Life in Fresh Air.

The loss Of pure air, sunshine and
other "free" goods and its effect on the
physique of city dwellers is not ade-
quately compensated by hygienic re-
forms Of town life itself, while the
increased number and complexity of sem
sations impose greater strain upon the
nervous system. The nervous degener-
alton which thus sccrues may perhaps
be checked in time by further hygienic
improvement OF the town and by grad
usl readiustment between the nervous
system and it's changed environment.
But meantime grave physical injuries
arise directly from those very economic
changes which have raised the economic
condition Of the great mass Of the work
ers and have probably reduced the guam
tity of purely economical poverty. When
we reflect that the physical injuries of
town life, attested by tables Of mortality
and impaired muscular activity, fall
most heavily upon the poor, we shall see
grave reasons of industrial and social
life are generally favorable to the phys
icsl vitality Of the low-paid worker or
the residuum; that is to say, whether he
gets any net vital advantage out Of the
higher rate Of real wages which he OBJ
tains when he is working.
When we also bear in mind that each
year a higher proportion Of the workers
Is living in large towns, where the dura-
tion of life is about Is per cent. less than
in the country, and that the age Of en-
forced retirement from regular wage
earning is, by reason Of the strain Of
competition and the regulations Of trade
organizations, considerable earlier than
it was formerly, and that an increased
irregularity Of employment is discern
ible in many trades, we may hold it
doubtful whether the average worker
Of the lower order makes a total life
wage which is any higher than he made
formerly. The conclusion applied by
Charles Booth to the whole body Of
workers that "in one way or another
effective working life is ten years longer
in the country than in town" has an i'm
portant significance when we remember
that each decennial census shows g
growing proportion Of workers subject
to the conditions Of town life. Farmers

REMOVING A CAPITAL.
The Emperor Constantines Momentous
Change From Rome to Constantinople.

The Emperor Constantines homentous
Change From Rome to ConstantinopIe.
The removal Of the imperial capital
from Rome to Byzantium was one of
the most decisive acts ON record-a sig
nal monument Of foresight, genius and
will Madrid, St Petersburg and Berlin
are also capital cities created by the act
Of powerful ruler But mono of these
foundations can compare in scale and in
Importance with the tremendous task of
moving the seat of empire 1000 miles
TO the east, from the center of Italy to
the coast of Asia, from Latin to
Greek city, from n pagan to Christian
population Tho motives which impel-
led Constantine to this momentous step
were doubtless complex. Since the time
Of Trajan Rome had not been the con-
slant residence Of the emperors, except
of Antoninus Plus, nor tho regular seat Of
government Since tho time of Diocle-
tian Rome had been abandoned as the
official center Of the empire Many
places east of it had been tried, and Con
stantine, when resolved on the great
change, seriously contemplated two, if
not three, other sites. 1t had long been
agreed that the imperial seat must be
transferred toward tho east, and there
was an instructive sense that the valley
of the Tlber was no longer safe from
the in9essent onward march Of the Teu.
tonic nations In arms
The tendency was to get somewhere
south of the Danube and within reach
of Asia Minor and the Euphrates The
greater chiefs had all felt that the en-
pire must be recast both politically and
spiritually. BY the fourth century it
was clear that the empire must break
with the rooted prejudices that sur
rounded the senate Of Rome and the
gods Of the capitol And Constantine,
the. half conscious and half convinced
agent OF the great change-the change
from the ancient world to the modern
world, from polytheis1n to Christianity
saw in the church and bishop of Rome

but it Is not the whole truth, for Caesar
might have become Spaniard. or q

added that Cesar became an oriental in

Already now to part the Last
You turn n surrcptitious glance.
Why, surely soon enough you'll learn
Tho fate of each fictitious friend
You've scarcely done with chapter one
Before you want "to know tho end"
The heroinc's stupendous feats,
The hero's indignation fine,
At which tho wicked duke retreats,
Quito routed all along the line,
The noble deeds, the stirring scenes,
To mono OF these will you attend
Till certain quite that all comes right,
That marriage bells arc at tho end
Well. If the bard might moralizo,
He would remark. think that man,
Throughout existence, ever tries
To initiate your simple plan
In guessing what Is still to como
Long days with scant result we spend.
We, too, would look throughout tho book !;
We. too, would like to know tho end
And yet venture to maintain
To read your stories through wero best,
A course whereby their plots would gain

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Nov 3.-Fine
weather throughout the State brought out
a heavy vote. The voting progressed aui-
city and no disturbances of any kind are
reported. In San Francisco the returns
indicate that Mckinley leads. Chairman
Mclaughlin of the Republican State Com
mittee declines to give any estimate of the
vote, but he believes that Mckinley will
carry the State. On the other hand Chair
man Alvord of the Democratic State Com
mittee claims the State for Bryan by a
safe majority. Boih sides maintain that
they will elect majority of Congressional
candidates and also secure the next Legis-
lature on JOINT ballot
At midnight returns from Southern
California indicated that balloting had
been strongly in favor of Mckinley, al
though the fusion vote was quite heavy at
many points. Bryan has carried several
of the central and northern counties OF
the State by small maiorities. The count
in the City continues slow, but at this
hour Mckinley maintains his lead.

DENVER, Colo. Nov. 3-Bryan and
Sewall have carried Colorado by plu-

slowly, owing to the fact that there are
eleven tickets in the field and the cumber-
some manner in which the ballot is got
up this year. Democrats, Silver Republi-
cans, National Silver and Peoples party
fused on Bryan and SewaIl electors. Nc
Kiniey electors get 10000 votes and the
Republican party losses are $4,000, which
were cast for Bryan and Sewall. Seventy
six thousand Populist votes were cast for
Bryan. The gold Democrats are simply
an incident 10 the campaign. The mid
dle.of-the-road Populists cast about 5000
and the balance scattering.
