TIE law which makes the unlawful
sale of that undesirable, though possi-
blv harmless, substitute for butter,
known as oleomargarine, punishable
by fine and Imprisonment ought to be
generally and vigorously enforced. Ii
appears that the sales of the genuine
product of the dairy have fallen of 5O
per cent. on account of the dishonest
competition of this counterfeit. The
law requires that every package OF
oleomargarine shall be plainly marked
as such. This requirement appears to
be complied with only by wholesale
dealers, while the city retailers gener-
ally disregard it.

APPARENTLY it is as true now as 1t
was in Paul's time that the Office OF
bishop is one to be desired. Aside
from all its other advantages, it seems
to be eminently conducive to longev-
itv. The venerable Presiding Bishop
of the Protestant Episcopal Church in
this country, now in his seth year, has
been making calculation on the sub
ject. He reports that the youngest of
his predecessors in office lived to see
IS wears, and that the average age at
death, if be himself were to die to-
morrow, would be 81 years. One OF
his predecessors reached 80 and
another sc years.

THE population of the globe" says
a late English paper, may be roughly
estimated at ,421, 900, 900; Europe,
800. .OOO, 600; Asia, s24 100000; AT
rica.. 1919 900, 900; Oceanica, 1000, 900;
America, S5,000,000. 1t has been cal
culated from the mortality tables OF
known countries that the annual num-
Der of deaths throughout the world Is
5.e93, $50, or that, in other words,
97,790 die each day. On the other
hand the balance of population is more
than kept up by births at the rate of
IO4.SOO per day. Seventy new lives
are ushered in every minute of the
twentv-four hours.

THE Pennsylvania Returning Board
is young and has good deal to learn,
but it is child Of promise. The board
was in session about an hour and a
half and managed to spend eight hum
dred of the thousand dollars appropri-
ated to meet its expenses. Of this
amount seventy-ive dollars apiece was
given to the Western members for
expenses, fifty dollars apiece to the
Eastern members, and the four able
clerks received twenty-five dollars a
head for their arduous services. With
extreme liberality on tie part of the
majority, the Democrats were allowed
one of those twenty-five dollar clerk
ships.

THERE was once man who stole
his enemy's body and had a pair of
shoes made of his skin, so that he
could say he "trod him under foot, " and
we have heard of drum-head made of
tanned man-skin but of all things for
which parts of the human form divine
have been used we think that being
made into soap is the worst yet it has
been found that a soap factory in At
lanta, Georgia, has been utilizing the
tenants of cemetery for that purpose.
One would think that a man was a
horse or an ass that he should be used
SO. AS a Southern paper says, "the
friends and relatives of the deceased
are inclined to make a row about it. :"
So we should think.
