WASHINGTON, D c.. April 7.-Consid-
cradle time was consumed by the Senate
to-day in discussion of the confer
cnce report on the bill to reduce war reve-
nue. taxes. AS passed by the Senate. the
tax on transactions in so-called bucket
shops was retained. The conferces struck
out that provision. 1t being explained that
the House would not consent to It's re-
:ention. Mr.. Berry. of Arkansas: Mr.. b.
con. of Georgia. and Mr.. Pettus. OF Ala
hama, insisted that the Senate should
demand the retention OF the tax.
Mr.. Bacon maintained that as the tax
upon bucket-snops was proper source
of revenue. and the tax man!festly was
properly laid it ought to be continued. He
said shat the law applied to both Boards
of Trade and bucket shops. except, as to
the latter, it applied to both legal and
illegal contracts. He thought it was
ferees to deal With the levying Of the
tax upon transactions. both in bucket-
shops and in regular exchanges.
Mr. Aldrich. of Rhode Island; Mr. Al
lson. of Iowa. and Mr. Spooner. OF Wis:
consin, while they were in favor of the
tax. explained that:i could not be re-
tanned without endangering the entire
measure. The conference report finally
was adopted-36 to 20.
CHINESE EXCLUSION.
Mr.. Simmons. of North Carolina. ex-
planned briefly why he should support
the Chinese exclusion bill. although he
frankly said he would do SO with some
reluctance. Mr.. Simmons was reluctant
to vote for the mea sure. especially be-
cause the cotton manufacturers of his
State. and of the South generally, were
appealing against it's enactment. They
fear. he said. that it will lead to retalia-
tory action on the part of China. and
that their market in the Orient might be
checked if not destroyed.
Mr.. Simmons explained that he did
not gree with the cotton manufacturers
and therefore. as people of the Pacific
coast and other sections We're demanding
the passage of the BILL he would vote for
it. The exclusion bill was read for com
mittee amendment. the reading occupy
ing considerable time

IRONING A SHIRT MALT.

Not infrequently young woman
finds 1t necessary to launder shirt
waist at home for some emergency
when the laundryman or the home SER
want cannot do it. Hence these direc-
tions for ironing the waist: To iron
summer shirt waists so that they will
look like new II is needful to have
them starched evenly with Defiance
starch, then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight in a damp cloth, to be
laid away two or three hours. When
ironing have a bowl of water and a
clean piece of muslin beside the iron
ing board. Have your iron hot. but
not sufficiently SO to scorch. and abso-
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back, then the front, sides and the
sleeves, followed by the neckband and
the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap-
ply the damp cloth and remove them
Always iron from the top of the waist
to the bottom. II there are plaits in
the front iron them downward, after
first raising sach one with a blunt
knife. and with the edge of the iron
follow every line OF stitching to give it
distinctness. After the shirt waist is
ironed it should be well aired by the
fire or in the sun before it is folded
and put away, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.

practically severed from compunica-

Tristan d'Acunha was discovered by
the Portuguese in 1906. and formal pos
session was taken of this small speck

British artillery, for the purpose of
keeping watch on Napoleon. at that
time a prisoner in ST. Helena. On the
death of Napoleon the soldiers were
withdrawn. with the exception of Cor
roral Glass and two companions. who,
with some whaling men. were the
founders of the present settlement.

there was population of ninety-seven

UNIQUE AND VALUABLE PIPE
Made From Root Of Historic Tree, and
Wonderfully Carved

wonderfully Carved.
M. N. Silver of Philadelphia Is the
proud possessor what is considered
the most unique pipe in existence. OBJ
viously 1t is the most remarkable for
the workmanship and skill which
were displayed in carving it.
In 1861. almost fifty years ago. J.
Stone of Trappe. Chester county.
which is near Washington's headquar-
ter's at Valley Forge came across a
wonderfully shaped piece of wood.
1t was about six feet long and was a
root from one OF the historic trees of
Valley Forge. The root took his fancy
ana an idea entered his mind that it
would make valuable historical relic
II placed in carver's hands and cary
ed as he directed. But he never car
ried out his intentions and eventually
the historic root came into the hands
Of Mr.. Silver who had his own ideas
regarding carving. As result it was
made into bunch of pipes and cigar
holders, many in one, although he
calls 1t pipe.
The work on this pipe took 1924
hours. and if reckoned at twenty
cents per hour, the pipe cost him
about $500, not considering what was
paid for it in the original transaction.
Mr.. Silver has had many offers for
the pipe. but has declined them all,
the largest amount offered being $500.
He expects to place it in the Carnegie
museum at Pittsburg, If the negotia-
tions which are going % turn out
right
The exterior of the pipe is carved
out in many faces of grotesque express
sions, which give it very odd ap-
pearance. 1t has quite a number Of
large trap doors. from which when
opened. figures made of wood spring
out II has many receptacles for hold
ing tobacco. and quite a number of
men can smoke at the same time, for
the interior is composed of a laby.
rinth Of small pipes and tubes. The
smoke is pleasant by the time it
reaches the mouth, says the Philadel-
phia Inquirer. losing the hot, burning
sensation. and at the same time de-
posting the nicotine inside the pipe.

WAS IT A NEW EXPERIENCED
Tale Of . Strange Happening to Party
Of Literary Men.

Sir Wemyss Reid's new biography
on William Black the novelist. recalls
an amusing story of Blacks visit to
America which has never before ap-
peared in print. 1t concerns Mr..
Black and three literary men. who,
as they are still living. we shall desig-
nate as Messrs. A. B. and c. II seems
that Black and this interesting trio
were having a quiet afternoon at
poker, into the mysteries of which
Black desired to be initiated. An &C.
purposes of accuracy in local color.
was 4 bottle of fine old whisky. which
Black had provided. with pride in its
high merit. This bottle now becomes
at once the hero and william of the
story; for II was SO old. and had so
long been undisturbed that the fusel.
oil had collected at the top in deadly
strength. All of the party drank
lightly. but the consequences were
so unfortunate that one of the liter
airy gentlemen retired and went to
bed. and another. a very abstemious
man. ascended the staircase of his
own home on his hands and knees.
and when his astounded wife inquired
what was the matter. amiably replied.
"M'dear, | wish they wouldn't take the
banisters OF the stairs. Why do they
do it, m'dear?" When the four friends
met later and compared notes, their
experiences were found to be singu-
larly alike. and. the trouble being eN.
planned, Black laughingly apologized
for his uninten,ionally dangerous hos
pitality.
