THE DEAD SEA. Rallrovl It-eto Lo-jlOotlon. Testifying before the Senate Com mittee at Washington, Interstate Com merce Commissioner Pronty said in discussing the proposition to give that commission the power to regulate rail way rates: “I think the railways should make their own rates. I think they should be allowed to develop their own busi ness. I have never advocated any law, and I am not now In favor of any law, which would pnt the rate making power into the hands of any commis sion or any court. While it may be necessary to do that some time, while that is done in some States at the present time, while It is done In some countries, I am opposed to it. The railway rate is property. It is all the property that the railway has got. The rest of its property is not good for anything unless it can charge a rate. Now it has always seemed to me that when a rate was fixed, if that rate was an unreasonable rate, it deprives the railroad company of its property pro tanto. It is not necessary that you should confiscate the property of a railroad; it is not necessary that you should say that it shall not earn three per cent, or four per cent. When you put In a rate that is inherently un reasonable, you have deprived that company of its rights, of its property, and the Circuit Court of the United States has jurisdiction under the four teenth amendment to restrain that. I have looked at these cases a great many times, and I can only come to the conclusion that a railroad company is entitled to charge n fair and reasonable rate, and If any order of a commission, If any statute of a State Legislature, takes away that rate, the fourteenth amendment protects the railway com pany.” S.M Cadets at West Point and Annapolis are to be taught jiu-jitsu.

So man}' false and foolish reports about the Dead Sea—that strange and interesting lake—have been circulated lately that the truth will, no doubt, be acceptable to the many readers of the Daily Graphic. Since the earth quake in Palestine last April, some one circulated the story that the mouth of the River Jordan had been so affected by the shock that the level of the river had been altered to such an extent that at the place where the historic river gos intft the Dead Sea there was now a waterfall of considerable depth and strength. Tills Is altogether false, and no change whatever has taken place at or near the mouth of the Jordan. The writer has just spent some days there, and made it his special busi ness to investigate this matter. Much has also appeared from time to time in papers and periodicals about steam boats navigating the Dead Sea. This, too, Is a fabrication. The only boat cn the Dead Sea is a small sailing boat about twenty feet long. . . . This vessel makes trips, as the wind allows, from the north end of the sea to the bay on the eastern side of the tongue that divides the water near the middle. Here at this terminus some Jews are located. The whole conoern is, in fact, in the hands of Jews, who, at a low rate, buy wheat and barley from the Arabs, to be de livered on the seashore. From there it is shipped to the Jericho side, and carried on donkeys to Jerusalem, where it finds a ready sale at a good price. When adverse winds blow, the tittle craft is in danger of being swamped, for the so-called Dead Sea becomes a living mass of waves. The writer fiecently spent four nights such as never will be forgotten on these waters, and the smartness of the old man at the helm and his boy with the sails saved us from being wrecked again and again. A charge of one mejedie (three shillings and fourpence) a trip Is made for each passenger, and for such a unique voy age it Is not exorbitant. There is some talk about a small steam tug being put on the sea, but the authori ties are loth to grant permission. It will be a great boon when. If ever, ii does arrive, as it wifi bring the easl and west sides of Jordan nearer tc one another for communication and trading purposes. — Correspondency London Graphic. HIS VIEWPOINT.

CONSUMPTION Great care should be taken at the critical period when the young girl is just merging into womanhood that the diet shall contain all that is upbuilding, and nothing harmful. At that age the structure is being formed and if formed of a healthy, sturdy character, health and happiness will follow; on the other hand un healthy cells may be built in and a sick condition slowly supervene which, if no; checked, may ripen inio a chronic disease and cause life-long suffering. A young lady says: "Coffee began to have such an effect on my stomach a few years ago. that l was compelled to quit using it. It brought on headaches, pains in my muscles, and nervousness. "I tried to use tea in its stead, but found its effects oven worse than those I sufl'erod from coffee. Then for a long time I drank milk alone at my meals, but it never helped me physically, and at last it palled on me. A friend came to the rescue with the suggestion that I try Postum Coffee. "I did so. only to find at first, that I didn't fancy it. But I had heard of so many persons wiio had been benefited by its use that I persevered, and when I had it brewed right found it grateful in flavor and soothing and strengthen ing to my stomach.

