Tbe Powdering Closet. When capricious fashion ruled that ladies should wear only white hair the color supplied by nature being of no importance the operation of put ting on the powder made special ar rangements necessary. These took the form of a special room or cabinet, and in every house of any pretention a rmall chamber was f et aside for the exclusive use of pow dering the hair. A curtain divided in the middle, a powdering stand to hold the bowl of powder, and possibly a stool, were all that the closet con lamed, and through this curtain the lady whore head was to be powdered protruded her head, the maid standing on the other side and "throwing" the powder at her head by means of a powder imf'b To preserve the eyes and complexion a mask was held to the face.

Tha Tariff Issue is Now Plainly Made Between The Parties. Since the days when the Federal ists and Democrats, led respectively by Hamilton and Jefferson, contend ed for supremacy in the affairs of this government, the all-important difference has been the tariff. Both parties favored a tariff for the sup port of the government, but when it came to the height to which the duties should go there was a wide divergence. The Federalists claimed that the protective principle in tbe schedule of duties was essential for the sup port of infant industries, the de velopment of resorces and the pro tection of American labor against foreign competition. It has some times been obscured by other issues such as the negro question and the money question, but the tariff is and always has been the fundament al difference between the two par ties, and a tariff embodying the principle of protection. is the chief object of contention of the Republi can party to-day. On the other hand, the Democrat ic party has maintained from the start that it was wrong to take one man and give to another. They de clare in the Baltimore platform that the Federal government under the constitution has no right or power to impose or collect tariff duties ex cept for the purpose of revenues, and they demand that "the collec tion of such taxes shall be limited to the necessities of the government honestly and economically adminis tered," Denouncing the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill and attributing to it vari ous evil consequences and denying that it affected the wages or bene fited American workmen, the Demo cratic platform favored the imme diate downward revision of duties and placing on the free list "articles entering into competition with trust controiled products and articles of American manufacture which are sold abroad more cheaply than at home." But it went on to say that the existing system is "intimately connected with the business of the country" and favored the "ultimate attainment of the principles" it ad vocates "by legislation that will not injure or destroy legitimate indus try." Here, then, is the issue squarely joined. The Republican platform favors a continuance of the present tariff policy unchanged. The Dem ocrats charge that the high tariff on the necessities of life is responsible for the hi.h cost of food and cloth ing. When stripped down to the bone and sinew this is all there is to it. Augusta Chronicle. Eniranimaiic Uneiaite; c! the Next Vice-President, Some of Marshall's sayings: Government is a necessity. It was never intended to be a luxury. If a government takes more from the taxpayer than is neeessaiy to ef fectively and economiaclly conduct its business, then "the government is a thief and we ought to call in the police. If you want to bust a trust, get a lawyer and put some fellow in the penitentiary. I believe as much as any man in vested rights, but not in vested wrongs. There is no money in honest pon tics. He who flies high in office has some one holding the string of his kite. Vox populi is vox Dei when the people know what they are talking ' Do not tell me that the humble wage earner of to-day is willing to look along the vista of the years and see nothing but a pauper's grave at the end, while a few men by legisla- Kll .'vi'tll tive enactments are enauicu w in marble halls and scatter money m ii.aiu.. like drunken dunesat ners. . . .

Oh, Mr. President, most exalted in the land, To you I now -appeal, for you hold my freedom in vour hand; Not for myself I humbly plead, but a little child, My love and care doth need. On childhood shadows leave their sad impressions. Oh, save my boy from life's most bitter lesions. Give me another chance, just one more, I pray, And with the help of God I'll put the past away. My very soul I open wide; Nothing therein do I hide. Temptation sought and found me and I've made mistakes, I know, But, oh, be merciful and your com passion show. Of Him who all things knows and. sees, I ask this boon, down on my knees. Punishment ne'er changes one's heart, Only by repentance can ad sinful ness depart. God gives to us forgivenness at any time the heart repents. Then why should man hold fast when God Himself relents? And why the waiting through the weary years so long? If God's decree be right, then surely man's is wrong. The above poem, a prison-mother's appeal for pardon probably the most novel petition for clemency ever received by a chief executive of the United States -so moved President Taft that immediately upon reading it he granted the writ er, Mrs. Mary E. Brown, her free dom. Mrs. Brown, whose home is at Salt Lake City, Utah, was convicted of engaging in white slave traffic. Behind the prison walls Mrs. Brown remembered the l.j-ycar-old boy, her onlo child, who was waiting her re lease and growing up without a mother's care. She did not employ lawyers to prepare technical papers, bui, itiopired li her iiioUu-r's love, poured out her prayer for freedom and let. her fate rest on this single effort. With the poem came a plea for clemency from the trial judge who had sentenced Mrs. Brown. lie ex-5 pressed the opinion that Mrs. Brown had been unduly influenced by the man with whom she was implicated in the crime, and vrho is now serving a seven-year sentence. At the White House and the de partment of Justice the plea w?s the object of keen interest and numer ous comments. New York Sun Gr. Wilson. The New York Sun in a recent leading editorial on "The Democra- ! tic Ticket and Caus.," pays the fol lowing splendid tribute'to our stan dard bearer, Gov. Woodrow Wilson, which is all the more noticeable, coming from such a bitter Republi can sheet: "No candidate of any party since politics began ever won in conven tion his nomination more fairly and honorably than Gov. Woodrow Wil son. He is nominated, if ever a can didate for President was, for the sole reason that he is the choice of a majority of the Democrats of the United States. "Since the convention met there could not possibly have been a more correct attitude than that which he has maintained or a more honorable, decorous and manly contest than that which has been conducted in his behalf by his managers and ad herents. His success at Baltimore is due neither to chance nor to intri gue. It is free from the slightest taint of embarassing bargain or cor rupt procurement. It has been achieved over every obstacle which honest opposition or masked jeal ousy could put in the way. Its re sults, as the record of the forty-six ballots shows beyond the possibility of dispute, and as The Sun is glad to , . morninpr, simpiy irom me n it , -mcYe justly earned increment of strength and the cumuiaiiM- i-'-c vious expediency."-F.

