marIborouqh's Brief Message to Wife
Written After Battle of Blenhelm,
Preserved by His Descendants.

A scrap of paper that carries one
back to the very atmosphere of a great
decisive battle in the worlds history Is
among the historical treasures OF Blen'
helm house. On the paper are a dozen
lines scrubbed in pencil. They were
written by the duke of Marlborough at
the close of the fierce struggle at
Blenheim.
The tumult of battle was rolling
westward, where French and BaVari-
ans we're in disordered retreat, with
Marlborough's cavalry riding fiercely
in their rear. The slopes OF the hill
and the marshy plain were strewn with
80, 900 killed and wounded.
But Marlborough, with the excite,
ment of the great fight yet strong
within him, pulled up his horse on one
of the little rustic bridges across the
~Schwanbuch and scrubbed these dozen
lines to his wife in London to tell her
of the great event.

Thrce-Year-OId Eggs in China.

According to the Secretary Of the
National Poultry Organization of
London, England, an egg should be
either at least three or four years old
or not more than three or four days.
He says: 81 have eggs from China
which are excellent. The Chinese
wrap them in clay, put them away
for three years and then bake them.
"The clay pulls off the shell and
the interior resembles a plover's egg
iii appearance. They are much nicer
than Il stale English egg, because the
chemical process of change is COM

FORCE HIGH PRICES
MONOPOLY'S PRIVILEGE UNDER
NEW, TARIFF LAW.
Figures Made Public for the Period
During Which It Has Been in
Operation Are Interesting
to the Consumer.

The bureau of statistics at WASH
Ington has recently given out some
fragmentary information relating to
imports into the United States during
the twelve months from August l,
1909, to July 81, 1910. This practically
covers a year under the ~Payne-Aldrlch
tariff, as the present law went into
effect on August 5, 1909. The Re-
public has heretofore commented on
the complete statistics for eleven
months ending May 81 and its readers
will no doubt be pleased to note that
the later information given out IN no.
wise changes the significance OF the
more incomplete data previously anal
yzed.
The lesson strongly pointed by the
figures for the lesser periods OF time
Is in fact emphasized by those for the
greater period. The total imports du-
ring the year amounted to s1,562,621
1S1, of which almost so per cent, or
S76S, 4 1921, came in free of duty. n
fact that the free imports are greater
than in any prior year in the history
of the government and that the per-
centage of such free imports to total
imports is greater than in any year
except the last twelve months OF the
Wilson laws operation is by Repub-
licans held to justify argument pal
liating in at least some slight degree
the new laws iniquities.
One has to know, however, OF what
these free imports consist before &C.
cepting them as an indication OF the
laws effects. Detailed figures from
August to August at hand for the pc
riod show that free importations OF
that raw rubber in which Mr.. Aldrich's
rubber trust deals so largely and with
such lucrative results amounted IN
eleven months Of the fiscal year end
ing June 80 to more than 500, 1000, 900.
t. The figures on raw rubber for the en-
tire twelve months OF the Payne-Al-
drich bill will undoubtedly be still
more impressive. 1t will be found
that considerably more than $10O,OOO,-
900 out Of the total S76S,047,231 free
importations can be credited to rub
Der.
We have also shown that during
eleven months "crude materials for
the use Of manufacturers were I'M
ported to the total amount of $751;
O00, 900, or an average Of about $44.-
600, 900 a month. If the average was
maintained for the entire twelve
months 1t would mean a. total of So7o,.
600, 900 In free crude material for the
sole benefit of manufacturers. To
subtract that amount would make a
big crimp in the total Of S768,047,231
in free imports which are claimed to
furnish a basis for eXtolling the new
law.
Analysis of all figures so far made
public shows that the following epti-
tomizes the new law accurately: 1t
permits the manufacturer to obtain at
a cheaper price many of his raw ma
~terials, which are placed on the free
list, while excessive protection still
continued on his manufactured prod
ucts enables him to exact even higher
prices than heretofore from the Amer
lean consumer.--St. Louis Republic.

To keco Out Moths,

People who dislike the odor OF moth
balls should know that bags of dried
tansy placed among the wooden gar
ments will answer every purpose OF
keeping OF, moths, and with none OF
the d~isagreeable odor which is sure to
tell the story of moth balls. Make
small bags of thin white muslin and
fill them with the dried crushed leaves
and sew up. Place half a dozen Of
these in the packing box and thai
moths will vanish.
