She Was Deliberate.

1t is said that Dinah Mulock Craik
the famous author Of John Halifax,
Gentleman" made a habit Of leaving
at her bank the manuscript Of each Of
her stories as soon as 1t was completed
1t would remain there perhaps six
months, and then she would call for II
and see how the story affected her
after that lapse Of time. If 1t pleased
her, the manuscript was sent to the
publisher. Otherwise it was rewritten
or thrown away.

Only animals with long and dropping
ears are able to wag them. A rabbit,
for instance, can do what it likes with
its ear, dropping one or both and lay

dashing through thick cover. Hares
are still more brisk in ear movements.
But short cared beasts, like weasels

PRINT PAPER FROM CORN STALKS
Successful Tests Reported by the Bureau
Of Plant Industry.

Washington Dee. le.--That material
has been discovered by which print paper
can be produced in competition with
wood pulp was the purport OF qualified
report that DR. b. T. Galloway of the
bureau OF plant industry Of the depart
ment Of agriculture made TO the House
committee on agriculture yesterday when
he appeared before It to account for the
disposition Of the appropriation given
to the department for experiments along
this line Dr. Galloway said that labor.
atory tests seemed 20 warrant the con,
clusion that print paper could be manu-
featured from corn stalks in competition
with wood pulp, adding that CONNER
cial test would soon be made by mill
in Maine. He explained that If the ven.
ture proved success 1t would be due
to the production of a by-product, a
coarse quality Of molasses such as is inn
ported and is used in large degree, es.
peeially in the South, to feed cattle and
mules. The laboratory tests indicated,
he reported. that.a ton Of corn stalks
would yield S3 worth Of moIasses.

Schwab's Note Before Tariff
Committee
STEEL MAN'SEXPLA
He Wrote II When Young and Was al
optimist--I Was from the View
point Of Manufacturers De-
partment.

Washington, Dec. l6.--Detailed infor-
nation regarding the cost Of making
steel was given the House ways and
means committee yesterday by Charles
NJ. schwab of New York.
Chairman Payne of the committee be-
gan cross fire OF questions by asking
Mr.. Schwab about letter which had
been referred to by previous witness.
This letter was written by Mr.. schwab
to Henry @. Frick on May l6, 1899, and
stated that rails were being made for
less than sl2 ton, or nearly " less
than the cost in England. Mr. Schwab
predicted that the Carnegie Steel com
pany Of which he was then president
would be able TO increase its net earn
ings to sS,600,0O0 month, and said il
could sell all of its surplus production
abroad at profit nearly equal TO the
profit on domestic sales.
Mr.. Schwab said that the Bethlehem
Steel company, of which he il president.
is not affiliated with the United States
Steel Corporation, but he said that he
was a stakeholder In the latter corpora
ton. The steel magnate said that the
letter in question had been prepared at
Mr.. Frick's solicitation and was written
in an optimistic vein.
Mr.. Schwab gave a detailed statement
of the cost Of making pig iron and steel
rails, which indicated that the present
cost Of manufacturing pig iron is sl4 a
ton, as compared with S. ton in 1920,
while the cost of steel rails to-day Is
$3.50 ton, as compared with sl2 q
ton nine years ago.
Before Mr.. Schwab took the stand.
Walter Wood of Philadelphia. manu-.
facturer Of cast iron pipe, asked that the
difference in the duty on cast iron pipe
and pig iron be reduced 80, and in add.
ton advocated reduction OF the duty
on the pipe as much as the duty on pig
iron is reduced. The tariff on iron pipe
is now So higher than on pig iron. The
witness said he competed with the
trust"

Almost Carries Rules Reform
Resolution

Plan for committee--By Point Of Order
It Was Defeated--very Narrow
Majority However; the Vote
Stands i49 to 1856.
HE GETS BEFORE THAT BODY

Washington, Dec. l6s-The House in
surgents wont out yesterday In a prelim,
mary skirmish over the revision OF the
rules Of that body.
Representative Gardner of Massachu-
sets moved that the committee on for.
eign affairs be discharged from further
consideration Of his resolution calling on
the state department to secure informa.
ton concerning proposed changes in the
rules Of the British House OF Commons.
On yea and nay vote, Mr.. Gardeners
motion was adopted, l48 to 1874, the Dem
ocrats voting with the Republican insu-
gents.
Then Mr.. Gardner moved an amend
ment 10 the resolution, providing for the
appointment of a committee OF five Re
publieans and three Democrats to take
under consideration the revision OF the
House rules and to report not later than
Feb. i, 1909.
Representative Dalzell made a point
Of order against the amendment, and was
sustained by Speaker Cannon. Repre-
sentative Gardner took an appeal from
the chair, and another yea and nay vote
was begun.
The move Of Gardner was shrewd
trick, which took Speaker Cannon and
the Republican leaders completely by
surprise. The old guard, however, raj
lied and began a desperate fight. The
passage Of the Gardner resolution would
have put the question Of the revision of
the rules squsrely before the House, and
would have presaged the defeat OF the
speaker on this issue.
On roll call the motion of Representa-.
tive Payne to table the motion Of Repre-
sentative Gardner appealing from the de-
cision Of the chair, was adopted, lao to
1856. All the Massachusetts, delegation
voting supported the machine, except
Representatives Gardner and Peters.
Mr. Gardner then addressed the House.
He began an attack on the rules, on the
committee ON rules. when a point Of or
der by Representative Dalzell shut him
OFF Gardncr's fight had failed when he
was within sight Of victory.
The outcome showed the strength OF
the speaker. Townsend and Hepburn,
two of the leading insurgents against the
rules, evaded the issue and refused to
support Gardner,
