Protection for Working men.

workmens accident bill has been
submitted in the chambers at Brus-
sells and stands q good chance ot
passage. 1t marks new step in the
struggle to secure state protection for
laboring men. AS the law stands at
present a workman has no claim for
CONDENSATION unless the accident is
due to negligence on the part of his
employer. The onus of proof lies
with the claimant, who is naturally
placed at disadvantage in pleading
case against his more influential
opponent. This clause is suppressed
in the new measure, which simply
provides that for accidents giving
rise to less than a fortnight's inca
pacity no claim shall be allowable,
but beyond that period compensation
shall be paid by the employer even
should the accident be traced to the
fault of the claimant. The amount OF
indemnity is fixed at half the suffer-
er's average earnings in case OF total
disability, or in case of partial inca
pacity to half the difference in his
wage-producing power for which the
accident is responsible. In another
section of the bill the employer Is
offered the option of insuring himself
either in the national Caisse
d'Epargne or in a private company
approved by the state. and the con-
tracing society is bound to take over
all responsibility on the score of aC-
cidents, the employers liability ceas-
ing entirely. If he decline to insure,
the workman's claim for indemnity
becomes first charge on his estate
after the payment of ordinary wages,
and he is further obliged to capitalize
certain sums for future compensation
and pay the amount into a state bank
or insurance company approved by
the state. The law is made to apply
also to agricultural laoorers inlrre"

FOREIGN COMPETITION.

The reduction of the rate of inter-
est in the United States is bringing
about great change in the industrial
conditions and is removing one of the
chief props Of the protective tariff.
Manufacturers are nearly always large
borrowers, and the high rates Of in
terest that prevailed until the last few
years, was one of the chief reasons
why they could not compete with their
foreign competitors. This barrier Is
now removed and the charge that we
are still unable to compete with for
eigners is well answered by the Chi
cago Chronicle, which says:
Somebody signing himself "A Lanca-
shire Cotton Spinner" writes from
Highland Park to Chicago contem-
porary to offer proof that English cot
ton mills are far behind the pale of
competition from the United States
Some twenty years ago the late James
G. Blaine, when secretary of state, pre-
pared an official report showing that
even then American mills could pro-
duce common cotton fabrics at less
cost than English mills could, and that
the only reason why Americans needed
protection in this branch Of manufac-
ture was because their plants cost more
and the rates of interest were higher
in this country. Lately we have heard
a great deal about the abundance and
cheapness of capital here, and our SUI
l.. Nj .NAt ~
plants, and so on. Then can 1t be true
that as competitors we are relatively
worse off than we were in 1881? True,
our cotton manufacturers are still ham
dicapped by our tariff to considerable
extent. But they are less so than for
merly because machinery costs less in
spite of the tariff, If, then, we are less
able to compete We must have retro
graded, relatively, in skill.

THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE
PRESIDENT.

The supreme court decision on the
Porto Rico cases has made consider
able flutter on the presidents train,
according to the correspondent Of the
Washington Post, who accompanies
the party on the trip. He forecasts
the action of the administration to
meet the new conditions in the Phil
ippines brought about by the decision
as follows:
The president will probably issue an
order applying solely to the Philip
pines, imposing upon goods exported
from these islands to the United States
a rate of duty equal to the tariff i'm
posed by the Dingley law upon the
same articles entering the United
States. This, it is believed, will close
the door by a method certain to be
sustained by the supreme court if a
test case should be brought before
that tribunal for decision.
Some consideration was given to the
question whether the president had the
power, under the Spooner act, to i'm
pose a duty in this country upon ar
ticles imported from the Philippines.
The general opinion was that grave
doubt existed as to whether he pos
sessed the power, and,it seemed to be
accepted that the export duty plan Off
fered the most feasible solution. The
Importance Of speedy action was en-
phasized, in view of the fact that If
the matter is left unsettled until con-
gress meets next December, there will
be very large importations from the
Philippines without the payment of
duty. In addition to this it was re-
allied that the exporters of Chinese
tea, which pays 10 cents pound duty.
and Chinese silks, which are also sub
jected to high tariff. would send their

The eervant Question.

A radical change in housekeeping
methods is inevitable. In that change
will come the sure remedy for the
phase of industrial discomfort that
we as housekeepers confront In
kitchens. The relations between mis-
tress and maid will yet be wisely ad-
iusted; there will be full recognition
by each of the rights and duties or
each. Reciprocity will be strictly
maintained, and domestic service
given its rightful and honored place
among leading industries. Then
homework will attract, and not, as
now, repel capable, intelligent wom-
en-, without whose faithful service an
ideal home-life may not be preserved.

WONDERFUL oEYsERs ,
OF YELLOWSTONE PARK.

