much difficulty in reaching the Wool

study law until he was twenty-five
years of age. His defense Of Captain
Baillie, prosecuted for his exposures of
gross abuses at the admiralty. raised
him from an obscure lawyer to a fore

briefs were offered him before he left

Homemade nutter worker.

A very eleetive butter worker, which
will save a great deal OF labor, can be
made by any man at all handy with
tools ont Of some strips Of hard wood,
maple preferred. Fashion the pieces
into a wide. shallow trough, tapering at
one end 10 about -four inches. Set this
trough on three legs, two under the
wide end and one under the narrow
end, strengthened by an extra piece IN
derneath TO ct them into.
Make a roller out Of a piece OF the
wood four inches square and one foot
longer than the trough or body of work
er. A very good length for a medium
sized dairy would be thirty inches for
the body part and four inches for the
roller. Cut with a fine tooth saw one
inch deep on each side of the stick
at a point twelve inches from one end.
This extra twelve inches Is for a han
die and should be dressed down round
and smooth TO about two inches, so
that 1t is easy to grasp by the operator.
The remaining three feet must be made
tapering, the small end chat opposite
the handlel being not more than an
Inch In diameter. Dress the wood
square. then cut off the four corners to
make II octagon In shape.
In the narrow end Of the trough
drive an ordinary iron staple and in
the small end of the roller a short.
heavy cut iron nail-not a wire nail,
which would be likely to bend. The
nall should project about an inch. This
fits into the staple. holding the roller
In place, and completes about as effec-
tive a butter worker as any one need

To Make Your Hair Curl.

A curious recipe for making the hair
curl naturally" is given in an ancient
household notebook and is az follows.
I'm the early spring, when the sap OF
the wild grapevine begins to flow, take
a bottle to the woods and tie Il under
an incision made In the vine. through
which the sap may drip, and leave II
there till it is filed. The same subtle
chemistry which curls the tendrils OF
the vine will act upon the hair and
twist 1t into softer rings than the ubiq-
uitous hot iron or any of the patent
curriers' of the day. The sap should be
allowed TO ferment all it will before II
Is corked. When ready for use 1t should
be rubbed into the hair with a soft
sponge"

Arbitration in the Fisheries nisnu,e

The American government has again
shown It's faith In the principle Of in
ternational arbitration by agreeing with
Great Britain to submit to The Hague Tri-
bunal the vexed Newfoundland fisheries
dispute. Pending the determination by
that tribunal OF the questions at issue,
the modus vivendi under which the fish
cries were conducted last year will be re-
newed for the coming season.
The dispute grows out Of an attempt
on the part of Newfoundland to restrict
by local legislation fishing privileges con-
ferred on American citizens by treaty with
Great Britain. It Is pleaded by the colo
NAL government that its fishing regula-
tons are applicable alike to Newfound-
landers and to Americans. and so are not
discriminatory. They are represented 10
be, in fact analogous 10 game laws The
contention recalls the claims OF State
rights advocates in this country that GER
tain State regulations cannot be super
seeded by treaty with a foreign power
The Newfoundland government is in like
manner upholding its right to frame its
own fisheries regulations. regardless Of
the treaty stipulations agreed TO by the
home government
That matter involving principles OF
such Importance should be referred TO
The Hague Tribunal by the two great
English-speaking nations is a noteworthy
exhibition Of their faith in arbitration as
