Cost Of living and Wages.
ROktOn Post.

The cost on commodities in general
advanced between 20 and 80 per
cent. last year, while in only a few
occupations was there an advance in
wages, and in those few the increase
was not Is per cent. on the average.
"The purchasing power of the great
majority OF the American people out
side the agricultural classes" says the
United States Investigator in a dis.
cussion of the situation, ais no larger
to-day than it was year ago. Take
lawyers, doctors, ministers, teachers,
editors and reporters, accountants,
clerks in banks and offices, stenog.
raphers and typewriters. statesmen in
stores and on the road, and many
other classes. Have their incomes in.
creased? If they have not, it is an
important matter. These people
really constitute the class which
makes the prosperity Of the country
the class to which neither attaches
poverty nor riches. Are they in q
position to stand an advance of be-
tween 20 and 80 per cent. in the cost
OF living? This is a question any
householder can answer for himself.
1t stands to reason that il steel and
iron have advanced so per cent. he is
not going to buy what steel and iron
products he needs at anything like old
prices. II he wears the same kind OF
clothes he did last season he has got
to pay higher prices for them, as
textiles have advanced SO per cent.
If his wife goes out to buy stockings
for his children she finds that she
must give more than formerly, 40 per
cent. in some cases. With lumber 80
per cent. higher than a year ago, he,
of course cannot expect to get his
carpentering done as cheaply as before.
Drugs and chemicals are higher, con-
sequently it will be necessary to keep
himself and his family as cheap as
possible. These are but a few in
stances OF the enhanced cost OF living"
What is to be the outcome OF the
situation? Evidently, either wages
must 60 up higher or the price of
commodities must fall. 1t is more
likely that the latter will be the
solution. A good many fictitious and
temporary causes have operated to
advance prices-trust combinations,
the tariff, war taxes-and these can
not continue forever. But mean.
time the fallacy that prosperity is
measured by the rate of wage dollars
and cents is one that every man who
works for living should refuse to be-

AGED BEAUTIES.

History is full of accounts of the
fascination of women who were no
longer young. Thus Helen of Troy
was over 40 when she perpetrated the
most famous elopement on record, and
as the siege of Troy lasted a decade,
she could not have been very juvenile
when the i'll fortune of Paris restored
her to her husband, who is reported to
have received her with unquestioning
love and gratitude.
Pericles welded the lovely Aspasia
when she was sc, and yet she after
ward, for 80 years or more, welded an
undiminished reputation for beauty.
Cleopatra was past 30 when Antony
fell under her spell, which never less.
ened until her death, nearly ten years
after. And Livia was 33 when che
won the heart Of Augustus, over whom
she maintained her ascendency to the
last.

more accurately, we have the extraor-

Henry II, then duke OF Orleans and
Just half her age, beca me attached to

Anne of Austria was described as
the handsomest queen of Europe, OF

Aluminium Clock Hands.

Aluminium is now used in making
clock hands, for which it is an ideal
material. The pointers of great clocks
were formerly made of soft wood, says
an exchange. For these were substi.
tuted pointers made of thin sheets of
copper, a pointer being composed Of
two strips, which were cupped or hol.
lowed, and then brought together
edge to edge, with the rounded sides
out, thus giving rigidity as we'll as
lightness. Aluminium pointers fol-
big clocks are made in this way, but
they are far lighter and easier to
balance.
1t is not unusual, on large clocks in
windows and elsewhere, to see pro.
jecting from the base of the long
pointer and in line with the rod with

How to Drink Water.
Hamilton Times.

Prof. Silkham says there are few
people who thoroughly realize the
value of water as beverage, or who
know how to obtain the greatest ad.
vantage from it. The effects produced
by the drinking Of water vary with the
manner in which it is drunk. If, for
instance, q pint of cold water be swal.
lowed in large draught, or if it BE-
taken in two portions with short in
terval between, certain definite results
follow-effects which differ from those
which would have followed if the
same quantity were taken by slipping.
Slipping is a powerful stimulant to the
circulation, thing which ordinary
drinking is not. During the action OF
slipping, the action of the nerve which
slows the beats of the heart is abol.
ished, and, as consequence, that or
gan contracts much more rapidly, the
pulse heats more quickly aud the cir
culation in various parts of the body
is increased. In addition to this, we
find that the pressure under which
the bile is secreted is raised by the sip.
ping fluid.
And here is q point which might
we'll be noted by our readers: A glass
OF cold water slowly slipped will pro.
duce greater circulation of the pulse
for time than will glass of wine or
spirits taken at draught. In this
connection it may not be out OF place
to mention that slipping cold water
will often allay the craving for alcohol
in those who have been in the habit
of taking too mnch of it and may be
endeavoring to reform, the effect be-
ing probably due to the stimulant ac-
ton of the slipping.

