Blind masseuses have been so suc

"arf of massage" is to be taught in
New York schools for the blind.
Their highly developed sense of

Reports from the Discovery, which
lias been exploring the Antarctic re

to the appetites which come to half
frozen men on long sledge expedi

nightmare, some of the men having
horrible visions of tempting dishes.
It is questionable if anything could
compare in the way of hardships suf

In Ceylon there is a tree called
"Kve's apple tree," which is remark
able in that the orange fruit is beauti
ful to look upon, yet out of each fruit
a piece appears to have been bitten.
It is said that the simulation of n fruit
which has been bitten into is perfect.
For litis reason and because the fruit
is :t deadly poison, the natives declare
that it is the same tree which grew
in the Garden of Eden, ami it is a
perpetual reminder of a disobedient
act
In the minds of the majority of
Americans Russia is associated with
tyranny of all sorts, yet there are said
to be more points in common between
the Russian and the English-speaking
girls than the girls of any other na
tion. The Russian girl asserts her
self, and no one in Russia thinks the
less of a girl for her wish to learn or
to lead an independent life. In all
subjects she is an idealist, in thia
point being different from her En a
lish-speaking sisters.
In order to preserve the features oi
those who have died it is proposed by
a Russian to embalm corpses by cast
ing around ihem a solid mass of glass.
This would be perfectly transparent,
and as no air could get in the feat
ures would be preserved indefinitely.
Of course, it is not possible to pour
molten glass directly on the body, so
it is first coated with a thing coating
ol' silicate. This is allowed to harden
aud forms a protective coating. The
body is then putin a mold and melted
glass poured around it.
A species of acacia, which grows
very abundantly in N'ubia and the
Soudan, is called the "whistling tree"
by the natives. Its shoots are fre
quently distorted in shape by the
agency of larvae of insects and swol
len into a globular bladder from one
to two inches in diameter. After the
insect has emerged from a circular
hole in the side of this swelling, the
opening, played upon by the wind, be
comes a musical instrument sugges
tive of a sweet-toned flute. Tha
whistling tree is also found in the
West Indies.
The culture and manufacture of bas
ket willow have not attained in tha
United States the degree of perfection
and profit thai mark the industry in
Europe. This is for several reasons,
the most important being the relative
compensation of labor and the failure
of the American grower to adopt th.s
most improved methods. The grow
ing, harvesting, care and manufacture
of willow require manual labor wholly
unassisted by machinery. The cheap
labor of Europe has grown willow and
woven it into baskets at a profit
impossible with us.

