The Silver Thread.

A matron in Harlem was calling
upon another matron in Harlem. Nei-
Their was young, but one looked
more so.
REALLY, my DEAR" said the one that
looked more so, you ought to have
your hair treated. It's becoming quite
gray in spots. See what difference
it has made with me. You would look
much ounger-really.'
'But 1 don't care to look much
younger If 7 must dye my hair to do
So" was the reply. 81 prefer to be
natural. If the Lord sends me gray
hair there's good reason, and I'm sat

"But think of your children, my
dear. They're grown up now"
What have they got to do with it?"
why, don't you see? The younger
you look the younger 1t makes them

(, A Spanish War Criticism.

When the Spanish war came upon
us Commodore Dewey was at Hong
kong. The navy department had sent
him no preliminary orders. He didn't
know anything about the ultimate pol
icy or what the ultimate plan of cam
paign would be. The navy department
didn't itself know. Dewey should
have moved two or three days sooner
than he did, and two or three days
sometimes are vital. But our Wash
ington officials were only aroused to
the necessity of giving Admiral Dewey
An-order by a cablegram from Dewey
informing them that the British gov
ernor of Hongkong insisted that our
fleet must leave there We were so
dazed by the immediate exigencies of
war that the English government had
to prod us in the ribs to wake us up.
Then our Washington authorities is
sued an order and not till then. They
told Dewey to proceed to the Philip
pine Islands and capture or destroy
the Spanish fleet. In other words,
they gave him the stereotyped war or

code, which, literally translated, read:

WASHINGTON LETTER.

President Taft has expressed himself,
recently, as not SO well pleased with the
attitude of the Senate toward the tariff
bill. The members of the Finance Com.
mittee have consulted the President from
time to time, regarding certain features
of their substitute, and for the provisions
relating to imports from the Philippines,
the proposed customs court and the maxi.
mum, minimum clause, they have won
his unqualified approval. With regard
to specitice rates, however, Mr.. Taft has
not been consulted and the Senate leaders
have contented themselves with general
assurances to the President, Of their sim
certify of purpose so 10 frame the schedules
as to command his approval. 1t is not at
all clear whether President Taft,s desire
to commend all that was CONNIE ndable
has been misconstrued, or whether the
erroneous impression has been gained
that his satisfaction with certain features
of the measure would Offset his disan.

The President is keenly alive 10 the i'm.
portance of expeditions work by the two
houses of Congress; he realizes to the full
the embarrassment to the. business in.
terests of the country which is tie in
evitable concoulitant of uncertainty re.
garding the tariff rates; but he is no less
appreciative of the fact that the present
tariff revision will, or should, be of such a
character as 10 forestall all reasonable
agitation for another readjustment of the
schedules for decade or longer. Under
these circumstances he places the interests
OF the consumer for that period against
the immediate necessities of the business

at the conclusion that, for purely
economic reasons, it is better to proloup
the present situation even by veto. if
that be necessary, than to have write n
on the statutes an inequitable tariff act.

Irvine in tying feeces was SO generally
successful that it proved beyond doubt
that farmers are anxious to cooperate
in preparing their wool for market Ia
the best manner possible. Although
the use of sisal or binder Irvine has
been discontinued, too much of the
wool last year was tied with thick
Irvine made of old bagging, which is
almost as bad as sisal Irvine, as it
rubs off on the wool and will not take
the dye in manufacture. Tie your
wool with a hard, smooth Irvine that
will not rub off. Do not use sisal or
heavy soft twine. Keep all tags or
foreign matter out of the f1eeces. The
past year domestic fleece woods were
much more popular among manufac-
turers because no sisal Irvine was used
but they still object to heavy, soft
Irvine. Fleece woods of the Middle
States are the best and strongest
woods in the world and this industry
can be preserved and advanced by
more careful preparation for market.
