A Result of Popular Thought.

What is capital and what is labor,
The query sounds like thrice-told tale.
men have heard it so often; yet it is a
question pithy with importance at all
times, and must continue so while civil
zation exists. 1t is the shuttle to indus
try's loom, ever in motion when in dustrv
moves; vital and operative; potent in
shaping the results which come from in
dustry. This question must be settled
by men; it is an outgrowth of mems busi-
ness relations; it is for each generation to
settle to suit itself. In times past might
subdued right, and the question of capi
tai and labor was decided bv capital
alone. In our day might and right are
about of equal strength; while the power
of the one has dwarfed in coming down
through the ages, the others has grown;
and now each comes before the bar of
human justice as respondent, and no
longer the one acts as the master and
prosecutor of the other.
This question is Vsry much considered
nowadays; all classes of men are thinkirr
over the relative rewards of the two mo-
tors of industry. And what is the result?
A better understanding, a more Just dis
elimination. Heretofore the emplove
looked upon the employer as an enemy;
now he considers him as a fellow-worker
whose interests under the laws are largely
identical with his own. And so they are.
the man who has hundred thousand
dollars in business is no more capitalist
than he that invests hundred, and the
man they employ is as much a capitalist
as either. The workingman's capital is
his labor and skill, and these he invests
in his employers business the moment he
enters his employ. Both are partners;
and if justice prevail there need be no
enmity, and both will be proportionately
interested in the joint product of their
money and labor. But it is here that the
hitch comes; each is anxious for the most
he can get, and he who has the upper
hand, forgetful of justice, often takes
more than his share. The weaker party
becomes dissatisfied, and then sets il a
period of mutual distrust and ill-feeling,
If justice prevailed, we repeat, this state
of things could not exist, and in its stead
would reign harmony and content.

Russian Communal Villages,

Amongst the families composing Rus
sian village, a state of isolation is impos-
sible. The heads of the household must
often meet together and consult in the
village assembly, and their daily occupa-
tons must be influenced by the communal
DEGREES. They cannot begin to NOW the
hay or plow the fallow field until the vii
'lage assembly has passed resolution on
the subject. If a peasant becomes
drunkard or takes some equally efficient
means to become insOlvent, every family
in the village has right to complain, not
merely in the interests of public morality,
but from selfish motives, because all the
families are collectively responsible for
his taxes. For the same reason no peas
ant can permanently leave the village
without the consent of the commune, and
this consent will not be granted until the
applicant gives satisfactory security for
the fulfilment of all his actual and future
liabilities. If peasant wishes to 90
away for a short time, in order to work
elsewhere, he must obtain written per-
mission, which serves him as passport
during his absence; and he may be re-
called at any moment by a communal de-
cree. In reality he is rarely recalled SC
long as he sends home regularly the full
amount of his taxes-including the dues
which he has to pay for the temporary
passport-but sometimes the commune
uses the power of recall for the purpose
of extorting money from the absent men,

'W hat are YOU going to do about it,"

Because the penalties of physiological
laws are not executed speedily, some
fancy they are void. But when the sys-
tenn breaks down, and almost hopeless
complications arise, which the family
physician, by reason of his limited exper-
ience, fails to relieve, tho pertineney of
the above inquiry is apparent. Many
remedies have been specially prepared
for these cases, and many physicians are
bidding for their patronage. As before
making a purchase Of land, a ''search" is
required, and the title carefully exam
med, 50 invalids should carefully inves
tigate the claims of any physician offer

physicians have failed, yet to accommo-
date surgical and complicated cases, and
those desirOus of being restored speedily,
DIR. Fierce has erected an elegant SAINT
arium, at cost of nearly half n million
dollars. No institution in the world
offers advantages superior to those found
IN this establishment. Half score of
physicians are in attendance, several of
whom have been prominently connected
with leading American and European
Hospitals. Every improved faculty for
fastening cure that a liberal expenditure
of money could secure can here be found.

MIR. Gladstone on Art.LabOr.

