character.
The government has the monopoly
OF the leaf tobacco business. All
growers of tobacco must sell their
produce to the government, at a price
which is fixed by the rulers. and all
buyers of leaf tobacco must buy it from
the government, paying for it the es-
tablished price, and thus is the gov
eminent sure of a profit at all times
from the tobacco business. Whether
this profit is largely eaten up by the
expenses of managing the business,
do not know, but this is said to be the
case as regards the camphor trade,
crude camphor being monopolized in
the same way by the Japanese govern
ment. which thus controls the supply
of that article of the entire world.
Camphor is produced only in Japan
aud Formosa, which Japan now owns.

College Chapel and Spirit.

The abandonment by most of the
larger universities of daily chapel ex-
ercises-in many institutions these
never were held-has had a disinte-
grating influence socially. whatever
may be urged in its favor on other
grounds, says George E. Vincent in the
World To-Day. In most institutions a
weekly gathering of a part, if not all,
of the student body is still maintained
The effect of such daily assemblies
was undoubtedly to create a sense of
corporate unity. At Yale the academic
undergraduates have voted to con-
time college prayers, chiefly for the
sake of fostering loyalty and comrade-
ship. Unfortunately, few of the great
universities have halls large enough to
seat even half of their students. The
University Hall at Michigan, the great
Greek theater at Berkeley and the new
Wolseley hall at Yale are notable ex-
ceptions.

cANNY CANADA's CANALS.

According to the Minister OF raSl-
ways and canals Canada has alreass
spent on canals $102,4S4,545, an
amount slightly in excess of the out
day authorized for the Improvement or
the Erie Canal by the much larger
population Of New York. 1t is the.
time honored policy of Canada to i'm
prove its natural waterways and cen
struct artificial ones
The result has been as CommerciaA
Agent Hamilton, at Cornwall pointed
out, the development of the ditch 4
feet wide and 2k feet deep into the
magnificent artificial waterway $50
feet wide, with not less than ID feef
of water. Since the confederation of
Canada in 1867 the canals have been
under operation by the Dominion Gov
eminent. The total expenditure on
canal staff and maintenance, repaiE>-
ad renewals, or 1902 was 1864 $50.
The Cornwall Canal which over
comes the Long Sault Rapids is light
ed and operated throughout its entire
length by electricity. Arc lamps OF
1000 candle power are placed every
400 feet, making the line as clear u
night as by day. All gates are operat
ed by five power electric motors

REFORMING THE PRISONER.

After few weeks of sojourn at
Hope Hall, where they become
physically and mentally
for the test of beginning life afresh,
our men go out into the world, wrote
Mrs. Ballington Booth in Good House
keeping. We have hundreds of men
and women in league with us every
where who are willing to choose their
employees from Hope Hall. They know
the past, that is the greatest safeguard.
There is no fear of terrible secret
being set free at some moment to cost
a workman his position and set him
adrift on the world.
People ask me what percentage turn
out well. In 1902, of III men we test
ed in our western Hope Hall and
placed in positions, only thirty proved
unsatisfactory. Everywhere in my
travels about our continent meet our
men, striving nobly in ali walks of life
TO live down the past. Many of them
have become reunited with their fami-
lies, have taken their place again at
the head of happy home, are winning
the respect and faith of a community.
Not a few are back with old employ
ers, making good the promise to turn
over a new leaf. Sometimes | am
asked. as the work worth while?"

STEAM VERSUS ELECTRICITY

The steam railroads vary greatly in
their attitude toward electric competh-
ton, says Ray Morris in the June Al
lantic, but is has been almost the unH-
form exuerience of railroad managers.
east and west, that rate cuts to meet
electric competition are quite fueiAs-
Electric transportation handles traffiEe
in small units. The power-house is fhas
locomotive, and it can haul ten single
cars as easily as it can train CT thss
cars coupled together-more easily Ira
fact. But in steam service, to reygrHes
the figure Of speech, each traEspozsEa
ton unit must have its own p0HsE'
house. Disregarding technical rsEs,rs-
ments, it may be said that il Wd2ltR
cost steam railroad five times ASS
much to run an hourly, singRrlsr
train during fifteen-hour day Rs II
would to run three five-car tcaHnE.
That is the primary reason on th@Siale
of absolute cost which makes il uaVsss-
sible for a steam road to compete wi aln
an electric road for light shoTa{aarSl

200, 900 Firms IN UNITED STATES.

While the cZar of Russia may have
Finland, the United States of Amer
lea will, it is said, have the Firms.
The initial decree of Nicholas II, de-
priving Finland of its constitutional
liberty. was issued in 1899. The eff
fec is that in 1904, 100000 Firms are
en- this side of the Atlantic. In com
mon with Scandinavia and Denmark,
Finland is Lutheran, and among the
13,500,00 Lutherans of these north
European regions other religious
bodies have made almost no prog
ress. Firms who come here labor in
copper and iron mines, they are sea-
men and bridgemen, carpenters ana
dock builders. and farmers and fish
ers. Intelligent and religious, they
are making the best possible citizens
that any nation can be composed Of.
On the skyscrapers of New York, in
the mines of Pennsylvania, on
ranches of Wyoming, and in salmon
fisheries and fir woods of Washing
ton and Oregon they are active, not
alone in making a living, but in
building churches. There is a Finnish
Lutheran synod, that is strong and
growing stronger. Wherever the
Finn is he is tremendous worker.
He makes living, educates his child
rem, and goes to public worship.
Swedes and Danes in America do
this latter, in way to put to shame
English Professionals and even Italian
Catholics. Massachusetts has no few.
er than ten thousand of these Firms
Michigan sixteen thousand. and New
York seven thousand. Even Alaska
has one thousand Finnish fishermen
and miners.

