Postmaster General regulating Sec

1t doesn, t regulate anything, unless
it be the consciences of the postal
officials who have winked at eva
sions of the law governing second
class mail. 1t merely provides for
an enforcement of the law, which
the Postmaster General and every
one of his subordihates have all
along been under oath to support.
If this order is strictly enforced it
will simply prove what has been as

fall about Sunday the 18th, to

reasons why we should expect a
decided change from very dry
weather generally in August, but
some startling downpours of rain
and hail are quite probable in mar

middle of August, or until the
effects of the Earth's September

lightning will result in the immedi-

drops in the temperature will
follow the sections covered by the
storms, thence spreading into wider
areas, cooling off the heated atmos-
phere generally.
On and touching the 18th, 18th,
10Th and goth, many severe summer
storms may be apprehended in
various parts of the interior, and
on the lakes and sea coasts. This
is the midsummer storm period,
and 1t may be expected to result in
decided disturbances and changes
in weather conditions. One Of the
changes will very likely be to much
cooler weather generally, running,
with occasional brief changes to
warmer, into September, which
month we believe will not be so
terribly warm as it has been the
past few years.

that happiness is the absence of all
pain, mental and physical the enjoy
ment of it can only be found in heaven.
But SO far as the physical is concerned.
IT IS within easy reach; at least, snlea S.

sum Of human misery in this line is
made up Of greater or less degrees Of

easy to reach and as easily cured,
There are none in the whole category,
which, If taken in time, cannot be cured.

= Consumption in Cattle and Man.

Professor Koch recently startled the
world by announcing, at the congress
for the study of tuberculosis, in Lon.
don, that the tuberculosis Of cattle is
an entirely distinct affection from con-
sumption in man, and that the money
and labor that have been expended in
fighting the disease in COWS were vast
ed SO far as the health of man is con-
cerned. This is no new doctrine. It
is not the doctrine generally held by
physicians, many Of whom regard the
drinking of unsterilized milk from TIL
berculous COWS as cne of the most pro-
life sources of consumption of the
bowels and glands in young children.
It is in this country especially that the
belief in the non-communicability of
cattle consumption to man finds it's
chief adherents. It is based on the
facts that the inoculation Of human
tuberc1e bacilli in cattle has failed to
produce tuberculosis in these animals
and that dairynen and. others who
may be in close contact with diseased
COWS suffer less frequently from con-
sumption than city dwellers who have
lothing to do with cattle and seldom
Or never drink milk.-Youth's Com

$215,350, an average of a, little over 81
each for employees of all ages and both
sexes.
The average wages of the weavers
are about $500 a week for six loom
workers on print cloths, $3.50 for eight
loom workers and $11 for ten loom
workers. The classification means
that the worker is capable of properly
running the number of looms specified.
On fancy work, such as bed spreads,
a weaver may earn higher wages than
the highest stated with four or more
looms. Carders earn from 81 to SO a
week, and card grinders about SO a
week. Slasher tenders earn about s11
a week, and loom fxers about $12,
while spinners receive from $11 to SIT.
Of the Weavers, about half are women
and minors. The slasher tenders,
loom flxers and the mule spinners are
all men and the carders are nearly all

|. MINERALS in. PALESTINE
Industrial Awakening Along Miners

Industrial Irl'l1 Awakening Along Mineral
Line IN Holy Land.
ii Palestine long has been considered
interesting solely as the Holy Land q q
and the only trade which has sought
TO exploit it has been that OF the
i personally conducted Z tour. But this
may be changed soon, for valuable
mineral deposits have been discov-
cred beneath the historic soil. A Ger
man mining engineer in Palestine has
written to his home: Valuable min
.eral treasures have recently been dis
covered in Palestine, so it is safe to
say that the Industrial awakening Of
the Holy Land is no longer a dream. It
is true that the greater part of the
once dourishing country is a barren
desert. The lines Of communication are
miserable, and traffic is unsafe, aside
from the one railroad from Yafa to
Jerusalem. The newly discovered min
eral deposits lie on both sides. Of the
Jordan and the Dead Sea. The salt de-
posits of the Dead Sea could be devel-
oped into an industry. The waters hold
chlormagnes brommagnesium and
calisalt. Aside from this, there is
the bituminous chalk springs of Nebi
Musa, which contain from 80, to 40
per cent asphalt. The most important
of all the deposits is phosphate. AS is
we'll known, natural calkphosphate,
phosphorite and coprolite are neces-
sary for the production of superphos-
pilates. This latter composition and
sulphur form the most important in
gradients in the preparation of arti-
fetal manure. AT present the phosphate
mines Of Florida almost supply the
worlds demand. The immense fields OF
phosphate to the east and west of the
Jordan need only better means OF
traffic and communication in order to
insure their development. This, it
would seem, is not far distant, as the
Turkish Government is planning a. con-
tinuation of the Yafa-Jerusalem Rail-
road, and steamboats, are already ply
ing the Dead Sea.-NeW York Press.

