Members of ,the canners' executive say that the statement made to newspapers, that the committee are favorable to a suggestion made by Government Labor.

This is kept up for an hour or two. until the men are reeking with perspiration and tbe white designs on their brown skins are sadly marred. Meanwhile logs have been heaped on the fire until it lights up the inclosure like day.

If one judged from the mothers' congresses and the 'lectures, articles and books on the subject of the rearing and training of children, it would seem that in no other era have women been so intent upon fulfilling properly ' the duties of parenthood. It might be taken also as a tacit confession, that the mother instinct is not inborn in every woman and therefore that which does not come from the heart must'be learned from books. There is no intention here to disparage such a movement. In some" quarters it has been, overdone and has become accordingly ridiculous, but it has its uses and has doubtless been productive ' of good in awakening certain women, to.a moi-e thoughtful1 view of their responsibilities. , . The mere fact of bringing young into the world does not bestow the mother instinct. Many a childless wife,' many a lonely spinster, has the true mother heart that may be lacking in the mother of ten children. ' Dumb animals even .vary greatly in this respect. There are dogs and cats just as averse to the duties of maternity as any frivolous fine lady. One hen will rear successfully rall the chicks', she has brought1 off the nest, while another in the same flock will lose her whole'' brood successively,! by carelessness and'' neglect 'One topknoted denizen of ther poultry yard,.afforded a curious study to the observant ,itShe was completely wanting in that protective instinct toward' her young' which ,is usually t so" strongly developed in'the* hen.

Did the Baby Reason? The kindergartners say it is a growing opinion that it is near the age of 8 that the child begins to see the end to be gained in contradistinction to something to be done, says James Champlin Fernald in The Atlantic. The assumption is not true of real children. The present writer knew, for instance, a little cherub of two years' terrestrial experience who found the cat in his hicrh chair after he had left Tapioca. This elegant and delicate starch )n the produl't of a plant that is cultivated very extensively in the Malay peninsula, where its culture is almost entirely in the hands of the Chinese. The tubers of the plant (Manihot util- isima), which weigh on an average from 10 to 25 pounds, are first scraped and then carefully washed, after which they are reduced to a pulp by being passed between rollers. This pulp is , carefully washed and shaken up with abundance of water until the felcula separates and passes through a very fine sieve into a tub placed beneath. The flour so obtained is repeatedly washed and then placed on mats and. bleached by exposure to the sun and air. It Is finally converted into the pearl tapioca of commerce by being' placed in a crude shaped frame covered with canvas. It is slightly moistened and subjected to a rotary motion, by which means it is granulated. It is next dried in the sun and finally over the fire in an iron pan greased with vegetable tallow and is then ready for the market. Before and' After.

