Zinc Ore and Free Materials

Missouri contains zinc ore bodies, and so does Chihuahua, Mexico. Zine ores are on the free list and the Jop- linites of Missouri propose to put a duty on Mexican zinc ores. This would give Missouri a practical mon- opoly of zinc mining; and the zinc men of that state could advance prices to a point that would satisfy. their avarice. They are dreaming and some of the preachers in the zinc zone are praying, and the republicans of Mis- souri are demanding duties on zinc ores as their particular slice in the new Payne-Dalzell tariff bill
 The zinc ores of Chihuahua cannot be profitably smelted in Chihuahua be- cause coal is worth about $8 a ton there. Ine Mexican ores must there fore be wheeled to a fuel supply in this country. Missouri is willing to handle them provided her own ores are protected. The Mexican ores would be subject to heavy transporta tion charges, but the Missouri zinc miners want even more than that. The Mexican ores can be laid down in Missouri at from $975 to $12.32 a want a protective duty besides. They simply want monopoly among Ameri. much entitled to a monopoly as many of the other special interests who arc now engaged in framing a new tariff for S5 ,000 900 of consumers.

colleges music is now studied seriously and there is scarcely an educator of any prominence who fails to appre- eiate the value of music in the edu- cational field This is we'll; but after all what is needed in every city is a musical atmosphere and nothing so contributes to such an atmosphere as the annual music festival.
 Music on broad scale is educative as no other art is; but festival means a grand orchestra, many solo artists and a great chorus, and these things, or rather the orchestra and the the soioists are expensive; but in a city of Birmingham size and culture it should not be difficult to find public spirited citizens who will take suffi- cient interest in a festival enterprise to make an annual festival possible.
 The fact is that Birmingham cannot afford to fall behind other cities It's place should be in the lead in every thing uplifting as well as in conner cial and industrial undertakings. And with a reasonable amount of co-opera- ton on the part of our citizens, a per manent festival association on firm financial basis will be formed without delay.

cosTLlEsT RAILROAD BRIDGE.
Digging 100 Feet Through Glacier to
 Reach Foundation.

From the American Review of Reviews. as it flows into Prince William sound. It cuts a rather broad low gap through the coast range, and it is through this gap or opposite sides of the river that two roads, the one from Cordova, the other from Katella, about 40 miles south on Prince William sound. are ascending the valley Near the latter place has been found rich coal deposit but the town has an impossible hafbor; therefore the Katella road is being constructed to may be enabled to use this coal. The Cor dova road will be compelled to cross the tortuous river at three points in the neighborhood of Abercrombie rapids and Bairds canyon. At one point the abut- ment of a bridge is against a shifting glacier. and the engineers have had to dig down 100 feet through ice to get a permanent foundation.
 One of the consulting engineers esti- mates that the cost of this bridge will exceed s2,ooO,OOO dollars. It will, when completed, be the most expensive railroad bridge of its length and character in the world. In Baird's canyon through which the railroad must pass, the wind blows a gale of 50 miles an hour for days at A time In the gorges here the snow slides In from the mountain sides, filling the canyon and packing as hard as ice.

YOUR WATCH NEEDS BREAKFAST

From the New York Herald.
 [ Men would give up the habit of wind ing their watches at bedtime.F said the chief repairer at one of the largest stores in New York If they would ask them selves seriously why they choose that hour. A watch is like its owner in need ing to be fortified in the morning for it's best work. The winding process fortifles it. It is strongest when fresh wound.
 Its owner primes himself with good breakfast and sets out on his daily task proof against the joltings of business. If he neglected that precaution he would soon get on edge, a condition from which he would net be spared by the circum- stance that Just before retiring the night before he had heavy meal. He is bet ter off without the late supper, which is not needful for his natural rest and often impedes it.
 "The watch iu under jolt and strain all day, and it begins that ordeal weakened, half run dcwn It would almost have taken care of itself through the night when 1t rested quietly in one position. In the morning it needs the hearty break fast of good winding to enable it to start out strong"

Austria and BuIearia

Chancellor Won Buelow has recently explained that Germany aequesced in the complete independence of Bulgaria including Eastern Rumelia, and he also stated that Germany was con suited by Austro-Hungary before the annexation of Bosina and Herzegovina and gave it her favor
 Foreign Minister Iswolsky of Russia explained that while these matters should be settled by all the powers that signed the Berlin treaty, yet Rus sia will on no account be drawn into war. Russia's sympathies are with the Slav states in Turkey, but if Europe is not disposed to help them she will not go to war on their account.
 These explanations leave Bulgaria free to settle with. Turkey by the pay ment of a money indemnity, about PiOsOuu3OOu, anu DulSdlld anu INdolCl II Rumelia will both continue to be in- dependent of Turkey. Austria has long governed Bosnia and Herzegovina, and she will simply consider them parts of the empire. Both will stand. Both are accomplished facts. Bull garia is free and independent, and Bosnia and Herzegovina have been an nexed, and that's the end of it. Some diplomatic notes may be exchanged, some talk may take place about tne Berlin treaty, but when it is ended Bulgaria will stand alone and Bosnia and Herzegovina will have become recognized parts of Francis Joseph's domains on-the Adriatic.

ANATOMY OF BEGINNERS.

