Washington, June 29.-In view of the decisive action of the house, virtuinstructing its conferrees on the agricultural bill to adhere to the house amendment in relation to meat inspecthe conferrees will again meet today.

REMAKRS MADE BY STATEMEN Padgett Raps the President and Wharton Hits Inquisitor Neill. Washington, June 29.-President Roosevelt's recent pronouncement against the accumulation of large forwas made a text for a speech in the house by Padgett of Tennessee. He regarded it as the most vicious statement in its effect ever uttered by any public man. While the house was discussing who should pay for meat inspection Wilof Mississippi said: "These peo[the packers] have been and are voluntarily endangering the public health, and now they want the public to pay them for quitting it." Humof Washington talked about the "devils in hell," in conjunction with the packers paying the cost of inspection, and inveighed against their "insulting demands. Neill and Reynolds, who made the report on the beef investigation to the president, were taken to task by Wharof Chicago, in the house. He called them the ''privy council" of the presiTheir report, he said, was "slipshod." As to Neill, he continued, "he knows that he told a deliberate falsewhen he made that report; he knows he went out there to make that report just as he made it; he knows these things were not true."

LACE ARMLETS. Made of Lace and Net, a Substitute For Long Gloves. Armlets, or gauntlets, as they are sometimes called, made of lace and net are the latest accessories of the femitoilet to be worn as substitutes for the long gloves of which there is such a prevailing scarcity. Wearers of short sleeves have had their own troubles this season, for on the one hand the girl with the scrawny arm has deplored the fashion, while on the other there has been such a dearth in long gloves that even those who fathe style have with difficulty been enabled to secure the proper arm coverings for the street. Now, howthe lace armlets have been inby some friend of the sex, and so there is always an alternative if one suffers in either of the foregoing ways. There are two styles of armlets those made in the long mousquetaire effect, shirred from elbow to hand, or the plain net, lace trimmed, which also falls low over the hand in deep points, not unlike the old fashioned mitts in effect. Those of black, of either plain or dotted net, are particularly effective. They are shirred on the inner seam on a fine featherbone cord, the net wrinloosely on the arm, as does the fashionable long glove. Some of the armlets are so long and extend so far over the hand that a tiny piece of elasFASHIONED FROM LACE AND NET. tic is sewed on the net to form a loop through which the thumb is inserted, this aiding in holding the armlet down and at the same time giving the effect of a mitt, in which case a glove is quite unnecessary.

Cluny lace is particularly effective for a more elaborate pair, but the regular German valenciennes will be equally as pretty and serviceable and less exNew York Telegram. How to Care for Lawns. Rake the dead leaves from the lawn as soon as you can get on to it without leaving a footmark in the damp soil. Do this carefully, to avoid tearing the; sward, which is easily injured in the spring. Apply a good fertilizer. Use it liberally in order to secure a rich, velvety sward. That is something you cannot have unless you use good food and plenty of it. I would advise a commercial fertilizer, as barnyard manure will bring in weeds, and they are the last things one cares to introduce to his lawn. There will be enough of these in spite of all your efforts to prevent them from coming to keep you busy in trying to get rid of them. Dandelions should be cut off below the crown with a thin bladed knife or a pointed hoe. Simply clipping their tops will do no good whatever. Plaintain, so far as my experience goes, cannot be eradicated from any lawn. It is there to stay. But it can be kept down by close mowing. A lawn without weeds calls for the services of a gardener who can dehis entire time to it. Most of u cannot afford this expense, but we can have pretty lawns even though there are some weeds in them if we keep th grass growing luxuriantly and give them the regular attention they demand in the way of mowing and rak-ing.-Eben E. Rexford in Outing Mag azine. A Strange Custom. A strange custom prevails in Kamwhere a man who wishes to entertain a guest invites him into a cabin which is heated to an excessive temperature and then presses him with food until he is in a state of torpor. Inof men dying at these orgies have been known. Chinese Coffins. Chinese coffins are made of timber eight inches to ten inches thick. It is calculated, therefore, that over 8,000, 000 feet of lumber is utilized yearly for coffins in China. Early Street Lighting. New York was the first city in the United States to adopt public street lighting. In 1698 an ordinance was passed by the city whereby every sevhouse was required to hang out of the second story window a lantern on a pole for the benefit of pedestrians. Equine Weather Indicator.
