A man who made millions by his mechanical inventions, a man whose inventions have changed the daily life of every American, told Edward Ev- erett Hale recently that he had asked fifty boys what handiwork they would prefer; and that, in every instance the boy replied that he would like to be a plumber. The curious truth was that plumbing was the only mechanical art which these boys, trained in our mod ern life, had seen in practise.

American war vessels stationed at Montevideo were on a recent date or dered to sail to Valparaiso, Chilli. It was reported in Washington that the sending of these vessels to Valparaiso was done on the request of either the British minister to Chili or of the Brit ish ambassador to the United States, says an exchange. British interests, it is reported, may be endangered in consequence of "a social ebullition," as the threatened disturbance ds described in a dispatch to the state department. Tn other words, there is Likelihood of mob rioting in Valparaiso as a result of labor strikes. As there is consid- erable amount of English capital in- vested in that city the American war vessels ordered there will do police

The Bridgeport trolley strikers are is- suing daily statements just as they have been doing in this city since the strike started. The statement while not pleasing to everybody is good thing in that it keeps the newspapers and through them their readers posted as to what the strikers are doing and in- tend to do. It saves the reporters a lot of hustling. Tn Bridgeport as in Waterbury number of people are set on fire at sight of the statement and wonder why the papers continue to publish it. We presume 1t is because the readers of the papers want it. The Bridgeport Post evidently thinks so for it continues to publish the daily statement, but puts the word Com municated" at the head of it. The statement may ont always print things to suit everybody, but if some article of local or general news was substituted for it. there would be people that would prefer something else.

slsYPHUs A MODEL?
An Old View of Punishment Which
 Has Become a Model


 In the pleasant days of antiquity, when people were content to take life tranQuilly and worshipped race Of gods and goddesses as easy-going as themselves, a certain discontented nor tal, Sisyphus by name, jealous of his papadn-laW, (Atlas, supporter Of the universe) started out to achieve a rep utation for himself as f1nancier and founder of enterprises. He, however, quickly got into trouble, being both rapaoious and avid, so was promptly ordered off to Hades for his sins. To be energetic and grasping was then the surest way to exasperate public opin- ion, for 1t was an epoch when all req sona'ble people and even the gods them selves asked for nothing better than to sit in the. shade and be comfortable.
 Tn order to make his puni shment co ordinate this culprdt's crime, he was , condemned for all eternity to shoulder a rock up a mountain side, only to see it go bounding down into the valley again as soon as he had got 1t labo- riously to the top.
 This story and that of the hungry wight who was always being tempted by good cheer just out of reach crop up continually in the writings of that day, both tales being amusingly illus trative of the Greek spirit and an age when to enjoy a cultivated leisure was considered, as about the summum be- mum of existence.
 Fancy the amazemenf of those Attic peoples (who, between themselves, may not have been so very far wrong in their view of life). had they been told that a race would one day spring up, quite as csvdli7ed as themselves and possessing far greater opportunities for cultivation and enjoyment, every mem Der of which, rich as well as poor, would aoolz up weary SiSyphus' task as the one reasonable and commendA ble occupation for gentleman.
 Yet this view is almost universal in our aand to-day, where an all.prevasiing rustic of bank notes abstracts mems minds go completely from the real aims of existence. Gdsyphus is now held up as model of industry and application Parents urge their offspring to waste no time in the prelfminar1es, but knuck1e down as early as possible to the chief problem of to-day. the rolling of stones uphill, or, to put the idea minus the metaphor, the endless and ainnless piling up of treasure. not for any enjoyment the store may bring its possession (that is a minor considera- tion) but simply for the sake of ac- cumulation. Eliot Gregory in the Gen. tury.

While the injury to crops has prob ably reached the worst, the labor situ- ation also seems to have reached a cli- max, writes Banker Clews in his week ly letter. Strikes are on the decline. and indications are that under more careful and prudent leadership labor in the future will avoid some of the mis- takes of the past. The most interest ing question in this respect is, how will business and industry stand the new tax imposed by higher wages? It is quite certain that costs of produc- ton have been considerably increased by the high wages and short hours now in force. This means continued high prices for all manufactured arti- cles and possibly still further advances if mills and factories cannot obtain adequate profits under present condi- tionsi Will consumers pay high prices, or has the limit of their buying power at this level been reached? In many cases it has been reached, and consumers are consequently obliged to either buy less or seek substitutes. Organized labor, though exceptionally well paid, forms only a portion of the entire population, and good many Ia- boring men have impaired their pur- chasing power by strikes and self-im- posed idleness. The situation is fully appreciated by the mercantile classes, who are pursuing a very conservative course until they see how the crop, the financial and the labor isnes are likely to develop during the next two months. While there is much ground for hope fulness in these respects there is also much reason for caution, and prudent business men are acting accordingly The cotton situation is certainly an element of weakness, and will bear close watching.

IN AND OUT OF UNIFORMS.
Arduous Dressing Task of Officers at
 the War Department.

IuG w dI AVCpk1I
 Officers of the army on duty in the war department wear uniforms the same as if thew were on duty at mili- tary posts Occasionally an officer is found who does not appear in uni form. but it is only for day or two at most. The practice has resulted in making nearly every room occupied by officers a dressing room, where wardrobes are kept Most officers dislike very much to appear on the street in uniform; 1t makes them too conspicuous uniforms for use in the department are kept in wardrobe and the officers put them on when they, arrive in the morning, take them off and don civilian dress to go to luncheon, and upon their return in the afternoon and departure for home later go through the same process They don't like it, but it is an order For people doing business at the de partment it is much better, for q stranger knows whether he is talking with an officer or clerk, and if fam iliar with the emblems, can tell the rank of the officer. Several attempts have been made tc nave du OIuSI ISbuEu Ill thC hdSy oC partment which would direct officers on duty there to wear their uniforms but the officers have always made il plain that such an order would not be best.
 s'It is all very we'll" said an officer of the army. ''so far asediscipline is concerned, but uniforms are not need ed in the department or about head quarters in city. Tn garrisons where the uniform is worn all the time, and where all men are soldiers it is, of course, good practice and essential, but it is a greata annoyance in other places, where only a few men are in uniform out of several hundred thousand. .'--Washingt Post.
