Water Defies Sword Cut,

Near Grenoblc, France. there Is a
mandatory which makes use of water
drawn from reservoir some 1,600
feet up on a mountain. The water
comes down by vertical pipe of this
length and somewhat less than an
inch in diameter. Sometimes the jet
is allowed to escape in an upward di-
rection, and it spurts with such force
into the air owing to the velocity i'm
parted to it by its previous fall, that Il
strong man hacking at it with a sword
cannot drive the weapon through it.
The sword is checked as effectually as
If it had struck brick wall Relative
~ speaking. the speed Mt which the
water moves Is not very great, about
100 yards Il second or about ne-tenth
OF the speed of cannon ball.

How to Clean Tan Leather.

The knowledge that tan leather Is
hard to clean at home keeps great
many people from wearing 1t as much
as they would like. Unless one is very
careful the efforts of renovating make
1t become dark and streaked in places.
Heavy tan gloves, which are almost
every ones greatest comfort, can be
kept in good condition by taking a
damp rag and rubbing it over the sur
face. This removes the dirt and re-
stores the original color. Yellow shoes
which no girl considers herself In the
latest style without, can be cleaned by
putting few drops Of turpentlne on a
wooden rag and rubbing them evenly
all over. When dry, polish with soft
brush, and they will look like new.

VERDI AND THRIFTY WAYS.

Great Composer Worried Over Small
 Hole in His EE3est Coat"
 Baron Edmondo Mayor des Ranches. Ambassador from Italy, told a new Verdi story at dinner party given in Washington recently. The great macs tro had just produced his opera Aida" in Paris for the first time and the en- tire city was wild with enthusiasm. The President of France made it known that at the second performance the rosette of the Legion of Honor would be conferred on the illustrious composer, a great fete was gotten Up to honor the event. The President made the presentation and Verdi seemed overcome with emotion. Indeed he fumbled with the rosette so long that one of the attendants of the President arose and taking his penknife, made a neat slit in the coat and placed the button firmly in place After the opera a grand banquet was given and every one was concerned to see that the maestro looked unhappy He would lapse into fits of musing' even during the most enthusiastic speeches and would sigh and look doleful indeed. Finally an old friend got near him and asked solicitously what was troubling him Verdi unused a long time and then explained sadly: | do not see that you can do anything to help me, and, indeed, can not see how I can help myself 1 am just wondering what my wifeNwill say to me when she sees this great hole in my best coat!"

 General Drain was in Milwaukee yesterday at the invitation of Com pany E. 1st Regiment. W. N. G.. to deliver an address at It's banquet at the St. Charles Hotel.
 T was much impressed with the possibilities of the heavier than afr machines during the Wright tests" he said in an interview last night The dirigible balloons have been developed to their capacity, I think, and while they might ke used for observation purposes, they are more conspicuous and not so manageable as will be the aeroplanes when they have been Iur' ther developed.
 T do not think that the aeroplanes ever will be of value for the purpose of dropping explosives, for the height at which they must fly to escape oe. struction even from rifle fire would make the dropping of bombs altogeth- CT inaccurate
 General Drain is president of the National Militia Board.

To Use Saw AlllI Waste.

WIllldmbpOTL sun.
 To insure a pulp wood supply to meet adequately the future needs of the country seems one of the most inn- portant of the emany forest problems of the United States. Statistics col lected by Government experts, how ever, show that there are possibili- ties in the field of invention for the relief of the drain on the country's re- maining pulp wood forests by devis- ing means of utilizing saw mill waste. It Is estimated that there are 4.500,- 900 cords of slabs destroyed in refuse burners of the lumber mills of the country each year. The wood used for pulp last year amounted to approxi. mately 100000 cords. about a quar- ter of which had to be imported The mill waste estimate is based on a re- cent canvass of some of the larger mills of the country by the United States forest service.

SECRETARY OF. STATE SPEAKS IN

Discusses the Republican Dissertations That Have Rent His Party in

That Have Rent His Party in
 the stnte, and Ridicnies
 Mir. Bryan.
 Cincinnati. Oct. 2S.-Secretary of State Root spoke to several thousand persons at Music Hall here tonight. The meeting was held under the au- spices of the Citizens Taft Club. In a parade which preceded The meet ing, about 5000 men participated, tn- cluding members of the Citizens Taft Club, Cincinnati Blaine Club and oth- CTS.
 Secretary Root spoke on national is- sues only. He first took up the al- legged dissensions in Ohio. the Foraker matter being the first, the negro ques- tion second, and the liquor question. a purely local issue, third. He urged that if these dissensions existed, as 1t was reported they did. they should be laid aside for the greater duty of American citizenship. Either one of the things which affected these three clements we're as but drops of water In the greater issues which made up the campaign.
 The climax of the speech was a re- view of the public career of Judge Taft and this was received with the greatest enthusiasm by the audience. He declared that Taft was better pre- pared than any other man to succeed to the Presidency and carry out the politicies of Mckinley and RooSevelt. As an executor and as an administra- tor, he declared that Taft was without a peer.
 Great bits of sarcasm were hurled at the Bryan theories as he took them up in turn.
 He asked, Shall we elect inefficient men to our Legislatures and depend upon the initiative and referendum
 Shall we guarantee our bank de- posits by a tax upon the banker, the depositor and the borrower rather than prosecute the dishonest banker?
 Shall we close our factories and bankrupt our merchants by reducing the tariff to get rid of the trusts or shall we prosecute them and make them be good?
 Shall we place in the hands of an executive officer in Washington the sole destiny of any part of the tariff to be lowered or raised as he de- sires7
 Shall we elect to office man of experience or a man of theories2
