TORTOISE SHELL.
I'm Working 1t Gentle Heat and Pres
sure Are Mainly Used.

I'm Working 1t Gentle Heat and Pres
sure Are Mainly Used.
A tortoise shell is harder and more
brittle than ordinary horn. Heat and
pressure are practically the only means
which can be employed in working it..
and it is impossible to work tortoise
shell at great heat, since the coloring
pigment easily liquefies and obscures
the shell, thereby greatly lessening it's
value Heavy pressure is also impos-
sible owing to it's brittle character
The plates of the carapace, or back
shell, are first separated from the skel-
eton by the application of gentle heat
and then fattened by similar proc
ess. The superficial irregularities are
next rasped off, and the material is
polished, ready for holding into any
desired shape.
Larger or thicker plates are produced
by process which requires great care
and attention. Two surfaces are first
rasped and cleaned and are then gen
tly heated and pressed together The
heat liquefes them, and the pressure
effects q perfect union, making an in
visible joint
Tortoise shell combs are cut by the
highly ingenious twinning machine, SO
called because two combs are cut from
the same plate, so that the teeth Of one
dovetail into the spaces Of the other,
avoiding all waste.

A Clergyman's Prayer.

An old clergyman in Maine in q dry
season exchanged with a brother from
the seacoast. The congregation was
made up Of men, half farmers and half
fishermen, and the soil was sandy and
poor, while his in the interior was fer
tile and rich. He opened his prayer as
follows: 20 Lord, have been asked to
pray for rain, and do so, but thou
xnowest, O Lord, what this soil needs
y dressing"

: HEARST has lost IN first round

Ashland county has elected anti
Hearstdelegates tothedemocrat-
lie state convention. Mayor
Burt Williams has been the otfic-.
ial manager for Hearst in north
ern Wisconsin, and has been de-
feated in his Cwn county by a re-
vulsion of sentiment against the
yellow journalism Of Hearst. Vi
the delegates elected from Ash
land county it is very doubtful
whether the majority OF them
have voted the democratic ticket
OF late years as they have been
so thoroughly opposed to the
heresies of Organism that they
have chosen the republican can
didates instead of the regular de-
mocratic nominees Ashland
county mas gone back to conser-
vative democratic principles, and
will endeavor to help guide the
democratic ship Of state into
safer channels than it has been
navigating for long time. The
movement in Wisconsin for h. Z.
Wall for the presidency is sim
ply an adjunct to the eastern
movement headed by Grover
Cleveland and Judge Parker for
a return to sound democratic
principles.

HONORABLE John j. Jenkins,
who has served this district so
faithfully for many years, will
be renom mated at Spooner Fri
day. Mr.. jenkins has paid no
attention to the clamOr Of opposi-
tion to him, but has remained at
his post in Washington working
night and day for the interests
of his constituency, and has TAX
en- no part in the affairs of his
district. He has vigorously
maintained that if his services
were not satisfactory to the
people of his dist1 let that he
would step down and out if they
chose to nominate some one else.
But the district has too valuable
a member to let him go, and Mr..
Jenkins will consequently re-

The democratic congressman
are seeking for an issue upon
which to base their coming cam
paign, and are meeting with
failure. And Willie Hearst is
trying to Lelp the matter along
with actions in the courts against
certain trusts he belives to be IL
legal. Some bitter attacks are
being made upon the president,
but every effort to work upon
popular sympathy seems to fall
absolutely fat. Organism and
conservatists among the demo
cats arequite as far removed from
getting together as it is possible
to be, and one branch of the party
as vigorously assailing the other
branch and vice versa. The
democratic condition this year is
a hopeless one, and the fouder
ing about of the congressman is
almost pitiable.

The death OF Geo. G. Vest
calls to mind again his last
great gift to Missouri educa-

failing health made it evident
that he must retire from public
life, he notified the authorities
of Missouri University Of his
intention to make a magnificent
contribution to tile library of
that institution. Under date of
December IS, 1902, in his own
hand, he wrote:
Il have copy of every val
liable publication since 1879,

have concluded TO present these
books to the Missouri State

braces, scientific, historical and

Points For Parents.

Study the child and discov-

lies" says Mrs. Theodore w.
Birney, Honorary President of
the National Congress of Moth
ers. discussing The Choice Of
Occupation" in the September
DelineatOr. Mrs. Birney yer y
warmly advocates kind Of
natural selection which is indi-
Gated in the trend of the child S
play. 1t is suggested and with
reason, that Child's toys and
favorite pursuits are sure in
dex to his vocation. Tne plan
is founded on child study, and,
as the author says, "If parents
gave to the careful study Of
their children one.half the earn
est thought that they bestow
on matters of comparatively
minor Importance, we shou Id
see far fewer round pegs in

The fact tbat'the strikers now
expect the government to begin
proceedings against the packers
we'll illustrates the point so Of
ten brought out, that strikers
and the companies are always
of the opinion that there are on
ly two parties to a strike-the
corporations involved and the
men. Because the employees
and the packers are at outs, the
strikers suddenly reach the
conclusion that the government
should come to their rescue by
enforcing the trust laws. This
is a wrong principle. There is
a third party in the case, says
the Springfield Leader, and its
interests should be looked af-
ter, strike or no strike. 1t is
the people. If the packers are
violating the trust law and
there is no doubt that they are
the government should act re-
CARELESS of the wishes Of the
strikers, In fact, the govern
ment should have acted years
ago. The laws should be en-
forced and the people protected
whether violated by the pack
ers in their combinations or by
the strikers in their assaults on
men who take their places. -
