Philippine Tarin Message.

Washington.-The President Thurs
day sent to Congress \ special mes
sage in relation to the Philippine tar
IN. The message transmits recon-
mendations by the secretary of war
for a revision Of the Philippine tariff
SO as to permit as much customs reve-
nue. as possible for the islands. and at
the same time extend to the islands
the principle of a protective tariff for
its industries.
Generally speaking. the bill submit
ted by the President makes a slight
increase in the rates OF duty now pro-
vided in the Philippine tariff. but its
trainers say Its tendency is to insure
as far as practicable the benefit OF the
Philippine market for American man
lures and products.
The bill makes some additions to
the free list. There will be an in
crease in internal revenue duties by
which 1t is hoped to make up the loss
which the Philippine islands will sus-
tain by the operation OF the free trade
provisions in the pending Payne tariff
bill.

THE ABANDONED FARM.

The abandoned farm Is not such a myth as some writers would have us believe It is not only a reality but is becoming more and more numerous every year. The statistics between 1880 and 1900 show a large decrease in the number of farms and a de- preciation of farm values to the ex- tent of S16S, 100000. Governor Hughes commission of immigration has just made its report, and declares that the desertion from New York farms Tor the last twenty years has been at the rate of twenty thousand annually and if quotes for instructive comparison an authority of the department of ag- riculture to the effect that the forty eight square miles of the island of Jersey support a population of sixty thousand. Were the arable land of New York as densely populated, it would contain s2,ooO,0OO, or more than a third of all the number now in the whole country.
 This Is 8 great showing, and leads to thought of a possible total in all the old states which runs into the millions. This seems to be an age when the people who have but one life to live decline to live 1t in the woods. If the same number of city folks were tired of excitement and were rushing for the woods a healthy balance would be established, but they are not, and do not desire farms to work on, but to rusticate on for a few weeks. But eventually the people will have to go back to the land.

HAT AND BONNET TRIMMING.

It will be some time before 1t can be decided what constitutes an evil dence of refinement in the trimmings of bonnets and hats for the ladies.
 The floral and garden truck adorn- ment of the large hats of the present season are made all manner of fun of, and the adornment of headgear with the wings and stuffed skins of birds is declared in its suggestion of cruelty and death to be as unciviliZed as the scalps the American aborigines used to wear at their belts as tro- phies of honor. And the fashion is not likely to hold much longer to the realm of bird life, for an Illinois me- tallic company has started the enter prise of metallizing horned toads for this purpose after first chloroforming them. The experiment is being made with two thousand and if it is suc- cessful will probably be extended to many thousands, perhaps to millions.
 The claim that dead birds and dead lizards are not in good taste as orna- ments does not require extended ar gument in it's support; but the femi- nine world is hard put to it, to keep tr the artistic skill of our handmaidens instead of to the products of nature for display and ornamentatlOn.

New EnaIand's Needs.

"Commenting on the Maine excur- sion of Boston's business leaders. Pres ident Bernard J. Rothwell of the Bos- ton Chamber of Commerce says; The journey gave all chance to see the trend of industry in New England, ana we came to the conclusion that what was needed in New England industries was the highest type of skill. If New England would retain her industrisl prestige, she must manufacture the finest grades of goods. She must have skilled workmen and the finest design ers.' Wise words are these. and It IS for the reason cited that the establish ment of industrial schools of the most efficient kind Is such an urgent duty In the industrial cities of New Eng glano. Springfield Union.
 But there is one important thing that New England needs. first of all, and that is a combination and develop ment of her transportation facilities, and it needs intelligence on the part Of Boston men to enable them to abandon the stupid hostility to a railroad mer- ger that would benefit Boston more than anything that ever happened There Is no use in talking about help ing the industries of New England SC long as the president of the Boston Chamber of Commerce goes up to the statehouse on Beacon Hill and opposes the only possible effective plan for providing Massachusetts and the three states to the north of her with the railway facilities they require.-Hart- ford Times.

CIRCULATION
A WAY OUT.

