The reason a kettle "sings" is a very simple one. As the water gets hot little hubbies of steam are found at the bottom of the kettle. These in their rush upward strike the sides of ihe kettle and set the metal it is made of in vibration, thus causing the humming sound we call singing. You will notice a copper kettle, which has thin sides, will make a much louder and more musical note than a com mon iron kettle. Not Proper Comparison. The old darky had driven his fare to the hotel and was now demanding a dollar for his service. "What!" pro tested the passenger, "a dollar for that distance? Why, it isn't half a mile as the crow flies." "Dat's true boss," re turned Sambo, with an appealing smile, "but y' see. sub, dat old crow he ain't got free wives an' ten chilluns to suppoht not to mention de keep foh de hoss." Daysey's Exclusive Illness. A sickness which attacked Daysey Mayme last week is said by her physi cian to be muffitis.

Properties of Steel. Steel is a true alloy, containing several foreign elements. Here, as in iron, the special values of the differ ent steels depend on the nature and proportion of those elements. Steel may be had as soft as the softest irons. Gentle Hint. The Girl. —"You're not a bit like a lover. You never say pretty things."

Textiles may be rendered fireproof, according to the Paris board of fire commissioners, by steeping them in a 10 per cent solution of phosphate of ammonia, then drying them in the open air. Your Stomach—and Your Wife. When a man has trouble with his stomach, it is due to one of two causes: Kither his wife is such a good cook she is stuffing him, or she is such a poor one she is starving him. —Atchinson (Kan.)

Punctuality, assiduity, economy, in genuity, interest in our tasks; these may be described as commonplace vir tues, but they are certainly not vir tues absolutely common. Making Him Feel at Htme. "But why do your put your friend's things in the dining room?" "Oh, he Is so used to restaurants that he won't enjoy his dinner unless he can watch his hat and coat." Quite So. "You Haiaerlcans say we 'ave no "nraor," said the loyal Britisher, "but I'll 'ave you understand, sir, that Hing lish jokes are not to be laughed at!" —Everybody's. Sounds Likely. Our idea of a great financier is a man who worries more about the price of call money than he does about the price of pork chops. Getting the Worst from Life.

Characteristic of Democratic States manship an Evidence of Why the Country Fears to Trust the Party. There is an ancient belief that truth and figures are closely related. It Is characteristic of Democratic states manship that it is unable to compre hend either. Congressman Rucker of Missouri has been burrowing through the new tariff law loking for instru ments vjl anathema, and he has be come entangled in the multitudinous arithmetic of tariff schedules even as a fat shoat in the intricacies of a barbed-wire fence. All tariff laws, whether low or high, are necessarily sprinkled with numbers, and \he ability to calculate that twice one Is two is essential to their understand ing. Far be it from us to insinuate that Mr. Rucker is lacking in mathe matical perspicacity, but when he arises in congress and declares that the Republican party is unfairly dis criminating against the poor in the matter of blankets we are compelled to suspect that a deficiency exists. "The cheaper the blanket the higher the rate of tariff," he cries. "The rich who buy high-priced blankets, pay only 71 per cent., while the poor, who buy the cheapest blankets or none, are cotnpel'ed to give 165 per cent, ad valorem to appease the insatiate ap petite for greed. By the use of the taxing power of government the Re publican party has practically ex cluded blankets from the homes of the poor and robbed millions of good citizens of one of the comforts of life." U —r-r! and it's such a cold winter, too! It would be serious if it were true It would be funny if It were not for the serious fact that many people, lacking the means of accurate knowledge, will believe him. And now. what is the truth? The blanket schedule of the present tariff law provides for a duty of 22 cent per pound and 30 per cent, ad valorem on blankets valued at not more than 40 cents per pound; of 33 cents per pound and 35 per cent, ad valorem on blankets valued at more than 40 cents and not more than 50 cents per pound; of 33 cents per pound and 40 per cent, ad valorem on blankets valued at more than 50 cents per pound. That, in brief, is the pro vision o. the only schedule in the law applying to blankets, and it is practi cally identical with the same schedule of the McKinley and Dingley tariff laws. It needs no profound knowl edge of arithmetic to see that Mr. Rucker's statement is not only un true but is at the opposite pole from truth. Instead oi "the cheaper the blanket the higher the rate of tariff," as he proclaims, the lowest duty is levied on the cheapest blankets and the duty rises with the value, as, of course, it should. It is said in Holy Writ that you cannot make bricks without straw. Mr. Rucker should know that a little clay also is neces sary, especially when his bricks are made lor projectile purposes.