United States during the past five
years both internally and internation-
ally, including the marvellous CONNER
cial development has been such that our
country is no longer in need of what
some call Chinese wall of protection.
They say that such a thing was needed
in 1896, when everything was PROSTATE,
but needed simply as tonic to put the
system in shape. to be dispensed with
after the body had been put into
healthy condition. They now believe
that we are practically able to compete
with the world. They generally point
to the iron and steel industry to illus
trate their point. They are honest in
their convictions and they are entitled
to their views.
