days labor of the prescription referred
to, which should be compensated by
about the same price from year to year
and from generation to generation
when measured by the most unchange-
able of values; and this should be an
amount sufficient for the comfortable
maintenance of man with q moder-
ate sized family to rear and support
and an additional reasona BILE allowance
for his support when overtaken by the
infirmities and disabilities of age. Now,
if just and suitable compensation
could be determined upon for a DAYS
labor of the above description it would
certainly afford basis for establish

practically inaugurated when it is es.
timated that the conditions are nor

make that price the unit of value and
make multiples and fractions of it dec

of the country into this class of money,
whether it be gold or silver or paper
or all of these. Certainly it might not
always be practicable to maintain this
relation precisely between the unit of
value of the currency and days labor,
but with the system once established
and in operation, the relation of the
two or the facility with which one
could be procured for the other would
serve as an index to the condition of
the labor market. Although any or
every other thing or commodity should
f1uctuate or change in price, a days la
Dor should at all times command about
one unit of a currency which should be
merely expansive to adopt it to the de-

labor should become phenomenally
dull in the market as it has been in
this country for number of years it
should be made matter of govern
ment investigation and the method
might be adopted nationally, as is
sometimes done locally and on small
scale, if engaging in some undertaking
of public improvement or mining and
compensate laborers by issuing to
them full legal tender paper curren-
cy, a unit for days labor, and con-
tioue this until little initiation of the
relation between it and labor is re-es.

If it was a wise and proper thing for
the government to put million or
two of men at new occupation, that
of war, for it's preservation, with all
its institutions and interests, and at an
occupation that was not productive but
destructive, certainly it would be a
justifable thing to give large per
cent OF the people employment in
peaceful and productive pursuits to
perpetuate and preserve it. Does it
not appear that to begin to administer
relief in this way to the masses and to
foster and protect labor would be more
efficient in restoring property than
legislation in favor of classes which do
not SO much need relief, and in being
benefited can benefit but few of the
people of the nation?-W. J. c., Wichi-

The decision of the Supreme Court of
the United States in the Bell telephone
case is great victory for the monopo-
". The general verdict is that the de-
cision is wrong; it is certainly great
misfortune. The people will never get
reasonable telephone rates as long as
this Bell monopoly continues. Besides
the big profits made by the company
enables it to keep powerful lobby in
Washington to influence Congress and
the courts. The two most powerful
Hobbies kept in Washington are those
of the telegraph and telephone monop-
oily. The only way out is for the gov
eminent to establish postal telegraph
and telephone system and run it as a

Historic Bride-Cake Makers.

SlXty-one years ago the Duchess of
Kent and her young daughter, the
Princess Victoria, visited the old town
OF Chester, the quaintest in all Eng
land, for the purpose of officially open
ing new bridge that was to bring all
kinds of Importance and prosperity to
the town. OF course, it was an i'm
mense event for Chester, and every
one did something to make the visit
Of the great folks memorable. Richard
Bolland was the poor but ambitious
proprietor of cake shop,and he churn-
ed his brains nightly to devise some
attractive method Of showing his 10y
al appreciation of the visit. In some
happy moment he decided to make
some small cakes of transcendent ex-
cellence, put them in fancy box, and
present them to the young princess.
Happy thought! The princess was de-
lighted with the cakes, and how long
their flavor fingered in her memory is
shown by the fact that many years
later, when the Prince of Wales was
to be married, Victoria gave a commits
sion to Bolland to prepare the wedding
cake for this great event. 1t was no
ordinary wedding cake that Mr.. Boil
land produced, either, and it's exhibit
ton earned him such tremendous fame
that every English bride of wealth and
prominence who was married since
then has had the Chester baker pre-
pare her wedding cake. Descendants
of the original Bolland now conduct
the shop, but they use the same re-
cipe that proved so successful in the
days of Victoria's childhood. Even at
that time the recipe was an old one.
It is needless to say it is treasured as a
secret. No cake is sent out until it is
matured for at least six months, and
better results are attained when it is
two years old, as the flavor, like good
wine, becomes mellower and rich with
the passage of time. This system ne
cessitates the keeping of big stock of
the cake, and there are never less than
two thousand pounds on hand. Some
of the cakes are prodigiously heavy,
that for the Prince of Wales weighing
almost five hundred pounds. The oven
in which they are baked is as large as
the average kitchen.

CARE OF THE SICK ROOM.
1t Should BE Kept scrupulously Clea

1t Should BE Kept scrupulously Clean
and Free from Noise.
Mrs. Burton Kingsland, writing of
when Nursing the Sick" in the
Ladies' Home Journal, insists that "a
tranquil mind is of the utmost import
ance to the patient, and consequently
everything must seem to be moving
smoothly and easily, no matter what
difficulties the nurse may have to en-
counter. The invalid should not be al
lowed to feel any responsibility what
ever about his own case. The 'ick~
room should be kept scrupulously neat,
and made as cheerful and attractive as
possible, that the eyes of the patient
may rest with pleasure upon his sur
roundings. The nurse herself may
contribute to the agreeable environ
ment If her own dress be simple and
tasteful, and above all, conspicuously
neat. All soiled dishes should be re-
moved Immediately after being used,
and no food kept in sight. Even the
medicine bottles need not be obtrusive-
ly in evidence. stiffness has in itself
a power to soothe, and, as all know,
when the nerves are quiet Natures
healing processes go on without i'm
pediment. Creaking shoes, rust!ing OF
garments, the rafting of dishes, and
kindred noises are often the occasion
or positive suffering to an invalid. TO
accidentally jar the bed, to spill the
medicine when administering it, to

are cases where a small unkindness is
a great offense' in the representative
condition of the nerves of the patient"
