Thia argument ii corn bated iu some quartern, and Senator Platt, of Con necticut, whoae eoaatituenta raiae con siderable tobacco, iaya be will offer an amendment in the senate to make tba duty at leant 50 par cent. The principal opposition to the bill, hewever, ia politi cal, baaed upon the principle that it ia unconstitutional; that Porto Rica toeing now a part of the United State in an titled to free trade witfl all other parte •f the United States. The quaalion ia an interesting one, and il ia really regretable that it could not be d’M- <«ed and decided without the drawing of political linen, bat that has already baan made impossible. The supporter, of the bill say that it is intended for mak ing a precedent for putting a duty on the products of the Philippines; that tree trade cannot be granted to our ialaad poasesaiona, without abandoning the protection system of the govern ment. It is already apparent that the question is going to figure eitenaively in thia year’s national campaign. Senator Nelson’s report in favor of the bill creating the department of com merce is an interesting and campact history of the growth of ths executive departments of the government, since the creation of the first one by the act of July 27, 1789.

Did you ever stop to consider, kind hearted, faithful, aflectionate, well-mean ing mother, that perhaps you are mak ing some very serious mistake, in the rearing of your children? Did you pause to think why you slapped little Kdith ths other day ? Didn’t a w ave of anger sweep over your heart when you mw her wilfully and wantonly disobey your orders? Did it occur to you that yeur own manner of issuing the com mand might have been antagonistic, and just as offensive to her as her act of dis obedience wan to you? Compare b'dith's shortcoming«, her little childish sins and failures, with your own. The contract will not be to your advantage, will it? Remember you are a woman, mature, perhaps edu cated and experienced, and she but a little untrained, unformed child. Wouldn't you have accomplished a vast deal more, saved your temper and Heli-respect and hicreased your daught ers filial reverence, if, instead ol slap ping her, you had gravely and quietly caused her to und»> the thing she had taken so much trouble to do? Or if you had deprived her of soms small pleasure which she had anticipated? Instinct ively, she felt that mamma was wrong, too, but she could uot explain or define ths wrong. Her heart ached with a •eiiNe of injury, and very rightly too. Dear mothers, can you realise that ths every day training of your children, tneir home influence, the manner in which they are corrected, the food that they eal, the books thev read and their associates and every thought, word and action are bricks laid in the foundations of (heir characters? When we issue a command to our children, let us be very careful that it is just and not puts threat after each command, A mother told her little girl that if she did that again «he would whip her. The child had noticed that she had never carried out her threats and no she looked up and Maid,"I am not afraid; you have «aid that lots of limes," Much threats as, "I’ll cut your ear off," "1’11 kill you", ‘‘i’ll put you in the river" ‘‘I’ll give you to the black-man", are very wrong I believe the best way is to be sure that our commands are not arbitrary; that they lx* given in a calm, serene manner instea<i of loud, howling commands, emptv ttirealN, whipping« and shakings, and tlieu if we are not obeyed, punish the child. Never threaten and not carry it out. I«et them know tiiat if they disol»ey they will alwavs receive a punishment. They will soon learn and it will be so much tietter (er them. They will have so much more respect for us. SOMETHING WORTH KNOWING. ím I i iiiyis niiflit “Porosity” Hull Prevails In the early daya of the pneumatic tire, porosity was the bane of both trade and ridera. Whenever anything got the mat ter witb a tire er an <nner tube that could not easily be remedied it waa pro nounced to be porous, and that Milled it, says the Bicycle Nswa. At tha men tion ef thia fearful word all hope waa given up, and if the maker could not be induced to step Jnta the breach and make a replacement under the guarantee, the dealer or the rider had to suffer. Even at the present time, when a won derful advancement in the manufacture of tires has I men recorded, poroaity has not entirely ceased to manifest itself. It ia caused, in the case of inner tubes, by minute air cells in the rubtier sheet from which the tubes are made. This trouble some air ia imprisened in the rubbar while it ia being sheeted through the calendar, or whilst the rubber ia being forced through the tube machine. It ia meat difficult to detect the defect of im prisoned air, therefore numerous defec tive tubes rapidly accumulate during tba testing process, that ia, when blown-up of under pressure ol air. Surely there is some way of making the walla of air tubes homogeneous, and of an improved constraction. An Eng lish rubl>er espert anil factory manager pro|>osee that all air tubee ba molded in molds with internal pressure. Thia method would coueolidate the rubber material in the wall of ilia lube, ami ex pel all hidden air from the rubber, at the same lime preeeing out all seams and joints. Ksilroadlng Patents.
