Adam, according to eastern tradition,
vas created with beard, which was
bushy rather than flowing.

the most solemn oath that could be
taken.

IF there be any industry in this

that it can get ON its feet. ! say it
would be wisdom to give it. The on

started your infant by giving him
first milk and then bread and raising
him up to be man, you continue to
protect him until he begins to feel
the effect of competition, and then he
forms a combination Of trust and
marches abroad in the open light OF

household in this land tribute levied
through the forms Of law by congress

There is where draw the line, I say

levy unjust tribute on the American

HoUSEWIFERY AND INDUSTRY.

The expenses of your house will be
large or small, as you are bad or good
housekeeper.
Among the most homely, but most eS-
sential accomplishments of young
woman is that of housewifery.
Laziness is very apt to come with
wealth, and there are undoubtedly a
great many more lazy girls now than
so years ago, but there are no more nat
urally lazy girls in the world than
usual.
Girls who acquire a really good edu-
cation now accomplish much more gen.
uine hard work than those in "the good
old times" who only learned to read and
write, and occupied the most of their
time in the kitchen and dairy.
Nothing that can be called education
and accomplishment can be achieved
without great labor, and the principal
reason why good housewifery is so
much neglected as an accomplishment
is that the time is 80 much occupied in
study. G. Holland.

Washington, d. O., July 1O.-Mr.

afternoon sent to Secretary Sherman
his reply to the note of the Secretary
Of State, written in answer to Japan's
original note and protest against the
Hawaiian annexation treaty. The note
by the Minister answers in detail the

The note was sent after full cOmmunica-

ment toward Hawaii. belong to the op-

government. No quotations from the

THEY WORK ON SUNDAY
THE TRUSTS HAVE NO TIME TO WASTE
ON THE SABBATH.
What Has the Lord to Do With Hanna and His
Trusts Anyway--They Paid
for Their Law.

Washington, July 10.-The conferees
ON the tariff bill suspended their labors
long enough to-day to attend upon the
funeral ceremonies conducted over the
remains of the late Senator Harris, but
resolved before dispensing for this pur-
pose to re-assemble Immediately after
the conclusion of the obsequies and to
continue their work not only tonight,
but all day tomorrow.
The decision to sit ON Sunday was
not reached without some hesitation,
but was decided upon as necessary to ex-
pedlte the reporting of the bill. The
conferees are still hopeful of being able
to conclude their labors by the middle
of next week.
While the major portion of the time
of the conference so far has been given
to Senate amendments over which there
is comparatively little dispute there has
beeen more or less discussion of some of
the more difficult problems and one of
these is the form of the reciprocity provi-
sion of the bill. The advice of the Pres
ident has been sought upon this question
pressed himself as favoring a policy al
upon liberal principles.
The Senate representatives accept this
intimatiOn as favorable to their substi-
tute to the House bill as the House
paragraphs are restricted to certain arti-
cles while theirs is made capable of
covering the entire field of foreign COM
merce, allowing a discount of 20 per
cent, permitting an increase of the free
list and delegating authority to assure
foreign countries that any article COW
cred will be retained ON the free list
for five years.
The House members have not, how
ever, signified their acceptance of this
view. or the Senate amendments pass
ed upon, the House representatives have
conceded about three fourths. This
course they find necessary because of
the fact that the bill was considered
SO much more deliberately by the Sen
ate than by the House. They say the
House itself would have made many
amendments il more time had been Civ
en-.
The conferees expressed confidence to-
day In being able to cali In the Demo
cratic members by Tuesday next. They
stated that they were succeeding better
than they had hoped to do in settling
their differences. The Democratic men,
bers of>the conference say that whether
they will demand much time in commit
tee when called in win depend upon what
the Republicans do with the amend
ments made in the Senate upon the sug-
gestion of Democrats. II they find these
to have been abandoned they will ask for
explanations.