President Roosevelt's Address
AT OYSTER BAY, N. Y.. July 27. 1904
In Response to the. Committee Appointed to Notify
Him of His Nomination for the
Presidency.
Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Noti
fication Committee: lam deeply senslb'.e
of the high honor conferred upon me by
the representatives of the republican party
assembled in convention, and 1 accept the
nomination for the presidency with sol
emn realization of the obligations I as
sume. I heartily approve the declaration
of principles which the republican national
convention has adopted, and at some fu
ture day I shall communicate to you. Mr.
Chairman, more at length amf in detail a
formal written acceptance of the nom
ination.
Three, years ago I became president be
cause of the death of my lamented prede
cessor. 1 then stated that it was my pur
pose to carry out his principles and poli
cies for the honor and the interest of the
country. To the best of my ability 1
have kept the promise thus made. If
next November my countrymen confirm
at the polls the action of th> convention
you represent, I shall, under Providence,
continue to work with an eye single to the
welfare of our people.
A party is of worth only in so far as it
promotes the national interest, ard every
official, high or low, tan serve his party
best by rendering to the people tie best
service of which he is capable. Kffcctive
government comes on'j its the result of
the loyal cooperation of many different
persons. The members of a legislative
majority, the officers in the various de
partments of the administration, and the
legislative and executive branches as to
wards each other, must work together
with subordination of self to the common
end of successful government. We who
have been entrusted with power us pub
lic servants during the past seven years
of administration aiid legislation now
come before the people content to be
judged by our record of achievement. In
the years that have gone by we have made
the deed square with the word: and if we
are continued in power we shall unswerv -
ingly follow out the great lines of public
policy which the republican party has al
ready laid down: a public policy to which
we are giving, and shall give, a unlteti,
and, therefore, an efficient support.
In all this we are more fortunate than
our opponents, who now appeal for con
fidence on the ground, which some express
and some seek to have confidentially un
derstood, that if triumphant they may be
trusted to prove false to every principle
which in the last eight years they have
laid down as vital, and to leave undisturbed
those very acts of the administration he
cause of which they ask that the adminis
tration itself be driven from power. Seem
ingly their present attitude as to their
past record is that some of them were mis
taken and others Insincere. We make our
appeal in a wholly different spirit. We
are not constrained to keep silent on any
vital question: we are divided on no vital
question; our policy is continuous, and is
the same for all sections and localities.
There is nothing experimental about the
government we ask the people to continue
In power, for our performance in the
past, our proved governmental efficiency.
Is a guarantee as to our promises for the
future. Our opponents, either openly or
secretly, according to their several tem
peraments, now ask the people to trust
their present promises in consideration of
the fact thnt they intend to treat their
past promises as null and void. We know
our own minds and we have kept of the
same mind for a sufficient length of time
to give to our policy coherence and sanity.
In such a fundamental matter as the en
forcement of the law we do not have to
depend upon promises, but merely to ask
that our record be taken as an earnest of
what we shall continue to do. In dealing
with the great organizations known as
trusts, we do not have to explain why the
laws were not enforced, but to point out
that they actually have been enforced and
that legislation had been enacted to in
crease the effectiveness of their enforce
ment We do not have to propose to
"turn the rascals out," for we have shown
in every deed that whenever by diligent
investigation a public official can be found
who has betrayed his trust he will be pun
ished to the full extcr.t of the law with
out regard to whether he was appointed
under a republican or n democratic ad
ministration. This is the efficient way to
turn the rascals out ard to keep them out,
and it has the merit cf sincerity. More
over, the betrayals of trust in the last
seven years have been insignificant In
number when compared with the extent of
the public service. Never has the admin
istration of the government been on a
cleaner and higher level; never has the
public work of the nation been done more
honestly and 1 efficiently.
Assuredly it is unwise to change the
policies which have worked so well and
yvhich ate now Working so well. Prosperity
has come at home. The national honor
and interest have been upheld abroad. We
have placed the finances of the nation upon
a sound gold basis. We have done this
with the aid of many who were formerly
our opponents, but who would neitheropen
!> support norsllently acquiesce in the here
sy of unsound finance; and we have done it
against the convinced and violent opposi
tion of the mass of our present opponents
who still refuse to recant the unsound
opinions which for the moment they think
it inexpedient to assert. We know what
we mean when we speak of an honest
and stable currency. We mean the same
thing from year to jear. We do not
have to avoid a definite and conclusive
committal on the most Important issue
which has recently been before the people,
and which may at any time in the near
future be before them again. I'pon the.
principles which underlie this issue the
convictions of half of our number do
not eiash with those of the other half. So
long as the republican party is in power
the gold standard is settled, not as a
matter of temporary political expediency,
not because of shifting conditions in the
production of gold in certain mining cen
ters, but in accordance with what we regard
as the fundamental principles of national
morality and wisdom.
t'nder the financial legislation which we
have enacted there Is now ample circula
tion for every business need; and every
dollar of this circulation is worth a dollar
in gold. We have reduced the interest
bearing debt and in stiil larger measure
the interest on that debt. All cf the war
taxes imposed during the Spanish war have
been removed with a view to relieve the

