wives and daughters in some parts OF
India. If a man wants money he puts
these members of his establishment in

until the debt is discharged. The Gus

able PROFIT to Farmers.

The time is not far distant when
nearly every farmer will have a tele.
phone in his house, to be used. not
only in his business. but for conven-
fence and pleasure as we'll. About i've
years ago the wholesale introduction of
the phone in the agricultural district
commenced, and now it is considered
an essential part of farm equipment by
at least a half-million farmers. It lie
particularly useful to large farms and
cattle ranges and to the truck farmers
near the large cities and in the south,
The advantages are many, and the cost
is slight. The telephone enables the
farmer to keep in closer touch with the
markets than even the daily papers
permit. He is thus able to take adj
vantage of a rising market and send
on his produce or stock, or hold OF in
the face of declining prices. Out in
Illinois last year buyers from outside
began to clean up the broom corn at
$50 ton, when telephone manager
called up the farmers on his line and
told them the market was rising rapid
ly. The result was that before the
season ended they got $240 per ton for
their crop. The telephone is of great
benefit in time Of danger from frost,
as 1t enables the farmer to receive the
frost warnings disseminated by the
weather bureau from IL to 80 hours
in advance of the threatened freeze.
Information of this kind to be If value
must be received at the earliest prac-
ticable moment, as 1t takes time to

the American farm has come to stay,
and its advent marks a distinct step
forward.-Midland Farmer.

THE UNHEALTHY TRADES.
Fatalities Of the Various Callings and
Industries-Consumption
Most Common.

For centuries the tailor has been the
subject of testing pity because his trade
was supposed to make him physically
weak. while the stonecutter has been
usually represented as the image Of
strength. So sailors and miners are
supposed to follow dangerous trades, as
indeed they do, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean, IL the chances of external injury
alone be considered, while bookkeepers
and statesmen are supposed to be in lit
tie danger from their occupations.
Disease, however, kills scores where
accidents kill one, and of all diseases
consumption kills the most adults. And
with regard to deaths from consump-
ton a life insurance expert has recently
prepared chart, from official mortality
returns, which upsets many popular no.
lions as to the relative healthfulness or
unhealthfulness of various trades. It
covers 30 leading trades, and shows
the percentages of deaths from con-
sumption to deaths from all causes of
workers in each.
In the middle stand the painters and
grocers, with percentages Of 1874 and
24.2. From grocers the figures rise
through liquor dealers, molders, long
shoremen, potters, cigar-makers, silk
workers, hatters, statesmen, plumbers,
bookkeepers, brassworkers, glasswork-
ers, printers, and stoneworkers, Of
whom 45.1 per cent. die Of consump-
ton.
From painters the figures go down
through brewers, bakers, policemen,
weavers, iron and steel workers, ma
sons, butchers, carpenters, tailors,
blacksmiths. merchants, sailors, brake
men and miners, of whom only GA per
cent. die of consumption.
1t is certainly something of sur
prise to learn that the most widely fatal
of maladies is less likely to kill the pro-
verbally weak tailor than the proven.
bially strong butcher. and that sailors.
who must endure the most sudden and
violent changes Of temperature, are less
subject to consumption than printers.
who can hardly work at all except in
reasonably even temperature.
In this connection it is interesting to
note that large employers of labor are
being convinced with increasing ease
and rapidly that provision of clean,
well ventilated, and properly heated and
lighted shops is an investment that pays
good dividends by increasing the con-
tentment and preserving the health OF
their employees, and that in this manner
the mortality Of even the unhealthiest
trades may be sensibly diminished.

VOTED FOR NATIONAL AID.
Senate Committee Will Report in Fa-
vor Of Uncle sam Helping I'm
prove the Highways.

The friends Of national aid to road
improvements have achieved their first
general victory in congress. The sen
ate committee on agriculture has de-
cided to report favorably on the Gall
linger- Latimer bill, which is q dupli.
cate Of the bill introduced in the house
by Representative Brownlow. The
vote is reported to have stood six tc
one in favor Of the measure. Fous
democratic senator's. Bate, Of Tennes
see: Money. Of Mississippi; SimmoaA
of North Carolina. and Latimer, Of
South Carolina, and two republicans.
Foster. Of Washington, and Quay, Of
Pennsylvania, voted for q favorable
report. The only vote in opposition
was that Of Senator Proctor. OF YER
mont.
! Before voting on the bill the COM
mittee adopted several amendments af-
fecting the distribution of the road inn
provement fund among the states.
One. which was insisted upon by Sena-
tor Foster. Of Washington, provides
that 100000 is to go to each state, and
that the balance is to be divided in
proportion to population. Another
amendment provides that in making
the distribution according to popula-
ton the cities of over 10000 shall not
be counted. This amendment is like
ly to provoke strong opposition. on
the ground of injustice to those states
which contain large cities. 1t will be
charged that this provision amounts
to very much the same thing as tax
alton without representation"
On the whole, however, this report
must be considered as a great forward
step, and an indication that ultimate
success will be achieved in the near
future.
