HOUSE LEADERS IN
WSOL DISPUTE DENY.
THEY ARE BLUFF|NG
Senate Split on La Toilette
Measure Complicates
Situation.

With the denial. Of House leaders
that they are playing a game OF
"bluff" in standing pat for the House
wool bill and with the Senate some
what split as to further cuts in the
La Toilette substitute, the wool situa-
ton at both ends of the Capitol is
rather uncertain today.
Representative Underwood and the
tariff makers of the House, however,
are not SO pessimistic over the out
look as some published reports would
indicate. They believe that the Senate
Eventually will accept a bill much
similar to that passed by the House
originally and that a wool bill of
some sort will be put up to the Presi-
dent, which Is a contamination de-
Voutly to be wished by the Democrats
and the insurgents, since the Presi-
dent has said that he will veto such
a measure.
1t is improbable that the House can
De persuaded to accept even a 80 per
cent duty on raw wool, whereas the La
toilette substitute carries 35 per cent.
The Senate must yield further on this
line according to present indications,
Tor the House free raw wool Demo-
Gratis who. swallowed the 20 per cent
duty in the House bill can hardly be
expected to agree to 10 per cent addi-
tional.
1t is believed that the House would
accept from Is to q per cent on raw
wool, ard II the Senate coalition will
meet these figures the final passage of
wool bill is almost a certainty.
Representative Underwood says that
the House is still satisfied with its own
bin. Speaker Clark says that the two
houses are going to agree on a bill so
much like the House bill that you can
hardly tell the difference" A Bryan
Democrat. heretofore for free raw wool,
but now anxious to get a wool bill up
to the President, says Just bet we'll get
together some way"
OF course, If the Senate agrees to the
free list bill and the cotton bill, and
the House accepts the Senate amend
ments. these bills may go to the Presi-
dent before the conferees finish their
fighting over wool. Were the President
to veto the free list and the cotton
schedule revision. 1t would serve to put
Congress on notice that there will be
no tariff revision at this session and the
Democrats would feel justified in an
agreement to adjourn leaving the wool
bill still in conference. Meanwhile, con-
siderable trafficking is going on in the
Senate between insurgents and Demo-
Gratis, with the House wool bill as the
bone Of contention.

MILLIONTHPATENT

II was on July 81, 1870, that Samuel
Hopkins, of Vermont, was honored with
the first patent issued by the Govern
ment, under the then new patent law.
The issuance Of the first patent was a
great event, and called for consideration
by the President.
Mr.. Hopkins patent was issued to
cover q device for the making Of pot
and pearl ashes, which are the matter

method Of making pot and pearl ashes
today Is little different from the method
patented by Mr.. Hopkins.
The patent issued to Mr.. Hopkins,
however, was not patent No. 1 so far
as the records go. for several thousand
patents were issued by the Government
before the serial numbers were started.
IL was forty-six years after the issu-
ance OF the first patent, that the Patent
Once was Teorganized along the pres
ent lines, and the numbering OF patents
started.
John Ruggles took out patent No. 1
Tor steam engine designed to run on
an inclined plane, on July 2S. 1896. or
Just seventy-five years ago. American
ingenuity has designed just 100000 pat

Making Scrap Books.

The very best kind of scrap book for the nursery is one made of linen. color ed cambric or muslin. Cut four pieces. 24 by F inches. and buttonhole stitch the edges. Then stitch down~th the middle. fold over and stitch again along the folded edges to make the book stay shut The edges may be scalloped instead of buttouholed Ad- vertisements may be cut from news papers and magazines and by combin- ing them make very funny pictures.
 Another kind of scrap book can be made from a blank book which has all of the leaves cut across about a third of the way down Cut from picture cards or old books figures of men, women. boys or girls. and. cutting of the heads. paste the bodies on the larger part of the page and the heads on the smaller part so they just fit to- gether. By only turning part of the pages. either the upper or lower. at a time. each body can be made to it a different head. But you must be care ful 10 paste the pictures so that any head will join any body. 4 linen book can be made in the same way.
 Make the paste by mixing one half cup of four with cold water to make a smooth thin batter. Stir continually Remove from the fire as soon as it boils and add three drops of cloves.

This Is what Miss Ida Tarbel, the biographer of Standard Oil and author of life of Lincoln" has to say about woman's civic duty:
 '.The most valuable citizen in the world is the woman who stays at home and properly brings up a family of children.
 A woman's first and most impor- tant duty to the state is the same as it always has been since the begin ming of things-the rearing of good citizens
 There is no achievement, literary. artistic. what you will. which woman can perform tllat is of the same vital significance to the nation as the rear ing of a family of mentally. morally. physically healthy boys and girls. There is no profession containing such real honor for a woman as that of homemaking And it is the great ma tional job for the majority of us. Let us see that we stick to it. We can't do anything better"
 Miss Tarbell's interviewer here in NtA Db1GA lAAbA u VI tA1 AOA lfASoAbiE AcA all women to marry. and she was asked what civic duties were best per formed by the single ones.
 Miss Tarbell said: They still serve the state in many ways. The highest service that they can perform is to be- come teachers. Women do excellent work on boards of hospitals. reforma- tories, prisons. asylums and schools. Indeed. there should be q proportion of women on all such boards. though there should be men also,
 "As factory and milk and tenement house inspectors women do splendid service There should be many more women probation officers. All state institutions taking care of women and children should be largely adminis- tered by women"

Joke on the Joker.

