A DOSE OF THEIR OWN MEDICINE I
Our friends who have profiled
greatly through the prohibitive tariff
on typewriters tire beginning Iii re?
ceive a dose of their own medicine
and Ihey do nut seem ill all Inclined
to appreciate it .
A wealthy manufacturing concern |
at Barcelona. Spain, realizing the
beneficent effect of a protective luriff
Iihh induced the Spanish government
to pined a duly or $15 each on all
typewriters imported Into that coun?
try, which will unable the manufac?
turing concern aforesaid to build
machines at a coal of *;:n and sell
them at $inn. as the Americans type?
writers at the present price of $15
will be eliminated by the tariff. By
that means I hey will be able to dupli?
cate the success and enormous profits
of the American manufacturers in
their dealings with the great. Ainert
can republic.!
Of course, the Americans who have
profited by the system now Inaugu?
rated in Spain are raising a howl
being devoid el that philosophy and
sense of humor which sees in the up
plication id' one's own prescription
a certain sort of poetic justice.
BLOW AT THE COAL TRUST.
The passage or the Klklns amend?
ment, designed to divorce the produc?
tion of coal ami other commodities
from the transportation companies, is
a step in ilie right direction. Under
the system now in vogue the coiii-pro
duciiig roads have been enabled lo
freeze out all competition nirl lb niaku
prices on fuel just about what I hey
pleased, wlthpui regard lo economic
principles involved .
The recent decision of the Supreme
Court, holding that a common carrier
could n"i give itself, on commodities
which it owned or in which it was
indirectly interested, a cheaper rale
than that gven to competing shippers.*
laid down the broad principle which
underlies the Elkins amendment, bul
it is just as well to have statutory
law bearing on the subject.. When
officers of the law and aggrieved
shippers have a "tliiis-siiith the law"
back of thehi they will etiler into Hie
work of prosecuting offenders with
more confidence. Such a condition
might also have it.. influence in pre?
venting violations of the principles
set forth in the act .
The engineer of a Pennsylvania
railroad passenger train has confessed
that he was responsible for a collision
in which i en persons were killed, lie
misunderstood bis orders. While
such carelessness, involving the safe?
ty of hundreds of human lives should
probably be considered criminal ii is
doubtful jf a jury can be found to con?
vict the mail even of Involuntary
manslaughter. No doubt he already
has suffered a punishment more terri?
ble than his fellow man could inflict
upon.
While some of the gent lernen who
participated in the eonlerence between
Joint committees of the council and
board of ald. i no n and representa?
tive i of the street railway system of
thf. city, tppined inclined to ask for
mor# concessions than wer? granted.
w$ bflieve that the amicable adjust
,;S- .111
riM'iit of differences v.i.ll prove satis
factory to a large majority of the peo?
ple of Newport News. The moil who
are at the head of the railway lines
have sufficient business actinica to
know that their interests are Identi?
fied with those of the city ami while
they have tin- perfectly natural hu?
man desire to show dividends as a re
suit of their labors, they have thus
far shown no unreasonable disposi?
tion to take advantage of a situation
which has placed llu-m virtually in
control of the Iraiisp.irtniion facilities
of the Peninsula. Under tin- new ar?
rangement il will he possible to great?
ly improve the car service of (he city
ami In cut nut entirely transit over
the dangerous Twenty-sixth street
bridge. Nothing could be gained by
a deadlock. The joint committee and
the railway representatives acted
wi: i-1 y in get i inn logo! her.
Counsel for Mr. Perkins, the go
between in the life insurance political
campaign contribution scheme, de?
clares that the action was devoid of
criminal intent ami that the whole in?
cident was simply an everday business
transaction. If participation in an iui
justifiable expenditure of trust funds
is a ?'business transact, m" in Wall
street, what soil of evidence would It
require to convict one of those "high
finance" artists id plain larceny'.'
The miners are lo be congratulated
upon accepting the wise advice of
I heir leaders In regard to the proposed
strike. Labor struggles Involving di?
rectly thousands or woi-.cincn and
their families ami imposing hardships
upon millions of innocent victims who
have no special interest in the points
at issue, should mil be entered lilio
hastily and should never he undertak?
en save as a last desperate resort to
right unendurable wrongs which can?
not be settled otherwise. It is to lie
hoped thai the time soon will come
when a mote sane ami business-like
method of dealing with such problems
will be found.
Those Southern Roproosntill Ivos
wini oppose the .Inuicslowii Kxpostiioii
appropriation hill through conscien?
tious motives may at least be worthy
of respect, but. those who oppose it
through such ignorance as has been
manifested by Represent;.!Ivo Kitchin
in his published interviews, are hard?
ly worthy of consideration. He does
not Hcein to have the faintest concep?
tion even of (be uv'dtij to lie ecle-.
brated. and such Ignorance of n mat?
ter which has been so widely mid so
intelligently exploited Is unpardonable
in the case of a man who is supposed
lo possess sufficient intelligence to
properly represent a district In the
balls of Congress. I
The C/lar's government has finally
lost what little Witte It really did
have.
