The Maidstone (England) board of guardians was recently astonished to receive a request for a pair of spectacles from "Mark Twain." The clerk ex- j plained that the writer of the letter was not the famous author of"The Innocents Abroad" and "Huckleberry Finn," but a pauper inmate of the workhouse. Prob ably no other person in tiie world bears the name adopted by Mr. Clemens from a Mississippi steamboat phrase. Canned Fruit Desserts. Canned fruits may be used for des serts in many ways. The juice in the tan should be heavily sweetened and boiled down to a syrup. This makes the fruit richer. Common canned peaches heated in a thick syrup and served with i ream are very good in deed. Canned raspberries make a de licious Bavarian cream or charlotte russe.—N. V. Post. Sweet Green Tomato Picallily. Have ready one peck of green toma toes; to which add six tablespoonfuls of mustard ground; a half pint of mustard seed, a tablespoonful each of cloves and cinnamon; one pound of brown sugar, three celery tops and three quarts of vinegar. Let al! boil slowly for one hour. The tomatoes should be peeled and stlced. Boil al! together.—Chicago Post. Dogs with Coats of Mail. An armored coat for dogs t< j serve as a protection against motor cars, has been invented by a New Yorker. The coat is studded with sharp steel points, like a steel hedgehog. If the armored dog is run into by a motor car the sharp points puncture the tire, and the consequent rush of released air blows the dog out ol danger.

The only newspaper in England that es Moines Capital. But what if the United States Iron & Steel company were driven to the wall, resulting in a collapse of everything connected with its business? There would probably be a general panic in the United States, such as the country had not had since 1803. The stock of the company are much below par, demonstrating thodiffi culty of paying dividends on an over capitalization. But suppose overcapitalization were sufficient ground for assault ing business. How many institutions would have to go? Take it locally in lowa and if every corporation doing business on fic titious capital were compelled togo out of business, how many corporations would be left and what would become of some of the newspapers owned by cor pora* ie»ns? The president and congress realize the difficulties in the way of tariff changes. therefore they are not much ex cited on the subject. All the tariff rip pers who have visited Washington have returned somewhat discouraged at the outlook. Foss, it is true, returned to Massachusetts and pave out a story about what the president said, but the country is used to Foss' he)tair. Let the Farmer Alone. The Waterbury Republican, while pro fessing devotion to the general policy of protection, wants to know why the farmers of the United States should be protected. We can think of many an swers to that question, but the answer that seems to fit the present case best is that when protection shall have been withdrawn from the American farmer it will also be withdrawn from the Ameri can manufacturer. Enforce the Water bury idea by exposing the farmers to the competition of cheaper imports ot foodstuffs and how long will Waterbury retain protection for its clocks and watches? Not four years. Best not try any experiments with the American farmers. —American Economist.

Commissioner of Labor Says the Char acter of the Mobs that Conducted Deportations Was Such as to Dis gust the Best People of the State Washington, Jan. 28. —President Roosevelt sent to the senate yester day the report of Carroll D. Wright, commissioner of labe>r, on the strike troubles in Colorado. The report gives an entire history of the labor troubles in that state. Commissioner Wright says there can be no doubt the cause of the strike was to establish the Western Federation of Miners in the smelters, including reduction and refining mills, as it already had been established in the mines. In summing up the situation, the commissioner says: "Lawlessness accompanied the strike as a labor weapon, and it accompanied the ac tions of the alleged law and order ele ment as a weapon against the strik ers. "The faults in the organization of the union, by allowing strikes to be determined by a committee instead of by a referendum, and the faults in the organization of the Citizens' Alliance, by allowing irresponsible mobs to represent it, have disturbed the peace of the counties in Colorado in which the conflict had been waged to such an extent that people outside of Colo rado wonder if there is any law or any law abiding citizens in that state. It is a fact, however, that order is be ing restored, for there is a third party now interested which is claiming the adherence of the best elements in Colorado, and it is insisting that de portations, whether by the Western Federation of Miners, or under the in structions of the Mine Owners' asso ciation or Citizens' Alliance, shall cease." BUSINESS BULLETIN. Storms at Home and Complications Abroad Check Activity in Trade. New York, Jan. 28. —R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Storms at home and complications abroad tended to check activity in commercial and financial markets, but most industrial lines continue busy, testifying to confidence that trade in terruption will be brief.

Production of pig iron continues at the maximum rate, yet there is no evidence of a reaction. Ample water supply has made it possible to main tain Connellsville coke production at the remarkable average of 300,000 tons weekly. Failures this week numbered 305 in the United States, against 302 last year, and 43 in Canada, compared with 2S a year ago. DEVELOPED GREAT SPEED.