The-mother's sympathy-gives her wisdom to deal with diveVse%teinpera- ments and dispositions,v and-if 'there .is anything in these alien to her own-nature her love bridges the difference���������that love which follows her offspring no' matter how far they may go, so that ,her heart, as Mine, deSevigne expressed it, is "always on the highroads." If a child of hers is crippled in mind or body, homely of countenance, dull of wit or broken ,in fortune, around that one is her affection protectingly cast, because he needs it the most. Her heart is the unfailing refuge, the sanctuary that cannot be violated, the one place of all where even the erring and the defeated will not be, judged,' but loved. And though all r"the rest"_of "her children may be happy, honoi-ed'and"successful, l.er .love is forever wandering- away after the unfortunate who. has fail-' ed and fallen short of'her teachings���������out into the cold, through the. rain and snow, over the dreary stretches of' the highway, like a beseeching angel pleading with him to turn homeward. But. whether she is a happy or unhappy, parent, her love is not, like the passionate ;egbtism-of the animal, limited only to her own. "For their sake, her heart is tender toward all childhood, and her pity embraces the little oneslwho are orphaned hnd. uncherished. * * * In one of Coleridge's poems he tells a strange story about a woman -who set her affections upon her daughter's suitor and finally invoked a curse-upon them both because they' had balked her passion. Thenceforth nothing/prospered with them. They were beset by misfortunes of all kinds, the curse being so active because A mother is a mother still. The holiest thing alive. - The more modern view, however, la that there is nothing holy in maternity per se. It is the individual who ennobles or degrades it, and the woman who shows herself unworthy of motherhood is not to be an object of honor simply because she has brought forth children. There are women, and mothers, who actually dislike children, and, apart from these unpleasant paradoxes, some there are who love their children accordingly as the latter faiinister to their pride and vanity. The jeleverest and handsomest are the favorites, because they; reflect glory upon the self seeking parent, and the less creditable ones are pushed into corners and kept in the shade as much, as possible. .This is Jrather a man's than a woman's way of loving, and yet there are families in (which the tenderness comes all from, -the paternal side, and the children are actually "mothered" by. the . father. Then there are the mothers who in the pursu-. ance of. some fixed idea thwart their children, stunt their aspirations and prevent the gradual unfolding of their natures. "Etre savant, e'est quelquechose," says a French writer; "etre tres bon, e'est encore mieux"���������and one fancies that this is true where mothers are concerned. Does any child think more tenderly of his mother because she has written a remarkable book, painted a fine picture or excelled in music? Many a woman'has made such efforts in art, spurred on by the thought of her children, and in be coming an artist she does not cease to be a mother. Yet, after all, these are not the things we recall' when .we look back at childhood. What we do remember is how our mother mended the garmenti^we tore, healed our bruises, wiped away oux < tears, was glad of our little pleasures, sang us to sleep at evening and soothed '' us Avhen we woke in the night crying with the terror of bad dreams. Perhaps the, woman who did'all this for us was gifted and brilliant, but ,it is her goodness, the inexhaustible tenderness of her mother love, that lives in memory and fcnakes us homesick, even in old age, for that unfailing solace which' elsewhere we hare not found.���������New Orleans Times-^ Democrat.

Forrester, of this city, a resident of - the Fortune Block, had-recently made a marvellous ''recovery to' health after years of suffering, during which time' he h'ad endured tortures and had several times .been given up by medical men a's .being beyond hope, a Free Press "representative called" upon him to obtain particulars of the case which had battled medical skill, r ' '"The trouble from which 1 was suffering," said Mr. Forrester, '|was the result of a gunshot wound which' I received during the American civil "war. The bullet entered my leg. This caused an aneurism to form in J, the groin, and also' caused 'a swelling for the last;eightltyears, and'about two' years ago I 'had a "severe attack' of grip, and'also had a heart >trouble known, as mitraljregurgitation', caused through an imperfect valve, the result-of a,vstrairi received in .wrestling.-;I had" a severe'cough after the' attack : .of grip,'- and "the, -strain.' of that seemed to break' up the compen- tion 'and -caused' dilatation '.of the hearty-which'is considered, incurable..

Then'" my leg fbroke out? and- I sat .with my, foot in a (Washbasin for five months^with the fluid 'dripping out, ^and it'"ran so. rapidly that my" wife had to,'empty-,the basin twice a day., The' dropsical condition'^ was alleviated, and then'ulceration ^set in% and. my <^ leg "was swollen Cand "ulcerated''' from'' thev toes ��� 'toi'the knees andf'the calf .of, my leg measured 27 inches round. * ',One ,ulcer was fiilly^ an inch.deep, ^ifobody expected "me to * g-et - better. " Nothing �� seemed to' benefit "the leg, but after'a time/it started" to heal a little, and I went out to work, but soon came back. In 1899, two local physicians -> gave me one month'to-live. Subsequently Dr. Devine told me I^harl not' three" weeks on earth, and again later. on he said one evening - that 'I would not see daylight. I realized myself that I was pretty low at the time. I could not lie down for over a year, nor sit in an arm chair, but sat and slept in a straight-backed chair, with my headr resting 'on the table. I also went to the hospital, but came back home shortlyi after, but was always afraid to lie in bed. About two months, ago a friend t of mine called in and was telling. me about Oxydonor,' and told me of a case which it had benefited. A few- days later he' brought one over, and from the ��time ,1 put.it on the leg commenced to look as if it were healing. It is now healing very rapidly," and is greatly improved. My general condition and appetite is good, and all this has taken place since I commenced .putting on the 'Oxydonor. I suffered fearful tortures with my leg. The irritation was intense, nnd 'one night I felt like cutting it off, and would have done so had I '.hought I could have lasted until I could have had the^ stump dressed, as the pain would have' been less than' Lhat I was then suffering. I consider it incredible that a man could .suffer as I have done and live through it, but I have a wonderful vitality and power of resistance. I consider that my recovery was a miracle and was the direct work of God in answer to prayer, but think that the Oxydonor was the instrument of His grace."

