Keeps Importers Gues~sa<.

+'yIow old is ANN" is easy when COM
pared with that crazy quilt patchwork
puzzle, the Dngley bill, whose different
patches. or rates of duty, We're designed
10y thousand different manufacturers
and We're simply pieced together by
Congressman Dingley. Dingley, how
ever, still further raised the rates so as
to have a trading margin that would
leave the trusts plenty of protection
after we had swapped tariffs with nu
merous foreign countries, according to
the original reciprocity plan. The man
ufacturers. after making the rates rs
high as they dared. had inserted blind
paragraphs basket clauses. etc, to
fool the unintated and to force the
rates or many articles much higher
than congress intended.
In this way. by compelling new and
unexpected classitications. the rates OH
scores of articles have been forced up.
Hundreds of importers are kept guess
ing by this Dingley puzzle.
The pearl importers have recently
had the rate of duty forced up from 20
to 60 per cent. and this. too. after the
goods had been imported ut the lower
rate and sold on that basis. The United
States circuit court decided on Jan. IS
that pearls imported in box and ar
ranged i'll graduating sizes should be
classified as jewelry and pay duty of
60 per cent. The same pearls on a pa
per would have the same value, but
would pay only 20 per cent duty This
difference cost one importing firm $50
600 in one year.

Queer Kind of Barrels.

The scarcity of wood suitable for
the purposes of the wine producers of
California has led to the manufacture
of vessels Of other materials than
wood. At the big winery and distil-
lery of the Italian-Swiss agricultural
colony at Asti, Cal, the greater por-
ton of the cooperage is being changed
from wood to cement lined with glass
An expert from Italy has arrived to
do the work. and it is now being con-
Quoted with rapidity. Eight OF the
largest tanks are being lined with
plate glass about half an inch in
thickness.
The tanks are square, with rounded
corners and oval tops. Cement will
be employed outside the glass interior
instead of wood. The glass, to fit the
curvatures, has to be blown to order,
and is very expensive. The total stor-
age capacity at the Asti warehouse
and winery is 1920, 900 gallons, and
the improvement contemplated VIII

Kate Sanhorn Queries.

After speaking of vast piles of de-
caying carcasses of the herons slain
for their plumes and the thousands of
young birds left to starve, all for the
sake of securing the plumes for wom-
ems hats, Mr.. Scott says: 81 wish
clearly to emphasize the fact that
do not blame the women who use
these decorations, for men are the
responsible parties. No woman ever
wore a decoration of any kind, much
less the feather of a bird, for her own
pleasure, or to attract the attention
of other women. The object for which
women wear decorations is to en-
nance their attractiveness and beauty
to men, not to themselves, or to each
other. And as long as men care to
have womens hats decorated with
feathers and express their approval
by admiration bestowed, just so long
will the custom endure"

well as he does birds From her arti-
