UNHEALTHY TRADES.
Sanitary Work Rooms Good Invest
ment for Employers.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean,
FOR centuries the tailor has been the sub
1ect OF testing pity because his trade was
supposed to make him physically weak.
while the stonecutter has been usually rep
resented as the image of strength. So sail
OTIS ana miners are supposed to follow dan
serous trades, as indeed they do if the
chances of external injury alone be con-
sidered, while bookkeepers and statesmen
are supposed to be in little danger from
their occupations
Disease however, kills SCORES where ac-
cldentS Kill one, and of all .liEsases con-
sumption kills the most adult And with
regard to deaths from consumption a life
insurance expert has recently prepared a
chart, from official mortality returns, which
upsetS many popular notions as to the rela-
tive healthfulness or 1unhealthfulness of
various trades. 1t covers thirty leading
trades and shows the percentages of
deaths from consumption to deaths from all
ca uses of, workers in each.

From grocers the figures rise through liquor

glassworkers, printers and stoneworkers, of

1t is certainly something of surprise to
learn that the most widely fatal of maladies
Is less likely to kill the, proverbially weak
tailor than the proverbially strong butcher,
and that sailors, who must endure the
most sudden and violent changes of tenn
perature. are less subject to consumption
than printers. who can hardly work at all
except in reasonably even temperature.
In this connection 1t is interesting to note
that large employers of labor are being
convinced with increasing ease and rapfdity
that provision of clean, well ventilated and
properly heated and lighted shops is an in
vestment that pays good dividends by in
creasing the contentment and preserving
the health of their employees, and that in
this manner the mortality of even the I'M
healthfest trades may be sensibly dimin-
iShed

In the civil war there were numerous
coffee substitutes. The principal was po-

and parched. The beverage was declared
to be potable. A Texas regiment used corn,
parching the grains till they were a black

out of rice and other cereals beside corn.

I called on Secretary Wilson the other
day to ask some questions on capital ana
labor from the standpoint of the farmer.
My interview was held at the Department
Of Agriculture during the busiest hour Of
the day, and the Secretary answered my
questions between jobs. AS he did SO 1
was surprised at his versatility. He is
like Napoleon in that he can do four
things at time and do them all well.
His mind seemed to jump at seconds

was the appointment of man to investi-