Already dusky figures could be seen Parting from tree to tree, and T-Jast- i ~'*blngs, knowing the value of ('me, lost unoi a second in chschai gino, his gun. Tlie report of the Winchester .secm- ��������� ed to arouse the echoes oi Hades��������� ���������from c\ cry quarter .there arose the ���������most fiendish of yells, Ai\d oi<o who 'had never heard these brittio cries of the" savacre MakaJakas before might well be pardoned for belie\ing that a /-legion of black fiends from Tophet, ��������� led by Mephistopheles himself, had 1 burst the barriers of the Tnterno, and -sought new victims on earth. There was ho tune for exercising yaiiy* deliberation in the line of judgement���������to strike speedily and often, ���������with the most fatal result was their tone hope, and even thai held out but feint chances of success. Hastings was crouching there, almost flat on his face, behind the heterogeneous bundles -which the sa- ���������-vant had so carefully and solicitously piled up. They promised, at least, ���������to form some sort of a barrier for the wretched fugitives, though the ���������.professor when making his collection had never dreamed to what base use they -might eventually be put. The rapid detonation of the Winchester told that it was in the hands ���������of one who knew how (o utilize its wonderful repeating qualities to the utmost, and the fiendish shouts of the black warriors no longer expressed only rage, but pain and consternation as well. In tlie midst of the fusilade came a 'much heavier discharge, very similar to the boom of the Dutch settlor's yager or elephant gun. . ' '. 'strange to say, the .professor had. ��������� insisted.upon arming himself: with one - of these heavy though- effective weapons, which appeared.; the'-more' ridiculous when the rather undersixe'd stature of the fighting Caul' was tak- .. en into consideration. This mammoth gun had always -been an object of extreme solicitude ���������to Jules. So long as they had porters, a .stalwart' black had usually trotted at his heels bearing the yager.; but of late it had become quite a burden to Hastings,who more than once contemplated the. feasibility of quietly allowing it- to sink Into some "drift" they were crossing. Only on a few occasions had. the learned savant, deigned to discharge his gun; and it was always an open question in the mind of Hastings whether almost equally disastrous results in the rear were not apt to follow such an explosion as before its ���������muzzle. Therefore, ������..ien -the thunderous ��������� crash of the elephant gun sounded so Ciosu to his ears, he experienced something like a .sensation of awe, and half expected to find the form of the gallant Frenchman hurled across', his back. i "What luck?" he bellowed, so that his words might be heard above the awful clamor.-- "It is well," came in the high- pitched voice of, tlie professor, who had evidently taken the precaution to brace himself ere pulling the trigger. , So ' Hastings, again applied'himself tof the task of distributing the remainder of his leaden' pills^ with a discrimination that was .niluenced ,by' the audacity of the assailants; and cince little of his ammunition went to waste, it can be set down as positive that his wonderful nerve served him as faithfully in this crisis as it had in times gone by. Brief though , the* time that' had elapsed since the advent of the first black warrior on the scene, those of the enemy-"who fortunately escaped the fire of the compatriots had rushed in close enough to discharge their own weapons toward tla spot where a cloud of powder smoke told pi occupancy. ,' Some were armed with guns of modern make, for long contact with the gold and diamond hunters had made the Malabele and their sable ���������-Hies familiar with such engines of destruction, and while possibly the owners might have 'no just claim to the title of sharpshooters, still ' they were able to keep pumping at their; engines of war, v and., send a swarm of bullets toward the 'center of the disr turbance, , that' hurtled and hissed' about the ears of the besieged; with tiie noisy venom, of ang"ry( bees.^ Numerous war spears' also" '.came singing through space, nor' was the singular whirr of the,deadly Zulu as- segia unheard. ,, k Hastings had been wounded in several-places, but, lione. of them were serious cuts, and in the.fever of battle he hardly, took notice of the fact. Hearing a thud close at "his elbow he turned his head to see a Makalaka, spear pinning poor Jules to the tree; but his feeling of, horror , -was dissipated upon ��������� discovering that the squirming professor had really not been seriously injured, since ,the weapon had only passed.' through " the slack of his, garments., ' . Finding himself unable to break away, the plucky little savant continued to,rattle out the contents- of his revolver,.jlnd his shrill voice could be heard high above the roar of ��������� the melee, as he" bade the savage 'foe such defiance as only a son of France could express. <* ~ . . , . ; All this really occurred in a minute of time. -" , > " ' Seconds .,are laden with "grave re-' suits '/when the blare, of battle is in the 'air. \ ���������. , < ,q The cloud of smoke which served to conceal them "from the sharp eyes; pi To' them it was the most dreaded ^oiind upon earth... They ,had on 'numerous occasions engaged with the si uru\ sons of England'wfto farced u.jo border land. Desperate battles n.id been fought in the days erone by, .-.nd these black warriors from bitter experience had come, to' respect the prowess of the police'-' employed by the British South Africa-Company, as woll as to fear Cecil Rhodes, the wizard r_v. hose hand controlled the" destinies of this promising land. /Confusion immediately seized -unon tl o assailants. Their glow of ] o.si- 'iivcr<victory gj,\re way to sudden despair. ' - ��������� Hany turned and ran, hardly knowing in, which direction "the" danger THE CHINESE DENTIST. the surrounding blacks, ^equalized matters at. the saine time by rendering it impossible for' them to seje{ where to direct their shots. \ f'J So, while their weapons still held va few more ccharges, -the two fugitives ceased firing, v , i I-Iastings snatched at the spear upon Which his smaller ally 'was' in. one sense impaled; but.it required his utmost strength to tear it' loose from the" tree, so that Jules could once more be master of his own actions. Perhaps Rex had some vague idea that .they might creep oft, thanks to the fnemdly smoke that hugged the vicinity, and the gathering shades of dusk. ��������� Be that as it may, he was given no time to put the inspiration into practical play. Perhaps "the undaunted Gaul would have utterly refused to have -deserted the scientific treasures of his collection, to which he was so lirmly wedded. , \ Before Rex could begin to shape a plan for the future there came a fre6h burst of awful yells, and through the smoke sprang the figures of the Makalaka warriors, brandishing their arms and looking in the full panoply of their war dress like demons. Thus, in an instant, the battle had become a .hand to hand affair, where fierce blows were exchanged. where the dischaiye of a firearm was muffled by the-fact of its being pressed against a human form, where two whites, back to back, were pitted against a horde of cruel and merciless foes, eager to drink their blood. The sword of Damocles hung suspended by a single thread. So the lives of these twain seemed on the \ery brink���������the passage of one minute would mark their transition from this world into the next. But that minute proved Ion? A few remained as if in the hope of accomplishing the death of the two fugitives ere themselves seeking safety in flight. i <��������� Flying figures could now be ������seen through the(rifts of powder, smoke��������� figures mounted on horses, and dashing hither and yon with a ranidity that could only.iuive been-equaled by Bedouins of .the desert. . - From these galloping figures there came flash after flash, and the rapid percussion of reports proclaimed a condition rof affairs that could not be other than unhealthy, for the unfortunate blacks who had lingered iri3the vicinity of the 'scene too long. By thisr time Hastings had(succeeded in downing the lastlfoeman 't who remained too- obstinate'for fliyht. As in a dream he watched the dim ,panorama of scurrying ' horsemen, and heard, the shots and shouts , that proclaimed ,the rescue. .���������-" It was almost incredible, thisf'-being snatched from death .a.t theyvery.tlast" moment. 1 Mo leaned upon'his. rifle'.',.the barrel of which was'hot'from repeated discharges,, and panted for breath;-while the; excitable1'little" professor,' /overwhelmed ,withijoy,\capered>'about" like a' boy,,r'alternately shrieking "Vive la France" and"then 'in'what was intended to bo a deeper ^-vpice,,"'hurrah for old .England." , [ " " , Gradually the .tumult' died' away, detonating shots no longer burst upon.rthe startled ear, and even the terrified shouts of the scattered blacks melted in the distance.

