A distinguished New Yorker in an

A distinguished New Yorker in ar
interview recently said that 'laboI
is entitled to a fair wage but is not
entitled to any more" A cores
pendent Of the New York Journal
asks that paper if it could give an
idea Of what fair wage is. "ls
it 90 per cent or 90 per cent or SO
per cent or 100 per cent of labor's
productlon? Who is to be the
Judge Of this matter? II less than
100 per cent of labor's production
belongs to labor, 20 whom does the
rest belong and by what right?"
The Journal replies that eff we
define labor as all the effort both
Of hand and of brain required to
produce givSn result, then labor
under the existing social system is
undoubtedly entitled to the bulk Of
the profit. 1t is not entitled to quite
furnishes the capital which is indis-
pensable for important production
has right to reasonable rate of
interest and to compensation for
any risk there may be in the enter
prise" 4
This is very interesting question
and very interesting answer. But
it is true that labor as defined by
the Journal does not receive a fair
proportion OF it's share of the profit.
1t cannot be denied that "abor is
entitled to a fair wage and IS not
entitled to any more" But who
has ever demanded more than a
"fair wage" in behalf of labor? Is
it not also true that capital is enti-
titled to a fair return and to moth
ing more? And yet the man who
insists that labor be given its fair
proportion, and who protests against
capital taking an unfair proportion.

Tho Elaborate NerlIree.

SO far nothing has appeared TO take
the place of alternating rows of satin
ribbon and lace insertion for the elab-
crate negllgee. This combination is
found to look rich and beautiful to a
degree, and if the lace be Of a dainty,
filmy weave and the ribbon Of pretty
and becoming color the scheme leaves
little to be desired. It's a mere mat
ter of taste as to which direction the
stripes thus gained shall take. The
short woman, though, will choose
them up and down, the too tall woman
round and round, while the woman Of
medium size may have them either
way. Or they may &c on the bias,

Stammerlng.

c. Biaggi holds that stammering is
a degeneration of speech, resulting
from an arrest of development i'm the
powers of coordination of the move
ments essential to speech. Children
who stammer usually exhibit other
signs of nervous taint The remedy
consists in gradual, patient training
of the individual muscular movements
producing speech. By degrees they
can be co-ordlnated and combined.
At the same time the pupil should be
taught to control the bodily contor-
tions and facial grimates which are
so apt to accompany their efforts to
speak. In this systematic method of
exercise, comparable to the patient
and constantly repeated efforts neces-
sary for the learning of the scales and
exercises on the piano. the child will
gradually acquire control Of his speech
instrument and become perfect in its
technique.-La Tribuna Medica.
