THE BABY BOY,S CH4NCES.

What will happen to the baby boy who is so happy over his Christmas presents this morning? A good many things, but there are some things which are not likely to happen to him. The Indianapolis Sentinel has been doing some figuring on the baby boys chances in life. It finds that the chances are 30,000,000 to that he will not become President of the United States, or vice. president, or chief justice of the Su- preme court. The chances are 410,O00 to 1 that he will not be United States a member of the house of representa- tives, and S20,000 to i that he will never be governor of State. The chances are 5SS to that he will not go insane, 1,250 to 1 that he will not be blind, S64 public almshouse,, 400 to 1 that he will never be an enlisted soldier or sailor, 1900 to i that he will never be city policeman, and 9,117 to i that he will never be president of a national bank
 It is special pity that the baby boys chances to become President of the United States are so meagre. Every body in the family knows that he ought to be President

MkRRY oHRIsTMAs TO ALL.

We wish all the readers of the Jour- nal and Courier A Merry Christmas. We hope all the children will be satis- fled with their presents, and that all the parents will be satisfied with the joy of their children. We also hope that the children will not need the doctor to- night or tomorrow. To-day is likely to be an uncommonly merry day all over this country. There has been much money to spend, and it has been freely spent in preparation for the day. There has also been a hearty spirit of good will all around except in high naval CT cles and some other high circles. But "the common people" needn't mind much about that, at least to-day. They can enjoy themselves in disregard of the consuming ambitions, the vile in- trigues and the bad will that are dis turbing some of the big folks. They are lucky to be able to do it. It is better to be happy than great, and fortunately few of us are compelled to be big or feel big. So let us heartily enjoy the merry, kindly Christmas, and do what we can to help others enjoy it.

persons employed in the industry which is under review. This authority will be a most powerful instrument to compel obedience to the decree of the court. Provision has been made that the legal machinery shall be as elastic as possible so that it may be adapted to the varying circumstances of each trade Thus the court will become in time the regulator of the main condi- tions of employment and will take care that these never fall below the stand ard of those prevailing in the best con ducted establishments. The court has also power to declare a standard wage and to direct that, other things being equal, an employer shall give prefer ence to unionists when two or more men are applying for employment at the same time.

A sum in Taxation.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 In surrounding great States fran chises are now taxed, and their val nations for assessment purposes are got at by adding together the market val ue of their stocks and bonds and de- ducting their already assessed tangible property. Applying this rule to the New Haven Water company and the value of it's street franchise may be got at. It has no bonds, it's capital stock is $2,5O0, 900, worth in the market at the last sale $2.35 for each dollar of par. The concern is worth then $5,S75,- OO0 Its tangible property is assessed in New Haven at about sS00000, and in surrounding towns, l am told, at about one million. Subtracting these last two sums from the market value of the company and there is left about $4,00O.- GOO, as the value of Its franchise. New Haven's grand list is s114 OO0,000 on which this year the tax rate is twelve and three quarters mills, and by this tax the city will raise $l,453,5 800 for its annual expenses. If now the untaxed four millions of the New Haven Water company were added to the grand list and taxed, the list would become one hundred and eighteen millions and the rate on that list to raise the $1, 453,500 required would be a little less than twelve and one-third mills. The differ ence between twelve and three-qua ters and twelve and one-third mills is five-twelfths mills call 1t one-half mill. In order then to allow the New Haven Water company to go untaxed on four million dollars worth of it's property the rest of the people have to pay taxes at rate one-half mill larger than it would be if the water company paid it's own taxes. If any property owner then will multiply his grand list by five and point off four places he will know in dollars just how much of the water companys taxes is allotted to him to pay.

