The law OF the mutual attraction of oppOsites
finds a curious illustration in the selection of
DIR. John G. Lee secretary of legation at Con-

by a handbook for Coroners, and by mono
graphs on Homicide and Suicide Between

Economy in Production.

How greatan economy can be de-
rived fropT otlef things than labor bap-
pears when we-hotice the relations Of
wages to total cost andlof material to
tota cost, In Mr. Ratner's estimate
of the cost 81 paper in 1868 wages, cost
o., f,superintendence and maragement
and3lephirs arc only-i7N per cent. d the
total cost of making the paper while
the cost, ,ofthc materials that are di-
lrectly used in tkelpaper erE3=rass, sizing.
etc.,-is 64a per cent. OF the total cost.
The censils,of 1880. shows nearly the
same percenta ges-17 T. per- cent for
wages alone and 63 per cent. for mate
-riais. EAs-an element in tire 7cost Tf
production, materials are foaru times
more burdensome to the manufacturer
than waacs.E if.a manufac tprer r'canf
lcompetc,s alet him look to his ri1aterf
ais, and not to his labor, for remedy.
The increase in the rate OF wages has
been very marked in the thirty-three
years from 1877 to 1880. Taking the
.wages\of fourteen workmen in 1847, we
find that the aggregateFis $11 40 for "a
day. The,same men, doing the same
kinds oftwork in 1880, earned $235S,
an increase of 1917 per cent. The high
est mark was reached in 1873, when
fifteen certain ,workmen earned $3497,
against $11. in 1S47, ian increase of
200 per cent. The statistics are pro-
fuse in this country and in England.
showing that the rate of wages is on
the increase in the long run. Besides
this, the comforts of tile working
classes are gaining. they haYe more
and better food, better houses, new
conveniences and more fuel, warmer
clothing, and more Injuries, while,
those things that were once luxuries
have grown into necessaries through
daily use. Loud7mohthed fanatics are
not wanting who talk in the gloomiest
way about the condition OF working
people, but they are evidently ignorant
Of the tendency of the times. In near
| " every industry besides paper manu-
facturc, If not every one, wages have
increased, and the lives, of the working
| people have become more worth living.

that man once had Il small boy in
training as hurdle rider of four ponies.
The act is familiar one rs done with
full-sized horses by an adult, the per-
former, standing on the back OF one

and finally mastered it through his
greater terror of the teacher than OF
the horseback danger. Now. it is IA
traditional usage among circus people
that smile must be on the face OF "a
performer A ballet7girl without her
characteristic grin would be nd greater
"a curiosity than an equestrian who did
not show his teeth along with his agill-
ty. Bdtthis child found il. almost inn
possible TO smile Instead al distress
ful expression OF fright came into his
face. That would not do. andn he was
literally dubbed until he smiled. --M
