ton might be awaiting the result Of his
work Of the day, he got up, chased the
cab till he caught 1t and giving the cab
man over into the hands Of q policeman,
brushed off his clothes and continued on
bis way.
similar point is touched upon later in
the article. Upon IL Mr.. Barnum SAYS:
Free as the government Of England Is In
all essential particulars, it does not in
some respects carry freedom to reckless
ness as We do here. Its laws and regula-
tons for public safety are more strict than
ours. The English make human life and
It's preservation more serious and con-
slant concern than we do. In a public
nan the seats must not be too closely
packed, and the aisles and modes of
egress must be numerous and broad.
In thousand ways, in fact.
England takes pains that one mans
liberty shall not make another
mans Or the public's safety and comfort
suffer from his caprice o. greed. 1t is a
feature that We ought TO admire, and that
we must learn to copy before our popula-
ton becomes as dense as that of the Brit
ish Islands"
The article contains much that goes to
confirm this, and yet it is open to question
whether the life and social conditions
which give rise to it are not essentially
smaller and less worthy than that which
generates the haste which charac-
terizes American life, unseemly as
the haste may be. An American
does not resent the petty impositions of
the cabman and the tradesman, because
the content of his life is too full-he counts
the cost of waging petty battle against
that of neglecting his business meanwhile
and acts accordingly, preferring to over
look the imposition, that his hands may
nothing, it might be a satisfaction to see
the Daniels brought to judgment; but life is
too short for busy man to put his time
against that of nobody in a contest
in which little or nothing Is TO
be gained. The Englishman's ideal
life is made up of days in which nothing
ruffies his temper from the time that he
sits down to his eggs and bacon, toast and
Times at breakfast till he blows out the
candle of his forefathers at night; while
the American submits to a dozen petty
tyrannies through the day and is content
TO lie down for an insufficient rest If the
work of the day and the promise of the
morrow seem favorable. The latter GER
tainly seems the more virile type.

A TELLING INCIDENT.

An extraordinary scene occurred in a
Baptist church in Cincinnati on Sunday.
May "a Reverend J, y. Fulton, who was
in the city as delegate to the American
Baptist Home Missionary Society,
preached a sermon on the hold the Roman
Catholic church has upon Quebec, and in
cidentally referred to the existing troubles
between the United States and Italy, in
which connection he commended the
course of our secretary of state, and with
some feeling declared, 'Mr. Blaine is the
schoolmaster of the world"
Thereupon in that staid assemblage was
witnessed the unprecedented spectacle of
a wild outburst of applause-cheering and
hand-clapping which could not be sup
pressed for several seconds. The Cincin-
natl Enquirer, in reporting the incident,
says: "Some of the old, staid members
looked at each other in utter astonish.
ment, and the visiting preacher himself
seemed nonplussed for the moment"
This proves that even in the most circum-
spect of religious congregations it is un-
safe TO turn on a galvsnic current and ex-
pect that people Will not Jump.

by the agricultural chemist the following
results have been realized in France: In
1882 the average yield per hectare--
about acres-was about 3, $50 pounds. In
1855 the average yield was 5,l64 pounds,
an increase of over "a per cent In 1890
the average yield per hectare had reached
$3.50 pounds, an increase Of over 80 per
cent. above 1915, and of nearly 80 per
cent. above the average yield in 1882.
These contributions of chemical science
to the welfare of the farmer and the pub
lie have been ably seconded by the invent
ors and other scientific investigators, in
the improvement of machinery and manu-
featuring methods. As results of these
agencies the amount of beet root required
to produce one ton of sugar has
been reduced from 81, 461 pounds
IN 1882 to 1914 pounds in
1s89-9o, or fully one-half. Thus pri-
marty the farmers, but ultimately the
general public, have been indebted to
science for doubling of the sugar-produc-
ing quality of the beet and reduction Of
one-half in the amount of root required to
produce ton of sugar, which should, and
in fact has reduced the cost of this neces-
sary of life to the full extent of rs per cent.
That is to say, thanks to science. sugar

as much as in 1881.

lists They are the advance guard of high.

BARNuM's NOTES ON ENGLAND.