GLASS OF THE ANCIENTS.
rbcfi iiiiH.-r. of Thpbn Were Expert!
Mnnr Centnrica Anco.
The glassldowers of ancient Theben
ore known to have been as proficient
In that particular art ns Is the moBt
ajcleutlflc craftsman of the same trade
of tin-, present day after a lapse of
forty centuries of so called "progress."
They are well acquainted with tho
art of staining glass anu are known to
have produced that commodity In
great profusion and perfection. Roa
selinl gives no Illustration of a piece of
stnlned glass known to be 4,000 years
old, both In tint nnd design. In thla
case the color Is struck through Um
vitrified structure, nnd he mentions de?
signs struck entirely in pieces from ?
half Inch to three quarters of an inch
thick, the color being perfectly Incor?
porated with the structure of the piece
and exactly the sittne on both the ob?
verse and reverse sides.
. The priests of Ptnb at Memphis wen?
adepts in the glnssinnker's art, nnd noi
only did they have factories for manu?
facturing the common crystal variety,
but they bud learned the vitrifying of
Hie different colors nnd the Imitation
of precious sinnes to perfection. Their
Imitations of the nmethyst and of tin
various other colored gems were bo
true to nature that even now, after
they have lain In tho desert sands from
2,(Ki() to 4.nn0 years. It takes an expert
to distinguish the genuine article from
the spurious. It has boon shown that,
besides being experts in glnssmnking
and gloss coloring, they used the dia?
mond in cutting and engraving glass.
In Hie British museum there is a beau?
tiful piece of stained gloss, with an
engraved emblazonment of the mon
nrcb Thotbme8 III., who lived 8,400
years ago.

A MOHAMMEDAN FUNERAL |
Orrmnnlr* With Which n Dodr ta
<'o n? l^m-d to Ihr Om?*.
When the life of n Mohammedan Is
ebbing away a distinguished reader of
the Koran Is summoned to recite nlotid
Its chapter on the resurrection, so that
the spirit of the person, on henrlng It1
may have an easy death. The Mo-'
hatnnicilnn believes that the vital prln-j
clples of the whole system are concen-j
trated In the head, when death Is the
result. The watchers tit the bedside
also read some passages, and then n1
drink of sherbet Is given to ttie pa?
tient to lessen tlie panj:s of death. As
noon as the spark of life bus fled, the
two groat toes are tied together with
a thin strip of cloth, the mouth is
closed, and Incense la burned near tbe
body.
Tbe Interment follows n few hours
after death. The "wnshors" are men
nutl women who wash mid shroud the
body lind tilg a bole In the earth tn
hold the water, so that It cannot spread
very much, ns It Is considered unlucky
to trend on this water. The washing Is
a great ceremony, and when finished
the body is rtrouded with even move
ceremony. If there Is n widow of the
deceased, she returns the dowry lief
husband had given her. If the deceits
ed'R mother Is present, she says, "The
?til Ik with wliich I suckled thee I freely
bestow upon thee." Thus she resigns
the (lebt of the deceased to her. When
flowers have been placed on the hod)
It Is carried to the grave on a tiler or.
If tho relatives can afford It. in a cot
flu. At the grnvo four creeds are re?
cited, and the body, with tbe bead tc
the north rind'the fnco looking townri
i Mecca, is laid on Its hack In Its tomb.
Tho grnvo is nbout seven feet long for
both sexes,-but the depth for a man Is
measured by the distance between his
feet nnd chest; for a woninn. between
her feet nnd waist. If the body Is too
long for the grave. It is believed that
tho deceased must bnve been a great
sinner'.
Before the body Is covered the M.t
knntmedan tnkes n little ?nrth nnd,
throwing It Into the grave, snys, "We
crented you of earth, nnd we return
you to the earth, nnd we shnll rnise
yon out of tho earth on tbe dny of rcsur
rectlon." Then n mntiiul Is built to
keep tho earth In the prove from crush
Ing the Iwdy. nnd wnter Is sprinkled
on It In throb lines. Speelnl prnyers foi
the snfe voyage of tho deceased are of?
fered after the burial. As In the cn??
of n Hindoo funernl, the poor nro nrti
forgotten, both remembering the needy
by distributing money, snlt, rice and
I wheat among them nftcr the funeral.
Thc? PrnRnt CloeU.
Since the middle of tho fifteenth cen?
tury the city of Prnfjue hns possessed
a remnrknblo clock, tho machinery of
which Is most complicated. Tbe dial,
which Is between six nnd eight feet
ncross. has n number of bnnds, which
mnrk not jnly the mlnntoi nnd tho
hours, hut also ?be days, months, yenr*
nnd centuries. Of this clock a poet
tells us:
At the left of the dial a skeleton stands.
