Among the novel inventions recently
patented is the detachable clothes rack

IMPROVED RUBBER STAMP.
Identifying Card Renders It Easy to
Distinguish Stamp Wanted.

One Of the we'll known faults Of the
rubber stamps employed for stamping
received payment" and similar phrases
constantly in daily use in business houses
is the absence Of any identifying marks
Where ten or twenty of these stamps are
in constant use, each carrying a different
phrase, and constantly of varying sizes.
the onlv clue the user has to determine
the particular stamp he desires to use is
to be guided by the size and his famil-
iarity with it's particular construction.

aud others folded on the lower arm. In
addition, this clothes rack would also
prove useful to the housewife during the
day, as it could be employed for airing
the bed clothes. When not in use 1t can
be quickly detached from the bedstead
and placed in some out-of- the-way cor
ner. to be again clamped in position when
needed. 1t is desirable that the clothes
rack he constructed of the same material
and finished in the same manner as the

WORK OF PARLIAMENT
important Measures Passed
at Session Now Ending.
LAWS TO PROTECT MINORS
0ld-Age Pension Bill Another Added
to Statutes.
BREAK WITH LORDS WIDENS
Rejection of the Licensing Bill
Arguments Bad Feeling Between
the Two Houses.

LONDON. December 1870 far as
practical work is concerned the first ses-
sion of parliament under the premiership
of Herbert Fl. Asquith came to an end
today. The two houses will meet again
Monday but only to receive the king s
assent to bills already passed. after which
they will be prorogued until February Ia
Many minor laws were enacted during
the year, but of the ten important meas
ures foreshadowed in the kings speech
only five found a place in the statute
book These are the old-age pensions
bill, the Irish universities bills, to which
assent was given before adjournment for
the summer vacation. and measures fix
ing eight hours as the time minors shall
work under ground; providing for the
purchase for s115,OOO,OOO Of the London
docks and placing them under a central
authority and a bill for the better pro-
lection of children. This last named bill
establishes police court trial for children.
prohibits juvenile smoking and aims at
preventing minors from visiting saloons.
Measures That Failed.
OF the other measures projected the
licensing bill was rejected by the house
of lords: two education bills were with
drawn because of the failure of the
church party and the non-conformists to
reach compromise; that aimed at the
better housing of the working classes was
put off until the next session. while the
promised measure for Irish land valuation
never saw light and the Irish land pur-
chase bill was dropped.
Among those considered of lesser i'm
portance, the government passed an act
empowering the judges to give habitual
criminals indeterminate sentences. for the
1c~r, 1,0f h.,tN-
its and protecting society, and a bill i'm
posing penalties for attempts to break
up public meetings. The latter is the re-
suit of the suffragette agitation, one OF
the political features of the year. so &C
tive have the women been that members
of the cabinet were unable to secure
hearing at public meetings. and for part
OF the session the galleries of the house
OF commons had to be closed to the pub
lie because Of frequent organized disturb
aQceS.

Breach With the Lords.

The session widened the breach between
the liberals and the house of lords. The
rejection of the licensing bill, for which
the liberals claimed they had received
mandate at the election of 1906. aug
mented the bad feeling resulting last year
from the rejection or mutilation by the
lords of the educational, plural voting and
Scottish land valuation bills
"Mr. Balfour and Lord Lansdowne,"
says the Westminster Gazette, the chief
government organ, appear to have regis
tered vow that the liberals should make
no further progress with reforms in the
church and schools, land and licensing
Hence the house of lords question is for
the liberal party a question Of its own
existence, and the obstacles the house of
lords put in the way of liberal legislation
must be removed

Talk Of Dissolution.

There is still talk of the dissolution of
parliament and an appeal to the country
against the action of the lords, but it is
more likely that Premier Asquith will try
another session. the main feature of which
will be- the budget introducing radical
changes in taxation. These changes in
clude the reform of the income tax, a
high license for saloons and taxation on
land values, which would chiefly affect
brewers, landowners and the weather.
classes, and which the liberal leaders be-
1ieve would prove popular with the masses
One difficulty arises in the fact that the
bonds uniting the various factions of the
liberal party are not so close under Mr.
Asquith as under Henry Campbell-Ban-
herman, and the liberals would not pre-
sent such united front as they did in the
last election.

The Woman Who Let's Man Own His Soul
Is Blessed.

is Blessed.
The woman who understands
the art of letting man alone is a
wise woman, says Anne BITTEN
house in The Designer for De
cember. She treats him as a
rational beng, with equal rights
to work out his own life as she
mas. If she thinks he Is wrong,
she persuades him into another
way with more subtle art than
many kings use in coercing a
prime minister.
If he wishes to walk alone IN the
afternoon or evening, ham mering
out some scheme IN his own mind
or refreshing himself.by solitude,
apart from things that make him
think, she Is acqulescent. And
mind you, she does not &C
qulesce moodlly, with a question,
SPOKEN or unspoken, as to what
she has done that he does not care
for her company. She cheerful
ly mods her perfect understand
ing of his wishes and desires.
She, too, often wants tc be alone,
although she may love this man
more than all the other things in
the world com bined, and he has
always let her be when the mood
was upon her.
To sum il all up 10 a phrase
that Americans understand; she
treats him as though she were
another man. There are moments
for love, emotion and sentiment,
but she understands that there
are thousands of other moments
when two humans, who must be
together most of the time, must
treat each Other as If they were
of the same sex.
This is the lesson a young wife
must learn. 1t Is an art to let a
man alone, for it is achieved only
through perception, intuition,
and careful, hourly study. There
is no royal road to 1t. Some wo-
men are born with more or less
of a temperanental learning to-
ward this attitude, but even these
women must practise with patti
ence and analysis.
And the women who do this
have their reward. They will
catch the best husbands and keep
them throughout decades. Men
mourn their absence from hearth
and home more than they mourn
for any beauty, brllllancy or
cookery. They are the women
who understand,

DIsfranchlsement of Negro.
Says the Huntington Herald:

Says the Huntington Herald:
Hon. Joe Chiffon declared before
the Charleston Democratic convention
yesterday:
"Disfranchise the negro and Bryan
will lose West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois
and Indiana"
1t might be remembered that under
no conditions will Bryan have any
reasonable chance to carry the afore-
mentioned states. They are all heav-
lily Republican and the mailing of
negro Acknowledgement plank in
the platform of the Democratic party
in this state. means just as sure po-
litical suicide for the party in the
other states mentioned as in West
Virginia. 1t was rather surprise
that the Cabell county delegation vot-
ed 80 to for Acknowledgement of
the negro. considering the fact that
in this county there are approximate
ly six hundred colored voters and the
Democratic party leaders in the coun-
ty have been confidently counting on
a large portion OF the colored vote
to elect their county ticket.
Throughout this city the sentiment
among the colored voters against the
Democratic party is now very bitter.
Huntington has great many colored
citizens who are respectable, are
property holders. are law abiding in
every sense and they deeply resenb
the attempted theft of their citizen
ship. 1t is now conceded that Demo-
cracy In this county has received
blow from which it will take many
years to recover and Democratic can
didates for county Offices see their
chances gone glimmerlng.
