for yourself. Get as much salary as
you can. writes Orison SWEET Marden
In the Success Magazine. but remem-
Der that that is a very small part of
the consideration. You have actually
gotten an opportunity TO get right into
the very heart of the great activities

drink in. through your eyes and your
ears, knowledge wherever you go in
the establishment, knowledge that will
be invaluable to you in the future.
Every hint and every suggestion
which you can pick up, every bit of
knowledge you can absorb, you should

MAIL DELIVERED TO SAILORS.
River Postmen Employed on the
Thames at London, England.

u Is probable that London has the
distinction of being the only port where
ships lying at anchor are privileged to
have their letters delivered to them
by river postmen. IL being customary
at other ports for sailors TO apply per-
sonally for their letters unless the
ship Is In dock The Thames Is di-
vided into two postal districts. each
under the control OF a river postmau,
who delivers letters and parcels every
morning In craft which resembles
fisher boat more than anything else.
or these districts the first extends
from the custom house to Lime
house, and the second from Limehouse
to Blackwall. The river postmen start
on their rounds punctually at eight
o'clock every morning, and. needless

A Tunnel for the Statesmen.

For the convenience OF statesmen q
tunnel has been constructed from the
capitol to the new Office building just
completed for the members of the
house. Tho house members find the
tunnel very convenient in keeping out
OF the wet and also in doiging constit

intervals when they wish to avoid
meeting the latter, \ statesman can
disappear into the capitol building and
emerge ten minutes later from the

TRAINING OF Children.

Treat the child more as an equal
not as hopeless inferior. There
isn't much need of coming down to
his level as of giving him an oppor-
tunity TO come up to yours-which will
not require such frightful effort on
his part as you sometimes imagine. II
you can get child TO recognize and
treat you as his equal you will have
gained the highest possible position
of influence over him and earned the
best and sincarest compliment ever
paid you. We dwell greatly upon
what parents teach their children, but
We forget TO record in equal detail on
the opposite side of the ledger what
our children teach us. II would be
difficult to say on which side the bal
ance would be found to fall The child
is not merely the ideal pupil but also
the greatest teacher in the world
The lessons that we learn from him. II
We approach him with proper hu.
mility, are the most valuable part of
our education.

BOARDS OF HEALTH
 OF NORTH AMERICA SUBJECT OF LEPROSY UNDER
 DISCUSSION The Government Found Unprepared
 to Deal With it.

Washington, June 4.-Leprosy, tu- berculosis and the pollIItions of streams formed the principal themes today in the conference of state and provincial boards of health of North America.
 With regard to leprosy, pr. w. c. Woodward of the District of COlum- bia, chairman of the committee on a national leprosarium reported that no- progress had been made toward the establishment of such an insti- tuition. The absurdity of the federal government, arresting lepers for vio- lating interstate quarantine laws and regulations only to return them to their home states, without having any practicable method of compelling them to remain there, and the inn possibility of the federal government restraining lepers without having a suitable place in which to care for them, all pointed he said to the ab- solute necessity of a national Iepro- sarium.
 Taking up tuberculosis DF~ John P. Foster said it was a question for municipalities rather than for the states. He advocated education for the public with regard to the milk supply.
 Regarding the pollution of streams the committee appointed to consider the subject, recommended that as the federal government had nc control over the matter many of the most difficult problems might be settled by the states.

Sacramento, June 4.-Italian Consul General Rocea, stationed in San Fran cisco. acting upon telegraphic requests from his countrymen at McCloud to- day sent the following telegram to Governor Gillett: Noting that you have ordered several troops of the state militia to McCloud, l avail myself of the opportunity to request that the said militia be cautioned to afford the most constant protection and security to the persons of my people"
 The governor replied as follows: Any subjects of Italy who are not violating the laws and need protection from the violence of others will be af- forded protection; I will so advise Ad- jutant General Lauck. If you have any influence with the subjects of your country who are engaged in rioting and disturbing the peace in McCloud, I wish you would exercise it and request them to desist. By doing so all trou- ble will be averted. From information received by me I do not apprehend that the persons of your subjects are in danger The only trouble existing comes from Italians who are threaten ing to do personal violence to others and to destroy property"
 Later Consul General Rocca advised the governor by telephone that he would send some one from his office to the scene of trouble

LA TOILETTE TO PENROsE
The Wisconsin Senator Thinks the PennsyIvanian Had Better AccountF or the Way He Spends His Own Time When Not on Duty.

Washington, June 4.-Through the forenoon. afternoon and evening ses- sions, the senate today labored on the cotton schedule. MT. LaFoIlette com pleted his long speech, attacking the changes in the Dingley rates recom- mended by the senate finance com mittee, and he replied to Senator Pen roses charge last night that he was shamming sickness as ar excuse for his absence from the night session. He said he was not i'll, but very tired and was resting to be in better shape to continue his speech today He de- clared that Mir. Penrose might perform a greater service for the country and his state if he would account for his own time when not in the senate.
 At the night session MT. Aldrich re- piled to MT. .LaFollettes assaults upon the work of the finance committee and made a general defense of the amend ments, which he asserted were neces- sary. Throughout the day the tenn perature in the senate chamber was sweltering It is said another effort will be made to obtain a vote on the cotton schedule tomorrow. MT. Ald- rich told the senators that he proposed to make a statement explaining the committees amendments and ito cor rect any misapprehension instilled in their minds by a torrent of misinfOr- nation and misrepresentation"
 MT. Aldrich reviewed the history of the cotton schedule, saying that in no tariff act have there been fixed rates so low as in the schedule pertaining to cotton cloth and ottonsmanufacturers generally. He said cloths valued at from to 20 cents now pay specific rates, and those have not been chang ed by the senate bill. Reviewing the various court decisions in reference to the schedule, Mir. Aldrich declared that the government paid cut as much as s5,00O,O0O as refunds of duties on ac- count, the differences resulting from the ambiguity of the Dingley law. He said a recent decision of the supreme court would require She government to make a refund of s500,O00.

STRIKE
 A THING OF THE PAST
POLITICIANS WERE DOVES OF
 PEACE
The Employees Reduced Their De-
 mands Which Were Acceded to.

Philadelphia, June 4.-The strike of the Rapid Transit company has been settled. The men will receive twenty two cents an hour beginning tomor- row morning and ten hours will con- stitute a days work.
 The statement tonight from c. O. Pratt, chairman of the executive committee of the Amalgamated As sociation of Street Railway Employees followed the deportation of 45O non- union workmen, and marked the end of the strike of the employees of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit company. The trouble began last Saturday.
 The settlement was brought about primarily by State Senator Jas. P. McNichol, republican leader of this city at a conference yesterday with the traction officials and labor rep resentatives. These conferences were followed by others today.
 After being in session nearly all day, the men agreed to accept twen- ty-two cents an hour. The old swing system" has been abolished; ten hours will constitute a days work 4; all employees will be permitted to pur- chase their uniforms in the open market; all future differ ences will be adjusted between the company, and a grievance committee chosen by the employees.
 If, after an investigation by the city controller of the books of the company it can be shown that more than twenty-two cents an hour can be paid without crippling the finances of the company, the men will insist upon a further advance in wages.
