SOME ITEMS.

We notice that the report of expenses
for the almshouse last year includes a
bill for tobacco amounting to $7O4. Tea
cost $521. Boots and shoes cost $SS6,6O,
and clothes cost $1,6OO65.
We do not notice this tobacco item
for the purpose of Directing to it. Those
who become public charges are entitled
to decent treatment, and there is no
doubt that many of them are soothed
and sustained by tobacco in such way
that 1t would be cruel to deprive them
of it. The same can be said Of the tea
item, and the same can be said of the
whiskey item, which is now, we believe,
included in the drugs and medicines"
item, OF course the use of tobacco and
whislley tend to pauperism, and some
say that tea is no better. But hui
name society cannot decently deprive
even those who have become paupers
| through the use of tobacco and whis-
key, or tea, of the necessaries of life.
So as long as those items do not exceed
in amount all the others there Is no
reason for the unworthy and industri-
Gus poor who are paying the taxes to
grumble.

4 FINE SCHEM u.
prince.

Once in a while somebody in the
Postoffice department takes a notion
that he will raise a disturbance among
newspapers and their readers by doing
something or other that will make the
distribution of newspapers more diff
cult and costly. The latest outbreak in
this line is that of w. s. Shallenberger,
the second assistant postmaster-gener
al. His notion is that the government
should undertake the entire business Of
transporting the newspapers of the
country: He says: There seems to be
no good reason why the bulk of legiti-
mate newspapers carried by the gov
ernment at great loss to remote places
should be permitted to be taken away
from the mails by railroad and express
companies whenever there is a short
haul that would make the carriage Of
them profitable to the government.
The carriage Of newspapers, packages,
ETC., by railroad and express companies
may have been justified, perhaps, years
ago, when the railroad mail service was
less efficient, but with our present facil-
tiles, such as may easily be obtained,
I am convinced that the department
can and should carry the great bulk Of
newspaper matter that has been for
years withheld from the mails and sent
in baggage cars and special express
trains.
If there is a sensible reason why
newspaper publishers should not dis
tribute their product in the ways most
economical for themselves and their
patrons we should like to hear it. The
Postoffice department does not provide
the requisite facilities for prompt and
did newspaper publishers would be
glad to use them. But there is no pros
pect that it will. To tax the newspa-
pers a cent pound for mail carriage,
whether the distance traversed is one
mile or 1000 miles, would act as an en-
| barge on legitimate business in some
| instances. Transportation charges by
railroad, steamboat or express compan-
| les bear some relation to distances.
Newspapers sent through railroads as
articles of commerce are carried at
one-fourth the cost Mr.. Shallenberger
would charge, and certainly the pro-
prietors are entitled to treat their pub
locations as ordinary merchandise, as
Stunning all the risks incident to such
methods Of transportation and distri-
button.
Mr.. Shallenberger's great scheme to
tax newspapers and their readers will
probably not get far. 1t has already
gone quite as far as it ought to go.
The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1897-10-26
the large cities year ago and thl

From this table it appears that only
two cities, Detroit and Louisville, had
smaller totals of loans and discounts
to their credit this month than year
ago. 1t may further be pointed out
that the loans and discounts at New
York three months ago. that is, on
July %. amounted to 1881, 543,e10 The
total this month was $40S, 335475. For
Boston they represented the sum Of
$16S, 423,055 in July and now stand at
1854, S07, 1923. Philadelphia's total during
the summer was $96,O45,461, and in Oc-
tober $102, 577,519. The other principal
centres show corresponding advances.
Furthermore, it is interesting to notice
that the loans and discounts now out
standing in New York exceed the
record of the boom year 1892. In that
year the figure was but 1914, 199,941, as
against $40S33 ATS now.
This is business, and big business
too. The prosperity shouters have
solid ground to stand upon.

Glasgow, has a total height OF ass feet
inches, with diameter at the base of
90 feet and at the top of Is feet 6 inches.
The managing director of Joseph Town
send, Limited, oliver G. Townsend, has
been good enough to give me thefollow-
ing particulars OF their shaft: Founded
In May, 1857; coping laid October 6, 1853;
bent by storm of September 8, 1859; re-
stored to perpendicular by saving from
September 81 till October /, 1859; total
height, 46S feet; from surface to top OF
cope, 454 feet; outside diameter at
foundation, so feet; at surface, 50 feet;
at top of cope, 10 feet inches; height
of lightning conductor at top of Chin
ney at Cologne which Is AL feet high,
with diameter at the square base OF
SO feet and at the round top of IL feet
6 inches. Its weight is about $500 tons.
Another towering chimney on the Con-
tinent is that at the Royal Smelling
| Works near Freiburg in Saxony. 1t is
built upon the top Of a HILL where II
stands Isolated, and is 400 feet high an
inside diameter Of 20 feet at the bottom
and 16 feet inches at the top. 1t took
100000 bricks to build the stack. ana
| the cost was 10000. The most costly
chimney in the world is in Bradford, at
the famous Manningham Mills. The
shaft is remarkable structure
INTELLECTUALLY, and is the most promi-
nent feature in the landscape in that
part of Yorkshire. 1t is 256 feet inches
high and 81 feet square 1t contains 5000
tons of material, and cost rather more
than 10000. A popularity of this
shaft is that it is as broad at the top as
it is at the bottom.-Lugate Monthly.