—St. Louis Giobe-Democrat. Let the Party Stand for Justice. The sugar trust has confessed its complicity in the huge weighing frauds and returned $2,000,000 of the stolen money to the government. The total amount of its stealings has never been authoritatively stated. The Sun fixes it at $30,000,000. This systema tized robbery went on for years, but o high official, no director of the trust, has been indicted for conspiring to defraud the government. Does any Intelligent man believe that thievery on such a gigantic scale could exist for the profit of the trust without the facts being known to responsible of ficials? A congressional committee would not be hampered by the statute of limitations. It could follow the trail of corruption back to its source and expose the system from Its begin nings. It could make known the in fluences that have protected the sugar trust in Its criminal operations and make public the history of its rela tions with the government. Such work, undertaken in the spirit of the Hughes insurance investigation, might produce equally important re sults in the way of purifying politics and purging a corrupt commerce.— New York Sun. For Bureau of Mines. The miners are pushing the bill for the creation of a bureau of mines, which passed the house and is now in the senate. There can be no ob jection to it The bureau is not given regulative powers, but is charged with the duty of making scientific investi gation into all the phases of mining, including the causes of accidents and methods of prevention. It is an ef fort to have the general government do for the mining industry what it has for a long time been doing for the agricultural in the way of scientific investigation. Legislation to render the discoveiies and recommendations of the bureau oi value would have to ' be done by the individual states. Deep Channel Sure to Ee. The victory of the supporters of the waterway project in the house is the most gratifying incident of the cam paign for a deep channel It presages a victory all along the line. The chief danger is the possibility of the sen ate killing the entire appropriation bill as a measure of fake economy ' for campaign effect, but there may be j enough pork barrel £k it to prevent ! this assassination. St. Louis Star. | CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 1910 COUNTRY IS BEHIND BILL Administration's Measure Has the B' cklng of the Voters of the Nation. According to a number of reports and indications, the raiiroail corpora tions of the country will not seriously oppose the administration's bill ex tending the powers of the commerce commission and providing fo~ the con trol of railroad finance. Only one road was represented at the general hear ing by (he house committee. There will be no lobbying; the railroads will abide by Ihe logic of events. There Is excel'ent sense In the posi tion taken by the railroad men. The bill is uelng carefully considered, and It will be duly debated on the floor of the senate and house. Amendments of importance have been and will be offered, some concessions have been made, but the party and the adminis tration are ccmmltted to a measure "clinching," extending and improving the Hepburn rate act, which, as all recogime, has merely produced num berless lawsuits by its provisions for regulating charges upon complaint. To fight the essential features of the administration bill would be to furnish ammunition to the advocates of even more drastic legislation. More over, the failure of the cardinal meas ures ot the Republican party, and a do-nothing session generally, would al most certainly result In the election of a "'•aclical" house next fall. Reac tion is ltnposible with public senti ment as it is. and stagnation would simply be regarded as reaction play ing for delay. In a well-considered, reasonable railroad bill there Is no danger to rail road prosperity, and practical pru dence dictates the cheerful acceptance of such a measure. No Popular Demand for Economy. The drop in government revenues following the panic of 1907 induced congress togo as far as it ever goes in the direction of economy. It re quested the president and heads of departments to cut down estimates in the future. They have done so for the next fiscal year. The president having Indicated that money can be saved here and there, the house of representatives promptly proceeds to appropriate for other pur poses the sums thus saved and a little more. It has passed a $415,000,000 riv ers and harbors bill. The senate committee which has it in hand is disposed to add $5,000,000 to the bill. It. remains to be seen whether Sena tor Aldrich, who says the government Is spending too much, will stop this raid on the treasury. There are men In congress who, tak ing their cue from railroads and other concerns which need supervision, pro test in the name of economy against the useful outlay such supervision would entail. Hut of real economists who would stop unprofitable expendi tures there are few and they have no popular backing. Neither a billion dollar congress nor a billion dollar session provokes a popular remon strance, and yet the people have to pay the bills. In one way or another the government collects from them the money which congress distributes with liberal hands. The people complain of high prices and inadequate incomes, without rea lizing how much the situation is ag gravated by the vast expenditures of the national government. If it were to take less from them they would have more money to spend. If they couid be made to see that, congress would suddenly become economical. Public sentiment would demand It. That sentiment Is lacking and hence there will be no economy in appropri ations. Congress will appropriate all the money in sight and some more. Alaska's Need. The kind of