American industry is playing havoc with all time-honored institutions.'' At one time the dentists formed an ,important guild in China, but in the past 30 years hundreds of bright young Mongolians have picked up more or less knowledge of the profession from American practitioners abroad and are now doing business according to modern scientific methods. In San Francisco the new school has almost driven the old one to the wall.. Nevertheless ,three or four of the latter pursue the calling in the same manner as their ancestors did,for a thousand years. At least one of them visits New York every year and stays two or three months until all of his customers have bad their teeth put "in order.'!- * -\ His work is curiously primitive. , For extracting he ^relies upon .his fingers,. and with these he does marvels. With .thumb and forefinger he will pull a, bicuspid or a molar on which-an American operator employs a powerful forceps. - This dexterity is the result of years of practice'.'' From boyhood to manhood he is-trained to pull pegs, driven into a wooden board. Three and four times arday, a half hour at a time, he drives pegs Into the holes of .his1 practice board v'andfthen pulls them, out again. He lifts in similar'fashion teeth to which'are attached heavy"1 weights. This, special training changes' the as-r pect of the hand. The spare flesh vanishes,, and the' blood vessels,^ and tendons seem to double in size. The forearm grows in girth "and becomes as hard as wood.' The apprenticeship, period lasts two years. At the end the student has a finger grip which is a wonder. Its strength is equivalent to a> lifting power of 300 and even 400 pounds. Besides extracting he cleans teeth with a preparation containing ground cuttlefish, using .brushes made of split bamboo." For toothache he employs opium, peppermint oil, cinnamon oil and clove oil. .Sometlhies, though rarely,"he fills' teeth/ but'does It so Ig- abrantly that the filling' comes,- out within a few'months. . - * r. - * Through all' his" practice runs,1 a laughable element of superstition. Ac-, cording, to his;system, all toothache and other dental woes are produced' by ���������tooth worms; " The nerve pulp is such a worm;and. Is shown to a* patient rwheneyer ^he decay is great ^enough to^ permit of .its exhibition'.' ������"." To; satisfy' others'.he "carries ,about in a. pocket some white grubs about as large as an ant. When he extracts a painful tootti, he uses a little legerdemain and shows the sufferer one of' the";white grubs as the cause.of all his, pain.' For neuralgic toothache he employs counter Irritation and sedatives, rubbing the gums, cheeks and neck just below the condyle with a mixture of laudanum and peppermint oil and pinching the ���������kin until the blood is almost forced through the pores. He is not highly regarded by his countrymen, his social position being half way between those of a barber and a laborer. In New York be gets 25 cents for removing a tooth and for other services nayments in proportion. When the audience, \ through ignorance of the custom' or other;-cause^. fails to send the expected' shower,ror silver, the singer lends encouragement' in a, way that shows cleverness through' long practice.

