How Made in the Various Countries
 of the World
 From the San Francisco Chronicle.1
 Let it then be established as a rule that the bed is the best that adjusts itself con- fortably to the person, that allows the head and limbs to maintain their natural position and gives freedom of movement during sleep to all the internal organs. It is not to be denied that these conditions are best sup piled in America. As a nation, the Ameri- cans are the most comfortable ill the world. They alone have the true idea of comfort, and their theories find legitimate application in more comfortable and better ventilated houses, better appointed hotels, more luxuri- ous means of travel, and in beds that, while they allow free transportation of the organs, afford the needed requisite of ease and warmth. As a result of this the Americans are an exceedingly well-informed people, diseases that affiict the masses of Europe, and there is among them an incomparably smaller percentage of deformity. This last result may, perhaps, in part be attributed to the superiar care which American mothers give their children, which has had telling effect on the last two three generations.
 The Japanese who have not yet yielded to modern civilization sleep on platforms soft ened only by thin mating, the head resting on a pillow shaped like fatiron, the point of support being the handle, which is slight ly padded. The physiology of the nation. after many hundred years of this mode of re- pose, presents few peculiarities deserving ad- miration. Japanese beds, nevertheless, are like the houses, remarkable for their neat ness,

Labor Scrip Explained.

COLUMBUS, Oct. 29.-Larkin McHugh, commissioner of labor statistics has been studying and agitating the question of labor scrip, g commodity much abused in the min ing districts by certain operators. The re- suit of MT. McHugh's investigations is an opinion from Revenue Collector Joseph S. Miller, of Washington that ''scrip-that is five and twenty-five cent notes payable in money and not in merchandise and issued by individuals and firms-is required under sec tion 19 of the act of February 8, 1875, (comp. 1879, page 114), to pay tax of 10 per oentum on the amount of such notes used for circulation and paid out by them" The communication instructs Collector New man to proceed immediately to learn the amount issued in his district and proceed at once to the collection of the lawful tax.

SERIOUS PHYSICAL. RESUL

Regarding the matter from more serious standpoint, there can be no doubt that the peculiarities of the French bed have had much to do with the imperfect physical de- velopnent of the French common people. Anyone who has ever seen them in masses has surely remarked that they are almost to man round -shouldered. A tall, straight policeman, such as are often seen in England or America. is scarcely to be seen at all in French cities. A person may look through twenty regiments of soldiers made up of young men from the country, and not find hundred not having this defect. It is most undoubtedly caused by the peeuliarities of the French bed, and more directly by the bolster, which raises the head above it's pro- per level.
