BEARD DID IT.

A recent graduate of one of the great universities secured a place with well known New York firm at modest sal ary. He fulfilled all his duties satia- factorily, but there seemed to De some thing lacking. Business callers did nos seem to take him seriously, and one would occasionally inquire:
 Say, BCb, where's the boss 9"
 The graduate finally decided to raise a beard. g Al the end of a week his e,n- ploycr came to him anr said:
 Its rather delicate subject, but I'm glad that you have realized thlt it is your youthful appearance that has been keeping you back. You will take charge of the shipping department tomorrow"
 And some people say that appear ances count for nothing" remarked the graduate. Tt took me four yellrs to get a college education, and in four weeks I'll have a beard. I made S10 a week on the strength of the education. anr got promoted the first week on the strength of the beard"

WALL STREET CLAIMS ITS OWN

In pursuance Of precedent and cour- tesy, it was agreed by the members of the Democratic National Comm ttee and other party leaders attending the St Louis convention. that Judge Par kcr should be permitted tc select his camraign manager. It is understood that the nominees preference is for a titular and an active chairman. for mer to be Senator Bailey or Senator German and the latter Mir w. r. Shee- han. It is known that Judge Parker does not want August Belmont of Wall street for chairman; although he is willing to recognize the financial pow CTS behind his nomination by ma king Belmont treasurer or the committee
 But Belmont has practically demand ed the chairmanship of the National Comrcittee Of Judge Parker, and there will be dissatisfaction in the street" if his demand is not granted. Thus early in this new and extraordinary game into which the Democratic party has been drawn have the trusts made claim for their own. It was the per sonal representative of Belmont who was clCseted with Parker part Of the time in the many hours that elapsed between the final political compromise reached by the St. Louis convent. on and the sending of the Parker tele- gram. which knocked that ccmprom'se awry, amazed the delegates and filed many of them with indignation and re- sentiment.

EXAcTING TRIBUTE OF RUSSIAN
 SOLDIERS

I was gradually failing asleep when beastly drunk sergeant major was the dis-urber of the quiet in the barracks. He approached some of the sleeping young soldiers, woke them rudely and asked them:
 Who is our present Secretary (NFnister) of War? What is his name. surname, full title?"
 Woe to those who did not answer promptly and correctly. They received q sound flashing with the bucl0led end of @ heavy soldiers belt.
 What does this mean? asked of my freind Ivan Ivanoff. 'Is that allowed in our squad?"
 Allowed. Of course it is contrary to all laws and regulations. But our sergeant-major is a personal favorite Of the chief of our regiment, and may do what he pleases with impunity l. is Ike this: The recruits punished by rhe sergeant-major are poor devils who failed to pay the customa1y y tribute when entering the squad. The sergeant-rl ajor is a brutal and greedy fellow, half-crazed with drink. He feels Gry and wants to get some money
 ,EIow high is the tribute paid by the recruits to the serSeant-m -major?''
 Not less than three rubies, at any rate. Yes bitter is the life of G young soldier" concluded my friend, medi- actively. -Harpers Weekly.

The Canal and Evil Prophets.

The Mexican Herald quotes an arti-
 cle from the pen of Dr. c. 4. Stephens in support of the view that the Pana- ma canal cannot be completed for many years. pr. Stephens gives some figures as to the amount of work to be performed. He finds that it will be necessary to move 341,6OO,OOO cubic meters of earth and stone, and says:
 During their most successful year, 1897, the new company employed 3,6OO men and removed mainly in the Cule- bra cut, 96O 900 meters, chiefly earth. This was by far the best ever done by the French. Adding 40 per cent to this 96O,OOO meters for better American methods and better machines and as- suming that the United States will em- ploy 2O,0OO laborers in the place of S.600, we find that to remove 341,6OO, 600 cubic meters forty-six years and nine days will be required, or until 1851. By employing 3O,0O0 laborers the work might be done in about thirty years. More than 3O,OOO could not be advan- tageously worked there At best, there fore. allowing nothing for contingen- cles or accidents, a tide water canal at Panama could not be completed be- fore 1896, which few of the present gen. eratino would see"
 Getting into the details of the work, Dr. Stephens says that the Culebra cut at the summit between two oceans will be the greatest work of any kind ever undertaken by man. One-ffth of a mile broad at the top, 15O feet broad at the bottom. nearly 400 feet deep at the deepest. with varying depths through miles of length, it is the most stupendous thing in the way of earth moving ever contemplated by engi- neers. The figures" he says, convey little idea of the tremendous quantity of earth and rock which must be re- moved. It is not until one descends into this vast trench and marks how tiny the locomotive and the great steam excayators look when seen in the pro- digious depth and breadth of the ex- cnvation, that a conception of this more than herculean labor dawns on the mind. It is like Niagara. and must be contemplated for while. It makes me shudder to think of the human suf- fering implied by ten years of labor here on the part of 5000 men in a heat which is terrible. But only at the price of all this can stately vessels steam through the Culebra."
 The trouble with pr. Stephens is that they are based on what the French did and failed to do at Panama. Americans will refuse to admit the fairness of the premise.

