Summer Beds.

While the beds in the summer home
should be rurslly simple and give an i'm
preston OF inexpensiveness, no expense
should be spared in any detail that Affects
the comfort Of the sleepers. Only the best
Of mattresses should be considered, and .
failure to provide sheets Of ample length
and width il . serious shortcoming on the
part Of the housskeeper.
There are lovely summer blankets Of
wool no heavier than cotton sheet, and
Italian silk blankets are also desirable
for use on cool nights. Spreads for in
formal beds should be unpretsntious COW
erings Of practical material. Fitted COW
ers ofif1owered cretonne are always pretty,
and French dimities, which are much
lighter than marseilles, are also service
able.
Old fashioned quilts are desirable in
country homes OF the informal sort, and
the old-time blue and white coverlets
made by Kentucky mountaineers, are
quite the thing for the mountain camp or
bungalow. A certain freshness is lost
when colors are chosen for bed coverings,
yet their use is very common. Austrian
spreads in delicate pinks and blues or .
rich ecru, or India cottons, with quaint
palm or crescent patterns, with printed
borders, make attractive covers.

with New Army Gun Custer Could
Have stood on sioux Nation.
A new gun, whose use in the United
state army, it is said, may mean the rev
authorizing of even the most modern
methods OF war on land, and which for
lightness, power and general effectiveness
is said to be the most terribly destructive
weapon ever invented, is now being Sc
cretly manufactured in the Springfield ar
mory for Uncle Sans use.
This gun, weighing less than twenty
pounds, and manipulated after the fashion
of an ordinary towing piece, pours GU;
stream OF bullets when In action at the
rate of 400 shots per minute.
The new firearm is called the Benet-
has a stock that Is placed against the
shoulder. In action the soldier lies on the
ground, resting the gun on two supports.
This gives an advantage in safety over the
Hiram Maxim rapid-nring model, since
the operator Of that gun Is compelled to
stand in feeding it. This brings him in
full sight Of the enemy, or rather il bring
three men in sight, for three are required
for the manipulation OF this heavier
weapon.
Once row OF men ID brought up on the
firing line with the guns they will drop
down after the fashion Of sharpshooters
1t 10 the WORK OF . second to raise the
guns on the low supports. Another SEC
ond, and everything 10 in readiness for
action. With the word Of command the
pull OF the trigger sends hundreds OF
bullets hurting into the ranks OF the
enemy.
1t 10 said to be CERTAIN that the army in
time will be equipped with them, since .
detachment OF infantry provided with
such armament would be almost irresist-
ible to body OF men fitted out with such
guns ~ army men now use.
Army officials are more interested in the
new Springfield gun than in any hitherto
built. As against the old Maxim three
man gun the new gun requires only one
soldier.
The Maxim gum, weighing 3oo pounds,
when loaded on the battlefield, received its
charge from q gunner, who perched him
self on top OF the weapon in full sight Of
the enemy. The new gun is loaded and
operated by one man lying fiat on the
ground.
The Maxim, owing to its unwieldincss,
had to be wheeled about. The new gun
is therefore ten times as effective,
is because it is carried about ~ easily as
an ordinary rife. With one of these
weapons it is cited Custer could have
stood of the entire Sioux nation.
The work on the new guns at the
armory is being guarded with the strict
est secrecy. About sixty men are en-
ployed on them, and it is expected that
within few weeks some will be ready
for trial.

First Introduced into This Country

John F. Stanley, superintendent OF the
State fish hatchery at Auburn, in . letter
in the Maine Woods, says:

''B. c. J. E." Blakeslee camps, in relation
to fish caught there. My opinion, ac-
cording to the description OF the fish, Is
that it was Ger nan or brown trout.

hatchery that has raised any brown trout.
.'The first brown trout were cent to this
hatchery some fifteen years ago from the
United States hatchery. l tried to be
careful not to have the different Ash mixed,
but at times, with the most careful atten-
ton, the screens between the ponds will
get broken, and no doubt the fish got
mixed. There have been red trout sent to
Blakeslee lake from this hatchery, and
more than likely . few brown trout got
mixed with them.

