Sure Safeguard.

Among the numberIess stories of the
quick wit and f%elicitous sayings of DR..
Oliver Wendell Holmes is one connected
with the breakfast given in his honor
by the publishing firm of Houghton.
Osgood g. Co. on the occasion of his
SEVENTEEN birthday, says the Youths
Companion. Not long after the break
fast he met a friend who had been a
guest on that memorable occasion, aRd
had written one of the many bright
poems which formed part of the en-
t-er1ainment. In referring to the late
festivity, the doctor said to his friend:
IT knew there would be a good many
1hings said that would be calculated
10 draw tears. 1 was resolved that /
would not cry-that nothing should
make me cry; and SO L went to the
breakfast determined to maintain a

Geology

The scientific beginnings of geology
are said to have been treated OF In
Chinese works long before the Chris
tian era. Some degree of geological in
formation is displayed In the book OF
Job, several passages of which have
been held to indicate an exact knowI'
edge of the different strata of the earth.
The science is treated of by Aristotle,
Pipy, and Theophrastus. Geology did
not become what may be called an exact
science until the present century.

warning that confinement at hard labor

moving them upward has been perceptl-
bly, easier from the time scissors clipped
off their wildness.''
The Indians had been accustomed to
dictate to agents; now they were consulted
no longer and were forced to do what the
Government commanded, Willing or un-
willing, every child over five years of age
was forced into school. Their school now
shows the excellent record of 100 per cent
of attendance.
From absolute dependence on the Gov
ernment, the agent shows these Indians
have attained to such a condition that all
rations texcept beeD and clothing were to
be cut off on the 1st OF the present month.
In Two years more they will be able to
furnish their own meat. The Indians
now live in civilized fashion in comforta-
BILE houses on well cultivated farms.

LUXURIES MUST PAY DUTIES.

Recently in these columns we referred
to the growth among people of large for
tune of the custom of shopping" in Eu-
rope. Rich families brought here from
Paris and London trunks by the score,
and in some cases upward of hundred,
all filled with personal wearing apparel"
which was entered duty free. while at the
same time American merchants we're
compelled to pay duty on imports OF such
goods. Not only that, but the articles
shipped to this country free of duty could
be manufactured here just as we'll in
every particu ar, and thus increase local
American trade and give EN- mployment to
more American labor.
We opined that if wealthy families were
determined TO maintain this aristocratic
fad OF buying their stores on the other
side of the Atlantic, it was only right and
proper that they should be made to pay
as much duty on their wholesale pur-
chases abroad as American importers
were forced to pay on the same class of
goods.
1t is gratifying, therefore, to note that
the Senate has taken such action in reIa-
tion to the matter as will serve to remedy
in a large measure the evil that was rap
idly growing. The Senate has amended
the provision of the tariff bill with regard
to wearing apparel and personal ad.
vancement' to read THAT in the case of
residence in the United States all wearing
apparel and personal effects taken By
them from the United States may be
brought back free of duty, without regard
TO their value, and articles purchased
abroad only to the amount of $780,"
Democratic Senators characterized this
provision as 'barbarous" and ''giving way
10 demagogism." 1t is an action, how.
ever, that will be commended by the
American people. The goods brought
home from foreign LANDS by the ton by
families of millionaires are not necessi-
ties of life by any means--they are lux
uries; and Senator Vest of Missouri be-
trayed peculiar Inconsistency when he
denounced the limitation in very inele.
CANT language.
Once upon time not far in the past the
Democratic slo an had note in 1t to the
effect that ''Iuxuries should be made to
pay The burden of revenue taxation
When it is considered that during 1896
the personal wearing apparel" shipped
duty free from Europe 10 the United
States, represented a valuation of nearly
$l50,000, 600, it will be seen that the United
States Government will shortly hereafter
realize a very snug little sum In duties
from these imported luxuries OF the mil
iionaires and their families, if the ship
ments continued 20 be made in the same
wholesale manner. And if the measure
shall happily result in keeping much OF
this shopping" at home, where people
OF moderate means must spend their
money, it will be so much the better. But
in either case the provision is an excellent
one, and very beneficial one at that.
The San Francisco call., 1897-07-03
IN JUBILEE ARRAY.

The wholesale merchants of the City
have performed a generous and praise
worthy act in agreeing to close their
places of business to-day, thus affording
an appreciable period OF rest, relaxation
and pleasure to their thousands of en-
ployes, who will have three full holidays
in succession to themselves.
Next week will be a memora BILE one for
San Francisco. Trains from every part of
the Union are now headed for this City,
and on Tuesday next fully 10000 visitors
will be here. The International Conven.
tion Of Christian Endeavorers will bring
the multitudes, and many of the trains
bearing delegates will arrive before the
dawning of the glorious Fourth.
San Francisco should be in gala dress
to give the myriads from the East and
North and South appropriate greeting.
Our City should be splendidly adorned
with National colors and with the purple
