IN AFRICAN WATERS.
Company Formed Thinks There !
Money to Be Made.

A company. with head offices at
Sandefjord. Norway. has been formed
with the object OF exploiting the whal-
ing grounds adjacent to the South Al
ricaH coast.
Briefly. the plan is to use two small
whaling steamers which have been
acquired by the company and max
ing Durham the base of operations, to
scour the coastwise waters and as
soon as q whale Is taken to tow the
body into the harbor. where the work
of extraction will be done. BY this
means 1t is said that saving OF time
is effected and the process OF rcduc-
ton is facilitated.
1t is claimed that these steam
whalers are able to take all kinds OF
whales with comparative immunity
from risk. as the explosive harpoon is
fired directly from the steamer. and
the danger Of pursuing to fish in
small boats is obviated.
There are large numbers OF whales
near this coast, and there seems to be
a fair prospect OF success for smell
company run on the most economical
lines The capital Of the company is
$4,000, and shares to the full amount
have been taken In Natal and Norway.

NECK RUcHES OF FUR.
Charming Fashion Has Made It's Ap-
pearance at Osteno.

The new fur neck ruches that will
appear later in the Paris streets are
already: worn here on a cold day, says
an Ostend correspondent. They are
altogether charming--tisht. straight
bands Of fur that just fit the neck,
and fasten at one side under ribbon
bows with long ends. They are topped
by tulle ruches that usually match the
fur. All the latest sleeves are long.
straight and close fitting. Often they
are cut OK below the elbow, to finish
with o lace mit.en sleeve that points
over the fingers. Except for evening
gowns. the short sleeve. either for
the house or street, has quite vanished.

ton Of 1904 as the heir OF Bryanism.
Emboldened by success, he seeks to
win the ELECTION OF 1908 for his Me
Too as the owner Of the good he had
appropriated and advertised. Bryan
ism is the father Of all that is popular
in Rcoseveltism and not its heir.
The position OF Mr.. Bryan on this
point is founded On the solid rock Of
fact. Mr.. Taft Is not the candidate
Of the Republican party, but of the
Roosevelt organization. AS such, he
is not entitled to support except as he
represents My Policies to which
Roosevelt has only the claim which
DE- sends 10 the man that finds a pock.
etbcok in the road. II. as Mr.. Tart
charges. Organism is impractical. we
answer that the Rooseveltism he
promises to cinch on US is exactly the
same policy. the only difference being
that Bryan has developed the princi-
pies and ia honest enough TO show
their legitimate fruitage into acts.
We all know that Roosevelt is not
willing to carry his theories into prac-
tice. that he excerpts his TRENDS from
the operation Of the statutes he
claims credit for making. and that
he Acknowledges his antitrust law
would paralyze business If generally
and rigidiy enforced. Bryan Is not
capable Of this hypocrisy-Bryan
would not pledge protection to Harri-
man any more than he could claim
credit Tor repudiating q dIbt AFTER
the goods had been delivered. But, in
principle there Is nothing to choose
between the claims advanced by Mr..
Taft on many points to gain votes
and those which have always been
accepted by friend and foe as the
strength and weakness OF Organism.
The real difference is that with Bryan
in the White House We shall have
some ting substantial that can be stud
ieG and understood-with Taft In the
White House pledged to Roosevelt We
shall have only pig in a poke with
a policy TO be shaped by the will Oi

PROPER CARE OF THE PIANO.
Above Al Things Never Stand II Close
to the Wall.

The busting and polishing OF the
piano, whether II be q new and val
liable baby grand or the humble and
more coy upright. should never be
left to the maid. but should be done by
the daughter of the house herself. 1t
should be done with fine cheese
cloth or linen cloth. or. better still. with
an old silk handkerchief. There should
be neither seam nor hem in the dust
cloth. as any inequality or hardness is
apt to scratch the piano varnish.
Cloudy spots are best removed by
pouring a few drops of benzine on the
dust cloth. and then rubbing very
lightly and in the same direction till
they disappear The carved legs should
be busted with a soft brush. as should
also rhe rack and other ornamental
trimmings.
To restore the Wilderness OF the keys
wash lightly and most carefully. SO no
moisture gets into the instrument or
between the keys. with teaspoonful
OF hydro super oxide dissolved In a
pint Of water.
The piano should never stand close
against a wall: if practicable even the
upright should stand fully out In the
room The direct rays OF the sun upon
It. dampness and draughts all should
be carefully avoided. The piano should
be entirely opened once a month and
examined for moths. which are apt to
establish themselves inside the telling
and SO ruin the Instrument.
