A TEA ROLLING MACHINE.
Invention of Japanese Genius That VIII
Do the Work of 100 Women.

The Japanese newspapers are reJoic-
ing over the invention by a native
genius of q machine for rolling tea.
The great cost of the production OF
tea lies in the labor. Each individual
leaf must be plucked from the plant
and handled with the fingers several
times before it can be sent to market.
Therefore the industry Of tea raising
IS improbable without cheap labor.
and the deft fingers of women. at
Summerville, S. c., high quality ct
tea has been grown with great sue
cess, cultivated and harvested by col
ored girls at small expense, judged
from an American standard, but the
women in China and Japan are paid
from four to eight cents a day for
twelve hours labor and board them
selves. If they should receive the
wages Of women factory Lands in this
country tea would cost four or five
times as much as it does now.
In Japan wages are rapidly advanc'
ing with the development Of civillza-
tion. In China and Ceylon they re-
main about the same, but the women
of those countries will certainly follow
the example of their sisters in Japan
as their intelligence is cultivated.
Therefore the invention Of a tea II =
chine is as important to the great in
dustry Of those countries as the inven-
ton Of the cotton gin was " the
south. Inventive genius has been en-
gagged upon the problem for many
years without being able to contriTe
any substitute for human fingers, but
now it is claimed that the new ma
cline is a success, and can manufac-
ture nearly a ton of tea in twenty
four hours, with the labor Of one man
and boy or 4 girl. This is equiva-
lent to the work Of hundred women.

A CHICAGO Bows Wit.

A North Side teacher attempted 20
explain to her children the Use Of the
hyphen. The children were dull and
the more the teacher talked the less
they seemed 10 understand. At last she
bethought herself Of an illustration.
Upon the blackboard she wrote the
compound word ''blrd's-nest." Then,
pointing to the hyplen, she asked the
school: What is that for?' There WAS
a long silence before 4 quick witte1
son of Ireland spoke: "PlaZe, ma'am,
It's fer the bird to roosht on!'

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
IA TALK WITH MRS. PISKEIAM.l


A woman with the blues is q very uns
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
1.-The blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs of
generation.
1t is source OF wonder that in this
age Of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will aod determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles are
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass. to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense: and is the counsel of a
learned woman Of great experience.
Read the story Of Mrs. F. S. Bennett
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol.
lowing letter:
"DEAR Mrs. P1NKHAM:-I have SUI
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
weakened condition, caused ne to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, I wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for { short time,
that terrible fow stopped.
- am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than l
have had for the past ten years. I
wish to say to ell distressed, suffer
ing women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one so kind aud willing to
aid you"

MOTHERHOOD,

Oh, what 50 true, so pure, so good,
As love and pride Of Motherhood?
The tender watching and the care,
That have no likeness anywhere?
What men most bold would fear to do
A mothers hear. will carry through.
Love is too strong to think On death,
A child is more than living breath.
A mothers love is fond and wise,
Her soul is in her bahy's eyes;
To her the laugh that shakes its throat
Is sHeeter than the thrush's note.
Her life is in the child she bears,
Nor withers with the waste Of years;
Though promise may in failure die,
IT'S love that makes her weep and sigh.
Her love, indeed, outlivcs her days.
Her children treasure up her praise;
Aud, though no more they see her face.
Her name retains its native grace.

The newest embroidery is done with
the narrowest and lightsst Of ribbons.
This style is exceedingly fine and
dainty, and demands most minute
work. Empire designs are used, and
are very effective on centre of heavy

in connection with the ribbon and

THE SPANISH TORPEDO FLEET.
Interesting Preparations for the
Trip Across the Atlantic.

New York, March S.-A Cadiz CORE
spondent of the Herald says:
Much interst is taken in the coming
voyage of the torpedo destroyers and tor
pedo boat squadron. Its novelty and the
manner in which the boats will be rugged
are much deliberated upon and may be of
interest to naval men.
In the Rayo and Azor alone ii has been
necessary to repair the machinery. On
the torpedo boats Terror, Furor and Plu-
ton temporary rigging is arranged for
three masts and for small sails to be used
if possible The magazines have been
empticd of war material, so as to carry
coal, and not augment the radius of their
action. The torpedo destroyer artillery
on deck has been dismounted to make
them more seaworthy. All these guns have
been placed in such position that they can
be remoumted at a moments notice.
The tlansa: :lant:c steamer City of Cadia
will accompany the squadron. She is filed
with coal and provisions literally up to her
scuppers. She is now fitted as a war
transport and has on deck four cannon of
Il ceHlliilelleS talDic. Two vi y Ceilti-
metres, two mitraillerses. and two rapid
fire guns. In her bunkcrs she carries II
large supply of coal solely for the squad
ron One hundred tons is in sacks ready
for immediate use.
In order that the trip may not be de-
layed more than necessary on the deck of
the transatlantic steamer is fixed Il large
spirit and two pipes, which will serve to
launch into the ocean water-tight cases,
which will contain water. victuals and
fresh bread. In this manner all provis-
ions will be distributed during the vov-
age.
1t is estimated that the squadron will
travel at the rate of 10 miles an hour. 40
days time being taken on the trip. The
squadron will have to be recoaled three
times during the passage, revictualed each
day, and the start depends on the condi
ton OF the weather.

on the Maine were several japanese sub

STRIKERS TO BE STARVED OUT.
Only One End FOrseen at the New
Bedford Mills.

