TAPPING" STEEL.
The Way Manufacturers Conceal De
 fleets In the Casting.

It might very naturally have been thought that if there was one trade which could be said to be free from trickery and faking 1t was that of steel manufacture. The mere fact that steel Is synonymous with strength would seem, to bear out this view. And yet methods are sometimes adopted fin the making of steel which once again illus trate the saying that there are tricks in every trade.
 At the same time fl must be admit. ted that some of these tricks when car. ried out do not necessarily mean lessening in the soundness and quality Fof the material. For instance, it some times happens that In casting q piece of steel what is known as A blow hole occurs. Often this is not noticed until the steel has been cut and trim med for the required purpose. Tn such case the hole is usually tapped" and a well fitting screw inserted, the head of the latter being filed of so closely to the metal tbat it needs an expert eye to detect any unusual feature This is a trick which makes no differ ence in the strength of the metal and consequently Is quite harmless.
 Sometimes. however, crack ap- pears in a piece of metal which it is impossible to remedy by the usual ex- pedients of hammering and rolling. The careful manufacturer will put the piece on one side and make 8 fresh casting, for if such a piece of metal were used as crank shaft, for in stance, it might split at time of extra strain and so bring untold disaster.
 On the other hand, the manufactur- CT may decide that he cannot afford to throw the faulty casting on one side. and in order to cover the defect it is put in the open air to rust. The wealth CT will most likely be found to have filled the crack by the time the cast ing is required, and no one outside the foundry will have known of it's exist ence until perhaps 1t causes a vessel to become disabled. And, as it is almost impossible to tell afterward how the crack originated, the maker is quite secure from blame.
 One of the most sensational scandals hd'C tSEtdkth thc world for some years past came to light not long ago in connection with the Building of great battieship. After a trial trip she was found to be somewhat leaky. and an examination of some of the plates forming the side of the vessel revealed the startling fact that the rivets had been put in the holes cold and simply calke5.
 When a ships plates are riveted to- gethsr, 1t is usual net only of course to drive the riyets in red hot, but also to calk them over with special compost ton as an extra caution against leak age. In the case mentioned the build CT was working under contract and in order to save time resorted to the trick described The result was that the strain on the plates quickly. ioosened the eaIking, and some of the rivets actually dropped out of the holes.- London Tit-Bits.

The socialist agitators who went into Bisbee to disturb a camp where had been industrial peace and pros perity for twenty-five years have caused a great loss not only to the miners who were ordered out Of the mines when they were perfectly sat isfied with hours of work, wage scale and every other condition, but to the merchants and other business and pro fessional men in Bisbee and Douglas. If the orders of Canon and Rawlings and other Federation leaders had been obeyed industrial prosperity in this part of Arizona would have been killed for an indefinite time; the mines would have been closed and the smelters in Douglas would have been stopped. The attempt to injure Bis uSt anu eNeIDOus ADluiu5 IOU UT u dollars worth of property there was a deliberate one. It was known to the world that the policy of the companies in the Warren district was to main tain the '-open shop" pay the highest wages, work minimum hours and make pleasant conditions for the men in the mines. The men at work in Bisbee, before the arrival of the so- cialist labor agitators. were as desir- ous to continue the "open shop con dition as were the mine owners and year ago voted practically unanimous against the proposition to organize union in the Warren district at an election held to determine that ques- ton.

The Eadle.

According to Washington Irving. the Delaware Indians had superstitious reverence for the eagle, believing that bird watched over them. lowering in the sky far out of sight When pleased with their actions, he sent abundant crops and made them have great sue cess in hunting. but when displeased he would vent his rage in the thunder, which was his voice, and the lightning. which was the flashing of his eye, and strike dead the object of his displeas- ure. They also believed that the feath- CTS of this bird would render the wear CT invisible and invulnerable.

FRENCH PEASANTS.
They Know Nothing About Cooking as
 a Fine Art.

 They Know Nothing About Cooking as
 Fine Art.
 We are accustomed to think of cook ing as being universal art among the French. We seem to have heard vaguely of delicious repasts concocted out of nothing with the help of char coal fire and small pot
 Certainly among the bourgeoisie that miracle seems sometimes to accom- pllsh itself. but in the matter of cook cry as a fine art the peasant belongs to a different world. He knows very lit- tie about it and does not wish to know because it ts regarded as costly and unnecessary luxury. His breakfast consists of thin soup made of beans and water, with perhaps taste of ba- con for davoring. and thin slices of brown bread to give it substance. Po- tatoes and one other dish-frequentiy a coarse sort of paneake-form the monday neal. The supper will be more sustaining. with thin wine or cider as beverage.
 Jacques Bonhomme has a perfect genius for discovering things which are good for food. which yet cost noth- ing, and sometimes he eats things that seem reyolting to us. though l am quite willing to admit that clean or un- clean in the matter of food is largely question of inherited prejudice.
 Normandy is a rich province. and its peasants are better fed than those of other parts of the country. There is tradition that in oiden days meat was so cheap and plentiful that it was used to feed the pigs at the monasteries. They drink great deal of cider, espe- cially in the pays de Caux," and it is said that this is the explanation of their bad teeth. The dress of the peasant women in this part of Nor mandy is extremely picturesque. with the long frilledl cloak and the hood. which sometimes reveals a pretty, pi- quant face.
 As a contrast to the general frugali- ty of the peasants lives there are the wedding feasts and other festivities, when they eat enormously. apparently having the power of laying in a stock against times of comparative fasting. New Orleans Times-Demoerat

THE LAW AND THE VICE PRESIDENT.