The hour that follows will be more delightful than the hour of your wedding. Let me tell you of a little instance in my own life;” and the mother told her of one of those lit tle family differences that come up be tween so many worthy couples. The story ended so pleasantly that it soothed the tempest in the breast of the heartsick daughter. After the story was done, Mattie •still kneeled, resting her tired head on her mother's knee. Her mother stroked the glossy hair in silence for a quarter of an hour; but Mattie’s thoughts were busy. Suddenly fie arose, took her child in her arms, wrapped it close in her shawl, and prepared to go. "Where are you going, my chifil?” asked her mother. “To make my confession,” answered Mattie, through her tears. "Heaven bless you!” said her mother, with deep emotion. When Marsh Hunter came home that night a pretty scene met his view. The fire was burning joyously on the hearth, and before it stool Mattie, dressed in a neat calico wrapper with snowy collar and cuffs, and a scarlet bow of ribbon at her throat. Baby sat on his pallet before the fire, crow ing iusti'y and beating the floor with a tin rattle. Supper was on the table, and the tea was steaming on the hearth. Marsh was cold, but such a scene warmed him. He went straight to the pallet and commenced a romp with baby. Mattie went and knelt there, too, determined to make her confes sion: but she did not know how to commence. It wa.s easy to think of beforehand, but when the time came she was lost. There was an awkward pause; then both spoke at once. “Mattie, I’ve been ” “Marsh, I’m sorry ” Their eyes met, and each saw the tenderness in those of the other, and all was told in an instant. Both had made their confession. Marsh opened his arms, and Mattie fell sobbing on his breast, while baby looked on in amazement. "Mother told the truth,” she said; "It would be better tnan the wedding,” whispered Mattie. "Have you seen her? Did she tell you the same she told me?” cried Marsh. * "I don't believe I want any supper tonight, do you?” said Marsh, after they had their talk, and the supper had become cold. "I guess I’ll drink a little tea,” said Marsh, and he did.—New York Weekly. Smoking Tello 1 " Character. THE PRINTED BOOK. was her worst fault. When she married Marsh Hunter, people opened their eyes in wonder, and said: "She'll make his life a warm busi ness for him.” But Mattie thought differently. “I’ll show them what a triumph love will work. I'll teach them not the vixen I seem,” and so she married him. The wedding was a very pleasant af fair—something to look back to as long as they lived. Mattie looked very sweet in her white Swiss muslin and apple blossoms. Her jetty curls trembled and shone in the brilliant lamplight; her eyes sparkled like twin stars, and her soft cheeks were man tled in softer blushes as she leaned trustingly on the strong arm of the stalwart man who was to be her guard and guide through life. The honeymoon was rich with the pleasures of new-married life to the humble pair; but the time soon came when the bride must leave the o!d rooftree for the untried realities of a home of her own. That was the first sorrow—the trial of leaving home and mother—but it was fleeting, for in the excitement of "setting up” housekeep ing in the white cottage on Squire Blackburn's farm, the little sorrow was drowned. It was very funny, and Marsh laughed, when just they two sat down to the little new table and ate from the new dishes on the new cloth the wholesome viands prepared by Mattie’s own hands and cooked on the new stove. Everything was new and strangely sweet. Everything went on nicely, and Mat- tie was triumphant. But all things earthly must change. Happiness does not come unalloyed. The weather grew warm and the kitchen hot, and one of the hottest days of the season Mattie had a distressing headache, and the supper must be ready at five o’clock. Mattie tried to get it ready, but burnt her wrist to a blister on the stove; then she burnt the bread in the oven. Then she looked at the clock, and saw it had stopped, and looking out at the door she saw Marsh wash ing his warm face and hands in the water trough. "Is supper ready?” he asked, and she blurted out something, ajid they had their first quarrel! Oh, dear me! the first quarrel! How sorry it made the sick little woman. But Marsh looked sullen, a.U'1 wont Off tiio r^.1 • out kissing her. They never talked that quarrel over simply because each was too proud to broach the subject. After that quar rels came often and easier. They did not mean to quarrel, but somehow an gry words would come up. After a while a little boy came to their household, and it seemed a month or two a good deal like the well-remembered honeymoon; but Mat tie’s wretched temper would fly to pieces again, and the happiness was spoiled. “It’s curious we can’t get along with out so much quarrelling,” said Marsh, one winter day, after he had just put on a heavy "back log.” Mattie felt the tears in her eyes in a moment, and her heart softened to ward Marsh, and she was about to con fess her failings and ask his forgive ness, when he continued: “It is all your hateful temper, Mat- tie; you know it is.” “Oh. dear me! It is my wretched temper—I know it is,” sobbed Mattie, after Marsh went out; “but he needn’t have said so.” “If I wasn’t so blunt,” said Marsh to himself, with a sigh, as he sauntered toward the stable. So things went from bad to worse. Little mistakes were magnified into terrible wrongs. The neighbors had their fill of gossip about the matter; and finally, one day, when Marsh was away, Mattie thought the thing over. “I am a wretched little nuisance,” she said, mentally; "I "don't know why I am so, either; but I can't help it!” she said, despairingly, her lips quiver ing, and her eyes filling with tears. “I’ve a great mind to take Neddie and go home, and stay there. My unhappi ness couldn't be greater than it is.” She elapsed the baby close to her arms and the big tears fell fast on his curly head. Her heart seemed burst ing within her. but she wrapped the child in her shawl, and with quicken ing step she fled the place and hurried across the snow-covered fields to her mother's. “What's the matter, child?” asked her mother, as Mattie, pale and shiver ing, appeared at the door. “Don't a»sk me, mother,” sobbed the wretched little woman. "You haven't left home?” "Yes. mother, forever!” “Don’t say that to me! You shall go right bark this instant!” said her mother, thinking of the scandal that was sure to follow such a proceeding. “Oh, don't, mother!'' and Mattie looked the picture of despair. "Tell me about it. my child!” said the mother, melted into tenderness by that look. Then Mattie, through her tears, told her mother all, and ended with these pitiful words: "But, oh. mother, I love him. the father of my child—! love him, but he doesn’t understand me. If he could but understand me; 1 and she fell sob bing beside her mother’s knee. "Let me advise you, my child,” said the mother, softly stroking her daugh ter's glossy hair.

