In Chicago the price of bread is to
be advanced two cents per loaf, and
the announcement is made that the
price Of beef is to be put up two cents
per pound. Meanwhile there is a
strike of coffin-makers and collins are
growing scarcer and dearer all the
time, and there has been an advance
in the price of carriages for funerals.
In the face of all these things, what
are the poor people to do? They can
neither afford to live nor to die.

youth of irreproachable attire and
self-satisfed mien got off a Broadway
car at Thirty-fourth street the other
day and accepted transfer for
cross-tOwn car says the New York
Mail and Express. He deposited the
paper daintily in the cuff of the light
overcoat he wore, and stood waiting
at the corner-in the crowd, but not
of it. There came to him a newsboy,
yelling Justify and proffering a paper,
which the youth ignored, The "newsy"
returned to the attack. Here was
man actually boarding a street car
without a newspaper to read. Doubtless
he would regret it before he had gone
a block. The newsboy would shock him
into an appreciation of his folly.
'Poiper!" he vociferated, brandishing
his wares till they touched the sleeve
of the disdainful one.
At this the youth stepped back, and
made show of brushing the contami-
nation from his coat. II wish you
wouldn't annoy me so'' he said petu-
lantly.
The rebuff took the street arabs
breath, but he recovered his wits. His
eye fell on the colored transfer attach
ed to the coat sleeve of the youth, and
it gave him an idea.
Say, Mister" he exclaimed, pointing
his finger so that everybody would
look, yer forgot to take the price
mark off'n yer hand-me down.

Mr.. J. P. Morgan has enriched the
language with a new phrase, ''undigest-
ed securities" Now the New York
World calls on him to give definition
of what it it means. What are 'undi-
gested securities?' asks the World.
Are they the securities which Mr..
Morgan has sold to other people but
which the purchasers have not been
able to sell to anybody else, or are
gan has not succeeded in selling at ALP
The question is pertinent, and, as our
contemporary suggests, "the public's
appetite for securities, raw or cooked,
might be improved by an elucidation."

A contemporary calls attention to
what it regards as a significant fact,
in that temperance is apparently MAX
ing Roadway in the South, while it is
retrograding in the North. In five or
six of the Southern states, including
Georgia, three-fourths of the counties
have voluntarily voted liquor out, and
the dry" counties are becoming more
numerous year after year. Meanwhile
in Vermont and New Hampshire pro-
hfbition has been voted a failure and
abandoned in favor of laws more lib
eral. The reason for this showing is
not far to seek. Ir Vermont and New
Hampshire general prohibition laws
were adopted. 1t was sought to force
temperance with the aid of the police
mans club. Naturally the effort failed.
In the South the rational system of
local option has been adopted and
campaign of education waged in it's
behalf. Under the local option plan. as
soon as a community is ready for pro-
hihition, the majority of voters so de-
clare themselves at the polls, and pro-
hibition is instituted. Where the ma
jority favors the abolition of the sa-
loon the law is Obeyed and respected;
but where the majority is against pro-
hibition it is folly to attempt to en-
force a prohibitory law. Vermont and
New Hampshire have learned this, and
have had the moral courage to change
their laws in conformity with their
better judgment.

ances which in the German churches
have been considered extremely rad

the father never had. DR.. Friedrich
Delitzsch's emineDce as a scholar has
been derived from his explorations in
the territory which once was occupied
by the great Babylonian empire. There
he has made nota BILE discoveries. CORE
spending to those made by Prof. Hill
precht, of the University of Pennsyl-
vania. As the result Of his archaeology
ical discoveries concerning the life of
these ancient BabyloMans, Dr.. De-
litzsch has formulated, concerning the
Babylonian origin Of religious concep-
tons Of the Old Testament, conclusions
which he regards as subversive of be-
lief in revealed religion as commonly
held. These conclusions regarding
Biblical criticism are not, however,
says the Outlook, those of an
expert; and they have been con-
verted by Biblical critics of the
radical school. Unlike his theological
opinions. his archaeological discov
cries have been of great value. Fly
bringing to light records of the com
mon life and of the political institu-
tions Of the ancient Babylonians. they
have made the life Of that ancient peo-
pie seem very human to us, not to say
almost modern. Dr. Delitzxch uses the
English language f1uently. American
students in Germany have found him
especially approachable. His interests
are broad. He is far from being a
recluse; he is rather, as one of his
American pupils has said, a citizen Of
the world.

SOME BIG PROJECTS.
One Million Acres of Arid Land
About to Be Reclaimed.
Government Engineers Will Trans
form Desert Wastes Into Fruit
and Vegetable Gardens Of
Rare Pr0ductiveness. .

Actual work will commence this sum-
mer ON five huge irrigation projects,
which have been undertaken by the
national government. Their object is
the reclamation of 100000 acres of
land. There are $l0,0O0,0OO on hand to
begin the work. This is regarded as
''ample to make beginning." Govern
ment officials are not making any esti-
mates on the amount which will be
spent before the work is completed,
but they say emphatically that for
every dollar of outlay there will be ten
fold returns. The desert is to be made
to blossom as the rose. ),
The secretary of the interior, says
the Chicago Journal, has given his Off
cial approval of five irrigation projects,
and the lands affected by them have
been Withdrawn from entry or sale.
They are "impounded,' SO to speak, un-
til they shall be opened to settlement
in accordance with the terms of the
new irrigation law For many months
these localities have been under exam
ination by scores of expert engineers,
photographers, and surveyors, who
have mapped them, measured the wa
tiers, explored the supplies, drilled the
beds, recorded the flows, and made all
manner of estimates calculated to
throw light on their adapta bility to the
needs of irrigation. On the basis of
these reports Prof. F. II. Newell, of the
geological survey, recommended them
to the secretary, and the latter has
given orders that the work go ahead.
The work will be under the general
direction of Prof. +. II. Newell, who was
selected for this duty by the secretary
of the interior. George Y. Wisner, of
