commodities rose earlier and went higher than the wages of labor. Dun's index number shows that the ge1- eral level of prices rose 40 per cent from July, 1897, to November, 1901, and has been nearly stationary for a year and a half. But there are very few unions that have secured an ad- vance as high as 40 per cent. The bi- luminous mine workers, the longshore- men, the housesmiths unions Of prac- ticalfy unskilled labor-haye made ad- vances of from 40 per cent to 100 per cent, but anthracite mine workers, street railway employees and the skill ed trades. generally have advanced on- ly from 10 to 80 per cent Railway, net earnings per mile in line increased 30 per cent from 1897 to 1902, but 1t required another year for railway wages to reach their increase of 15 per cent to 20 per cent.
 While the wage earner has gained in two ways-fncrease in rate ofwages and increase in the amount of em- ployment-the capitalist has also gain ed in two ways-increase in prices and increase in the amount of production. If the wage earner works a larger number of days the employer gets a larger output. So that with the price 40 per cent higher and wages 20 per cent higher, the wage earners share of the increased production Is less than his share of the smaller pro- duction. His command of comforts has increased, but the profits and rents from investments have increased still more.
 The procession of prices and wages is characteristic of all periods of pros perity in all countries, but 1t is es- pecially marked in the United States. where the tariff protects prices from migration admits foreign workmen as competitors for wages. Tn the five years from 1898 to 1903 the imports Of merchandise increased 66 per cent, while the number of immigrants in creased 27O per cent. The rise of wages is checked by immigration, but 1 the rice in prices is favored by pro- lection. n.-Professor John R. Commons l in Review of Reviews.

Nothing Like Unionism.

The office boys union had adjourned from labor to luncheon, when the,walk- ing delegate after examining the union label on a doughnut, asked: "Has youse kids seen de new calen- dars?'
 "Ah. wat CT yer givin' Us now? Wese seen hundred uv 'em."
 "Dat's all right; but has yer read 'em?'
 A prolonged yell went up at the idea of reading a calendar.

HIS BETROTHAL.
A Tale Showing That Authorship Sometimes Develops Awkward and
 Embarrassing Situations.

When FNredrika Bremen, the Swedish novelist, was travelingsfp America, she took the liberty of talking with all kinds of strangers, and asked kindly but very personal questions. One day, in going from New York to Washing ton, says Lippincott's Magazine, she sat beside a young mechanic, and in her desire of obtaining information, began to question him:
 What is your name?"
 Jonathan Brewster. num-
 How old are you?''
 Lust 24, mum"
 Are your parents living?"
 No, num-"
 Are you married?"
 "No, mum"
 What work do you do?' T am bricklayer, num-"
 How much do you make at your trader" Two dollars day, num- "You do not drink, hope?"
 .sNo, mum, I'm teetotal.'' Then, to her amusement, the young workman turned about and put the same questions to her. She answered  them with the greatest frankness and good nature, and at Philadelphia where she was to stop over, she left him. That day, after dinner. waiter came to her in the hotel. with the in formation that a young man wanted to see her. sT know no one here" said she There must be some mistake
 He says he came over with you from New York. His name is Jonathan Brewster
 "Oh!" laughed the lady Well l you may tell him I am tired, and he really must excuse me-
 Presently the waiter was back again

He says yor asked him about his circumstances l and told him you were single, and that l you made lot of money. So he thinks | he'd rather live in Sweden with ricl wife than slave here for two dollars 2 | day"