Mr.. Taft's Victory.


The economic and commercial eff
fects Of reciprocity with Canada must
be tested by time; and the abundance
OF prophecies of good or i'll to come
from it may be dismissed as essenti-
ally poetical. A political effect Of the
discussion of the agreement has been
disclosing itself gradually since Mr..
Taft's message to Congress on January
%, and with particular clearness in
the last few weeks.
Mr.. Taft has gained remarkably In
public estimation, and the Insurgents
have sagged steadily In reputation
until there seems to be general feel
ing Of disgust ct theff insincerity, sell
nshness and double dealing.
Mr.. Taft has shown that he II .
frank, brave and capable leader. The
progressive saints have lost their
halos; the congregation Of the hypo-
critics y desolats.

TAFT CONFERS WITH
SECRETARY OF STATE
President Pleased With Decision
Supreme Court UNFOLDING
Corporation Tax

AUGUSTA, Ca, March 13.-Hunt-
lngdon Wilson. acting secretary of
state, who unexpectedly arrived here
today and had an hours conference
with President Taft returned to Wash
ngton tonight. Wilson's visit to the
president afforded an opportunity for
official denial of the report recently
sent out from Washington that there
had been friction between Taft and
the state department including Sec
rotary Knox over the handling of
the Mexican situation.
President Taft was delighted be-
vond measure when informed of the
decision of the supreme court in up
holding the validity of the corporation
tax law. His insistence put this law
on the statute books and he de-
Tended his action in signing the
Payne-Aldrich law partly upon the
fact it contained corporation tax pro-
visions.
1t now seems assured that Taft
while here, will not act on cases OF
Bankers Morse and Walsh. The pres
ident has not looked at the papers and
to go through them according to his
custom would require several days
work. He came to Atlanta for rest
and is anxious to spend as much time
outdoors as possible.

ONLY ONE DEAD
IN EXPLOSION
Dupont Powder Mill Catastrophe
Ruins Much Property But
Workers Are Fortunate

PLEASANT PRAIRIE, Wis.
March 10.-Within the vicinity of the
wrecked Dupont powder mill a waste
of dismantled homes, the first acton
today of the residents was toward
the elimination of the menace Of the
powder works from the county. In
dignation meetings were held here
and at Kenosha. An effort is to be
pushed in the present session Of the
Wisconsin legislature, according to
the plans of the residents.
The question Of liability for dam.
ages is serious one with the victims
Destruction of their homes in most
instances is an overwhelming calam-
ity No attempt was made today to
accomplish anything but temporary
patchwork of the shattered homes
Lack of food already is a pressing
problem.
Only One Killed
Fragments of the body Of F. s
Thompson, the only person killed in
last nights explosion, were found
this morning in a pond half a mile
from the glaze mill where he met his
death. A jury was impanelled b!
Coroner Stanton and the preliminary
hearing was continued until tomor.
row when the attendance of enough
witnesses to fix the cause of the ex
plosion is expected
That the explosion started in thu
glaze mill and that it was caused BY
the defective working of machiner,
in the delicate process of putting tn:
last high explos We finish on Clan
powder, was indicated today by s
statement of Engineer Joseph Flynn
himself seriously injured, who was al
eye witness of the initial explosion.
Dangerous Process
Flynn's statement Is supported b.
that of DR.. A. L. Lowe. who has fire.
quently inspected the glaze mill. Botf
say the heating and friction o.
powder in the hot air and steam
jacketed cylinders of the glazing
machinery bring the explosives to I
precarious poise as the process ap
preached the finish.
1t is generally believed ronigh
after communication has peen estab
lished with farm houses in the DANCE
zone, that lynn was the only person
seriously injured.
Superintendent Brady said he hat
accounted for every one who migh
have been at work and that only on
(Thompson) is dead, The financia
loss to the company is roughly est
mated at 100000. but the total los
due to the explosion is too widely dis
tributed to be estimated.
