Facts Concerning Stage Wages.

The prevalence of the 'stage craze" among women is not due to the love of excitement or other emotional cause, but to the gener- orally accepted opinion that they can make better living in the dramatic profession than in any other vocation. To certain extent this is true. The moment woman gains recognition a trustworthy and capa- ble performer in the legitimate drama or light opera she commands salary from $50 a week upward for the entire season. Esti- mating this at forty weeks would give a minimum salary of s1,2O0 year, or SPA a week. The position requires disbursements unknown in other callings She must have good wardrobe and be neatly if not hand somely dressed in private life, and both of these conditions involve a considerable out lay. On the other side she receives a certain discount in nearly all business dealings. Not only do hotels, but milliners, bootmakers and other tradesmen regularly give what are known as 'theatrical rates,n these meaning an average discount of at least thirty per cent.
 In no other industry are such figures known. The average shopgirl receives $6 a week, seamstress $S, bookkeeper $10, type writer $10, factory hand $5, tailor operative $4 and cigarette maker S6. Allowing for dull seasons, these figures, small as they are in comparison with those paid upon the stage, are still further reduced. Besides this nota- ble inequality is a much more powerful difference. On the stage there is no limit as to earnings. Every actor has before him the potentiality of fame and fortune. Each looks forward to enjoying at some time the princely success which has rewarded Mary Anderson, Mrs. Langtry, Lotta and Maggie Mitchell. In the other industries the limit of earning is quickly reached beyond which industrial laws allow no progress. This is the real magnet which draws women toward the foot | ights.-New York Press

Gas Explosions on Steamships.

With the object of reducing the danger of explosions of gas ill the bunkers of her mai esty's ships, the admiralty have issued new rules for the government of the steam re- serves. According to these, directly after the coaling of a ship is finished, the engineer officer is to see that the coal shutes are quite clear of coal. Coal should not be taken on board wet, moisture sometimes causes rapid and dangerous generation of heat and gas. While the decks are being washed after coaling, the close bunker covers are to be re- placed to prevent water passing into the bunkers, and the coal should always be kept as dry as possible. The ventilating pipes to bunkers, when so fitted, should be kept clear. No light, except in a safety lamp, is to be used inside the coal bunkers until it has been ascertained that they do not contain ex- plosive gas; and special precautions in this respect are to be taken for few days after coaling. Where coal bunkers are not pro- vided with permanent ventilating fittings, the lids are to be taken off twice week, and kept off at least ten hours during the week. Every precaution is to be taken to ventilate such bunkers before men are sent to work in them. In order to render the ventilation efficient there must be at least two openings one for the admission of pure air, and the other for the escape of foul air-and, where the two permanent ventilating fittings do not include both, the bunker lids are to be taken off periodically.-London Times.

A CONTRAST OF SYSTEMS.


 Those whose vote is in the balance will find food for thought in study of the re- publican and democratic systems. The former proposes to make dearer the neces- saries of life; the latter proposes to cheapen them. The former proposes to take money out of the channels of trade and lock it up in the treasury; the latter proposes to leave it in the industries and business. Which is the better plan?
 There is now locked up in the treasury over $133, 900, ,000, and this surplus grows at the rate of nine or ten millions month The democrats propose to keep down this growth by taking off some of the surplus and unnecessary revenues. They design to place on the free list certain raw materials of universal consumption which are now taxed, and then to reduce not more than 2 per cent the average tariff on articles now dutiable The free admission of these raw materials, as President Cleveland showed in his message of last winter and again in his letter of acceptance, will stimulate our domestic industrial enterprises by cheapen- ng the cost of production while conserving the interests of producing labor. The re- ductions proposed on dutiable articles are so adjusted as not to fall on labor, the cut being mainly in the materials that enter into their manufacture. By reason of these reductions the demand for our goods will be increased, the market will be widened, the demand for labor will be stimulated, emp loyment will be made steadier, and the field for trusts will be narrowed. By this policy the prosperity of the country will be increased and the milk and honey of good times diffused over the land.
 The republicans propose continuation and increase of existing evils. They would advance existing duties to the point of prohibition, thus destroying commerce and abolishing what little their system has left us of a merchant marine. Rather than tighten one iota of the excessive taxes of the high tariff they would repeal entirely the internal revenue taxes, including those on whiskey, tobacco and oleomargarine. They would make wool higher and still further hamper our woolen mills, although the home product falls far short of the amount consumed. We use 600, ,OOO, ,OOO pounds of wool year, while our product is less than half that amount. Cloths and clothing must be made dearer, according to the republican plan, even if we have free whiskey, free tobacco and bogus butter
 Those voters who have not yet made a choice of candidates will find in the dem ocratic system the best policy for the in terests of America. They will vote for American interests when they deposit their ballot for honest Grover Cleveland and brave old Allen G. Thurman.

GOOD FOR THE TRUSTS.