At the Hawarden Flower-Show, Mr..
Gladstone, in the course of his remarks,
said:
I would advise that the people of this
country should give more attention than
they do to raising hand labor of all kinds
TO the excellence of which it is suscepti-
bic. They are too fond of getting out OF
hand-lahOr and gettiug into what they
call head d-labor,-that is to saw getting
sufficiently acquainted with reading and
writing, and casting up accounts, perhaps
to get into the lower class of clerks. I
believe there is not more distressed class
in the country than that class, and be-
lieve that great number of young peo-
pie would do infinitely better for them
selves and for society if they were con-
tent to keep much more than they do to
the use of their hands, and would try to
raise the. character of the labor which
they perform with their hands, because,
pray remember this, that great deal of
the very highest labor is labor performed
with the hands. Look at the labor of the
painter, of the sculptor, and, not only so,
but look at great many intermediate
kinds of labor.-hard labor which is
strictly dependent on an excellent hand.
Now, there is a great deficiency of that
kind of labor in this country. Go into
the study of a sculptor in London and
you will find that the sculptor, probably
an Englishman, is obliged to have great
many assistants, because working at the
marble requires very much to be done
before the stage of finishing comes, and
these assistants are well paid; but if you
come to talk to them you will find that in
the large majority of cases they are not
Englishmen at all, but Italians and
Frenchmen,-yery commonly Italians.
What l want you to do is this,-not to be
in such a hurry to get into so low class
Of head labor as copying clerks or some
thing of that kind People should recol-
lect that handicraft itself is capable of
being raised TO very igh description G;
art and of yielding very high standard
of remuneration. | cannot tell you how
anxious l am to impress that upon the
mind of young people, and how certain
feel that the lesson is one of great i'm
portanoe TO the people of this country.
Let them perform their work in the spirit
of an artist; let them try to give it excel
lence snd make it thing, that not only
will sell, but as good as they can make it,
as useful, as we'll proportioned, as pleas
ing to tie eye, as full of beauty as they
can make i and the more they try to do
- fNH they will be able to do it,"

swelling like sinuous bars, when the old
gentleman in the corner woke and came
to my assistance. heard low whirr of
some weapon in its descent, and my first
assailant reeled from me stunned. Then
the old gentleman, with strength and
rapldity wonderful to see in person of
his age, seized the scoundrel, lifted him
away and dashed him down on seat.
There was brief struggle, and then
heard a sharp click-scoundrel the sec

Our Wives.

A young woman during the first week
OF her married life, entertains vague sus.
piciOns that the statements of other wives,
that the way to a mans heart is through
his mouth, are true, says the Philadelphia
Bulletin. Her Charles, who is almost, if
not quite, exempt from human failings,
| has already manifested profound admi-
ration for veal pies, and has openly ex-
pressed his detestation to overdone NUT
ton. She accordingly builds up within
| her fortress of resolutions, in which to
guard that sacred treasure of husbands
affection. In her girlhood this young wo-
man had spent much time in cultivating
her musical taste, IN reading Emerson and
Carlyle; she had been fond of pretty land
scapes and could use her pencil with eff
feet, and she had been heard to declare
with pride that when she married she
would give up none Of these things.
Let us visit her now at the end of ten
years of matrimony, and we will find that
she has broken her vow and thrown it to
the winds. We find a tiresome sort of
person whose whole intellect is absorbed
in attending to the cares of housekeeping,
and in getting stylish dresses for her
children. Her conversation rises seldom
above the level of infant gossip and ser
wants, and the only ideas developed by
time and experience are expressed in her
conviction that men are the most unrea-
sonable and selfish of creatures and wo-
incu tire most abused snd sAIf-sacrifi~inp
There is a great evil somewhere, but
what is it2 The husband acknowledges
to himself that he is disappointed in the
wife lie has chosen, and yet he finds diff
Guilty in pointing out his mistake, and
hardly finds cause to blame her, for is she
not faithful wife, a devoted mother, and
a most frugal manager! The mistake is
national characteristic. So passionate and
intense is the American mind in pursuit
Of its temporary interests, the men will
suffer the chains of business to bind them
down and throttle them, while their wives
bend beneath similar yoke of duty at
home.
What is lacking is the power to rise
above the petty annoyances of daily life;
we need to learn to distinguish trifies from
affairs of moment, to know that every
mola hill is not mountain. We need
not torsake the upper strata OF sentiment,
thought and ideaity-the atmosphere of
the S1ul-DeCduSe we huOW THAT tutle Is d
lower enc of routine and small vexations
in which our feet are told to tread. To
breathe in the one is to receive strength
and refreshment for exertion in the other.
1t is very good plan to pick up needles
and pins from the floor, but picking pins
ought not to be made the chief object of
existence, for if we move along with our
heads constantly downward we most as
,uredly will see nothing better than pins
and needles to the end Of our days.

