patronizes Chinese laundries, restaurants or any store where Chinese are employed. The State convention of the Knights of
 Labor resolved to support no city for State capital whose citizens employed Chi nese or patronized them in any way. The
 city council of Helena has passed resolu-
 tions setting forth the evils of Chinese i'm
 migration, and Governor Toole is urging
 the federal government to take steps to
 better protect the frontier against the
 smuggling of Chinamen. He says there is an organized gang engaged in the business of smuggling Chinamen across the line.
 A fair bit. Chicago's enterprise in rais- ing the wherewithal to push the prelimi- naries of her big fair reminds MT. Pierpont Morgan of something that happened in another enterprising western city some time ago. A church building there, cost ing about $5O,O00, was destroyed by fire one night, and while the ruins were still burning a meeting of the church society was called, and it was voted to rebuild the church and to put up one costing s150, 900. The resolution was printed in the newspa- pers the next morning, and heralded as a notable example of the indomitable pluck of the West. The newspapers did not print another resolution, which was also passed, to the effect that three members, with the pastor, would be authorized to go to New York, Philadelphia and Boston to e. G. x1a L,-,l this new s150, ,000 church.
 It is said there is an abundance of alum inium to be found in Kentucky, in fact, that it underlies all the Blue Grass region, but the price of the pure metal still re- mains high in the United States. One dealer says: "You hear that the price of aluminium has fallen to 50 cents or % cents, or even 1S-for believe that that is buying it continually, and know that we cannot obtain 1t 9S per cent. pure for less than s1.50 per pound. You can get grade that is low in the 90's for about s1, but it is not good for much to handle" The reason for the high price, he says, is that to EcouCo tuo hcthl 1Ccldlu Icluspdt is indispensable, and this is an expen- sive article. Much has been said of the desirable use of aluminium in the build ing of ships, because of its lightness. The authority quoted says that this is the sheer est nonsense, as pure aluminium breaks iu contact with wood, and a floating log would be sufficient to send a vessel made of aluminium to the bottom. The best re suits have been obtained from the use of aluminium alloys with steel and other met als, and the maximum satisfaction is given when 15 per cent. of the alloy is al- uminium. A steel horizontal bar will sup port more than an aluminium bar of the same dimensions, but an alloy of steel and aluminium will answer the purpose better than the steel. The two great problems then are, now to produce the metal cheap ly, and how to weld it.

The Use of Tools by Animals

 The ability to use toels and to wield weapons, which Pranu derives from the possession of time-sense, is not exclusively human. Ants build bridges with splinters of wood, small pebbles, grains of sand, ,and other available materials, and tunnel small streamss and their skill in perforning such feats of engineering and in meeting any emergencies that may arise is almost in- credible; but the testimony of Bates and Bar and other naturalists leaves no doubt as to the reality of these achievements. They also make @ clever and effective use of implements in capturing and killing the ferocious sand hornet, which they siege by the legs and fasten to the ground by means of sticks and stones. and then devour at their leisure Here we have an unmistak- able instance of the use of instruments for the accomplishment of particular pur-

LABOR IN RUSSIA.

The British embassy in St. Petersburg has been making a study of labor in Rus sia. It appears that trades unions are un- known in the land of the Czar, and that anything like strike for increase of wages is prohibited strictly by law. When a workman is hired, the details of the agree ment are entered in book kept by him. In the majority of factories the piecework system is adopted, and it is only in few cases that wages are paid by the day. Payment must be in money. In large manufacturing establishments the men are generally lodged and boarded, sometimes free of expense, sometimes at a small charge. The general condition of these lodgings is described as unsatisfactory, as might be expected. Wages are extremely low. A Russian economist has calculated that, while an English cotton-spinner working ten hours day earns 70 rubles a month, the Russian cotton-spinner work ing twelve hours day only earns 19t rubles. Until recently there was no regu- lar time of payment in most factories, but the law now provides for regularity of payment within periods of not more than a month. Moreover, fixed portion of a workman's wages is free from all liability for his debts. There is no law restricting the hours of adult labor, which vary from six to twenty hours in the same industries and even in the same districts. In the large majority of cases, however, the hours of labor are twelve or under, and it is said that, taken all round, twelve hours may fairly be assumed to be the normal work ing day in Russia. There is no legal pro vision as to Sunday labor, but as a rule there is no work on Sundays or on about twenty-eight holidays during the year, making eighty days off in all. Factory in spection exists, but does not amount to much.
 A workman who must work for anything he can get and can't even strike must feel rather cramped.

