1t is often said that the manager Of
an enterprise who uses only brains is
entitled to wages as much as the la
borers under him who do the manual
work. Concerning these wages Of "su-
perintendence," William Clark, in the
"Fabian Essays" gives AN instance Of
one way on which they may be, and
often are, earned" "A steel rail COM
bination some years ago formed in AM
erica. This combination discovered
that too many rails were being made
and that prices were being cut Ac-
cordingly one of the mills-the Vulcan
mill of st. Louis-was closed, and stood
smokeless for years, its owners mean
while receiving subsidy of $3.50, 900 a
year from the other mills in the trust
for not making rails. That is how the
owners of the Vulcan mill earned their
wages of superintendent 1t is need
less to add that no payment was made
to the men for not working"

The working Of the new prison labor

the product OF convict labor coming in

1t is not possible to be too conscien-
tious, but 1t is easy to imagine that
conscientiousness includes what 1t does
not include. In a recent religious con-
ference a devout missionary objected
to accepting millionaire's gift of two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars for
missionary purposes on the ground
that the rich man is not so religious
as the missionary thinks he ought to
be. This man became rich in almost
the only way in which vast wealth can
be accumulated honestly-by the exer-
else Of superior business ability. He
has given substantial proof Of his deep
interest in the welfare OF those less
favored pecuniarily by setting aside
several million dollars to be used for
their benefit in religious, moral and
educational ways. The Directing mis-
sionary evidently had been reading
the sweeping TRADES Of the anarchistic
newspapers against the possessors OF
wealth, and-what few intelligent read
ers do-accepting their allegations as
true.

After the Transaction Was Fully Ex-
planned Maria Was Satisfied.
The wife of q well-to-do Vermont far
mer called the attention of her husband
to newspaper article describing a
wedding, where the groom had COM
pensated the minister for his services
in farm produce, says Youths COmpan-
ion. How ridiculous!" commented the
good lady.
Her husband smiled. 1T isn't the
ordinary thing" he remarked, but then
people who live in glass houses mustn't
throw stones"
What do you mean, Jonas Farmer"
asked his wife, sharply.
WELL" returned Jonas, ''wne.l |
married you | paid the minister two
pigs and he gave me 35 cents change"
And with that Mr.. Farmer burst into
laugh, to the great discomfort of his
wife.
I've lived with you thirty years and
I never heard that before" she said,
land l should like to know what you
mean by it. I believe you're saying
that just to hector me-"
NO Mri," answered her spouse wnen
his mirth had somewhat subsidized. I'll
you how 1t happened"
you know I had been running the
farm for father before we were mar
ried, and Parson Steadman, who mar
ried us, had just come to town. He
wanted couple of pigs and came over
to our place to get them. l had gone,
but the hired man sold them to him by
weight and they amounted to just
$1035.
'Parson Steadman told the man that
he hadn't the money by him, but would
be over again in few days and would
settle, and the hired man told him that
would be all right.
well, when we were married | gave
the parson a brand new $40 bill one
that purpose.
Next morning bright and early over
came the parson to our place. He
asked the hired man if was at home,
and when l came out he was pretty
much surprised to see that | was the
same man that he had married the
night before. He turned kind of red
and looked little queer and said he
had come over to settle for those two
pigs, and he took from his pocket that
very $40 bill that gave him the night
before and 35 cents besides and handed
them to me.
II burst out laughing and he looked
kind of sober for a minute, then he
burst out laughing, too.
IF had recognized you as the man
I owed for the pigs when you were at
my house last night he said, I could
have handed you the IS cents and we
should have been square,
80, you see, M'ri, that while we
went through the form of passing the
money back and forth you were prac-
tically bought for two pigs, minus 35
cents"

