The Springfield Republican advises the
Carnegie company to tear down the stock
ade about its works, cut the live electric
wires, smash the hot water pipes designed
to scald assailing strikers, and then invite
non-union men to come and work If it

would make the issue more sharp and
clear-which Is the maintenance by the
State of the inalienable right of every man,

The last in England of the monastic
tithebarns, the edi6ces in which the
medieval abbots were accustomed to
gather the tribute of those who owed them
rent and service, is in process of demoli
ton. 1t is the survivor of the two that
were built at Peterborough, and dates back
to 1907. 1t is long and narrow structure
with low walls and a massive oak frame
supporting singularly beautiful roof of
gray stone states. There is not a nail in
the building, stout wooden pegs being used
throughout. The historic edfce was
bought by builder for S., 500, and vain

J. B. Rumford, of Los Gatos, Califor-
mia, has originated a new system of living
which he calls the Edenio system. He
eats nothing but raw wheat, consuming
about three-quarters of pound a day
Bread, butter, sugar, meat, eggs and milk
he regards as poisonous. He eats only
when he feels hungry, and appears to
thrive on his strange diet. At forty, he
says, he vas an old man, whereas now,
though sixty, he feels young. 81 can get
along" he adds, con one or two cents a
day and do a good days work. Five cents
worth of rolled oats has lasted me twenty
four hours while travelling. I could not
possibly eat more than 10 cents worth of
wheat day, 30 you can see how economi-
cal my system is." Mr.. Rumford also has
a theory about feeding horses, giving them
only one good meal a day just before bed
time.

1896 of them are in business for them
selves There are now 0,000 French
Canadians in the United States, half mill
lion of whom are in New England and
New York. The number of French Cana
dians in Canada is /, ZOO, 900, though when
England acquired Canada they numbered
only So, 900, fact which strikingly indi-
Gates the fecundity of the race. In Boston
they number nearly II 900, and in various
parts of New England they have flourish
ing schools and societies, and they now
talk of establishing college. They have
representatives in the legislatures Of five
States, and they have nine newspapers in
New England and New York.
