At the present moment. writes Sir
Walter Besant. those parts of East
London inhabited by the workingmen
of all kinds, from the respectable ar
tisan in steady employment down to
the casual hand and the children Of
the street, are suffering from the
dearth of houses. There are not
enough single rooms for the families
which would gladly occupy them, if
they could. The rents of the lowest
tenements are going up higher and
higher. The working people compete
with one another for rooms. The
landlord has only to put up his house,
or his rooms in his house, to the high
est bidded. A room that used to be
let for four shillings a week can now
command six, while the fine, or the
sum paid on taking the key. which
was formerly a few shillings, now
runs up to a pound or even two.
The houseless used to be consid-
cred the very poorest. Among them
now are families where the head is in
good work. They are houseless be.

The vast increase of population has a
good deal to do with this. For in.

The Hygiene of High Attitudes.

The Lancet says: ut is well known
that the chemical composition of the
atmosphere differs little, if at all.
Wherever the sample be taken:
whether it be on the high Alps or at
the surface of the sea, the relation Of
oxygen to nitrogen and other constit
uents is the same. The favorable eff
fects, therefore, of a change of air
are not to be explained by any differ
ence in the proportion of its gaseous
constituents. One important differ
ence, however. is the ARCHAEOLOGICAL
one. The air of high attitudes con-
tains no microbes, and is, in fact,
sterile, whilst near the ground and
some 100 feet above it microbes are
abundant. In the air of towns and
crowded places not only does the
microbic impurity increase, but other
impurities, such as the products of
combustion of coal. accrue also. Sew
eral investigators have found traces
of hydrogen and certain hydrocarbons
in the air, and especially in the air of
pine, oak and birch forests. 1t is TO
these bodies, doubtless. consisting of
traces OF essential oils. to which the
curative effects of certain health re-
sorts arc ascribed. Thus the locality
of fir forest is said to give relief in
diseases Of the respiratory tract. But
all the same. these traces of essential
OIL and aromatic products must be
counted, strictly speaking, as impuri-
ties. since they are not necessary
constituents of the air. AS recent
analyses have shown. these bodies
tend to disappear in the air as q high
er altitude is reached until they dis
appear altogether It would seem.
therefore, that microbes, hydrocar
bons and entities other than oxygen
and nitrogen. and, perhaps, we should
add, argon, are only incidental to the
neighborhood of human industry, ami

Gifts and bequests for public pur-
poses are an item of increasing value
in the account of American progress.
During last year they aggregated
S62 ,461, ,904 of which nearly $4,000 900,
or considerably more than one-half,
went to universities, colleges and other
educational institutions. OF the re-
naming s27,OOO,OO0 little more than a
half went to charities, while nearly
$9,O00,0O0 went to churches. The We
mainder of $5,OO0,OO0 was divided
about evenly among museums, art gal
leries and libraries. Andrew Carnegie
was the largest public giver of the
year, his benefactions footing up
$4,225,0 900, of which all but $625, 900
went to Pitsburgh's institute and il
brary. The next largest public bene-
factors were Samuel Cupples and R. A.
Brookings of st. LOUIS, who gave
$5,000,000 to Washington university.
But the list of these public givers cf
millions includes less than 90 names,
and is quite short when the number of
our multi-millionaires is considered.

All the wonders of this age are not
found in the inventions that annihi-
late time and space, create conven-
fences and luXuries, soothe suffering,
protect health and prolong life. The
chemist is achieving things as remark
able in their way, although not al
ways so desirable, as the inventions 1f
the electrician and the machinist.
What would our ancestors have
thought, for instance, of the chemists
imitation of many common articles of
food? Our ancestors used to eat real
honey; we consume a substitute made
Of glucose. corn and sulphuric acid.
Our olive oil is often cottonseed oil;
our butter and lard beef fat; our coffee
peas, beans and molasses: our pepper
lharcoal red clay and ground cocoa
nut shell. Even the milk we drink is
sometimes under suspicion. A fluid
closely resembling it can be made of
caustic soda, saleratus, salt and water.
Dur forefathers of 1901 certainly had
an advantage over us here. The chem
lists were not in league against them.
But, on the other hand we are vastly
more in debt to the chemist than our
ancestors for the remedies which bring
hope to the sickroom. The modern
pharmacopoeia is a monument to his
industry and ingenuity. Physicians of
@ hundred years ago would marvel ut
the resources of the physician of the
present day.

RoOSEVELTS ADDRESS.

