The Italian Ambassador, the Ger.

proposed Legislation, and these pro-

tary Sherman to the Senate Commit.

couched III diplomatic language,

come a law, it ls not improbable that
the German Government would re-

Andarson-The windowglass work

orally pleased with the result of the
wage conference at Pittsburg, which
resolved to submit the manufacturers
offer TO a national individual vote.
Thirty-two of the seventy-one gas
plants in the country are located IN
the gas belt. The blowers and gath
erers, with the possible exception of
those at Muncie, will vote TO accept
the manufacturers offer, which is
equivalent to about 10 per cent. ad-
vance over last year, the guarantee be-
ing that they shall equal what was
paid under the old Mckinley law.
With the exception of Independent
plants all of the concerns have been
closed since last June, and the work
ers and manufacturers have been dis
putting ever since.

BUDDING MEN AND WOMEN,
The Period When Boys and Girls Pins
for a Larger Liberty.


for a Larger Liberty.
On "The Passing of Childhood" the
Woman's Home Companion says:
Baby learns that he can walk, that he
can reach things, that he can open and
close doors, that he can select from
lar one he wants, and so soon as he
is conscious of his ability to act for
himself he does it. But birthdays
come and go, and John is 13 and alive
in every nerve and fiber. with the full
pulsed life of the American tempera-
ment He is ambitious and seeks
ideals and models from the great
world outside the walls of home, and
he talks excitedly of what other boys
do and finds precedent for the indi-
vidual liberty he is beginning to pant
and chafe after. Mary, with the first
luster of life yet fresh on her brow,
has shed infantile docility like gar
ment and has haunting visions OF the
joys of independence. 1t all seems
sudden to the parent, and it is not
quite pleasant There is a pretty SEN
timent in favor of prolonging baby
hood, and the world is brutal and ugly,
and innocence is precious. Besides,
the instant our fledgelings are out CT
our sight untold anxieties begin for
us. We are inclined to put off the
evil day. This is the way a sentiment
can make us selfish and fears for the
f,rtr, nl-- ,.ct n
right to choose what is easy for our
selves, however, rather than what IS
best for our children. 1t is the grow
ing manhood or womanhOod in them
that begins to assert itself and claim
recognition. The wings meant for
wide flight ere long are rapidly UNI
folding. and the courage soon TO be
essential is manifesting itself in the
feeling of pride and dignity which
makes our boy long to go and come as
he pleases and our girl to make her
own engagements and decide upon her
own affairs. This looks alarming, but,
after all. it is no great matter for
what the children really crave now is
liberty to exercise their own judg-
ment. 1t would be most injudicious 20
draw the lines closer when youthful
high spirits begin to pull upon them.
Liberty is to be retarded only for 4
year or so at the most, and for every
restraint imposed there viii be COR
responding excess. 1t is we'll known
that some of the widest youths, the
friskiest young women, were kept
down to a strict regimen as long as
parental oversight lasted. They came
to regard restraint, even when kindly
meant, as an evil, to like their own
way just for its own sake, and the re-
suit is anything but pleasant when
young persons with unframed wills
and judgment are turned loose upon
the community. If they are not will
full. they are weak, and, accustomed to
yield to stronger minds, they become
the prey of INSCRIPTIONS leaders"

THE VANISHING SPIDER.
One of the Curiosities of Animal Life
in Florida.

In Florida.
A Florida paper describes a strange
creature known as the vanishing
spider" On the borders of the Ever
glades you often see a large yellow
spider. He swings a strong web from
two plant twigs on each side of a path
or clear space of ground and waits for
his prey. The web is in the shape of
hammock and tapers at each end to
a fine point, though quite broad in the
middle. The bright color of the owner
seems to mark him for destruction-he
is clearly defined against the white
sand or dead leaves, and you wonder
what he would do for defense in case
Of attack. Approach quietly and he
watches you intently. Now raise your
hand suddenly. and he will disappear.
While you are wondering what became
of him you see first a blur where ne
had been, then several spiders. then
you catch sight again OF the yellow
ball that you noticed at first Repeat
the performance, and the stage effect
is renewed. The disappearance is al
solute there can be no do&bt about it.
and the little magician trusts to it en-
irely for his protection. How is it
done? AS soon as he is threatened he
starts the vibrations Of his airy ham
mock. These become too rapid for the
eye to follow, and he vanishes. As
these become slower you see blur,
and then several spiders as the eye
catches him at different points of his
swing, until finally he rests before you.

