In recent lecture Prof Brewer, of
Yale College, illustrated the idea that
''man is worth more than the land" by a
case which came under his own observa-
ton. A man bought a farm for $40 an
acre. He SO improved it that in few
years he was offered $500 an acre for it.
At his death it sold for $3.50 an acre. In
a few years the purchaser sold it for $500
an acre to man who finally disposed of
it for $la an acre. Here it was plainly
the men and mot the farm that deter.
mined the value

Spontaneous Combustion Of Hay.

After series Of very careful expert
ments, Prof. Cohn, of Breslau, has found
that the heating of damp hay TO a temp
erature sufficient to cause the spontaneous
combustion of it is due to fungus. He
first studied the heat-generating action
of Aspergillus .fttnigdtats, which has
the bad reputation Of heating barley in
the course Of termination and of render
ing it sterile. Through the effect Of the
respiration Of the little germ, that is TO
say, through the combustion Of the starch
and other hydrocarburets which the dias-
tasic ferment convert; into maltrose and
dextrine, the temperature is raised by
about 40 deg. The heating of the germs
to more than go deg. occurs only through
the Intervention 81 the Aspergiltsts,
which acts as ferment Under these
conditions it reaches its greatest deveL
opment and produces its maximum action.
In this state it rapidly burns the
hydrocarburets. II La Petite Revue.

Clara Denton regarded her companion
anxiously for moment, and then said:
II swear to you that shall be very
happy if you only tell me you will con-
sent to what have proposed"
His answer, when It came, was an i'm
patient exclamation of irony and anger.
Then he said:
You will pardon me, madam, if SO
sudden a change In my sentiments can
not be as prompt as you wish.
She blushed slightly. ~
Yes. she said, with FAINT smile, !

self with the idea, try to LOOK upon me

Profit Sharing.

Three years ago the Campbell's Creek
Coal Company, in the Kanawha Valley,
commenced the sharing of profits with
its men, and on the first occasion divided
something over $4,000. Last year the
amount was much less, because the
profits were smaller. The result this
wear is shown in the announcement that
on September 30 the company divided
"a, 500 among the men. The money is
given out in proportion to the amount OF
wages the men earn, and the last distri-
button gave each man an average OF
about $50. Besides sharing the profits
the company docs a sort of insurance
business among the miners in novel and
commendable manner. In that N1istrict
the miner is 'idocked'' or forfeits GER
tain amount of his wages when the coal
he turns out has over fixed per cent
age of slate. The company mentioned
takes the dockage according to the gen.
eral custom, but that amount, instead OF
going to the company, is put into a fund
for the benefit Of the men. From this
fund the men are entitled to draw "a
per week when sick On several .occa-
sions, when through numerous demands
this fund has become exhausted, the
| firm replenished it temporarily. In an
other way this company and its employ
ees have moved together for the common
good. In that locality the public schools
are open only about four months in the
| wear. To continue the schools fer nine
months each year the miners pay each 20
cents per month into private school
fund The effect Of this plan Of sharing
profits, and the mutual good feeling be-
tween the men and their employers is
plainly apparent. The men are content
| ed and steady; they have improved NOR
ally and physically. Il American Manu-

AUs1RAL1AN SYSTEM.
Belief That Law Will be Passed In.
dorsing 1t.


WAsHNGToy January 15,h-The Star
SAYS the House COMMITTEES on the Z ecjion
of President and Vice-President is to get
to work on the proposed Federal election
law to morrow.
Mr.. Lodge VINO has charge of this partic.
ular measure has been waiting for all the
bills on the subject to come 10 his commit
tee before formulating his general plan.
The general impression has been all along
that be proposed to press the passage Of
some radical measure-a sort of force bill
which would apply, in practice, to the
South only.
The plan he now proposes is to make
the Australian system general in its appli-
cation 10 all Congressional elections. He
does not think that measure that would
be so narrow in its application that it could
aim merely a the South could be carried
through the HoEse or would receive the
sanction Of public opinion.
On the other hand the necessity for some
general reform of election methods is felt
in all sections Of the country, and the Aus
tralian system is apparently meeting with
the approval Of popular sentiment.
Such reform, Il is held, should apply as
well in any other section as in the South
and should be n0n-partisan.
The Australian system has met the APP
prevail of many Of the most prominent
Democrats in the country. and in its APP
plicstion In Massachusetts it was approved
by both parties Elk President Cleveland
has spoken in favor of il. Governor Camp
bell, of Ohio. recommended it in his in
augural address TO be applied to the cleo
tons il Ohio.
General Greer, of New JERSEY, another
Democratic STATE executive, strongly rec
ommends the system in his message 10 the
Legislature yesterday.
Governor Hill and Senator German are
he only prominent Democrats who have
come out against the system, and there is
suspicion in the public mind that both Of
these men are more or less interested in
machine politics.
1t is believed by Mr.. Lodge and other
Republicans who have been interesting
themselves in this question, that with the
strong Endorsement OF this system which
it has had from the prominent mer of
both parties in its local application, it
will not be diff cult to pass national law
making it general in its application TO Con-
gressionai elections
They think tbsre will be 40 strong oppo-
sition. The proposition is to conduct all
the Congressional elections as the last cleo
lion IN Boston was conducted.
The adoption of such a national law,
they think, will cure the evils now existing
at the polls, and will be sanctioned by pub
lie sentiment
The strong null of the sentiment that hss
already developed in favor of the system,
they believe, viii disarm the opposition.
The principal grounds Of attack when the
bill comes into the House, will be that
Congress has 70 right to interfere with the
elections in the States.
Mr. Lodge will be prepared to meet this
objection with the demonstration of the
right of Congress 10 regulate Congressional
elections.
