Trade Monopolies That Were Almost Saw
age In Their Operation.
Apprentices became no better than
serfs and slaves. They were not merely
pitilessly fined and brutally punished,
they were often left i'll ignorance of the
craft that they had purchased the right
to learn. In that frjghtful social and
moral revulsion following the long and
devastating wars of the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries tho corporations
became more determined than ever to
maintain their industrial aristocracy
and monopoly. They refused to admit
any trade less ancient and honorable
than their own to tho rights and privi-
leges of the law; they soiled themselves
by contact with no person Of iIlegiti-
mate birth; and in their savage and re-
lentless pursuit of persons engaged in
unauthorized traffic they invaded the
homes of contraband workmen, confis-
eating both their tools and the hidden
products of their toll, leaving them and
their families destitute and starving.
10 such absurd lengths was the crea-
ton of corporations carried for the pro-
duction of new taxes and new places for

teaching OF dancing, the selling of flow
crs and the catching of birds were or
ganized, and homogeneous occupations
like tho hatmakers' and carpenters
were divided and subdivided beyond the
comprehension of the modern mind.
But despite the ingenuity of lawyers
and the vigilance of armies of inspect
ors the lines of demarcation could not
be drawn SO sharply as to avoid con-
flicts of interests. The makers Of felt
hats quarreled with tho makers Of cot
ton hats. Tho spinners who had pur-
chased the right to use hemp quarreled
with those that had purchased the right
to use flax. Tho shoemakers fought
with the cobblers that reproduced more
than thirds of an old shoe. The cut
lers that mado the handles of knives
fought with those that made the blades.
The relations Of the makers of wooden
porringers and the makers of wooden
spoons wero equally belligerent. =

81 have always read, and always

young author, "what literary men had
to say concerning their habits of work.
In many cases productiveness appears
to depend upon mood-sometimes q
man can write and sometimes he can't,

sort of work, no doubt, better than
when he is out Of condition, but man
may DO mistaken i'll himself / find
that it is good thing to make begin

"Oftcn the mere effort of making q
beginning is enough to dispel clouds
that had seemed to be heavy, but which
are shown to be mere films, and ono
touch of concentration is enough to
bring back fancies that you had thought
were wandering far from home, but
were really loafing about right near,

And manhood all creeds above, @s%sS
OR the dear. green earth In her beauty 81
And the dewy glory of love,
But the sweetest, tcnderest chord he gave
Was the requiem poured DER his lost
loves grave.
Then life was but futile longing
And earth but II beautcous tomb
But songs through the silence wero
thronging.
And glory dwelt in the gloom
And sorrow. the harper skilled and strong
From the breaking heart drew its sweet
est song.
When thy, grief had heavenward striven
IN melody trembling to prayer,
DID thy Mary remember in heaven
Her love by the braes of Ayr?
We know not, but earth that heard thee
sing
Must cherish thy song to her latest spring.
Deep heart so lavish In loving! Es;.a
oh. hayward and broken heart!
AS safe from our shallow reprovinE
AS deaf to our praise thou art
Yet thy song shall thrill us while love
shall last
And thy sorrow move us till death be nast

HER REFORMED DIET,
Mrs. Newlight Makes a Series of Astound
ing Discoveries.

ing Discoveries.
''It's just awful how criminally ig-
norant I've been regarding our food"
said Mrs. Newlight to her husband the
other day. 81 can never be thankful
enough that joined Professor Scarem's
class in domestic science. My It's
wonder we're not all dead, ignorant as
I've been. There's one thing sure,
George Newligh -there'll be no moro
tomatoes on my teble.'' -.
"Why?"
because Professor Scarem explained
to us today how tomatoes cause mark
cd arrest of vital activity in those who
eat them, and he proved that the acid
of tomatoes acts almost like n poison OH
the membrane of the stomach. Then
I'm done with any berries that have
seeds in on my table," $50.
I'D like to know why?''
You wouldn't ask if you d heard tho
professors talk on appendicitis and its
cause. A single dish of raspberries or
strawberries may bring OIL that awful
trouble. It's fearful to think of the risks
people will run just to crafty the palate
And here we've always allowed our
children to have sugar and cream Oh
their oatmeal!'
'What of it?'
"Well, you'd say What of it?' if Won
could hear tho professor explain how tho
combination of oatmeal and cream and
sugar causes dreadful gases to arise in
the stomach and utterly retarls diges-
ton. I've not the slightest doubt that
the awful spasm our little Mamie had
last year was due entirely to this cause.
Then there's bananas. Why, George
Newlight, they're simply rank poison!
And you'll get no moro white bread at
my table"
''Why not?''
because there's no moro nutrition in
it than there would be in bread made
out of pure starch. Every bit of the nu-
tritive clement has been refined out of
it. 1t makes those who eat it thin blood
ed"
"Do look thin bloodcd or as if 1
lacked nutrition?" asked Newlight, who
weighs 100.
"That doesn't signify. You don't
know what day you'll begin to break
down under such bread. Well have
nothing but graham OF whole wheat
flour hereafter. And I've done with
coffee too. If you could see and hear
Professor Scarem demonstrate just how
poisonous it is to the whole human sys-
tenn you'd shun it as you shun opium.
He says that cocoa shells is the only
real safe warm drink
''I'd as soon drink dishwater," said
Newlight.
You'd better drink dishwatcr than
your poisonous coffee. If you'd only
take little time to study domestic sci
enco and look into this food business IL
little, it would be good thing for Your
health and tho health of your family
There's II lot moro things we've been
jcopardizing our lives by eating i'll our
criminal ignorance, and I'm going to
cut all of them off our list"
And she did, which is tho reason that

A Veteran of Veterans

In the early part Of 1851 there was l;v-
ing in Chicago q man who was born four
years after Washington came into the
world, played Il part in the celebrated
tea-bOX episode in Boston harbor i'll 1913
fought throughout the two great wars
and was prisoner of the Indians FOR
more than q year and half. Such was
the record of David Kinnison. who died
in Chicago in the year above named A
native of old Kingston, Rhode Island,
when he heard of the tea business az
Boston, Kinnison went there with some
of his neighbors, and was one of the most
active in the throwing overheard Of thc
tea. Then he shouldered a musket in Inc
war which followed, and never quit until
the conflict was over. When the second
war with England commenced Kinnii-on
went to the front again, though &c years
of age. In addition to these exploits Kin
nison married three times, had twenty
eight children, learned to read when 90
and earned his own living until within
four years of his death, which event
took place when he was 11J years of
age. There ought to be monument for
Il