In their declaration of principles Mr.
Debs and his associates of the new
Social Democracy Of America echo the
strongest of the arguments which have
been uttered by recent socialistic econ
omists. They propose to do away with
the system by which one part Of the
human race, having the control Of cap
ital, is the constant gamer of increas-
ing profits from the employment Of la
Dor, while the other part gets only a
part Of what its labor produces. The
platform also points out that with
political system which is democratic
we have. an economic system which is,
to certain extent, oligarchic-a fact
exemplified, for instance, by the enor-
nous trusts. To the fact that this
economic system is opposite to our
democratic system Of politics Mr.. Debs
very Justly ascribes the existence Of
much Of the corruption in the govern
ment and in the use Of the franchise.
The new commonwealth at which the
Social Democracy" aims as furnish
ing the release from these conditions
is to give to every worker the full
benefit and free exercise Of his facul-
ties, multiplied by all the modern
factors OF civilization, and ultimately
inaugurate the brotherhood of man."
A higher ideal could not be sought.
1t is in the attempt to realize it in
peaceable and orderly manner, and
without violation of radical principles
of the government that the difficulty
will arise. Every socialism such as
is here outlined rests fundamentally
upon the PROPOSITION that an over
whelming majority of the community
is actuated by altrurian motives; that
its members will willingly labor "ac-
cording to their abilities and take only
according to their needs" There Is
an element of self-sacrifice required
self-sacrifice on the part of each that
all may benefit. The fact is that labor
is rarely voluntary. Remove the i'm
perious need of earning a livelihood
and there would not be enough work.
ing men to supply the demand. Most
men who toll do so because they must
or because Of personal ambition. And
no man OF either class can be expected
to refuse to avail himself Of every
chance of advancement which may be
placed within his reach. These are
merely the foilings Of human nature.
The test OF such a commonwealth as
Mr.. Debs proposes will come when the
attempt is made to get each man to
do his share in the commonwealth, de-
manding in return only the emolument
common to the others, and suppress
ing all ambition for riches or renown.

Good government in cities Is made
difficult, not alone by lack of con-
science, but also by lack of wisdom.
Writing of the city of Brooklyn, . cor
respondent Of the New York Witness
says that when the thieves are in
power the people, are swindled; and
with only one exception, when the re-
formers have been put in power, mat
tiers have been no better. and in some
cases worse" The exception, doubt
less, refers to the mayorality of Seth
Low, man of clear sense and great
ability, now president of Columbia uni
versity, New York. The study of mum
icipal problems has been entered upon
by many OF the best citizens, and none
too soon. Folly may be as costly as
knavery.

AS TRUE AS GOSPEL.

Women desire sympathy, men pre-
fer help.
Never take a crooked path while you
can find a straight one.
Idleness is only the refuge of weak
minds and the holiday of fools.
Self-reliance, self-restraint, self-dis-
cipline constitute an educated will.
The soul and spirit that animates
and keeps up society is mutual trust.
Hope is the word which the finger
of God hath inscribed upon the brow
of every man.
Cheerfulness is an excellent wear
ing quality. It has been called the
bright weather OF the heart.
The man who bowls at the passing
OF the hat in church will pay a big
hotel bill with a smile on his face.
The man who, improving in skill and
knowledge, improves in modesty, has
an undeniable claim to greatness OF
mind.
When we strive to do the best we
can we are sure to find that our best
Is beyond anything that we had dared
to hope for.
Parental restraint, If 1t is wise, will
be exerted only with the view OF rem
dering the child as soon as possible
independent of it.
The respect people show you in your
misfortune diminishes long before you
have begun to outlive it, and you feel
irritated as before.
If you have made mistake, do not
think 1t condescension to apologize.
The true gentleman is always ready
to rectify blunder.
Weigh your own faults with the
scales of justice. but when you consider
the shortcomings Of your neighbor,
borrow the balances Of charity.
Write it on your heart that every
day is the best in the year. No man
has learned anything rightly until he
knows that every day is Doomsday.
To give suggestion, or even serious
advice, to another may be kind and
wise; but to press either beyond GER
tain limits is both rude and impolitic.
A companion that is cheerful, and
free from swearing or scurrilous dis
course. is worth gold. IT'S the COM
pany and not the charge that makes
the feast.
The truest help we can render All
afflicted man is not take his burden
from him, but to call out his best
energy, that he may be able to bear
the burden.

