The highest wage in the world is
$78. 80 minute for a day of six
hours. It is received by the Gar
of Russia and it is doubtful if many
people would care to thread his
way amid plots and dynamite
bombs even for the wage.
Speaker be Cannon has gone
to New England, and president has
pronounced in favor of financial
Legislation and it is probable that
the republicans in the next con-
gress will get together on a bene-

harmony and good sense.
George w. Beavers, in the post
office scandal, has been indicted and

chapter in mineralogy', in proof
Of which he cites the fact tn

Representative Lands has a new
remedy for lynching. He would

hibits at the st. Louis exposition
will be the liquid air factory. A
kettle of the air will be shown
boiling on a cake of ice while
''steam" issues from the spout and
the boiling will be increased by
throwing a cake of ice into the
kettle. The air, thrown on a
lighted candle, will make it burn
more brightly, while alcohol and
whiskey will be promptly frozen
by it. Strawberries will be frozen