The young Ru- ;. pert;'^romantically, .enough,, fell in love with.; hej\ -and. fpr .many days' followed; her With the company of strolling players, from one place'tb another."'-'He' urgQd.her. on in; the pursuit-of "'fame and, showing ardent love of, he*-beauty, respect for her' virtue and every sympathy with her aspirations, very soon gained her undivided affection. Ultimately lie had brought her to London, to this very house, promising to use what influence he had in her behalf; :������������������������������������ - ' ��������� . .';.'��������� ,- ' ' But suddenly those 'ambitious schemes of hers were shattered^ again. Sickness struck her down. For months she had lain' in this room, weak and spiritless. Only Rupert's daily visits had kept her enamored of life. To ever act again seemed an impossibility! But now, through a' few chance words, all the old restless eagerness took hold of her afresh.^- The path of fame stood disclosed1 anew, and she longed to tread it rwith an all consuming desire. Suddenly, amid 'her reverie a gust of. ���������wind" slammed the'open lattice against the wall. She turned, startled, and with a hysterical cry fell prone upon the bed. A minute later footsteps wore heard upon* the ^tairs. The room door was opened and the goodwife who tended her entered. A tall figure peered in at her heels and whispered, '"May I come in ?" Then, seeing, "Heavens!" he exclaimed. "What's, this?",and lushing to the bedside' took the senseless woman in his arms. . <"Susan, Susan, speak to me, dearest! "Tis I, Rupert. Speak, speak!" ;- He chafed her hands',and bathed her forehead from a bottle snatched from an adjacent table. Her,eyelids slowly 'unclosed, aud she i smiled wanly. . . ��������� "What is the matter, dear heart? You ���������tax your strength too much in rioiug. 'Why"- ',..���������" "Oh, Rupert! I am but a'little weak. I am recovered now. I know' I am. A few more quiet days and I shall "move in the world again. This connucmoiit is kilb'ng(me. I must breathe the fiesh air. see the faces,of the crowd and���������and hear the clamor of the audience again." ��������� "Nay, nay, Susan, you are too weak, and you know there is no need to play again so long as you grant mo tlie honor of accepting my help., Become my wife, dearest, and we will go away into the, country and see if the meadows and the ��������� woods will give you strength." "I leave not London," she answered, "till I tread old Drury's,boards/' I would play,'Rupert. Oh, grant'me this! ' Get me leave to act Ophelia,there, and I will marry'you on the morrow'of that day- aye, whether it be that-London deiidea or' takes me to its arms. " D6^ this, Ru pert, dear!', Dvo this, I pray!"'

