LABOR AND MACHINERY.
proposed Legislation to Lessen the Hours
of Labor


WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 1S.-An
effort to compile statistics regarding
convict labor in the United States has
been instituted by the House Committee
on Labor, as a preliminary TO drawing
q bill to prevent competition between
prison made goods and the products OF
free labor.
An interesting line OF Inquiry set on
foot by Chairman McGann, OF the COM
mittee. through the Labor Commission
or, concerns the results OF machinery
upon labor and production. Mr.. Nc
Gam believes that this country is sUf-
fering from oyer-DrOduction, largely
caused by the Introduction Of labor
saving machinery, which displaces
wOrkmen while 10 Increases the output.
The type-sstting machines, which do
the work each Of three men, be conSid-
ers a good example Of this tendency.
When they are introduced a printing Of
rec two-thirds Of the men are displaced;
they drift into other Offices, fnd IL diff
cult to secure work, are willing to work
cheaply for the sake Of living, and re-
duce the general rates Of wages,
Another example Of the same charac-
ter he finds in the history Of Iabor-say-
Ing machinery in brickmaking. The
ramedy for this be fnds In shorter
hours Of labor, arguing that a system OF

more hands and at the same time In

be more acceptable In the form o,
smoke or vapor. The gods had be-
come of too spiritual nature actual
ly to eat the food, but they would
still require some form of nourIsh-
n1ent, and what could be more suit
able to them than the fumes OF
burned flesh? This is the concep-
tion that is prominent, or, at all
events, survives, In the descrlpt ons
of sacrifices In the "Illiad," where
the thick clouds from the burning
thighs of the slaughtered oxen, and
from the fat In which they were
wrapped, ascend to Olympus and
cheer the assembled gods. 1t was
but step from this to the burning
OF fragrant woods and rosin to pro-
vide less gross qualification. More
over, by the consumption In their
honor OF these precious spices and
fragrant gums, obtained at SO much
cost and trouble, another motive OF
sacrifice was satisfied.
The Egyptians In the preparation
OF their mummies had need Of vast
store of spices and aromatics. This
need, no doubt, was the origin of
their trade with Southern Arabia
the land OF Punt-a trade which at
tanned to great Importance under the
eighteenth and nineteenth dynastes
That, In search of aromatics, there
was also more northern trade route,
which must In early days have
brought them into contact with the
Hebrews, we have good proof. The
Egyptians in this respect were far in
advance of the Greeks Of Homer.
They burned their incense in a con-
ser, using 1t in similar way to the
Buddhlsts and Christian, OF later
days.

Why Incense Was Used.

The sense of smell, which at the
dawn Of civilization was a declining
one, and since then has tended to be.
come less and less of value, would
appear TO have little chance OF gain
ing an important position in any
branch of human culture. And yet
it came about that one characteristic
of the exciting cause of odors
brou. hit them into prominence in the
service OF religion, and this promi-
hence has continued In that come :
ton up to the present day. Far back
In the history Of our race, at any rate
long before the dawn OF history, the
apparently immaterial and, so TO
speak, ghostly nature Of the exciting
cause of the sensation OF smell, led,
IL would seem, step by step, To the
use OF incense In the service Of the
gods.
When 1t began to be felt that the
ancestral or other spirit that had 10
.e appeased was hardly OF a nature

drink offered to IL to appease
its wrath or to gain its favor,
an easy step OF reasoning sug-
gested that this food or liquid would

Wild Clamor OF Merchants to Get Their
Imports Ont of Bond.
The customs receipts at Chicago on
the day preceding the going into eff
feet of the new tariff law lar exceeded
any sum heretofore collected. The
cash received amounted to nearly
$780, 600, while the largest receipts for
any other one day were &c., OO. In New
York, before the opening OF the Gus
tom-house, crowd of brokers nearly
broke down the doors, and after these
we're unlocked they mobbed the ro-
tunda and the third division. During
the exciting crush in the rotunda an
importer of dress goods was heard to
shout in jubilation that he had saved
$4,000 Dy keeping his goods in bond till
that day.
In Importance and receipts the four
great ports rank in this order: New
York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago.
Chicago exceeds in collections the
great seaboard cities of Baltimore,
San Francisco and New Orleans. The
following table shows the receipts, ex-
penses, average number OF employees
and the cost per dollar for collections:

Merely a Speculation.

At first thought, Egypt would be
the last place To look for the inven-
tion Of hoped vessels, its arid climate
making it especially unsuited for
their employment. Possibly, how.
ever, that may have been the com.
polling cause of their invention. All
through the East the bamboo is large
ly used for making hollow vessels, a
section OF the stem through a node
securing sold bottom, and one be-
tween the nodes an open mouth for a
natural tub or bucket. In all we'll
wooded regions, nothing would lie
more natural than the employment
OF hollow tree trunks for the same
purpose, or sections of tree stumps,
followed out by fire or otherwise.
In drying, such vessels would split
and spoil, and 1t would require no
great natural genius to repair them
the primitive form OF the hoop. If
the users OF such natural barrels
should migrate TO region where
timber was scarce, economy of lumber
would be likely to suggest the build
ing of barrels from pieces artiflcially
split. in short the use OF slaves, by
means of which the primitive cooper
w, uld be able 10 make several blrrels
out OF a book that would suffice but
for single dugout. But this is
a speculation merely. 1t is enough
to know for certain that the cooper's
art, like the potters, is one OF ex-
treme antiuuity

and encampment was a singularly ap-
propriate action on the Part of the last
session, VIII CHI convened in Kansas
City. Washington is the birthplace of
the Knights OF rythia' and it is fitting
that the city in which the infant strug-
& es of the order were made should
now be the scene of the largest gath
ering OF knights ever brought to-
gether. The order was founded Feb
10, 1864, by Mr.. Justice II. Rathbone and
OF er5, and from a beginning of FIVE
members has grown to over half a mil
lion.
The feature OF the encampment was
the grand parade OF the uni orm rank.
Fifteen thousand knight, were in line,
marching by State brigades, and the
procession was more than two hours
pa sing the presidential reviewing
stand. Pennsylvania avenue wa
crowded with more than one hundred
thousand people, a large proportion OF
them visitors from out OF the city.
The President reviewed the procession
from a small stand erected on the curb
ing iu { in front OF the White House,
and as the knights swept past he
acknow edged the salutations OF the
commanding of GERS by bowling.