CROSSING THE STATE LINE.
Moving Habit Is Widespread Among
the American People.

Youths Companion-In new coun-
tries people change their place of res
idence frequently. Not being tied
down by long family attachments, they
move about until they find spot that
suits them. In only a few of the old
est American communities are estates
held in one line for generations and
the custom seems not to be growing.
How readily Americans move" is
shown by the fact that hardly two
thirds of the representatives and only
about half of the senators in congress
were Lorn in the states which they
now serve. No member of either house
from Colorado, Idaho, Montana, the
Dakotas, Washington or Wyoming is a
native of the state he represents. Both
senators of old Indiana were born in
Ohio; so were the West Virginia SEN
ators. Speaker Cannon of Illinois was
born in North Carolina, and Mr.. Will
Jams of Mississippi, the democratic
leader, in Tennessee.
Virginia is the largest state repre-
scented in both houses wholly by ma
tive sons. Delaware, Maine and Yer
mont are the only others on the list.
Pennsylvania is represented chiefly by
native Pennsylvanians, but New York,
among the old states, shows an oppo-
site tendency.
In the earlier history of the country
men often became prominent in the
politics of several states in turn. James
Shields, whose figure stands in statu-
airy hall as the gift of Illinois, served
three states in the United States SEN
ate. Sunset Cox represented Ohio
IN congress and afterward in New
York. George w. Jones held import
ant offices in Missouri, Wisconsin,
Iowa and the Northwest territory. Sen
ator Elkins of West Virginia was at
one time the territorial delegate from
New Mexico.
The rivalry of New Hampshire and
Massachusetts in claiming Daniel
Webster gave rise to a waggish re-
mark by Senator Hoar. Somebody
asked if the statue of Webster which
New Hampshire has erected in Wash
;ngton looked like him, to which the
Massachusetts senator replied that it
did when Webster was New Hamp.

THE STAGE OF TODAY.
PubIic's independence and Discriml.
nation a Favorable Sign.

David Belasco in Smart Set.-To my
mind the most hopeful feature of the
theatrical situation in America is the
great spirit of independence and dis
elimination which the public has
shown lately with regard to theatrl-
cal attractions. For the managers,
to be sure, it has been a bitter ex-
perience, but it has taught them, I
think, a much-needed lesson. They
realize that the public is no longer to
lie taken in by "hub-dub;" the bitter
truth has been borne in on many Of lis
that the dear old public will no longer
swallow buncombe whole. For four
or five years the country enjoyed
period of exceptional prosperity. The
people were more or less theatermad.
Plays good, lad and Indifferent attract
ed large audiences, their managers
made money hand over fist. But
with last season the tide turned.
The first victim, and the one that
most richly deserved its fate, was the
badly dramatized novel. The pubic
refused to swallow any
more of these crude and inchoate con.
coctions dramatized over night and
literally chucked upon the stage after
a couple Of weeks' rehearsals. The
next in line to suffer was the made-to.
order star--the man or woman who,
after one or two successes in leading
roles, suddenly blossomed out as
would-be arc light in the theatrical
armament.
II the past disastrous season has
done nothing else 1t has at least re-
duced these two theatrical imposi.
tons TO their proper level. And | make
this statement in all kindness, too, for
40 one knows better than | of the
ceaseless toll, the unselfsh devotion,
the indomitable perseverance and the
heart-breaking setbacks which many
actresses and some few actors are ex.
periencing in their sincere struggles
to reach the top of the ladder ald to
maintain their position there.
The stage in America today Is stag.
nant on account of the commercial
spirit which has been introduced into
its dealings during the last six or seven
years. No one appreciates and de-
plores this fact more than the actors
themselves-and no one more's the
pity-is so afraid to say so. II the
actors are under yoke of commercial
tyranny today they have themselves
to blame for 1t. There was time

They're better friends nor any Chris
tian. Lors, it's fine thing to have
a dumb brute fond on you; it'll stick
TO you, and make no jaw" George
Eliot. wise as he was, never wrote
anything wiser; and her wisdom is
still in fashion, even in these fin de
steele days. What does Jerome say
and the chronicler of Montmorency
may be supposed to know of what he
was talking. They are much superior
to human beings as companions. They
do not quarrel VI argue with you. They
never talk about themselves, but listen
to you while you talk about yourself,
and keep up an appearance of being
interested in the conversation. They
never make stupid remarks. They
never observe to Miss Brown across
the dinner table that they always I'M
Jones (who has just married Miss
RobinsoI). They never mistake your
wife's cousin for her husband, and
fancy that you are the father-in-law.
And they never ask a young author
with fourteen tragedies, sixteen
comedies, seven farces, and couple
of burlesques in his desk, why he
doesn't write play. They never say
unkind things. They never tell us of
of our fault, merely for our own
good They do not, at inconvenient
moments, mildly remind us of our past
follies and mistakes.
'They do not say: oh, yes, a lot OF

THE ALLleAToR's INCIDENCE
1t Takes Him Five Years Even to

Mississippi man is responsible for Ehe'
following: "Alligators live a long
time and it takes them a long time to
die. Formerly. on the Tomb, s. bee
river, there was for years los AZ n

sengers were in the habit of stepping
in passing from the steamer to abe

One fat gentleman fell upon his hands
and knees and the alligator spanked
him so hard that the man flew through
the air like a rocket and fe1 back up
on the deck of the steamer. Imagine
the surprise of those passengers That
alligator was twenty-four feet long
and he had been five years dying"
The Mississippi negroes say that xM
alligator will sometimes prop his upper
jaw on stick about two feet high anA
go to sleep with his mouth open. Files
and other insects light upon the sur-
face of the cool recess thus afforded,
and frogs climb in after the flies
When the alligator has thus acquired
a dainty mouthful he shuts his jaws
and swallows.
