discussion Of this phase OF building
construction by Mr.. Peter Fyfe,
chief sanitary inspector at Glasgow.
Mr.. Fyfe says: IA healthy house
must, firstly, be dry in every part;
secondly, it must be able to be thor
oughly cleansed throughout, and,
thirdly, it should leave no facilities
within the four walls for the harbor-
ing of infective or other dust"
The protection against dampness
is mainly to be found in the work
of the mason, and, unless real
damp proof course is put in the
walls or if damp site is not pro-
tected by layer of concrete or as
phalt, the work of the joiner be-
comes seriously affected. Not only
wood, but also bricks when exposed
to dampness, become the prey of
fungi and molds, producing rotten
ness and disintegration.
Many sites which seem dry and
comfortable to the eye may dis
charge large quantities of ground
air into cellars and similar spaces,
owing to the rise and fall of ground
water beneath.
This ground air contains large
proportion of moisture and speedily
causes decay and possibly disease.
One point especially emphasized
by Mr.. Fyfe is the reprehensible
practice of covering up damp walls
and partitions with woodwork, and
thus endeavoring to conceal the evil
which instead should be eradicated.
Among the various obnoxious
dustholes Mr.. Fyfe is especially se-
we're upon the inclosed lofts and roof
spaces so common in many houses,
more particularly those having
peaked or sloping roofs. These
spaces form storehouses, not only of
microbes, but also of close, stuffy
and contaminated air, and are often
constructed without openings for
light or NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. un-
der which cleaning is an utter inn
possibility.
The sliding sash window also
comes i'll for a share of condemna-
tion. Here we have long, hollow
box for the weights, which in time
becomes dust chamber, and one
peculiarly situated in the direct line
of the air supply to the room. 1t
must not be overlooked that through
the chinks left all around our win
dows the large proportion of the
fresh air to the room enters, and
incoming air should not, if practical
BILE, be caused to pass through or
over any chambers or hollows where
dust and dirt, to say nothing of fun
gold growths, are permitted to
lodge"
Another place for the lodgment
of dirt is the picture molding, now
SO generally found in residences,
nailed around the wall to permit the
hanging of pictures without the ne
cessity of driving nails into the plas-
ter. This forms a very comfort
able situation from which myriads
of microbes may select their time
for pcuncing down on the unsus-
picious tenant In 80 cases out of

No "CRINESE VAIN

In 1896 we heHrd much about that
"Chinrse wall that protection would
plac" around thi country. But, like
all Democratic predictions and asser-
tiuns, time and experience prove the
absurdity of the contention. Trade
reports show that this country il do
ing an immense export business, both
of farm and factory products.
In n of his speeches on his west
ern trip President Mckinley briefly
referred to the changed condition OF
our trade ms follows:
In 1895 we sent 500, O00, 900 worth
of American products abroad In ex-
cess al what we bought abroad and
S5lD. COG, 900 in lN99-all of which was
paid To the American people and
helped furnish pay to American labor.
Ten years ago we imported 49,
O00, 900 pounds of tin plate from the
other side. Last year we imported
100, OOl, 900 pounds and manufactured
ut home more than SO0, 900, 900 pounds
Of that product. We not Ouly prac-
tically supply our own market. but
we are beginning To export tin plate.
In 1884 we sent abroad American
locomotives valued at ~. 200, 900. In
1899 we sent abroad American loco
motives valued at 81, 400, 900. Our
trade IL not only growing at home,
but it il growing abroad"
The above is a remarkable show
ing, especially as to the tin platepro.
ductiun. I'm 1896 it was strongly
maintained by the opposition that
this country could not manufacture
tin plate and regarded such "A propo.
siti II as a standing joke. In the
light of the above statement, sup
ported by the figures. the joke be-
comes IA very serious matter to for
eign competitors in the markets Of
the world.

lABOR'S SHARE or PROSPERITY.

The American Protective rarifi
League has just published the result
OF its canvass of 1857 establishments
to ascertain how arthcgcneralp pros
perity of the country had reached
American w~agc-enrners. These es-
Establishments reported II gain of I5,-
754 In the number Of hands employed
last March over those employed in
the same establishments in March,
1885,, seven months after the enact
ment ri the Wilson tariff. The fol
lowing table shows in II most con
densed form the story of how wage
earncrs are sharing in the revival of
iIdu, trial activity:

1t il difficult to say which feature
in this table ought to be the subject
for the widest national felicitattoh-
the number employed or the higher
wages paid. For our part the iact
that nearly 40 per cent more persons
have employment in 1857 establish
ments now than in March, 1872
seems Of far greater benefit to the
country than the fact that the III
creased number is receiving 10Y per
cent more wages per capita than the
reduced forces received four years
ago. 1t means that $3.50 is being
nut in circulation at these ESTABLISH

IL will bc recalled that, as stated
some three weeks ago, the new
school house, tho completed and
ready for occupancy, has not been
opened for use owing tn differences
which existed between the board and
bondsmen, u greater amount having
been expended on the building than
called for by contract.
The board some two weeks ago

noted there has been paid out or
now due over AMI above the original

board believes the bundsmen are re-

tircly willing to meet any just obl!-

STILL IN CONFERENCE.
No Agreement Reached on the Dis
trict Appropriation Bill.

The conferees on the District of CO.
lumbia appropriation bill reported their
inability to agree. Mr.. Grout of Vermont
reported that the Senate conferees had
stated that they never would agree to the
electric light instructions of the House
The conferees of the latter had therefore
felt constrained to report to the House for
further instructions.
Mr. Hopkins of Illinois asked whether
Mr.. Grout did not think that better prog
| ress would be reached with other con-
ferees. AS he remembered the facts, Mr..
Grout really agreed with the Senate's po-
sition. Mr.. Grout grew indignant and de-
clared that he did not favor the Senate
proposition.
Mr.. Cannon asked whether an agree
| ment could be reached on the basis of
striking out all electric provis .ons. Mr..
Grout stated that such proposition had
| been made. but that the Senate had re-
fused. He thought the Senate would agree
to 10 cents per incandescent light. il the
provision of per cent on the gross earn
| ings OF the companies were stricken out.
Mr.. Babcock stated that the instructions
had been drawn after fun study and with
abundant knowledge of the e!ectric light
business. He said that the Senate was
