Is there no art in Morse's telegraph,

or in an American cultivator, but only

Dante's insane portraitures Of a sup
posed but impossible torture u lost
souls in hell or the ever recurring
monks Of the wine cellar lewdly gibing

that never occurred or 10 preserve our
reverence for ideas which the human
mind no longer seriously entertained
American art must be- the embodiment
Of American ideals and net the reflex Of
medieval ideals which no longer COM

European mind. The art Of Europe is as

COUNTRY AIR PROMOTES LONG LIFE
breathing an Atmosphere of Purity Ward
on Deadly Disease.

breathing an Atmosphere OF Purity Wards
on Deadly Disease.
The loss of pure air. sunshine and
other free" goods and their effect on the
physique 0i city jewellers are not ade-
quately compensated by hygienic re-
forms Of town life itself, while the in
creased number and completely of SEN
sations impose IA greater strain upon the
nervous system. The nervous degenera-
ton which thus accrues may perhaps be
checked in time by further hygienic i'm
provement Of the town and by a gradual
REIMBURSEMENT between the nervous sys-
TEN and its 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
quantity Of purely economic poverty.
When we reflect that the physical in
juries Of town life. attested by tables of
mortality and impaired muscular activ-
ity, fall most heavily upon the poor, we
shall see grave reasons of industrial and
social life are generally favorable to the
physical vitality of the low paid worker
or the residdum-that is to say, whether
he gets any net vital advantage out of
the higher rate Of real wages which he
obtains when he is working.
When we also bear in mind that each
year higher proportion Of the workers
are living in large towns, where the
duration Of life is about 10 per cent less
than in the country, and that the age of
enforced retirement from regular wage
earning is, by reason of the strain Of
competition and the regulations Of trade
organizations, considerably earlier than
1t was formerly, and that an increased
irrcgularity of employment is discerni-
bic in many of most trades, we may
hold IL doubtful whether the average
worker of the lower order makes 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
important significance when we remcm-
Der that each decennial census shows
growing proportion Of workers subject
to the conditions Of town life. -Contem-
porary Review.

An Act OF Heroism ana a wonder
full Escape.

On Wednesday OF last week the dry
house at the Poulin mine, Mont, caught
IRE and within half an hour that build
ing and the engine, boiler and shaft
houses were a mass OF charred timbers
and the machinery covered with debris.
When the fire started there were six
men In the shalt, sinking about 90 feet
below the l ,000-ioot level, and the pump.
man stationed at that level. Notice was
at once sent to them but fearing they
might not appreciate the gravity of the
situation foreman was lowered, who
called TO the men to come up. They
clambered to the cage, leaving Shea, the
pumpman, behind, when the signal to
hoist was given and the speed at which
the cage shot up showed that the engi-
neer realized there was no time to lose.
and he was right in his surmise, for no
sooner had the men landed than the
rope, which was red hot, parted and the
cage fell into the shaft.
The engineer, whose name was Charles
Melee, kept at his post, although he
was almost encompassed by flames. He
was protected by having water played on
him. notwithstanding which the hair was
burned off his head and face. There was
so much smoke and steam in the engine
house that McGee could scarcely zee the
Indicator, but be stood at his post until
the six men were safely landed, by which
time some OF the brass work had melted,
and az the doorway was in flames he had
to make his escape by the window.
The pumpman, Shea, was was alter
ward brought to surface through the
shaft OF the Estelle mine, the workings of
which communicated with the Poulin. II
the cage had stopped to take on Shea,
the chances are none OF the men would
have been saved, az the rope would. no
doubt, have parted before the cage
reached the surface.
Three cheers for McGeel In which we
feel sure our readers will JON.
