Praises Work Of Committee.

I venture to say that no legislative
body has ever had presented to it a more
complete and exhaustive report than this
on so difficult and complicated a subject
as the relative costs of wool and woolens
the world over. It is monument to the
thorOughness, industry, impartialty and
accuracy Of the men engaged in its ma
king. They were chosen from both polit-
zeal parties. but have allowed no partisan
spirit to prompt or control their inquiries.
They are unanimous in their findings. I
feel sure that after the report has been
printed and studied the value of such
compendium of exact knowledge in re-
spect to this schedule of the tariff will
convince all of the wisdom of making
such a board permanent in order that
it may treat each schedule of the tariff
as it has treated this and then keep its
bureau of information up to date with
current changes in the economic world.
1t is no part of the function of the tar
iff board to propose rates of duty. Their
function is merely to present findings of
fact on which rates of duty may be fairly
determined in the light of adequate
knowledge in accordance with the eco
nomic policy to be followed. This is what
the present report does
The findings of fact by the board show
ample reason for the revision downward
of schedule X, in accord with the pro-
tective principle. and present the data
as to relative costs and prices from which
may be determined what rates will fairly
equalize the difference in production costs.
I recommend that such revision be pro-
ceeded with al once.

His Witty Reply.

An English lady of title, while visit
ing Washington after the Gould-Dccics
wedding, which she had come over to
attend, was greatly surprised at the
public discussion over the smoking
OF a cigarette by Lady Decies at the
window OF her private car.
81 hear" said this lady. that for
some time to come, on account Of this
incident, Lady Decies will be bothered
with letters of criticism from stran-
gers and anti-cigarette leagues. The
American prejudice against women
smokers is extraordinary.
81 suppose, however" continued the
speaker, that there are anti-tobacco
faddists everywhere l remember n
clever answer TO one of these faddists
made by Rev. c. II. Sturgeon, the
great preacher.
"a gentleman wrote to Mr.. Spur
geon, saying that he had heard he
smoked. and could not believe it to
be true. Would Mr.. Sturgeon write
and tell him II It really was so? The
reply was
Dear Sir: l cultivate my flowers
and burn my weeds.-Yours truly, c.

SOME DANGER IN F0IE GRAS
Geese From Which LlVers Are Taken
Are Now Fattened With
Poison.

Nothing is better" said Gordon
Bleu, than foie gras, or fat goose
liver. a foie gras Is the size CT 9 two
pound steak, 1t is as white as milk,
and II tastes rather like ground pea
nut butter. Yet so light and ethereal
is foie gras greenhorns would take
1t for something powdered up and
whipped, like cream.
You know how they get these liv-
ers? They shut up the goose, and
they stuff him with food forced
through a hose. He must eat, whether
he wants to or not. He is exactly like
the suffragette hunger strikers In
London, whom the home office fed
through stomach pumps.
1T takes years to fatten a goose
to the point where his great white
liver IS as big as a football, but lately
a genius has arisen in France who
will fatten him in few months.
This quick, cheap fattening is &C
complished by the addition of salts of
sorrel, or binoxalate of potash, to the
goose's food. The binoxalate of potash
works like a charm. The only trouble
with the superb livers 1t produces is
that these livers, containing oxalate
Of potassium, occasionally kill those
who eat them"
Gordon Bleu smiled ironically.
But in these days of industrialism,"
he said, when property is sacred and
life cheap, ca ne fait rein-that doesn't
matter"

TOO MUCH EVEN FOR EDISON
Great Inventor Could Not Make His
New Storage Battery Absolutely
Fool-Proof.

In order to make his storage battery
devised a machine for abusing the bat
terry in every known way, but although
he is one of our most brilliant inven-
tors, Mr.. Edison had to admit that
when it came to inventing methods OF
abusing electrical apparatus, he could
not compete with the fool" operator.
Try as he would to forestall every
conceivable method of injuring the ap-
paratus, some stupid man would devise
a new and unthought-of method for
putting 1t out Of business.
In this connection, says the Scienti-
fic American, 1t is interesting to note
that discussion on fool-proof devices
was held before the West of Scotland
branch OF the Association OF Mining
Electrical Engineers. One of the speak
ers argued that 1t was unnecessary to
attempt to make apparatus entirely
fool-proof, and that it was bad prac-
tice to surround electrical gear with
devices and safeguards which would
interfere with the action of the trained
engineer. Another speaker pointed to
the fact that there are not as many
folio operators as one would imagine;
that the so-called fool" is az ignorant
man, and that it would be better to
educate him than to prevent him from
doing injury to himself or to machin-
cry by means of safeguards, while
permitting him to remain ignorant.
