A Corner In Candles.

AS an example of trusts and monop-
olies prevalent even in that early day
1t may be mentioned that in 1850 one
Benjamin Crabb obtained the exclus-
i've right to make sperm candles in
Massachusetts for IA years.
A year later, however, a factory was
started in Providence, R. l., and with
in the decade there were eight fac
tories in New England and one in
Philadelphia. Their output greatly re-
duced the price of candles, which not
long before sold for five shillings a
pound. In those days $1.25 was worth
fully three times as much as it is now.

To ARRANGE Flowers.

Here are five golden rules which
should be observed by those who often
arrange flowers. Use plenty of foliage.
Put your flowers in very lightly. Use
artistic glasses. Do not put more than
two or, at the most, three different
kinds of flowers in one decoration.
Arrange your colors to form a bold
contrast. or, better still, soft har-
mony. The aim of the decorator should
be to show off the fiowers-not the
vases that contain them; therefore the
simpler ones are far preferable to
even the most elaborate. Glasses for
dinner table should be either white,
delicate shade of green, or rose col
or, according to the flowers arranged
in them.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 2.-Chair-
man Flint of the senate committee on
oceanic canals, and Chairman Mann
of the house committee on interstate
and foreign commerce both expect to
introduce bills at the present session
concerning the Panama canal. The
bills will be framed along lines agreed
to in conferences with President Taft.
The bills will provide for fertilization
of the canal, will give the president
power to regulate tolls under maxi
mum and minimum limitations and
will give the government a monopoly
of the sale of coal, oil and other ship
supplies to vessels passing through
the canal. The bills will also provide
for the operation of drydocks and re-
pair shops by the government.

mately within one per cent of the
previous maximum record of 1907.
This estimate was made by Edward
w. Parker from reports received by
the United States Geological Survey.
"The most important factor in coal
mining in 1870" says Parker, was
the strike in Illinois and the south
western states. This strike was not
settled until September Is, and after
that date much time was lost in put
ting mines into condition for opera
ton. The period of idleness in the
mines affected was fully six months.
The settlement was a practical sur
render of operators to the demands
of the miners, with an increase Of
5.55 per cent in wages.
1T was claimed by the miners or
ganization that on June l, 1910, sew
enty thousand miners were idle in
Illinois and $4,000 in the southwest"
Of the total production in 1910, the
anthracite mines of Pennsylvaia con-
tributed nearly 100000 short tons,
and the bituminous mines between
100000 and 40O,00O,00O tons.

for the row of frame building on

Marshal Shea of Fargo, who hurried.
ly aroused some of the legislators
and guests at the Northwest hotel
and fastened to lend his assistance
to the firemen.
The mercury was many degrees be-
low zero and stiff wind was blowing
which seriously handicapped the fire
fighters in their work. The blaze in
cluded the buildings occupied by E.
A. Dawson's grocery store, the old
Hub restaurant, H. Steinmetz' har-
ness shop, and Fred Strauss jewelry
Establishment. All of these buildings
and their contents were a total loss.
The fire originated in the harness
shop. Mr.. Steinmetz had gone over
to the shop and started the fire, then
returned to his house. The stove
was in the work room, where there
was considerable oil and inflammable
material. 1t is supposed that a spark
leaped out from the stove and started
the blaze. The loss and insurance
was as follows:
Fred Strauss, loss $4,000, insurance
on building none.
Henry Steinmetz, loss $4,000, insur-
ance $3.50.
Huh restaurant building, loss
$1,000, insurance $500.

aged by fire and water, but the ex-

that has been experienced in the
city since the big fire of 1898.

Colonel William H. Crook in the Phil

Mrs. Harrison had finally decided
upon some slight architectural changes
and had brought her architects plans
to the president and asked his opinion
of them. General Harrison studied
the drawings with care and noticed
that several inches were left, each
plainly marked. At last he said:
"Well, my dear, here is a place for
Lincoln, and here is place for

three places for Vest" Then he add