Orcutt, of the University Press, in Wesleyan hall, before the members of the Society of Designers i and Engravers. The lecturer first pointed out the antiquity of the “mova ble type” and its having been known to the Romans, Chinese and Coreans, but never applied in a large way or with a knowledge of its possibilities until by Gutenburg about 1439. Soon after this came the period of the “Humanities” in literature and the making of elegant manuscript books. On the splendid work of the scribes in the manuscript books of this period was based the type races which have lipccme the standard for all timtf-ilLi the Occident. ~~**^^^* The lecturer described the various vicissitudes of erratic forms in types through which the title page went, and told of the contributions made to the cause of printing by such men as Aldus Manutius and his sons; Jensen, Chris topher Plautin, the Dutch printer, who carried the title page to elaborate per fection, and William Morris, who might be said to have restored the art of printing to its early glory. Some of the defects of the Morris style were pointed out, especially his aversion to putting leads between the lines of type, which resulted in a mas sive page without any relief in color value to the lines. Still Morris ef fected a revolution and placed book printing on a higher plane that it had been for centuries. Mr. Orcutt called attention to the American faces that had been the re sult of the Morris movement in Eng land—the De Vinne, Renner, the Mon taigne by Bruge, Rogers and the Mer- rymount face, by Gcodhue. These var ious type faces and the early manu scripts from which Aldus and Jensen made their types were shown by means of lantern slides, as were a number of title pages by the various printers, and finally the new type face designed for the University Press bas ed on some of the best of the manu script volumes of the “Humanities per iod” in Italy.—Boston Transcript.

Home Industries for Boer Women. Ths Manchester Guardian describ ed- an attempt which Is being mads in the Orange River Colony to teach certain home Industries to members of BoAr households Impoverished by the war. The scheme is directed by Miss Hobhouse and supported by a committee in England. The first ex periment has been made In the small town of Phiilppolis. where there are now fourteen girls learning the whole process ot weaving wool into gar ments. carpets, &c., in the first place for home tree, but afterward, it is hoped, for sale. As the writer points out, home in dustries have a better chance of sue cess in a country like the Orange River Colony, toat is almost destitute of manufacture*, than in an Industrial country. The girls astonish their teachers by the quickness with which they learn all the processes by which wool is converted from the raw ma terial into the finished article. It is proposed also to teach lacemaking, for which there is said to be a good market, and to establish all the In dustries that may be taught on a co operative basis with co-operative credit for the purpose of buying ma chinery, tools, &c. The girls have taken to the scheme with much eagerness. Some of them come to Phiilppolis from outlying farms a good distance away, and the work, whatever commercial success it may have, is a welcome relief to them from the enforced idleness whlc£ is often one of the most irksome results of sudden poverty. The scheme at present is supported by only a hun dred subscribers. We hope this num ber will soon be enlarged.

Self-conceit deceives no one but yourself. Returned wanderers may make the best guides. Adversity tries faith; prosperity tries fidelity. Our service does not depend upon our smartness. Righteousness is praised by all, but honored by few. Character ipay be lost, but it can never be stolen. To neglect the moral is to under mine the mental. As the deed is. so was the thought which inspired it. A little forethought usually saves much afterthought. A man may be measured by his esti mate of other men. The idle rich are paupers, as truly as are the idle poor. The higher you climb the easier you fall, aud the harder. The man who suspects everybody is surely a suspicious character. Running in old ruts may be more risky than blazing new trails. If the mind is open to the sunlight, there is no room for the darkness. The man who sows nothing always reaps something a good deal worse. Individual honesty is the only last ing foundation for national prosper ity.
