Some Political Economy.

Mr.. Charles w. Shields laments that
the popular mind is still in the shackles
Of the old fashioned political economy,
the self same principles that were taught
hundred years ago Social and eco
nomic conditions have changed so since
then that set of teachings is demand
ed to meet the needs of the present, Mr..
Shields says. There is enough intelli-
gence spread abroad among the people,
but not enough training in right think
ing. By intelligence" Mr.. Shields evi
IDENTIFY means knowledge of polite
economy as taught in the old textbook.
and elsewhere, but that is not inteli
gence, far from it.
He is right about the need of thinking
solid, hard headed thinking on the great
economic questions, aided by such
knowledge as the conditions of the pres
ent can give us. Mr.. Shields thinks that
such principles as the following should
now he discussed by students:
That the exports of any country will In the
long run approximately balance the imports.
That no raising of wages is of permanent
benefit to the masses unless accompanied by
an increase in the production of things for the
masses to eat, drink and wear.
That every increase in the production Of
those necessaries of life which the masses find
it hard to obtain makes their command easier
to some and places them within the reach of
others, while every cause which has the effect
of diminishing such production will compel
some class to go with less of them than they
would otherwise enjoy.
That the value Of every industry is to be
measured not by the employment it gives to
labor, but by the usefulness of its product; in
fact, that the employment shows the cost of
the industry, not its utility.
That the employment of the unemployed at
the public expense would be of no permanent
benefit unless the result of their labor could
be sold for at least its cost.
That there is plenty of employment for every
body If men only had the wages to pay them,
so that what is called want of work really
means want of money to pay for the work.
That the lower the wages demanded in any
employment the greater the number of people
who can find employment at those wages, and
the higher the wages demanded the less the
number.
That prices are determined in the general
average and the long run, by the quantity Of
any article produced and the demand of the
| public for 1t; that any attempt to artifcially
raise the price of any service whatever above
the limit thus fixed will result in diminished
consumption, and hence in diminished pro-
duction-in other words, that you cannot get
the public to accept more than a certain guam
tity Of service or goods at any definite price.
That there is no possibility of general in
crease in the demand for labor except by
| measures which would speedily neutralize
their own effects, and that attempts to pro-
| mote or encourage one branch Of industry by
making 1t more necessary only result in an
equal encouragement to other branches

us except through bringing to our shores the
products of other nations which we wish to

The Kanirs Thought 1t n Joke.

I once took some Kaffirs from their
desolate island home in the Himalayan
gorges beyond the mountain ranges to
the more civilized south. Like most
savages, they looked with stupid indif-
ference at the marvels about them, and
once only were they excited by an Incl
dent which opened their eyes to what
they considered a most extraordinary
and unnatural state of things.
They We're descending a road when
one of them Glanced to remark that he
was hungry, and the English "sahib"
bought him some food at wayside
shop. The Kaffir saw the money change
hands.
"How is this?' he inquired in sur
prise. "Do you have to pay for food in
this country?'
Certainly"
"What country!" cried the man in
amazement. Then after bordering
awhile he continued doubtfully: "Sup-
pose man had no money in this coun-
try. He might starve9"
SIT is quite possible"
The KaSir shook with uncomfortable
laughter. 1t was the best joke he had
ever heard. He then explained the ridic-
ulous system to his companions, and they
roared in chorus.-"Where Three EN-
pires Meet"

The Development of the Girl.

ing and tossing her head as though she
owned the earth and was going to the
middle of the next block to get it. After
she is 18 the world she owns is about as
far away as the Worlds fair is to most
of us, and at 20 she gives up all hope If
getting it at all. By the time she is %,
poor thing, she has faint, vague sus.
picion that there is great deal of insin-
certify in the world, and the thing for
her to do is to get position and do
something useful. After awhile she gets
married to man who is not at all the
sort of man she dreamed of. Then she
concludes she would be better off in

So. Londonderry, Vermont.