A patent has been issued IN the uni
ted States for novel process for water
proofing textile fabrics. In carrying
out the process the fabric to be treated
is wetted with water and placed be-
tween sheets or rollers. One OF these
Sheets or rollers, which is preferably
,of tin or aluminium, is connected to the
positive pole of an electric generator
and the other sheet or roller to the
negative pole. BY employing such a
dissolving positive electrode and pass
ing current through the wet fabric the
fibres are made water-repellent. The
inventor states that the waterproofing
is due to the formation on the positive
conductor of a metallic oxide OF some
kind. produced by the liberation of
nascent oxygen on the positive conduc-
tor. due to the electrolytic action of the
current on the water with which the
goods are saturated, and which oxide
enters in the fibres OF the goods,
aided by the current, and prob
ably is combined partly chemically and
partly mechanically with the fibres,
making the same waterproof by the
presence Of the oxide in or on tine fibre.
The strength Of the current applied
depends upon the character OF goods
submitted to treatment. but care must
be taken not to carry the process too
. far. THE nascent hydrogen on the neg
/ alive side will, il the time Of treatment
!, is too long, accumulate and then begin
7 To act as a reducing agent, and in case
She period of treatment is prolonged
beyond the proper time, then the
Inascent hydrogen will reduce the oxide
i,of the metal in the goods to the me-
btallic state, and the combination or
/ Union of the oxide with the fibres will
lie destroyed by the reduction CT the
i,oxide to metallic state. The process
i Il said to have the great merit Of max
ling the individual fibres and threads
water -repellent, while the pores OF the
goods are in no way stopped up or
closed. Consequently, If used on cloth
,ihg i: would not prevent evaporation
; taking place through the interstices be-
tween the threads.

CARELESS of the means employed or its

emily knows no law, be 1t human or

Of this assertion is plentiful. Hence
it logically follows that the surest, and
in fact the only way for labor to Sc

is to associate it's interest by mutual
agreement and organization along craft
lines, thus enabling them to not only
have say in the regulation OF fac

will enable labor to enjoy the full

The pallid brow, and locks of white!
My father! when they laid thee down,
And heap'd the clay upon thy breast
And left thee sleeping all alone
Upon thy narrow couch of rest
know not why, | could not weep,
The soothing drops refused to roll
And oh, that grief is wild and deep
Which settles fearless on the soul!
But when / saw thy vacant chair
Thine idle hat upon the wall
Thy book-the pencilled passage where
Thine eye had rested last OF all
The tree beneath whose friendly shade
Thy trembling feet had wandered forth
The very prints those feet had made,
When last they feebly trod the earth
And thought. while countless ages fled,
Thy vacant seat would vacant stand,
Unworn thy hat, thy book unread,
Effaced thy footsteps from the sand
And widowed in this cherries world,
The heart that gave its love to thee
Torn. like vine whose tendrils curled
More closely round the fallen tree!-
Oh father! then for her and thee
Gushed madly forth the scorching tears
And oft, and long. and bitterly.
Those tears have gush'd in later years
For as the world grows cold around.
And things take on their real hue,
IT'S sad to learn that love is found
Alone above the stars, with you!

Manure made in suInhier wastes
much faster than 1t does in winter.
Tie warm weather hastens its decom-
position. But it is easy to prevent
serious loss by keeping the excrement
piled and so covered with earth that
no ammonia can escape. Where cows
are allowed to lie in the barnyard dur
ing the night, much of their liquid ex-
crement is wasted. All such wastes
detract from the profit of dairying,
when as milk and butter prices now
are, the most must be made of every.
thing to keep the balance on the side
of profit.
