POINTS ABOUT THE BED.
Bedsteads of Iron, White EnameIed, Are Cheap and Dainty-Im-
 provements in Clothes.

Too much care cannot be expended in making the bed as comfortable and sleep inducing as possible. In regard to the bed itself, brass or iron beds are superior in every way to the old fashioned beds of wood. Brass beds are the ideal beds, but are, Of course, more expensive than the wooden beds, and when painted white are extremely dainty, says the New York Tribune.
 Sermons have been preached from time immemorial on the evils and dis comforts of feather mattresses and pillows. In spite of this country peo- pie still adhere to their feather beds either on the score of economy or owing to instilled prejudice against thew fangled notions"
 There have been decided improve ments in sheets and pillow and bols ter covers during the last score o years. All sheets are now doubl width, and pillow and bolster cover
 of tubular weave, that does awaa with the seam at the sides and re duces the making of sheets and pli low covers to the mere hemming oi bnS CdSGS. 1uc OCSb SnCCtluS IS a coarse cotton or linen of a heavy tex ture and of an even weave. For bolster and pillow covers get finer texture, whether of cotton or linen
 Fine bed blankets are to-day so low in price that there is no necessity for making cotton comfortables for pieced quilts. The eiderdown quilt is beyond the reach of any but the wealthy, but the arctic down quilt, which takes it's place, is nearly as light and warm bed covering and decidedly cheap in comparison. The objection to these quilts is the same as the objection to cotton corn- fortables-they cannot be washed at home, and it costs almost as much to have them renovated as it does to replace them. Down comfortables can be renovated by steam, like a feather pillow, if sent away, but a cotton comfortable can never be sat- isfactorily washed. Blankets, on the contrary, are not difficult to wasE and to dry.

BOARD REJECTS PLAN FOR
DIAMOND SHOAL LIGHTHOUSE
Dsapproues Mz. Ellis Proposal Because Without Guazane
and Confrarp TO Pohcl-Senatoss Urge Acceptance

The Lighthouse Board has reported
against the proposal of Albert F. Ellis. a
Boston engineer. to erect lighthouse on
the shifting sands of Diamond Shoal.
Cape Hatteras.
Ellis offered to put a lighthouse on the
shoal for s550.OOO, with the proviso that
if the attempt resulted in failure the
Government was to pay him nothing.
The Lighthouse Board rejects his pro-
posal on the ground that to accept would
be against the policy of the board in the
matter of competition for contracts, and
for the further reason that Ellis offered
no guarantee for the maintenance of the
structure for a definite time.
Diamond Shoal vies with Sable Island
for the designation of the graveyard of
the Atlantic" The Government has for
years maintained lightship on the shoal
to mark the dangerous sands, and in spite
of the stoutest moorings possible the
beacon has repeatedly been swept away.
Two attempts have been made to plant
lighthouses on the shoal. The first,
some ten years ago, was to put down iron
pillars to form a skeleton structure on
The Washington times., 1902-03-17

which to erect the keepers dwelling and
light. After months of waiting for the
waves to become smooth enough to work,
and losing several of the piles, the at
tempt was abandoned.
The other effort was made in 1897 and
cost the Government s269.000 A huge
iron cylinder was constructed and towed
to Cape Hatteras. it being the purpose to
sink it in the sand, pump the sand from
the interior and fill it with concrete to
render it stable. While waiting for favor
able weather the cylinder was lost in a
storm. and since then the Lighthouse
Board has been chary OF all propositions
for a lighthouse on the shoal.
Despite the adverse report of the board
the North Carolina Senator'S have not
abandoned their support of the bill to pay
Ellis the sum he asks on the conditions
that he succeeds in planting a lighthouse
on the shoal. They have collected statis-
tics showing the number OF vessels that
have been cast away on the Diamond
sands for years back and the loss of life.
These figures they will present to the
Senate Committee on Commerce. to whom
the bill has been referred.
Next Thursday Mr.. Ellis will explain
the details of his plans for the proposed
structure.

DEMOCRATS SLOGANS
IN COMING CAMPAIGN

will want the Republicans to explain just
! how it happens that nearly all our manu-
factured products-the trust made and
trust-controlled products - are sold so
| much cheaper to the farmers of Europe
than to the American farmer. And the
Republicans will say: oh. that is a pri
vate affair. and. besides. you farmers are
getting good prices for your crops
But this will not satisfy the man with
the hoe. He has intelligence enough to
know that the trust-made goods are not
sold abroad at a loss, and that the trust
fellows are not in business for their
health. And recalling the ringing anti
trust speeches of Mr. Roosevelt. who is
now SO silent on the subject, the farmers
of the country will seize the opportunity
next November to register their protest.
The Philippine Situation.
But it's not only the trust question
that worries the Republicans. There is the
Philippine situation. We have the ISL
ands. And the country in the campaign
of 1900. whether right or wrong. said we
must retain them. But it's the question
of their management that is now inter-
esting the people.
Something is radically wrong; there is
screw loose. General Otis about two
years ago said the war in the Philippines
was over. and that everything was lovely
But still late information from the ISL
ands is all to the effect that trouble may
break out at any moment.