people and to prevent the accumulation
of an unnecessary surplus. The result is
that hardly ever before have the expendi
tures and' income of the government so
closely corresponded. In the fiscal year
that has just closed the excess of income
over the ordinary expenditures was $9,000,-
000. This does not take account of the
sf>o,( Xi.ooo expended out of the accumulated
surplus for the purchase of the isthmian
canal. it Is an extraordinary proof of
the sound financial condition of the na
tion that instead of following the usual
course in such matters and throwing the
burden upon posterity by an issue of
bonds, we were able to make the pay
mint outright and yet after It to have in
the treasury a surplus of $161,000,000. More
over we were able to pay this J50.000.000
out of hand without causing the slight
est disturbance to business conditions.
We have enacted .a tariff law under which
during the past few years the country
has attained a height of material well
being never before reached. Wages are
higher than ever before. That whenever
the need arises there should be a readjust
ment of the tarift schedules is undoubted;
but such i hanges can with safety he made
only by those whose devotion to the prin
ciple of a protective tariff is beyond ques
tion; for otherwise the changes would
amount not to readjustment, but to re
pea' The readjustment when made must
maintain and tot destroy the protective
principle. To the farmer, the merchant,
the manufacturer this is vital; but pet
haps no other man is so much interested
as the wage-worker in the maintenance
of our present economic system, both as
regards the finances and the tariff. The
standard of living of our wage-workers is
higher than that of any other country,
and it cannot so remain unless we have
a protective tariff which shall always keep
as a minimum a rate of duty sufficient
to cover the difference between the labor
cost here and abroad. Those who, like
our opponents, "denounce protection as
a robbery." thereby explicitly commit
themselves to the proposition that if they
were to revise the tariff no heeil would be
paid to the necessity of meeting this
difference between the standards of liv
ing for wage-workers here ami in other
countries; and therefore on this point theii
antagonism to our position is funda
mental. Here, again, we ask that their
promises and ours be judged by what has
been done in the immediate past. We ask
that sober and sensible men compare the
workings of the present tariff law, and
the conditions which obtain under it, with
the workings of the preceding tariff law
of IMM and the conditions which that tariff
of 1H64 helped to bring about
We believe in reciprocity with foreign
nations cn the terms outlined in Presi
dent McKlnlcy's last speech, which urged
the extension of our foreign markets by
reciprocal agreements whenever t hey couid
be made without injury to American Indus
tr\ and labor. It is a singular fact that
the onlv great reciprocity treaty recently
adopted—that with Cuba—was finally op
posed almost alone by the representatives
of the very party which now states that
it favors reciprocity. And here again we
ask that the worth of out words be judge*}
by comparing their deeds with ours. On
this Cuban reciprocity treaty there were
at the outset grave differences of opin
ion among ourselves; and the notable
thing in the negotiation and ratification
of the treaty, and in the legislation which
carried it into effect, was the highly prac
tical manner in which without sacrifice
of principle these differences of opinion
were reconciled. There was no rupture of
a great party, but an excellent practical
outcome, the result of the harmonious co
operation of two successive presidents and
two successive congresses. This Is an il
lustration of the governing capacity which
entitles us to the confidence of the people
not only Ir. our purposes but In our prac
tical ability to achieve those purposes.
Judging by the history of the last 12
years, down to this very month, is there
justification for believing that under sim
ilar circumstances and with similar initial
differences of opinion, our opponents would
have achieved any practical result?
We have already shown in actual fact
that our policy is to do fair and equal
justice to all men, paying no heed to wheth
er a man is rich or poor; paying no heed
to his race, his creed, or his,birthplace.
We recognize the organization of cap
ital and the organization of labor as nat
ural outcomes of our Industrial system.
Each kind of organization is to be favored
so long as it acts in a spirit of justice and
of regard for thf rights of others. Each
is to be granted the full protection of the
law. and each in turn is to be held to a
strict obedience to the law; for no man
Is above it and! no man below It. The
humblest individual is to have his rights
safeguarded as scrupulously as those of
the strongest organization, for each is to
receive justice, no more and no less. The
problems with which we have to deal in
our modern industrial and social life are
manifold; but the spirit in which it: is
necessary to approach their solution is
simply the spirit of honesty, of courage,
and of common sense.
In inaugurating the great work of irri
gation in the west the administration lias
been enabled by congress to take one of
the longest stridfs ever taken under our
government toward utilizing our vast na
tional domain for the settler, the a.,.ual
home-maker.
Ever since this continent was discovered
the need of an Isthmian canal to connect
the Pacific and the Atlantic has been
recognized; and ever since the birth of our
nation such a canal has been planned. At
last the dream has become a reality. The
isthmian canal is now being built by the
government of the Cnlted States. ' We
conducted the negotiations for its const ruc
tion with the nicest and most scrupulous
honor, and in u spirit of the largest gen
erosity toward those through whose ter
ritory it was to run. Every sinister ef
fort which could be devised by the spirit
of faction or the spirit of self-interest was
made in order to defeat the treaty with
Panama, ami thereby prevent the consum
mation of this work. The construction of
the canal is now an assured fact; but most
certainly it is unwise to entrust the carry
ing out of so momentous a pollcv to those
who have endeavored to defeat the whole
undertaking:.

