SENATOR SMOOT SEES RUIN IN NEW TARIFF Utah Solon Paints Dismal Pic- ture In Speech, ‘Washington, July 22.—Asserting that a foreign “lobby” had influenced the Democrats in framing the Underwood- Simmons tariff bill, Senator Smoot, Republican member of the finance committee, delivered a vigorous attack on the measure. He painted a picture of mills shut down, workmen unem- ployed, investors ruined and an era of general financial and industrial depres- slon as the result of the leveling of tariff walls. “There has been a lobby here in be- half of forelgn manufacturers,” he charged, “such as was never before witnessed In the history of the nation, and they have got even more than Head of Children's Bureau Deplores Baby Show Prizes, they asked for. The Italian chamber of commerce of New York asked for certain reductions and the Democrats _ | in nearly every case have given them more than they asked.” The senator assailed the increase in the free list, especially with reference to sugar, wool, pig iron and textiles. He charged that the sugar industry of Hawall and Porto Rico would be ruined, with comsequent benefits to the so called sugar trust, and that China, with its great steel plants, would capture the steel business of the Western hemisphere. hobohbdde kb b ddeodh e POISON DOG; THEN ROB STORE. Chicago, July 22—Thieves tossed poisoned meat to a sav- age dog guarding Lande Bros.’ store on the North Side and ‘when the animal became help- less they broke into the place- and obtained goods worth $800.

London, July 22.—The new Bulgarian cabinet under M. Radoslavoff formally notified the European powers of its readiness to order the cessation of hostilitles immediately if the powers can induce Servia and Greece to take a similar course. WALKS INTO BULLET'S PATH Wisconsin Girl Is Shot by Child Play- ing With Rifie. Marinette, Wis., July 22.—When she went to the home of K. C. Knutson, next door, to get a key she had left there, Malvina Nyberg, fourteen yecrs old, was shot through the head and possibly fatally injured. As the girl entered the house the shot was accidentally fired by Louis ‘Knutson, aged six years, who had found a small rifie and was fingering the trigmer. Burglars Kill Policeman. New York, July 22.—John Cahill, a policeman, was murdered, probably by burglars whom he surprised in an attempt to break into the rectory of St. Matthew’s Catholic church in Brooklyn. The marks of the burglar’s #immy were found on the door of the rectory. The thieves were supposed to be after a special collection taken up at the church. Cahill was stabbed CONDEMNED AS UNSCIENTIFIC Miss Lathrop Says Baby Shows Should Be Consigned to Past. ‘Washington, July 22.—Prizes for the most perfect babies at baby shows are condemned as unscientific by Miss Julia C. Lathrop of Chicago, director of the federal children’s bureau. “At a recent agricultural fair,” said Miss Lathrop, “the managers explain- ed that they offered prizes for the ba- bies because they offered prizes for the pigs, and thought they ought to do as much for the babies, Now, ba- bies and pigs are not in the same class, and offerng a prize for a pig is the very reason for a different treat ment of babies. “The old fashioned baby show, with its crowded publicity, its prizes and its maternal heartburnings, should be consigned to the past. “Certificates awarded to mothers ‘who care most efficently for their ba- bies should replace the prizes. Many a mother who, through luck, is blessed with a healthy baby, deserves less credit than a careful mother who, through carefully observing rules of feeding, develops a sickly baby into a healthy child.” SERVIANS CHARGED WITH CRUELTIES Thousands of Albanians With- out Food or Shelter, New York, July 22.—A private mes- sage received by Rev. George Otis Dwight, secretary of the American Bible soclety, from an American mis- slonary now making his way from Scutari into the devastated regions of Albania, says that the Servians are engaged in what is there believed to be an attempt to -exterminate the population of several of the Albanian districts. Guards from the Servian army, the message says, are patrolling territory definitely assigned to Albania at a distance of as much as twenty-five miles from the boundary to prevent any one getting out of or going into the region. Thousands of refugees are In the mountains without food or shelter, expatriated and starving, feed- ing on roots, grass, bark and twigs. “I found near Leah,” said the mis- sionary, “and all the way from Scu- " That i lessny S sl lm host of other ailments which should be eliminated in Justice to the new life about to be ushered into this world.

