Breaking Competition.

1t Is stated that the reason for the ac-
guirement OF IT by the Tennessee Coal &
Iron company property was 10 break
down competition in manufacture OF steel
between the Bessemer and the open
hearth systems. The "steel trust" owned
the Bessemer ores In the Lake Superior
region, which were comparatively free
from PHOSPHORUS. and controlled the
Bessemer converter The open hearth
system permitted the utilization OF phos-
phorous ores and the steel trusts mon
opoly on ores was gone until il had Sc
cured the Tennessee conpany's prop
erty
The "steel trust" Il Is claimed, is a
creature OF the protective tariff. which
tariff enables II TO rob the government
and to steal from the people, It Is
charged with being the most pernicious
of sl trusts in that It levies it's toll on
every line of human cndeavor and on
every individual. II is at the root OF the
high cost OF living evil the report will
eay.

Paper Clothing.


The latest idea is clothing made Of
paper. A representative of a large
English firm of paper manufacturers
states that they are at the present
moment experimenting in the hope Of
producing kind of paper really suit
able for the making of clothes which
can be sewn and hold buttons. PA
per towels are an excellent idea-these
are made in Germany" he said. Pa
per hats have been a fashion for
some time. Instead of wearing wash
able cotton sun bonnets and caps,
children can have each day a new pa
per hat costing from two cents to
twelve cents, which takes one item off
the washing bill. Paper shirts are
being produced at IL cents apiece,
while the cost of a paper handker-
chief is two cents-the price of the
washing of a linen one. In the house
hold, too, the washing bill can be
largely reduced by using paper in
stead of linen, for now there are paper
blinds-lace edged-paper serviettes,
paper toilette mats, paper doilies, pa
per table covers, while paper toweling
could be adapted to kitchen use for
tea cloths, busters and similar artt-
cles.

Longevity of Birds.

1t used to be contended that ravens
lived longer than any other species of
birds, and it was said that their age
frequently exceeded a century Re
cent studies of the subject indicate
that no authentic instance of a raven
surprising seventy years Of age is of
record. But parrots have been known
to attain an age of one hundred years.
There is record of a golden eagle
which died at Schoenbrun at the age
OF 118 years. Another golden eagle
was kept in the tower of London for
ninety years. A third died at Vienna
104 years old. Geese and swans are
tenacious of life, and extraordinary
accounts exist of the great age they
have attained. Button and other au.
thorities have credited them with
eighty and one hundred years of life

It is a far cry from prize fighting

it is the basis of one of the most re-
markable religious movements this
