Ronnets Made of Glass.

Articles of dress are now being ex
tensively made of glass. A Venetian
manufacturer is turning out bonnets
by the thousand, the glass cloth of
which they are composed having the
same simmer and brilliancy of color
as silk, and, what is a greater ad-
vantage, being impervious to water.
The spun glass, when soiled, is simply
brushed with a hard brush and soap
and water, and it is monet the worse
for being either stained or soiled. The
material is to be had in white, green,
lilac, pink and yellow, and bids fair
to become very fashionable for even
ing dresses.-Answers

The Teaching of Journalism.

Among practical newspaper men, to
whom the smell of damp paper is
sweet incense and the caustic criti-
cism of the galley boy is stimulating
condescension, the efforts of we'll
meaning educators to establish
chairs of journalism" in our higher
institutions of learning are viewed
with good-natured indulgence. AS a
matter of plain truth, the best prepa-
ration for a newspaper career is a
good, sound, well-balanced university
education without regard to specializa-
tion or the cultivation of a writing
style" Thus equipped the young
man or woman is ready to study
journalism" where experience is
served hot from the. skillet. If the
candidate has the qualities that make
for success they will develop very

Child PLAYED With Lion.

The spectacle of lion playing with

messed at Vryheid, in Natal. A Dutch
farmer, accompanied by his wife and
little boy, was out shooting game.
Suddenly the attention of the parents
was drawn to the child who had tod

wild flowers. Growing with delight
the little fellow was pulling the hair
of the full-grown lion, and the animal
appeared to be enjoying the opera

quietly away, followed by a lioness

SHORTEN CUBAN REVENUES.
Object TO Ten Year Treaty With
Great Britain.

Havana, Oct. 9.-FOlloWiA2 ne p1b-
licatiOn this evening of the tex of the
ten year treaty of commerce and navi-
cation between Cuba and Great
Britain the ratification of which is
now pending in the senate, the Ha-
vana chamber of commerce gave out
for publication the text of the report
made to it of the foreign returns com
mittee of the senate in response to a
request for advice as to whether the
treaty ought to be ratified and which
as stated by the Associated Press
September 10, declared emphatically
against ratification.
The report of the chamber OF com
merce says as Cuba has few mer-
chant ships and no warsbips the re-
ciprocal privileges granted by the
treaty would be wholly in favor of
Great Britain and that the liberties
conceded to British vessels in Cuban
waters would probably have the effect
of seriously shortening the FevenueT
of Cuba since Cuba had not enough
revenue service ships to watch her
coasts. At the same time Cuba was
not in a position to enlarge her mari
time service while the treaty would
be effective in extending encourage
ment to the other contracting party
to enlarge it's marine service. Under
such an arrangement the Cuban mar
inc service probably would entirely
disappear.
The report goes on 10 say that the
liberty of "pertrecharse" "a Spanish
term meaning the resupplying of YES
sells with munitions of war; granted
by the treaty TO British warships
would be likely to involve Cuba in
most unwelcome complications and no
modifying clause for the observance
of the law of International neutrality
in the event of war. Cuba would not
be benefited by such a convention
with a free trade nation AS treaties
of the kind were beneficial only when
entered into with countries Offering
reciprocal tariff concessions This.
the report says; is especially true at
this moment when a treaty of Daviga-
ton with the United States has been
projected, the intention Of which is
the concession of mutual tariff reduc-
tiOnS on products carried in Ameri-
can and Cuban ships.
The chamber, which is composed OF
leading Spanish and Cuban merchants.
holds that Cuba should look to the
tual tariff favors instead of granting
concessions wholly favorable to the
other contracting power.

The Hearts Behavior.
rom the Philadelphia Record.


recent publication of Ann Arbor Uni
versity describes an instrument for securing
a continuous graphic record of the pulse
rate In man which affords valuable indica-
tons of the hearts work. The records
showed that the commencement of muscu-
lar work is followed almost simultaneously
by marked acceleration of the pulse. In
fact, this modification of the pulse rate Is
observed in the next heart cycle after the
work begins. In typical cases there are
three well-marked stages; primary rise,
n period of sustained acceleraton and
secondary rise. Similar stages of decrease
in rate occur after the work stops. The
;}pldity of the pulse during work depends
aot only upon the amount OF work done
but much more upon the manner in which
it is done. Speed and resistance are fac
tors requiring separate consideration, and
of these two speed has the greater infiu-
ence. These records show that while mus
cular work may not appreciably require the
expenditure of bodily forces it immediate
ly reacts upon the heart, and that converse
~ cessation of muscular exertion is an I'm
mediate relief to the heart.

Should Doctors Tell the Truth.

From the New York Globe.
The suicide of a man in the prime of life.
shortly after being informed by a phys-
clan that he would soon become perma-
nently blind, raises a question of consider
able ethical interest. namely. whether ii Is
right for doctor to blurt out such terrible
truths to his patients, even In answer 10
their repeated and insistent questions. To
not a few imaginative persons sudden and
complete loss of sight, after its full pos
session and enjoyment, is worse than actual
death itself, so that the latter becomes a
ready means of escape. Absolutely hope
less and painful diseases belong In the
same category. The propriety of telling the
patient that he Is certainly doomed to dia
in a few weeks, or months. or years, has
been much discussed by the medical pro-
fession, but there seems TO be no uniform
practice or code for dealing with such pitt
full cases.
r. Brudenell Carter says: Among the
many difficult questions which often pre-
sent themselves in the course of medical
practice few more difficult. independ-
emily of legal liabilities or obligations, than
those which turn upon the extent to which
an opinion especially an adverse opinion,
concerning the probable issue of an illness
ought to be communicated TO the patient
or his family. 1t must be borne
in mind that an adverse medical opinion
is a distinctly depressing agency. and that
the business of the doctor is TO sustain the
vital powers and to obviate, as far posi-
BILE. the tendency toward death" After
stating that in the majority of cases where
the end Is in no doubt 1t is perhaps Justi-
fable to inform the patient of his approach
ing DEATH he continues: There are peo-
pie upon whom the fear or even the pros
pect. Of death exerts distinctly paralyZing
influence, of such a nature and extent that
the doctor If aware of the personal equa-
ton involved, would hardly be justified in
any circumstances in allowing such pros
pect to be presented to the sufferer.
