a spa lie, but this is slow and costly
process.
Newton had Just invented hydrau-
lie DIRE ige and his idea was TO dig the
peat by means of this II planned
to start canal III the peat beds, Just
large enough to float a small dredge,
and TO build racks, or bins. along the
distance he desired the canal to fol.
low. He figured that when once start
ed the dredge would dig it's own way
II would sue up the material, half
water and half peat, and throw il into
the bins. The force of the water and
the weight of the peat would, accord
ing to the calculations of the engine
er pack it into a solid mass and the
water would run of through the open-
ings in the bins After the material
became dry the racks would be re-
moved and the peat sawed into chunks
of the desired size and placed upon
the market.
MIR, Newton had a good reputation
as an engineer and his scheme was
looked upon with favor at that time,
but even while he was perfecting ar
rangements for carrying out the pro-
lect he was accidently killed. With
the chief promoter gone nothing fur
ther was done and the peat beds still
lie in their old, undisturbed condition.
Foreign governments and certain
parts of the nited States have even
better and more economical ways
than this in making the peat mar
ketable product. 1t will be the duty
of the Chamber of Commerce to find
out about all these metho DIS and re

The wife Of great American banker
Is known for her even temper, and no
matter what annoys her she smiles and
refuses to be displeased. This may be
the reason why she has no wrinkles
although almost forty. She is idolized
by her servants, because no matter
what they do she never permits her
housekeeper to reprove them. This
consideration is rewarded by a house
fu, Of faithful and happy servants who
will go through fire to serve mt
DAME" This amiable woman pays
serniannual visits to the kitchen and
the regions adjacent, but she does not
make this tour unheralded. Not she!
She fears lest she find corners full of
dust or quantities of broken china.
Therefore she appoints some day and
sends down this inscription to be post
ed In the servants hall: Madame in
tends to visit the kitchen Thursday of
next week." When madame makes
this long announced visit she is greeted
by trim laundry maids, perfect order
and the chef in the whitest of white
linen. Then brilliantly she tells her
friends how smoothly her establish
ment moves.

Senator Hoar's Reading.

Senator George f. Hear has a good
reading appetite. His novel reading
consists chiefly of reading and reread-
ing Sir Walter Scott's novels, the "Bar-
setshire Stories by Anthony Trollope,
three or four of Dumas and OCCASION
ally one Of Miss Austen's. He is also
very fond of detective stories, from
Sherlock Holmes to Old Sleuth. In a
letter regarding the matter Mr.. Hoar
says: '"The books which I read con-
stantly, more than any others. are Nil
ton, George Herbert, Vaughan and
Emerson and Jeremy Taylor. I am
very fond Of English biographies. es-
pecially political biographies. in which
I include the lives of the English bisn-
ops and archbishops. But when my
eyesight Is good I am rather q miscel-
ianeous reader and read good many
books of all sorts"

CABINET MEETINGS.
They Are Informal Affairs, Where
Many Good Stories Are Tc1d.

They Are Informal Affairs. Where
Many Good stories Are Tc1d.
There has been good deal Of fiction
about the cabinet meetings for many
years. There seems to be very gem
eral impression abroad that the cabi-
net meetings are like the sessions Of
congress or those Of the supreme
court; that the president calls the meet
ings to order and presides during the
deliberations, acting as moderator,
while the secretaries bring forward the
business of their various departments,
consider 1t and then vote as to what
shall be done Nothing could be
further from the truth than this.
Salmon P. Chase, after serving four
years in President Lincoln's cabinet as
secretary of the treasury, said In one
of his letters to friend that he had
never attended what might be called
business meeting of the cabinet.
They met twice q week then, as now,
and talked sometimes about the war
and sometimes about matters that had
no relation to official business. Some
times the president would open the
meeting with story and the members
of the cabinet would also tell stories.
That Is the situation today.
President Mckinley was prompt
about the hour of the cabinet meeting
and always entered the cabinet room
at II o'clock. but he did not always
begin by bringing up business mat
tiers. There were often q few min
utes Of social chat and perhaps a sto-
~, and then he would ask if any mem
Der had any question he wished to
bring up for general consideration.
There were some prolonged and tedi-
Gus cabinet meetings then, for there
were members who loved to talk and
thought that their talk Influenced the
administration but it did not Impor-
tant questions were decided in private
conferences between the president and
the secretary whose department had
charge Of that question.
Only once during the Mckinley ad-
ministration was question put to
vote in the cabinet. That was on the
Cuban message to congress. The pres
fdent had prepared a peace message,
but the temper of congress was for
war. The message was read to the
cabinet, and each member was in
vited to express his views. They did
SO, and they were evenly divided. But
the president had decided to change
his message and voted with the war
party. He wrote new message,
which went to congress and satisfied
the country and ended the Cuban
question by driving Spain out of the
island
President Roosevelt does not always
enter the cabinet room on time. He
Is SO energetic and surrounded by so
many callers from congress that he Of
ten forgets that his cabinet is waiting
for him. He enters the room and asks
about the business of the various de-
partments rs a matter Of form, gives
his views briefly and lets the secretary
settle 1t or come to him for more ex-
tensive conference at some other time.
There are no long winded debates with |
every member expressing his views on
questions that are foreign to his own
work and on which his opinion Ia of |,
no particular value. The cabinet meet |
ings are more often social gatherings |
than business meetings.-Chicago Inter

Matrimonial Laxity.

There Is no surer sign of the in

divorced persons generation ago and
