AN AnEcDoTE OF MKINLEY.
HE Gentle Rebuke to a Department.
Chiefs Subordinat,.

President Mckinley's scrupulous 10y
atty to his cabinet officers is spoken of
as one of his characteristics. IL Is said
that he never went over the heads of
his secretaries to consult an assistant,
but held each to responsibility for his
department.
OF all the events OF his administra-
ton probably none was source OF
more anxiety TO him than the decision
Of the supreme court on the status Of
the colonies It was Il matter OF great
moment whether the highest judicial
body should uphold the view Of tie
administration that the constitution
sanctioned the possession of colonies
which were not granted full reprcseh.
tation. There were conflicting rumors
and forecasts Of the color OF the dcci.
sion. and these added TO the tension
felt at Washington. Shortly before
she announcement of the finding of the
court a subordinate officer of one of
the departments appeared at the White
House mt an unusual hour and insisted
upon seeing the president ON the plea
Of important business. Having been
admitted. he came at once to his or.
rand.
MFR. President, have some good
news for you. | have just learned an-
thoritatively that the decision of the
supreme court is to be in your favor"
He fairly glowed with the Importance
of his welcome message.
THANK you"A said Mr. Mckinley
quietly. THAT is good news. But
have you Informed your chief?"
mo. Mr.. President. | thought you
ought to be the first to know it."
We'll. Mr. -, I'm sorry for that. |
Now. will you please do me the favor !
TO go at once TO your chief and give |
him the information so that he may !
communicate it TO me5"-Silos .Harri

An Early Postal Experiment.

AS long ago as the seventeenth CEN
fury the attempt was made to prepay
letters by using stamps. In 1868 Paris
tried system that even provided pill
lar boxes for the letters. which were
to have a billet, price l sol. attached to
the letter or parcel. The experiment
met the usual experience of the pio-
neer-ridicule. Mice were dropped into
the letter boxes. and when the letters
came TO be collected it was found that
the animals had made hearty meal of
them. AS nobody could be sure of the
fate OF the parcels. the experiment
came to sudden end.

LONG Drawn Out ELECTIONS.

No complaint with regard to undue
limitation of polling time was possible
N the old parliamentary days. The
danger Vas that polling might be pro,
ionged for fortnight or 2 month.
Drastic action 10 bring the poll to n
close once provoked II riot In the West
minister division of London. At the
general election that began on April
-; 17i1, the two Westminster minis
teriaI candidates were on the fifth day
of polling well ahead, but an opposi-
ton party of electors approaching the
hustings in great force, the high baililf
(who favored the ministerialistsl lie
ciared that he feared riot and closed
the poll. The baflied voters rioted and
the military were called out. The high
bailiff had afterward to apologize on
his knees to the speaker and pay n
heavy fine.

SPINNING ASBESTOS.
A Thread a Hundred Yards Long and
Only an Ounce In WEIGHT.

When 1t leaves the cobbing sheds as.
bestos is sent TO the spinning mills in
bags containing about 100 pounds. 1t
is then first carded by machine
somewhat resembling the saw tooth
gin seen in cotton mills. This machine
separates the tangled fibers. upon the
completion of which operation there oc-
ours a final carding on regular cart
ing machine. Leaving this carding ma

The next step is 10 t-eat this mass
N :. rotary spinning machine. First
- the mass is spun into coarse yarn
Then 1t is drawn and spun until it be-
comes fine and quite strong. In case
hard. strong thread is required for cer-
tain fabrics the asbestos yarn is placed
in a doubling and twisting machine.
where two or more of the yarn threads
are combined. If the asbestos is to be
impregnated with rubber Il smooth.
hard finished thread is not desirable.
For a long time the problem of spin

found that. Under the microscope.

The Money Tennyson Made.

Lord Tennyson made n great income
from his poems When Strahan & Co.
took over the publication of the poems
in the sixties they agreed to pay Tenny-
son $4,000 year in respect TO the
books already issued and pay the poet
ali profits on new work, less a modest
~ per cent commission. This second
item generally. meant 100000 for each
new volume. For many years before
his death Tennyson drew steady $780,
600 per annum from his publishers.
