How Jim Puzzled the School-Master.

James Mcpherson was q boy of some
intelligence, with father an ardent
protectionist, and an uncle an uncom-
promizing free trader of the Manches-
ter school Naturally, as Jim's father
and uncle lived in the same house, Jim
got a pretty fair idea of the stock argu-
ments on each side; but what he never
could make out was how labor benefit
ed by either policy. His father sternly
maintained that in protectionist coun-
try there were better wages, while his
uncle just as strongly maintained the
same in regard to free trade countries.
Now, Jim thought to himself, there
can't be such striking difference be-
tween them in any case, or there could
not be any necessity for such an end
less amount of argument about the sub
ject At any rate, he thought he would
ask the school-master; and one day
favorable opportunity occurred when
that gentleman was instructing Jim's
class regarding the value of population.

said the school-master. represents

nifty as whole, OF many pounds, and
adds to its total wealth"
'.Who gets the wealth, sir?" asked
Jim.

prise at boy who took an interest in
economic questions which, as a general
rule, did not interest his pupils. THE

their industry and frugality deserve

"Have you much wealth." said Jim,
looking into the face of his master, who
the whole neighborhood knew wa. .
model of industry and frugality.
A troubled look passed over the face
of the school-master as he replied, My

The Secret OF True Recreation.

Minds, like other measures of capaci-
~, when they are full can not be any
fuller of that which they are full OF.
One more drop of water will cause the
brimful glass to overflow. But that
same brimful glass may have packed
into it more than its bulk of loose raw
cotton without splitting the water.
Similarly. one may have his mind so
full of one flow of thought, or care,
that one drop more would be disas-
trous; but wholly different kind OF
thought can, like the raw cotton, be
packed into it without seemingly make
it any fuller. This is one of the secrets
of accomplishment 1t includes the
secret of time reareation--Detroit Free

A new surprise awaited US. One
morning we beheld upon our lawn a

/ The plants-but nobody cares what
| plants do" says Mr.. Grant Alien in one
, OF his most recent papers. Who ever
! takes the trouble to remember, as he
| eats his tomato msyonnaise, that the
| pleasant acid flavor and the attractive
! crimson cOlorin9 of the chief ingredient
| of his salad are the lures which nature
gave the herb to attract animals more
| or less voracious than himself and in
| duce them to spread about the seeds
| and help the tomato plant to increase
and multiply and another year to bring
forth fruit after its kind.
Or, if the loiterer at Delmonco's
| make so much of q reflection between
his courses, he will hardly extend il SO
far as to compare the eggplant which
graceS another place on the bill of fare
with the tomatoe he has already eaten.
If he did, and could persuade the
waiter to bring him in one of each I'M
cooked he would find much of like
ness between them.
Each is true berry, soft and full of
seeds. Each has a peculiar and pro-
nounced flavor and an attractive out
side colOring-the crimson of the to-
| mato being replaced by ivory-whitc. or
deep purple or violet in the eggplant.
But long before these observations had
been made doubtless the sanity of
the inquisitive guest would have been
questioned by the proprietor and prob

In a reported increase of land values
in Baltimore, the Boston journal dis
covers cause for eongratulating the in
habitants of that city as ''sharers in the
general prosperity that has existed dur
ing the present republican aeministra-
tion." Apparently, the Journal sup
poses that the value Of land is actual
wealth. So it is, potentially, to the
owners of the land; but, when it is re-
membered that every dollar which land
owners receive is dollar taken with
out consideration from some one else, 1t
becomes clear that land value In not
wealth to those who yield it up. 1t is
wealth as slave values were wealth.
What the slave owners got, the slaves
lost: what the land owners get, the
landless lose. Land value is not merely
kind of wealth in which all do not
share; like lottery prizes, it is q kind
which is supplied principally by people
who get no share at all The Boston
Journal should confine it's congratula-
tons to those inhabitants of Baltimore
who are enriched by the increase OF
baltimore land values. 1t must be irrl-

Cause Of Poverty in Berlin.

s. NJ. Burroughs writes from Berlin.
You are quite right in understanding
that the chief cause of the poverty
among the workers here is land mon
opoly caused by the exemption of land
values from taxation, which enables
landowners to levy large tribute upon
users of land. Let me cite but one in
stance as an example of what is going
on here. A piece of land which was
bought three years ago for $4,000
marks has recently been sold for $780,
coo marks Berlin in the business
center resembles Chicago greatly in the
elegance of its shops and the regularity
of its streets, therefore it was a matter
of surprise to learn that the cost of the
land was in almost every case greater
than the cost of the building. On va
cant land there is no tax at all. Ber-
lin is a paradise for the ground land
lord, but hell for the poor workers
who, after they have paid ground
rent, have not enough left to live upon.
