Light and Air in Cities.

From the Atlantic Magazine.
In New York the Importance of the light
and air question Is now pretty well under
stood though ii has been egregiously over
looked in several instances; and the result
is that large office buildings are attempted
only on especially favorable sites, the ma
jority of which have already been pre-
empted The influence of the Trinity Church
yard in effccting realty valuations is an in
teresting case in point Here is an open
green square in the heart of the financial
center, which sentiment and tradition have
made consC Grated ground; which the wealthy
proprietary corporation refuses to sell at
any price. and which, as far as can now be
seen, will always remain in its present
state. Consequently the office buildings
erected on abuttng property are assured of
a splendid supply of light and air for an ia
definite period. 1t is for this reason that
the Empire bulding, on the south side of
Rector street, is one of the most successful!
enterprises in the metropolis; and it is fo-
this reason that the cid Trinity building
at Ill Broadway is regarded probably the
most valuable building site in the lower
business district

The Washington Ancestry.
Galloway Kyle In London Speaker


The attempt of the promoters of the St.
the alleged home of the Washingtons, for
their forthcoming worlds fair, reminds us
that the question Of the ancestry of the
first President Of the United States is still
regarded as a vexed one. Although our
American cousins covet the old Northamp-
tonshire house, they cannot prove it had a
very near connection with George Wash
ington. If the Presidents ancestors ever
held Sulgrave Manor they left 1t at least six
generations before George took up the thread
Of fate, and the relic-hunterS would find
something more worthy their attention as
being genuinely Washingtonian II they went
further north
The Washingtons Of the seventeenth CEN
fury were Enthusiastically loyal During
the civil war they were cavaliers, and 1t
was their connection with an attempt to
overthrow Cromwell and restore the old dy-
nasty that caused John and Lawrence
Washington to fee from Yorkshire over
seas and join other exiles in the old and
loyal dominion of Virginia. They bought
large estates and settled down on the Poto-
mac John, who had abandoned his York
shire estates, married Miss Ann Pope, and
their eldest son, Lawrence, married the
daughter of Col. Augustus Warner, promi-
nent colonist, and had three children-John,
Augustine and Mildred. Augustine married
Jane Butler, by whom he had four children,
and after her death he fell in love with and
married Mary Ball. young lady of great
beauty. Their first sen was George Wash
ington, who, as a slab on the site of his
birthplace at Pope's Creek testifies, wes
born on February II (old style), 1872. Thus
we have Washngtons direct descent from
the county up to the time Of his emigration,
fully laid bare.

THE TAAL DIALECT.

from the contemporary Review.
AS compared with High Dutch 1t is inf
nltely superior in one respect In High
Dutch the genders of the nouns are hea TT

IN German; in the Taal they have been SIM
plif1ed almost as in English. Perhaps the
next point is hardly so good; the TaaI has
abandoned all distinctions of person in the
verb to be-" To conjugate this verb
sounds. therefore, if one should say In
English: is, thou is. he is, we Is, you is,
they Is This new language also employs
the double negative. Holla nders who con-
descend to notice the Taal at all say this
double negative came in through contact
with the French Huguenot settlers 1t
seems more likely that it came in, as 1t
comes to the man In the street. through
pure vulgarity and Ignorance: Il don't
want nothing to do with it." The Dutch
have the Scotch fashion of using dimlnu-
tiVes for every noun; thus, for example

In the Iaal as boekje orlosje, vogentje.

Canada's Coal Lands.

From the Toronto Star.
Time will show the wisdom of the domin-
ion government in setting apart fifty square
miles of the coal lands of the northwest as
government property. The coal can lie
there for the present. 1t is not needed,
and will not be for long time to come;
but it is there, 1t belongs to the state, and
some day it can be mined by the people and
for the people, II need be.
The Crows Nest Coal Company and the
Canadian Pacific railway have larger coal
areas, but they have not better coal than
policy to remain the property of the state.
The socialists argue that all the coal should
have been held in behalf of the people, and
mined by the government; but. practically
speaking, this is not yet possible. and will
not be until the advocates of public owner
ship of all the utilities and necessities are
in a voting majority in Canada. Half of
those who follow the cause fall weak at
the heart when the time comes to actually
lay hold on something that may be owned
and operated.
But the publicly owned coal fields of the
west will always serve In measure as a
check upon the company-owned mines. and
one day they will be worked by the state,
Tor people grow too wise to part with fur
ther property of that kind once its value
Is within popular knowledge. When the
west is filed with people the retention by
the state of control over the coal supply
will be seen to be one of the best pieces Of
practical craftsmanship in Canadian his
tory.

Growth Of the Iron Trade.

