Limits of Natural Vision.

The limits of vision vary with eleva-
ton, conditions of the atmosphere, in
tensity of illumination, and other modi-
flying elements in different cases. On a
clear day an OBJ one foot above a
level plain may be seen at distance CT
IL miles; one ten feet high, 4. 10 miles;
one twenty feet high, $50 miles; one
100 feet high, 19. l miles; one mile
high, as the top of mountain, 95.23
miles. This allows seven inches-or to
be exact, 6 90 inches-for the curvature
of the earth, and assumes that the size
and Examinations of the object are suf-
fcient to produce an image. Five
miles may be taken as the extreme limit
at which a man is visible on fiat plain
to an observer on the same level.

In Debt"

A man who attempted to raise some
money on a subscription paper for q
necessary church out West relates his
experience thus:
"The first man l went to said he was
very sorry, but the fact was he was so
involved In his business that he couldn't
give anything. Very sorry, but man
I'm debt as he was owed his first duty TO
his creditors.
ale was smoking an expensive cigar,
and before left his store he bought or
a peddler who came In a pair OF expens-
i've Rocky Mountain cuff buttons.
"The next man went TO was young
Clerk In banking establishment, He
read the paper over, acknowledged that
the church was needed, but he said he
was owing for his board, was badly In
debt, and did not see how he coald give
anything.
@That afternoon, as / went by the
base. ball grouads, saw this young man
pay so cents a. the entra &C to go In, and
saw him Ii cunt the grand stand where
special seats were so d for a quarter OF
dollar.
"The third man to whom / presented
the paper was farmer living near tho
town. He also was sorry, but times
wee hard, the crops had been q part al
failure, the mortgage on his farm wa a
heal y load, the interest was coming &,
and he eally could not see his way clear
to give to the church, a though it was
just what the new town needed.
"A week from that time i saw that
same farmer i've into town with his
entire family, and go to the circus, after
noon and night, at an expense CT at least
four dollars

various State Alliance presidents was
stricken out. A substi ute was adopted
con ,t.tuting committee of five 10 be
elected by the council and to act as ad-
visory to the Pre- ident. Another amend
ment permits females to pay the per
capita tax and become the basis of rep
resentation as well as males.
A resolution was offered, asking Con-
gress to pension only honorab!y dis
charged and INDECENT soldiers and to
provide for the payment of al pensions
by issuing Sub-Treasury notes for that
purpose. Jerry Simpson and General
Weaver led the opposition, and Con-
gresham Livingston, President Folk
and others from the South favored it's
adoption. When put to vote the reso-
luton was carried by a decide ma ority.
The scandal growing out OF the con-
nec,ion of the State agents with the
National Union Company was called to
the attention of the council by the sub
mission Of report which recommended
that the National Union Company be
Endorsed by the council. The whole
matter was laid upon the table. A reso-
luton was then adopte declaring that
the council was not respon ible for the
acts of the business agents.
The Ocala platform was approved with
but two changes in the word
ing of the Sub.Treasury plank.
Where that section now reads "shall
loan money" upon imperishable farm
products it is changed to shall issue
money" and where it reads mot more
than per cent interest" the last word
is changed to "tax. The report was re-
ceived with cheers

Work and Wages.

AT the recent meeting Of the learned
British association there was q dis
cussion of the difference in the wages
of men and women doing the same
work. The conclusion seemed to be
that there is no great difference, after
all, and therefore not much to dis
cuSs.
The same matter is debated now
and then in this country. All right
thinking people will agree that q
woman is entitled to the pay which a
man would receive for the same work,
equally well done.
Nevertheless, this does not mean
that Alice Jones, who is a clerk IN
Rupert & Co.'s dry goods store, and
who stands at the counter beside
James Stark, should have the same
weekly wages as he. 1t is the uni
versal custom to put more work and
heavier upon the men, and usually
the greater responsibility is laid on
them.
Moreover, 1t is a matter OF common
experience that men are less frequent
ly compelled by illness to be absent
from their work, and their power of
endurance is, in general, greater.
This is not all, for while it takes
one man to marry one woman, the
man usually continues at his employ
ment after marriage, while the woman
does not. 1t follows that a man, be-
ing more likely TO stay and to learn
the ms and outs of trade, is worth
more to an employer than a woman
who may marry and leave him at any
time.
1t follows also that in any employ
ment where men and women are at
work together, the average experience
Of the men is the greater.

BRAZIL.

Our neighbor, Brazil, has had an
other revolution. When these South
American republics are not quarreling
with each other they are remodeling
their own government. Brazil had
just passed series of complimentary
resolutions on Dom Pedro when it re-
lieved the monotony by kicking him
out Of office. Now it has established
a dictatorship. These are the signs
Of an unquiet and restless people. In
private life such acts betoken a fever

by pulmonary disease. For all mala-
dies of this sort take REDS GERMAN

attack the throat and lungs that was

edy is perfectly safe, and can be given