government needed fo» Alaska is that the senate bill would give. It authorizes the president to appoint a legislative council of eleven, eight of them to be residents of Alas ka. There would be in addition a governor, attorney general and com missioner of the interior and of mines. This council would have certain legis lative powers, including the granting of franchises, but all Its acts would be revocable by congress. Appointive Council Best. Government by the executive through an appointive council Is the best form of government for Alaska now. as it was for Louisiana when first acquired. Then it would be pos sible to fix the responsibility if any thing went wrong. That Is impos sible now, though many things have gone wrong at one lime and another. Senator Heverldge should pick up the forsaken, forlorn Alaska bill and have the senate vote on it. Only One Question Necessary. The conversation had languished for a moment or two. "Have you heard of the civil-service examination for ambassadors?" I.i- the man with the fur cm * 1.1 >vercoat collar. "No." replied the man next the car window, "1 haven't heard of it. Are they examining 'em now?" "Yes. They ask 'em just one ques tion." "Only one question? What's that?" " 'Are you a multimillionaire and a free spender?' " President Is Prepared. In iiia New York speech President Taft showed that he is prepared to expound (lie new tariff with facts and figures Those who attack it vaguely should steer clear of the president's exact information. Costumes in Fashion On the left Is a long coat of gray cloth, trimmed with darker shade of braid—black velvet toque with gray, green and black aigrette. The second is a blue serge tailored suit, with collar and buttons of black satin, large black hat, with blue plumes. TYPE OF SPRING MILLINERY Hat with High Gathered Crown Most Elaborately and Becomingly T rimmed. Among the early spring models Is a comfortable hat, becoming and well fitting, made with a high gathered crown held out with an inner one of book muslin, and a fluted brim of soft moire. This does not hang around the face, but is made double and has enough thickness to hold it in posi tion. About the high crown Is tied a wide scarf of soft satin ribbon. When black is used for the hat then one of the new light blues Is used for the scarf. Silver and gold gauze are also tied around instead of ribbon and end In a line, careless bow in front. The expensive models show this hat with a crown of lace moire shot with blue, pink, and green and lined with chiffon or gauze to match the color of the scarf. COAT FOR MATRCN. This is made in black face cloth, and is a simple sacque shape, a style which matrons always find so useful. The loose bishop sleeve is set to a turn-back cuff of cloth, braided light ly at (be edge, the collar being braid ed to match. Honnet of black crinoline trimmed with ostrich tips and black satiu rib bon. Materials required: Three yards cloth -IS inches wide. 1 dozen yards braid. Keeping Faucets Bright. In the bathroom the nickel faucets can be kept bright as new indefinite ly if irequc.'Hy washed and given a brisk rub daily when the room Is set in order A clean cheesecloth dust «r serves this purpose specially well. I TIGHT SKIRT NOT GRACEFUL Mistake Made In Carrying the Fash, ion of the Moment to Undue Length. A grave protest should be made against the skirt that Is narrow at its best and tied in Just above the ankles at its worst. 11 should be condemned and dis carded by every woman who consid ers personal comfort and a graceful appearance. There is an Independent quality of American women that re fuses to walk with knees pressed together and a hampered Japanese manner of taking liny steps. After all, there is a great artistic delight in a flowing skirt that follows in soft, sinuous lines the motions of the figures In Pails and London women have accepted the inhibition of easy, grace ful motion, but It Is to be hoped that our fair ones will in some usual and clever way attain the best of these suggestions and at the same time keep the senseless tyranny at arm's lerieth. Of Craft Cloth. The portiere may be mere play and altogether possible to the veriest ama teur if some simple idea be carried out. Make it of arts and crafts cloth In a soft, natural tone, and after it is hemmed with silk to match It work a row of simple trees one above an other down the length of the hanging along one of its selvages. Not in elaborate embroidery, but in the coarsest of cross-stitching done in worsted yarn, and in a combination of dusky green and blue shades, each so dull as to melt, into one another. Again, If a one toned curtain be de sirable, choose an Indian red. dull brown or blue, and using the coarse worsted yarn, hemstitch a broad hem along a very open line which you have drawn, or overcast the hem in coarse hemming stitches a quarter of an inch in length. Necessary Gowns. A modiste claims that three dresses a season are sufficient for the aver age woman, citing the ever useful tailormade, a calling gown for after noon wear and decollete for evening wear. This might do in a case of necessity, hut. no society woman can g< j t along with one evening dress for an entire season any more than she can get along with one pair of gloves. A woman moving in a circle of well dressed women must dress equally well or else step down and out. Her dress must be good, stylish and notlce ifcble. Dress does not make the wom an, but it most asuredly does make her place y. * a I Western Cunnda.
