Dundonald claimed. hut with a devas-

So the government declined to use II

British government exacted of him a
pledge that he would not use nor d.
vulge his invention there. a pledge
which he kept at cost of FORGETTING his

Prof. Ray Lancaster, the British sci
enlist, has brought to light a curious
trick practiced by London dealers in
osprey p,umes. Some time ago the
princess of Wales placed herself at the
head of a movement to discourage the
U.s. of real osprey plumes in order to
save the birds from slaughter. The
result was an immediate decline in the
sale. since fashion could not fly in the
face of the princess of Wales. But re-
Gently facts have come to the notice of
Prof. Lancaster showing that among
certain fashionable milliners it has be-
come a practice to sell genuine piumes

Every housekeeper should know
that IL they will buy Defiance Cold

will save not only time. because 1t
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 ozone full

starches are put up in A-pound pack

cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. II your grocer tries to sell you a
12-oz. package 1t is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.

WIFE WAS JUSTLY INDIGNANT
Husbands Failure to "Bawi" at Hei
Demise Was Too Much.

Mrs. Letltla Tyler Semple, who was
mistress OF the White House during
President Tyler's administration. has
just celebrated in Washington her
eIgnty-third birthday.
THE statesman | liked best in my
youth was Daniel Webster" Mrs. Sem
pie said the other day. He was a
handsome man and talked well. ! re-
member a banquet one night whom the
subject OF death and dying came up.
and Mr.. Webster told us story that
was half funny and half pathetic.
HE said that an old woman lay
very III and after a time she went
on into a trance. She lay SO still in
this trance that they thought the end
had come. and when she opened her
eyes again at last her husband said to
her in surprised tone:
why. Mandy. we thought We wuz
dead
The poor woman looked at her hus-
band moment and then she burst in
to tears.
"sAnS ye never bawled Bit she
sobbee. we thought | wuz dead and
yer eyes wuz dry. Couldn't We have
bawled little bit, Jabezg
The old man was deeply moved.
and he did actually bawi then. But

Weapons of Modern War

away In the confidential archives OF
the British war office.
Now. 1t may be that the British gov
aids invention was too iphumanly de-
structive to be used. But II seems
doubtful II governments will assent to
the outlawing OF any of the existing
enginery OF war. or even OF some new
inventions that may yet be perfected.
81. 1t would be absurd to de-
mand that warfare In the twentieth
century should be conducted with the
weapons of the tenth century. Nor
arc we sure that 1t would be well for
humanity thus to restrain warfare
within primitive limits, even II 1t could
be done. The mere terrible the en-
gines Of war become. the fewer the
wars themselves become. and. strange
as II may seem. the less destructive do
they become. Hannibal used weapons
which would be contemplate by the
side of those of the last hundred years.
and his army was mere handful COM
pared with those welded by Napoleon
and Grant and MOltke. Yet no battle
OF the last century can be compared
with Cannae in destructlveness to hu-
man life. Had Gettysburg equaled IL.
proportionately. not a single man OF
Lees army would have been left alive.
AS for Waterloo. ,ts slaughter seems
insignificant besides that OF the Apu-
Ian field Nor wes Canrae singular
The battles and the wars of old were.
as n general rule. more numerous and
more deadly than those of modern
times. The broadsword and the plum
did greater havoc than the rife and
the machine gun. So. In a strange
way. do deadly Inventions lessen NOR
tally. and so, with strange literal
ness. does civilization get forward up
on a powder cart.-New York Tribune.
