Doesn't Worry Him Much. At Home
Wherever He Happens to BE.
The religion of the republican
nominee for president, Mr.. Taft, is
under review.
The fact that Secretary Taft is a
Unitarian has been printed. but in
order to make it official a statement
was given out at the white house.
The statement adds that Mr. Taft
also frequently attends the Episcopal
church, of which his wife is a mem
Der, and that at his summer home
in Murray Bay, Canada. he has
taken great interest in the Presby-
terrain church.
Friends of the SECRETARY also point
ed out after the statement had been
issued that his action in the Philip
pines friars' land cases had shown
his friendship for the Catholics, and
one especially close to Secretary Taft
said he had often heard him speak
highly of the Methodlsts.
AS boy in Cincinnati Mr.. Taft
sometimes attended the German
Lutheran Sunday school with his
playmates, and among his most val
ued advisers are several Baptists of
prominence. On more than one oc-
casion the secretary has accompa-
med President Roosevelt to the
Dutch Reformed church in Washing

Man Lives Four Month With Part.
and Then Dies.

After living for nearly three
months with four ounces of his brain
removed Joseph Ritz, a tailor of
Brooklyn, n Y, is dead.
On April Bird Ritz attempted sui
eide by shooting himself in the head.

where Drs. Edward McNulty and
James F. Kennedy took out about
four ounces of brain matter. For a
time it was believed that Ritz would

tors Say It's killing Him.
Life is not a funny proposition to
Joseph Barosky, &c years old. but
he is laughing constantly and hilar-
iously, and Cincinnati hospital phv-
sicians say he will die unless he
stops.
Barosky says he can't. Cigarettes
are to blame. He had a good lob
in a brewery, he says, and when he
lost it he found sOlace in cigarettes.
Other Russians in the tenement at
1888 Gest street, Cincinnati, where
Barosky lived until recently. say Ba-
rosky rolled more than 100 smokes
a day. Cigarettes wrecked his nerves
and he went to the hospital. He left
there because objection was made to
ms smoking, and returned to his
countrymen in the West End.
About a week ago the young man
started laughing. He laughed when
he ate, he laughed when he talked,
and he laughed in his sleep. In a
week he lost ten pounds in weight
and other Russians. becoming
alarmed, took him to the Cincinnati
Hospital.
He is registered as being afflicted
with laughing hysteria." which the
doctors say is a nervous disease.
Barosky is undergoing treatment
and the doctors believe if cigarettes
are denied him he may recover. He
still calls for and smokes cigarettes.

$4,000, OOOON FIREWORKS
RECENT FOURTH OF JULY WAS
GLORIOUSLY EXPLOSIVE.
The Making of Pyrotechnics Gives
Employment to Twenty Thousand
Persons in This Country.

Employment to Twenty Thousand
Persons in This Country.
The fact that this Fourth of July
Will go down in history as the most
glOriOusly explosive by day and spec
tacular by night of any that ever
kept firemen on the jump and ply
sicians on the hunt for chunks of
powder embedded in the anatomies
of small boys would incline one to
think that the manufacturing of fire
works must be quite a business.
Well, it is. The making of pyrO-
technics in this country gives en-
ployment to 10000 men and women.
Between $S,O00,O00 and 100000
600 worth of fireworks were burned
up in America during the celebra-
ton of the last Fourth of July 1t
is estimated that this year the fig
ures exceeded that sum by fully
.$2,0GO.000.
No frecrackers are made in this
country, all that are used here be-
ing imported from China. Up to a
few years ago Chinese crackers were
shipped by sailing vessels, but the
frequent big losses entailed by
weather interfering and delaying
voyages until the celebration was
over led to a change Of method and
now the shipments are made by
steamship. The last of the fleet ar
rived several days ago.
In the manufacture of the fire
cracker the Chinese use the cheapest
kind Of straw paper. The straw pa
per is first rolled by hand around an
iron rod, which varies in size accord
ing to the size of the cracker to be
made. To complete the rolling a
rude machine is used. In filling
crackers two or three hundred are
tied up in a bunch and red clay is
then spread over the ends and forced
in with a punch. While the clay
is being tamped in water is sprayed
on it, which makes it pack closer.
After the crackers have dried powder
is poured in at the other end. and
with the aid of an awl the edge of
the paper is turned in and the fuse
inserted. Since the war in the east
the cost of the firecracker has I'M
dergone a slight increase.
At Canton the ordinary cracker
was previously quoted at one tael
(62 cents) per 10000, a price which
was said to be only a fraction above
the cost of making. The small man
ufacturers sell to chinese compra-
dores, who buy as agents of foreign
firms, ship the crackers to the sea
coast, where they are packed in
boxes
The fact that all of the material
used is produced in China, the kind
of labor used and the wages paid
accounts for the extraordinary cheap
ness of the imported firecrackers.
Cost of plant is eliminated by the
fact that the crackers are made in
the homes of the Chinese cOolie
The hours of labor are from a. m.
to II p. m, and there are seven
working days in each week. A very
large proportion of the work is done
by women and children and nearly
all of it is piecework. 1t is esti-
mated that 80 men and 10 women
can make 100000 crackers per day.
for which work the women receive
five cents each and the men seven
cents each. An apprentice is bound
for four years, and during that time
receives only his board The trade
is considered unhealthful and dam
gerOus.

