deaths from the disease, occur chiefly
BETWEEN the ages of ifteen and thirty,
'the'tery period when the coming race is
maturing is the period when the dis
ease fastens upon it's victims. In Nor
way recent report shows that over
so per cent of the deaths between the
ages above named occurred from con-
sumption.
We have a monthly illustration Of
the ravages of consumption in this
city. We can form no idea of its
ravages outside the. city because no
statistics are kept, But its rapid in
crease is both noticeable and alarming.
Since the beginning of the year in Ho-
nolulu, there have been so deaths from
plague. During the same period there
have been 79 deaths from consumption.
Consumption has therefore been far
more fatal than plague which we so
much dread, and in combating which
we have spent such enormous sums Of
money. And far from decreasing, the
deaths from this disease show a con-
tinual increase. During the first four
months of 1899, the total number Of
deaths from consumption was 43. The
first four months of 1900 are close on
to double that number.
Viewing all these facts the Board OF
Education would be derelict in it's duty
if It did not take some action looking
towards the protection of those in its
charge. The seeds of the disease are
sown in early youth. Children are ex-
tuberculosis and they should to pro-
tected from infection.
The action of the Board of Educa-
ton is but a detail in the fight against
consumption. The main fight will have
to be taken up by the Board of Health.
The latter, however, can at once
strengthen the hands of the former by
adding consumption to the list of in
fictitious diseases. |
The Home for Incurables will be n
great step in the struggle against COLI
sumption. 1t will take the cases in
their last stages, and will do much
towards curtailing the immense spread
OI the ulS6dSes 'GuI some means Will
have to be found for segregating con-
sumptives in the earlier stages, and
striving to cure the sufferers. 1t is
well known that consumption can be
cured. In the present state of knowl-
edge the cures, so thorough that the
patients can return to work, are some
thing like so per cent. And it seems
probable that with better knowledge
and more experience, a very much
higher percentage may be saved.
When one comes to think of it, a war
which would count it's deaths by the
100000 would be regarded as the Blood
lest ever waged. People would stand
appalled, at the slaughter. But the wal
which consumption wages, does count
it's victims by the 100000 and people
seem to accept it as unavoidable and
inevitable. 1t is neither. With proper
means the frightful march of young
men and young women to the grave
might be arrested. 1t is an honorable
and proper thing for the Board of Edu-
cation to have taken in hand theil
share of work, it is in order for the
Board of Health to give consideration
to the same matter and to let action
take the place of discussion.

A Cooperative Creamery.

The organization of a typical Western
cooperative creamery is very simple, says
w. S. Harwood in the April Atlantic. The
farmers living in a district within which
there are four hundred COWS or more meet
at a convenient farmhouse or town ball,
adopt constitution, and enact by laws.
SO widespread has the cooperative move
ment become, even if unknown to the
country at large, that the farmers are u.s.
ually ready to adopt the standard form of
creamery organization. The best results
seem to be reached in districts of radius
not exceeding five miles, the creamery be-
ing established near railway station and
near the centre of the district. Prospective
members of the organization present at the
meeting pledge the number of COWS from
which they will supply milk. Usually
from thirty to fifty farmers sign the regis
tration agreement. 1t has been found that
capital from two thousand to three
thousand is ample for the average cooper
ative creamery, larger capital being un-
necessary and tending to unsatisfactory
results.
The organization agreement is simple
and clear. 1t sets forth the objects-tO
manufacture butter, though the manufac-
ture of cheese is also provided for, the
manufacture to be at actual cost; names
the officials, as president, secretary, and
SO on; provides for board of directors,
consisting of the officers and three trus-
tees, and this body is also board of audit.
The board Of directors computes the milk
receipts, records the sales, deducts the
running expenses, and sets apart certain
amount, usually five per cent, for a sink
ing fund. On the Goth of each month the
farmers are paid in full for the amount of
butter fat brought to the creamery. The
expenses of every kind for the month hav-
ing been added to the total cost of produc
ing the output, there remains only the
division of the profits.
Al least twice month the milk from the
cans of each farmer is tested as to the
amount of butter fat it contains, and upon
this showing the farmer is credited upon
the books of the secretary. The test also
serves to show if there has been any adul-
teration. Should farmer be found adnl-
terating his milk by water or any other
substance, or should he be found guilty
of skimming it, he is fined; for the first
otfense ten dollars; for the second, twenty
five dollars; while for the third, he
forfeits all interest in the association and
all claims for milk heretofore delivered,
having, of course, sufficient time and
opportunity in which to offer defense.

