J. J. Hill, president of the Great Northern railway, says that he ap- proved of that portion of the presi- message which concerned the trust question. He had seen the message several days before it was made pub lie and thought the president was wise in leaving congress to determine the remedy for trust evils. Asked if, as a railway president, he could approve the message, he said: "Our company certainly has nothing to fear.' He compared many of the trust promoters to the late MT Krupp of Germany. whose country and employees had been greatly benefited by the fortune he had amassed and the great aggrega- ton of capital he had centered in a single industry

STUCK TO HIS EYEGLASS.
The English Diplomat Wore It, Even When He Was Capsized in
 the Sea.

Recently a party from the embassies at Constantinople went to inspect the international lifeboat service on the Black sea coast. At one of the life- saving stations they thought they would like to test the conditions of lfe-boat work, so, clothing themselves in bathing costumes and cork jackets, they each took an oar in lifeboat, to the huge delight of the Turkish boat men.
 One of the secretaries of the British embassy is never seen without an eye glass, and is said even to sleep with it. On this occasion he was faithful to his eyeglass and solemnly embarked in a cork jacket and eyeglass. All the prop CT exercises were gone through, and finally the boat was capsized and rightedagain by it's own crew. As they crept out from under the capsized boat howl of surprise came from the Turks, for the secretary's head ap- peared, with the eyeglass firmly fixed in it's proper position, it's owner talk ing it as matter of course that it should be there.

 night
 Took refuge in the mansion lone and

-yhere woman rs the Boss.

There is remarkable community in Abyssinia where the women, with out holding meetings or agitations of any kind, have emancipated them selves, says Golden Penny. All the women work hard, while the men are idle; but by way of compensation the house and all it contains belong to the wife, At the least unkind word she turns the husband out at night, in storm or rain, and he cannot come back until he makes amends by the gift of cow. The wife considers it a duty to abuse the husband, and if she were weak enough to show any love for him in life or grief at his death, she would be scorned by her tribe. The wife, without any reason, may strike her tent and go, taking with her one-third of the joint posses sions. The husband, unless he is travelling, may not live out of his tent.

LOBSTER CLIMBS TREES.
Inland Sea Captures of the East In- din Islands That Are Fond of
 COcoanuts.

In the East Indian islands is. found @ curious lobster which climbs trees. AL though it prefersa home on land it at times feels a longing for the water, where it goes to moisten it's gills; and here the eggs are laid, and the young are raised on the coast, where they have the benefit of salt air, always good for children. But most of their time is spent inland, living at the roots of trees where they have burrowed deep hollows which they carpet lux uriousIy with fibers stripped from CO., coanuts. aT ane@ s.9'e sat@ S1 asf9aa
 They come out. of these homes at night to climb the palm trees, for all though it seems funny to us, their climbing is quite serious business to them, since it is, in this way that they secure the cocoanuts of which they are so fond and on which they live princi- pally.
 To get at the contents of the nut the lobster first tears away the fiber which covers the three "eyes." (You must all have noticed those black spots on one end of cocoanut that makes it look like the wierd face of a monkey.) It hammers away with its claws at these spots or "eyes" until a hole is made, when it extracts the kernel by means of it's smaller pincers. Sometimes af- ter drilling through the perforated seyc" it grasps the nut in it's claws and breaks it against stone.

InsuIt to the Irish.

Magistrate Brann is an Irishman, and intensely proud of his lineage. It is one point upon which it is not safe to chaff him. Recently number of boys who had been arrested for some petty offense were taken before his honor. Among them was one whose speech and general appear ance stamped him as Italian. Some body had told the boy to give an Irish name and tell his honor he was Irish.
 The magistrate questioned the boys until he came to the young Italian.
 Whats your name?" he asked.
 Mickey da Casey" replied the youngster, amid roar of laughter. I'm Irish.''
 "Oh, it's Irish you are, are you?" snilingly replied his honor. Well, so am I. and I'll just fine you ten dol lars for insulting an honorable race.n Chicago Post.

