STANDARD OF LIVING TOO HIGH.-Ihis
passion Of riches, and TINS overwork Of
body and mind, have a broader. deeper,
and far more significant meaning than
what appears upon cursory survey.
From this source springs some Of the most
powerful influences to undermine the con-

have set up a standard Of living too expen-

cal stamina or brain power to reach such
a standard and live by it few individuals
may do it, but the azHy cannot. Multi

families. Its handspring IS nlOney-nlon.

US Of the famous lines of the satirist

In London a thoroughly competent gas
Inspector Is appointed by the government,
who is entirely Independent of the gas COM
panies. 1t is his duty to report upon the
illuminating or candle" g" power of the
gas furnished and if it is below the pre-
scribed standard, the delinquent company
IS compelled to pay a heavy fne. The
inspector does his work fearlessiy, aud the
result IS apparent in the high Illuminating
power of the gas. Some of the London
companies take pride in keeping their gas
up to the maximum power required of
them. What we want is certain quantity
Of light, not a certain quantity of gas. In
a recent article upon this subject the Scj-
eltifc American very justly remarks
" light is the article we ought TO pay for,
and the only correct measure Is the pho
tometer, not the gas-meter." The more
diluted the gas Is, the more readily 1t Is
consumed, and the gas-meter may Indicate
a large consumption, while but little light
has been afforded. So long as gas is sold
by the cubic foot great opportunity Is
given for adulteration. Those who manu-
tacture gas always have competent chemists
in their employ, and they know how to
furnish abundant light with gas Under
certain circumstances, and when the wea-
ther is very cold. a richer gas Is made.

said the Baron, we find the most beauti-

fable-Cain, the Agricuturist Abel, the

and Abel is slain, for agriculture is devel-
opment. The children of Cain are the
representatives of industry, they build
cities and spread their skill over the world.
The children Of Cain are the developers of
civilization. L said to Dollinger, Do you
think it immaterial if Abel had slain Cain?
No If Abel had slain Cain human civil

Therefore, he said in conclusion, it IS wrong
to teach the young to speak Of Cain with
such contempt, since taking the Bible
history as it stands, we owe an our pro-
gression TO him alone. and nothing to the
dead Abel.