"'-',"' ��������� " . - The'old publican who, liad, spoken "to such great, though unknowing, purpose- beneath Susan's window became in his particular circle a man of recognized^ wisdom. His previous assertions concerning "the little provincial hussy" were ��������� looked" upon as inspired, and every foolish thing he now uttered was' barkened to with open mouthed attention and wonderment. ; , - * . ' .Susan, though still troubled with occa- sidlial fits of faintness, studied her part vWith astonishing application. Oiten she .awoke in the middle of* tbe_night and, "a"i'6s6"and rehearsed her scenes, until carried away beyond , remembrance of surroundings she forgot'to subdue her voice any longer and spoke the lines with all the feeling they really demanded. But as the night of her debut drew nearer she became quieter and appeared less high strung. Only to Rupert, duiing the long hours they had together, would she keep saying, with deep and soulful enthusiasm: "I shall be a great success, Rupert. I know it! I feel it!'* . At last the eventful night arrived, and .Drury Lane was packed in every available corner. The beaus had taken an hour longer over their toilets, the denizens of the pit sported libbons in their hats and the whole atmosphere bespoke anxious expectancy. The only regret was that the part of Ophelia had been chosen for the debut, and not a character of more prominence and passion. The earlier parts of "Hamlet" were hardly listened to. and ever and anon cries of "Hasten." "Ophelia, Ophelia." issued from the ciowd. But from the first entrance of Ophelia every one was mute, enrapt. On the instant the house felt that a new genius had indeed found admittance to old Dairy's stage. Her grace and charm won every heart, her mellifluous diction sounded like'mush! and her expressive, beautiful face impressed one and all with grave and pure admiration. Rupert sat in a box. his heart full (o overflowing, with a keen joy that had never before been his. gazing intently at; .the woman- he loved so ardently. He had waited patiently all the long, long months since he had;known her without decrease of love. And now at last he was within sight of supreme happiness! On the morrow she was to be his wife. .. .<������������������'��������� As the mad scene drew near, the audience, exhibited a still more lively interest in the debutante, and when at last she came on the stage as the demented Ophelia the whole house burst forth' into ap-'1' plause.; .. ...'.

Gradually she seemed to become more distraught, until in one last terrible'cli max she gave vent'to a frenzied shriek and fell upon the stage. The audience 'sat bieathless, a pallor on every cheek, and none dared applaud. Rupert had left the box and gone to, her 'tiring room before the conclusion of the scene. A feeling of uneasiness which he could not throw _ off disturbed him. He had never known such acting. Yet was that not cause for joy? A noise was heard at the door of the room as he smilingly reassured himself. He jumped up and flung it open.
