SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Some 100000 pounds of camphor
are consumed in the United States
yearly.
Indian corn does not mature when
planted in Germany and other coun-
| tries of central and northern Europe.
In spite of their unsanitary habits,
the Chinese often escape disease be-
cause their houses are well ventilated
and the children receive a daily sun
bath
"Eucain" is newly-discovered anaes-
thetic, by injection of which pain is
aeadened to a degree that greatly pro-
notes the work of surgeons. Its sue
cessful use in Philadelphia hospitals is
reported.
The average depth of Russian petro-
leum wells is a little over 900 feet. The
| chief obstacle encountered is salt wa
ter, similar to the water of the Caspian
sea, which comes in through the loose
and sandy soil.
The large downtown hotels and res
taurants in Chicago are to attempt to
achieve economy by bulking their
forces and their efforts in the establish
ment of big cooperative laundry No
outside bundle work will be accepted.
\ basket modeler has been invented
by Mr.. Thomas Taylor, the superin-
tendent of the Liverpool school for IN
digent blind. for the purpose of assist
ing blind people in the construction of
their baskets. The device consists of
a wooden Dashboard drilled with holes
into which are fitted steel pins ar
ranged to the required shape. The
wicker is then worked over these pins
with the utmost ease and rapidity.
Artificial eyes are supplied to all the
world from Thuringia Germany.
Nearly all the grown inhabitants of
some of the villages are engaged in
their manufacture. Four men usually
SIT at table, each with a gas Jet in
front of him, and the eyes are blown
from gas plates and moulded into shane
by hand. The colors are then traced
IN with small needles, no set rule being
observed in the coloring; and, as every
man uses his own fancy, no two arti-
hclal eyes, therefore, are exactly alike.

WHERE BOXER IS POPULAR.
Foiitical ASit"tors in Cuba Rejoicing
Because Our Troops Are Being

around Havana, where the professional
howlers for immediate independence

ing, even if they are trying to mas
sacre all the Christians in the empire.
The agitators attribute the recall of
half our troops from Cuba to the need
for them in China to protect our citi-
zens and interests out there. and thew
think 1t will hurry along independence
for their beloved land. They hope for
all sorts of trouble in China, so that
the United States will have to send
more troops, and this they expect will
free the island of the last American
soldier. They want the American gov
eminent kept so busy in the Philip
pines and in China that it won't have
the men, money or time to fool with
Cuba.
Thus they hope the country will be
dropped right where it is into their
hands. The less of a well-established
government they have the better these
chaps will like it, for it will give them
the better opportunity 10 work out
their own schemes and fill their own
pockets.
The conservative element. even that
part of it which wants eventual inde-
pendence, hopes no such necessity will
arise that the United States will re-
move the rest of the troops. And they
feel confident that there is no danger
of this. The violent agitator, who is
either way up in his hopes or ever
lastingly pessimistic. has taken the de-
parture of the Second, Fifth, Eighth
and ordered departure of the First in
fantry regiments as the beginning of
the immediate fulfil.ment of his wishes
and so secretly rejoices in the ruc-
tions of John Chinaman on his native

PRESERVE YOUR sELF-REsPEcT

You may not be a nabob nor "sassiety's"
elect.
But you can be manly man and hold your
seif-respect;
Though hands be hard and horny and rough
features black with CRIME,
Industrious independence may be with you
all the time:
Kid gloves are never merit-marks, silk
stockings don't make man,
Preserve your self-respect and do the very
best you can.
The man who owns his money may get
pleasure in that plan,
But the man owned by his money bends
beneath the devils ban,
For cash is but curse to one who plates
his heart with coin,
And poverty can never as much happiness
purloin;
If you without a dollar would be of the
Lords elect,
Be master of your manhood and preserve
your self-respect.
Scorn sordid souls who sacrifice to dol
lars every joy,
Who mix the gold of manliness with Nam
mons dirt alloy,
Who auction off their honor for a paltry
dollar bill.
And for some cheap preferment noblest
instincts curse and kill;
The man who knows his duty will such
ruin-bait reject
Will squarely face the sunshine and pre-
serve his self-respect.
shun all who play the pirate with some
other fellows boat,
Who traffic in their principles, their voices
or their vote,
Who wriggle like low reptiles on a self
made shiny trail
Whose soul-sails shift like wings Of bats
to fit each changing gale;
With missing links of looseness never let
your lives connect,
But couple up to courage and to solid self
respect.
What profits it though evil triumph for
few heeting years,
your cold 1ll-gotten money dampened by
the wronged ones tears,
Your honors trimmed with sadness and your
glory with remorse,
The animal donkey that you fancied was
a horse?
Avoid all dirty doings, each a danger and
defect,
Just manumit your manhood and preserve
your self-respect
