those who were not content with an
equal chance in the struggles Of life. and
who have sought in various ways to gain
advantages over others which they have
no natural right to possess 1t would be
tedious to detail the numerous methods
employed to secure those advantages.
In this free country there have grown
up practices which threaten the utter de-
struction Of the competitive principle.
If competition is not to be tolerated what
is to take its place? The effort is to sup
plant it with monopoly or trusts, by COM
bination to control production and dis
tribution, for the purpose of compelling
the payment of prices which will yield
inordinate profit to those who are parties
to the trusts. The combinations are
against consumers and no distinction is
made between necessaries of life and
luxuries.
There Is great deal Of socialism, on
the part Of those especially who are con-
nected with combinations or trusts, and
yet they are oblivious to the fact that
their proceedings are doing more to ad-
vance the cause of socialism than all
the socialist agitators and societies If
competition is to be stricken down there
is no escape firm tyranny except in So
cialism.
Every corporation, every trust, and
every combination is limited socialism;
each is formed to mutually advance the
interest Of the several members to the
injury of outsiders. Those engaged in
trusts and monopolies are pointing out
the way to socialism. What they are
doing among themselves needs only to be
extended SO as to include the whole
people. Trust and monopoly are synon-
ymous, and it has been said that better
than any other word monopoly expresses
the exact idea Of despotism. There is no
security against business robbery ex-
cept through maintenance of the COM
petitive principle or the introduction of
socialism. When trusts and combina-
tions are forever abandoned and there
is no oppression from capitalism there
will be no danger from socialism.

Formerly bells were rung for meals

HOMEMADE FRUIT GLACEs.

OF the 1000 varieties of candies,
fruit glaces are the most expensive
and most popular. But they can be
made Mt home Just as we'll as ut the
factory. There seems to be only one
method, as follows: Take two cupfuls
OF granulatcd sugar and one cupful of
cold water. Pour them into large
bowl and stir them up thoroughly.
DO not stir the sugar and water after
it is on the stove. Put the mixture
on very hot fire, and allow it to boil
until--hcrc is the point-until a
spoonful OF it dropped into cold water
will shatter and fly into tiny pieces
like brittle glass.
This il the crucial test. There
comes only certain stage when the
mixture gives this sign, and immedia.
tely it must be taken of the fire, aud
poured into warm bowls. 1t is well
to have several cups or bowls in the
oven while the mixture of sugar and
water is boiling. Now, quickly plunge
your apricots, your cherries, Your
Tokay grapes or figs into the burning
syrup, and as quickly pull them ont.
Then spread the fruit over tin pans
which have been thinly buttered.
Take care the butter be not too thick,
else the candies may SAVIOR Of it. FL
nally, lay the tin pans with the fruit
away in an ice cold place, or in the
open air on winters day. When the
fruit glaces are cold, they are all ready
for Miss Flora McFlimsey and her
schoolgirl friends. The whole operation
should not take over half nn hour, and

thing very remarkable. They claim they
have seen In some out-of-the-way nook OF
the Pamir, tribes who are still flre-worship-

life. The men OF these tribes, and even
their animals, are OF very small proportions,
the bulls and cows being no larger than a
European foal, the donkeys about the size OF
large dog, and the sheep about the size OF
small poodle. The use of money IL un-
known to them. and their only trade consists
in the bartering OF furs. Women are bought
ut the rate OF ilve or six cows or fifteen sheep
apiece. The people are very timid. and ON
