tails Percentage Increastng-A census
Secret Let Out-The Different Methods
of 1880 and 1890.
An investigation of the wage ques-
ton is in contemplation by the census
committee of the United States senate.
Frederick C. Waite, the statistical ex-
pert of the department of agriculture,
has been making an exhaustive study
of the census returns on wages Id
preparation for this senate investlga-
ton.
OF the questions which confront the Amer
lean statistician and statesman" he says
there is one which towers above all the rest
in Importance. 1t is the wage question. AS
for the great mass Of working women, with the
age of marriage increasing and their style OF
living rising. there is a necessity for q rise In
wages sufficient to insure their independ-
ence. For this and many other reasons, TOO
well known to need mentioning in this year OF
widespread distress, the question OF wages IS
the one great question Of our time. Upon 1t
depends nearly oil legislation, and upon a IA
vorable answer depends our hope for widening
the influence Of Christianity and the perpetuity
of our institutions.
The question is not simply as to whether
laborers are receiving more dollars than FORM
erly. It is q double question. First, does
labor receive q larger or q smaller share OF the
product? And. second. does labor receive more
Of the necessaries and comforts Of life than
formerly:
The following table,, which shows what per-
centage of the manufactured products goes TO
labor as wages, tells the story as to whetner
his share is increasing or decreasing.

three industries are left out for the follow
ing reasons: Lumber, sawed, because In edit-
ing the schedules the amount of wages was
often cut down to one-half or even less;
woolens. because OF the great reduction in the
cost OF raw wool; and leather, because In 1870
and in 1890 the product was counted both when
curried and again when tanned, although there
were no publications in the amount of wages.
Whether We look at the figures in the first or
second column, we are impressed bv the fact
that in 1880 labor was receiving a much smaller
share Of the product than in 1850. The increase
in the first column from Is to 20 per cent, IN
1890, was due chiefly to the very much fuller re-
turns of the hand trades in 1890 than In lseo.
That labor received even less in 1890 than IN
1885 is made clear in the next table, wnlcn
shows what percentage Of the produced value
OF net product = goes to the laborers as wages
and what percentage to the capitalist as q re-
turn for his investment and pay for superin-
tendence.

As a Doctor Does.

The one great fault with all Liver Pills is that they act sud denly and sharply instead of quietly and continuously. They produce q violent relief and then leave you weakened, with all empty stomach and no appetite for food This is not what q doctor dces.
 Every physician presctibes a powerful remedy for disoedeiea ivef, but he then orders also q strengthening tonic, which acts as q purifier, restoring the appetite tonng up the system and making you feel like new creature.
 This IS exactly what is done by Ramon's Tos7ic Liver Pills and 2anon's Foslic Pellets. Two boxes, two separate tnedi- cines, aid both at the cost of one. A three weeks treatment fer 2Sc. Ask your druggist about it aten dea1ers. ornal. for 2se sboSes st oe

Methods used by the Romans for warming their houses were clever. h Rome itself artificial warmth may have been brought rarely into use, though the Italian winter requires fires at times, but when the Roman took up his abode abroad as the conqueror he certainly lived in chilly climates In the country houses he built in England be had care fully devised heating arrangements, which are called hypocausts. These are fues running under tho tessellated foors Fires were 1t outside of the house, and the hot air passed under the floors. To do thus much required knowledge of the builders art, with the necessary precautions against fire. Remnants of these hypoeausts are found today in England, built during the Roman occu- nation New York Times.
