Checked Attempt at Monopoly.

Trusts were sometimes dealt with
summarily in old England. For In
stance, the records of the Brewers
company show that "on Monday. July
30, 1922, Robert Chichele. the mayor of
London, sent for the masters and ~
of the most worthy of our company to
appear at the Guildhall for selling dear
ale. After much dispute about the
price and quantity of malt wherein
Whityngtone. the late mayor, declared
that the brewers had ridden into the
country and forestalled the malt, to
raise its price, they were convicted in
the penalty of ego ($100), which OBJ
jecting to, the masters were ordered
to be kept in prison in the chamber

LEGISLATORS ousrEo.
New Election Ordered to Be Held In
Cuba

Havana-"By a decree to be issued
soon under specific authority of the
President of the United States, the
series of the Cuban Congress elected
In 1905 will be declared vacant"
This was the announcement made by
Governor Magoon Sunday to twenty
five senator's and members of the
House of Representatives whom he had
invited to attend conference in the
palace.
After reviewing all the facts devel-
oped by the peace commission sent TO
Cuba by President Roosevelt in re-
sponse to President Palma's appeal for
intervention, Governor Magoon called
the attention OF the members to the
fact that the determination as to the
status of the Congress had been re-
served by the peace commission for
consideration at Washington.
He then communicated to them the
final determination of President Roose-
welt that the seats of all senators and
representatives elected in 1905 shall
be considered vacant from October
18th, 1906, the vacancies thereby Gre
ated being filed by an election under
the provisional government in accord
tary Taft.
The first series of senators and rep
resentatives elected in 1904 will be con-
tinued in office If moral peace, tranquil.
lity and public confidence be restored
to such an extent that an election for
the vacated seats may be held during
1907, and there may be at the same
time an election of the successors OF
representatives whose terms expire De-
cembor 81, 1907, without shortening
these terms, thus avoiding the neces,
sity for two elections. The salaries OF
the ousted members will be paid to Oc-
tober 18th, the date fixed by the peace
commission.
General Ruis Rivera, formerly secre-
tary OF the interior, said to the Asso-
ciated Press that he realized the decree
merely carried out an obligation of In
terest to the peace commissioners. but
he greatly deplOred it, believing Its ef-
feet would be disastrous.
He said he was firm in the belief that
the only means OF establishing peace
full conditions consist in the election of
an entirely new Congress, whereas the
proposed election, which would result

eral control, could result in a new in

Uses Of Masks.

Among the North American Indians
the origin OF the use OF masks lay"
says a writer. "in the desire to con-
ceal the emotions. Thus should two
warriors meet in combat. the mask
conceals any expression. whether of
sympathy, fear or other emotion. For
Instance. the knowledge that fear was
depleted on ones face and that his an
tagonist knew 1t would very possibly
insure the defeat of the one whose

NEW YEARS CALLS.
A New Drink to Replace the oid.Time
"AppIe-Jack."

Twenty-Five years ago the custom OF
making New Years calls was de-
lightful one for all concerned, until
some of the boys got more "egg-nog
or apple jack, than they could sue
cessfully carry.
Then the ladies' tried to be charit-
able and the gentlemen tried to be
as chivalrous as ever and stand up at
the same time.
II anyone thinks there has not been
considerable improvement made in the
last quarter of a century in the use
OF alcoohlic beverages, lie. him stop
to consider, among other things, the
fact that the old custom of New Years
calls and the genteel tippling is nearly
obsolete.
The custom OF calling on ones
friends, however, at the beginning of
the new year, is a good habit, and an
other good habit to start at that time
is the use of well-made Postum in
stead of coffee or spirits.

Skim MILK Paint.

The Scientific American, in COM
mending skim milk for paint making,
gives he following directions for max
ing it aud some results from its use.
1t says:
",Stir into a gG,,on of milk about 3
pounds of Portland cement and add
sufficient Venetian red paint powder
to impart good color. Any other
colored paint powder may as well be
used. The milk " i'll hold the paint in
suspension, but the cement being heavy
will sink to the bottom, so that it be-
comes necessary to keep the mixture
well stirred with paddle. Mix only
enough at time for one days use. Six
hours after painting this paint will be
as inmovable and unaffected by water
as month OH paint. Cases are on
record of this sort of paint being in
good condition after twenty years, and
ii has preserved the wood admirably.
The addition of carbolic arid or some
other disinfectant makes it very suit
able for dairy work, as it then has a
cleansing effect.
