If all the members OF organized
labor who have been nominated for
the Indiana legislature by the two
leading parties should be successful,
labor would have a larger represen-
tation at the coming session than was
ever the case in any State legislature.
So far as known there are two can
didates in Marion county, with almost
n certainty that there will be two
more; two in Madison county; two In
Delaware county; one in Floyd

The heaviest failures during the first
six months of this year were those OF
speculative and brokerage concerns
which never added much to the wealth
or worth Of the country. Omitting their
twenty-eight millions of debt, the
average defaulted liability" to each
failure was ten thousand three hun
bred and eighty-flve dollars, which Is
about sixty-five hundred dollars less
than the average liability last year.
and, in fact, is the lowest average re-
corded in 26 years.

Cheap Living This.

To have twenty children to support
Is enough to make the strongest man
faint at heart, but to do so upon $1.3O
a day and even less seems an impossl-
bility. Such has been the problem
with which Henry Moore of this place
has been confronted and has solved,
says a Monroe Falls (O) special to the
Louisville Commercial. Death has cut
the number down to sixteen living
children.
Mrs. Moore gives the following
chronological list of her offspring: No
rah, 90; Bertha, 81; Lucy, 20; John.
10; Harry, II; Della, Is; Hazel. 10;
Maud, IA; Deffany, IL dead; Frank,
II; Amos, 10; Charley, 9 dead; Aus
tin, s; Isaac, G.; Roger, 5; Eveline, 4;
Russell, 8; Chester, (dead), and the
baby boy, two weeks old. The family
not being large enough, little one
named Bernice, aged 8, was adopted.
At present two Of the children are not
at home. Norah was married two
weeks ago and Bertha is in Akron. Mr..
Moore says:
Yes, have found 1t little close to
bring up family on $1.30 per day, and
even s1.2O; but managed it. l go to
Akron and buy my corn and flour by
wholesale. 1t takes a snug sum to
shoe my family. l usually buy my
shoes in dozen lots, and the last mer-
chant l purchased of threw in a shoe

easier My. boy gets nearly as much

Every one in the family is insured, and

H. w. Foster, superintendent OF

utes an interesting article in the In
dependent on physical Education VS..
Degeneracy." Your farm boy, ne
writes has responsibilities placed upon
him, and his judgment Is cultivated.
He must rise early enough to get his
chores done before school; he must
get back and attend to them after

work to get it done in time. He must
feed iudiciously, he must milk clean,
so that the cows shall not go dry. he

cause he finds in himself power TO 40.

familiarity betwixt mind and things,
which Bacon so aptly stated to be the
object of education. Nowadays IL Is
hard to find for the city boy endur-

There is no more saving and splitting
of wood; the family garden Is not SO
much in evidence, the COW with her
barefoot driver is little seen In the
outer streets; the furnace provides
few ashes to be removed daily, but IL
warns the house throughout and there
is no more endurance of the old,sting-
ing cold. Comfortable school houses
are provided, and it is aimed to nave
the boy sit quietly for five or SIX hours
day. What an education may be
here in laziness and responsibility!
Manual training has been said to be
the great triumph of the new educa-
ton. Labor is dignified, the body is
set to work, eye and hand and brain
together. Acquaintance is made with
physical difficulties to be overcome.
Judgment is cultivated. 1t develops

tions, its over-exercise of the too exu-
berant. or further opportunity for
physical resting of the lazy. Those
who have charge of masses OF children,
as they come from all sorts of homes,
are impressed by the bad physical con-
dition of an extremely large part OF
them. They come ill-fed, even from
the homes of the well-to-do. They
come with narrow, sunken chests, and
projecting shoulder blades. Very lit

been brought to light in the Jewish
world, concerning the number Of Jew
ish suicides in the United States. 1t
appears that in 113 days no fewer than
66S Jews out of 100000 killed them
selves. In England the proportion
averages eight in 100000. In Russia
81. In Austria sixteen in 100000. No
reason is suggested for Jews in free
country wishing to make away with
themselves at such rate.

upon the toes, and the sides of the
feet, causing corns and bunions to ap-

These evils accrue to the ordinary
foot. The fat man or woman who re-
sorts to low shoes will suffer more Sc
rious results. The increased weight
thrown upon the ankles aggravates the
ordinary evils, and in addition the
flesh of the foot is pushed up over the
shoe.
The ankles not having their proper
support the knees, legs and back suffer
in turn. A tired feeling is replaced by
aches and general lassitude, which is
directly attributable to the uncomfort'
