Removing Fruit Jar Covers.

Fruit jar covers may be removed
from the jar by filing a small pan
half full of hot water, inverting the
jar in it, and letting it stand few
minutes. The cover can then be easily
removed and is as good as new. BY
the old method of inserting a knife
under the rubber, the cover is often
bent, and will cause the loss of fruit
if it Ia used again.-Success.

AMERICAN PRoD1GALITY MOSTLY MYTHICAL.
By 0ugIieln,O Ferrero

In Europe one is fond of speaking Of the
barbarian extravaganza" Of the Americans.
Naturally, there are men and women In
New York, Philadelphia and Chicago, Just as
there are such men and women in Paris, Lon
don and Berlin, who delight in spending their
money foolishly It is perhaps even true that
there are more of that class Of men AMI wom-

WHAT UNIVERSAL PEACE REALLY MEANS.
By Baroness Won SUIT

The whole object of the peace advocates
consists in turning the people and the gov
ernments to kindness and mutual love. They
strive to show how much pleasanter, more
comfortable and healthier 1t Is to live In
peace than it is to quarrel and fight. The
public imagines the peace advocates to be

HUMANITY APPROACHING DIVINE IDEAL.

goes on where another leaves off, and un-

Some day, we may hope this idea will Be
realized in human society as nearly perfect

on ways and fseans. Both men voted
for the Fitzgerald amendments to the
house rules Monday. Mr. Bfoussafd
voted with the Republicans on other
questions during the rules fight.
The resolution was presented by Mr.,
Pujo OF Louisiana. After an hours de.
bate, Chairman CLAYTON ruled that the
resolution proposed was covered by
the resolution adopted by the caucus
Monday night, leaving the approval b
assignments with Mr.. Clark.
In both the senate and the house
yesterday the Republicans broke into
applause when the presidents mes
sage was read. II was known that the
document was to be especially short
but no one supposed it would be less
than 1000 words. but when the per.
sonal messenger of the president
deity plucked il from his vest pocket
and informed the clerks that 1t was
only 3S6 words in length there was a
sigh. The message follows:
Presidents Message In Full.
Il have convened the congress in
this extra session in order to enable
It to give immediate consideration to
the revision Of the Dingley tariff act.
Conditions affecting production, manu-
facture and business generally have
so changed in the last ~ years as TO
require a reimbursement and revision
of the import duties imposed by that
act More than this. the present tariff
act, with the other sources of gov
eminent revenue. does not furnish fn-
come enough to pay the authorized
expenditures BY July 1. next, the
excess of expenditures over receipts
for the current fiscal year will equal
500. 900 600. ~
The successful party in the late
election Is pledged to revision pr
the tariff. The country. and the buSi-
ness community, especially, expect 1T.
The prospect Of change in the rates
of import duties always causes a slis-
pension or halt In business because
of the uncertainty as to the changes
to be made and their effect. 1t Is
therefore Of the highest Importance
that the new bill should be agreed
upon and passed with as much speed
as possible consistent with its due
and thorough consideration. For these
reasons, have deemed the present
20 be an extraordinary occasion within
the meaning OF the constitution. justi-
flying and requiring the calling of an
extra session.
In my inaugural address, stated
In a summary way the principles upon
which. in my Judgment, the revision
of the tariff should proceed. and indi-
Gated at least one new source Of rev
enue that might be properly resorted
to in order TO avoid a future deficit.
1t is not necessary for me to repeat
what / then said.
Il venture to suggest that the vital
business interests OF the country re-
quire that the attention Of the con
gress in this session be chiefly de-
voted to The consideration Of the new
tariff bill, and that the less time given
to other sub eeis of legislation I'm this
session. the better for the country"
