MAKING
CABINETS
(special Correspondencel

WASHINGTON, November 14.-The
volunteer Cabinet makers will be busy
sometime now until the 4th of March
arranging a new Cabinet for Mr.. Tart,
but until Mr.. Taft makes up his own
mind, predictions are obviously moth
ing more than guess work. But in spe-
culations on the next cabinet there
are some things which can be stated
as facts. For instance, George B.
Cortelyou will not be Secretary of the
Treasury after the 4th of March; Char
les j. Bonaparte will not be Attorney
General under the Taft administration,
Victor H. Metcalf will not be Secretary
of the Navy beyond that time. Affair
Mr.. Roosevelt retires from the White
House it is equally certain that James
r. Garfield will be retained in the
Cabinet and in his present position as
Secretary of the Interior, while George
Won l.. Meyer will be promoted from
the Post Office to the Treasury Depart
ment where he will succeed Cortelyou.
Secretary Wright and Secretary
Straus may be retained by Mr. Taft II
they desire to proong their official
careers.
Secretary Wright was placed at the
head of the War Department when
Secretary Taft resigned, and largely
because of his intimate knowledge of
the conditions in the Philippines I'm
der the next administration there will
be no lack of knowledge of the Philip
pine condition, because Mr.. Taft him
self is better posted than any other
man in the country not excepting Sec
rotary Wright, and there will not be so
much need of Philippine expert in the
cabinet as there is at the present time.
1t is true that Mr. Taft is a great ad-
mirer of Secretary Wright, but he also
realizes that Mr. Wright is a Democrat,
and there is serious question whether
he would care to carry a Democrat in
his cabinet throughout the four years
of his administration. If Secretary
Wright is re-appointed, it is probable
that he viii hold the Office only a short
time, and then tender his resignation,
so that the place may be given to a
staunch Republican.
Nobody seems to know whether Sec
rotary Straus would like to remain In
the cabinet or not, he has not publicly
expressed himself, and therefore there
is doubt about his future He Is
easily the most competent man who
has ever been at the head of this new
department, ana has done more "a
make II successful than either Of his
predecessors If he cares 10 remain
it. seems 10 be understood he can d,
so,
The remaining member Of the oahine

am of next March viii have soYe'

at the capital, they are so intensely
localized. An American diplomatist
who happened to be in Canton shortly
after the Boxer instruction had been
suppressed found that the Cantonese
had but little knowledge of it. In a
vague way they had learned that there
had been some trouble with the for
eigners in and around Picking, but, as
it was no concern of theirs, had not
given much attention to it.-Boston

Bringing up nine children on an in
come of 81 week is the task of a
couple named Copp, whose home is in
the Devonshire village of Higher Hox-
ham, six miles from Exeter, England.
The couple have had nineteen in all,
six Of whom are dead. OF the thirteen
surviving. the eldest son, aged 10. is
sailor in the Royal Navy, and three
daughters are out at service. Five of
the children attend school at Polti-
more, two miles away
The couple were married twenty-four
years ago. and the husband. who is now
A, is employed as roadman by the
Rural District Council.
Asked how she contrived to bring up
such large family on the 16 shillings
a week which her husband earned. Mrs.
Copp remarked that it would be very
difficult thing even for her to explain.
All she could say was that it had been
very hard struggle. They had to pay
$50 year for their cottage and garden.
They helped matters out bit by grow
ing their own vegetables and keeping
pigs and she economical as much as
possible by making and mending the
children's garments"

is 70 use narrow ribbon that has done
service on summer frock-to ftrm
yoke and deep cuffs. 1t is put on in
alternating rows with fagoting or sew
ed down to a coarse net. This kind Of
arrangement freshens a waist.
If one has any nice lace on hand,
even though of different kinds, then
it might be a good idea to bug a cou-
pie of yards of filet or Brussels net,
combining the two in smart waist for
afternoon or matinee wear.
While the gored skirt is well liked,
the circular and circular gored sort
chow every sign of increasing vogue.
Either style lends itself to the band
trimmings, as well as to the newer but
more attractive panel designs. and there
is every indication that much liberty
will be allowed in this connection
throughout the summer. The tunic,
thus far. is confined &c formal costumes,
but is frequently Suggested or
less vaguely-by the method of garni-
ture. This means that a panel, or a
series of panels. is sometimes crossed,
or at least supplemented, with band.
either of braid or of self material,
curved, and otherwise shaped to outline
a tunic. And again, it means that a
plain skirt may have the bands so ar
ranged that the skirt is, TO all effects,
in two parts.