New Bedford, Mass, March 1.-THE end
of the seventh week of the strike in this
city finds the operatives much disap-
pointed because affairs are not going to
suit them. The funds of all the unions
except tn" spinners have been reduced to
almost nothing and even the union mem
bers have to depend upon outside relief
to a great extent. There is no question
that unless there is some discussion and
decision one way OF the other the other
unions outside of the weavers will meet
and take action of some kind. 1t has
become common talk that this action will
be taken.
The collections from the outside last
week did not amount to any more than
they did during the week before, when
less than $4,000 was raised.
This amount is only drop in the buc-
ket for 5000 to 10000 idle operatives and
under the circumstances only one end
can be seen-that the strikers will have
to return to work.

RAILROADS WIN THE CASE.
Supreme Court Knocks Out the Ne
brasl<a Freight Rate Law.

Washington, March S--Justice Harlan
has delivered an opinion in the Nebraska
maximum freight case. He held the Ne
braska law to be contrary to the l4th
amendment, in that it authorized the tax
ing of property without due process of law
and was therefore invalid. Hence the rail
road won. Justice Harlan's opinion af-
frmed the opinion of the circuit court of
appeals of the Eighth circuit. which was
against the maximum freight rates law
and favorable to the railroads. This case
was Instituted to test the validity of the
law passed by the Nebraska legislh ture in
1898, prescribing maximum rates for the
transportation of freights by railroads
within the state. The decision sustains
the contention of the railroad pnies
and held against the validity of the law.
The opinion was based largely on the
charge of unreasonableness. Justice
Brewer made a computation showing the
reduction effected in freight rates amount
ed on an average to co. per cert, which h.
held was too great a change. The case has
been twice argued in the supreme court,
Hon. w. J. Bryan appearing as one of the
counsel for the state at the last hearing.

BESSIE K. IS A WRECK.
Lies on the Rocks One Hundred
Miles North Of Victoria.

Seattle, March IA passenger who has
just arrived here from Alaska on the
steamer City of Seattle has informed
Agent Grammar of the steamer Bessie
X. that the wreck passed by the City of
Seattle north of Victoria, which was re-
ported last night. had all the appearance
of being the Bessie X. seven days over
due The wreck lies 100 miles north of
Victoria, on the rocks, and there are no
indications of any survivors.
The Bessie X. is owned by J. S. Kim
ball & Co of San Francisco and left that
port for Alaska with a heavy load of
freight and passengers. She has capac-
ity of 100 passengers and $50 tons of
freight, and was scheduled to leave here
for Dyea on March /. She is supposed to
have been wrecked ON her voyage south,
having been on the track of the late dis
astro,ls storm that swept the northern
coast.
So confident is Manager Grammar that
the boat is lost that he has cancelled the
passengers booked for the next trip north.
Owing to the fact that the Bessie X. was
coming south, it can not be learned how
many passengers she was carrying.

CAN BUY WARSHIPS ABROAD.
Mex inley Directs Negotiations for
the Purchase of Eight Vessels.

New York. March IA Herald special
from Washington says:
Fully recognizing the Importance of be-
ing ready for any emergency. the presi
dent has directed the navy department
TO open negotiations looking to the pur-
chase abroad Of warships. This fact is for
the first time made public. 1t probably
would not have transpired at this june
t,lle but for the excitement caused BY
the statement published that Spain had
purchased or was negotiating for warships
being built by the Elswick company of
England for Brazil, and for other ships
under construction.
With view of obtaining the facts your
correspondent called upon a high official
of the administration and obtained an
official admission-made for the first time
that. while the president does not anti
cipate war. he recognizes that there is 4
possibility of hostilities growing out Of
the Cuban problem and the Maine disas-
ter, and that he proposes to be prepared
for it,
There has been ample evidence of this
in the preparations patent to everybody.
which have been in progress for some
time, but there has been no official adj
mission to this effect until now.
The builders have urged that the pur-
chases be made at once as they say that
declaration of war between the United
States and Spain would result in the en-
forcement Of neutrality measures and pre-
vent the sale of the ships.
The battleships and armored cruisers
have been built by English and German
firms for governments which are now TN
able to pay for them, and this govern
ment would be able to obtain the vessels
by simply putting down the amount OF
cost. The four torpedo boats have been
offered by the Thornycroft Shipbuilding
Company, whose boats are recognized by
experts to be among the best in the world.

Found That the Government Stands
Behind General Lee.


Washington, March Spain has with
drawn her request for the recall of Con-
sui General Lee 1t is believed the Incl
dent is practically closed. The withdraw
al came yesterday in the shape of an otfi-
cial communication from Minister Wood
ford.
1t is stated the request was never put in
the shape of demand but was merely a
suggestion on the part of Spain, and when
she found it would not be pleasantly re-
ceived by this country she promptly with
drew the request.
1t is learned that the Spanish objection
to Lee is based largely upon his sympathy
for the Cubans and some of his utterances
which have found their way into print. 1t
is understood the Spaniards also take eN-
ceptions to the friendly relations and com
panionship existing between Lee and the
correspondents of papers which have been
decidedly unfriendly to Spain. 1t is be-
lieved De LONE carried information calcu-
lated to make the Spanish government
request the recall of Lee.