When Professor Scheffei. the Ger man poet, was staying in Italy for the benefit of his health he received from a friend in Berlin an unstamped let ter containing nothing but the fol- lowing words: "I am quite we'll Yours truly. B." Annoyed at having to pay double postage, the poet pack ed in a case a very large stone and dispatched it to his friend by express. collect The latter. in the belief that the package contained something of considerable value. willingly paid the high charges and opened the case. His feelings may be better imagined than described when he saw the stone and the label attached to it, which bore the following words: ''On re- ceipt of the news as to the state of your health my heart was relieved of this load.'

Prasencn of Mind

A startling incident is related of an officer in the Twelfth hussar regiment who was riding with the troops in the neighborhood of the garrison of Merse- burg when suddenly his horse. a high mettled charger. took fright and bolt ed His efforts to restrain the animal were fruitless. Giving the horse the rein, the officer waited for a chance to spring from the saddle. To his dis may. the animal suddenly swerved to- ward a piece of level ground which ended in a cliff oyerhanging the shore. In a few moments both horse and rider would be over the edge. But a bright flash was seen for a moment, and the saber of the officer fell with deadly effect upon the head of his steed- Just in time the officer leaped from the saddle and escaped.

TsIsphone Invitations.

When accepting an invitation over the telephone it is the part of wisdom to follow it with a written acceptance in which the day. date and hour are repeated. Only in this way can wo- man be certain that no error is made in the time. and the sense of security given Is worth the effort
 Telephonic invitations will always appear to be informal and sometimes are. but a woman will have no diff culty fin deciding the point if she gives heed to the hour appointed 4 lunch con at half past l o'clock. to play bridge afterward, may be regarded as formal; dinner at any time after a quarter to : is also formal.

Good Form

A communication or gift received by a person in social life must be ac- knowledged This is a rule 50 emphat- ic that 1t has no exceptions.
 And equally Is it the rule that if the communicatin be a card or note it must be responded 10 in precisely the same form. Acting upon this, no wo- man heed fear making a mistake in this branch of her social duties.
 X visiting card. slight as it is. should not be ignored unless it bears the let ters ''P. P. C." In that instance it is an answer to cOurtesies received as well as an announcement of departure and therefore might be said 10 close communication.
 A receipt of a card following an event of importance to the family re quires card in return. For example. after a birth or death or other occa- sions less momentous it is not un- common for friends to post visiting cards as indicating that they are aware of the happening. Sometimes merely word or line Is written on the card. as "Condolences," 'Felicitations." ac- cording to the nature of the event The return card. which should be sent within a couple of days, may have the word Thanks" written on it. or it may be blank except for the engraved name and address
 IL is not considered good form to an swer a note with q card save after 8 death. when a bereaved family is per mitted to make little effort. and it's members may spare themselves the work of writing notes.
 Invitations are always to be answer ed in the same form in which they are received. so that if a note comes writ ten in the first person the response also should contain the personal pro noun More formal invitations, in which the third person is employed. require the third in return.
 Incidentally a person who is un- accustomed to writing this most for nal communication. which takes the third person. must be careful that in answering the response continues to contain the third at the end as at the beginning
 More than one person has committed the error of beginning correctly with the third and ending with the first per son

A Few Tahle Rules.

A woman who gives much attention 10 diet and lives up to the best ideas in this line has the following rules neatly framed in conspicuous place in her dining room where the family may be impressed with them:
 First.-Five or ten minutes before beginning to eat a meal drink q glass of cold water This will leave the stomach before the food reaches it and will carry with it any mueus which has accumulated since last eat ing. thus leaving the walls of the stom- ach clear and ready to be activated by the newly arrived food
 Second.-Never take a second cup of coffee You will not care for a second if you moisten your food sufficiently with saliva Take dinner coffee al ways with dessert or after rather than before, as it thus aids digestion
 Third.-Never wash your food down with Hquids, but masticate each mouth ful well and it will be sufficiently moist and will promote the flow of gastric juices. thereby preparing the stomach still further for its work
 FOurth.-Never eat until too full By a little attention to the matter you will learn when to stop and thus avoid the consequences of overeating. One mOuthful too much is apt to cause dis arrangement of the digestive system. This may seen like putting it rather strong. but you know that even a teaspoonful too much will cause a dish to overflow. and the same applies to the closely packed organs of the hu- man body, where disarranged gastric fluids will produce illness.