Vice President Fairbanks set an un- wholesome example the other day when he permitted the use of his of ficial position to avoid the conse- quences of violating the speed ordi- nance of Philadelphia
 The vice president had permitted himself to finger too long amid the congenial surroundings prepared for him by rich Philadelphians. conse- Eeuently, if he would keep another en- |gagement in another town it behooved him to hustle to catch his train. AZ automobile, belonging to some one of his millionaire friends, was handy; but the laws of Philadelphia stood be- tween him and his desires. Laws, though, it seems, are made for the simple folks to obey. This one, at least, was not to be considered in the same breath with the desires of vice president, especially one bent upon grasping the presidency. There fore, with nod and a smile, the ordi- nance Philadelphia relies upon to pro tect the lives of it's teeming thousands was smashed into smithereens by the vice chief executive of the nation
 A Philadelphia policeman seeing the law thus wheeled under the tires. and not aware of the official personal ity of the lawbreaker, managed to stop the machine, and quickly put the whole party under arrest.
 Would that subsequent results would permit us to say. well done. thou good and faithful servant" But alas for the weakness of the police mind when the high official is in volved. The vice president was too great fish for mere policeman to net. No sooner was it explained to the man with the club and star that his excellency, the vice president, was breaking the law, because 1t stood be- tween him and chance to catch a train. than the policeman begged par don for his interruption, and sent the automobile party along its iaw-break- ing course
 This policeman should be dis charged at once. It is just such base cringing to those of high official po- sition that encourages men in high places to take the whip to those low Ter in station. It builds up official aris- tocracy, and is plainly peryertive of the fundamental ideas Of republican form of government.
 As for the vice president, his con- duct Is inaccessible He is sworn to maintain and uphold the laws of the land; yet, because one of these laws interferes with his personal engage ments. he not only knowingly violates lit, but when checked in the violation uses his high office as a shield against punishment and as a medium permit ting a continued infraction of the law
 Vice President Fairbanks owes obed- fence to the law just as surely as does plain John Smith, and the vice presi-i dents speaking engagement is no more justification of his offense than is John Smiths dinner engagement. The vice president should have been ashamed to take advantage of the po- liceman's weakness, and the next news he receives from Philadelphia should be that the policeman who connived at his law-breaking has been broken himself and deprived of his job. Per haps news of this kind would bring the icicle candidate for the presidency to a. realization of the cruelty and the WrongfuIness q shis act; but 1T the1

A PALACE THAT WAS A BURDEN.

! Up on the fashionable Riverside kriye in big New York there is pal
 ce built by Charles M schwab. Amer pn millionaire.
 Rt cost the vast sum of $3,500, 900.
 land. an entire block. was bought Esom an orphan asylum for sSo0,000. The building cost sl,oOO,o0o. The in terior work cost s1,5oo.ooo. and the decorations, with bronzes, statuary. paintings and marvellous furnishings came to s1,2eo, 900 more
 Now the millionaire wants to sell it. They say he will take $1,00o,000 less than it cost him-anything to get it of his hands.
 He has found the palace too much of burden.
 Long before the palace was complet- ed it had become a tax on the million aires nerves. There was trouble with workmen, there were disputes with the decorators, there were strikes and delays. As the building arose, stone by stone and beam by beam, he began to dislike 1t; but st last it was in- ished, and stood there, magnificent and imposing, one of the greatest show places of the great city.
 Then the millionaire moved in, but he did not like his palace.
 Neither did his wife. She objected to the electric broiler, the patent dish washing machine, and the potato peel CT because it wasted so much of the potato. She said she had never seen such rubbish in her life and she threw half Of it out of the kitchen.
 But the rest of the place was left pretty much as 1t was. and few months ago the millionaire confided to Andrew Carnegie that he was tired of it, and wished he might escape from it's burdens.
 Charlie told me-" Carnegie is quot ed as saying, "he would like to wash his hands of the whole business. He  does not want to keep his new house He s sorry he built it"
 Well. why shouldn't be be sorry7 What did the stupendous pile of stone and iron and marble amount to. except as a vulgar show of money? IL could never have been home, as we think of that word Very few milIionaires have homes, anyway. which shows that being a millionaire. even. has it's drawbacks. Books are DO better for bindings of crushed Ievant. breakfast grows cold on silver dishes, and even Gobelin tapestries will not shield man from the wintry blasts of discon- tent that spring up within his heart. because it takes more than velvet carpet or an oriental room or a pat ent kitchen or even statue Of Phidias himself to make a home and content H,ent aad happiness.