CAUSE OF MAHMUND TROUBLE
Burning of Village Gives Rise to
England's Indian War.

Burning of Village Gives Rise TO
EngIand's Indian War.
From the ST. James Gazette: On
Sept. II the Third brigade left Mum
dab. India, after a fifteen mile march,
camped south of Enayat Killa. The
next day they were halted, but the
cavalry were not allowed to rest on
their oars. X took two squadrons
to reconnoiter up the Wadelai valley.
While they were comfortably break
fasting some hundreds of hillmen were
seen lining a spur jutting out into the
valley on the left. There were seven
or eight standards among them and
they evidently meant business, but
when they saw it was only cavalry
reconnaissance they dispersed. After
breakfast our fellows advanced about
eight miles up the valley and halted,
when a so-called friendly who was with
them as a guide happened to mention
to X that village close by had a
horse belonging to the Eleventh B. L.,
which had bolted at Chakdara with
carbine, sword and everything, its
rider having been killed. So X
asked leave from the political officer
who was with the force to burn this
village. Permission was granted. 1t
was therefore set fire to, but after a
quarter of an hour or so our fellows
were startled by bullets whiZzing past
them and the only thing to do was
to mount and retire quickly. This
they did, being pursued by five or six
tribesmen, who sniped them. However,
they got back to camp without cas-
ualties and thought no more about the
affair, but that little business is sup
posed to have been the beginning of
the whole Mahmund trouble. On the
same day General Jeffreys arrived and
camped on the same ground and it was
on that night that his camp was at
tackled by these people, who resented
their village being burned. In the &C
ton of the 10th, in which Jeffreys lost
heavily, he found himself benighted
with a defenseless mountain battery
and one of his staff, so he took up
a position outside village, just under
Meath its walls, and was being fired in
to at thirty yards all through the night.
1t was a very foolish thing to do, az

ony in the Northwest, not having
proved so successful as it's promoters
claimed it would, this thrifty religious
sect seems to have turned its coloni-
cation idea in another direction. For
some weeks the agents of Dunkard
colony in Alabama have been working
among the brethren in Montgomery,
Clinton and Boone counties, and last
week quite number of families quiet
ly left for this Southern refuge. The
Dunkards were among the earliest set
tiers in the counties named, and have
been among the best citizens, amass-
ing property and living at peace with
all men. Of late years, however, their
religion has not thrived as the elders
wished. Contact with other people
and customs has caused many young
Dunkards to forsake the dress and re-
ligion of their parents, and the lead
erS of the church have been much dis
turbed thereby The Dunkard festivals
have always of late years attracted
alone by curiosity The children Of
the church have been twitted because
of their peculiar dress and address,
and large numbers of them have been
shamed into leaving the church. The
leaders of the sect concluded several
years ago that their tenetS and Gus
toms would be best preserved by the
formation of Dunkard colonies, own
ing vast tracts of land, to be peopled
only by members of the Dunkard
church. Such lands were purchased in
the DakCtas, but the rigorous winters
and uncertain crops caused hundreds
to return. The Alabama colony is
new, but is promising to be more sue
cessful than that of the Northwest. A
much greater variety of crops can be
raised and the seasons are vastly more
to the liking Of this simple people.

The MoSlem natives in Egypt" says
the Pail Mall Gazette, ARE accustomed
to call all Christians Noosrani, and the
term, which is evidently a corruption
of NaZarene, therefore comes to mean
Europeans. 1t happened one day. not
many years ago, that an English Of
ficer was passing through village in
one of the more fanatical districts, I
think in the neighborhood of Belcas.

possibility of their adding stones to
their invectives. he stopped very coolly
AID, turning round. asked them why
they were so annoyed at the sight of
an Englishman. Directly they heard
the word Englishman the stones were
dropped and the faces assumed their
normal gravity. They apologized pro-
fusely, saying that they did not know
he was an Englishman; they had mis-
taken him for a Noosrani. The incl
dent goes to show how completely the
natives distinguish Englishmen from
the other Europeans in Egypt-how
they like and trust the former as much
as they dislike and DISTRICT the latter"
