CARE OF THE EYES.
Excellent Plan to Keep Them in Good
Condition

Condition.
Eyes do not have sufficient care and
attention from their owners, especially
when one realizes how much is owed to
them.
An excellent plan is to battle them
and to keep. the lids wide open when
the ablution is taking place. To do
this bright silver coil should be
tossed into bowl of clear cold water.
1t will, of course, sink to the bottom,
and when the face is plunged into the
water the eyes should be firmly fixed
upon the glittering silver bit. Then
let the eyes be kept open and the
head gently moved from side to side.

Jessie Ackermann in the Housekeeper.
At some time or other it has been
my lot to employ practically every
mode of transportation in existence. In
America we hardly realize the fatigue
and hardships inseparable from jour
neys along untrodden paths in China,
Africa and other regions where the
shrek of the locomotive is rarely
heard. What would the American wom-
an who regards even a 100-mile journey
in Pullman palace car as an ordeal
to be avoided, say to a ride in a rick
ETY. old wheelbarrow, a common expe-
rience of mine in the remote portions
of the Celestial kiegdom? In many
parts of China horses and Carriages
are attached to every well-regulated
household, but leaving the ports we
find the horse an animal almost as
rare as he promises to become in our
own country when the automobile has
fully come into its own.
In many provinces there are no reg
uar roads, and the use of carts is
impossible. Here the natives have de-
vised a means of locomotion unknown
elsewhere the "wheeIbarrow built Tor
two" 1t is somewhat different in con-
struction from the American wheel
barrow, but propelled in like fashion.
The wheel is much larger and come up
4nrough the center, with room for a
seat on each side. One is intended for
the traveller and the other for his bag
gage, and the weight of the baggage
must balance that of the passenger. 1
was not aware of this important prin-
ciple when l started for my initial
ride in a Chinese wheelbarrow, and
consequently my debut was rather lop-
sided. But l soon overlook d mission
airy who was bound for the same place
l was, and l invited her to ride with
me. With this young lady and my
baggage on one seat and l on the other

put a heavy strap over his shoulders,
and, fastened the ends to the wheel
barrow, he pushed with all his might.
we made slow progress, and l suggested
to the missionary that we walk a while
to rest ourselves. We did not know
that it was necessary for passengers to
alight simultaneously. At my sugges-
ton my companion jumped lightly from
her seat, and my meight throwing the
vehicle out of balance, l was landed
unceremoniously by the wayside. l
rose from the dust. shook myself, and
declared at the nearest village that
would forever abandon the wheelbar-
row, even IL it meant the completion
of my journey on foot.

Tor revolutionary sentiments and &C
tlV1tles. In the last generation, he said,
the legislation of the country had been
many controlled by capital and in
not a few of the states the sale of
legislation was a regular business. In
conclusion Mr.. Anderson said
IF capital fails to recognize the
necessity of just laws, respected and
obeyed, it may expect little mercy at
the hands of it's adversaries when they
discover their real power. If social
ism comes, the main responsibility will
rest upon the capitalistic organiza-
tons"
Lewis d. Brandeis, a lawyer, and
Prof. Eugene Wambaugh of the Har-
ward Law School discussed trade union
incorporation, the former favoring 1t.
and the latter saying it would be I'M
constitutional, inappropriate and dan
gerous.
President Eliot of Harvard summar-
lzed the question of the Incorporation
OF the trades unions in the statement
that If they wanted it there seemed to
De no objection, and if they did not
want 1t, there was no objection. There
was, however, an objection to the i'm
position of money penalty and this
whole talk of Incorporating trades
unions was fairly attributable to a de-
sire to get at them and impose a fine
or collect damages.
1T must be noted" said Mr.. Eliot,
that the activities of trades unions
involve only moral responsibilities. The
positions of the unions is virtually that
of 10000 men who systematically per-
NIT moral and physical violence in
the attainment of their ends in the lin
1tation of output, than which there is
no more corrupting or degrading in
huence.
"Unskilled laborers cannot gain their
aims in labor struggle without per-
hitting violence, but this is a moral
question and not one of damages. TO
attempt to get at them vindictively, by
inducing or compelling Incorporation
and making them financially liable is
not at all the way to settle the prob
lem."

william & II. II. LnttimOre's store
on BrOuEhtOn street Was Burg
Iarized.
Caught in the business establish
ment of William & H. H. baltimore,
No. 10 Broughton street, west, to which
they had effected an entrance through
the sky-ight, Frank Smith and John
OGorman, two 17-year-old boys. were
run down and arrested shortly be-
fore o'clock this morning. A third
boy, a member of the party escaped by
jumping from second story window.
The arrests were made by officers Tul-
lis and Cohen. Had it not been that
they were detected by an old negro
woman who lives in Broughton lane.
the bold young thieves would probably
have been successful in their daring
burglary. The old woman. attracted
by noises in the lane, slipped out of
bed and peered through the shutters.
There she beheld three dark figures
moving about on the roof. She dressed
hurriedly and sought an officer and
told him what she had seen.
The officers quickly surrounded the
place. Two of the boys attempted to
escape by the back way but, were
run down and arrested. The third boy
made a daring leap from the second
story window, allghting on the pave
ment on Broughton street in heap. He
quickly gathered himself up. and dis
appeared in the warkness. The police
have the name of the youth, and 1t is
probable that he will be arrested to-
day. Both Of the prisoners deny that
there was any one with them, though
they admit knowing the suspect.
The boys, after entering the store
through the skylight, went to the low
err stories and turned out the lights
This attracted the attention of Riley
Brown, who was standing on a near
by corner and he called the attention
of those with him to 1t. But they mere
ly laughed at him. saying that it was
a delusion. A few minutes later the
old negro woman, half clad, rushed
into the street and excitedly told the
| officers of the burglary.
The burglary was evidently a we'll
planned one, and the boys must have
had excellent knowledge of the prem
Uses. The two prisoners were taken to
the barracks, where they were locked
in separate cells, so that they might
not communicate with each other. The
police are confident OF landing the
third member of the party.

REPORT OF MILES
GIVES 'EM TROUBLE
Demands Made That the Full Text Be Given Out
Officials Have to Yield

Washington, May 14.-Secretary Root
and a number of other officials in the
War Department to-day received a cir
cular letter from Herbert Welsh Of
Philadelphia, which has also been
mailed to a number of private individ-
uals, in reference to the report of Lieut.
Gen. Miles.
Welsh desires that letters be adj
dressed to the President Secretary
Root and others. asking them to pub
lish for the information and guidance
of the country the fun report of Gen.
Miles regarding affairs in the Philip
pine Islands. He suggests that they
especially request that the report Of
Maj. Hunter into the facts Of the whip
pings of Filipino prisoners of war for
the purpose of extracting information
from them be included in the publica-
ton.
He says he has not seen Gen. Miles
report, having in vain tried to secure a
copy of it from the War Department,
but believes that it contains facts that
enlightened citizens should have. He
says that 600, 900 souls have persisted in
those islands from war, famine and
pestilence, under the United States
flag.