Vice President Roosevelt said: "The
history OF free government is in large
part the history of those representa-
tive legislative bodies, in which. from
the earliest times, free government has
found its loftiest expression. They
must ever hold a peculiar and exalted
position in the record which tells how
the great nations of the world have,
endeavored to achieve and preserve Or
derly freedom. No man can render to
his fellows greater service than is
rendered by him who, with fearless
ness and honesty, with sanity and dis
lnterestedness does his life work as n
member of such body Especially is
this the case when the legislature in
which the service is rendered is a vital
part in the governmental machinery OF
one of those world powers to who's :
hands, in the course of ages is entrust-
leading part in shaping the destin-
les of mankind. For veal or for woe,
for good or for evil, this is true of our
own mighty nation. Great privileges
and great powers are ours. and heavy
are the responsibilities which go with
these privileges and these powers. Ac-
cordingly as we do well or i'll, so shall
mankind in the future be raised or cast
down. We belong to young nation,
already of giant strength. yet whose
present strength is but forecast of the
power that is to come. We stand su
preme in a continent, in a. hemisphere
East and west we look across the two
great oceans toward the larger world
life in which, whether we will or not
we must take an ever increasing share
And as, keen eyed, we gaze into the
coming years, duties new and old rise
thick and fast to confront us from
within and without. There Is every
reason why we should face these dutie.

INAUGURATION.

THEPREsIDENTs INAUGURAL AID
DRESS.

My Fellow Citizens: When we as
sembled here on the Fourth of March.
1897, there was great anxiety with re-
gard to our currency and credit. Mona
exists now. Then our treasury re-
ceipts were adequate to meet the cur
rent obligations of the government.
Now they are sufficient for all public
needs, and we have a surplus instead
of deficit. Then felt constrained to
convene the Congess in extraordinary
session to devise revenues to pay the
ordinary expenses of the government
Now | have the satisfaction to an
nounce that the Congress just closed
has reduced taxation in the sum of
forty-one millions of dollars. Then
there was deep solicitude because of
the long depression of our manufactul-
ing, mining, agricultural and mercan-
tile industries and the consequent dis
tress of our laboring population. Nov
every avenue of production is crowded
with activity, labor is well employed
and American products find good mar
kets at home and abroad. Our diver
sifietf productions, however, are in
creasing in such unprecedented volume
as to admonish us of the necessity of
still further enlarging our foreign
markets by broader commercial re-
lations. For this purpose reciprocal
trace arrangements with other nations
should in liberal spirit be carefully cul
tivated and protected. The national
verdict of 1896 has for the most part
been executed Whatever remains un-
fulfilled is continuing obligation rest
ing with undiminished force upon the
Executive and the Congress- But for
tunate as our condition is, its perman-
ence can only be assured by sound
business methods and strict economy
in national administration and legis
lation. We should not permit our
great prosperity to lead us to reckless
ventures in business of profligacy in
public expenditures. While the Con-
gress determines the objects and the
sums OF appropriations, the officials oi
the executive departments are respon-
sible for honest and faithful disburse
ment and it should be their constant
care to avoid waste and extravaganza,
Honesty, capacity and industry are
now here more indispensable than in
public employment. There should be
fundamental requisites to original op
pointment and the surest guarantees
against removal

CUBAN RELATIONS.

We have at this moment a most i'm
portant question-that of the future re-
lations of the United States with Cuba.
With our near neighbors we must re-
main close friends. The declaration
of the purpose of this government in
the resolution of April 20, 1898, must be
made good Ever since the evacuation

lishment of a free and Independent

perform the obligations of information.

ed States under the treaty of Paris.
The convention elected by the people
to frame constitution is approaching
the completion of its labors. The
transfer of American control to the
new government is of such great i'm
portance, involving an obligation re-
sulting rom our intervention and the
the treaty of peace, that | am glad to
be advised by the recent act of Con-
gress of the policy which the legisa
tive branch of the government deems
essential to the best interests of Cuba
and the United States. The principles
which led to our intervention require
that the fundamental law upon which
the new government rests should bc
adapted to secure a government cap
able of performing the duties and dis
charging the functions of separate
nation. of observing its international
obligations of protecting life and
property, insuring order, safety and
liberty and conforming to the estab-
llshed and historical policy of the
United States in it's relation to Cuba.
"The peace which we are pledged TO
leave to the Cuban people must carry
with it the guarantees of permanence.
We became sponsors for disqualification
of the island and we remain account
able to the Cubans, no less than to our
own country and people. for the recoi4-
