When, however. approach the application
OF the policy to industrial affairs, there is
room for honest difference of opinion, and l. for
one neither discourage nor condemn the fair
honest and frank expression of these differences
or opinion. Some may believe that there are
schedules which should be changed now; some
may believe that there are schedules that should
be changed next year. and there are others who
may believe that the schedules should not be
changed at ali; and still they are loyal to the
party and present a united front to the COM

his integrity nor challenge his Repubcanism

the application of the historic policy of the in

that all lust powers of the government should
be increasingly eXerted TO prevent and over

the production Of American farms and American

case against King Leopold of Belgium to mem
bers of the British Parliament with the result
that resolution was recently adopted by that
body directing the British Foreign Office to cor
respond with the signatory powers to the Brus-
sells Treaty. which recognized the independence
of the Congo Free State. DR.. Morrison made
the same showing to the State Department to-
day that resulted in this action of the British
Leopold at least three articles of that treaty
were being violated First. that Belgium has a
monopoly of the foreign trade of the Congo.
This fact 1t is asserted. incidentally works to
the disadvantage of the United States, in cur
failing the heretofore prosperous trade in cotton
goods with the thirty million natives of the
Congo Second. that the section of the treaty
giving all religious denominations equal priv
ieges in the Congo has been violated. Third
that the worst kind of inhUmanity is practised
there being forced labor and brutal treatment of
the natives and foreigners alike.
The department has given indication OF its
action in the matter.

Payne to-day issued order abolshing the
place Of physician in postoffices at the close of
business on June 80, 1903. This order wipes out
a small list of officials whose employment, with

wide discussion in connection with the postoffice
investigation. Some. at least, of these offices
paid Sl,1OO a year, and were sinecures. One
man was carried on the rolls of the Washington

practically duties to perform. The office

Rainfall and Floods.

the problem of mastering ant using
the rainfall in the Mississippi water

an annual rampage, q menace to the
numerous populated skirting the
banks Of the river.
There are irid lands along the
course of the Missouri which need
badly each season the food water sent
down to swell the lower Mississippi
torrents in the early spring. In all
the territory drained by the Upper
Mississippi scarcely a season passes
when there is not a lack of rainfall
at a critical time. Forests through
out that region have been swept away.
Swamp land has been drained. Every
channel is open and free, and as soon
as the winter SHOWS melt the waters
hurry gter thu frozen ground into the
rivers, and there is q food.
Scientists Of today have found that
not only are forests important III the
preservation of life-giving moisture,
| but they also lend to prevent foods.
| Even the dust Of the desert plays it's
! part. for meteoroiogists tell us that
| without it rain clouds would probably
not form. Men, i'll their rush for

fReWELs or THE BRickLAYER:
Modern Changes in Them-Different

Modern Changes in Them-Different
Styles Used.
aThe bricklayer's trowel," said a.
dealer in such things, might have
seemed long g to have reached It's
final perfected shape, new to change
again; but, as a matter of fact, it has
been in the past dozen years altered
considerably in its proportions, the
better to adapt it to modern eendi.
lions:
'3The cid style trowel was used for
laying bricks with mortar; but now
bricks are laid more commonly with
cement, witch is used in a far more
nearly fluid state than was mortar,
and the old style trowel wouldn't take
enough Of it. So masons> were con-
tlnually calling for a wider trowel, and
in answer to this demand the trowel
has gradually been widened until now
it is an inch or more wider than 1t
formerly was. It is also made now
adays q little shorter than formerly.
'sAnd of trowels in general there are
now more styles than there formerly
were, due to the greater complication
of modern construction, and the great
er need of trowe1s for special uses.
while the bricklayer's trowe1,
shorter and wider, as l have described
1t to you, is now the standard here
abouts, brick1ayers throughout the
country do not everywhere use the
same kind. Thus, while we use here a
trowel Of a certain form and dimen-
sions, they use in California a trowel
with a bigger and thinner blade than
that of ours; there they don't cut and
trim bricks with the edge Of the
| trOwel, but use a chisel that is made
for the purpose. But, then, men in
| different parts Of the country have
different methods in bricklaying prac-
tice, as we'll as different tools.
"a Western mason, for instance,
will spread his mortar or cement along
and lay three or four bricks at once,
while a Boston mason lays bricks sing
ly. / don't know that n method is
any faster than the other"

QUITE THE THING.

It is noticeable hat nowadays on

more and more the thing to serve Il va

orange in nests of curled celery. with
mayonnaise dressing, are among the
varieties served by way Of a salad
course. But the ingenious housewife
can easily devise others quite as whole

FAULTY BREAD.

From the appearance Of the bread we
think the whole trouble lies in the i'm
perfect mixing Of the ingredients, par
ticularly the yeast and -four. The kind
of yeast is not stated. If a dry yeast
be used it should first be softened in a
little lukewarm milk or water, Their
stirred into the rest of the liquid TO be
used in making the bread. Add the
salt, sugar and shortening, if these be
used, and then stir in the -four. When
all the -four has been added knead the
dough from ten to twenty minutes to
bring out the elasticity OF the gluten
and to insure the even distribution Of
all the ingredients.-Boston Cooking

HOW TO SPLIT PAPER.

Paper can be split into two or even
three parts, however thin the sheets.
1t nay be convenient to know how to
do this sometimes, as, for instance,
when one wishes to paste in a scrap
book an article printed On both sides
OF the paper.
Get a piece of plate glass and place
It on a sheet OF paper. Then let the
paper be thoroughly soaked. With care
and a little skill the sheet can be split
by the top surface being removed.
The best plan, however, is to paste a
piece of cloth or strong paper to each
side Of the sheet to be split. When
dry, quickly and without hesitation,
pull the two pieces asunder, when one
part Of the sheet will be found to have
adhered to one and part to the other.
Soften the paste in water and the
pieces can be easily removed from the
cloth.-The Household.