And aloft hangs a musical bell In the
tower.
Which he rings by a rope that he holds in
his hnnd9
Tn his punctual function of striking ths
hour.
But tho funniest sight of the numerous:
sights
Which the clock has to show to the
people below
,1s the holy apostlci, In tunics and tights.
Who revolve In a ring or proceed tn a
row.

THROAT EXERCISES.
CtIIm That Come From .M In tine of the
Varal Drein?,
Tho chronic sore throat la not Infre-1
qucutly produced by the intense of tho
vocal organs. Very often thi.t unruly
little ineniber, the to'ngno, is accounta?
ble for the difficulty, ns It Is for a great
many other troubles In this transitory
life. 'Many people have a habit when
talking of pushing the tongue so far
back against the delicate membrane*
that line the throat that Irritation mor*.'
or less painful is caused, nnd It It con- 1
flnues any length of time ulcers will
form, and so will a doctor's bill. |
t'outrol of the tongue Is excellent In
all senses of the word. Physical!) this
organ may bo innnuged by depressing
It Into a hollow at n point three-quar?
ters of an inch buck of.where the tip
of It conies when In n natural position
In the mouth and nt the same time
singing very light beail tones. This
exercise requires some patience at
first, but the habit of keeping tbu
tongue down Is soon acquired. In
speaking or singing It should not be ab I
lowed to hoop up nnd till the mouth,
til us interfering with the free passage
of the tones of the voice from the
ihront to the front of the mouth, where
they should strike and then escape
clear as a bell. This hooping up of the
tongue In the month Is the cnuse of
much of the Indistinct nnd slovenly I
utterances to which we nre ?jo often
obliged to listen.
In many people we notice the lino
from the point of the chin to the neck '
Is In the form of n right angle. In a
shapely thront this line forms n curve,
Just ns a canary's (Iocs when the small
yellow artist Is warbling his carols.
To develop the throat and make this
nngle n curve stand before a mirror so
that you mny watch the throat swell
out. Now thrust your tongue out as
far on It will go, then draw It imck
quickly und forcibly, nt the same time
bringing It downward In the mouth as
far as yon can. Place your thumb nnd
forefinger against the larynx (common?
ly called tho Adam's apple), and If you
nre making the right movement you '
will feel (he larynx pass downward. I
For a week, or two make the move- '
merits lightly. After that time put ns
much force Into It ns yon cnn. The
exercise should lie practiced for a few
minutes several times a day to Insure
rapid and good results.
To till up the hollows of the neck
stand correctly and then slowly till the
lungs with air without elevating your
shoulders. As the air Is forced upward
Into the throat hold It there a few sec?
onds ami then expel slowly. This ex?
ercise Is best performed soon after ris?
ing In the morning and before retiring
at night.?New York Post.
Time and Eternity.
Tho strenm of time never runS dry,
and the ocean of eternity will forever
Bond Its mighty surges mountain high
against the brink of time's little
stream, sweeping with ench receding
billow over Its expansive bosom the
frnll human craft from the shore of
time, with earth's happiness, human
affection, toll, trials, tears and sin, to
the eternal shore of celestinl bcRiity
and bliss. Oh, mighty ocean of eterni?
ty, your wonderful anthem of life nnd
death brings eternal woo nnd condem?
nation to him who is untrue to himself
nnd his divine pilot, but to the trust?
ing, faithful man It sings of endless
felicity in the presence of time who
has redeemed his people from the
bnndnge of sin and bus swept them
through the pearly gates.?Ducktown
(Teun.) Gazette.
The Wonilerfnl Diatom.
One of the most wonderful things In
vegetable life is n beautiful nnd mi?
nute class of seaweeds called diatoms.
Tliey belong to the seaweed family,
yet they may be found by the thou?
sands In aiiy roadside ditch, fresh or
unit water lake or even In cisterns,
wells, springs, etc. Most species of
plants are made up of an Infinite num?
ber of little cells, but with the diatom
It Is otherwise. Ench representative
of this wonderful family of plants Is
formed of bet a single cell and this so
minute that It would require 2,500 of
the most common form, laid end to
ind, to make n string nn Inch In length.
Koine species of dlntoms have the pow
?r of Independent motion, nnd on that
account were for some tlmo believed
to be nulmals.
. Cnnilr and the Kins;.
The following Is accredited to the
Into Senator Hoar: At n Fourth of July
celebration In n Canadian town where
both English and American guests
were assembled the Hags W Hie two
countries were used In decorations. A
frivolous'young English girl, loyal to
the queen, but with no love for the
stars and stripes, exclaimed: "Ob.
what a silly looking thing tho Ameri?
can flag Is! It suggests nothing but
cbeckerberry enndy." "Yes." replied
Senator Hoar, "the kind of candy that
has made everybody sick who ever
tried to lick it."
