The Man and the Machine.

In 1S40 an operative in the cotton
mills Of Rhode Island, working 13 and
IA hours day, turned out 5000 yards
of standard sheeting in year. In 1886
the operative in the same mill, with
machinery, made 10000 yards, working
10 hours a day. The displacement of
hand labor in some of the cotton mills
of the United States, from 1910 to 1890,
by improved machinery, was from SO to
80 per cent, and the average work of
one operative, working one year, would
in 1890 supply the annual wants Of ], 900
fully clothed Chinese. Among the minor
industries, in the manufacture Of jew
elry, one skilled workman, paid at the
rate Of $3.50 to So day, and working
according to ante-machine methods in
use few years ago, could make up
three dozen pairs Of sleeve buttons a
day. Now one boy, paid 50 week, and
working with modern machinery, can
produce 5000 pairs a day. In Adam
Smiths day it was considered a won
derful achievement for 10 men to make
$4,000 pins in day, but now three men
make 100000 of vastly superior
quality in the same time.-David A.

q large shipper can get no lower rates

sound to an English reader, or to one
who has lived in Japan, the object in
both countries being to make as much
out Of the unfortunate traveller as pos
sible. and to hamper him with all kinds
of petty restrictions! The building Of
railways in new. Zealand is largely
question Of popular vote, and the min
lister of the department fixes the rates.
All these reforms were introduced in
1890 by an overwhelming vote Of the
people Previous to 1890 considerably
more than half of the best land In New
Zealand was in the hands of a few men,
most Of whom lived abroad. The great
masses of the people we're landless and
homeless They were forbidden to set,
their feet upon many of these wide
tracts, laid out for sheep raising and so
inclosed as to make the land of many
small farmers valueless. The government
condemned the vast tracts, paying their
owners for them. Then began the build
ing of public roads, railways and other
public works through these lands, giving
all idle men in the colony work, and en-
couraging them to build homes along
the roads they worked upon. In this
way the people have recovered their
lands, settled upon them and are rid of
the hated contract system. The state,
in turn, was rewarded with good roads,
railways and other public works, and
as being worth more than sheep, which
is more than can be said of most coun-
tries.

ISLAM REvIvING. !

Sultan Finds That the PropRex Ha.
7e,oOO, 900 Followers. -
It may come to many like revelation
t. flnd that tho Turkish government. or
perhaps it might be more correct to say
the sultan, has been engaged in collect
ing statistics showing the Mussulman
population in various parts of the world.
The result has Just been published, and
in the dominions under the personal rule
OF the sultan the Mussulmans are stated
at 18,000,O00; while in the contiguous
states and territories in Asia, including
Persia, Afghanistan, Beloochistan, India,
Russia, Turkestan and China, their num-
bers are estimated at 100000 ,OOO Africa,
where the Mohammedan religion has
made great strides in the last half of
the century, is credited with 36, soc, 900
followers of the Prophet, and 23, ,O0O, 900
are described as inhabiting other coun-
tries and the islands of the Eastern
seas. 1t does not appear that the total
of these figures, 176,500,O00 is exagger-
ated, as recent estimates have placed
the Mussulman population of the world
at close upon 200,000,000.. The Islamic
world, however, is divided religiously
into sections, the vast majority being
Sunnis, and the minority, principally in
Persia, being Shiahs, who hold more or
less aloof from the Sunnis, of whom the
sultan Of Turkey Is the nominal head as
caliph of Islam. The Mussulman popu-
lation of India under the political rule
of the British government, and in the
native states, may be set down in round
numbers as nearly 60,000,000. BY far the
greater part Of these are Sunnis. Con-
Meeting the two important facts OF the
comparative energy with which the sui
tan is pushing on the construction of the
railway through Palestine to Mecca and
his recent census-taking of the Mussul
man world, it is quite evident that he is
watching events and getting ready, in
his way, for eventualities. He desires
to concentrate in his own hands, as far
as possible the power of resistance con-
tained in the mass represented by 49,.
SOC, 900 of Mussulmans, and by means of
the railway to Mecca, he proposes to re-
tain the permanent control of the holy
places of Islam on which his authority
as caliph Is based. Amid the uncertain
ties OF the general political condition OF
Europe he may think he discerns an op-
portunity to enable Islam to reassert
itself, and Is preparing accordingly.

through Zanzibar last year. The ele-

was shot by an Arab near Killmanparo
These tusks, which consist of perfect
ivory. without particle Of disease,
measured over ten. and one-half feet
from top to base. and weighed 224 pounds
and 239 pounds, respectively. They were
sold for $4,000. The nearest approach

Two soldiers lay on the battlefield
At night when the sun went down:
One held q lock of thin gray hair,
And one held lock OF brown.
One thought OF his sweetheart back at

Happy and young and gay,
And one of his mother left alone,
Feeble and old and gray.
Each In the thought that woman cared
Murmured a prayer to God,
Lifting his gaze to the blue above.
There on the battle sod.
Each in the JOY of woman's love,
Smiled through the pain of death.
Murmured the sound of a woman's name
Though with his parting breath.
Pale grew the dying lips of each,
Then, as the sun went down,
One kissed lock of thin gray hair.
And one kissed lock of brown.

ferday morning, by some miscreant, has
excited the Indignation OF the citizens
generally. Il is not known what might
have been the motive Of the person or

1t was, no doubt, with malicious intent.
1t may have been for the purpose of
looting, or it may have been done by
mischieyous boys to create excitement.
or for some other purpose. In any case,
there should be an effort made to ascer.
tain who these guilty parties are, and
they should be prosecuted to the full
extent OF the law. This town seems to
have its share OF characters of that kind
ut the present time, and one or two of
them sent over the road would serve a.

alarms only make the fremen and citi

being disturbed in their homes at night
when there is no occasion for it, espec

Ahonld never be sounded except in case Of
fire, not even to call firemen's meeting,

by calling them some other way.