From Lippincotts.
 Proceeding in southerly direction from the torso, we have the hips, useful for padding, and the legs. The legs hold up the body, and are sometimes used in walking, but when riding in automobiles might be employed to bet ter advantage.
 Attached to the legs are the feet. Some varieties of feet are cold. Some people are born with cold feet, others ac- qulre cold feet, and still others have cold feet thrust upon them.
 The surface of the body Is covered with cuticle, which either hangs in grace fpl loops or is stretched tightly from bone to bone.
 On the face it is known as the complex ion and is used extensively for commer- cial purposes by dermatologists, painters and decorators.
 Between the cuticle and the bones are the muscles, which hold the bones to- gether and prevent them from falling out and littering up the sidewalks as we walk along.
 Packed neatly and yet compactly in- side the body are the heart. the liver and the lungs; also the gall, which in Americans is abnormally large.
 These organs are used occasionally by the people who own them, but their real purpose Is to furnish surgeons living

From the Bohemian.

 'Is that so? You do,a large business, l guess?'
 Immense. The responsibility weighs on me quite heavily, but I've got to shoulder it. No way of getting around that, you know"
 "rhe man ovef there at that elegant desk is one of the officers of the com pany, I suppose?"
 Yes He's the secretary. And those other two men at those fine desks are his assistants. He has wonderful amount of work to do. But remember, he is a first-class man. We pay him big sal ary.'
 The man over there behind that rail ing is another official, is he not?'
 "Yes. That's the treasurer. He's an- other great man. We pay him big money; but we require large bond. Got to do It. We handle too much money to run any risks"

Stop the Noise.

Christmas being great religious fes- tival it should be celebrated in a joyous but decorous fashion," said churchman
 q would not deprive little boys the pleasure of shooting firecrackers early Christmas morning, but there is nothing more disgusting than grown men parad- ing the sidewalks blowing tin horns and acting as rowdies in general. Such scenes do not occur to mar the Christmas fes- tivities in northern cities or in the cities of Europe. Rowdyism on Christmas eve or Christmas morn are peculiar to ecr- tain southern cities. Many persons who regard the feast of the Nativity with proper sentiment, almost dread to see Christmas eve come when it brings din and bad behavior on the part of ill-bred men and drunken rowdies Can the au- thorties not make an extraordinary eff fort and give us a quiet Christmas this year? I know it is next to impossible to break up horn blowing altogether, but let the police do something to minim- ize it"

Music Festivals

Some of the most successful music festivals given in this country were those held in Birmingham under the leadership of Benjamin Guckenberger. From an artistic point of view they ranked with the notable events of the older musical centers. and now that Birmingham has grown to be large city the music festival spirit is being revived and an effort is being made to organize a festival association on a permanent basis. Atlanta and several other Southern cities of less ambition have organized such associations and. beginning with next spring, the fes- tiyal will be inaugurated in every pro gressiye Southern community as an an nual institution.
 While America Is not a musical country in the sense that Germany and other European nations are mus ical, this most popular branch of art is making steady progress and within tie past few years the taste that has been developed fof good music Is sim aly . revelation. sn our schools and

BILLIE BuRkE's IDEA OF DRESS.
Plain Lines on Shoulders and Long
 Graceful Lines.

Billie Burke in Human Life.
 A point that I always insist upon is an unbroken line from the seam on the shoulders to the bosom. I hate to see that line broken or fussed up with bands and buttons or any other sort of trimming. It should be long and fiat and unmarred, for it is the loveliest line in woman's figure. I don't like to see the shoulders fussed up with trimmings. American women like to build the shoulders out. The French women try to make the shoulders look small like that better. Nature intended women to have small shoulders. That is part of natures plan to make women dainty rather than heroic.
 Plain lines on shoulders and upper arms and long graceful sweep of the skirts are essentials according to my ideas. al- ways like to wear them low in the neck except for a very smart gown. That I like to see finished with very high, smooth collar. and a square yoke of trans parent stuff absolutely untrimmed. A girdle I like of the same material as the dress. It leaves the line of height un- broken, and that has to be considered by a woman who Is not tall A skirt, think, requires little trimming, better to have none. The good fit about the hips and tho graceful sweep are the things never to be forgotten.
 Trimmings think, should be few and very carefully chosen. Fine embroidery end bits of good lace are the best.
 The first thing I think of when I order a gown is its appropriateness for the oc- oasions for which I require it. Suit ability or appropriateness should be the first word in selecting 8 costume. Aftes that the color, very important point. 1 think girl or very young woman should wear pale shades. They throw into re- lief the youthful vividness of her color ing. As to the colors themselves she should be governed in her choice by the color of her eyes rather than that of the hair.
 My London dressmaker taught me that. She chose all sorts of shades that I thought person with red hair could not wear. She said .'The hair doesn't much natter and was surprised to find that it is true. A red-haired girl can wear almost any color except a dull shade of brown, kind of biscuit shade which dulls her hair.

Death of W. vandlver.

'rhe death of Mir W. F. Nandiyer of Montgomery removes from Alabama one of the states strongest men said hN- Gov William D. Jelks. "He was force full in a marked degree. Beginning lie with nothing he amassed great fortune estimated at something like one and a half million dollars. He made this vast sum of money In business and not Ill speculation. He was probably the weaithiest man in the capital city His methods were clean. I believe l may say of him that he held no tainted dollar when death came to him. And he was no mere money maker, either. He was public spirited and a patriot. He was will ing to serve the people of Montgomery and his state with a constant loyalty and an unbounded courage and enthusiasm He was a leader among men. Had his health not given way he probably would have taken conspicuous and paramount part in Alabama politics in the after years.
 T knew him quite intimately. He was connected with me in the life insurance company of which l am the president. Because l have known him closely for many years I feel authorized to speak thus of him and in praise of him.
 The city of Montgomery will sorely miss his big brain and heart and the state of Alabama has suffered a great
