open the mail in the morning, sort out
the papers from the various States and
cities and file them, and they could
also wait upon visitors, procuring for
them their favorite home papers, and
refiling them after the visitors had read
them. Seems like a wild idea, does 1t
not, when one considers that possibly
ton or a ton and a half of papers
and magazines would have to be
handled each day, but it would be an
attractive feature, for thousands OF

Experieuce VS., Theory.

Eds Record Union: I have been
considerably amused by reading what
some self sufficient persons (who are
opposed to a water supply from subter-
ranean sources) have had to say lately
against the effort to obtain water from
deep wells east of the city. The ex-
periences Of practical men should, in my
opinion, have more weight than the
guesswork of these wiseacres.
About eighteen years ago a promi-
nentS well-borer of this city told me
that there was one strip of ground run
ming through what is now Oak Park,
or it's vicinity, in which he would refuse
to bore any more wells. 1e said that
whenever he undertook to bore al we'll
along that strip he always lost his bor-
ing tools. After reaching a certain
depth-whieh I do not now remember
the auger entered what was apparently
an open waterway. or channel, and his
tools invariably dropped into it end
of course were not recovered.
The well-borer assured me that he
had lost several sets of tools in that
way, and was firmly convinced that
there was an open water channel run
ming southwark through that locality.
Here is the statement of a practical
-borer against the dogmatic asser-
lions of men who are in total ignorance
of what there is or is not to be found
beneath the surface of the ground. The
well-borer referred to left Sacramento
many years ago. There was not then
any agitation regarding the procure
ment of city water in that locality, and
the Oak Park section embraced only
ranches
Would it not be in better taste for
men who wish to be regarded as a little
above the average in intelligence not to
hurriedly commit themselves on sub
jects Of which they have only super
fetal ideas and no knowledge whatever?

1t is said that a man does not stop
to think when the order comes in bat
tie to charge, but just ducks his head
and goes forward in a sort of wild
trance. Certainly something of that
sort fell upon Private A. A. Smith, the
cook of Company X Of the Colorado
regiment, in the Philippines. He had
gone out to the lines to try to provide
the men of his company with some
breakfast when the order to charge
was given. He had nothing in his
hand but large spoon, which he had
been using to dish out the beans, but
he dashed ahead with the other men.
The element Of comedy disappeared
when he found gun beside the dead
body of one Of the enemy and, ap-
propriating it, did good execution. His
comrades have not yet ceased to cele-
brate his famous charge with the bean
spoon, and they are right. The action
of the cook showed that he was made
of the stuff of which heroes are manu-,
factured. The war in the far east has
been prolific in incidents which go tc
show that the average man in this
country is Of good material.

A new indictment has been found
against the rubber tired buggy wheel.
In Pittsburg a young man who was
held in $4,000 bail on the charge of en-
bezzlement said in extenuation Of the
crime: ''It's all the fault of that plaguy
rubber tired buggy Of mine. 1t would
take bank presidents salary to keep
it in repair" When bicycle tire is
punctured, it is bad enough. The ex-
plosion Of a buggy tire is a much more
serious matter. AS for the big tires
Of the automobile cabs, they make q
noise like cannon when they let go.
One Of them exploded the other day,
frightening a horse so badly that he
bolted and jumped into a rathskeller,
smashing chairs and tables and almost
choking peaceful German by causing
him to swallow his glass of beer "the
wrong way" Still, even this is not so
serious as the insinuation that rubber
tired wheels are a direct incentive to
dishonesty.

Canada seems to have made good use
Of the Halifax award Of $500, 900
paid by the United States, having de-
voted it to fishing bounties. The latest
Dominion report Of the department Of
marine and fisheries shows that from
1882 to 1897 Canada has paid $2,521,-
900 in fishing bounties, while the catch
in the last year recorded in the report,
that Of 1897, was the largest in the
history Of the department, being Of the
value Of $22, ,783,546, the bounty upon
which was $157,5O4. Germany also is
now preparing to develop the fishing
fleets Of the Baltic and North seas and
has spent some 100000 in opening
up fishing harbors. In France in 1897
the sum Of $124,187 was spent upon
fishing vessels, and Japan last year
voted SIS, 1000 per annum to develop its
deep sea fisheries.

One Day For Rest.

4 The Massachusetts bureau Of labor,
statistics has lately made a careful in
sQuiry into the amount Of Sunday labor
now performed in that commonwealth
1t finds that Of 1,O75, 900 persons en-
gagged in gainful occupations probably
10000 are expected to labor on Sun
day. OF these about two-thirds are en-
gagged in domestic service. The manu-
factories of the state, which employ
one-hatf Of the working population.
perform practically no Sunday work
whatever. Mercantile business makes
almost as good showing. 1t is only
in news and transportation, service
that the proportion Of men employed
on Sundays is large or increasing.
The newspaper offices canvassed re-
port that of the 1920 persons employed
by them S11 work on Sundays, though
generally for shorter hours. The tele-
phone and telegraph companies report
that their working force is 443 on Sun
days as against 2,1S5 on weekdays.
The express companies employ 305
persons on Sunday as against Its dur
ing the week. The railroad and street
railroad companies, however, perform
the great body Of the Sunday work.
On the steam railroads the average
number Of persons employed on Sun
days is now 6,71S as against 27,4SO on
weekdays, and on the street railways
it is 8,2S2 on Sundays as against only
1926 during the week. On the street
railways nine hours generally consti-
tute a days work on Sundays as
against ten on weekdays, but there Is
no regular rest day for the men who do
Sunday work, and one can be obtained
only, with loss Of pay, on application
to the management.
Similar conditions exist in most 9th
er states, though perhaps in larger de-
gree, and the matter Of Sunday work
Is one that should receive attention,
not necessarily on account of it's re-
ligious aspect, but from an economic
point Of view. In no branch Of indus
try should men be required to work
seven days consecutively. If necessi-
ty requires that they should work on
Sunday, they should be permitted to
have some other day for rest. State
legislatures should stipulate that char
tered corporations should give their
employees one free day in every seven.

It is not many years ago that farm
ers in the west were compelled to burn
corn for fuel. Railroad freight rates
were. so high that there was no profit
in sending the crop to market, and corn
was used as substitute for wood
and coal. This season the farmers Of
Kansas have the largest corn crop in
the history Of that state, and, in spite
Of the low price Of corn as compared
with 20 years ago, every bushel Of the
crop will be marketed that the grow
ers see fit to spare. Reduced freight
rates have made this possible, and, as
has been experienced before, the rail.
road companies as well as the farmers
will profit as the result.

Can Have q Horse If He Wants 1t.

Can Have a Horse If He Wants 1t.
A correspondent of New York pa
per recently suggested that Admiral
Dewey should ride horse in the land
parade in his honor in that city, so
that the people would have better
opportunity to see him. The paper
then proceeds to have lots of fun with
the correspondent and says, ''The in
congruity of placing sailor on horse
should be apparent at once"
There is nothing at all incongruous
about it.. Nothing pleases an ''old salt"
SO well when he gets ashore as to be-
stride horse. The old vikings, whom
many Americans can count among
their ancestors, were famous riders of
'*barbed steeds" as well as Of the
"steeds Of the sea-" as they called their
swift ships, and the "Heimskringla"
makes frequent illusions to the fact.
Not few Of the naval officers in the
civil war, and probably in the later
war as we'll, often took a change for
land service, and the cavalry was
usually their choice.
Although other arrangements have
been made for him, if the hero of Ma
Mia wants horse, a horse he should
have, and it's dollars to doughnuts that
there'd be no equine shipwreck.
