Keeps Importers Guessing.

GLOW old is ANN" is easy when COM
pared with that crazy quilt patchwork
puzzle. the Dingley bill, whose different
by thousand different manufacturers
and were simply pieced together by
Congressman Dingley. Dingley, how
ever. still further raised the rates so rs
to have a trading margin" that would
leave the trusts plenty Of protection
after we had swapped tariffs With MI
merous foreign countries. according to
the original reciprocity plan. The man
ufncturerS, after making the rates as
high us they dared. had inserted blind
paragraphs. basket clauses, etc. to
fool the uninitiated and to force the
rates on many articles much higher
than congress intended.
In this way, by compelling new and
unexpected classifications. the rates OH
scores of articles have been forced up.
Hundreds of importers are kept guess
ing by this Dinsley 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 at the lower
rate and sold on that basis. The United
States circuit court decided on Jan. 10
that pearls imported in a box and ar-
ranged in graduating sizes should be
classified as jawelry and pay a duty of
GO per cent. The same pearls on pa
per would have the same value, but
would pay only 20 per cent duty. This
difference cost one importing firm $5O.-
GOO in one year.

pounds of nuts that sold for $l6O 81

Meat Eating and Appendicitis.

Recent Investigations made by sur
geons in the French army in all parts
of the world demonstrate, to their sa.-
isfaction at least, that the prevalence
of appendicitis is in exact proportion
to the prevalence of meat eating. This
may or may not be true, but person
who is suffering from appendicitis or
any other disease will not lose any
thing by abstaining from the use Of
meat for a time and noticing the eff
feet on his complaint. This much may
be said even If vegetarianism is de-

The Curae Of PnYeetx.

In the court that dismissed Senator
Dietrich on technicality young man
who broke into postoffice and stole 80
pennies and 50 worth of stamps was
sentenced to three years in the federal
penitentiary, while an employee in the
Omaha postoffice who stole 5000 was
let off with fine of $4,000, or 500 less
than the amount of his stealings. And
vet there are those who complain be-
cause there is an apparent growth of
popular distrust of the courts.-Com-

HURRYiNG OCEAN MAIL.
American Liners Beat the British
Record with Our Letters.

Letters to Europe in the year 1904
probably will be better and more eX-
peditiously handled than in any period
postoffice department This is due
largely TO the recent change of the
sailing day of the American line steam
ers from Wednesday morning TO Sat
urday. These vessels formerly carried
the Wednesday mails, which are now
being carried by White Star vessels.
and the change has enabled them to
take charge of the end-of hey week
mail which is very much the larger.
How large ii is may be judged from
the fact that every week from 5000 to
1000 bags of mail leave New York for
Europe, each bag containing from 1000
to 5000 letters and from 200 to 400 pa
pers. During the Christmas rush, for
example, the steamship Philadelphia
single voyage.
Under the older arrangements the
Saturday mail to Europe reached Lon
don too late for Saturday distribution,
and, as there is no distribution of mails
on Sunday in London, the American
letters remained an entire day in the
English postoffice before going onward
toward their destination The Ameri-
can line vessels, however, get the mail
to London in time for Saturday distri-
button. This distribution is very much
facilitated by the fact that the vessels
carry an ocean branch of the United
States postoffice. From the time ship
steams out of New York harbor until
the mail bags are to be forwarded to
the London Office the postal clerks on
board the ship are busily sorting and
arranging letters.
The change in sailing time of the
American line was made by arrange
ment with the United States postoffice
officials and aside from other facts it
is interesting to note that it places a
large amount of the United States for
cign mail under the United States flag
Unlike the English government, Uncle
Sam. however. has always had q way
of choosing the most convenient and
quickest vessels for forwarding his let
ters, and even now letter posted in
England must be marked Via Ameri-
can packet" if the writer wishes it to
take the first ship for America.

Furs and the Throat.

Nine Antdnette Sterling was great
advocate Of fresh air. Not only did
she regularly patronize the tops of
buses, but even when in a cab she sat
in the back seat and kept both win
dows open. Furthermore, she always
declined to wear any fur or wrap round
her neck and used to declare that peo-
pie who coddled their throats often
caught colds, but that she never did.
A celebrated example like this is worth
quoting since all the medical teaching
is entirely in accord with her theory

The Most Original
Novel of the Year

The most competent judges have pro-
nounced "In the Bishops Carriage" the
most original novel of the year.
1t is a tale about flesh and blood
people; a story for men and IN
"Uncle Joe" Cannon, Speaker of the
National House of Representatives, is
most enthusiastic in his praise of Miss
Miriam Michelson's book. This is what
he has to say about it:
81 am in receipt of a copy of ain the
Bishops Carriage by Miriam Michel
son. / read the same with great plea
sure. 1t seems to me it ought to be a
popular publication and one that will
exert a good influence. Perhaps | can
best describe it by saying that [ COM
menced reading it early in the morning
and finished it that night and the COM
ing morning, and when finished | drew
a long breath and felt that | had for
gotten everything else but the book and
regretted that there was not more of it.
With respect, etc.
J. G. CANNON"
Could any thing be stronger OF could
praise come from a better source?
The story is something absolutely
new in the literary line-a theatrical
romance that abounds in thrilling stu
atoms interviewer with genuine humor
and human heart-burnings. In fact,
the tale is SO remarkably good that the
Sunday North American of Philadel-
phia has secured the exclusive right to
publish it in this territory, and will
print the first instalment next Sunday,
June 26, with illustration worthy ofthe
story.

for several years a successful and much

that time he has practiced law in Chi

represented his district in the Illinois
general assembly. Politics is a recre-

in the affairs of the Republican party

management has in general been on
the side of clean politics. His home is
