Inc FIRM LRn0Eers@ Lot Is NOT Had
M Many Imagine.
Those who work by the month on the
farm are apt to regard their circum-
stances with disfavof when they hear of
the wages which labor OF no higher
grade commands in our large cities. But
they viii find, if they investigate the
matter, that the farm laborer is usually
as well paid as his city brother. and
Oftentimes a great deal better. In the
city of Pittsburgh at present all the car
penters and artisans of similar grade
that are wanted can be had for two dol
lars per day. Many cannot find work at
that. All over western Pennsylvania
good common" labor can be had at
prices from one dollar to one dollar and
fifty cents per day. Those who have
contracts for public works, such as rail-
roads, pipe lines. etc., are overwhelmed
with applications for work.
Wages like S1.50, So, or $3.50 per day
look pretty big to the man who the year
round makes but so cents in cash. but
they are not SO big as they look. They
are often inconstant. 4 good many
skilled laborers can work only part of
the year, but rent and other living eS
penses must be paid all the time. The
city laborer must pay cash for every
thing, including many things which the
farmland is either furnished or permit
ted to raise for himself free of cost. I'm
less a workman of the two-dollar grade
has constant employment in a city like
Pittsburgh he is very likely to find the
balance on the wrong side at the end
of the year. If he has family to sup
port he must often live in cramped quar-
tiers, and must raise his children amid
surroundings unfavorablc to their ply
steal and moral development. Contrast
this picture with the man on the farm,
who, if he has a family, is often fur
nished a house at little or no cost. is per-
mitted to raise his vegetables, dairy
products and meat, and is paid wages be-
sides. Or with the single man who is
kept and if economical has most of his
wages at the end of the year. The coun-
try laborer who investigates the mat
ter thoroughly will be very slow to
change his certain employment and in
expensive living for place where the
reverse is unfortunately too common

physician of Munich who has written
an extensive work upon TIE subject of
breathing. He has, besides, formulated
a system by which asthmatic patients
are made to walk without losing breath,
while sufferers from weaknesses Of the
heart are cured. At Meran, in the Aus
trian Tyrol, his patients (almost every
royal house of Europe is represented)
are put through n certain SYSTEM of
breathing and walking. The mountain
paths are all marked off with stakes of
different colors, each indicating the
number of minutes in which patient

When Napoleon determined that France

the ready supply of armies with pro-
visions, he didn't pause for the adoption

there has been 10 uniformity in the
building and preservation of roads. y
person starting on a road journey
through New York, Pennsylvania or
the New England states was never
sure that his progress would not be de-
layed by ruts, stones, holes and other
impediments of country travel.
There are good reasons why the roads
in this country are not yet in the state
of perfection found abroad. The vast
areas of the United States, the wide
stretches of uncultivated land, the rap
id march of emigration westward, the
concentration of wealth and population
in metropolitan centers, have all con-
tributed to a certain neglect of scien-
tific road building. In addition to these
hindrances, the enormous expense re-
quired to build and keep in order thou
sands of miles OF highway, seemed often
TO put the undertaking out of the ques-
ton.
There are indications, however, that
what the legislation of townships AMI
the complaints of teamsters and drivers
have not been able to accomplish in this
matter will be accomplished by the BIZ
cycle. a century run is practicable
only over hundred miles OF good road.
The man who takes a spin of five or ten
miles of an evening also demands safe
and sure passage unimpeded by stones
or ruts. The ever-increasing number
of wheelmen makes this demand i'm
perative, and good roads are now in
evitable. The time may not be very far
distant when II man may wheel from
New York to San Francisco over high
ways as firm and smooth as the boule.