Our resources as nation are so great that without serious injury to anybody we could shut out importations altogether by prohibitory duties and so raise no revenue at all from the tariff. In many cases such prohibitory duties would be an absolute benefit to the country and just as effective in reducing the surplus putting the same articles on the free ist.-Waterbury Exchange.
 Oh, no; not an absolute benefit to the country, but an absolute, a priceless ben eft to the trusts. That's the kind of political economy that brings comfort and joy to the huge conspiracies that are reach ing their powerful tentacles across this broad land. Shutting out importations bring no serious injury to anybody How about the thousands of workmen who find employment about the ports of entry The stevedores and carters and dock hands. the sailors and mariners and steamship seers, and all the vast army of men whose living wages come from our international commerce. Shut out all imports, abolish exports, wipe out what little of merchant marine our war tax system has left us, destroy commerce altogether, and no serious injury will result to anybody Shut up home pro duction to the home market, cramp the energies of industry by a restricted outlet, and turn over competition to the great combinations that are born of such a sys- tenn And all this will work no serious in jury to anybody Out upon such political economy, such pampering to trusts that ''are the natural offspring of market arti- ficially restricted"
 The policy of the republican party has been we'll stated by our exchange-the policy that would put up 8 Chinese wall around this country and shut us out from all commercial intercourse with the world. We can look to China for the results of such policy. "With the oldest civilization in the world, with every variety of soil and climate and natural resources, with a frugal and industrious people, with 6 literature abounding in philosophical and speculative thought, the useful arts and manufactures are still in their infancy, and labor is still the abject slave of capital. J We don't want another China here, and the political system that our misguided ex change would foist on the country will find little favor with Americans. We prefer policy that will build up the country and make it what all it's natural resources ant the energies of it's people destine it to be the greatest commercial and industria country on the face of the globe.
 That's the policy of President Clevelart and the democratic party.

A RAP FROM UNDER THE HAT,

That was sly rap that General Harrison gave MT Blaine over his trust knuckles. It has been thought the magnetic statesman was playing the role of Harrison's Burch- ard, but now the little man has reached out from under his grandfather's hat and taken hand at the game himself. MT Harrison has declared that trusts are abuses which call for corrective legislation, giv- ing sly rebuke to the "real leader'' who called them "private affairs" which had no place in national campaign. The little man has turned the tables very neatly and left Blaine exposed to the country as a public defender of the hydra headed monsters. It would make mighty interest ing reading now if MT Blaine would ex- press publicly his private opinion of liar rison. "Oh, what row, what racket and a rioting" there would be in the ranks of the g. O. p.
 But it would be interesting all the same.

HUGH MCCULLocH, who was secretary of the treasury under Presidents Lincoln and Arthur, said of President Cleveland's s message last December which the repub- licans persist in declaring free trade; "In the main I agree with those views. am very glad to see MT Cleveland insist with such emphasis upon putting the issue squarely before the people. His action, under the circumstances, marks him as a man whose ability has been greatly under estimated. There is no question over which the general government has juris- diction that is of such vital importance as the financial policy which we are tc pursue. MT Cleveland has marked out 6 course which can be safely followed'. Is McCulloch free trader

The "Didn't-Know-It-was- -Loaded' Fiend.


 Here is a method which an ingenious friend suggests to me as the proper punish ment for the brainless individual who points pistol at relative. and after he has shot him dead says he "didn't know it was loaded" Let the ignorant ass who did the murder be placed erect with his back to @ wall. In front of him let there be basket filled to the brim with revolvers, all alike in shape. Let him then be told that all those revolvers are empty but one, which is loaded with ball, and let an executioner then appear and pick out twenty of the revolvers one after another and snap them at the ignorant mans head. If the loaded pistol happens to be among the score picked out, and the offender is shot dead, well and good; he can never so offend again; while if the loaded pistol remains in the basket and he escapes he will have received lesson of kind cal culated to make him fight shy of firearms for the rest of his natural life."-Chicago Journal

DIET OF THE AGED.
What an Authority Says on the Subject.
 A Popular Error.

What an Authority Says on the Subject.
 A Popular Error.
 An aut hority of no less weight than Sir Henry Thompson declares, in a recent hand book, that considerably more than half of the disease which embitters life among the middle and upper classes of the population is due to avoidable errors in diet. And while he tells us that with few exceptions men and women are healthier and stronger in every way without alcoholic drinks than with them he does not hesitate to declare, at the same time, that more mischief, in the form of active disease, impaired vigor, and shortened life, arises from erroneous habits in eating than from the occasional use of alcoholic drink, great as he knows the evil of it to be.
 Sir Henry does not think it a bad sign that the appetite should diminish as age increases; and he deprecates any attempts by stlmu- lants or tonics or concentrated foods to Sim prove" the appetite in such cases. As we in crease in age we put forth less energy and activity, and as consequence we have less power to eliminate excess of food. The scientific view of the case is simple enough to be popularly comprehended. The over supply of nutrition must be thrown off or absorbed into the system. With the young the surplus is got rid of by active work or exercise; but even in tender years it makes its presence felt in occasional sickness. From about middle life onward it is packed away in the form of fat; and it may make its presence known by interfering with the action of the liver, by rheumatic attacks and obscure and troublesome diseases.
 While condemning excess generally, Sir Henry Thompson holds, with Cornaro, that from middle life onward persons who would have health and long life go together must conform to nature and reduce the daily sup ply of food. When 70 is reached it is more than ever necessary, he tells us, that this should be done; and in the same way, at 80 with less activity, there must be less support. If this course be followed a right good and happy and even useful old age may be en- joyed; providing, of course, there is no in herited taint to be combated and accidents do not come in the way. The difficulty in such case is that man wants to be saved from friends and relatives who are apt to re- gard lessening appetite with alarm, and seek by endearments, and when these fail by threats and also by superstitious means, to force the palate beyond its natural require ments. Plain and frugal fare, then, would seem to be the essential condition not only of prolonged but of happy existence; and the ancient maxim remains guiding principle to the race, that 'man must eat to live, not live to eat. Leeds Mercury

THE RED BANDANA

We believe in thaa part of Belva's plat form published in the DEMOCRAT referring to education, the lack of which is shown by her grammar. But the demand that every husband buy a Shoninger Piano or Organ for his wife entirely destroys her chances. Oh, Belva, would you destroy family ties throughout our land? No. The Red Bandana will be used for the next four years in dusting such Fine Pianos as Mason & Hamlin, Boardman & Gray, Baus, and Wilcox & White and New Eng land Organs. A company with business stability is preferred to the hireling of a manufacturer who sells Pianos for new ones and few months later claims they were manufactured long years ago.