Recent discussion OF the position oc-.
scupied by the Irish language reminds
us that, though there il happily no
fear Of Irish becoming extinct, . kin
. dred Celtic language has died out. Cor
nish Is as dead as Queen Anne. Not
quite sd dead. perhaps, for it survived
little later than that much-quoted
lady There have been six Celtic Lam
guages that have come into inmedi-
ate contact with modern times. These
are Welsh, Cornish and Breton, which
may be grouped together as Cymric
or Brythonic;; Irish, Scotch, Gaelic and
Manx, which are Goidhelic. Breton is
struggling bravely against the French.
Whatever may be said of the Scotch
Gaelic and Manx,s Welsh and Irish
may yet resist the supremacy of the
Enghsh. But poor Cornish is altogeth-
er a thing of the past It only survives

same sense as Greek or Latin: it died
without leaving seeds for any possible
resurrection. Slow and sure was the
mode of its extinction. -". =: ~.
When. the Reformation came an
English Bible and an English service
book struck the death blow. The
share which the Cornish took in the
western rebellion: was in some sort a
last struggle of racial impulse. "Cer-

claimed the stout Cornishman; "give
us back our old service in Latin. We
utterly refuse this new English"
Probably they had understood Latin
no better, but they had an instructive
feeling that this new English must do
away with their loved national speech.
unhappily none of them loved the
Old speech well enough to do the
right thing. No one took the trouble
to translate the Bible or the Liturgy

The Are to Marry,

. Oliver Wendell Holmes, in the course
of a letter to a young friend who had
married, wrote !:
II do, indeed. congratulate you on
changing your isolated condition into
the beatific state of duality. The very
moment one feels that he is falling into
the old age of youth-which I take to
be from twenty-five to thirty, in most
cases-he must not daily any longer:
the first era in his life is fairly closed,
and he may live half his bright days
over again if *woman's pure kiss, sweet
and long, comes only to his lips before
1t is too late. If he waits until the next
epoch of life begins, there is great dan
ger that he marry his wife as a jockey
buys a horse-sensibly, shrewdly and
merely as a convenience in his domes-

THEIR SHOE TROUBLES.
Viennese Boot and Shoemakers Fea1
American Competition,

Viennese Boot and Shoemakers Fear
American Competition.
The question o. whether or not
American boot and shoe shops are to
be opened in Vienna threatens to as
sumo international proportions. The
Viennese boot and shot makers, hay
ing appealed to the government to
prohibit the invasion of American
competition, today received a reply to
the effect that the authorities decline
to interfere. So soon as the decision
Of the government became known rep
resentatives of the American firm,
Messrs. Barthmann, who are waiting
in Vienna, concluded their arrange
ments for taking suitable shops, six
teen in number. Herr Bitz, president
Of the Boot and Shoe Makers League,
told a representative of the "Fremden-
blatt'' that the American invasion
means utter ruin for thousands of
Austrian shoemakers. American man
ufacturers can make shoes, send them
across the Atlantic, pay duty on them,
and sell them in Vienna at 4 shillings
a pair less than the Viennese shoemak-
ers can possibly supply them for. Herr
Bitza declared that if Messrs. Barth-
mann opened shops in Vienna there
would be trouble, because the Viennese

fully determined to employ violence
against the American invaders Rep

credit of having last spoken Cornish
is given to Dolly Pentreash, who was
buried at Paul, near Mousehole, In
1775. But she could not have. heen
the last person toSunderstana Cornish;
otherwise it isecertain that the fol-
lowing epitaph could not have been
written over her remains: ss i.
Co Doll Pentreath caus ha deau
Marrow ha Kledys ed Paul plea: {. 5.t
Ma ed an egloz, gan popel bras,
Bes ed egloz hay Goth Dolly is.
Which signifies: "Old Doll PEN
treath, one hundred and two, dead and
buried in Paul Parish. Not in the
church with great people, but in the
churchyard old Dolly lies" It is easy
to recognize two words here, "eglog''
and 'tpopel'' (people), as genuine Latin,
just as We similarly find an in
fusion of Latin in present-day Welsh.
But traditional knowledge of Cor
nish, fast becoming corrupt, fingered
after Dolly's death; it is even said that
only ten years ago there was living at
Zennor, near ST. Ives, an old man
who knew good many Cornish words
which he had learned from his father.
These words seem to have been chiefly
the names of places. It is only about
two centuries. since the clergy Of some
Cornish parishes, particularly toward
Lands End, used to preach to: their
people in the old tongue.
For a parallel to Cornish we may
now go to Brittany and hear the peas
antry talking. It has been said, rather
doubtfully, that these peasants, when
they come over with onions, can go
into the cottages of Welsh folk and
converse. This sort of thing would
have been far more possible in Corn
wall few centuries since; the Bretons
and Cornish are very much Of one race
and their speech shared the kinship.
There is still Cornish dialect, which
differs from Devonian, and which con-
tains few old Celtic words; but on
the whole the words of West Country
speech are old Saxon-it is only the
accent and intonation that are Celtic.

Rev. Mr.. Thompson spent many years
of his long and useful life as mission
ary among the Indians of the West.
The great exposure and the drinking Of
so much bad water brought on Diabe-

which, however, was averted by the
action of M. G.. D.. Borden. an inde-

eighteen miles away to the northwest
ward; Taunton, Mass, is seventeen
miles north; New Bedford, Mass, is
fourteen miles east, and Newport, r.

Fall River produces more than
three-quarters of all the print cloths
made in the United States, has one
seventh Of all the spindles in the
country, and about fourth of those
in New England, and more than twice
as many as any other city in the coun-

miles of cotton cloth every working
day. It is estimated that s47,O00, 900 is
invested in the industry, although the
incorporated companies conducting it
are capitalized at only $23,S01, 900. The
number of spindles in the mills is 81
