reau of Labor Statistics at Albany, n, Y. be-
cause he presided at Butler meeting of work

all over that State. 1t now appears that Gov

To Minnesota Republicans.

The Republican state central committee has
issued he following address:
To the Republican Voters of Minnesota: The
splendid victory in Ohio, excelling in magni-
tude and significance our highest hopes, in
spires the Republicans of the nation will re-
newed confidence in an overwhelming triumph
for Blaine and Logan in November. That
Minnesota win exceed, rather than fall
short of, her promised $1,000 Repub-
lican majority for the electoral ticket IS
now highly probable. 1t should be our pride
10 send Minnesota to the front as the ban
ner Republican state of the solid North and
we have a prospect of doing this, If we roll up
our pledged majority But even more i'm
portant duty lies before us That duty Is to
return a solid Republican delegation to con-
gross from the State of Minnesota. From the
gains already made in Maine, Ohio and else
where the Republicans of the country are en-
couraged to hope that they can rescue the
national house of representatives from Demo
cratic control In all the close and doubtful
districts they are straining every nerve
to accomplish this result 1T Is all I'M
portant for the success of President Blaine's
administration that he be sustained by
a Republican congress. 1t would be a
lasting shame and disgrace to republican

cratic Representative TO be sent to Washington

The paper manufactures are quick to
seize the excuse of the embargo ON the
importation of foreign rags to increase
the price of their wares. The makers
of writing paper have already agreed to
2 cents pound more, and the manufac-
tuners of other grades are likely to fol-
low suit. One effect of the embargo on
foreign rags will be to stimulate the
collection Of native rags. Prices have
ruled so low of late years that many a
housewife in the country who used to
stow away the accommodating rags against
the call of the roaming tin peddler has
taken to burning such rubbish. There
is no good reason why the cost of MAX
ing paper should be largely increased
by the shutting out of foreign rags, but
that Is by no means the same thing as
saying that prices will not be marked

The Diet of a nronkey.
Herald of Health

Herald of Health
DR.. Allison, London physician,
has been making experiments on mon
key. He says: Sons time ago i
boughta rhesis monkeys intending to
study his habits. He is about eighteen
inches high, and tame. I feed him
with the same food take myself, He
likes fruits best of all; raw grains and
cooked vegetables and potatoes next.
He prefers his potatoes without salt and
his rice without sugar. Peas and beans
he will not eat unless very hungry. He
always eats with his hands, the same
as the Turks, and as he does not wash
them beforehand, he swallaws much
dirt. When give him hot food he
has to wait until it cools before he can
eat it, or before he dare thrust his
hands into it. tried this plan few
times with my porridge and stews,
and had to wait before / dare fin
ger them. I thought that if mankind
were forced, like my monkey, to eat
with their fingers, that we should not
damage our teeth and stomachs with
hot foods, nor should we indulge in
soups. Soups are very good for exhaust
ed people, but not good for persons in
health, as they are not so easily digested
as more solid articles; in fact, the SUI
perfuous fluid they contain must be alb
sorbed before digestion goes on. Every
food offered him was first of all smelt
of, and then if the smell was agreeable,
he ate it; if otherwise, he threw it down.
If mankind would always be guided by
the sense of smell we should eat less
rotton cheese, high game, etc, than we
do, and consume more delicious fruits,
whose aroma naturally attract us. He
is also nose breather, and never saw
him breathe once through his mouth
another good example which mankind
might follow with benefit, as we natur-
ally are nose breathers.

of them fatal, the universal terror would
be appalling. Yet he officially declares
that there are now in London annually
$4,000 cases of scarlet fever, with
more than 2, 500 deaths. This annual
scourge, which, is in some respects
worse than cholera, is perfectly within
control of sanitary science aud could be
stamped out if science would properly
apply its knowledge of the disease. But
as scarlet fever arises from an unclean-
ly condition, which also invites a
seourge of cholera, it seems likely that
the latter plague Will have its own way
when it reaches London and will be
abundantly able to beat the record of
the scarlet fever.

The commissioner of the general land
office has submitted to Secretary Tel
Ter his report for the last fiscal year.
Again he recommends that the pre-emp-
tion law, the timber culture law, and
the desert land law be repealed, and
that the Communication provisions of the
homestead law be amended. All the
laws of this class, with one exception,
which were enacted for the benefit of
actual settlers on the public domain
should, in his opinion, be removed
from the statute book, and the provis-
ions of the law that is to be allowed to
remain should be made more stringent,
all on account of bold, persistent, syste-
matte violation in many territories and
in several states The commissioner
virtually says it Is impossible to enforce
the law or punish breakers. What
ever truth there may be in these state
ments it is not apprehended that con-
gress will repeal these laws.

the average attendance in the public

The largest average expenditure per

in public schools Of cities having a
population of $500 was in Oakland,
California, where the amount reached
500 O2 for instruction and 81 SO for in
cidental expenses; and the lowest ex-
penditure was so 80, in Little Rock,
for instruction and supervision and