The fight of New England for free hides is an antitrust fight and ought to succeed.
 It means cheaper shoes for the peo- ple and a weakening of trust plans for the future.
 Ex-Governor Douglas of Massachu- setts says: "The Beef Packers trust controls directly about 55 per cent. of the hides of this country. Indirectly, it is reasonably certain that 1t con- trols a large part of the 45 per cent. of hides which it does not take off cattle. To make its monopoly of the raw meterial of leather still more complete. 1t has recently gone into the hids-buying business. Thus, the independent tanner is left with only a very restricted supply of raw ma terial. If he could buy foreign hides without the payment of the 15 per cent. duty he would have some chance to compete with the packer tanners and the price of leather would be more likely to be reasonable. There is, however, no certainty of fair and req sonable prices for leather unless both hides and leather are put on the free list. The Beef Packers monopoly has already gone so far that 1t is only a question of a very short time when free hides, without free leather, would be of little or no avail to shoe manu- facturers and other users of leather" {"
 New Englanders of influence should storm congress with letters demanding this change in the interest of the peo- pie.

AN ANrI-rREAT SALOON.

The prohibition agitation and the great addition of dry territory has agitated the liauor- dealing world as nothing has done before in it's his- tory. There is an endeavor on the part of the liquor interest to stay public sentiment and action by the es- tablishment of the model saloon and the agitation for it among the dealers Is constant and persistent; and now there comes from the saloon men of Iowa a demand for the anti-treat sa- loon. upon the presumption that much excessive drinking and no little of the disorder and disturbance comes from the treating habit among the patrons This movement has been put in prac- tical operation at Des Moines by the owner of fifteen saloons. The bar tenders are to be called clerks and all the soft drinks are to be sold. A western paper says:
 "The experiment ought to be inter esting Iowa has had her share oi prohibition which leaks. After the statewide prohtbitory law had been passed fifteen years ago, the legisla- tors evolved the idea of 'mulct' law which allowed county option and put the prohibitory law out of business Because there were some flaws in the constitutionality of the stricter meas ure, the substitute has been in force ever since"

FOR HOSPITAL USE.

Some young girls not long ago de- vised a pleasant and useful way of using their old magazines. They lived in a family where there were many weekly and monthly magazines, too many to attempt to save the greater part of them, which were always sent to hospitals and homes after they were read. These girls took the magazines apart and made them up into little pamphlets, one story or article in each pamphlet. They fastened them to- gether, sometimes with the metal fas- teners that come to hold papers fo- gether, sometimes with bright colored cord or ribbon. The leaves may also be sewed or pasted together Into little books. They proved most acceptable. Oftentimes convalescents are too weak or i'll to hold & book or a whole maga- zine, when they would greatly enjoy reading if there were no labor attach ed. These little leaflets are so light that the weakest person could hold them and they are also in homeopathic doses. as it were. so that there is no temptation to the invalids to go on reading several stories at a time, and so overdo their strength.

TRELLIS TRIM MING.

A new trimming that should be- come popular Is best described as a trellis made from ribbon, soft silk or strands of chiffon, and used as an in- sertion on skirts, as suspenders, belts, sashes. berthas and even sleeves It Is exceedingly pretty and can be easily made at home.
 Two strands are taken and laid as far apart as the desired width of the finished article. Then a third very long strand running zigzag Is used to connect these two. At every point where this strand turns the ribbon or chiffon. etc., is gathered into a little button rosette and then caught to the foundation strands.
 Ribbon and chiffon combine very prettily. The ends, as in sash, Ol where necessary. are drawn together and weighted with a pretty tassel.
 A dainty way of arranging the front of an evening gown in empire or crossover surplice short waist is to fill in with a piece of deep lace, the edge CT borde- reaching just above the bust where it is gathered with a baby rib bon in tucker fashion.

WEATHER CHARTS FOR THE
 OCEANS.

The plan is now on foot, with the aid of wireless telegraphy, to chart the weather areas of the great oceans and to have a system of forewarning ships at sea of approaching storms.
 The proposition is to have ocean, going craft all install wireless plants and to be equipped with meteorologi- cal instruments. It will be the duty then of every ship to send to every other vessel within wireless reach stated accounts of weather conditions. Thus many ships will be saved run ming into storms and by transmissions from ship to ship the condition of the weather the ocean over will be known to each vessel. The combined studies will result in a clear defining of the various air strata and current infu- ences.
 Much of the inaccuracy of present reports Is due to localization. A storm that is bred out at sea and is followed to land by wireless reports of it's course and conduct will prove an cas- fer subject for prediction of it's shore course than if 1t appears on the coast from nobody knows where. The same is true of storm arising in the West Indies. That center of nasty bits of weather that whip the sails of coast vessels into shreds and that spread ruin and loss along the Gulf coast is always considerable of a problem to weather men.
 Let us hope that all of this is true. We have a weather bureau which has a large field before it for improvement. Its attainments have not hardly met public expectations, and if by an ex- tension over the oceans an improve ment can be made 1t will be worth all that 1t costs.