She is often heard remarking Dear, you

Flu OF American Shipbuilding.

1t seems to be now generally admitted
that in normal circumS ances lS99 being
exceptional in the excess of demand over
supply of iron and steeD, the United
Stats can produce shipbuliding material
at a lower cost than British makers can.
That being 50, there remain only the
factors of applied science and labor. In
the case of the former, American build
ers lack only the experience of the high
class British builders. In the case of the
latter, America has the advantage at pres
ent in the fewer union barraSsments
and in the more generous use of machin-
cry. How long that advantage may last
cannot, of course, be said. but what can
be said by an impartial Briton is that
America does not need Shipping Subsi
dies Bill to enable her to build and to
own a merchant navy worthy her com
merce. She has all the elements within
her own industrial resources, without
dipping into the national purse. Boun-
ties have not helped to any extent either
the shipping or the shipbuilding OF
France, but antiqnated navigation laws
do prevent the natural development OF
America. [Bepjamin Taylor in the En-
gineering Magazine for March.

Strikes in Prosperous Times.

Some strikes, instead of evidencing the
existence of evil industrial conditions,
only serve to make more luminous the
wonderful prosperity of the country ex-
listing at the time of the strike. For in
stance, some 5000 workers in granite
quarries in New England have just gone
on strike. Is it because they have been
ground down to starvation wages? Hard
ly. They have been getting 50 so per
day for day of nine hours. They ask
for $3. SO per day and for day of eight
hours. When Free Trade was the order
OF the day and the country was in the
clutches of the Wilson law, these workers,
most uf them, would have jumped at the
chance to earn ~ so right along for day
OF nine hours. And there were thousands
and tens of thousands of idle men all
over the country who would have been
only too glad to become granite workers
for the sake of such an opportunity But
times are different now. What would
have been held as great good fortune in
Free Trade day is consi cred an injustice
now, when the policy of Protection has
once more started the wheels of industry,
and has brought prosperity to every bust
ness in the country. The granite work
ers would have remained idle long time
10 Wilson law days before they would
have received -. so for a days work of
nine hours at regular employment; but,
to day, with the Dingley law in force,
according to all reports, it seems likely
that settlement will soon be effected by
the agreement on the part Of the owners
OF the granite quarries to pay 81 cents an
hour and to give an eight hour day-that
is, to pay ~. 50 Tor day of eight hours.
In fact, at Barre, Vermont. such a settle
ment has already been effected in the case
of ZOO workmen at that point As a
result there was no strike there. A settle
ment in every ease must be the outcome
within short time. Neither owners nor
employees can afford TO be idle now. when
Dingley law prosperity is making heavy
demands IN every industry. american

being the material used in their copstruc
ton, with all modern furnishings of eouip-
ment and appliances that the times can
supply. And in bringing about this i'm
portant result it is also singular to note
that coal is the influential agency. The
time II as now arrived when the demands
for this product are SO great at the stations
of every part of the world and prices have
been SO enhanced in consequence of this
inordinate demand and the necessity in
almost every country foreign to our own
of drawing upon resources outside their
own limits for this supply, that the carry
ing trade between the far East and the
United States, which has supported great
fleets of steam vessels for many years past
must now be abandoned as improbable,
since these vessels cannot afford to pay
even the present prices asked for coal,
while these conditions are sure to grow
worse and worse for them IN the immedi-
ate future. Already the beginning of the
end is at hand and practical men of large
experience in these affairs do not hest
tate to express the opinion that the
change will be rapid and exceedingly
thorough. Indeed. the relation of this
revolution to the coal carrying trade is
something extremely interesting to note
in connection with commercial matters
and il is more than probable that the
change will extend t. this deparJn ent OF
transportation interests. Hence il is that
there Is prospect to day for revival of
the old time sailing vessel and its employ
ment in the commerce of the world to an
extent never before known. This does
not mean, of course that steam propul-