Diarrhea in the older stock is us- ually due to-rich feed; more succu- lent feed than the animal is ac- customed to; unwise use of strong physics; stagnant or foul drinking water; short grass on sandy pastures, so that the animal swallows consid- erable sand; mouldy feed, particular- ly corn; or too many raw potatoes. A mild form of chronic diarrhea is sometimes seen in horses of rather loose conformation. In these latter cases the diarrhea is brought on by active exercise and disappears more or less entirely when the animal is standing In the stable. WUST NOT “PUFF” TOO HIGHLY -| knowledge whatever gt its_condition, lowa Supreme Court Hands Down an Opinion of Some Interest to Real Estate Men. The legal view of “puffing” in the sale of real estate is expressed by the supreme court of Iowa in Wakefield vs. Coleman, in which the court rules that language which -might be considered expressions of opinion or mere puffing will often amount to representations or warranties when the property is at a distance and the buyer relles on the seller for the facts. The court, in re- versing a judgment of the trial court dismissing a complaint to set aside a contract for the sale of real estate, sald: “It is quite likely that the court below reached its conclusion upon the theory that Coleman’s statements were within the limits of the allowable of opinion, in which a seller may indulge posed to be sold without becoming li- able for false or fraudulent representa- tions; but we think the circumstances here appearing will not justify the application of that rule. The prop- erty he was offering to sell was in a distant state. Not one of the pur- chasers had ever seen or had any quality or value. Language which might well pass as expressions of opin- ion or words of mere praise were the property present, in view of both buy- er and seller, will often amount to rep- resentation or warranty when the prop- erty 18 at a distance and the buyer must rely upon the eeller for the facts.” GOOD QUALITIES DYING OUT? Men In High Position Declare- Senti- mentalism of Present Day Is Fast Leading to Decay. Cardinal Bourne, Roman _Catholic archbishop of Westminster, England, in a recent sermon favored enforced military service for all men over twen. ty-one who had not, prior to attaining that age, trained to a required stand- ard of physical manhood. The Amer} can Army and Navy Journal, in a striking editorfal deprecating the sen- timentalism of the times, quotes Doc- tor Inge, dean of St. Paul's Cathedral, London, as follows: “The modern Englishman is an in. corrigible sentimentalist in religion, in politics, in charity and everything else, and like all sentimentalists he hates doing or witnessing anything painful, He is fast coming to think all punish- ments unjustifiable and he sheds maud lin tears over the wastrel and the criminal.” The Journal applles the same state ment to affairs in America, and with good reason. Luxury is become com- mon and hardship unusual. The hardy ploneer of the west has practically djs- appeared with the wiping out of the frontier. The trend to the cities with their enervating luxuries and licenses is more pronounced. The luxury, softness and sentiment: alism of the age are sapping its man- hood. : The Journal quotes Price Collier, writing in Scribner’s, in which he fa- vors for the United States the en torced military service of Germany. Electric Bath Preserves Wood. A French process of “electrocut ing” timber is declared to give per fect easoning in a single night. With lead-plate electrodes on each side, the timber is placed in a solution cons taining ten per cent. of borax, 5 per cent. of resin and a little soda; and wpplication of the current expels the eap and fills the wood cells with the borax and resin. Dance Reflects Its Perlod. The dancing masters who attended the annual convention of the Ameri can National Association of Dancing at Asbury Park were dlvided in opin: fon as to the future ot the popula: dance, novelties. “Dances,” one expert said, ‘have always reflected the age of their birth. The minuet was timely in its day, and it gave way to the more rapid quadrille. - The polka and. walts held out until thé two-step made thefh appear old-fashioned, and ft was only natural that a time like this, with cus. tome and ideas which would haye’ been impossible in the days of the quiet dance, should have produced the | various new dance moyements.

LAURELS WERE WITH UMPIRE Sarcastic Remark for Which “Kick: Ing” Player Guilty of Bad En ror Had No Retort. Sherwood Magee was still harping on a close decision which Umpire Bill Klem nad given against the Phil- lies in an early inning, when another close play came in the fifth. Again the opposing team was favored. T “That’s two you gave them, Bill," Magee shot at Klem. The game raged along so close a run would have decided the 1issue either way. One of the opposing bat- ters lifted a fly to left. There were two on the bases. Magee played the lck poorly, and mufed the ball. The two baserunners crossed the plate with what proved to be the winning runs. Magee trled, to avold Klem as he walked to the bench after the inning, but Bill was alert. He sauntered close to Magee and sald: “I”didn’t giye them those two, did 1?” 3 8ea Water for London, A gigantic pcheme for supplying London with gea water direct by means with a pipeline from the east coast i8 to come before: parliament. The promoters depend to some extent upon the co-operation of the borough councils, which, it i8 expected, will contract for supplies of sea water for use In swimming and private baths, and‘in some cases their support has already been promised. The elaborate plans include the establishment of a first-class hydro in a fashionable part of Londor. A newspaper representa- tive was told by one of the originators of the scheme that the engineers, satis- fled from the outset as to its practic- ability, now state that all the difficul- tles have been overcome. The cost has been estimated at between £600, 000 and £750,000, and it is further. more stated that the support already received by the project justifies the decision to bring a bill before parlia. ment, Mixsd Metaphor. “Sir Arthur'T. Quiller-Couch, since he accepted the chair of English liter- ature at Cambridge, has blessomed out as a very:witty lecturer,” saild a man who knows him, “I attended one of Q’s lectures the last time I was at Cambridge. I still remember