Qees1 WilheImina Anxioas Is Preserve
Il Peace Arbitration B Be
IN Ing Urged

The Hague, Aug, ,26.-The distant
Venezuelan war cloud does not ruffle
the placidity Of the Dutch capital in
the least There Is no enthusiasm
over the prospect Of punishing Presi-
dent Castro for the insult suffered by
the Dutch minister. The public APP
pears content to let the government
take whatever measures 1t considers
proper and necessary and displays lit
tie Interest or curiosity In the course
events have taken in the diplomatic
relations between Holland and Vene-
szuela.
Q Prepare for War.
( Some show Of interest was made d.
rectly after a recent meeting of the
cabinet, at which the entire situation
was discussed, but since then the
wheels Of the government have moved
slowly, the minister Of foreign af-
fairs awaiting the return Of M. de
Reus, the Netherlands minister.resi-
dent in Caracas, who was dismissed
by the Venezuelan president. M. de-
Reus is expected to arrive here to.
day.
The officials Of the foreign Office.
profess to believe that there is yet q
chance of settling the trouble between
the two nations by diplomacy, but
preparations which are now being
made by the ministry Of marine dis
credits such optimism. Nothing less
than the speedy withdrawal of Presi-
dent Castro's DEGREES which have been
the means of crippling trade in the ISL
and of Caracas and something in the
nature of an apology will be satisfac-
tory to Holland. -
National Honor Insulted.
There are few. however, who be-
lieve that President Castro will con-
sent to these TERMS. Arbitration is be-
ing urged by some of the newspapers.
which put forward the argument that
Holland, being the home of the worlds
peace conferences and its capital the
site of the peace palace, should be the
last country to embark in warfare.
The government would be glad If
such solution as that offered by ar
bitration were possible. Queen Will
helmina particularly is anxious to pre-
serve peace, but apart from the fact
that Castro laughs at the decisions of
arbitration courts, the cabinet regards
the summary dismissal of its minister
as an insult to the national honor
which is outside the class of cases for
which arbitration is suitable.

DOG INTELLIGENCE.

The Clever "MaIamutes" That Carry
the Mails In Alaska.
The Eskimo begins to train his dog
for sledge work before it is month
old. One of the most interesting fea-
lures of Eskimo villages are puppies
tied to the pole Of tent. They pull
on the rope with all their puppy
strength in the effort to break away
and join in the frolics of their elders.
Not until dog bred for mail service
is one year old is it put in training for
the trail. 1t begins by running ten
miles with the team; then it is dropped
out. Next day it runs the same dis
lance. Gradually the distance is in
creased until it reaches its fifteenth
month of life, when it becomes part Of
the regular service. The life Of mail
dog is from three to four years. No
greater punishment can be inflicted
than to lay dog off from service.
When unruiy they are often threat
ened with lay-off, and with almost
human intelligence they seem to I'M
derstand the disgrace it implies in the
eyes of their fellow workers on the

COSTLY MATTRESSES.
Tho Kind That Are Used on the Big
Plate Glass Wagons.


Probably about as costly a sort Of
mattress as any is one that is made
not to sleep on at all, but to spread
on the long, broad table or platform of
the wagons built for carrying plate
glass.
These mattresses, which are made Of
curled hair, are very thin, scarcely
thicker than a comfortable, and must
be made with the greatest care to in
sure perfect uniformity of thickness.
A lump anywhere would be likely to
break the plate Of glass resting upon
it, and there would be still greater
danger if the weight of two plates Of
glass was rested on the lump at once.
A mattress for plate glass wagon
costs, according to size, from $50 to
SIS. In use the corners of smaller
plates carried on it cut into the tick
ing covering. and sooner or later it has
to be made over. Simply to make over
such a mattress costs from $40 to $50.
On the table topped and mattress
covered glass wagons the biggest
plates are carried with confidence and
safety. The table is built to remain
absolutely rigid, and the thin but. uni
form mattress protects the plate from
jar.
Before plate glass store fronts had
come into common use. when the han
ding Of big plate was counted as
good deal more Of job than it isanow,
they used to carry a great pane Of
of five, soI,
put on the wagon with the glass in it.
At its destination this frame or sup
port was worked carefully across the
sidewalk to the store front, where the
glass was dislodged from it to be set,
and altogether the setting of great
plate of glass was then quite an I'M
dertaking.
a common daily occurrence and with
men skilled in the handling of them,
they simply carry big plate out and
lay it on their mattress covered table
topped wagon and carry it to where
it is to go and there slide it off, to rest
it for moment on blocks on the side
walk, and then they pick it up and
carry it to the window front.
| Then they run under the lower edge
of the glass lifting straps, by which
men standing inside the window as
well as men standing outside can lift
on it when the glass is put into place
| in the window frame. There again it
| is raised on blocks until the straps can
| be withdrawn, and then the blocks are
taken out and the glass secured in
| place. all this being done with great
care, but still with comparative ease
and quickness and with certainty, and
in these times great panes Of glass
are thus moved and set on all but the
windiest days.-Cleveland Plain Dealer
