srazIl,a rmDroved Postal Card.

Our postal card is in need of i'm
provement. The writing on it is in
plain view, to be read at leisure by
any postal employee from the time it
leaves the sender until it arrives at
its destination.
During my first stay in Brazil I
found that the postal card there IN
use vas supplied with a flap or cover
ing Of dark paper which, when gum
med down, completely hid the writ

back of the card an edge gummed
and perforated, the insertion of Q
finger tip being all that was required
to open 1t. 1t served the purpose OF

New Mode Of oEmbaImlna Meat"

New Mode Of "E mbalmIHg Meat.
The use of perservatives with ar
ticles Of food, and especially with
meat has come into such disrepute
through recent abuses that most Of
these agencies and the methods Of
employing them deserve little con-
sideration. A new plan is reported
from France. Il is briefly described
by lie Nouvelliste," and is credited
to Dr. Roux, the bacteriologist IN
charge Of the Pasteur institute in
Paris. The substances which he uses
are not specified, which jlstifies
little suspicion about the story. The
most novel feature Of the method is
that the "embalming' operation is
conducted Immediately after death, it
not before. The paper just mentioned
says That the Minister of War has
lust given orders for a test Of Doc
tor Roux's method on a large quantity
OF meat under conditions resembling
as near as possible those prevailing
during time of war. Consequently,
next week in Paris a certain number
of animals will be slaughtered, which,
after having undergone the necessary
operations, will be distributed among
the different army corps after a GER
tain time, a given route Of transporIa-
ton and most minute inspection.

TAFT TALKS ON THE CANAL
Secretary of War Delivers Address
Before Ohio State Bar
Association.

Put-in-Bay. O., July u.-Secretary OF
War Taft. in his speech this afternoon
before the state bar association, after
apologizing for not having selected a legal
subject began his address upon the Pan
anna canal by giving reasons for the Sc
lection by the government Of the Panama
route and explaining the apparent delay
in the actual work of excavation. The ne
cesSity or improved sanitary conditions
being established before the actual work
of construction was actively commenced
was strongly emphasized. and it was
shown that the nearly 5000 employees
had in reality accomplished more than
any one realized in the building and
equipment Of railroads, the construction
of water supply and building OF thou
sands of homes for those engaged in the
work.
1t was pointed out that the actual eXea-
walton was much less of a problem than
was what to do with the material when it
was taken out, much of which had TO be
carried fifteen miles, requiring the build
ing of over 800 miles of spur tracks.
The question of obtaining sufficient la
Dor was shown to be serious one, and it
had been necessary to employ large num-
berS of natives and Cinnamon, three of
whom would do less than an aVera &c
American workman. The estimated cost
of the Panama route was placed at $780,
00O0, and the time of completion about
seven years, against a cost of $3OO, 900 O9o
and seventeen years for the completion of
the work had the Nicaraguan route been
chosen. The speaker said that the Amerl-
can people were disposed to be in too big
a hurry to "have dirt fly and that it
had been necessary for those in charge to
Withstand a great deal of political stress
while carrying out the preliminary work.
MIR Taft spoke without manuscript, and
his talk was supplemented with number
of official mans.

STRIKE AT BUFFALO.
Freight Handlers Demand an In
crease in Wages.

Buffalo, N Y July ia general strike
of freight handlers has been declared at
this port for an increase in wages from
II TO 20 cents an hour. The trouble had its
inception yesterday, when the freight
handlers at the New York Central freight
house quit work, alleging that an agree
ment whereby they were to receive higher
pay from the 1st of July had not been
carried out.
When work was resumed at the docks
today it was supposed that the Strike
would be limited to certain handlers, but
the transportation companies were disap-
pointed, for a general strike was de-
clared, affecting all companies where
freight handlers are employed. In con-
sequence a heavy detail of police was
sent TO the docks On their arrival they
started to drive away the strikers, who
were congregated along the docks. Some
of the strikers resisted, and the police
made a charge. but the strikers stood
their ground. The police were determined,
and began to use their clubs To this
the strikers responded by throwing stones.
The police, however succeeded in clearing
the docks So far as could be learned no
one was seriously injured.
