 As to the American Federation of La bor, the report says that the representa- ton In the conventions of that body, the basis used for calculation, does not accu- rately represent the membership of the Federation. The Federation" it says, "has tended year by year to embrace an increasing proportion of the American unions, so that its growth has been some- what greater than the growth of union- ism as whole. Yet. while not showing even approximately the absolute member ship of American unions. the figures may give some indication of the direction and the velocity of movement. The number of members apparently represented In the Federation conventions rose from about 100000 in 1890 and 1891 to nearly 250, ,OOo0 in 1893, fell sharply to about 175,000 in 1894. then rose gradually to little more than 2E0.000 in 1s9S and went up by leaps to nearly 325,0Oo in 1899, and to more than 300. 900 in 1900.

rae muoh-De.pised Goat n.. noe.
known since the beginning
of History.

The common OF domestic goat was
originally native of the highlands
of Asia. Naturalists generally regard
it as having descended from an animc1
found in the Caucasus mountains
and the hill country of Persia, called
in the Persian language the pesang.
Its legs are longer than those of tho
common goat, and it's horns are very
much longer. The common goat has
existed as domestic animal in
oriental countries from the very ear
Hest times. From there 1t spread all
over the world, manifesting remark
able adaptability to climate and cir
cu1nstances. In this diversity of sur
roundings great diversity Of breeds
has appeared, such as the Angora
goat, the Syrian goat, the Cashmere
goat, the Guinea goat of Africa, and
many others. No quadruped, except
the dog, has shown such susceptible
ity of variation. These differences
show most markedly in the quality
and quantity of the hair and in tho
relative abundance of the two coats,
the long silky outer covering and tho
softer woolly hair beneath it.
Among the Greeks and Romans, the
goat was sacrificed to Bacchus be-
cause OF its tendency to injure grape.
vines by eating the young tendrils
and leaves. All the species of goata
are natives of the old world The
Rocky Mountain goat, so-callcd, Of
North America, really belongs to the
antelope family.

OEr Sur: . Sm;,il O,,-.

T!,c sun is about 92,CO0,GGO miles or.
The Only way of measuring the dis

scarcely more than half dozen can he

This Is the base of measurement. The

some are so large that our whole earth
could be shot right through, with q
thousand miles to spare all around.
When total eclipse covers the sun,
flames to the height of thousands OF
miles are seen out OF the photosphere.
The sun is a hundred times larger than
the earth. an easy thing to say, and yet
our sun is believed to be IL rather small
one. For instance, Sirius is ut least
nine times as big Imperial.

The s,o,,ness Of Starvation

During prolonged fast the loss Of
weight is unusually rapid at first and
decreases as the time goes on. Death
cnsues when certain percentage OF
the loss has been reached. and this per-
centage varies according to the origi-
nal weight. Fat animals may lose half
their weight. thinner ones perhaps two
tifths. A man or woman Of rather
spare build weighing 143 pounds
might, therefore. lose about 55 pounds
before succumbing. Children die after
fast of from three to five days, dur
Ing which they have lost quarter Of
their weight. Healthy adults. however,
have tasted so days when water has
been taken. A German physician re-
ports the case of u woman aged Al
years who tasted for 43 days. taking
water freely. She lost Al pounds out
OF l43 pounds and died from exhaus-

Is a Good Breakfast Nccessnryf Yes.
a good breakfast Is the physical basis
of n days work. The American break

AS a rule there is something wrong
with the man or with his habits If he
cannot eat a good breakfast. A man
who works at high tension all through
the morning hours without this sub
stantial foundation is working entirely
upon his nerves. That means disorder
ed nutrition and sooner or later bank
ruptcy and collapse.
If Il man gets up In the morning with
n bad taste and no inclination for food,
it is because his system is full of waste
and his circulation of distractions. Let
him make radical change In his hnb-

of democracy, equal rights to all and special
privilege. to none applies III full force to tho

lieves that the burdens of taxation should be
born equally by all taxable property. We