an_anecdote wherewith he illustrated the rottenness of fancy his falutin writing. “He condemned first the fancy phrases so common in the magazines and popular novels—and then he said that these phrases were as absurd to cultivated ears as the telegrams that the babu sent from Bombay to an- nounce the death of his mother. “The babu's telegram ran: ‘Regret to announce that hand Wwhich rocked the cradle has kicked the bucket.’” No- More Use for the Ax. For some time there has been in more or less limited use a system of felling trees by which a heated wire is drawn across: the trunk and grad- ually eats its ‘way through. An im- provement on this has been patented recently, in which the necessary heat i8 generated by the passage of the wire back and forth over the tree trunk. In order to increase the heat the wire is slightly roughened, and this also assists in tearing away the fiber of the wood, facilijating the pas- sage of the wire. The new scheme is Just as rapid as the older one, and a great improvement on the use of the Sime-honored ax. 8igns Show Wares for 8 An Indian custom. which adds a pleturesque touch to the roadsides be- tween Cuzco sand Machu Picchu, in Peru, 18 the presence of quaint signs indicating what is for sale in the In- dian’ huts. A small bunch of wheat or barley tied on the end of a pole and stuck out in front of the hut in- dicates that there is chica (a native corn beer) for sale within. A bunch of flowers. on end of a pole also has the.same significance. A green wreath means’ that there is bread for sale, while a plece of white cloth or . wayfarer may hers purchase aguardiente, white rum mad Amazing Figures - It is stated unofficially that we pay $750,000,000 annually for the chickens and eggs consumed and that New York city alone spends more than $48,000,000 for poultry and eggs. Next to the cow, the hen is the highest sal- aried farm employe we have, exceed- ing even the carnings of the , sheep and the horse so far as the products are concerned. Bx-Secretary of Agri- culture Wilson officially put the hea's products at ~ $3,000,000,000, but ot course he did not ‘get anything like full returns. Taking the $8,000,000, 000 as a basis, it is three times as much as we spent on our whole navy, and six months return would pay for the Panama canal. In three years it would wipe ,out the national debt. ‘What we spend for hen products in a single day would build the congres. slonal library, Coal 8moke and Health, ' The medical officer of health for Manchester, England, presents evi dence to show that the working life of the people of that city is shortened ten years by the acids in smoke and the carbon particles which invade the lungs. Surgeon J. W. Stonmer, of the United States public health service, traces a connection between a smoky atmosphere and the drinking habits of the people. Women lving in sun- less, gloomy homes, attired in som- ber clothes, breathing a smoke-filled atmosphere, are prone to be irritable, to scold and whip their children and to nag their husbands who flee to the saloon for solace and relief. Surgeon Stoner is also of the epinion that children reared in a depressing at- mosphere are dull, apathetic and even criminally inclined. The smoke prob- lem is still important. England’s “Cowslip-Time.” This is cowslip-time, which also means pudding-time for the families of farm laborers in the rural districts of Essex. There the fragrant flowers, seldom seen for sale in London be cause they fade so quickly, are not called cowslips, but bear the quaint old English name of “paigles.” They are rarely made into the wine so popu- lar in the west country, but the petals are picked, dried, mixed with flour, and made Into puddings. These “paigle puddings” furnish a welcome annual Sunday treat for the clever financiers who contrive to bring up a dozen children on the weekly wage of a dozen shillings. Cowslips, unlike their poisonous primrose cousins, are quite wholesome, and possess powerful sedative qualities.—London Chronicle, Rock Cannon. ‘When the island of ‘Malta was un der the rule of the Knights of St. John they defended their fortifications with cannon bored in the living rock. Each one of these strange weapons contained an entire barrel of powder, and as it was not possible to vary the aim of these cannon 50 were made ready, faeing various direetions from which the enemy might approach. ‘When the fame of these arms of de- fence became known to the world the idea was taken up of transporting Tocks to summits to serve the same purpose; but it was soon recognized to be impracticable, and the cannon of Malta, bored in solid rock, have passed into history as the sole weap- ons of the kind ever known.—Har- per's Weekly, Catching Fish With Dynamite, In many countries of the east where fish is the staple article of diet it is caught in large quantities with the help of dynamite. To each stick of dynamite is attached a fuse which is fired and then thrown into the water. The force of the explosion Which fol- lows stuns the fish, which rise in large quantities to the surface, then the natives wade into the water and catch them easily in their hands. As very often the larger fish are only partially stunned, however, upon beina seized they will often inflict severe bites upon their captors, so that dyna mite fishing is not without its excit¢ ment in more ways than one. Superior Waterproof Coat. There is probably no more imper ‘vious, serviceable waterproof than the raincoats and cloaks of Mitsumata paper made from the leaves and stems of a small shrub which grows in the mountains of Japan. Until one of the experts of the department of agriculture discovered it a few years ago its existence was unknown to the outside world. Even now but little is known of 1t except that the plant has thrived in some mountainous portions of the United States; and further that the method of manufacturing the pa- ver is orud New Explosive Beats Dynamite. Important results are expected of the remarkable discovery by a pro- fessor of the College de France, of a new explosive, ten times more pow- erful than dynamite, which has just been made public at Leraure. It gets its force from the Iliquefaction of gases. Darsonvillite, as it probably will be called, oconsists simply of a mixture of lampblack and liquid gas. Experiments made with it in quarries near Paris are sald to have given verfectly satisfactory results. Dental Corps In Navy.
