Woo, Growers and Manufacturers.

New York Tribune: Having tried
free wool awhile, the manufacturers
have reason to know that it shuts up
a large share OF works in this country,
and that the ad valorem duties which
they find disastrous cannot be changed
into specific duties without the hearty
assistance C wool-growing states. So
woe,-growers have tried a policy which
promised them cheaper clothing. They
listened TO elaborate arguments that if
they bought two suits of fine foreign
wooiens every year they would gain
more on the clothes than they would
lose on the wool as growers. Their
experience has presumably taught them
something Wool grown in northern
states east of the Mississippi was in

sTRoNGWoRDS TO WOMEN

WASHINGTON, Feb. I9.-Thc First
Baptist clurc!, was crowded long be-
fore the opening Of t!lc mothers con-
gress to-day ard ar overflow meeting
was held IA the large Sunday school
room.
Mrs. Helen II. Gardner OF Boston
read IL paper on the moral responsible
ity of women in hcretlity, in the course
of which she said: ''I fear that shall
strike a less pleasant note than those
who have dealt with the ideal mother
hood. My theme is scientific. 1t
deals with demonstrable facts, and it
goes back even of the kindergarten.
Self-a bnegation, subserviency to man
-Yhether he be father, lover or hus-
bafd is the most dangerous theory
that can be taught to or forced upon
woman. She has no right to transmit
nature that is subscrviel:t and y
slavish character, either blindly obcdi-
ent or blindly rebeliious. and there
fore set. as is time-lock, to prey or 20
be preyed upon by society of the future.
If woman is not brave enough person
ally to demand to obtain personal lib
crty of action. equality OF status, en-
tire control of her great and race-cu-
dowing function, maternity. she has
no right to dare to stamp upon Il
child and TO curse a race with the de-
Scendants of such a seryilc. a dwarfed,
a misunderstanding character.
We wonder how she dares to face her
child and know that she did not fit
herself b. selfdevelopment and by di
rect, sincere, firm and thorough quail
fcations for maternity before she dare
to assume its responsibilities. We
wonder that man has been SO slow in
learning to read the message that
nature has telcgraphcd to him
n letters of fire and photographed
with a terrible persistency up
on the distorted diseased bodies
and minds Of his children and upon the
moral imbeclcs she has set before hin,
as an answer to his message OF sex
domination. Do you know that there
is an army of 700, 900 detectives in this
country? Seven hundred thousand

Canada and Our Tariff.

Chicago Times-Herald: 1t is report
ed that the Canadian premier would
like to make the commercial relations
between the United States and Canada
lin all respects as free as they are be-
tween the states of the union" While
the new administration will doubtless
be disposed to meet the Canadian gov
ernment halfway in strengthening the
commercial relations between the two
nations by perfecting agreements with
reference to improvement of waterways
and with reference to rights of fisher
men and by adjusting other controver-
sizes on an amicable basis, it cannot
same commercial status. for Canada
that is accorded to Illinois or Ohio.
Canada is still subject to the crown
1t is not part of the United States poll
tically. The agriculturists of the Unit
ed States are entitled to some protec-
ton from the cheap products of Cana
dian farms The lumber interests of
Maine and the northwest have been
already seriously injured by the free
importation of cheap Canadian lumber
under the Wilson bill. The coal min
ers of Pennsylvania and West Virginia
should not be compelled to compete
with the cheap product of the mines
of British Columbia and Nova Scotia.
Canada has no stronger claim for
free access to the American markets
than has England, Germany or Japan.
If Canada wants to enjoy the same
privileges in our markets as are now
enjoyed by Michigan and Maine she
must come into the union. This she
never will do, hence all our trade
agreements with Canada must recog-
nize her as a foreign power, but should
be governed by the greatest comfy and
good will that are consistent with the
patriotic protection OF our own indus
trial interests.