Tips as Necessaries.

We pay tips for almost every serv-
ice. We dislike to do so, not only be-:
cause it seems un-American, but be-
cause there is an uncertainty about
the amount which compels every man
to do more than he feels he should
lest he be Inundated by a servant.
All efforts at abolishing tips in this
country have failed. We pay them in
larger amounts than in Europe,
though. perhaps not quite so uni.
versally. We tip waiter 10 per cent,
at hotel or restaurant: when often
His income exceeds ours. But we dare
not..face his stony glare if we give no
pourboire. We are towards in a sense
and we are foolish in another. If we
are to tip we ought to have a recog.
nized tariff, so that man may know
what he is to pay. To give man
in the Mushroom dime, man at the
courtroom dime and a waiter half
a dollar may be nothing to some men,
but it disturbs the frugal mind and is
not scientific.

WORK OF THE VOLTA BUREAU.
institution That 10 Doing Much Coco
Among the Deaf.

On quiet street of Washington's
once fashionable neighbor, George
town, there is building whose pecu-
liar appearance arouses the curiosity
of all strangers who see it. It is
something like library, something
like mausoleum and something like
a small Christian Science church, with
roof garden on top.
1t is none of these. If you know
what it is, even after you are told it's
name, you may step right 'along to the
head of the class. Persons who know
about the Volta bureau are not plenti-
ful enough to get in your way.
The story of the Volta bureau is in
teresting. The beginning of it lies
back in Italy more than $50 years ago,
when Alessandro Volta, who was to-
make study of electricity, was born.
Later Napoleon had a great opinion
OF the Italian scientist and established
the Volta prize.
This prize, a great reward for in
ventions or discoveries, is not con-
ferred at regular intervals. In fact, it
has been given only three or four
times. In 1880 it was voted to DR..
Alexander Graham Bell in recognition
of his service to the world in produc-
ing the telephone.
The prize amounted to about $10,.
300. The original $4,000, throug h in,
restments, became 100000
Part of this money was used for
that building Of battling aspect in
Georgetown.
Part of the structure really is a Ii
orary. and absolutely unique at that.
At the rear Of the building, which is
ireproof, the steel book stacks con-
tain thousands of books, periodicals
and pamphlets, forming the most re-
markable collection of statistics in re-
gard to the deaf that exists anywhere
IN the world.
DR.. Bell has the best reasons for
being interested in the deaf. His own
wife is what used to be called deaf
mute, though it is no longer an accu-
rate term. Mrs. Bell has been taught
speech, and as she is an accomplished
lip reader many persons have met and
talked with her without discovering
her deafness.
1t was DR.. Bell himself who taught
her to speak. His father, Alexander
Melville: Bell, invented the system
known as visible speech and sent his
son from Scotland to this country to
introduce the method in schools for
the deaf here.
Among the young mans pupils was
a daughter of Gardiner G. Hubbard.
Her teacher fell in love with her, and
she became the wife of the inventor.
The Volta bureau corresponds with
almost every civilized country in re-
gard to work for the deaf. On it's
shelves are books in all languages. It's
aid is sought by various governments.

as near to affairs as we would be on
our own farms in the States. Winni.

Chicago did at home; and Edmonton
with the surrounding region advances
as Omaha did in the days when we
were as young as the boys yonder.

every line is stimulated. This is

Calgary citizen continuing, land then

in this good air and on this fertile soil
we intend to show our old friends
that we are made of the right stuff
that we are chips of the old block
