WEDDING SHOWER FADS.

/ 1t is not SO difficult to decide upon
what kind of shower to give if the
hostess considers these three questions:
What does she like" what has

TO need?' 1t is unwise to let the choice
fall upon something that will be worth
less with change of style. Zone hun

One of the newest ideas is a maya

they knew her to be interested.

The beauty of the wedding shower
is its tendency towards useful gifts,
and, since the shower gift is in no
way a substitute for the wedding gift.
it is not at all necessary to make the
shower an expensive luxury.

Balfour Talks on
Desired Reforms.

SHEFFIELD, England, October 2
Premier Balfour last night deliv-
cred the first of the expected series
of addresses dealing with the ques-
ton of fiscal reform. The speech
contained no reference to the vacan-
cies in the cabinet.
The premier stated that the ques-
ton had come into prominence at
this juncture as result of the closer
relations with the colonies during the
Boer war and 1t had been discovered
that the colonies themselves had
been building up systems of protec-
ton. while the home country had
done nothing. Mr.. Balfour urged that
ancient traditions be thrown away
and the situation as it stands at
present be faced in it's true light.
for England Is facing world where
international commercial relations
are regulated by treaty.

would be REIN bursed from the gate re-

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

The case OF the city VS. Lucas, Just de
cded by Judge Rice in favor of the city,
is of more Importance to the city than
any case decided for some time.
While the case was brought to recover
a street assessment on Bro dway, yet
the questions at issue in the case, Incl.
dentally involved every street assessment
made in the city prior to short time
ago when, under the advice of the pres.
ent city attorney, change was made.
The substantial question involved was
as to the construction of statute relative
to improvement districts. Mr.. Hogan,
as attorney f"r Lucas. contended that all
property regardless of lots, to the center
OF the block, should pay it's share of the
expense OF the improvement, while
Cross, as attorney for the city, claimed
that the abutting lot, only, should be
taxed. This decision makes valid, so far
as this point is concerned, all former
improvements

MARPLOTS.

The Philadelphia Public Ledger,
pa, err that II ay be depended upon to
support republican candidates, refers to
democrats who give faithful support to
the national platform as "Dourbons and
marplots." That same paper insists
that eff the democratic party is to have
the slightest chance of success III the
next national campaign, or If it is even
to make respectable showing at the
POLLS" it must follow the men who in
the opinion of the Public Ledger "were
wise and honest and courageous enough
to refuse to support the mischievous
heresies OF Organism as they were pro
mulgated as the party's creed at Chicago
and Kansas CITY," The Public Ledger
refers TO the men who bolted the demo-
cratic ticket in 1896 and in 1900 as "the
shrewdest and best democrats in the
country"
The Public Ledger has never been
known to manifest genuine concern for
the welfare of the democratic party and
democrats generally will not accept as
fact, upon the mere statemen. OF re-
publican paper, that those who supported
the democratic tic ket and were faithful
to democratic principles are "bourbons
and marplots," while those who gave cid
and encouragement to the enemy, who
repudiated the platform wnen it merely
explicitly stated the things for which
the democratic party has always claimed
to stand, were "the shrewdest and best
democrats in the country"
1t is not, in the least, surprising that
republican papers like the Public Ledger
should conclude that "the shrewdest
and best democrats ia the country" are
those who support the republican ticket
and embrace the policies of the Hannas
while the "bourbons and marplots" are
those who support the democratic ticket
and defend the principles of Jefferso.'.

SAVING THE ODD INCH.

Now that timber in many of the older
numbering localities of the country is
rapidly becoming so scarce that opera
tors see the beginning OF the end, they are
also be.ining to make efforts to put that
end as far away as possible. As compared
with methods of number OF years ago.
many OF the things done now would
have made thousands OF dollars differ
ence in the value of their product in the
intervening years. Not al Of the later
methods however, would have been
practical when timber was more plentl-
full. Millions of feet OF lumber that now
find ready market could not be sold
when the better grades were easily OBJ
tainable. The prices at which they
would have been sold would not have
paid for their manufacture. The appar-
ent waste OF the old days was not waste
at that time, though similar waste would
be almost criminal today. But there is
one particular in which it seems that
the manufacture of lumber got "a wrong
start, and many manufacture are COM
ing to recognize its truth. This is the
universal and we'll established rule OF
cutting almost everything into even inch
widths.
This question was the topic OF CONVEX.
sation recently between a prominent
white pine manufacturer and large
manufacturer of hardwood lumber. The
later had been instrncting his sawyers
for years to manufacture the odd widths
whenever the log would permit it. His
instructions was to cut the kelf out Of
the bark rather than out of the sound
material of the log, and thus add width
to the board whenever possible. The
white pine manufacturer said that in
very recent years he had given similar
instructions to his sawyers. He had
estimated closely, the results and be.
lieved he had annually increased his
profits by several thousand dollars. Far
from the odd widths being drug on the
market, he had experienced no difficulty
in disposing all they cut. The use Of
four, six, eight, ten and twelve inch
widths in lumber is purely arbitrary.
There is no reason why the odd in,h be-
low the regular widths cannot be used
as well for many purposes. How many
millions Cf feet of lumber have been
absolutely wasted every year since lum-
Der was first manufactured to even
widths would be hard to calculate.-
Mississippi Valley Lumberman.
