Miss Coles is still suffering from the

How to Tell Pure Water.

A simple test for ascertaining wheth-
er there is any impurity in water is
to take a glassful and add to it a few
drops of s%ulphuric acid and n few drops
of a dilute solution of potassium per-
manganate. ~ perfect pink color will
be produced. hut if the water contains
decaying organic matter the pink color
will at once become faint ana finally
disappear. Sometimes ferrous sui
plate, hydrogen sulphite or other re-
ducing agents are present in water and
produce similar results. An expert can
always distinguish the difference and
for this reason the experiments of a
novice cannot always be relied upon.
But when water shows an excess of
chlorine and bleaches potassium per-
manganate it is certainly suspicious
and should be Analysed by an expert

Wages AMI Living.

The old stock argument of the free
traders used TO be when, in spite of
their s%quirming, they We're brought
face to face with the fact that wages
We're higher in this country than
abroad, that. although wages were
higher, the cost of living was higher,
too. and that. therefore, workmen in
that free trade, while it would lower
wages, would at the III time lower
the cost of living. This argument has
fallen somewhat into "innocuous desue-
tude' of late, yet occasionally it stalks
abroad, like Banquo's ghost. 1t is in
terestinS. therefore, to. note that Mr..
Jacob Weidmann, a prominent silk
dyer of Paterson. \. j., states that,
while the wages of the workmen en-.
ployed in his mill at Paterson are from
two to four times as large as the wages
paid to similar labor in Switzerland
which is MI. Weidmann's native coun-
try, the cost of living is less. In Swift
zcrland Il good silk dyer is paid 81 per
week; in this country the poorest dycrs
get so per week. The best dyers in
Switzerland are paid from So to So per
week, while in this country the best
dyers earn from SIS to $50 per week.
These are actual figures given by a nan
who knows. There is no guesswork
about them, neither is there any guess
work about MI. Weidmann's statement
concerning the comparative cost of liv-
ing, for, a. he states. some of the men
employed in his mills who have come
to this country from abroad have kept
records, and have found that they can
live more cheaply in this country.
When free trade is forced to meet facts
1T always gets the worst of things.

A Question of "sn.ar..

The consumption Of sugar last year in
the United States averaged about fifty
seven pounds for each inhabitant,
which at 51A cents a pound would cost
$3.42 apiece, OF $16.1O for q family Of
five persons. If the duty were removed
and the sugar trust allowed the people
to get the benefit thereof, the saving
would be S1.14 for each person, or 500
for a family of five, for a whole year.
There is neither certainty nor probable
ity that the savings would be as great
as that, but there is almost a certainty
that whatever reduction should be al
lowed would be made for the purpose
Of breaking down the domestic beet SUI
gar industry, which is now the source
of wages and income to 100000 per-
sons.
Would the saving secured by remov-
ing the duty on raw sugar pay for en-
dangering the life of so important an
American industry and one which in a
few years promises to supply all the
sugar needed and at lower prices than
ever before known? What intelligent
man would consent to be bribed with
$50 to bring about a possible disaster
to SO useful and beneficial a business.

All the commercial barriers that could
be raised against other lands would not
enable Germany to raise all her bread

1899, Germany imported from the
United States 300, 40, 1876 pounds of hog
products alone, much greater than we
sold to any other nation except the
United Kingdom. 1t is a safe assump-
ton, therefore, that the tariff law that
