Z Don't confuse these recent ribbon
flowers with those of last year. They
are quite different, being infinitely
easier to do, as well as richer in ef-

The flower most frequently seen is
also the best choice for the beginner.
Let her begin with a spray of roses,
such as that shown in the picture,
attempting the more difficult things
as she acquires practice.
Wide, soft ribbon, in several tints,
is used for the blossoms. Much of
the beauty Of the flower lies in the
shading of the various tints, and
here, of course, the blossom maker
must be guided by her eye.

Il Queens Gift.

While at an Open-air bazaar and fete
in the Estrella Gardens recently, the
Queen Dowager of Portugal lost a gold
bracelet set with diamonds, which she
greatly priced as the gift Of the late
King Luiz on their wedding day. A
close search of the grounds for the
missing ornament met with no success
On going home in the evening one Of
the Oldest of the keepers was relating
the incident to his wife when their lit
tie 7-year-old granddaughter slipped
out Of bed and, to their astOnishment
held out the lost bracelet, asking them
to look at the pretty round thing she
had found in the gardens.
Next day the keeper FASTENED to the
palace with the ornament, and on an
nouncing his errand was admitted di-
rectly to the Queen, who offered him a
GIO note as a reward. The old man,
however, proudly declined to accept it,
saying he had only done his duty.

old. and will soon die. If her Majesty
wishes to do something for me let her

Justice of the Peace Browne Of

bench. His merry "ha-ha" and BEAM
ing smile are known to every man.
woman and child in the navy yard
town. On the bench. however, he is
different. When dealing out justice
to the sailors and marines who. after
imbibing too much Vallejo whisky,
break the law and to the other
offenders who come before him he
is sternness personifed. Woe betide
the mortal who. with a knowledge Of
Brownies Jollity, presumes upon his
good nature when he is arrayed in
his robe OF Office. He is indeed an
unlucky mortal.
Quite recently Judge Browne de-
termined that his good nature was a
handicap. He reached this conclusion
after a session Of his court which was
spent in explaining to a half dozen
prisoners the evils OF a life Of idleness
and the great scope of the vagrancy
law. 1t happened in this wise:
Among the prisoners hailed before
the Judge were two men, fairly we'll
dressed, who had for several weeks
made themselves conspicuous by hang
ing about a resort whose reputation
was not of the best. They did not
work, so they were arrested on
charge of vagrancy. The morning
they appeared before Browne they ex-
planned they were prospective pur-
chasers of the place and the charge
was dismissed, after the Judge had
lectured them and told them that idle
ness was not countenanced in vallejo.
Both men thanked the Judge and then
secured their valuables from Chief of
Police Stanford. The latter had more
than 500 belonging to one of the
Migrants" and this individual as
soon as he received his cash de-
liberately picked out two half-dollars
from the pile. walked over to Judge
Brownies desk and dropped the coins
in the Judges hand, saying:
Judge, you are all right. Buy
yourself q cigar or two"
What the Judge said, as white faced
and fuming he arose and threw the
money in the fellows face. is not in

Fairbanks Extremity.

A story is told of how in early days
Senator Fairbanks< Republican nom
inee for Vice President, was instructed
in public speaking by a certain pro-
fessor whose favorite maxim was:
Always speak what is uppermost in
your mind. for that is sure to be up
permost in the minds of your audi
ence.'
rs this necessarily always the
case?" inquired the embryo Senator,
to whom this was new doctrine.
Always" said the professor, with
finality in his manner that forbade
further discussion.
Some time afterward the young ora
tor found himself before an audience
in which ladies largely predominated.
The room was warm and stuffy. In
the front rank sat the aged professor

LABOR AND FREE TRADE.