The last cause of irritation between <i«

In the Caribbean sea we have mad* Rood
ojr promises of independence to Cuba,
and have proved our assertion that our
mission in the island-was one of Justice
and not of self-aggrandizement; and
thereby no less than by our action in Vene
zuela and Panama we have shown that
tlie Monroe doctrine is a living reality,
('esigned for the hurt of no nation, but
for the protection of civilisation on the
western continent and for the peace of
the world. Our steady growth in power

ing disposition to use this power with
strict regard for the rights of others, and
lor the cause of international justice and
good will.
We earnestly desire friendship with all
ihe nations of the new and old worlds;
and we endeavor to place our relations
with them upon a basis of reciprocal ad
vantage instead of hostility. We hold
that the prosperity of each nation Is an
iiid and not a hindrance to the prosperity
it other nations. We seek interna
tional amity for the same reasons that
make us believe in peace within our own
borders; and we seek this peace, not be
cause we are afraid or unready, but be
cause we think thai peace is right as wall
as advantageous.

terest of the Philippine people themselves.
We have already given them a large
share In their government, and our pur
pose is to Increase this share as rapidly
is they give evidence of Increasing lit -
ness for the task. Tl.e great majority of
the officials of the Islands, whether elect
ive or appointive, ay already native Fil
ipinos. We are now providing for a legis
lative assembly. This Is the tirst step to
be taken in the future; and It would be emi
nently unwise to declare what our next
step will be until this tirst step has been
taken and the results are manifest. To
have gone faster than we bav alrtadj
gone in giving the islanders a constantly
increasing measure of self-gtvurnm -nt
would have been disastrous. At ti'.e pres.
'•nt moment to give political independence
to the islands would result in the immedi
ate loss of civil rights, personal liberty and
public order, as regards the mass of the
Filipinos, for the majority of is
landers have been griven these great
boons by us. and only keep them because
we vigilantly safeguard and guarantee
them. To withdraw our government from
the islands at this time would mean to
the average native the loss of his barel.v
won civil freedom. We have established
in the islands a government by Americans
assisted by Filipinos. We are f.teadily
striving to transform this into s'jlf-gov
ernment by the Filipinos assisted b/ Amer
icans.
The principles which we uphold should
appeal to our countrymen, in ail p >rtion»
of our country. Above all they Should
give us strength with the men aitd women
who are the spiritual heirs of those who

we are striving to do our work in the spirit
with which Linccln approached his. D «r

there is no duty, domestic or foreign, which
we have shirked; no necessary risk which
we have feared to undertake, or which v*
have not performed with reasonable effi

criticism and complaint instead of ac
tion. We face the future with our past
and our present as guarantors of our prem

STABILITY OF MOUNTAINS.
Scientific Measurements for the Infor
mation of Generations Yet
Unborn.
At the recent gathering ol tlie Asso
ciation of Academies, Sir A. Geikie
moved a resolution, which was unani
mously adopted, says the London Tele
graph.in favor of international coop
eration in the efforts to obtain "Pre
cise determination of levels in moun
tain chains subject to earthquakes,
with the view of ascertaining whether
such chains are stable, or are undergo
ing movements of deviation or depres
sion." Another proposal aimed to se
cure measurements of the value of
gravity, with the object, so far as geo
logical questions are concerned, of
throwing light on the internal distribu
tion of masses in the earth and on the
rigidity or isostasy of the terrestrial
crust. These problems i all for minute
and rigorous observation. In this way
it is believed to have been proved that
the land about the city of New YorlS
has been subsiding since 1875 at the
rate of about 1.45 feet (nearly
inches) per century. Posterity 1,000
or 10,000 years hence will have a right
to know not merely how high Etna or
Vesuvius was in 1904, but what were
the elevation and appearance of Beachy
Head; how much the old rock has lost
by waste of the sea at its foot, or by
denuding rains on its summit and
Hanks; or how much it may have
gained by uplifting forces. They will
know these things in 2904, just as they
will know how the stars and nebulae
are distributed in our skies, and the
knowledge will be very helpful to the
future astronomers and geologists. In
these matters photography, as the
handmaid of research, can render easi
ly and cheaply incomparable services.