THERIGHIS OF1H ROAD ROLLER

| The rights of the bicycle in the street are pretty well established, and the rights of the automobile are in process
 of establishment. ItIappears, too that
 the horse alarming roller has its street
 rights. A steam roller belonging to the Syracuse, New York; Rapid Transit company was on duty in Onondaga street, that city, and the usual warn- ing signs had been displayed. John J.
 Rector, truckman, had load of mer- chandise to deliver at the Wesleyan Publishing building When he turned out of State street into Onondaga, he saw the roller It was standing near the curb, motionless and noiseless. One of the company's servants stood near by, apparently in charge. Rector climbed out of his truck and began to unload. In a minute or two the escape valve of the roller began to pop" His horse took fright and started to run. He jumped for the reins, and was thrown down and hurt. He sued the company and got verdict; but the ap- pellate division decides that he wasn't entitled to it, having been negligent. The courts opinion is by MT. Justice McLennan. "The location of the steam roller in public street clearly indicat- ed that 1t was not being stored in that place." he says, but was there either for the purpose of use or to be trans ferred to some other place. At all events, so far as appears, and as was expressly charged by the learned trial court, the defendants roller was prop erly upon the highway in question and the defendant had the right to operate it in the manner in which such ma chimes are usually operated"
 According to this, it wont do to take much for granted when you see road roller quiescent and apparently about to stay so.

THE DEATH VALLEY BORA3

 | In 1880 Aaron Winters lived with his wife, Rosie, in a gulch known as Ash Meadows. not far from the mouth of Death Valley He was so fond of his wife that he would not allow her to be long absent from him, although their little hut on the side of the mountain was one hundred miles from the near est neighbor, in a wild, rugged, for saken country.
 One day a desert tramp came along and spent the night at the Winters home. He told the hunter about the borax deposits of Nevada. When he went away Winters thought that he had seen deposits of the same kind on his explorations into Death Valley.
 Accordingly he and his wife went to- gether to make the search, having pre- viously provided themselves with cer- tain test chemicals, which, when com bined with borax and ignited, would produce green flame.
 Having procured a piece of the sub- stance which he believed to be borax Winters and his wife waited for night fall to make the test. How would it burn?
 For years they had lived like Flutes on the desert, entirely without luxuries and often wanting for the very neces- saries of life. Would the match change all that?
 Winters held the blaze to the sub stance with trembling hand, then shouted at the top of his voice: "She burns green, Rosie! We're rich! We're rich!"
 They had found boraX. The mine was sold for $2000o, and Winters took his Rosie to a. ranch in Nevada. .-Chi- cago Tribune.

AN ATTEMPTING LAW.

The industrial arbitration bill which
 has been passed by the government of
 New South Wales is an interesting att
 tempt to solve problems which are
 much in need of solution. It not only
 compels the reference of all disputes between capital and labor to a compe- tent court with power to enforce its
 awards, but makes strike or a lock- out, pending such reference and the de- cision. a misdemeanor punishable by fine and imprisonment. The president of the court must be judge of the Su- preme court. Every care has been taken to make the court an independ- ent and dignified tribunal. Its powers are very large, and no appeal lies from it's decision. Every industrial dispute can be referred to it either by the in dustrial union interested or by the registrar. Orders of the court may be enforced, as in New Zealand by in- juHcton or by fines and penalties levied on the corporate funds of the union and on individual members, but they are also enforceable by a totally new method, namely, the declaration of a common rule. This gives the court power to declare that any practice, usage. condition of employment or in- dustrial dealings shall, with such limi- tations and exceptions as the court may declare, become a common rule for all

Lord, for the lonely heart l pray apart.
 Now, for the son of sorrow Whom this tomorrow Rejoiceth not, 0 Lord, Hear my weak word! For lives too bitter to be borne, For the tempted and the torn, For the prisoner in the cell, For the shame lip doth not tell, For the haggard suicide, Peace, peace, this Christmastide. Into the desert, trod
 By the long sick, 0 God; Into the patient gloom of that small room
 Where lies the child of pain, Of all neglected most-be fain To enter, healing, and remain. Now, at the fall of day, l bow and pray.
 For those who cannot sleep A watch l keep.
 Oh, let the starving brain Be fed, and fed again: At Thy behest
 The tortured nerve find rest. I see q vacant chair. Father of souls, prepare My poor thoughts feeble power To plead this hour: For the empty, aching home, Where the silent footsteps come, Where the unseen face looks on, Where the hand-clasp is not felt, Where the dearest eyes are gone, Where the portrait on the wall Stlrs and struggles as to speak, Where the light breath from the hall Calls the color to the cheek. Where the voice breaks in the hymn, | Where the sunset burneth dim, Where the late, large tear will start, Frozen by the broken heart, Where the lesson is to learn How to live, to grieve, to yearn, How to bear, and how to bow. Oh, the Christmas that is fled! Lord of living and of dead,
