THE PRESIDENTS CABINET.
President Mckinley Expresses the Desire
that All the Members of His
Cabinet Remain.

Washington, Nov. 14.-President Nc.
Kinley yesterday announced clearly
and forcefully to the members of his
cabinet his desire that they should
all remain with him during the four
years of his coming ADMINISTRATION.
His wishes were made known in an ex-
tended speech at the cabinet meeting
in the White House. Responses were
made by all of the members present,
and while there were no definite
pledges from any of them that they
would accept the portfolios thus tend
cred afresh, there was, on the other
hand. no definite d~eclination.
Yesterdays preceding set forth
the wishes of the president in the
matter and relieves the members of
the cabinet of the customary obliga-
ton of rendering their designations
at the end of the term, unless they
have made an irrevocable decision
that it will be impossible for them to
continue in Office. 1t also sets at rest
all speculation and slate-making of the
country's political prophets, for it is
understood generally hat there is but
pne doubtful factor in the homogenity
of the present cabinet. That factor is

his present position at a great finan-
cial sacrifice. Still, Mr.. Griggs replied
in terms of warm appreciation to the
complimentary remarks of the presi-
Ia~f md rosool M <a-o~ 80 rn-
firing from his present position.
This is not the first time hat the
president has expressed to the men,
bers of the cabinet his pleasure at the
support they had given him. He said
as much in a general way at the last
cabinet meeting when the members,
several of whom had been scattered
by the politicalcampaign, got together
for the first time, and congratulated
him on the outcome of the election.
Yesterday the president evidently
had prepared for the occasion, and in
his address reviewed the work of the
administration in the past four years.
four of the most exciting years the
country has known in three decades.
1t was rather a surprise even to the
cabinet members themselves to note
how accurately the president had
fixed in his memory the sequence of
events and how calmly he r~elinquished
the personal credit for successful
strokes of policy or prudence and at
tributed the honor to the members of
his official family in whose immediate
departments the matters in question
had arisen.
He said that if the result of the re.
cent election was an Endorsement OF
his administration it was no less an
stood by him in the time of stress and
adversely.

WOMEN MUST SLEEP.
Avoid Nervous Prostration.

If you are dangerously sick what is
the first duty of your physician? He
quiets the system, he deadens

Friends ask, "what is the cause ?"
and the answer comes in plying
tones, nervous prostration. It came
upon you SO quietly in the beginning,
that you were not alarmed, and when
sleep deserted you night after night
until your eyes fairly burned in the
darkness, then you tossed in nervous
agony praying for sleep.

SOME ADDITIONAL POINTS.
One of Them COntemplates Making
Peksn m Open Port.

feksn IN Open fOrt.
Washington, Nov. 14.-In addition
to the points said to be agreed upon
at Pekin, as a basis for settlement
with China, as announced in cable
dispatches, it is understood that sew
eral other points are likely to re-
ceive attention when the matter is
taken up with the Chinese ENJOYS.
One of these is as TO making the city
of Pekin an open port" for while
it is not on the sea coast, the purpose
is to extend to it that freedom of
commerce and intercourse with for
eigners which now applies only to
those open ports designated by treat
les with China. The suggestion that
this action be taken has been made
in high Chinese quarters, and its adj
visibility is urged because Pekin, as
the capital of the Chinese empire, is
the center of influence throughout
the country.

WOMAN IN CHINA.
Although tho Sex Is Contomned, 1T
Members Exercise Great Power.

Although tho Sex Is Contemned, It's
Membern Exercise Great Power.
1t is the commonly accepted opin-
ion in this country that the women of
China are little better than slaves.
Yet the records of the kingdom are
full of examples of women famous
for their learning, heroism and high
principle. Sometimes women achieve
absolute power over the household,
for there is a popular saying: she
eats rice with her husband" which
is used to express the rule of the fe-
male tyrant. The most astonishing
instance of feminine power today is,
of course, the career of the dowager
empress, Eszi-Chi. 1t is said that to-
day the greatest mandarin or emma
would far rather face the Emperor
Kwangsa than the secluded lady whose
firmness has often been tried and
never been broken. In common Win
all other nations, the women OF emma
represent the most fervent rellglous
element They are said to indorse
enthusiastically the boxers move
ment and to be fighting with passion
to help rid the country of the de-
tested missionary. That the women
of China do not lack courage is
proved by the fact that they some
times seek suicide as relief from un-
happy marriages, and uncongenial
husbands would frequently be muir
dered were it not for special punish
ments, "ignominious and SLOW" de-
vised for all women who should at
tempt homicide. The mere existence
Of this law proves the necessity for it.
Again, not long ago fifteen young
girls Of Canton threw themselves into
the river to escape from marrying the
husbands chosen for them.

FACTS ABOUT GLASS.

Attention was recently called to the
proposed use Of glass brick in building.
The most ancient glass has necessari-
~ the same component parts as that
Of to-day and the processes used seem
to have been similar in all times.
From England comes the suggestion
that glass would be better and more
lasting material than stone for making
monuments which are exposed to the
wearing action of the weather.
1t is now said that the government of
Switzerland has approved the use OF
glass for making weights to be en-
ployed with balance scales. A pecul-
arly tough kind of glass is to be Sc
lected for that purpose.
A change from old methods is that
of fashioning glass by machine pressure
instead Of molding by blowing. In the
pressed glass the articles are either
made by hand or machine pressure, anc
this innovation has done much toward
making glass articles much cheaper
than formerly.
No industry except that of clotl
manufacture has contributed so mucf
to the comfort and advancement o
man as that of glassmaking. which i:
one of the Oldest OF technical industries
It's earliest home was Egypt. The Brit
ish museum has a lions head of gias
