The annual report OF the Nitrate
Association Of Chile which controls
the worlds supply of nitrate of soda.
shows the production In 1902 to have
been 2,9S2,522.80 pounds from sew
enty-eight works. The nitrate beds
are near the surface and are worked
rs stone quarries. 1t is anticipated
that the immense amount of nitrate
the United States now gets from
Chile for use in fertilizers will ulti-
mately be supplied by factories max
ing it by electrical process from the
air, as is icing done at Niagara Falls.

our capitalists conspiring among them
selves, deliberately, shrewdly, upon legal
advice, to break the law SO far as it re-
strained them, and to use it to restrain
others who were in their way. Mr..

capital, and the chief complainant Of

How many of those who have read
through this number of the magazine

on one subject? We did not plan it so;
it is coincidence that the January Nc
Clure's is such an arraignment of Amer
lean character as should make every one
Of us stop and think. How many MOTTO
ed that?
The leading article, "The Shame of
Minneapolis" might have been called
"The American Contempt Of Law" That
title could we'll have served for the cur
rent chapter of Miss Tarbell's History

fitted perfectly Mr.. Bakers ''The Right

Enlistment. which had to be compelled
by a Tammany hOld-Over health officer
to put its tenements in sanitary con-
dition. The colleges? They do not un-
derstand.
There is no one left; none but all of US.
Capital is learning, with indignation at
iabor's unlawful acts, that its rivals
contempt of law is a menace to prop
erty. Labor has shrieked the belief that
the illegal power of capital is menace
to the worker. These two are drawing
together. Last November, when strike
was threatened by the yardmen on all
the railroads centering in Chicago, the
men got together and settled by raising
wages, and raising freight rates too.
They made the public pay. We all are
doing our worst and making the pubic
pay. The public is the people. We for

while each of us in his group can shove
off on the rest the bill of today, the debt
is only postponed; the rest are passing it

NECESSARY TO HEALTH.
Suitable Site Is the Most Important
Item to BE Considered in Se-
lection of a Home.

The site for house or Of one al
ready built should receive the most
careful. attention of the person about
to build or to occupy. A good situa-
ton means life, health, happiness;
bad one means sickness, misery,
death.
If a house or lot is on low, damp
ground do not consider it. In town
or city ascertain if you are on made
underlaid with clay; it will always be
damp. Avoid, too, the neighborhood
Of a swamp, slow river, mill dam or
any tagnant water, or situation ex-
posed to winds that blow from a
swamp Or mill dam. Do not settle
near noisy factory, mill or saloon.
The advantages to be required for
site are an elevation on a natural
hillside Or knoll, as good a neighbor-
hood as one can afford to live in, and
convenient nearness to schools,
churches and stores. In town or vii
lage build ON as large a lot as possible,
SO as to secure air and sunlight and
to have room for nice lawn or gar
den. In town or country buil d back
as far from the street as convenient,
so as to avoid the dust of the dry sea-
son and to allow room for trees and
shrubbery. On the other hand do not
select locality where your family
will be isolated from social intercourse
with friends and neighbors, SO neces-
sary to health of mind and happiness.
Remember that where the sun car
not enter the doctor must, SO let the
house have good sunny exposure, pro-
tected as much as possible from the
cold, searching winds of winter. A
group of evergreen trees on the north
side of the house will help to break and
temper these sweeping winds. The
living rooms should be warmed and
cheered by the morning sun. Refuse,
even if offered rent free, to live in a
house with trees planted close around
it, and in which the sun and free air
of heaven cannot enter.-vAmericau

MIRROR OF A GREEK BEAUTY.

facture, and not Etruscan. The mirror
disk has a diameter of 10 centim eters.
The rejecting surface is slightly, and
a present not uniformly, convex. The
edge of the disk is ornamented with
the egg" pattern, which is not visible
in the illustra ton. The back is plain.
Twenty years ago it was the COM
ment of Creek scholars that despite
the fact that mirrors were shown by
Attic vase paintings and reiefs to
have BEEN in common use, not one had
been found. Since that time a number
have been discovered, of which the
one now at the art institute is a sam
pie.
This mirror has it's handles now de-
tached from the disk. At the back the
bronze part of the handle Us prolonged
upwards in the form of a palmetto,
which served to make the attachment
to the disk secure. In front the orna-
mentation consisted of figure of a
siren with recurved wings, surrounded
by scrolls and palmettes.
The especial interest which attaches
to this Chicago mirror is the TACT that
the handle proper is preservedra cir
cumstance which is recited as unusual
among Greek mirrors of that historic
period. For determining the date of
the mirror there is no evidence, ex-
cept the style of the bronze relief. The
composition as a whole seems to indi-
cate that it was made in the fifth CEN
fury B. C. The year $50 B. C. has been
taken as the approximate date of its
manufacture and USE.