that young rioman from Boston to see

'She was kind OF laundering girl,

Should the family exist for the home
or the home for the family? Look
around you and see how often the for
mer is the case. The great majority are
engrossed in keeping up appearances
The home as a place to live in and be
happy in is entirely lost sight of.
Many women have so much house and
furniture to care for that they haven't
any time left ovef for their children.
Father wears himself out in the ever
ids ting grind "down town. to pay for a
house and meet the running expenses of
q home entirely too elaborate for the
family's needs and certainly beyond his
income. He speculates CANDLES, some
people call it-cheats, even steals out
right to keep up this home" Mother
grasses her worried frown at the parlor
door when callers are announced, but
puts 1t on again once they have gone.
She, too, is burdening her soul WITH pet
ty deceits and missing the essence of
life in trying to keep up an establish
ment" The children catch the spirit
of the thing and place a higher valua-
ton on clothes than on character.
That's the only way to keep up appear

edge of what constitutes good FORM"
Poverty has its compensations after
all. Not the grinding poverty that
means poor food and insufficient cloth

peace that allows one to live in an I'M
fashionable neighborhood and send

The mistress of such a home is the

An English author assures one that

In Amsterdam there is a factory
where 100000 diamonds are cut annu-
ally. Most of the work is done by
women.

Mrs. Maude Darlington Booth passed at
least one strenuous day. She preached
at a prison in the morning, held an in
formal reception in the midafternoon,
then preached at the house of deten-

Health and Beauty Hints.

For sore throat try a compress of
cold water.
Tincture or arnica is the best appli-
cation for sprains or bruises.
Don't forget that hot and tepid baths
are the best beauty preservers.
To prevent bilious attacks take a
glass of hot water every morning the
first thing.
yaseline rubbed on the skin In mild
cases of erysipelas relieves the burning
and itching.
Cold tea applied several times day
with a soft linen cloth is an excellent
remedy for inflamed eyes.
A good gargle for sore throat is just
enough permanganate Of potash to give
a glass of water a faint rose tint.
If you suffer from too hign color
give up during the period of one month
all other meat than fresh fish and poul-
try. Do not take oatmeal or strong
condiments. Green stuffs and milk may
be INDUCED in freely.
No sick person should be compelled
10 step out of bed without slipping on
soft wool bed shoes, for the chill that
would not affect well person may be
dangerous TO the weak ones. A loose
robe of fiannelette or eiderdown Is also
needed when a patient is able TO sit up
for few minutes, as to have the bed
made
When powder does not adhere nicely
to the face it is because the skin is too
dry. Anoint the surface every night
with a good skin food after having
washed the face in warm water. This
will get the skin in good condition. Be
fore applying the powder to the face 1t
is well to anoint it first with a little
cream, wiping OF the thickest before
the powder is used.

WHEN BRITAIN BECOMES LONDON
Bill to Extend The City's Rights
VIII He lnnosed

Bill to Extend The City's Rights
Will BE Opposed.
England shortly Wit be London and
London England" said King James I.
in alarm 800 years ago, and he forbade
any one to build on new foundations
within two miles of the city. Charing
Cross, which is now the geographical
center of London, then was a hamlet in
the fields.
To-day the same situation is being
repeated, says the Kansas City Star.
The nation is afraid Of being over
Swallowed by the city, which is claim
Ing its rights to expand. One OF the
bills which will be introduced at the
present session of parliament will pro-
vide for the creation of a greater Lon
don. 1t will be backed by the power
and influence of the London county
council and will have as its aim the
placing of the whole metropolis area,
with its population of more than T.
100000 persons, under the contro. Of
one central authority. At present the
county council governs the admlnistra-
tive county OF London, with a popula-
ton of about 100000, and even now
parliament is jealous of Its power. The
opposition to the new bill will come
from those members of parliament who
believe with King James /. that "En-
gland will shortly be London and Lon
don England"
The jurisdiction of the London coun-
ty council covers an area which is
roughly contained within a circle hav-
ing Charing Cross as its center and
radius of about five miles. The metro
politan police area which it is pro-
posed to bring under the control of the
London county council, or some body
which may be constituted to succeed
q, is contained in fifteen-mile circle.
1t comprises the county of London, the
whole of the county of Middlesex and
parts of the counties of Surrey, Kent,
Essex and Hartford.
More than 100000 people have been
added to the population of outer Lon
don IN seven years and the process Is
still going on. All these people are
truly Londoners in their habits, In
their sympathies and in their interests.
yet they are being governed by authori-
ties designed for the administration of
the area in which they lived when it
was occupied by farms and villages.
IL the new bill goes through it will

nearly half that collected now for ma
tional purposes. At present 1t has con-

it has a gross debt of about 100000

demanded by the bill now before parlia-
ment 1t will have an army of at least
100000 men in its pay. for the bin con-
templates not only extending its area,
but giving 1t greater control over the
subordinate authorities within its own