From the Engineering Magazine
The development of the iron industry of
the United States has been marked with
surprises From complete dependence upoI
the old world the country has leaped to a
pre-eminence so complete that even Its ri
walls believe and tremble. In the great rail-
road building period of 1S7O-72 England fur
nished the rails and other materials at
prices two or three times above those which
are now deemed abnormally high. Then
England produced three times much iron
and steel as the United States. Since then
Germany has challenged the supremacy of
Great Britain, and passed her in a decade
of remarkable growth. And yet, in the cur
rent year of 1902 the United States of
America will produce more iron than Eng
land and Germany combined. Indeed, there
is a margin of excess to spare about equal
to the product Of France. If we add to
this statement another fact, viz, that even
this vast production is not sufficient for
home requirements. and that the United
States is today, in spite Of a stiff tariff, the
best customer In iron and steel that Europe
has. credulity is taxed to the limit.

WOMEN OF JAPAN.
Emancipated From Ancient Restric'
lions in Mikado's Land.

From the Philadelphia Press
The most interesting part OF life in Japan
Is the emancipation Of her women. The re-
moval of time restrictions has given the
interesting women Of the mikado's realm
the opportunity to show how bright and
progressive they are under some Of the in
f1uences of western civilization" In for
mer times the Japanese wife occupied the
position Of an upper servant rather than
the partner of her lords joys and sorrows.
But now that the country Is becoming
''civilized" this is passing away and the
women are taking their places by the side
Of the men. Already there are Japanese
women DOCTORS teachers, merchants and
writers, and soon there will be Japanese
wives in the American sense of the term
These women of the island empire have not
the freedom and honor of their western sis
tiers, but they suffer from far less restraint
than the Spanish women and receive con-
siderable encouragement from the men in
their endeavor to rend the veil which holds
them in darkness.
1t is now a frequent thing for the better
educated and liberal Japanese to travel
about with their wives, the multiplication
of railway lines tending to accustom them
to this western familiarity. Among the
less wealthy classes the women have al
ready taken many of their rights. The far
mers wife helps in the field and in return
opldllS an unusual authority In the house
hold. The merchants wife assists her hus-
band. frequently keeping the accounts,
while in the greatest industry of the en-
pre, silk worm raising and the manufac-
ture of silk her power is absolute
With the emancipation of the women has
come the commencement of a truer home
Hfe-a life In which father, mother and
children all share. One of the signs of this
development is the introduction of the fam
lily picnic which is rapidly becoming an In
st1tution in the rural districts. MANY of the
quaint customs and pretty ways of the
japanese that are now rapidly disappear-
ing before the march of western civilization
are nowhere more evident than among the
ch1ldrens sports and pastimes. The fowery
Kingdom has often been called the chill
dren's paradise, and if the sacrifice of more
mature lives to make the little ones happy
means anything the name is appropriate.
AT the same time even in Japan child
hoods days are not all given to play The
japanese girl has to look forward to even
tually having the care of home and is
carefully trained when young for the respon-
slbllities which are soon to be hers Some
or her lessons partake very much of the
nature of play, and the child reveIs in
learning babycraft and hairdressing, music
and housewifery. very much as an Ameri-
can girl revels in caring for her dolls and
providing them and herself with the good
things of the table.

REAL PROFIT SHAKING
suggestion for Practical Method Of
Settling Question.
From the Review Of Reviews

from the Review of Reviews
Inc arrangement is a very simple one
E-ach operative VINO wishes to take part in
the proht sharing is required to sign pa
per agreeing to give a notice of sixty days
pelore leaVlns, and also to do all in his
power TO save expenses, and, in short, to
render the business successful. In consid-
eratloh OF thls certain proportion of the
net profits-known only to the PROPRIETOR
but always the same proportion-is divided
among the proft SharerS pro rata accord
ing TO their wages during the period lust
elapsed: IN the writer's case the profits are
calculated every six months The profits
are paid one-haf in cash to the partici-
pants, and one-half Is placed ina savings
bank by the proprietor as trustee for the
employe. II the employee dies in the serv-
Ice his heirs are at once entitled to the ac-
cumulated fund in the savings bank, with
interest.
If the operative desires to leave the
works ana gives the required sixty days
notice, the fund remains at interest two
years In the bank, and is then handed over
to the operative, provided he has not sold
the secrets or formulas he may have learn
works.
In case the employee should not keep his
part OF the agreement-should for instance
organize strike. stopping work without
the required notice of sixty days-his accu-
mulated profit, which is only contingent
upon his adherence to the promises made
to the employer. does not come back to the
latter. but Is divided into two equal parts.
one OF which Is apportioned in cash among
the operatives who have adhered to their
bargain, and the other is added pro rata to
their funds in the savings bank. 1t seems
to the writer that 1T is of great Importance
that the money, once divided, should never
come back to the employer again, as other
wise It would give room to suspicion that
men were discharged in order to obtain
their accumulated savings. If a. man is
discharged ha ha
right to turn his accumulation over to the
faithful men who have kept their promises.
There has benin the writer's experience
but one attempt to Systematically break
this agreement, an attempt eariy IN the ar
rSngement to organize a strike nhe result
was a loss on the strikers part " con-
siderable sum of money and .tha division Of
promises. The strike lasted fSVo-days and
has never been repeateda che Attilers beg
ging to be taken back on the old Il rms.
