EDITORIAL NOTES.

DR.. Meitkerke, an English physician, be-
heves that single patent soothing medicine
he can name is the undoubted cause of the
death of 150, 900 children annually in Great
Britain alone
In the year 1777, says the Philadelphia
Press, considerable interest was manifested
in an announcement that six stoves had been
completed in Philadelphia. The annual
product of the stove foundries in that city is
now valued at $4, ,000, 900, and the industry
supports about Il, 900 people.
The workmen of London are demanding
the eight hour system, and they want the
government to find employment for those
who cannot find it elsewhere. The expert
ment they demand has been tried in France,
but it did not work well. It would not in
London.
A Frenchman has been studying the fate
of crowned heads, and his list of the unfor-
tunate rulers of the world is interesting He
reckons that up to the present time 2,54O
emperors and kings have governed 81 ma
tions. Of these sovereigns 300 were driven
from their thrones, 64 abdicated, "a commit
ted suicide, 12 becams insane, 100 fell in bat
tie, 1913 were made prisoners, % died mar
tyrs, 151 were assassinated and 1OS legally
condemned to death and executed.
The Supreme court of Massachusetts, has
just decided that it is not criminal for an
inhabitant of that State to take a short walk
for certain purposes on Sunday. The public
statutes declare that 'whoever travels on
the Lords day, except from necessity or
charity, shall be punished by fine not ex-
ceeding ten dollars for each offense." The
court holds that if man takes short walk
for air and exercise or to ''call on a
neighbor," " he is not an unlawful traveller or
breaker of the Sunday law. In reaching
this conclusion it lays much stress on the
brevity and innocent purpose of the walk.
Dickens has been much criticised for his
apparent acceptance of the theory of sponta-
neous combustion, but Sir w. Gull lately
testified to a surprising case before the COM
mittee cf the House Of Lords on intempsr-
snce. A large, bloated man who was suffer
ing from difficulty of breathing and great
distension of the venous system died at Guys
hospital. At the post-mortem of the follow
ing day there was no sign of decomposition
and the body was believed to be distended
with gas. "When punctures were made into
the skin," said Sir William, "and lighted
match applied, the gas which escaped burned
with the ordinary flame of carburetted hy-
drogen. As many as q dozen of these small
flames were burning at the same time.
The case of Jules Giquel, Boston agent
of the Law and Order league, is a singular
one. Five attempts to proceed against him
have failed. Giquel and companion testi-
fed at the trial of one Cunniff last year that
on June 6, 1884, at 1915 p. M, can of
liquor had been sold in Cunniff's saloon to a
child. Cunnif denied the story under oath,
and swore neither detective had been in the
saloon. Cunniff was acquitted, but Judge
McCaferty; who had conducted the trial, re-

Ripen cream by an occasional stirring,

In churning start slowly at first, and keep up
regular motion. When the butter has gran

Calves Raised by Hand.-Unless such are
fed carefully they are apt TO have bowel
troubles, either of looseness or constipation.
Let the feed at the start be milk from
the COW, gradually changing to skinned
milk with meal added. Scalded Indian meal
and rye -four, hnseed oil cake, or wheat mid
dlings are suitable. The quantity of either
of these latter should be small at first, and
increasing gradually until the calves are
turned to grass. A half pint of fine corn
meal, or third more of middlings, beside
gill of linseed meal each day, ought to
answer for a fair sized calf.

Keep your hens, physically, comfortable.
No matter how costly the hennery, or the
breed, if the hens do not show by their cackle
and manner that they are happy, there will
be little profit During the summer they
need plenty of green food, with grain and
some meat, while shelter from rain, moisture
and wind must be at hand Their winter
quarters must be comfortable, well ventilated,