Victor Herbert, the musician, owiu: a six-story house up in the Seventies says the New York correspondent cf the Cincinnati Times Star. It is built tall and nsrrow, lil a well. Tlr. Her bert's music room tind study occupies the entire sixth floor, and there is no elevator. The other day one of M; Herbert's acquaintances wished to s-c him on a matter of business. "I'll be here until sharp noon," saij Mr. Herbert. "Then I must go to II 1 1 an engagement. I c:oi't wait a minute after the hour." Mr. Herbert's friend is Jbuilt a aood deal like an orange. Yiv makc-s a good deal of fuss about plain v. aKmg. Stair climbing is a thing he never does except under compulsion. Wbi ; he reached Herbert's home it was just 20 minutes of 12.

He paused at th top of the first fi ght to breathe a little wbih His pauses grew longer and more im passioned at the end cf each succeed ing fiight. When he got to the six'k floor he was just able to dab a damp hand at Herbert and sit down in a stuffed chair, and bgin to remove the evidences of Internal heat from his streaming forehead. Mr. Ileibcit pulled out his watch. "It's five minutes to 12," he sr.Id, warningly. His fat friend waved his hand him mutely, and went right on doing some of the best panting of the cur rent season. His well-padded sid: s rose and fell like a hot-air balloon jurt before the ropes are cast off. "Two minutes," said Mr. Herbert. "Uh, uh ugh," said Lis f d friend, feeling the veins in his neck thicken. "Twelve o'clock," said Mr. Herbert, snapping the cover oP his wach. "Sor ry, I must go. Good-by." Fifteen minutes later (he wraith of a fat man crept down six flights of stairs, ptandin on each landing ami holding to the banister, until his knees stopped trembling.

When t.ra valine olonrr th.-. road from Legars toward Kennelstonehead Col tages, Stiehili, Kelso, I met an ohi gentleman walking with the assistance of crutches, and a goose following r.s closely as possible behind him, avorr a writer ia the Scotsman. I stopped and spoke to the old man and the goose at oncfe took up its position be tween his leg and the crutch on the side nenrest to me. It then proceeded to make as much noise as porsib'e, and assumed all the defiant attitudes imaginable. On my approaching within a iw feet of the old man it at once flew at me, ard pecked, or rather bit, vio lently at my legs. I tried to keep it at bay by pushing it away v hh m.v feet, but that was cf no avail, r.ud 1 had ultim?ten to si like it over t n a bill with my walking stick to make !t release its hold on my tiovK-cr. 1 found out later that it had bitten r. considerable piece of skin off my leg. The old gentleman informed n o that the goose follows him wherever he goes, and during ftormy worker when he cannot venture outsile it spends ihe day at the-floor of hia cot tage or else near by. Devout Mecca PiWms. We stopped our special train yester day for an hour or two in the very middle of native Africa, and went for a morning walk. There were iroeps of natives on donkeys from tbe vil lages around coming for water 1o 1 no wells, which they themselves dig. and we talked to some delightful native boys about their lives. One boy standing by the well, to my surprise, was on his way to Mecca, having traveled already two or three thousand mPes, which had taken tvo or three years. His father Ii5d died on the way, and when I asked him how he would manage he said quietly: "God v.ill provide," and it never en tered his mind to ask me for any thing. Five minutes afterward we came across three women an old woman and two daughters. The eldest daugh ter was five and twenty. They were comiag back from Mecca, but they had started off, she said, when she was a little girl about twelve. Bishop of London iu the Treasury. Equity. Owing to the increased cost of everything, the doughnut had become too valuable to eat. Accordingly it was being financed. Naturally an enterprise of such mag nitude was fraught with more or lesi uncertainty. "How, for instance," the underwriters asked, "about the hole is it to be financed, too?" So the courts were appealed to. "The hole," these decided, after three or four years, "is the equity, and as such it msv not be financed." . U. S.

For h number of years the Kornegay wo man had been gathering children from the homes of poor people, un der the pretext of takeng care of them at an orphan's home she was running.
