Interesting and Instructive Facts Cleaned
from the Report of the New Jersey Blu
reau of Statistics of Labor and Indus
tries.
Fourteen States have Bureaus of Sta
tistics of Labor, the oldest being that
of Massachusetts, which, under the
management of a statistician of ability
and experience, Hon, Carroll d.
Wright, has contributed immensely
to the facilities for the study of various
social and industrial problems. The
Massachusetts, Bureau was established
in 1869; but the bureaus in six of the
fourteen States date from 1888 and
1884. 1t is to be hoped that other
States will establish bureaus at as
early a day as possible. 1t costs but
little comparatively to sustain them;
and the facts and statistics which they
can gather, arrange and print in annual
reports would be of incalculablc value
to legislators, and to all students of So
cial and economical questions. Much
of the legislation which is being put
upon the statute-b books deals either di-
rectly or indirectly with such questions,
and is too often based upon unsupport-
ed theories rather than well-ascertained
facts. No State can really afford to be
without Bureau of Statistics of Labor
and Industry
We have been looking over the sew
enth annual report of the New Jersey
Bureau of Statistics of Labor and In
dustries, and have been specially i'm
pressed with chapter concerning the
condition of wage-earners, and how it
can be improved. The chapter is made
up of passages from letters of individ-
ual workmen and others, and is very
interesting as we'll as instructive. Vari-
Gus industries are represented, much
information is given, and not few
striking suggestions are offered. Rum
appears in large number of cases as
the fruitful cause of material, physical,
social and moral deterioration, and
prohibition, total abstinence, local OPP
ton and moderation are named as the
most efficient remedies. according to
the personal views of the writer. We
quote some of the sentences, first as to
the cause:
whisky and beer are the great obstacles
here"
"Intemperance is the cause of very much
wretchedness in our families"
THE greatest evil is strong drink"
Our morals here are low on account of
rum"
MANY of the hands drink to excess"
"Tho liquor traffic has bad effect on our
trade"
"Strong drink Injuries great many of us"
Morality would be good except for drunk
enness "
Too large a portion OF our wages go to the
sellers of rum and beer"
drunkenness is the bane of the working
classes"
MANY Of our men love beer more than their
families"
Drink Is the working.mun's curse"
Tobacco and liquor are great injury"
Except for beer and whisky, we are very
moral"
Rum does much TO lower us"
"Working-men drink too much for their own
good"
Rum and beer are our great enemies"
"Our cOAdtion Is much lower than IL should
be. This results principally from the use of
liquor and from ignorance"
much immorahty-whlsky is ut the bot
TOM"
Ignorance and intemperance are the chief
causes which prevent us from improving"

painters"

SINGULAR DISEASES.
Everyday Affections That Are More
Harmful Than Aphasia or Miriatchit.

Everyday Affections That Are More
Harmful Than Aphasia or Miriatchit.
Among the most singular diseases
which have been developed in modern
times is that of GphGsid, in which the
patient loses the memory of certain
words, or rather the power to attach
the proper word to an idea. A victim
of this disease recently lost the ability
to pronounce any word but Eyes,
while his brain was as active and clear
as before. He would read the morning
paper, and proceed to make livelveom-
ments on the news to his family, all of
which consisted of the single word,
Yes" uttered with every va.lety of
infection. He, meanwhile, wss totally
unaware that he was not speaking
with all his wonted Gu,ncy and
force. A cure was effected il this case,
and the mind of the patiently was found
to be clear and untouched by this
strange ailment
Another remarkable disease is noted
by an American specialis in cerebral
affections, and also By famous Span
ish physician, Armanqle Y. Tuset.
Miriatchit is disease which originated
among the prisoners of Eastern Sibe-
ria. The patient is irresistibly impelled
to initiate the words spoken by his
companion; he can, in ,act, make no
other sounds than those which he hears.
This disease is chronic and contagious,
and is accompanied by fever, great di-
iation of the pupils of the eyes and in
cessant laughter, and leaves the pa
tent exhausted, the events of the time
in which he has been affected being an
utter blank to him. After the attack
is past, the patient revovers his full
strength of mind. and loses the incli-
nation to initiate like mocking-bird.
Now, the story of these strange
diseases Expresses us like nightmare
horror. But is there no more common
place mental ailment which has in it
even deeper loss and tragedy? A young
man, for example gives himself up to
money-making, or young girl to the
pursuit of fashion. for years, with the
result that they forget, not spoken
words, like the victim of aphasia, but
luedS, pTluClplcS anu feelings. Lie
soul, dwarfed and shrunken. knows
nothing of the wise, noble life once
possible to it, but goes about like an
imbecile, crying out: Dress! dress"
or Money! money! Or, the lad or
girl, just setting cut in life, afraid to act
from the law of common-sense and
conscience within, becomes silly
imitator of others, and receives
from some one whom he or she re
CARDS as social power, ideas of duty,
or manners, even of religion. These
weak creatures do not, like the Siberian
aniriGtsha, echo the words only of their
companions, but their thoughts and
actions, and so become, in brain and
soul, base copies of poor originals.
When these singular neural diseases
are cured, the brain, we are told, is un-
impaired. But for the commoner all
ments we have described, there is no
cure. They attack the soul itself-the
seat of life. Their work is not for this
world only, but for eternity. = YOUTHS

A SODA MOTOR.
An Invention Which Promises to RevoIu
tionize Street Car Traffic.


tionize Street Car Traffic.
Minneapolis is anxiously waiting the
results of experiments with a soda
motor" which the inventor claims will
revolutionize street car traffic, and who
thus explains its workings: "A suitable
quantity of properly diluted soda raised
to its boiling point (429 degrees) is
placed in a closed tank in intima tie con-
tact with the steam boiler filled with
steam and water in the usual proper
tons and at the working pressure. On
the opening of the throttle steam passes
into the cylinders, does its work, and
passes into the soda solution through
the exhaust pipe, which ends in per-
forated tube extending through the
soda, the remaining heat being alb
sorbed into the latter. When the soda
is so dilute that it can no longer main
tain the difference of temperature nee
essary to make steam, the soda I've is
discharged and a new charge of hot
condensed soda taken in. This opera
ton requires about five minutes, and is
called recharging. 1t has to be done
on an average once in six hours. The
operation of the engine is precisely
that of any steam engine, except that
there is no exhaust into the air and no
fire nor smoke connected with the
boiler. Steam is produced without fire
by the heat generated in the soda lye
which surrounds the boiler, and the ex-
haust steam is led from the cylinder
directly into the soda I've instead of into
the air. Thus a working pressure is
maintained without any of the objec-
tionable vapors appearing, as in the
case of the ordinary motor, for the
simple reason that there are no vapors