In report upon the overcrowding of Dub
lin DR.. Cameron points out certain of the dis
astrous results of the desertion of the city by
wealthy families, who prefer to live abroad
or in England. Their empty houses are, for
the most part, turned into tenements for the
poorest class of the population, who are hud-
died together with an appalling disregard of
health or cleanliness. No less than $4,000
families live in 1894 houses, containing 49,
116 rooms. In addition to being overcrowd-
ed the people of Dublin are scandalous1y
robbed in the matter of rent, for 175 houses,
which as freeholds are valued at e8,677 are
sublst to poor tenants at rates which pro-
duce an income of eS.311. One house which
is valued at e8 is occupied by eight families,
who pay ESQ year in rent.
A valuable work has been done by the
Central Labor union of New York. 1t was
organized to protect the poor working girls
which In many cases were very gross and
| cruel, and from which they had practically
| no protection, inasmuch as they had nc
| money to pay lawyers fees for prosecuting
their cases in court The society supplied
| this want, and an end was put to the unjust
| fines, the failure and delay to pay wages
and all such forms of injustice and extortion
| while the organization has also enabled then
| to resist reductions in wages when arbitrary
| and simply from greed and avarice. The
latest triumph of the society has been il
preventing reduction of the wages of sew
| ing girls to the amount of 81 per week, the
strike only lasting few days.
| A F1orentine publisher, who was able tt
find complete postal statistics of the worle

rope 65, 500 receiving offices. Al, 500 telegraph
offices and 225, 900 letter boxes. The tota

The Resting Place of Buddhass Tooth.
[From Casselrs Family Magazine for May.l
The ''Palace of the Sacred Tooth" is
meagre erection to have such dignifed
title. The building is small, has no pre-
tensions to architecture, and is SO dilapida-
ted that the rain comes through the roof.
The Wihara, OF chamber in which the rel
ic is kept, Is small room about twelve
feet square. At the entrance are two SEN
try-box looking constructions with glass
windows. These are lamps kept perpetu
ally lighted, the flame not having been al
lowed to die out for my yeanars. The
sanctum is very splendid, the roof and
walls being lined with gold broeade, and
the frames of the door inlaid with carved
ivory. The air is oppressive with the per
pecially are favorite offering at Buddha's
shrine, and ara always present in great
profusion. On one occasion no less than
6 6,4S0, 800 flowers were counted at the
shrine, and it is recorded that in the ff-
teenth century a royal devotee sent one
hundred thousand flowers a day for a con-
siderable time, and each day the flowers
were of a different kind. The karundua
or vessel containing the tooth, stands COW
cred on table of massive silver, richly
chased, in the midst of profusion of val
liable articles of iewelry, which are either
relics or offerings. The most beautiful in
the collection is bird with wings spread.
1t is formed entirely of diamonds, rubies,
blue sapphires, etc, set in gold, which is
hid by profusion of gems. While we
were all admiring this magnificent offering
the priests or monks removed several folds
of muslin from the karundua, and discov-
cred sort of dome of gilded silver, about
five feet high, studded with few gems.
When this was removed another was found
underneath made of beautifully carved
gold. This was festooned with jeweled
chains and literally encrusted with all the
glittering gems for which Ceylon is so cell
ebrated-sapphires and emsralds of extra
ordinary size, catseyes (mueh prized), ru-
bies, amethysts and pearls, Another SINH
lar covering, and still another, were taken
off, when at last was reached small case
of gold, covered externally with rubies,
emeralds and diamonds, in which, resting
on the leaves of gold lotus, was the tooth
itself. The prince was about to take up
the relic when he was stopped by the
Dewa Nilteme (who is associated with the
priests as guardian Of the tooth), and in
formed it was too sacred to be touched by
human hands.

that acquization Of great wealth more
often begets stinginess than liberality.
With an apparent show of fairness,
the rich say that the working classes
have like privilege to organize COM
binations for the maintenance of
their interests, but such contest with
capital is an unequal one, and has
generally proven SO in this country,
although it is said to have been sue
cessful to quite an extent in England
and other European countries. But
the attempts of labor to control capital
by resort to strikes in great majority
Of cases proves a losing operation. Tie
laborer generally has but little to fall
back upon for support after he cease $
work If he stops long to expostulate
with his employer, himself and family
soon become breadless. Capital almost
invariably worries out labor combina-
tions and defeats their purposes. But
after all that is being said and written,
it must be confessed it is far easier to
describe present wrongs than to point
ont a practicable remedy for their adj
justment.
