; WASHINGTON, March 5.-After
two years of almost continuous ses-
sion the sixty-third congress, which
revised the tariff and currency sys-
tenn of the nation, supplemented the
; trust laws, created an income tax
and demonstrated the first popular
election of United States senators,
ended at noon Thursday.
When gavels fell in the house and
senate signalling adjournment they
marked the close of half of President
Wilson's administration, the first un-
der domination of the democratic
party since 1895. Strenuous scenes
enlivened the fading hours devoted
! chiefly to completing the appropria-
tions for subsistence of the govern
ment. The important measures, the
postofice and Indian supply bills,
failed in the final legislative crush
after desperate efforts had been made
to save them. In the emergency &C.
casioned by their failure joint reso-
lutions were passed and signed by the
President continuing in force apprO-
priations of the present year
While tired senators and represen-
tatives we're devoting their energies
to final essentials, President Wilson
spent more than an hour in his room
at the capitol, surrounded by the cab
met, signing the last fruits Of legfs-
lation. The President found time in
the midst of this task to greet sena-
tors and representative and he made
the occasion entirely one of congrat
Uration, making no reference to pro-
iects which failed.

Sacramento, Ca, Feb. 26--"Saye the
children! Save them by placing them
above all property interests, and enact
laws eliminating those Of too tender
years from the great maelstrom of In
dustry," suged Albert Ehrgett, Coca
tional-secretary of the Y. NJ C. A. Of
San Francisco, in an address in this
city. :
The speaker insisted tina child labor
laws should be amended so that chill
dren under fifteen years Of age will be
barred from labor. He read figures
which showed that one fifth Of all ba-
bies born in this country die before
they are a year old, and that one out
Of every six children must work for its
existence. -..y
Digging beneath the surface of
things he continued, I'VE find the
structure Of our society crumbling be.
cause our boys and girls must begin
shaving in factories, and sweat shops
before they have properly matured.
These children, whose years must be
passed with but fleeting glimpses of
1.-THE sun, are of course deprived OF the
rights which were the watchword in
the foundation of this government.
This is one reason why child labor
should be abolished.
r. tits not the army or the navy that
dengtes the strength of nation: nor
is Hsthe enterprise of commerce. The
chissdfen Of any country are that coun-
EtryIs foundation. And when you spoil
them and make weak, decrepit. unfit
men of them you spoil the govern
meht. What you sow in the child, YOU
reap in the nation.
Other reasons. why child labor
should be done away with are: 1t Gre
ates mental inferiority; causes the
young to grow old far ahead of their
time; promotes moral depravity by in
creasing crime and immortality, and is
a failure from an economic point of
view SO far as the laborer is con-
tcerned.- .,l.
"The young child, robbed of his
chance to attend school, is naturally
very poorly equipped with learning.
Children laboring in mills mature at
twelve years of age, become middle.
aged at fifteen, and at twenty-five
years Of age are in their dotage."

Cleaning Rabbit Eur

although reader of your Corner for
n number OF years, receiving much help. l
have never come to you before. Please
tell me how to clean a set OF child's white
rabbit furs. 1 see you don't advise home
dyelng. MRS. A.
First brush and beat the furs gently
but faithfully, to rid them of every grain
of dust. Next lay them upon board
covered with a clean white cloth and sat
urate them down to the skin with grain
alcohol Keep the hairs as open as possi-
bic, that you may get at the roots. With
a perfectly clean comb raise the nap of
the fur by comblng against It. This is
to expose every part of the skin to the
treatment. While the fur is still wet
with alcohol sift into It all the talcum
powder il will hold and lay 1t carefully
away in a box, covering to exclude the
dust. Leave It alone for two days. Then
take into the open air and beat and
brush out the powder first working
against the nap, then with It, to restore
smoothness. A dozen years ago I cleaned
a set of moufflon in this way, and was
encouraged by the signal success of the
process to venture the experiment of
cleaning n set of more expensive ermine.
The result was eminently gratifying The
little lady to whom the royal furs be-
longed wore them with pride for two
more winters, the cleaning having been
repeated the second year.
