WEALTH HERE AND ABROAD.

The English and the Americans arc
both rich, but which are the richerp
Perhaps the statisticians know or can

statistical answer would give the infor-
nation that one really wants and which
involves the distribution Of wealth as
well as its mere existence. Most Amer

known, q considerable proportion of
English people toll not nor spin. and
make no pretense Of doing anything tor

are richer than we, or is il a matter Of
taste or result of primogeniture? So
also IL appcars-from close study Of
documents submitted by Anthony Troll

rians--that British gentlemen in re-
spectacle circumstances employ from

PULLMAN AND BELLAMY.

The Commission appointed by the Pres

ises 20 find out not ony all about the
Pullman strike, but all about everything
| else 1t has permitted itself to listen
| to the Views, theories and suggestions
| of the most eminent political economists.
sociologists and savants of Chicago, and
II is needless to say that these experts
have contributed information with a
kindness which knows no bounds II the
Commission can only remain In session
three or four thousand years 1t will have
a chance OF kno wing as much about the
Pullman strike and other things as Is
known by the Chicago philosophers
without waiting for the full evidence
which is to be expected when the philos-
ophers have finished talking we may in
terject a suggestion that the expert who
proposed Bellamysm as n remedy for
Pullmanlsm was of his base.
Pullman's town is not exactly Bella
my's town, but 1t Is as near an approach
to 1t as the world has ever seen or is
ever likely to see. The main difference be-
tween them consists chiefly in that wide
margin which always divides theory
from practice, and contrasts the hard
facts OF real life with the pleasant WIS.,
ions of dreamland.
The spectacle of a grave Commission
representing the authority of the Gov
eminent OF the United States, soberly
listening to a Chicago philosopher who
suggests the adoption of Bellamyism as
remedy for Pulmanism turns sad
story into "a cause Of innocent merri-
ment," and relieves us OF all apprehen-
sion as to any harsh feeling growing out
Of the investigation. The worst that
can come from 1t will be a new comic
opera.

Professional cooks have cures for bad
compilations that cure, which is more
than can be said for the professional
complexion restorers. The point to be
borne in mind is this If the digestion is
all right the complexion will be about
the same. People who have work to do
and duties to perform must eat, but in
the round OF vacation and recreation It
Is a capital Idea to change the diet. or
better still, give the organs an occa-
sional day OF. Instead of a feast make
fast Of SUNDAY. Get back to the reg
ular diet by degrees-breakfast on bread
and milk. lunch on vegetable soup or a
soft egg. have milk and cinnamon at 4
o'clock and dine on beef tea and black
toast. These are highly nutritious arti-
Giles and may be made very agreeable.
They will comfort the stomach and the
complexion will proclaim the fact.

his features were exposed to view.
The child's face looked like that of a
dead person. 1t was emaciated and the
white skin lay in folds over the small
bones on the face. The body was also
covered with loose flesh.

saw no one there but an old woman.
At first she denied there was child
there, but In few moments she went
over to corner Of the room and
picked up the baby and held 1t up by the
legs. He ordered her to procure medi-
cal attention at once. This order was
not needed.

Keep the head clean. cool and bare az

tissue and very unpleasant to have
about. 1t Is the easiest thing in the
world to get rid OF 1t. Soap, warm
water and hair brushes are sure cures.
There is nothing like cleanliness to
make the hair grow. II there is not
enough oil in the scalp to nourish the
tresses, supply the deficiency. Castor