THE STOCK YARDS STRIKE,
PACKING HOUSE OWNERS WILL
IGNORE LABOR UNIONS.
Packers Claim that the Backbone of
the Strike Is Broken—Arrest of
a Union Leader Leads
to Rioting.
Chicago, July .'!(). —Unable: to ar
range a conference with represent
atives of the New York packers,
Michael J. Donnelly, president of the
Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butchers' Workmen of America, has
ordered a strike of all the members of
his organization employed in New
York by Schwarzschlld & Sulzberger
and the United Dressed Heef Co. The
order, which was telegraphed to New
York last night, does not go into effect
until Sunday, as the men in the east
ern packing plants do not report lor
work on Saturday.
The decision to extend the strike
to the east was not taken until after
Mr. Donnelly and his associates had
spent the clay in a fruitless effort to
arrange a meeting with represent
atives of the eastern packers who
came to Chicago to acquaint them
selves with the situation here.
That, the probabilities of a settle
ment by the opposing interests in Chi
cago are as remote as ever was plainly
demonstrated when Henry C. Wallace,
of Des Moines, ia., and A. L. Ames, of
Buckingham, la., called on Hie pack
ers with a proposition front the strike
leaders offering to concede the most
important point in the controversy if
the employers would agree to renew
peace negotiations. Mr. Wallace and
Mr. Ames were told by the packers
that there was no possible chance for
any further conciliatory move and
that the packers were now in a posi
tion where they could ignore the labor
unions, atul that they proposed to do
so.
Eighty colored men being trans
ported from the stock yards in two
cars on the Lake Shore road, were
thrown into a panic by a furious at
tack by a mob of 200 throwing stones
which demolished nearly every win
dow in both cars.
Following the arrest of George
Golden, chief of the Packing Team
sters' union, for picketing, riots be
came more frequent in the vicinity of
the stock yards Friday afternoon. In
one disturbance a molt captured a
loaded meat wagon after it had left
the stock yards, upset the wagon and
threw the meat into the street. The
most serious riot occurred in South
Chicago, where five men were arrest
ed for trying to prevent the delivery
of meat. No one was seriously in
jured in any of the many disturbances.
More business was done Friday by
the packers than at any time since the
strike began. The statement was
made last night by one of the packers
that fully 13,000 men are now at work
in the seven plants where the union
men are on strike. This is nearly half
as many men as went on strike.

They Are Being Held at Grosse Pointe
Track at Detroit.
Detroit, July 2S.—Rain threatened
to seriously interfere with the third

effect, relutes the New York l inn .-. Tha
good-natured people around the tables had!
wisely abandoned all eifort at conversation.
Not so with one woman, a shrewish-100k :n£
person, who was leaning pver a table shak
ing her finger at her nusband and doing
her best to make him hear the abuse that
she was evidently hurling at him. Sudden

and the woman's voice, pitched in a veri
table scream, was heard:
"You bald-headed, sour-faced idiot, I'll—" f
Checked by her own strident tones she

Proved Beyond a Doubt.
Middlesex, X. Y., July 25.—(Special)—•
That Rheumatism can be cured has been),
proved beyond a doubt by Mrs. Betsey
A. Clawson, well known here. That Mrs.
Clawson had Rheumatism ami STl it lmd|
all her acquaintances know. They al.se
know she is now cured. Dodd's Kidney
Pills did it. Mrs. Clawson tells the stoiy
of her cure as follows:
"I was an invalid for most five years
caused by Inflammatory Rheumatism,,
helpless two-thirds of the time. The first
year 1 could net do as much as a baby
could do; then T rallied a little bit and
then a relapse. Then a year ago the gout
set in my hands and feet. I suffered mi
told agony and in August, 1903. when my
husband died 1 could nut ride to tho
grove.
"I only took two boxes of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and in two weeks I could wait
on myself and saw my own wood. I dug
mv own potatoes and gathered my own
garden last fall. Dodd's Kidney I'll!*!
cured me."
Rheumatism is caused by tiric acid in
the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills put the
Kidneys in shape to take all the uric acid
out of the blood.

of the Young Woman's Temper"
ance Association of Buffalo, N.Y.,
strongly advises all suffering
women to rely, as she did, up
on Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound.
" DEAR Mus. PINKITAU: — Your med
icine is indeed an ideal woman's medi
cine, and by far the best 1 know to
restore lost hi-ulth and strength. 1
suffered misery for several years, being
troubled with monorrhagia. My back
ached, I had bearing-down pains and
frequent headaches. I would often
wake from restful sleep, and in such
pain that I suffered for hours before 1
could goto sleep again. 1 dreaded the
long nights as much as the weary days.
I consulted two different physicians,
hoping to get relief but finding that
their medicine did not seem to cure me.
I tried your Vegetable Compound
on the recommendation of a friend
from the East who was visiting me.
il I am glad that I followed her ad
vice, for every ache and pain is gone,
and not only this, but my general
health is much improved. I have u
fine appetite and have gained in flesh.
My earnest advice to suffering women
is to put aside ull other medicines and
to tnke I.<vdia K. Pinkliam's Vege
table Compound." —Miss NELI.IK
