methods of construction; 1t also reeom- mends that municipalities pass ordinances involving the adoption of an improved building code along the lines of the build ing code recommended by the national board of fire underwriters.
 The need for such ordinances was tragi- cally shown in the recent collapse Of concrete garage while in course of con- struetlon at Mineola, l.. l. Five men were killed and eight badly Injured. It was learned after the collapse that some Of the men mixing the concrete refused to go on saving that the proportion of cement mixed with the gravel and 1oam was not enough to solidify it. Workmen said that the work was being rushed with such haste that sufficient time was not allowed for the concrete to harden.
 People are beginning to ask. When is this sort of thing going 10 stop? Since the collapse of the Darlington hotel, in March 1904 the exceedingly treacherous nature or concrete, unless mixed in strict aecord- anee with the formulas of standard en- gineering has been shown in similar col lapses all over the country The situation is becoming so serious, especially in view of the vast amount of money being put into new buildings. that the International Congress of Architects, at a recent meet ing in London, adopted the following reso- lutions:
 That an inquiry, into the cases of failure of reinforced concrete and their causes would be most desirable.
 That where reinforced concrete is in tended to be fire-resisting the greatest possible care must be taken as to the na ture of the aggregate and it's size and also as to the protection of the steel.

Germany Guards interests.

Germany is determined not to be out done by the United States in the matter of sending agef ts abroad to investigate and report on better markets for cotton goods. Since the two American agents appointed recently by the department of commerce and labor to go abroad and study foreign markets, left this country, a report has been received indicating that Germany is anxious to extend her trade with the east, and that henceforth she will give considerable attention to con ditions in China and Japan and to the causes which are keeping her cottons from eastern markets. She finds 1t hard to get ahead of England. the United States, Japan and India, in supplying the Orient with shirtings sheetnss and drills. German experts who have been In the east advise their countrymen to give at tention to certain classes of cotton piece goods They point to the remarkable sue cess of two Italian firms which have en- ten ed the easter field with satins and prints. Both companies have travelling agents in all parts of China who. pro- vided with samples, are successfully sell ing their goods.
 The English are making extra efforts in the east particularly in China, urged thereto either by Italy's or Japans suc- cess. The Germans have gathered sam ples of all textile goods going into the east, and are exhibiting them in the rooms of the German governments department of the interior, where for several weeks they are to be on exhibition, after which they will be oaned to the boards of trade in textile centers. similar plan is now being carried on in the United States. Major Carson, the chief of the bureau of manufacturers having sent to the boards of trade In southern states sam ples of cotton goods used by the Chi nese.
 Uses Sea Island Seed.
 What is known as the West India com read before them a paper on "The pres ent position and prospects of the Sea Is- land cotton industry in the West Indies."
 It was said that in 1903 a man from that country, while on visit to the United States, obtained $2500 worth of cot ton seed from one of the best estates in the Sea Islands, and thus was laid the foundation of an important new industry in the West Indies. The total value of the industry to date is nearly one million dollars. Excellent prices are being ob- tained for this cotton reaching forty cents per pound.
 A fair amount of land was reported to be available nsome of the islands at be available in some of the islands at few instances 1t might be rented from experts that the West Indies might pro- duce the best qualities of Sea Island cot ton required outside the United States.

Colors That Cure Consumption.

From the Chicago Journal.
 The value of light as an agent in curing diseases is becoming increasingly recog- nized The latest development of the idea is the assertion of medical man that the clothes worn by consumptives should be of color which will allow the light to penetrate the body. White materials, it is found, are the best for this purpose, and consumptives are consequently ad- vised to clothe themselves in snowy raj ment, either of linen. velvet, cotton or cloth silk, however, Is barred

THE FEUDsHAE.

4 Ballad Of the DsbGtGbIs Land, Circulated 1850.
From the London Spectator
Oh! Jared forth from nv fathers house
Poor, naked, and alone,
A tattered cloak and a rusty sword
Were all called my own.
The wind that whistled Ger the heath
II cut me TO the bone:
But turned my back on the kindly roofs,
Ny face 70 the open moor,
And my last farewell was the rudy light
That streamed from my fathers door.
Oh! came back TO my fathers house
With spears on either hand
My charger blazed with gold and gems
From shoe 10 chanfron band
My cloak lined with the errnine fur
And Jewels decked my brands
But my welcome home was rooness hall
With shattered shield on the floor
And fire-narked walls that echoed back
The creak Of the broken door.
So gave my spears their quittance and fee
And sat me down with the gold
That was paid in Bryant and Spanialand
For the blood and the blade l sold
To rebuild again my fathers house
AS IL was in the days Of old:
But babe the nlasons leave their work
And the jOiners all go free
Or ever the house was finished and done,
And the things IL lacked were three.
CNIow twas Harry O. Hartsbane burst the door
And let the reivers in,
Twas Hugh OF Hardriding couched the spear
That slew the last OF my kin,
And Watty OF Wanhope fired the hall
God burn his soul for the SIND
But the three things lacking are all made good
For a sign TO the world and me
That the price Of my fathers blood is paid,
And the men who paid were three.
There was never cap TO the gable-end,
There was never ring 20 the door,
And within the hall lay broken shield
On the broken beams Of the floor:
But swore 20 finish the work myself
And finished IL as I swore,
For Wattys skull is my roof-ridge cap,
And the hand OF young Hartsbane
Is nailed 10 the door. and we buried Hugh
Where my fathers shield had lain.
