After the services we were invited
into what is known as the "Cruci-
fiction" This is a very beautiful
painting done in Munich. The en-
tire city, the Mount of Olives, Geth-
semane, the home of Joseph of
Aremathea and many scenes in the
life of the Saviour, are here very WV
idly portrayed. The final seen is the
cruciiction of the Saviour. A real
Greek showed us the pictures and
lectured most, interestingly about
them.
This afternoon several of the party
witnessed the ball game at the Amer

a number of us are going out to some

REMARKABLE STATEMENTS.
Woman Novelist Says, Among other
Things, That "Women Are Not
Selfish Enough"

Mrs. Craigie, better known as John
Oliver Hobbes," the well-known novel;
list, has sent the following communica-
ton to the London Mail as a contribu-
ton to the discussion Of ''The Growing
Handicap Of Marriage:
Women, where their feelings are in
question, are not selfish enough; they
appraise themselves not too dearly, but
far too cheaply; 1t is the suicidal unsel-
fshness Of women which makes the sell
fishness of the modern bachelor posi-
BILE. Bachelors are not all misogynists,
and the fact that man remains un-
married Is no proof that he is insensible
to the charm of a woman's companion
ship, or that he does not have such COM
partnership. on irresponsible terms, to a
most considerable degree. Why should
the average vain young man, egoistic
by organism and education, work hard
or make sacrifices for the sake of any
particular woman, while So many are
too willing to share his life without
joining 1t, and so many more wait eager
ly on his steps to destroy any chiyalry
or tenderness he may have been born
with? Modern women give bachelors
no time to miss them, and no oppor-
tunity to need them; their devotion is
undisciplined, and 1t becomes a curse
rather than a blessing to its object.
Why? Because women have this strange
power of concentration and self-abnega-
ton in their love; they cannot do
enough to prove their kindness. And
when they have done all, and have been
at no pains to secure their own posi-
ton, they realize that they have erred
through excess Of generosity and the
desire to please. This is the unselfsh-
ness shown toward bachelors"

WOMEN BARRIERS IN INDIA.
Are Liable to Desert an Objection
able Customer When he Is
Only half Shaved.

In India, where mans trade is almost
always determined by that Of his father,
the village BARRIERS form a class apart.
They always marry in caste; their wives,
like themselves, are descended from
countless generations of BARRIERS.
These women shave and cut hair as
skillfully as their husbands, fathers and
brothers. Most customers steer clear OF
them, however, for they have way OF
leaving men whom they do not like half
shaved and then driving them through
the streets of the village with jeers and
mockery. 1t Is terrible disgrace to an
Indian to be seen only half shaved. The
poor villager covers his face with his
turban and goes home fllled%ith sorrow
and shame.
The BARRIERS wives are most In request
as nurses and are useful in attending
sick children. When children suffer
from any kind of throat complaint, such
as bronchitis or a cough, the BARRIERS
wife can be depended upon to cure it,
She rubs the child's throat with some
mixture made Of herbs applying 1t with
her finger. 1t is rough treatment, but
singularly effective.
The BARRIERS wife has regular custom
ers in all the Brahmin widows Of the
village, who must have their heads
shaved twice a month or so, in token
of their mourning. Their mother or
widow sister of barber always takes
up the profession of midwife. Very
frequently she is an angel OF death in
that capacity, being both cruel and ig
norant Medical missions and zenana
work are, however, driving her out OF

THE sOuTH's WEAK LEADERSHIP.

1uE SUu n WERN ICNuGnSHh
The Richmond News Leader under the
above heading says that President Alder
man, of the University Of Virginia, in a
speech before the Southern Society in New
York on Friday night, the 10th inst,
declared that the ability of the leader
ship OF the South is weak" The News
Leader agrees with him fully, and assigns
various reasons for the condition. The
weakness in political leadership is among
the admitted facts. But the News Leader
says: "Our leaders and our people are
thinking OIL lines far wider than we knew
ten years ago"
The way the. leaders thought and acted
in the recent campaign does not indicate
that political thought has been much
broadened at the South. And then wheG
we look to the character of the lead
ership the declaration of our Richmond
contemporary is not sound. Tillmsn,
Vardamau, Money, Carmack, John Sharp
Williams and men of their ilk control
thought in those States of the South that
seem to lead the political thought of all
the section. There will have to be new
leadership before there will be thinking
on broader lines. Until then the leader
ship of the South will remain weak.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER %, 1904.
TARIFF REVISION.

