Mr. Nagle slippéd and both feet went out from under him. He feil and the butt of his shotgun struck the fcy sue- face of 1§ ground.

The results of the vote are being sent to the president and his cabinet, to mem- berg of congress and various organiza- tions and individuals throughout the country. The membership of the chamber Is made up of chambers of commerce, own- ers of public utilitles, manufacturers, merchants, farmers, Insurance men, bankers and miscellaneous citizens and concerns. On the straight questfon, “In levying a tariff on merchandise imported into the United "States, do you favor an { American Valuation thereof as a basis?” the vote #p date ig “Yes” 308, “No” 11. The members were also asked to Indicate thelr choice of plans in ths following questions: “If so, do you prefer: (a) The Fordney bill plan of American Val-* uation; (b) the plan of the Smoot amendments; (¢) the ‘Connectlcut Plan.’” In the replies, 87 favor the Ford- ney Bill plan, § favor the Smoot amend- ments and' 215 favor the Connecticut plan. Both the Fordney plan and the Con- necticut plan provide for out-and-out American Valuation, as applled to all ad valorem dutles. The -Smoot amendments would apply the American Valuation plan only to those cases where the pres- ident proclaims it. The Connecticut plan differs from that of the Fordney Bill by providing that, after congress has “peg- ged” the rate on each article on an American Valuationa basis, the presi- dent, probably acting through a com- mission, shall have power to vary the rates of duty whenever fluctuations in exchange rateg or other conditions ren- der it desirable. Of ‘those voting against American val- uatfon, one Is a manufacturing concern, one the proprietor of a girls’ school, one the president of a printing house, three are merchants, and five are Insurance men. Those voting In favor of American vafuation are drawn from all classes, manufacturers and owners of fmblic util- ities predominating. Party Fnes are not cbsertvable In the results, democrats vot- ing for the plan and republicans against it. George B. Chandler, secretary of the chamber stated that the form of the Con- necticut referendum had received rauch commendation and numerous calls for sample coples had been recetved. “There said he, “a good deal of dis- satisfaction with the form cf the refer- iendum of the chamber of commerce of |the United States on this subject. It is objected to becauss a negatlve vote is necessary to sustain an affirmative pro- position, because the American valuation feature s more or less obscured by other issues, and especlally because all refer- ence to the outstanding fact of German fmportations. is somewhat too obvlously omitted.” MUSIC ENTERTAINED PATIENTS AT THE BACKUS HOSPITAL Under the auspices of Rainbow circle of the King’s Daughters, with Mrs. John C.

TROUBLE WITH SEEDS Wili-wili seeds when made into beads and imported into the United States, bid fair to cause the writing of briefs and much legal argument, be- cause the Treasury and the importers {annot agree about the proper amount |of duty, says the Nation's Business. These seeds are only one of the oddi- ties that the customs men encounter but ordinary people do not meet in their every-day humdrum. Not long ago three dignitaries listened to argu- ments from lawyers about canned lo- tus seed and, undoubtedly to the hor- ror of the shades of longdeparted lo- tus aters, pronounced the article before the court as - “prepared vegetables.” Sliced deer horn is apparently not for eating but for mixing into a medicins with roots such as “Wai Sam, Fong On, and Cock Kay.” The tastes of the residnts of the forty-eight States are so diverse and so unaccountable that a customs man expects a surprise ev- |ery day. At least, that is the conclu- ion reached at considerable expense to the United States Treasury. FATE OF PINS By a series of experiments conduct- ed in his garden a scientist has dis- covered that pins go the way of all things and are resolved into dust. days, disappeared at the end of that time, having been resolved into a fer- rous oxide, a brownish rust, which was blown away by the wind. Bright pins took nearly eighteen months to disappear; polished steel needles nearly two years and a half; brass pins had little endurance; steel pens at the end of fifteen months had nearly gone, while their wooden hold- ers were still intact. Pencils, with which the sgientist al- so experimented, suffered littie by ex- posure; the lead was unharmed and the cedar almost as good as new; but then, nobody had ever asked ithe ques- tion about pencils, and he might have spared his paiis.—Kansas City Star. Story of a Cow and a Watch A correspondent furnishes the following story: “Seven years ago a farmer hung his vest on a fence in the oarnyard. A calf chewed up a pocket in the garment in which was a standard gold watch. Last week the animal a stald old milk cow, was butchered for beef and the time piece was found in such a position between the lumes of the cow that the resniration—the clos- ing in and the filling of the lungs—kept the stem winder wound up and the watch had jost but four minutes in seven years."— Medina (O.) Sentinel. . Compulsory Church Attendance The air is full of legislative pro- Jects that are good to avoid. * * * Laws like one now sought by an esti- mable petitioner, to compel universal church attendance; all such measures and propositions, even when technical- ly within the letter of constitutionality, are so contrary to the spirit of Ameri- canism that only an emergency or some special and overpowering reason of state should gain them a welcome hearing.—Boston Transcript.

Cheap Light, Science and invention describes a recent achievement of a French scientist, who has successfully tried out in his own house a scheme for operating electric lights without cost. Upon his water supply pipe he hag fitted a high speed water turbine, which drives a dynamo charging a storage battery. Every time a faucet is turned on in the house the stream of water is put to work at loading the battery -which furnishes current for the lights. “It is simply utilizing energy that is ordinarily wasted,” says the inventor.

It is sard that the largest jewfish ever caught in the Gulf of Mexico was six feet long, eight feet in ecircum- ference just back of the gills, and weighed 348 pounds. The origin of the name jewfish is somewhat in doubs The only explanation advanced 1is given by Dampier, in his “Voyages,” written in 1720. He wrote: “The Jew- fish is a very. good fish, and I judge so- called by the English because it hath scales and fins, therefore a clean fish, according te the Levitical law.” -_— The Amethyst in “Revelations.™ The Bible contains references te the amethyst.