A posthumous article from p. T. Bar
uum, whose fame as an anecdotal philoso-
pher is widespread, appears in the current
number of the North American Rerie,r, the
subject matter being some notes upon the
English character made during his last
trip abroad. What he has to say is of
especial value. since his powers of ohserva-
ton were unusually acute. and the favor
with which he was looked upon by all
aliases in Great Britain gained him the
hest possible opportunity for the study Of
English life.
The conclusion at which he seemed TO
have arrived was that the typical English
man is a worthy and somew hat slow going
individual with a supreme regard for his
own rights and comfort. He says of the
class: ssThey have some ideas that seem
curiously absurd TO us. They do certain
things because they always did do them,
and can't conceive of any better way to
accomplish the results aimed at. But they
have strong and positive character; per-
haps all the stronger on account of their
tenacity TO old customs. They stand
mn for their rights as We Americans do
not. II anything goes wrong they strug-
gle and contest points until justice is done
and wrong is righted." Gladstone's en-
counter with the cahman last winter is n
case in point. He was run down by cab

Of speed. Regardless of the fact that a ma

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

The report of the doings of the Chamber
of Commerce in the year just ended shows
that important material benefits have re-
suited from the efforts of that body. While
many of the items in the secretary's list
relate to trifing matters, there are few
that have been vital in their relation to
the interests and standing of the city.
For example. the efforts of the Chamber
secured revision of the original deficient
census report, and if in the whole year the
Chamber had not done another thing, the
money spent in its maintenance would for
this one paramount accomplishment have
been well spent. Only a little less inn
portant were the concessions secured from
transportation companies, and it is
reasonable to assume that without such
pressure as the Chamber was able to en-
ploy, they would not have been gained.
These are, perhaps, the most important
accomplishments of the year, but in many
minor ways the Chamber has done good
work for the city and state. incidentally
it has been a social convenience to many
people, both residents and visitors, though
it is not clearly evident that the club
feature is a help in the proper work of the
organization.
In one OF the important purposes of the
late reorganization the Chamber has failed.
1t was intended that il should be an active
compiler of facts and figures relating TO
the business activities Of the state-that IL
should. in fact be the center of commercial
and industrial information. This design
has not been carried out, and il presents
itself as an important and urgent consid-
Grafton TO the new administration.
The new board of trustees met yesterday
and their first act was the wise one of
electing Mr.. Jacob Furih TO the presi-
dency. Mr.. Furth is prominently the
man for the place. 1t is only natural and
proper that the man whom all acknowi-
edge TO be leader in the business affairs
of the city should sit in the executive chair
of its chief commercial organization.
There will come times when the Cham

the prime factor in great affairs, and il is
an incalculable advantage to have as its
president gentleman whose resources of
business skill, profound sense, personal
responsibility and public standing will
give respect and force to its judgments
and recon- mendations. The election of
Mr.. Furth is. in effect. an assurance to the
public that the Chamber of Commerce is to
widen the range of its activities and to
take on a new dignity and an enlarged

ON AMERICAN
INVESTMENTS.

The Duke of Marlborough, who by we'd
ding the widow Hammersley has become
somewhat Americanized. has been writing
for the Fortnightiy Review on English in
vestments in this country. He advises
against investments in our railways, on
the ground that american management
is untrustworthy, an opinion which
many Americans share as to the manage
ment at least of some railways.
In respect TO other speculative invest
ments, such as breweries, stockyards and
the like, he thinks they are Every fine
things when controlled by Americans pos
sessed of large interests in them;" but
latter all, (" he says, you are really buying
only good will, a four-walled factory and a
lot of beer barrels" All of which goes to
show that the ducal eye has been wide
open and the ducal mind swayed by the
usual conservatism of his race.
But this is still further and more en-
to the safety and perfect security of real
estate investments in this country, on
which point he expatiates as follows:
You have an Anglo-Saxon race of 100000 Of
people, who work like beavers, developing your
property and adding to its value every day If
you own real estate investments. and this is far
better property than Buenos Ayres water-works
and Argentine Great Western, or even Buenos
Ayres and Rosario or Great Southern rails, where
there is nothing in the way of population, ex-
cept few million slowgoing Spaniards or
Italians
That such advice from such quarter
must have an immediate and great effect
far beyond the confines of this republic or
of England is hardly problematicaI. All
the world will be wanting to buy Ameri-
can realty.
