Free Trade Tariff Commission.

II is rumored that the new tariff
commission is contemplating a trip

confident that the rumor Is without
foundation.
II Is hardly probable that "A commits

Gus questions which enter into the
problem of manufactures or manufac-
turing In Europe and the Orient should
desire To cross the ocean at the pres
ent time when such an investigation
as congress requires is manifestly i'm

No satisfactory investigation can
be made tin the war ends and normal
conditions are fully restored and re-

Soldiers Clad in Steel.

Getting its inspiration from the val
liable service already performed by the
steel helmet, La Nature Of Paris sug-
gests that the soldiers entire body
should be incased In armor. 1t proposes,
says Popular Science Monthly, that
the sides Of the head, neck and upper
part Of the chest be covered with a
gorget, q kind of collar, and the loins
with a kind of skirt, like the lower
part Of habergeon, both in chain
mail. A cuirass, or breatpate. of NOV
able plates of steel would protect the
chest and back, and hinged steel elbow
pieces and knee pieces would cover the
joints. A face mask and goggles would
complete the suit. The armor would
be light enough to afford perfect free
dom of action.

Sailed Ssh Popular Food.

How to conserve the fish supply is
one Of the subjects receiving careful
attention by the British board of trade.
in conjunction with the board of agri-
culture. One of the methods which
will probably be adopted is the drying
or sailing of much larger proportion
of the daily catch than at present, SO
as. TO prevent waste by the fish getting
out of condition. Sailed haddock are
already being placed on the market in
considerable quantities as an expert
ment. They sell at about l. cents a
pound retail and are very palatable.
One method of preparing is TO boil the
fish, throw away the water, and boil
up again, but if it is washed TO get rid
OF practically all the salt the paddock
should also be soaked in cold water for
n hours before cooking.

Sure Of Early Participation.

Within the next few weeks the
regular army is to be raised, if the
volunteer method can compass ii,
to It's full war strength of nearly
100000 men. If the volunteering shall
fail, cOnscriptive methods will be used,
but the end will be the same and the
regular force will have thousands
upon thousands of men greener than
any Guardsman who has had the state
soldiers training.
Regiments Of the National Guard
therefore, with the regulars and on
equal terms with them, probably will
find themselves on the first line of the
nations offense. The one qualification
necessary is TO say that application is
only to those Guard organizations that
are fully recruited, that have met with
the approval of the federal authorities
and that saw service on the border,
Almost unquestionably the federalized
Guard will find itself at the front as
quickly as the regulars except for
those few seasoned regiments of the
standing army which probably viii be
sent into the fight quickly
What is 1t that has made the
Guards opportunity? Two things
have worked to the end of quick serv-
ice for the federalized state troops
service on the border and the means
being taken to recruit the regular army
up to its full war strength
The new regiments for the National
army in the main part are to be built
up around a nucleus Of men of sea
sOned service, out in each organiza-
ton the recruits will outnumber the
veterans This means that it viii take
some time for most of the regiments
