TO pay TO redeem Cne DOuuS.
Some very interesting statistics
have been presented to the New
York State Legislature by Commits
sioner Bowling, of the Bureau of
Statistics of Labor, who began an
investigation during last December
in regard to the effects Of hard
times on manufacturers and their
working forces. In reply to the
circular let ter sent out the commits
sioner received replies from 2,011
manufacturing concerns in "a gen.
eral industries to the folio wing
questions contained in the let
ter of inquiry: did the recent
and present hard times cause sus-
pension in your manufacturing es-
adjustment, and if so, has your
workshop been closed entirely or
partially?" Of the number re-
spending, 47O-or twenty-three per
cent-stated that they had not been
affected by the business depression
and consequently did not cease OPP
erations in their workshops, en-
ploylng their usual working force
on full time. Fifteen hundred aud
forty-one manufacturers reported
that they were affected by the hard
times, 1919 declaring that their
works had been entirely closed.
Ten hundred and eighty-seven es-
adjustments were partially closed,
while 265 manufactures were closed
both partially or entirely, that is
they were totally shut down for a
time, then partially opened with re-
duced labor force or on short work.
ing time or vice versa.
In response to the question,
"Was there any reduction in wages
on account of the business de-
preston, and if so, what percent
age?" 494 establishments reported
they had reduced wages, while 1 ,460
replied they had not, and 6fty-seven
failed to answer. Replying to the
question, AT the time your works
closed, did you have orders ahead
sufficient to keep them running,
provided the banks would render
you the usual discounts and assist
ancep" 1886 reported they were
deficient in orders ahead, which ne
cessitated the closing of their man
ufactories, either partially or total
ly, while ninety-two inform the
bureau that they had no orders ahead,
that the banks were willing to rem
der them the usual discounts and
assistance, but they nevertheless
closed their workshops. Eighty
seven manufacturers reported that
they had no orders ahead, but the
banks were willing to assist them,
and fifty-fve manufacturers stated
that the banks refused to assist
them. Under the head of "Re-
marks" some of manufacturers at
tribute the business trouble to un-
certainty about the tariff, the pre-
vailing idea being the question
SHOULD be settled one way or the
other" as many of them express it,
and that when it is so settled, man
ufacturers will know just what to
do in order to conform to the con-
ditions imposed by the law, and
will arrange their business accord
ingly. Some assert that the pas
sage Of the proposed bill will oblige
them to reduce wages, while others
hold an entirely different opinion.
On the other hand, some declare
that in their opinion the tariff has
little or nothing to do with bust
ness depression that is effecting the
civilized countries of the world, and
that the chief factor in the trouble
is too many goods in the market"
or, in other words, "overproduc-
tion ."-Paner Trade.

A Florida CONGRESSMAN Springs "a WASH

The following story is told by tho
Washington Times on oroof the Florida

The gentleman i'll question was called
ON the other day Ut his hotel by Il dele

The Florida Statesman was rather
dismayed by the delegation and didn't
know just what to do with them, but
after a pause lie blurtCd out rather
sharply:
Look herel OF course you know !

would down i'll Florida. They have a
thing they call etiquette up here, and
it's the proper thing to send up your
card before you como to a gentleman's
room."
"All right" said the leader, who
took the matter more seriously than
was intended. "We'll GO down stairs
and send up on cards."
Before the congressman could recover
from his surprise the whole delegation
filed out Of the room without another
word, and a few minutes later a porter
brought up "a batch of cards.
The congressman reflected a moment.
"Tcll them I'm out, was his answer.
The delegation has not been heard of
since, but it is rumored that they have
purchased books on etiquette ito learn

Talleyrand, like most diplomats. was ia
nous for his attention to the details of eti-
quette. He prided himself ON an ability
to adjust his mode OF address to the rank
and position of the person to whom he
was speaking.
On one secession, when a number OF dis
tinguished men were dining with him, ho
varied his formula when inviting them to
partake of beef in such a manner as to suit
the rank of the respective persons.

royal %highness a little beeff' he asked "a
prince of tho blood.

"Viscount, pray have a little beef"
Baron, do you take beefs' ran the next
Interrogation.
Monsieur, " he said to an untitled GEN
tleman, ''some beef"
To his secretary he remarked casually,
Beef"
But there was one gentleman left who
deserved even less consideration than the
secretary, and Talleyrand, posing his
knife in the air, favored him with u mere
look of Interrogation. If this guest was
possessed of an independent spirit, one can
imagine that he did not take beef that
day. -Life's Calendar.

THE CIGARETTE VICE

The use of cigarettes, says Hurper's Weekly,
is not merely the use of tobacco, it is a vice
by itself. In "eformatores where the cure Of
the opium, alchol, and c!aret e habits is
business, cigarette patients are not restricted
from smoking cigars or pipes, which are r
garded as comparatively harn.l ss. The
cigarette works special evil of its own which
tobacco in other forms does not effect. This
evil result may be due to drugs. or to the
paper wrappers or to the fact that the smoke
of cigarettes is almost always inhaled into
the lungs, while cigar smoke is not. As to
that let the eXpet t, decide about the fact of
the effect there is no doubt and no dearth of
evidence. No other form OF tobacco eats into
the will as cigarettes do. The adult man can
carry off a good deal of pc ison of one kind or
another without disaster, and his duty being
