WORTH INITIATING.
Indian. of the omnh. Tribe Train The

Indians of the Omnha Tribe Train Their
Children.
Mr.. Francis La Flcsche. an Omaha
Indian. has recently published an ac-
count of the training Of children in
the tepees of that tribe. No child is
permitted to interrupt an elder per-
son. or to pass between two persons
who are speaking" says the author,
still less to come between them and
the fire. We were strictly en1oined
never to stare at strangers, nor to ad-
dress any one by his personal name
without a title. From his earliest
years the Omaha child was trained In
the grammatical use Of his native
tongue No mistake was allowed to
pass uncorrected. No Indian parent
ever whips his child. When 1t COM
mlts a fault the entire family assem-
bes in solemn conclave, and it Is sum-
moned and reproved with such gravity
that it never forgets the lesson" These
are not civilized red men. but the
class known to us as "savages.' Lon
don Truth lately gave an account OF
the training given in Tokyo IN the
prefecture OF police. The Japanese po-
licemen are taught to knock gently on
the doors of houses before they enter.
Under no circumstances are they to
talk roughly. Rough talk intimidates
the innocent, while the hardened GRIM
inal does not mind it," In executing
search warrants they must not dis
turb sleeping children or inValids.
They must deal kindly with dogs be-
longing to strangers; hospitality is due
TO animals as well as to men. No
amusement must ever he shown at the
mistakes of foreigners. Every ehor
must be made to impress strangers
with Japanese politeness and all peo-
pie with the kindness as well as the
Justice of Japanese law.

her side, feet swell. and was generally
miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly
replied with advice, and under date OF
March. 1899, the mother writes again
that Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or moro
frequently from mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter
Tradition says "woman must suf-
fer" and young women are so taught.
There is little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. If young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examina-
tion but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.

THE BEN DE LENDS CASE.
Application for an Appeal Dismissed
 by Supreme Court.

The United States Attorney yester- day received a certificate from the United states Supreme Court to the effect that the court had dismissed the application of Ben De Lemos, of Lowndes County, for an appeal from the decision of the lower court convict ing him of pension frauds and sentenc- ing him to five years in the peniten- tiary.
 It will be remembered that the case was taken to the Court of Appeals at New orleans.

Comment of Papers.

London, June Recommending upon Sir Alfred Hickman's rejoinder to Lord George Hamilton. Tho Daily Chronicle says:
 "As Sir Alfred Hickman points out. British trade is looking after itself ex- tremely well. However. he proves too much. because, if Rritisn firms are full of business, where is his grievance? It seems that what really fills him and others like him, with alarm in the fact that British tr2dc paramountcy ts threatened. We nna5t admit that this paramoultcy is doomed. but the ankle ty on he subject is Gu!te sentimental.
 The Daily Mail also comments upon Sir Alfred Hickman's letter. It de- fends American locomotives and a7ks for furthe4 evidence concerning the Goktiek viaduct. It considers the fact that British firms are obliged to refuse orders not a sign of prosperity, but sign that they fail to keep sufficient stock,

ANSWER OF HICKMAN
HE AGAIN ATTACKs .AMER1CAK
 LOCOMOTIVES.
Ayers That They Consume Mezs Full and Early Show Signs Of WeAH. ! Cheapness Due to
 Tariff, /

London. June 3.-Sir Alfred Hickman former President of the British lror Trade Association. has replied to the response of Lord George Hamilton. Sec retary of State for India. to his recent attack in the House of Commons upon American built locomotives and bridges. He quotes from the report ei the Murah Railway Company for the first half of 1900 to show that American locomotives used on the line burned 35.5 per cent more fuel per train for each mile and 2s.5 more per vehicle for each mile than British built loco- motives; and he declares that the al- terations alluded to by Lord Hamilton were made in the tenders only so as to enable the carrying of more fuel. Af- ter inquiring why certain reports have not been published, he says:
 The British railway officials seem resolved to screen the Americans at all cost"
 After inquiring why, If American competition is founded on superior chemical research and technical edu- cation, British makers should be full of orders from Americans to deliver immediately at any price, he remarks:
 Surely, that is some evidence that the world outside the Indian railway officials consider British engines and material better, and, in reality. cheap CT. The official locomotive engineer re- ports to the Burmah railway that the engines show early signs of wear and want of strength, and that cheapness in the first cost is not true economy"
 Sir Alfred then cites Egyptian rail- road reports against Belgian engines. and quotes from an Assam railway report. dated April 16. 1901. saying that American locomotives takes A per cent more coal and 25 per cent more oil than the British p:oiuct. This, Sir Alfred ayers. exclusively proves bad workmanship.
 He affirms that tke great advantage which continental and American m 1n- ufacturers have over British rn1nufac- turers Is due to wha. practically amounts to export bounties. adding:
 The American engineer has a pro tected market which enables him to make enormous profits at home. even to sell at loss abroad. still getting a venture to assert with confidence that but for the s7 per cent duty. we should sell more engines in America than the Americans would send here"
 Discussing the Goktiek viaduct in Burmah, Sir Alfred says Lord George Hamilton refuses to give MT. Constable an opportunity of proving his state ments about the bad American work, lon the assurance of gentlemen who have proved their paftia.ity to the American bridge building company by showing them in advance and In pri- vate. estimates for the projected bridge over the Irrawaddy. and who. by every shift and contrivance. have en5eavored to slave off the publication of the re- port of their own engineers"
 Sir Alfred's long a'raignment con- cludes with a request for the appoint ment of a committee to investigate the subject
