MEN LIKE POWER.

Any man In the world Of the average
sort will say what all men work for Is
personal success, says the San Fran
cisco ChrCnicla. Men want money
power, popularity, influence, personal
advancement and pleasure. The man
of the world OF the average sort will
say: Moralze all you please, 1t is
the selfish motive that turns the wheels
Of all enterprise. They also who are
mot men Of the average sort discover
that TO get good men to do good work
they must pay the price Men love life
And the .ood things that make life
picasurable and give to the worker a
sense OF satisfaction.
Money Is power. He who affects t.
despise Is weak In mind II he Is not a
hypocrite. Power Is an attribute of
strength and wisdom. Under the con
troll OF right principles it Is gift to be
desired and cherished The exercise OF
power Is celebrating to those who
have worthy ambitions. He who at
fects TO despise the exerci.c 81 power
fr a weakling. II he be not hypo
critic.

THE LOST TRIBES.

There are several theories about the
disappearance of the ten lost tribes of
Israel. The kingdom OF Israel. COM
prising the ten tribes. was overthrow
by ShalTaneser. king of Assyria. in
721 b. c., and the inhabitants were car
ried captive into the mountainous re-
gions of Media. According to some au-
thorities, they may be found in China
at the present day Others place them
In the region Of the Caspian sea. rhe
ancient HISTORIANS the Afghans, the
MeXicans. Peruyians and North Amer
lean Indians, and even the inhabitants
of Great Britain and ireland. have been
said to be descendants OF the ten
tribes, 1t is probable that the tribes
were absorbed by the people among
whom they were placed by the CON
querers.

AGE LIMIT.

II has been denied 10y the highest au-
thorities on the subject that any hu-
man being has ever lived to he 10
years old and these authorities have
refused to believe that any person has
exceeded the age of 1914 Although
there have been many centenarians
who have protested TO he l2O years old
and few who have announced their
age as 1870. II must be conceded that in
no case has there been induhitable or
documentary proof of the claim. II has
been considered significant that every
very old person, Tor person alleged to
be more than los years. has been
either pauper, or very poor. and so
has not been in position to maintain
documentary evidence. Most have
been negroes. of whose birth no rec.
ords have been kept.

BIG CROP YEAR.

Now that the corn crop Is practically
made" II Is safe to assert that this
will be the biggest agricultural year in
the history OF the United States. An
early frost may possibly hurt the corn
somewhat In northern states. But sta
tisticians are figuring on the total yield
of cereals reaching the enormous
amount Of 1000 million bushels. This
is about a third larger than last years
yield and is appreciably larger than
that OF any previous year.
The abundance II not confined to the
cereals. Cottaa, hay. apples, potatoes
lin fact ail crops throughout the coun'
try-~have done extraordinarily well.
Moreover, there is no anticipation of
the unprofltably low prices that have
sometimes accompanied years of
abundance. With the increase in pop
ulation the consumption has steadily
risen. Farmers are counting on a fair
price for everything they have to sell

COST OF LIVING.

The Massachusetts bureau OF sta
tistics OF labor has been looking into
prices and cost of living. The prices
II has investigated are not those of
diamonds. silks, steel and automobiles,
but of food. plain clothing, and the
rent of modest homes. The cost OF
living It has looked into is not that OF
millionaires but Of men whose average
yearly income, including the earnings
Of wives and children, fall below 81 900
= year.
The bureau was able to get detailed
statements Of the expenditures Of 1852
workingmens families. The average
yearly expenditure of the normal fam
lily, as shown by the budgets collected,
is $7s7. OF this amount $42s goes for
food. $109 for clothing. 800 for rent.
$46 for fuel and light, and STA for
all other purposes. Fifty-three per
cent Of the average income goes for
i0od. II Is evident that the prosperity
OF the family depends largely upon the
price Of food. The cost of clothing IL.
comparatively speaking. a trivial mat
ter. The trust or combination which
harms the workingman the most Is the
one which puts up the price OF food.
Cheap transportation is boon TO the
workingman. because 1t eheapens the
price of food.