HIS TRUNK IS STILL THERE
And Mary Annals Daddy" Still Regrets Usin
Phrase that Had Two MEANINGS.


William Frederick Allen was in love
with Mary Anna Jenkins, and was un.
happy when not in her company.
When he began to call upon her it
was only on Friday nights, and he
never staid later that 10. Then he
began to come on Monday nights also.
Later he added Sunday afternoon to
his list, and so on until he was liable
to drop in at the Jenkins residence
every evening in the week, besides
spending every afternoon there.
Mr.. Jenkins, Mary Annals father,
watched with growing anger the in
creasing frequency of Mr.. Aliens calls,
and often expressed his mind on the
subject to the wife Of his bosom, but
she silenced him with the convincing
query: "Would you like Mary Anna
to die an old maid?"
Notwithstanding this, Mr.. jenkins
was rarely civil to the young man, for
he did not like him, and he was more
than ever on the point Of saying some-
thing to him which, in all probability
he would have regretted later.
One day. however, Mr.. Jenkins
could restrain himself no longer.
William Frederick had not omitted to
call single night for nearly three
weeks, and had been at the house on
six afternoons in a week. After Mary
Anna had dismissed her admirer she
turned and confronted her papa. He
made great effort to be calm and
said, with what he intended to be cut
ting sarcasm:
Hadn't that young man of yours
better bring his trunk?"
Instantly Mary Anna threw her
arms around her fathers neck and
kissed him impulsively.
go! You dearest, sweetest, best
father in all the world" she cried,
"you don't know how happy you
make me-"
What" gasped the old man.
"And William will be happy, too,
when tell him." she went on, nearly
strangling her parent with her enthu.
siastic hugs.
"W-what's that"
"You see, papa, it's just this way.
Dear Billy is the best fellow in the
world, but he isn't we'll off, and we
couldn't for the life OF us see how we
could 60 to housekeeping; but your
kind suggestion that he bring his
trunk has solved all the difficulties.
Well stay right with you, father dear,
when we are married. o! You are
the best daddy in creation. I'll 20
and tell mamma and we'll decide on
the wedding day right away"
Mr.. Jenkins attempted to speak,
but she had gone, and the next he
heard was that the wedding would
take place in about two weeks. II he
had any opinions on the subject they
were mental ones, for he was not al.
lowed to express them orally, and the
affair came off as planned.
His son.in-law and family are still
living living with him.

OUR PLAIN DUTY.
What the Oresonian Said in 1898 Regarding the
Holding Of the Philippine Islands.

Holding Of the Philippine Islands.
When the question of holding the
Philippine Islands first came up in
1898, the Oregoniam printed the fol-
lowing editorial. which is to this day
endorsed by all citizens OF this coun-
try who desire to see justice done and
who have not been carried away by
the false but glowing pictures OF reck-
less commercial adventurers. The Or.
sgonian said:
Already we are in one of the grav-
est perils of war-the clamor of terri
torial aggrandizement. The fever Of
conquest once in the blood is a raging
poison hard to allay. We have no
further rightful use for the Philip
pines than as base of present opera
tions and hostage pending final set
tlement. A coaling station let US re-.
tain there, but our professions in this
war debar us from retention of even
Cuba, which is more naturally within
our scope than the Philippines. If
the war is prolonged, we shall certain
ly see rapid growth of vehement de-
mand for acquisition of territory we
should not take. 1t may he strong
enough to turn the scales of Presi.
dental election.
"Such an outcome would be in
every way to be regretted. If we do
not want Cuba, much less do we want
the Philippines. There is doubt as to
the unfitness for self-government
charged against the Cubans; but there
is no doubt of it as far as the inhabit.
ants of the Philippines are concerned.
All the arguments urged against Ha-
waiian annexation by thoughtless
Americans are applicable with greater
force against these tropical Asiatic
islands, and they are not met, as the
Hawaiian arguments are met, by the
fact that Hawaii is in our rightful
sphere of influence and essentially
American, for the Philippines are not.
Our ends in Cuba will be observed as
they are in Mexico, Central and South
America, by withdrawal of European
domination and by recognition of our
hegemony. This will even suffice
with Hawaii if annexation fails. But
in the case of the Philippines we have
no such necessities or interests. Euro
pean possession in Asia concerns us
nothing except that we have fair trade
facilities. We have there no purpose
of offence or defense. At the most, a
naval and coaling station should be
the limit of our desire there.
ave are not about to enter on ca
reer OF foreign conquest, but our posi-
ton in the world requires us to have
naval stations distant from our own
shores. We need u naval station in
the East Indies, another in the West
Indies; and we need Hawaii. All
these the fortune of opportunity now
offers to us. We do not want to keep
the Philippine islands, but we
should keep naval station there"
