The sIekroom Ruabear.

The great bugbear of the sickroom
Is monotony This is the problem that
every nurse must meet and study
ways and means to prevent. She may
do this in several ways. She may
alter the appearance of the room oc.
casionally by pushing the bed or sod
to a different part Of the room in or
der to give the patient fresh out
look; the cut flowers may be replaced
by growing plant; old magazines and
books may be removed and new ones
take their place; the pictures may b.
changed. especially those that hang
the foot of the bed, or perhaps, q
blank wall may be found to be restful
to the tired eyes.-Circle Magazine

Post, ~ Y, June IS: The unseeing
eyes of Senator Gore pierce deep into
subtleties and plain lies of the tariff
boosters. Mr. Dolliver is doing yoe-
mans work in a good cause, but for
wit, for sledge hammar power, for
the gift to make the stand-patters feel
foolish and ashamed. the senator from
Iowa yields to his colleague from Okla
homa. Unequally the match has us
ually been, but in favor of Oklahoma.
It is generally understood that Presi-
dent Taft intends to make corporation

AN ANCIENT RACE DYING OUT.
Vsddahs Of ceylon Regarded as Rep
resentins the Stone Age.

The Oldest inhabitants OF Ceylon are
passing away. These are the famous
Veddahs.
Fifty years ago II was estimated
that 5000 Of them we're still living In
the forests, but Dr. Max Moszkowsh,
who has recently visited them, says
there are only SO or so OF them still
alive and that few more years VIII
see the end OF their race.
The Veddahs have interested an
.nropologists because rhey hare been
regarded as the best living types OF
the man OF the stone age.
The attitude OF the Cingalese toward
them is remarkable. They hold the
poor creatures in great honor and rank
them as belonging to the highest caste
In the island. The reason is that they
are reputed to have descended from
the ancient demons or spirits that
were the original possessors Of the
island.
These nomad, hunting people, never
leaving their forests, living under
trees and in caves, without knowl-
edge OF pottery or any other art ex-
cept that of making bows and arrows,
are perishing because OF their way OF
living and of their inability to stand
up when stronger folk are pressing
closer around them. They are exact
ly what they were centuries ago when
people OF India came. and conquered
their green island.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

- d
The concensus of opinion now is
that the senate will finish its consid-
Grafton of the pending tariff bill, June
20. after which it will be sent to the
conferees who will compromise and
trade the interests Of the consumers
TO suit their own convenience. Then
American citizens will realize the in
sincerity of republican campaign
pledges. Already the consumers of
the nation see the hand writing on
the wall: No revision of the tariff

Journal. Shreveport, La June ~;
The senate has frequently had a
a taste of Senator Cores wit during
the tariff debate. No one has punctured
more ruthlessly the shams and fallac-
les OF Senator Aldrich and the stand
patters. In a sharp give and take de-
bate no senator is his equal Modest,
studious, keenly alert and faithful to
his principles. he has never wayered

Senator Gore though afflicted most
sadly, has done splendid service for
his state since he went to congress.

