We think President Roosevelt
and the coming Republican con-
gress can well afford to stand
pat on the tariff. ANY move that
France. Germany, or any other
country may make will hurt only
their own people, for this coun-
try is the source Of their food
supply and anything that cuts
that short reacts upon them
selves. This country can stand
it if they can.

Pearls In Northern Canada.

In the mighty streams flowing
through Ungava, Canada, a profitable
pearl industry is carried on among
the Indians and Eskimos. Barrenness
and desolation, rocky shores beaten by
an ice sea, long winters and short
inclement summers are the chief char.
acteristics of the northern land.
Signs of human life are scarce there,
but at intervals may be seen rude
huts Of rocks erected by whale and
seal hunters long since departed for
more profitable fields.
In the rushing waters of the
streams which empty into the sea,
pearls are found hidden in the shells
Of the mussels, which are often so
plentiful as to partially block the
river. Unlike the pearls of Ceylon,
they are snowy white. but, neverthe-
less, Of the finest quality, although
certain percentage are irregular in
shape.
Those who visit the shore of the
Uneava streams often wondered why
people before them had collected SO
many mussels shells, bat it devolved
upon q well read ne'er-do-well to dis.
cover that pearls existed in those

SIGNIFICANCE OF CoLORs.

The news that European has been
noticed in Jamaica wearing white as
mourning for a relative lost in the
recent catastrophe recalls the fact
that that color was originally employ
ed in many countries to indicate rev.
erence for the dead. In fact the Gus
tom obtained in Europe as late as the
reign Of Charles VIII. Of France, and
in italy. too, it fingered, though for
women OILY, the men wearing brown.
In Ethiolaa the white soon changed
to gray, and in Egypt to yellow. China,
however, employs it to this day. Other
colors have had their vogue-blue,
for instance, which even now is used
in Turkey, Armenia, and Syria. The
latter signifies the heavenly region;
white stands for purity; gray and
brown typify our Mother Earth, and
BLACK, most repellent Of mourning col

PETER PAN WAS WORTHY.

After the dainty Peter Pans the
Little Red Riding Hoods! So goes the
fashion in hats, or, at least, such is
the decree of Paris. The Peter Pan
fad was too good to last more than
a few months. Nothing quite so be-
coming in headgear has been seen
in several seasons. The style had
the advantage of lending itself to al
most any type of beauty, and it may
be added. LONELINESS. There was a
delightful consistency about the Peter
Pan, too, for it preserved its dignity
pitched at any angle. The Peter Pan
was truly feminine. It was equal to
all emergencies. It defied the ele-
ments at their worst. 1t refused to
look awry, or bedraggled. While it
lasted it gave the most untidy woman
a certain degree Of tidiness, and it
would not be surprising at all to learn
that it was because Of this fact fash
ion decreed its reign should be brief

TESTS OF RAILROAD SPIKES.
The Grip Of Different Woods for Ties
Also Tried.

In circular No. 46 of the forest ser
vice of the Department of Agricult
ure an account is given OF some tests
recently made, the object Of which
was to ascertain the holding qualities
Of different styles of spike in different
kinds Of railway ties. For common
spikes the woods ranked in the fol-
lowing order: White oak. red oak,
loblolly pine, hardy catalpa, common
cataIpa and chestnut. With screw
spikes the order was somewhat
changed, chestnut ranking third in
stead Of sixth. loblolly pine fifth and
common catalpa sixth. White and
red oak Invariably proved superior to
the other woods. Generally speaking,
the holding qualities of the screw
were twice as great as those Of the
common spike in most kinds of wood.
but the difference was most notice
able with chestnut. where the screw
held three times as strongly as the
common spike.
Two other kinds of spike were tried.
One was called "channelled" spike,
and had a vertical groove on the side
away from the rail. 1t showed a
Slightly better grip than the common
spike. but did not compare with the
screw. A fourth style was screw,
and Is favorite of the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad. It differed in appear
ance from the common screw merely
in the way the thread was finished
under the head. Apparently It has a
trifle better hold on the wood. The
advantage Of the channelled spike is
said to be that it distorts the wood
less than the common spike. The 70
port declares that seasoned ties have
a greater holding power than steamed
ties; that a knotty tie has about Is
per cent less holding power for COM
mon spikes than a clear tie. but about
IS per cent greater holding power
for screw spikes, aud that the hold
ing power Of q natural tie and one
steamed for four hours at thirty
pounds pressure is about the same.
Steamdng for four hours at less than
thirty pounds appears to increase the
holding power, while steaming for
more than four hours at twenty
pounds decreases it. Ties steamed
and creosoted or steamed and treat.
ed with the chloride appear to have
less holding power than those simply
steamed.

she rather enjoys spinsterhood:
She does not have one man to love

interest of half a dozen.
She does not have one to pay her
dressmaker, her halter, her shoeman
and the rest; but she may have halt
a score for less serviceable uses-half
a score who send her books, flowers,
tickets, who walk, play golf, drive.

AN ALLOWANCE FOR GIRLS.

AN ALLOWANCE FOR GIRLS.
One of the results of putting a girl
on an allowance is to bring her to
mending her clothes without prompt
ing. Rather than buy new stockings
when tiny holes appear, or a whole
new silk petticoat because the ruffle
is worn, she will quietly find mending
cotton and embroider those holes
while they can be reclaimed, and you
will find her buying a yard or two OF
new silk and making fresh ruffles, and
in many other similar ways saving
the dollars which are much more
easily spent If some one else's income
can be drawn upon for them and not
her own. Another excellent result is
to teach her how to buy. for she buys
with much more care and interest
when she knows the amount she has
to draw upon is not elastic.-Hart-
ford Courant.
