THE CAUSES OK PAUPERISHd.
How to avoid becoming pauper is ques
ton which vexes great many minds, and.
unfortunately, great many are unable to
deal successfully with it. Sickness, disasters
make men panpers who have supposed that
they were reasonably secure against such an
unpleasant fate, and who do not. SO far as
can be seen, deserve it. Most of the peuper-
ism is, however, undoubtedly brought about
by misconduct, and could be avoided if men
and women wers wise and strong.
An interesting inquiry concerning the
causes of pauperism has been made in Man
chester. England, by Mr.. McDougall, who
has investigated the matter in the warehouses;
of the city. His investigations were confined
to 254 cases. which did not include epileptics
or Iunatics. Divided into classes, he found
that the first class-embracing pauperism
caused by old age or infrmisy
nearly one-e eighth of the paupers of the city.
The second class, embracing those diseased or
disabled by accident (not caused by miscon-
duct). included about one-seventh of the
paupers. The third class, composed of those
WHO were uhhDt0 10 11eA SOGAB d1tAOuS1
ing to work, was about one-fortieth of the
whole. The fourth class, embracing those
who were idle and thriftless,
apart from drunken or immoral hab-
its. did not contain single case.
The fifth class, those made paupers
by drunkenness in men, embraced one
fourth of all the poor. The sixth class, in
6,,
ness in women, contained one-twentieth of
the whole. The seventh class was the
widows and children of drunkards, which
numbered one-fifth of the paupers. The
eighth class, being the widows and children
Of sober husbands, had one sixth OF the pau
r-rs. The ninth class, widows of sober hus-
bands who have drunken sons, number one
psr cent. of the paupers, and of the tenth
class. widows reduced to pauperism through
immoral (not drunken) practices of husbands,
the number is not given. Briefly these facts
show that drunkenness is responsible for
fifty one and one fourth per cent. of the
pRuperism in Manchester, while forty-eight
and three-fourths per cent. is due to all other
causes
The results of Mr.. McDougall's inquiry are
impressive. Probably similar inquiry made
in any city in this country would result in a
similar way. It might be well worth the
cost if such an inquiry could be made, say
in New York. OF course it is pretty well
known that drunkenness is responsible for
great deal of poverty. but the discovery of
ths exact amount chargeable to it would tend
to stimulate effort sg ainst it.

The Pixies Peak railroad, the completion
of which wishin eighteen months is practical

It will mount 1000 fest further hsavsnward
than the famous Lima and Orovn railroad, in
Peru, which is now in operation TO peint
IL, 220 feet above the sea, the highest that
the rails have as yet attained. The obstacles
that are beiug overcome in its constructions
are among the most formidable yet presented

Of its length will be succession Of compli-
Gated curves and. grades, with no piece of
straight track longer than 5000 feet The
maximum grade win be 316 fest to the mile
and the average grade 27O feet The line
will abound in curves from 500 to 1000 feet
long, in which the radius changes every
chain. Forty degree curves are numerous
and there will be one of forty-three degrees
that will describe three quarters of q circle.
The road is being built in most substantial
manner, and will be laid with forty-pound
steel. The running time win be about fifteen
miles an hour. The road will cost from
$12, 900 to $15, 900 mile.

Attention is being called, and very proper
ly, too, to the extent to which the land of
this country has been gobbled up by foreign
landlords. Congressman Nutting of New

other foreigners, which is startling in its
revelations. One tract in Texas consists of
4,5o0, 900 acres, and another of 8, ,OG0, ,OG0, one

It is stated, apparently upon good au-
thority, that among the more important
questions acted upon by the late Cath
Ole Plenary Council ut Baltimore, and
formulated in DEGREES, it is definitely
determined that while there will be no
general change in the status OF the
Church in this country there will be q
partial adoption of regulations prevail
ing in countries under canonical law in
regard tothe removal of parish priests.
One-tenth of the pastors in each diocese
will be irremovable except for cause,
whi,h the Bishop must satisfy at &C.
clesiastical court is sufficient to Justify
theremoval of pastor. A court will be
constituted to each diocese of six of the
most suitable clergymen. known as con-
suffers, whose tenure will also not be
subject to the pleasure Of the Bishop.
Another important decree changes the
mode of selecting three names of clergy
men from whom the Pope appoints q
Bishop when there is q vacancy IN q
diocese. These names are now selected
by the Bishops of the province. This
will be changed by the decree, and the
consulters and irremovable rectors will
select the three candidates from whom
the Bishop will be taken. A uniform
Patechism will also be adopted. ..

Saving on a Large Scale.
From the Philadelphia Ledger:

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The Building Association and Home
Journal publishes a summary of the
work of Quincy Qllinois) society,
which shows at the same time the great
extent and usefulness of this form of CO.
operative saving. The Quincy society
has been no more successful than many
in this city, but the figures of its bus
mess for ten years happen to be pre-
sented in way that suggests comment.
In the ten Years three hundred thou
sand dollars were paid in as dues. This
was the sum actually saved by the mem
bers from their weekly earnings. An
other hundred thousand dollars was
paid in as premiums on loans and $685.
600 for interest. An item Of $26l 200
for loans repaid is perhaps largely rep
resented in the account of dues. Over
quarter of a million dollars was paid
out to withdrawing stockholders, and
$432, 600 was lent to borrowing mem
bers. The sales of real estate and pres
ent value Of real estate belonging to the:
society show that less than seven per
cent. in value of the loans made had to
be recorded by sale of the securities.
It should be remembered, too, that
these cases do not necessarily show
losses on the part of the borrow ers, but
generally only failure to save as much
as had been intended. In transactlne
this great business of three-quarters OF
a million dollars, the expenses have
been only ten thousand, or one thou
sand a year. This is the source of
profit The work Of management, paid
for at fair commercial rates, would prob
ably have eaten up all or very large
part of the profit that has been or is
ready to be divided to the stockholders

The shipments of Southern pig-iron
to the Eastern states where it under
sells Pennsylvania iron is striking
fact connected with the conditions OF
the iron trade. The Pennsylvania iron
makers say they cannot afford to make
pigiron for less than $18 ton, and the
price ought not to go below 500 ton !;
but Tennessee furnace owners say they
can make it for $12 ton and get q
profit. When rates of transportation
are low, Tennessee iron can be shipped
to Cincinnati and even to Pittsburg and
sold at profit. Ohio iron sent to the
East undersells that made in Pennsyl-
vania, and Tennessee iron sent to Gin
cinnai undersells that made in Ohio.
Tho inevitable result Of these prices
must be, in the end, to transfer the
business of iron-making to those re-
gions where iron can be made cheapest
the districts in the South where ore,
and coal are found alongside, and lab
or and living are cheap.