Declares America the
Continent of Peace

slavery, he declared, represented the
true Ameican sap.
Next to immigration. the Ambassa-
dor named democracy, which he char
acterized as distinctly American. One
could not break the chain OF a
sentiment, he said, but the Amerl'
can democracy is genuinely now;
new design; the ancient did not pro-
duce it. nor would Europe have pro
duced it,"
Another great contribution, he said,
was the equality of social conditions
among all classes of the nation. This
he said, ais the explanation why it
has became the adaptive country, the
elected home of men of all races, born
and reared under the contrary prin-
ciples of inequality"
Ambassador Nabuco did not believe
that America was yet leading in the
increase of the intellectual power of
man. that is, science, but he did be-
lieve that it was already leading in
the improvement of mans social con-
dition, Il do not say alone, but with
few other nations, which look chief
ly to you" For the moment, he de-
clared, no one could say il the New
American Political Economy is or not
one of the great contributions of the
United States to civilization. THE
universities of America" he maintain
ed ARE watch-towers admirably pre-
pared to follow the progress of the
economical evolution and to solve in
time the riddle of the Sphinx" One
thing was sure, he said, with EN-
phasis,-the age of Franklin would
not end in history as the age of
Midas.
Coming to the question of American
education, Ambassador Nabuco declar-
ed that IL seemed to be the only one
that was not wholly conventional.
you alone" he said, give as the
greatest of all human teachings, self
reliance. And, new to mankind, you
teach self-reliance not only to men
but to women There never existed in
the world such a youth of both sexes
with the same training for life. You
plunge them, since the childhood, in
bath that gives to both the strength
and the elasticity of steel. You have
changed the rythm of life; you write
it in quick tempo and the world is
catching from you the spirit of rapid
transformation, and is writing 1t also
in the American prestissimo instead
of the old adagio.'
Among the other great contribu-
tions the ambassador mentioned Amer.
lean inventions.
AS for Latin America, the ambassa
dor said it was rather early to speak
of the part assigned it in history. we
have not yet been ordered to enter the
stage; the plays of God are very long
ones his acts are ages he said. uI
to now, however, Latin America had
done a considerable work of ciyiliza
ton against great difficulties and he
believed that nowhere could be select
ed finer types of man and woman than
among its different nations. I'VE hope
he said in conclusion, we do honor
to our native stocks that we show
compared to them traits of the same
evolution as you present compared to
the English race

Madison. Wis, June Elf were
asked Of what good America was to
Erlrope, I would say that Columbus
cnt large doors and windows on the
west side of the old European manor,
which received it's ventilation only
from the east. America has regener-
ated the old world since the XVlth
century as effectually as the influx
from Central Europe regenerated II
in the Middle Ages"
This was the declaration OF senor
Habuco, the Brazilian ambassador,
who today delivered the baccaaureate
address to the graduating class at
the university of Wisconsin. The am
bassador took for his subject The
Share of America in Civilization,
and gave prominence TO certain OF his
impressions regarding the contriDu-
tions of the United States to civiliza-
ton.
To his mind said the ambassador,
the United States was a nation in
some respects of unique type, the
only one approaching 1t being the Ro-
man Empire, when nearing dissolu-
ton. Every other nation" he said,
sis, or was, composed of race, or OF
separate races, speaking each its own
language; you are a nation formed
by the fusion of races Of different Ian
guages, brought, by superior induce
ments. to speak only the hereditary
language OF the country. In other
words. you are nation formed OF
nations by their own will. Here lies
all the difference; you are formed by
free immigration, not by conquest.
America was really the New Europe
Thanks to the Monroe doctrine, he
said America was the continent of
peace. and this colossal peace unit
interesting deeply the regions of the
earth-the whole Pacific, one could
gay-forms a neutral hemisphere and
balances the other hemisphere, which
we might call the Belligerent Homis
here" With the prodigious growth of
the United States, he said, its peace
sentiment would have to be tested
when its national aggrandizement
meets with the first serious obstacle.
"The question is,' he said, "if you
then would not proclaim the holy ma
tional way. AS yet no one could say
that peace is a permanent article OF
faith with you, such as are democracy
and religious toleration, for instance
The great fortune of mankind is that
the period OF your unopposed growth
permitting you to live in peaceand to
exercise your great moral and com
mercial pressure for peace, comedies
with the time when the progress OF
civilization and probably that of sci
ence also will succeed in substituting
international law for war, or IN de
taching war from international law
of which it makes yet the principal
part" He believed that nothing would
do more to fix on the mind of the peo
pie of the United States the purpose
Of peace than Pan-Americanism He
therefore drew the deduction that "as
what gives the greatest strength to
your power for peace is immigration
would classify immigration ras the
greatest of all contributions of Amer
lea to civilization" immigration, not