THE first results of the inquiry being carried
on by the British Tariff Commission has been
made public in report the condition of the
steel and iron industries of the kingdom The evidence
submitted is sufficient to justify, in that trade at least
all that Mr.. Chamberlain has said of the folly of
continuing free trade policy in the face of the intense
industrial competition of time
1t appears that the industry employs upward of z65
persons, and the commission examined representa-
tives of plants at which 235ooo of them
gagged. The report, therefore, be objected to
the score Of a lack of comprehensiveness 1t has
covered well nigh the whole field of the industry and the
witnesses drawn both from the employed and the
employing class. The report shows that many works
have, within the last years, closed down utterly
and many more are running reduced time that
while protective tariff countries like the United
States and Germany the iron and steel output has been
steadily increasing, it has been diminishing in Great
Britain.
The strictly economic results of free trade shown
in the report well known to be worth elaborate
review at this time, but there is comparatively
point brought by the inquiry that is worth noting
1t asserted by many of the witnesses examined that
the practice OF running short time not only reduced
the earnings OF workingmen but had injurious phys
ical effect and diminished their value workers. The
fact stated repeatedly in the testimony before
the commissioners and occupies prominent place in
the report
According TO a review given in the London Mail of
the report, witness said:
Il think there the slightest doubt that labor
would be very much more efficient if it regularly
employed The get into slack sort of way through
irregular employment, which has very serious effect
the efficiency of their labor" And another said:
Il think that in consequence of the intermittent char
acter of employment workmen noticeaby de-
teriorating in physical condition The effect of short
time induce loafng, condition which they
easily get out of again. They much better workmen
when they work full time than half time" Yet third
says: 81 consider that the physical condition of
workmen deterioratng because do not keep them
fully employed working three days week is
good a working six"
Facts of that kind stated by who know and who
frst-cass authorities the subject not to be
offset by the theories of academic free traders and the
report of the commission is certain to immensely
strengthen the position of Chamberlain The statements
worth noting in this country, too for while it
likely the Democrats will undertake straghtout free
trade fight is we'll to keep power the friends
of protection that there will be free trade tinker
ing with the tariff.

DEMOCRATIC CHANCES.

VIZ HlLE the Democratic leaders have been as
ing everything in sight, they have
tured this year. in times past, to the States in
which they expect to be successful They put down the
solid South of course being certain for them, then
they claim New York but that is about far they
go the way of specification. For the rest, they
about as willing to claim Massachusetts, and Iowa as
anything else
1t seems indeed if there hardly any doubtful
States this year, unless New York New Jersey be
are from the Empire State. There was time when
Democracy had a fighting chance in Ohio, Illinois and
Indiana, but that time has gone by Indiana has
gone Democratic since 1892 Four years ago it gave
Mckinley plurality of over 10000, while two years
ago it gave, in State election Republican plurality
Of $4,000. The record of Illinois is dis
couraging to Democratic calculations than that of
Indiana, for during the past years the average Re-
publican majority in that State has been upward of 3d.
600, and two years ago it nearly 10000.
Since the decline of Populism Kansas has returned
her old allegiance to the party of protection and sound
money. Wisconsin, despite the faction fight in the Re-
publican ranks, hardly be counted doubtful in
the Presidential campaign California is for Roose-
velt and the may be said of all the Pacific Coast
States Under the circumstances therefore the claim
of victory put forth by the Democratic leaders to en-

The address was begun with fine ef-

This was too much for the audi

never drank anything stronger than
water. But that was the turning point
of the meeting, which came TO a sue

What IT Costs.

Modern naval warfare is one of the
most costly things that can be imag-
ined and a combat between two fleets
means the expenditure of vast sums of
money. Some idea of the high cost
can be arrived at by taking a japanese
warship like the Kasuga or Nysshin
and calculating the number of shots
she would discharge. say, at Port Ar
thur The first named ship carries
four cannon which cost $4,000 each.
One of these guns can fire two shots
per minute and every shot costs S4OO;
thus in five minutes these four cannon
can discharge forty bombs at a cost
Of $4,000. The smaller cannon cost
each $4,000 and every shot they fire
means an expenditure of $40 They are
very rapid and it is estimated that in
five minutes the twelve cannon could
discharge shot to the value of nearly
$35. .0O0.-Leslies Weekly.