MUSIC A LA GOLF.
Gives Freshness aud Variety to

In these days. when golf is crowding
in popularity every other form OF out
door sport, it is also-in England, at
least-giving a freshness and variety
to musical criticism which will be ap-
preciated by the lay mind that Is not
educated up to a knowledge of the
technical terms usually employed in
describing musical events, says an ex-
change. Here is a report taken from
recent London paper, of classical
concert at st. James hall: AN enor-
nous crowd assembled last Monday
night to witness the foursome compe-
titiOn over the st. James hall links.
Punctually at o'clock DR.. Joachim
drove off from the tee, Signor Platti
responding with a lovely low shot,
which left Mr. Gibson within easy
reach of the green with his brassey.
Mr.. Ries fooled the second subject
and DR.. Joachim was badly bunkered,
but using his niblick on the string
in mastery style laid his ball dead,
and the first movement was halved
amid great enthusiasm. Staring one
up at the scherzO, Signor Platti began
the second movement, and outdrove
DR.. Joachim by at least twenty Dars.
Mr.. Gibson approached cleverly, and
in the trio there was nothing to choose
between the opponents, the coda icon
sordinD resulting in another half. Mr..
Gibson and Signor Platti were now
dormy, but the latter, being obliged
to play pawky round dangerous piz-
zicato passage, fo5t a good deal or
ground, as Dr. JOachim's drive and
Mr. Ries' second were both long ana

ANoIENr wATER HgAreRs.

Proof That the Main Feature of Boil
ers Was Known to the Ancients.
In two of the museums of Roman
antiquities at Naples there are several
water heaters which indicate that the
principle of the water tube, the crown
ing feature of modern boilers, was fully
understood and appreciated some 1000
years ago. w. 7. Bonner, of Cincinnati,
o., has been investigating these heaters
and found them to be as interesting as
they are beautiful. One of them con-
sists of an outer shell 10 inches in diam
eter and nearly II inches high, sur
mounted by a somewhat hemispherical-
ly shaped top. Inside this shell is an
internal cylinder, also having hem
isPherical top, which is ten inches in
diameter and 10 inches high.
The two shells are connected at the
bottom by rim, like the mud ring of a
locomotive frebox, and the space be-
tween them was filled with water. The
CRATE was formed of seven tubes made
from sheet bronze, rolled and soldered
or brazed. These tubes open at both
ends into the bottom of the space be-
tween the sheets, thus forming a water
tube CRATE for the fuel 10 rest upon.
Charcoal was probably used with this
heater and was placed on the CRATE
through an opening 4.s inches high and
four inches wide, closed by a beautiful
~ decorated door. The gases from the
fire escaped into the outer air through
three small openings formed by tubes
crossing from the inner to the outer
shell about Sc inches above the CRATE.
The whole apparatus was raised about
- inches on a tripod, so as to allow air
to reach the fuel.
IN another boiler Of somewhat the
same type the outer shell has the form
of an urn, while the inner shell rises
from a water tube CRATE to an opening
in the side. 1t is 10 inches in diameter
at the widest part and 17.6 inches high
and supported on a tripod about -four
inches high. It's general shape is mush
like that of the silver cream pitchers
known as the Paul Revere patterns. al
though, of course. IL is much larger
and has a top closed by a lid. It has
been suggested that these utensils may
have served at some time to heat wine
as well as water. which suggestion ap
pears reasonable, as many historians
state that the Pompeiians made grea'
use of hot drinks. 1t may be that they
were found iI one of the termpodi Of

Operation on Murderer Harris.

Boston. Sept 11-An operation was
performed at the Massachusetts Cen
eral hospital on John Harris the muir
derer Of Mrs Buffers Of Concord. Both
Harris and Carl Buffers, the murdered
woman's son, who also was shot by
Harris. were photographed with the \
rays some days ago and the bullets
located. The operation performed on
Harris was very successful. 1t was
.ound that the bullet was shattered, and
part OF Il was extracted. Both men
are getting along as well as can be ex-
pected, the doctors say, and, despite the
fact that Carl Buffers has two bullets
in him. it is thought that he win be
able to leave the hospital before Har-
rls. He will not be operated on for sew
eral days.
