an electric light of three-candle power
and about as big as a grape. 1t is ad-
justed to the end of a rubber tube,
which in appearance resembles a lead
pencil, and through which the wires
reach the globe.
In demonstrating the properties of
this light before the Academy of Medi-
cine, DR.. Phillips called a small boy to
the platform and placed the instru-
ment in his mouth. The boy closed
his lips, all the lights were turned cut
and then the light in the instrument
was turned on.
Immediately the boys cheeks be-
came translucent, and every vein and
imperfection of the skin stood out
with distinctness. The light also shone
through the upper part of the face.
1.-THE beauty of this illuminator,"
said DR.. Phillips, 'lies in the fact that
it enables us t o read certain conditions
of the head which could only be learned
heretofore by operations or probings.
If the light shines through one side OF
the face and not the other, we know
the dark side is affected.
'It also throws a light through the

Keep Children at School.

What a pity that so many children
are taken out Of school just when they
are beginning to learn. Boys and girls
taken out Of school and cooped NY in
stores, shops and coal breakers are not
only mentally impoverished, but physi-
cally ruined, and that, too, for a mis-
cradle pittance. 1t is false economy to
make children earn their bread too
soon.
While at school the history, geogra-
ply, grammar, physiology and natural
philosophy they learn to constitute the
knowledge that will be their capital
when they enter ona business life. In
telligent workmen are cheaper at higher
wages than the uneducated at lower
wages.
Give your children the best possible
education. Even if they should not
live to profit by their education and
should disappoint your hopes, still, you
have the consciousness of having dis
charged your duty to them; of having
done all in your power to make them
what God intended they should be-
men and women.

A KetrOgrading state.

With an area nearly two and one-half
times as great as that of the state of
Pennsylvania, Nevada cast but O,695
votes at the last presidential election,
5000 less than it cast in the presidential
election of 1876. AS a state Nevada has
its representative in congress and its
two members of the United States sem
ate. Its 10000 voters have the same re-
presentation in the senate as the state of
Pennsylvania, with its million and more
of voters.
This sovereign" state was made out
of inadequate material, and since the
mining furry has subsided it has retro
graded in wealth and population. 1t can
never become an agricultural state, and
just what to do with it is problem.
There is a proposition to annex Utah to
Nevada, but the silver state refuses such
a companion.

The Case Should BE Retired.

We are not without hope that the
labor associations which have taken the
matter in hand will be able to secure a
new trial for Dempsey, the master work
man of the Knight of Labor, convicted
at Pittsburg of the attempt to procure
the poisoning of non-union laborers at
Homestead. The testimony of persons
who would permit themselves to be
used for such diabolical purpose is
worthless unless corroborated by repu-
table witnesses so as to preclude doubt.
Disdaining any reflection upon the ver-
dict of the jury, if there be possibility
of wiping out this stain upon the labor
unions by means of retrial, the effort
should be made.
The intrusion of Anarchist Bergman
into Homestead affairs by his attempt
upon the life of Mr.. Frick was terrible
blow to the strikers, though they dis
claimed any sympathy with his crime
or his methods. But Bergmann's act
was a reputable and courageous pro-
ceeding compared with that of which
Dempsep has been convited. If it be
possible to throw any new light upon
this hideous crime, let it be DONE

and Davidson or either, and accountable
for whatever they did in pursuance of his
instructions.

FREELAND, PA, JANUARY 26, 1898.


The United States government has a
gentleman named Edward Bedloe sta
toned as consul in one of the cities of
China, and in a recent issue Of Gold
thwaite's Geographical Magazine he is
credited with writing an article upon the
land question in that country, of which
the following is a portion:
The title to all real estate is vested in
the throne, not absolutely in its own
right, but as the legal head of the great
family-the Chinese nation. Land Is
inalienable. 1t cannot be bought or
sold. 1t is leased on long leases, for
what may be called a nominal rent to
the government and these leases can be
bought, sold, mortgaged and devised the
same as real property. But no matter
how the conveyance is wOrded, the
government can always exercise the
right of eminent domain and redeem the
land by paying its original value, plus
the actual value of improvements made
upon it. 1t is the Henry George system
carried out to its utmost.
The sentence stating that ''it is the
Henry George system carried out to its
utmost" is not correct. The rest of the
quotation is correct, and shows that
China has substantially the land system
of America. The Chinese system does
not in any way resemble the single tax
system. China has a multiplicity of
taxes, instead of the single tax, the
tax on land being light, while taxes on
trade are heavy.
The rent of land in China is high, and
goes to the landlords who have leased it
from the government. They may
charge any rent for it that they can get
from the tenants, and are not taxed for
it according to the value of the land, as
they would if the Henry George system
was carried out to its utmost. Tea lands,
for instance, rent for 500 an acre, and
these are often leased from the govern
ment at one-tenth of that figure. Labor
then, must pay this difference, and the
landlord and land speculator reaps in
idleness the bounty that should and
would go to the government under
Georges system.
The Chinese government retains the
right of eminent domain, and so does
every other country, but Mr.. Bedloe
does not appear to be aware of the fact,
or he would not place SO much emphasis
upon it. Before writing another article
upon the land question of any country
this consul might enlighten himself by
digesting the contents of a primer on
political economy.

MR.. BLAINE'S CONDITION.

The Grim Destroyer BraveIy Warded OF,
but Still Approaching.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-No encouraging
reports as to even temporary gaining of
strength have been received from Mr..
Blaine's physician or family and the i'm
preston is everywhere becoming more en-
phatic that each day now finds him in
some respects not so well as on the previous
day. Everything about the house appears
thus far the same as usual The dim light
in the sickroom, seen through the drawn
curtains, conveys no sign of anything be-
yond the ordinary vigil.
The physician visited his patient at 8
O'Clock and said there was no material
change. Mr. Blaine slept more than he
did week ago, but when awake he was
conscious. The doctor said he would not
return during the night unless called tor.
AS far as known there has been no change
in Mr.. Blaine's condition since the time of
the doctors visit at 8 o'clock and at o'clock
a m. all is quiet in the vicinity of the house