THE RECORD OF PAUPERS,

THE nECORD OF FAOFEASs Some of the census bulletins are decid- edly interesting. For instance, the one which deals with the paupers of the coun- try. This bulletin classiies the inmates of almshouses in 1890 by age and sex. It shows that out of a total of 73,045 in mates, 40, 731 were males and 32 ,304 were females. No less than 68 males and SS females are returned at 100 years of age and over. This gives total of 156 cente- narians, or a fraction over two in every 1000 inmates. Applying the same ratio
 to the entire population we would have 126, ,000 centensriaas in the country. The whole number eighty years of age and up- ward is stated at 5, ,7ss, of whom 3, ,30s werc males and 2,390 were females. This gives about 79.3 in every 1000 inmates past the eighty-year limit. Applying the same ratio to the entire population we would have nearly 5,000,0O0, or, to be exact, 4,995, 900 of the age of eighty years or more in the country; or, roughly stated,
 about one in every thirteen of the people would be of that ripe old age.
 As the second question, the returns show that between the ages of twenty and fifty the number of female inmates slightly exceeds that of male inmates, and it is only when we come to those 100 years old or more that we find a marked preponderance of females. An interest ing fact disclosed by the tables is that the number of female inmates is greatest be- tween the ages of forty and sixty years, while the number of male inmates is greatest between the ages of sixty and eighty. The number of males from sixty to eighty was 14,e5s, while the number from forty to sixty was 10, ,481 only. The number of females from forty to sixty was 9,473, while the number from sixty to eighty was S,933 only.
 MT. Porter has a good deal of doubt about the trustworthiness of the figures for ages over one hundred. It is not at all probable that there are 126, 900 cen tenarians in this country, or even 126.

 There are some queer things. An inex- plicable habit in church at Vaisbol has at last been explained. When the men went then returned to the body of the church each made genufection in the direction of the women, always on the same spot No one for long while had known why this was done. Lately one of the walls was being cleaned, and @ picture of the Virgin was discovered which had been covered up for four hundred years by the whitewash.

Stamping out Hog choIera.
D.. m.


Now that pleuro-pneumonia in cat
lie is stamped out III United States,
would it not be well TO turn more
FULLY to the work of stamping out hog
cholera, it is asked? The government
has been very successful in the first,
and now that the cattle plague is era
dicatated. more time and attention
can probably be given to the fatal
swine disease. 1t is true, that the
government has been at work several
yeas to find means to eradicate, or nit
igate the swine disease, and has made
considerable advance toward q knowl-
edge of the disease and its origin.
One thing about it seems not to be so
well settled as that OF pleuro-pneu-
monia, viz: the origen of the germ of
hog cholera. II seems to be well set
tied that, with the cattle disease once
stamped out, it cannot again prevail
here unless introduced from abroad,
where it still exists. This is not SO
plain as to the hog cholera. If this
was known to be the condition of its
prevalence in this country, the work
of Graduating it could be put on more
certain and definite lines. But the
disease SENS to appear simultaneously
wide distances apart, and without coll
tact with diseased animals.
One thing seems to be well settled
that contact with diseased hogs Is
pretty sure to produce il in others, AID
that isolation should be carefully
practiced and that cacasses be burned
when they die with it. Like the
human organisms, that of swine is
more susceptible and likely to take
the disease when the functions are not
in healthy conditions. All experience
and observation have taught that the
disease prevails and is most fatal only
during the season of feeding of dry
corn and other concentrated foods,
and when cleaning the wheat stubble,
without succulent food to aid the d.
gestive functions, and therefore when
there is greater tendency to constipa.
ton.
Until hogs are fed more nationally,
and the succulent ration maintained
with the dry corn food at fattening,
the probability is that the hog cholera
will prevail. We think that the pres
ent maner of feeding invites it. That
the germ OF the disease nearly always
present is manifested by putting the
animal in such condition as makes
him yield ready victim to it.-lIn

The Gazette, had it been sincere in
its utterances on the Force Bill, could
have covered itself all over withhonors.
Its editor could have recanted aud
come out like al man. But to say that
nothing had appeared in its columns
favoring the bill was against its rec
ords and the recollections of tits read
ers, and. to-day, instead of standing on
a high plane of journalism, he has sac
riiced his dignity and proved himself
a weak brother.
More than this would have been re-
quired, however. To have recanted
and then stood squarely on the Re-
publican platform would have been
taking back what had been said, and
renewing his former position; SO, after
all, it would have been better had tina,
