W. H. Mallock in the August Forum.
The real danger that menaces society
now is not the realization of Socialism,,
but ignorant attempts to realize it. or
all devices for accomplishing the transi
ton to that impossible collectivist
Utopia Of which Socialism dreams, a
progressive income tax, though super[
ficially the most specious, is the oneN
least calculated to bring society sol
much as a step nearer to it; but it isl
one of the best calculated, if admins,
tered by persons who believe in Social,
ism, to impede the action OF the exist,
ing social system, not only to the in-'
jury of the rich, but to the incalcul-'
ably greater injury of all the rest OF
the community. If socialistic or popu-
listic feeling really runs high enough,
| and is sufficiently powerful in America,
| to make it likely that it would dictate
| the amount, and direct the use of an
| income tax, we're such a tax, to be,
levied on the incomes of rich men,
| then the country is no doubt to be
congratulated, should it be saved by it's
| Constitution from being injured by
| those of its citizens who of all types
of men are the most incompetent
to conduct affairs; but the injury
they would intlict would be thu
establishment of no new order; ii
would be simply the temporary, but
disastrous, dislocation of the old. To
understand the true nature of Socialism
and the force it represents, we must
recognize that within certain limits IL
is the cry of some genuine suffering Oh
malaise for which we may hope to find
remedies: but we must remember also
that, regarded as a reasonable system,
it has been, and is, the system Of men
who, whatever their talents in other
respects have been wholly incompe1
tent to direct or to further the produc-.
tion of the wealth which they aim at
redistributing. Indeed il Socialism
had not been essentially the system
of the incompetent, it would long ago
have been the system of the whole

The Power of the jaws.

Literary Dlgcsr
BY means Of spring Instrument
provided with registering device
DR.. G. v. Black took records OF about
$50 "bites'' of different persons. OF
these, 80 have been preserved as char
acteristic of the ordinary man, woman
and child. The smallest pressure re.
corded was 30 pounds. by little girl
I years old. This was with the in
cisors. Using her molars, the same
child exerted force of Go pounds.
The highest record was made by a
physician of 3d. The instrument used
only registered 270 pounds, and he
simply closed it together without ap.
parent effort. There was no method OF
determining how far above 30 pounds
he could have gone. This test was
made with the molars. Several persons
exceeded force of 100 pounds with
the incisors and 200 with the molars.
DR.. Black found that in the habitual
chewing of food much more force is
exerted than is necessary. In chewingl
piece of beefsteals, the crushing
point of which was from 40 to 40
hounds, from 60 to so pounds stress
was actually employed at each thrust
of the teeth. The principal articles Of
food tested had crushing points as fol-
lows: Steak, 40 to 40 pounds muttonl
chops, 30 to 40 pounds: broiled ham,I
AS to 60 pounds; roast beef. 40 to GO
pounds; pork chops, 20 to 20 pounds;
and the choicest parts of cold boiled
beef tongue, three to five pounds. This
tougher parts of beef and mutton re-
quired crushing force of 80 poundS
in some instances.

No Authority for the Recent Meeting of
the Directors-The Association Win Com
Time ItA Work.

No Authority for the Recent Meeting of
the Directors-The Association VIII Com
tinue Its Work.
Editor "The Gazette: Our Y. w. G.
A. has had sensation and we are quite
ashamed of it. To all the members and
friends of the association we would say
that there was no meeting of the board of
directors called for August. Mrs. Milligan
left the city with sick daughter the
second day of August After consulting
the corresponding secretary, recording
secretary and treasurer, aud deciding that
there was nothing special to call meet
ing for, the secretary was notified to send
notices through the press. A change of
housekeeper had been ordered and it was
desirable that the new housekeeper get
into the house before September. This
caused our home plans to suffer very
much.
The board of directors will meet at
their regular time, the first Monday of
September, unless Mrs. Milligan returns
sooner and calls special meeting to pre-
pare our constitution for press. Who
could have called the meeting as reported
in our papers Is certainly mystery. Our
vice president, Mrs. George Capelle, was
out Of the city, and there was not the
slightest business that was not arranged
for. If notoriety and ambition were at
the foundation of it. We hope that the
parties are satisfied with their glory.
The Y. W. G. A. has come TO stay, and
with the present leadership it is likely to
press forward and do splendid work. All
the classes will be opened in September,
dress making. millinery, cooking, art
needle work, music, elocution, physical
culture, ladies exchange, reading room
French and German stenograph. The
association has had no trouble its ranks
before. Each worker attended to her OWL
work as directed. We trust that the better
sense and Christian spirit may yet pre-
J vail aud all trouble be obyiated. X.