According to the enactments at pres ent in force in France, children may not be employed in workshops, mines, mills or factories before they have at tained the age of I3 years writes a contributor to the Engineering Maga- zine. For children, minor girls and women, the maximum length of the working day was fixed at II hours, but since the beginning of 1902 this has been reduced to 1O1s hours, and after a period of two years it is to be still further reduced to 10 hours. Chil- dren under IS years of age, and wo- men, are required to have one day off in each week. With the exception of mines and of establishments in which furnaces are maintained in continuous operation, the hours allotted to repose are required to be the same for the en- tire working force, in order that the household life of the families may be maintained. The inspection service is y | are eleven division inspectors, with salaries ranging from 6O0O to 5000 francs, and ninety-two departmental inspectors, with salaries from 5000 to 5000 francs. In case of any violation of the laws the employer is subjected to fine of to 15 francs. A repeti- ton of the offense renders him liable to further fine of Is to 100 francs. The maximum fine which can be in fiicted is 2.000 francs, under certain provisions of the law of 1893. Final ly, if the proprietor of an establish ment, after second warning. fails to comply with the measures of security or health imposed by the inspector, the commission is empowered to close the works.

The republicans are getting ready to do lot of things to the trusts. A correspondent, says that Senator Gull
 1om has already presented a measure which prohibits interstate commerce in articles produced by trusts and re- quires the officials of corporations, against whom charges of monopoly are brought to submit such facts and figures to the attorney general as he may call for, not for general publica- ton, but for his. own guidance. All trust legislation in the senate, how ever, is likely to meet with a serious obstacle in Senator Hoar, who does not believe that justice can be done the subject during a short session. In the house more vigorous effort seems likely to be made. Representative Littlefeld says that he hopes to see a bill presumably modelled on the measure he offered last session, re- ported from the Judiciary committee before the holiday recess. Repre- sentative Jenkins, who is the unani- nous choice of the committee for chairman, to succeed Representative Ray, resigned, also favors prompt ac- tion. Representative Hepburn has offered bill in accordance with the presidents recommendation that more funds be furnished the attor1ley gen. eral for the purpose of enforcing the existing law. The bill appropriates $500, GOO for the purpose of fighting the trusts and is regarded with approval by many influential members of the house.

HOW TO PREVENT GROUP.

It will be good news to the mothers of small children to learn that croup can be prevented. The first sign of croup is hoarseness. 4 day or two before the attack the child becomes hoarse This is soon followed by q peculiar rough cough. Give Chamber lain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the rough cough appears, and it will dispel all symptoms of croup. Tn this way all danger and anxiety may
 be avoided. This remedy is used by many thousands of mothers and has never been known to fail. It is, in fact, the only remedy that can always be depended upon and that is pleas ant and safe to take. For sale by

There was an extraordinary occur renee recently in a cheesemonger' shop in the Avenue Parmentier, Paris, relates Pearson's Weekly. One of the tradesman's customers, who had in- vited five friends to dinner, had pur- chased large cheese, and when it was cut into the stump of a hasS smoked cigar was found in the mid de. The host and his guests marched round iu body to the cheescmonger to demand an explanation and the return of the money or the substitu- tion of another cheese, but the trades man refused all three propositions, and even suggested that they ought the cheese, but half cigar as well. One of the guests then threatened to report the cheesemonger for sell ing toDacco without permission. High words followed, and at length the customer picked up the offending cheese and hurled it with correct aim at the dealers head. A regular battle ensued. The shopkeeper was backed Up by his wife and three as- sistants and the customer by his friends. The counter was piled with cheeses of various kinds, and these were converted at once into missiles, while the butter also came in handy. The uproar- attracted the attention Of policeman, who arrived just as large Dutch cheese crashed through the window and caught him on the chest. When the officer had recoV- cred his breath he separated the com batants and took them to the police station, where they were discharged with a caution