Every time the Republicans say any
thing about revising or readjusting the
tariff the Democrats begin to shout aloud
for what they call tariff reform. 1t was
whispered just after the election that
Prt sident Roosevelt was in favor Of tariii
revision, and that he would call an extra
session, in the Spring, OF the next Congress
to legislate specially on that line. This
was claimed by the opposition to mean
that the Republican national platform
contained promise or pledge for reform
ing the present tariff law; and that it was
in response to such pledge that the Presi-
dent proposed to take action. Acting
upon this idea, the Democrats proceeded to
fix the time when the extra session ought
TO be held and renewed their assaults
upon the protective pUliLy Of the Repub-
lican party. They even made many sug-
cestions as to what could be accomplished
bV a fusion of the Administration sup
porters and the Democratic members ID
Congress. Of course the proposed fusion
was based upon the theory that the Presl-
dent would be so unwise as to make an
assault upon the economic policy OF his
own party. Though the Democratic
party has given way to many foolish i'm
pulses, this one to create a rupture IN
the Republican party over the tariff is the
most ridiculous of recent occurrence.
Now that the President has made known
that no extra session of Congress will be
called in the Spring; and he having evlnc-
ed no disposition 10 quarrel with the lead
ers of his party on the tariff question, we
hear no more of the fusion between the
Administration forces and tie Democratic
members in Congress.
There may be some inequalities in ex-
listing tariff schedules, but the present
tariff law was constructed upon the proper
theory, the doctrine of protection, and ii
is not likely that many notifications IN
the schedules are needed or will be made.
Much talk has been INDUCED in by the ene-
mics Of protective policy as to the in
eouitsble and oppressive features of the
Dlngley law; but no reasonable facts OF
figures have been produced to substanliAte
the claims Of those who have so talked.
When we hear persons abusing the
present tanf law and claiming that 1t is
inequitable and unjust, We naturally call
upon these persons-to point out the OPP
pressiye features and chow us the class OF
classes of citizens that are being injured
So far the grumblers have been unable to
respond inieligently to such requests
They have INDUCED in reckless assertions
that can be supported by no Legitimate
proof.
The Republicans in the next Congress
should, and will no doubt, give careful IN
yestigation to the tariff and make any
proper changes that are deemed necessary
in the present schedules. If the tariff
needs revision the work must be done sin
the house of it's friends" Any revision
suggested by those who are the enemies oil
protection should be carefully avoided.

90 IN PRESIDENTIAL YEAR.
Salmon Of the Pacific Coast Never
Known to Run During the
Campaign.

The crop OF canned salmon on the
Pacific coast lie worth about $12,OOOOOO
year. and therefore that fish outranks
all others in its direct value to mankind,
says William E. Curtis, In the Record
Herald. The average crop Is S,bO0,OOO
cases Of AZ cans each, or total OF
168, O00,000 cans; an average OF two to
every inhabitant of the United States.
An ordinary fish will fill four cans;
hence the average annual pack repre-
sents about 42,O0O,O 900 fish.
This years pack is failure, as 1t Is
every year in which president Of the
United States is elected. The returns
are not all in yet, but the best judges
estimate total Of only 2,25O, 900 cases,
the smallest crop since 1896, which was
also a presidential year.
1t is also remarkable fact that SAL
mon run in the greatest abundance in
the year in which the president Of the
United States Is lnaugurated. The year
following the Inauguration only fair
run is expected, while on the third year
Of the presidential term the fish are
out in reasonably large quantities. Dur
ing the period of presidential elections
the fish are exceedingly shy and scarce.
They are only seen In small schools.
and keep out Of the way of traps, nets
and all fishing devices. DR.. Jordan,
president Of Leland Stanford university,
who is famous ichthyologist and ich-
thyophagus, says that, assuming the year
Of the Inauguration, which is the big
year, to yield 100 per cent, the next
year may be expected to produce so per
cent, the third year 65 per cent. and
the year Of the election So per cent. This
singular proposition is borne out by the
statistics, and Is something more than
coincidence.
