THE relations between employers
and employees in the great industrial
centers are becoming more and more
strained. The manufacturer must
have higher prices to pay higher
wages. and the workman must have
more wages to pay the increased prices.
Things are getting up to the top
notch all around, and there must be
an awful tumble some of these days.

A study of the balsam will be car rfed on by the bureau of forestry this summer in the Adirondacks and tri Maine. Work has already been done in the Adirondacks. and the object of the coming seasons work will be to conclude the study, the results of which will probably be published next spring. The main purposes of the ir- vestigation of balsana are to determine its suitability for use as paper pulp, the quantity which is now standing, and the results that can be expected in the production of second crop under conservative methods of numbering. A study of the poplar in Maine has come about through the increased use of pop lar as paper pulp material. It's gen. eral scope is similar to that of the bal sam investigation. The work on southern hardwoods this year will be a continuation of the study which has already been carried on during two field seasons. Its purpose is to deter mine the stand the present and the possible uses. and the best methods of mana cement for the following import ant commercial hardwoods of the south Tulip-ree, white oak, post oak. chestnut oak, basswood. chestnut the hlckories, and white ash.

The Littauer glove contract is still
 agitating the war department and ef1- cial Washington. On account of the peculiar relationship existing between President Roosevelt and Congressman Littauer, the question is on the tip of every mans tongue, What will Roose-
 welt do about this latest scandal that gets close to him?" At a Harvard col
 lege dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria ho- tel in New York on the 28d of Febru-
 ary, 1900, Roosevelt declared with pride and emotion that his closest per sonal friend and political adviser was Lucius N. Littauer, member 2of con- gress from New York. The laws of the United States forbid a member of congress to take any government con- tract The New York Sun, a republi- can newspaper, friendly to MT Roose- welt, of course, reveals the fact that MT Littauer during the Spanish-Ameri- can war, manufactured some i've hun red thousand dollars worth of gloves and other supplies bought by the United States government. A man named Lyon got the contract from the government, and Littauer made the gloves for Lyon. Tn letter to Lyon, Littauer asks whether he, Littauer, shall go and see the responsible war depa rtment official, General Ludding- ton "in regard to other glove con tracts" An Littauer's brother acted as bondsman for Lyon in the procuring of contracts.

Lake Shore, New York Central, Hook. ing Valley, Burlington, and finally Un- ion Pacific, have all been, or will be heavy borrowers within a short period of time. To what extent other roads are increasing their floating debt is not known, but 1t is considerable. These funds are, usually, imperatively needed, for Improvements to meet the urgent demands of growing traffic. As a rule, these proposed expenditures are necessary and justifiable; they are the natural demands of growth. But in the present congested state of the se- curfty market it is impossible to mar ket any such amounts of new stocks and bonds as would cover these out lays except at unnecessary sacrifices. 1t is better financing to borrow money for such improvements on notes, even at 6 per cent, for one or two years, and issue bonds or stocks at later and more convenient opportunity. If is- sued now, such securities woulo either nave to be offered below par or pay more nearly the ordinary rate of in- terest.

DIET FOR CONSERVATIVES.

These men and women realize that every breath of the pure atmosphere is a bar to their ailment, and their eager ness to be in tito inha1e it-is not strange when one considers the years some of them have fought to regain their health-years of suffering and en- durance which none could appreciate save those who have the same affiic- ton as themselves. Recognizing na- lures remedy. it may be said that only when considered absolutely necessary is medicine or stimulant administered and the comparatively few who require these are usually recent arrivals, whose systems have been weakened by long duration of the complaint. As they improve an effort is made to Substitute food for the tonic. The menu is not limited It includes the usual meats and vegetables, with tea and coffee; but as already indicated, milk and raw eggs are considered of special value, and all are expected to add these to their daily diet Sleep is another es- sential and physical effort is encour- aged as promoter of it. The occupa- ton Of the mind also tends to keep off the melancholy feeling which often af- fects the consumptive especially, so the social atmosphere is considered to be one of the most valuable features. Tn fact, the absence of so many of the dreary accompaniments of hospital life is remarked by the visitor, who might easily mistake the purpose of one of these settlements were it not for the appearance of some of the patients whose features tell too plainly the in roads which disease has made upon them Review of Reviews.

The charity of some people who can afford Nbe charitable is not as great as these would-be philanthropists would have the world believe. A writer in one of the latest magazines, in speak ing of women doctors, says: s1n my six months of small town practice I learned many other things, and none more puzzling than certain aspect of the charity of the rich. A number of the women there devoted much time to the poor, and one of their good offices was to bring these to me (often in their caTriages) and get me to treat them for nothing. I was desperately poor my self, having others to help as well as my own living to make, and confess my spirit rebelled sometimes when these prosperous and well-fed philan- thropists patted themselves for present. ing my time, strength and knowledge to their proteges. remember one case in particular, when was called up on bitter winter night by an Italian who could not speak 8 word of English and followed him two miles through the snow, where worked without help or convenience of any kind till 10 the next morning, to go home utterly spent; and the consciousness of having saved a life was made 8 trifie bitter by the pie ture of the lady patroness who had do hated my services waking from placid sleep to congratulate herself on her good deed.

A WORD FOR THE MULE.
Missouri Animal shown to Have Many
 Points of Excellence.

Points of Excellence.
 In many respects the mule is the mo- blest beast that has been placed under mans dominion, but unjust ridicule for some unaccounta ble reason marked the long suffering brute for it's own and by obscuring his many virtues and play ing upon his few defects and idiosyn- crasies has compelled him since the day he was discovered by Anah in the wilderness to live under the torture of false and slanderous report. At last, however, he is being restored to his proper position in the social and eco homie world.
 In truth the mule, if he happens to be a Missouri product, is valuable, beautiful and lovely beast. For gen eral all around purposes, in comparison with the horse, mules are superior. They are easy and cheap to raise easy to sell and hard to blemish. They go to the market early and bring bigger profits for the time, work and money expended in growing than any other stock. Time and hard work have less effect upon them than upon other kind of flesh. Disease rarely touches them. Adversity and hard knocks make them stronger and tougher.
 A mule does not wither or weaken with age. The process of years sim ply turns his coltish friskiness to con- templative sedateness, his silvery voice to raucous roar and his obstreperous heels to the paths of peace. His hab it's. as they are better understood, are less feared and more appreciated. He is traetable, gentle, sympathetic and very intelligent. When well treated he loves his master as Sancho, the com panion of Don Quixote, and many old negroes in the south have proved.
 He eats little and requires no shelter and tolls to the bitter end without com- plaint or fatigue. He quickly under stands the whims of his driver and will go and can be guided without whip or rein. He is a dynamo in hide, an engine on hoof-a perfect machine in flesh and blood, which rarely gets out of order or temper.-Kansas City Jour nal
