62. A Handbook of
Novel Ideas for
Earning Money

The new Britannica contains informa-
ton about many side-line occupations
by which spare time at home can be
made profitable, and young people use
fully amused. Even il the money earned
in such ways is not needed for some
special use Cor instance. to pay for the
Britannica), it is a good thing for peo-
pie to employ spare time that is not
devoted to study and reading in some
kind OF work that trains their eyes to
appreciate beauty and their hands to
be dexterous. The German emperor,
although he has 100000 a year to
spend, had each of his seven children
thoroughly trained in some kind of
handiwork. The Britannica contains
practical illustrated articles on Carpen-
tering, Fine Joinery, Woodworking,
Bee-keeping. Embroidery, Metal-work.
Misunderstanding, Greenhouse Con-
struction and Management, the Breed
ing Of High-grade Dogs, Cats, Pigeons
and Rabbits, Painting on Silk and
Leather, and many other crafts by
which money can be made at home.

assistance to reasoning inquirers into
the unknown. Scientists have only Of late
begun to collect evidence upon many
questions Of vital importance which. in
the last century. were thought to be
altogether beyond the possible range of
human knowledge.
The Britannica states the evidence,
for and against all the guesses about
such matters, in its articles on hypno-
tism, on the treatment of nervous dis
orders by suggestion. on the unex-
planned conveyance of thought from one
person to another and on the theories
which attribute certain exceptional men
tai impressions and bodily conditions to
beneficent or diabolical interference with
what has been assumed to be the usual
course Of nature. No one can afford to
ignore the active work which is being
done in this field. And nowhere else
is SO impartial and clearly reasoned a
review of the whole subject to be found
as in the Britannica.

teal set will cost me from SO to $50

1t is an old saying that a man who is
his own lawyer has a fool for client;
but it is equally true that a man who
does not. learn enough about law to
know when he ought to go to a lawyer,
and enough to understand what this
lawyer tells him, is unfit to transact
the ordinary business of everyday life
with full efficiency. The articles on all
branches Of common law and statute
law enable any business man to take a
common-sense view of his legal rights
and wrongs. and they make it plain
that he must rely ON lawyers advice
as to the technical details of his case
and his chance Of getting justice.

REPEAL IS UNSUITABLE.
SAYS SENATOR BURTON
United States Not Entitled to
Exempt Its Ships Under
Treaty.

Senator Burton of Ohio republican. yes
terday defended the Panama canal tolls
repeal bill in the Senate. He declared that
under the Hay-Pauncefote treaty the
| nited States is not entitled to exempt
any of its merchant vessels from the pay
inent OF tolls; that the exemption is con-
traFy to the economic policy heretofore
adopted by the United States, and that it
was a mistake to fly in the face of the
opinion Of all other nations
There is a further argument equally
potent In favor OF repeal said Senator
Burton, and that is the traditional and
practically uniform policy of the United
states in advocatins-yes demanding
the free and equal use of navigable
chapnels and waterways. Our policy in
this respect is as near to being invaria-
BILE as upon any important national ques-
ton.
The United States from the very be-
ginning insisted upon certain funda-
mental principles. such as that all men
are created equal: that governments de
rive their just powers from the consent
of the governed The basis of the de-
mand for equality OF channels is found
in the essential ideas which actuated the
american revolution.
Traces Stand From Earliest History.
Senator Burton traced the stand of the
Hiteu states upon TINS question from its
earliest history. lie showed the de-
mands made upon King George Ill Of
England with regard to the right of the
American colonies TO have unrestricted
trade with all the world: the demand in
1tIS and subsequent years made by this
country upon Spain for the free use of
the Mississippi river: the treaty OF Paris
signed by Great Britain and this country
in 17srS; the war made by this country
against the Barbary states to enforce
free passage OF waters in the Mediter-
ranean.
Senator Burton followed this up with
Il detailed statement showing that the
possible interoceanic canal had
always. from the ca rliest discussions
Of this canal. been for a free and equal
use of the canal by all nations of the
world. He quoted from messages of
former presidents to show this. in
Guiding Grant and Cleveland. He spoke
at length in regard to the insistence of
the United States upon equal oppor-
tunity for American enterprises in
China, and finally he warned the Senate
Of the possible dangers of retaliation
by foreign nations. particularly Great
Britain and Canada. if the United
States continues to insist uoon eN-

of tolls through the Panama canal.
