THE NEW BEADS.

Judging from the number of in
quiries for beads, one might think
our old friends, the rose beads, are
losing favor.
The new heads are certainly very
pretty if car efully made, and are less
trouble to complete.
Take one cup of fine, white SALT
heat very hot, and while in this con-
dition stir in one-half cup each of
corn starch and water, which have
been thoroughly mixed. Stir until
the mass is smooth, then roll out into
beads of uniform size and shape. A
good way to do this is to roll out the
mass on a clean board with a rolling
pin, then stamp or cut out with a
thimble. If beads are too large the
paste was not rolled thin enough.
Make hole through the beads with
hat pin, broom straw. or better
still, wire. One can get a spool at
a hardware store for ten cents. Leave
strung until thoroughly dry.
These can be colored any tint you
wish by mixing powdered coloring
matter with the salt; or liquid color
ing may be used. In that case, mix
it with the starch instead of the clear,
cold water.
Put small glass beads of color to
harmonize or contrast between; or
they are very pretty without.
In coloring, keep the tints delicate.

which should be entirely covered.
After two or three days drain off

pour over new brine at times.

IF WE ONLY UNDERSTOOD.

If we knew the cares and trials,
Knew the efforts all in vain,
And the bitter disappointment,
Understood the loss and gain
Would the grim eternal roughness
Seem-I wonder-just the samep
Should we help where now we hinderi
Should we pity where we blame2
All we judge each other harshly,
Knowing not life's hidden force
Knowing not the fount of action
Is less turbid at it's source;
Seeing not amid the evil
All the golden grains of good;
And we'd love each other better
If we only understood.
Could we judge all deeds by motives
That surround each others lives,
See the naked heart and spirit.
Know what spur the action gives,
Often we should find it better,
Purer than we judge we should.
We should love each other better
Ii We only understood.
Could we judge all deeds by motives,
See the good and bad within,
Often we should love the sinner
All the while we loathe the sin;
Could we know the powers working
To o'erthrow integrity,
We should judge each others errors
With more patient charity.

A Public Disgrace

At present writing we have no less than TWEEN
ty-seven of typhoid fever in this city. Ty-
phoid fever is filthy disease transmitted by
flies, water milk Carriers" infected persons,
etc. 1t is preventabe. 1t is extravagant. 1t is
needless DIR. J. N. Hurry, of Indianapolis, sec
rotary Of the Indiana State Board of Health,
says in recent letter to the health officers:
Let your newspapers officials and citizens
know that every of typhoid is black mark
against the sanitary conditions of the commun-
ity, and costs more than fire or flood" In an
other connection, commenting on the exception
ally high percentages of typhoid in this state, he
writes:
'The higher mortality from typhoid is state
sin and disgrace and proves that Indiana still
lives in the Typhoid Age" and is GUILTY OF
GROSS SANITARY NEGLIGENCEn'
And we are all to blame the dairymen for
their negligence, the public for its Indifference,
sufferers for their heedlessness of others, and
health officers for their nursing along and pro-
tecting darymen that do not measure up to re-
quirements. Being of one guilt cannot sit
around and thrown stones, but we can get to
work and remove this public disgrace from the
community.

We hope Mr. Osborne's experiment will bear

we wonder if, after all, he will be able to know

society, money, home, and a good name to re-

knows it will be brief and undisgracing He may

most acquainted with it most critical of it.
It is due to their agitation more than to any
other source that public sentiment is being
created which promises to transform from top
RI bottom our methods of dealing with crime
Just how much in earnest prison experts
have become is well Illustrated by the case of
Thomas Mott Osborne, chairman of the New York
state commission of prison reform. Mr.. Os-
horne has long felt that society is committing
crimes against criminals and that penitentiares
make a smuch crime as they cure In order to
discover Just what effect solitary confinement
with the usual prison regime has on the average
human being, Mr.. Osborn has had himself i'm

Where Is the Excitement?

The Democrats long prayed for tariff bill
now functions law of the sovereign people.
Millions of dollars worth of goods are in bonded
warehouses at New York awaiting the signal
that the long closed protection doors are opened
at last. Meanwhile the anticipated excitement
and panic promised by high protectionists has
not yet been materialized. It seems that bust
ness is stable and industrial conditions about nor
NAL. This is not the least significant symptom Of
a new time dawning. The once sacrosanct high
tariff goes down and hardly furry results.
Industrial lords do not seem to lose sleep nor
do the induces of commercial affairs suggest much
disturbance.
Neither we may add is the humble, ultimate
consumer lying awake nights calculating his earn
ing to accrue from the decreased cost of living
made possible by the law. 1t is pretty gen
orally understood the country over our hopes in
that direction are to be largely illusory Even the
Democratic leaders themselves have more than
once in the course of their debates warned their
constituents against expecting too much from
the reform
The tariff war, over, has revealed an
astonishing state of affairs we had scarcely yet
begun to realize. The senate, for years and
years supposed to be the very bulwark of priv
ilege, the foe of popular legislation, the ogre of
pOpullSt 1maglnatlOnS, has become very modest
and obedient. Instead of tearing the heart from
the bill as referred by the house, it goes the
more popular body better and tghtens the
screw a turn 1t reduces tariffs four per
cent further than the house, and raised the in
come tax on 100000, or over four per cent,
the houses figure, to five per cent Is the world
coming to an end?
But the most extraordinary thing revealed
by the history of the bill is that we have another
Big Stick in the White House. AS old New
York politician puts it, when speaking of the
Democratic party, "The president is not only its
virtual head but it's MASTER" and Mark Sullivan
went him better and exclaimed in Golfers
'It (the senate) is now eating out of the presi-
dents hand"
Meanwhile Democrats are rejoicing to find
themselves somewhat efficiently organized and
actually doing something. 1t seems their long
period of mere opposition and criticism in ma
tional politics is over for time. They are drunk
with the wine of achievement.
We wish them much JOY And also, as the
winter wears away, we shall how they hang
together when the really big question come up,
What shall we do with the trusts?