A Bows Parable.

Once there was a mule. He had pair
of timber legs with heels at the end of
them. Mule thought his master did not
give him enough corn to eat. So, one
day, as the boss was passing behind HIM,
he lifted up his heels and boosted him to
the other side of the barn. This is what
Mr.. mule called strike. He thought he
could get all the corn he wanted now.
Presently he wanted water. He didn't
get it, though. He wanted more corn.
He didn't get that. He went to bed that
night without his supper. Next day he
didn't have to work; he didn't have to
eat, either. He didn't have any company.
All he had to do was to stand still and
think. He couldn't think why that mas
ter of his didn't come and feed him. The
next day was the same, and the next.
Before that mule got anything to eat
again he had grown so gaunt and gentle
that he was willing to keep his heels ON
the ground. The strike was ended.

Popular Education In England.

Lord q. Hamilton, in moving the Edu-
cation vote for England and Wales, stated
Its amount at So, 14S,000, which, taking
into account the Supplementary Estimate,
Is an increase of el7S,000 on last year.
The increase was due, he said, almost en-
trely to the larger amount of grants
earned-viz., G1GS,304, representing an
increased attendance in day-schools of
100000 children, and in night-schools of
10000, although the addition was caused
not merely by increased attendance. but
also by increased efficiency. In the last
school year the accommodation had in
creased by 227, 900 places, making total
accommodation of 3,626,000 and the num-
Der of schools inspected rose from 1923
TO 15,1S7. Of these, 10,472 were con-
nected with the Church of England, 1874
were Protestant Dissenters, 657 Roman
Catholics, and 2,0S2 Board schools. He
mentioned next the satisfactory progress
visible in the supply of teachers, and,
dealing with the agency by which the i'm
proved attendances had been affected. he
pointed out that out Of an entire popula-
ton in England and Wales of 22.713, ,26G,
about 100000 are under School Board
jurisdiction and 100000 under School
Attendance Committees, and about II
0O0,O0O altogether are under bylaws of 1
one authority or the other ONLY two
School Boards had been dissolved under
the act of 1915, and, passing to the, oges,
the voluntary subscriptions last year
amounted to e7S6,000, the rate to e447.-
600, and the school pence to e1, ,13S, 900.
The Vice-President next went into mi
mute comparison of the cost of maintain
ing children in board schools and volun-
tary schools, bringing out the general re-
suit that system of education by which
the voluntary schools would be extin-
guished would impose an additional bur-
den on the rates of between six and seven
millions sterling, and concluded with
some remarkable statistics ILLUSTRATING the
great increase in every item of the vote
since 1870 So great an advance, he con-
tended, was never before made in the
education of any country, and by pursu-
ing the present policy of utilizing and
combining the various agencies the sys-
tenn in few years might be made equal
to the ever-increasing demands of the
nation

The Telephone.
BY BENJAMIN r. TAYLOR

The world stood still for thousand years,
And crept a thousand more.
This wonderful world with wings for cars,
Like the Messenger god of yore-
And winged feet and winged wand.
And q wing of oud on its either hand,
And more than Mercury wore.
1t brides and rides furnaces foal,
With iron and hammer for sire
Great clouds of white from their nostrils roll,
And it feeds its horses fire,
They are bIooded stock the engines swift,
Beneath their heels the distances drift
Like SHOWS from the Arctic Pole.
They rattle across the meridian lines,
And down the parallels play;
They marry together the palms and pines.

The sun ia his golden rest.

This John and his black eyed boon.
His head and hers to the wire incline,
And she sings him Bonny Doom,