No other Region In tho world Aboxnds
In Such a Variety of Attractions.
The most wonderful scenery in the
world is in Yellowstone National Park,
the great natural curiosity shop Of the
universe. Nowhere else, within equal
bounds, are found so many natural
wonders grouped, almost as IL by de-
sign, for the Special convenience of
sight-seers. The wonders of the Alps
and the ,HimalI yas, could they be gath
cred together and compressed into an
equal space, could not hope to rival in
grandeur, in variety nor in number,
the attractions OF the Yellowstone.
Were all the attractions except the
geysers removed, the region would
still. be famed world wide, drawing
nature lovers from all countries to
witness the exhibitions of unequalled
power of these matchless giants,
WHICH, with roar that may be heard
long distances, spout huge columns Of
seething water high into the air, sus-
taining them there for varying lengths
Of time. Old Faithful. with a regular
ity that begot its name, at intervals Of
Go to rs minutes, sends up huge COL
umn Of water $50 feet into the air, re-
manning active for four minutes. Giant,
with deafening roar, spouts $50 feet
every third day for 80 minutes, while
Giantess, at longer intervals and with
slightly less power, maintains activity
for twelve hours at a stretch. Many
others, at intervals ranging from FIVE
minutes to several days, spout water
to- varying heights, remaining active
for beriods'rangfng from one second to
an hour or more. In all, there are
thirty-three members of this inter-
esting Geyser family of sufficient
impoftance'to deserve special mention.
Twenty-eight Of these are in Upper
BASIN and when several of them, with
their, rainbow, tints, scouting at
once, the scene is Undesirable. Other
scenes Of grandeur that abound in ia
voFed =. mountainous regions pass in
endless review before the enchanted
tourist. all sense of fleeting time being
lost in their admiration.
Travel to the park, following i'm
proved transportation facilities, has
greatly increased in recent years.
Leaving the Oregon Short Line at
Monida, Montana, after a pleasant
ride through changing scenes from
Salt. Lake City, comfortable stage
coaches run to and through the park,
making the trip at easy stages in five
days; -four of which are spent among
natures wonders, and the other among
delightful scenery. Good hotels are
conveniently located in the park for
sight-seers, where one may stay indefi-
hitely, at very reasonable cos.

Since the opening the the training
school for nurses in connection with
the hospitals large numbers of women
have taken up that vocation. The
trials to which they are subjected In
relation to their health and strength
present serious grounds for considera-
ton. In thesfirst place, their lives In
the hospitals are very strenuous. The
neophyte enters upon her duties filled
with a burning enthusiasm which suf-
fers great abatement during the early
weeks of training, as the young wom-
an briggs into action her untried pow
ers. Her feet swell and become very
painful from the long hours of remain
ing upon them. Her back aches from
STOPPING over while making the beds,
and attending to the patients. The
unaccustomed sights, which wiring her
heart with pity, cause her sleepless
nights. She is put on mental stretch
to meet the requirements of an intelli-
gent and exact obedience to directions,
and to carry out the instructions and
accurately, to measure the medicines
which she is to administer. Upon the
discharge of duty in a proper manner
hangs the life or death of her patients.
Her two or three years course In the
hospital gave her the training, SO that
when she goes forth to her work on
her own account these matters Of de-
tail do not pull down her health. There
are other conditions that will. AS a
general thing, the trained nurse is an
enthusiast in her profession, and does
not spare herself. When her patient
is very i'll she wrestles with the doctor
to save the life, and 1t Is due to her
PERSISTENCE and unremitting labor
quite as often that the results are sue
cessful; for however much knowledge
and skill physicians may have, If their
medicines and directions are not prop
erely administered the result will be
a failure. This devotion to her work
lead her to expend her strength reck
lessly. She does not take the sleep
that she ought to, nor the exercise in
the fresh air which is necessary to her
we'll being. The people for whom she
gives her services are selfish in the
matter, and do not arrange for her in
these respects. 1t is not infrequent
that the nurse takes the disease of her
patient and succumbs to 1t. The ex-
pense of nurse prevents their gener-
al employment, and it is only in the
large cities that they can feel certain
of an assured income. They do not
remain long in the work. for one rea-
son or another, partly because of the
strength, and partly because they mar

Photography Without Dark Room.
The continued experiments of Prof.
F. E. Nipher of st. Louis with posi-
tive photography" have produced some
very interesting results. He says that
the plates may be separately wrapped
in black paper at hight, Or in dark
room, and all the remaining work can
be done in the light. a plate is taken
from its wrapper in the light and
placed in the slide holder, and an ex
posure-a long ore--is made. After ex
posture the plate IS taken out in the
light again, ami placed in the develop
ing bath, and the picture is developed.
and may be fixed, in the light. The re-
suit is positive. Fine pictures are
thus obtained. While it is desirable to
shield the plate from the light as much
as possible during the changes, yet.
Professor Nipher says, all OF the OPP
eratons may be carried on without
any darkroom conveEicnces that may
not lie secured even in the open fields.

A London newspaper describes
school in which there can be no sug-

pupils. An English woman is the
teacher, and the fifteen scholars are all
princesses of the royal family of Siam.
The instruction is varied. The sight of
a princess with broom or engaged in
baking indicates the practical nature
of the teaching. To wash clothes thor
oughly lay the table properly, ar.
range flowers, in short, to acquire
good knowledge of housekeeping, is
one branch of accomplishment which
the royal group neither scorns nor
Sights. There are American girls, &C

not care to be photographed as broom
users, cooks or washers, from false
idea that useful work might detract
from their social rating. The royal
women of Siam, on the contrary, seem
to covet the best domestic gifts.