Kerosene salvation.
Mr.. Edward Atkinson pins his faith
to coal oil. What it cannot do toward
alleviating the sufferings of the poor
may well BIO left out altogether. Mr..
Atkinson's latest exploit is the invention
and Of course the attendant description
in the newspapers of cooking table,
whereby with the aid of a kerosene lamp
any boy who never saw a range or bake
pan may prepare the most delicious and
ippetizing food at u cost Of 81 week.
Mr.. Atkinson recommends his idea as
specific against hard times.
You get sheet of galvanized iron
with q inch hole in the middle.
Mount tho sheet upon legs Q feet high.
There is your cooking table. Put under
it a kerosene lamp, light it, and, presto!
in hours you can turn the toughest old
hen in the market into the most deli
cious fricasseed chicken that ever graced
q millionaire's board. You must cut
up the old hen and put her into
vegetable dish along with such season.
Ing as you desire. Set a piece of tile
or earthenware over the hole, put upon
that brick, and upon the brick put the
vegetable dish containing the old hen.
Cover the dish first with stone jar or
crock; cover the jar again with wood
en- pail. This is to keep the heat in.
In like manner You can take the most
desperate old steers shin and turn it in.
to beef stew that will make the mouth
water, all by the aid of kerosene. The
main thing is to get low heat for
long time. If your cooking pot or ves-
sci is large one, hoist an empty -four
barrel up side down over it to keep t
heat in. All depends Oh low heat ai,-
lied a long time and kept in. This is
very fine, all of it. Possibly, however,
the landlady who rents the little hall bed
room for weekly pittance to the lone
man might object to his bringing in a
-four barrel and cooking table. like
wise to the burning of kerosene lamp

Hereafter incoming vessels from Euro
pean ports to New York will be sig
nailed "a hours earlier than they have
been. This will be done by means of
the marine telephone invented by Pro-
fessor Lucius Blake of the Kansas state
university. At the Pollock's Rip light
house in Vineyard sound the Waterman
will perceive incoming steamers before
they can be observed from the mainland
By means Of the Blake marine telephone

1t was terrible and daring exploit,
the robbing of an express train in Indi-
ana by gang Of 20 masked scoundrels.
Such a thing could scarcely have hap
pened in any part of Europe. 1t shows
that this country of ours, even in its
thickly settled parts, is not yet beyond
the stage Of newness. The feat of the
highwaymen will furnish material for
dime novels for boys during the next
half dozen years. But 1t is to be hoped
that the romancers will be sure to add
the finale Of the adventure, which will
be this: Although the masked murder
Gus villains got away at the time, they
will in the long run be caught and
brought to justice. Robbers, even the
most daring and romantic, come to

An Impressive Scene.

Never perhaps was the brotherhood o.
man so near at hand. At any rate, nerel
before in the worlds history was posi-
BILE such meeting of men of all faiths
as that which lately came together in
the international congress of religions at
Chicago. Rev. Augusta Chaplin was not
far from right when she said that the
parliament of religions was the grandest
and most significant gathering that had
ever. assembled on this earth, for it ap-
pealed to all who wore the garb of hui
mainly. Cardinal Gibbons reminded the
congress that there was one platform on
which all the delegates were united, and
that was charity, humanity and benevo-
lence. A deeper truth still Protat Chun-
der Mazoomdar uttered when he told the
audience that the grandest religion was
that which united all religions.
Perhaps some day the artist shall rise
who can do justice in a great historic
painting to the scene upon the platform
at the opening. A Roman Catholic prel-
ate high in Office, wearing his priestly
robes, entered first of those taking their
places. He was escorted by an Ameri-
can business man, the president of the
worlds congress auxiliary. Then came
two beautiful women, and after them,
many being clad in their ceremonial
garments, entered the Buddhist, the
Protestant, the follower of Confucius,
the Jew and the adherent of the Scotch
kirk. One petition these people of every
nation and kindred and tongue could
unite in repeating, the Lords Prayer;
one song could thrill all their souls
alike with divine harmony, the majestic
"Praise God From Whom All Blessings
Flow"

Slcerii:. Car Arrangement.

A lady writes urging the introduction
of special sleeping cars for women on
which only women servants should be
employed. Theoretically this would un-
doubleday be desirable reform, which
men as well as women would favor,
since the usual mixed arrangements are
probably not agreeable either to men or
women. However, it is to be feared that
the plan is not practicable. From
woman's car of this sort conductors,
brakemen and all other men would have