MALARlAL INFECTION AT PAN
 AHA

The most important Tart of our san itation I think. will turn upon the con- trol of malaria in these villages. Most of the houses are still in pretty fair shape of repair, and many of them are still occupied by the families of the former employees on the canal The men have wandered off to the neigh boring republics in search of employ ment. It is estimated that there is stil a population of about fifteen thousand in these villages along the canal These people are all, more or less, suffering from malaria. The anopheles mos quito, which is the malarial mosquito, bites them, becomes herself infected, and when she in turn bites a new conner, conveys malarial fever to him. If we introduce forty-hve thousand unacclimated people into these villages intimately associated with the present infected population, our condition, in the course of a year or two, will be about as bad as that of the French. The mosquitoes that become infected from the present population would soon have bitten most of the newcomers, and, in a few months, they, would all be suffering from malaria. Now, we propose to organize, as we did in Ha
 vana, mosquito brigades in all these villages, who will destroy the breeding places of the mosquitoes, and thus keep the insect down 70 it's lowest numbers. At the same time we expect to take all the present population in these villages, find out who have ma laria, make a record of each individ- ual case. and keep them under daily treatment till the malaria parasite has passed from the blood.
 We hope that, a year from now, when our unacclimated population
 comes, it will be to clean ,uninfected villages, with all the present native popula tion free from malarial infection and that there will be left very few malarial mosquitoes and that these few malarial mosquitoes, rot being able to bite any human being previously in- fected with malaria, will be harmless. This is not an entirely theoretical scheme. In Havana yellow fever was cared for in just the way that we pro- pose for malaria. The infected human being was taken and placed under screening, and treated until he was free from infection, and thus no yellow fever mosquito was allowed to bite him during the infected period and be- come herself infected At the same time, wholesale mosquito destruction was carried on.
 At the end of about eight months of this work, it was found that the number of yellow fever mosquitoes had been greatly decreased, and those that were left could find no human being infected with yellow fever, whereby they. the yellow fever mosquitoes, might become infected and thus con- vey it to other human beings. For the past three years Havana has been free from yellow fever. An unacclimat- ed man can go to Havana now and though he may probably be bitten a good many times by yellow fever mos quitoes, these mosquitoes have had no opportunity, in the past three years, of biting a human being infected with yellow fever, and, therefore, are them selves entirely harmless, This condi-

The Strike Settlement.

The whole country has cause for
 congratulation in the settlement of the
 meat handlers strike. The trouble
 threatened gravely the prosperity of
 the country The striking employees
 of the packing houses at Chicago, St. Louis Kansas City, Omaha, St. Paul and eastern seaboard points numbered quite 5O,0OO men. and had the difficulty spread to the affiliated unions probably half million men would have been affected There were possibilities that the strike would reach such propor- tions as to cause a stagnation of busi ness in general and everybody knows that when the wheels of industry slow down" it is long time before normal prosperity can be restored. In presi- dential year the tendency of business is always toward contraction, and the influence of a widespread strike would have been disastrous.
 The trouble ended yesterday has presented two encouraging features the refusal of other trades to go on a sympathetic strike and their earnest 'ef- forts to bring the packers and strikers together in an arbitration. The con- se-vatism exhibited by the leaders of the trades closely connected with the meat handlers places them in a favor able light before the public. The pack CTS offered to arbitrate the differences before the strike was called, and thanks to the influence of the labor leaders the meat handlers organization a satisfactory arbitration is now a cer- tainty.
 Upon the whole, it may be said that there is a marked reaction from the spirit of radical!sm r&ich distin- guished many of the labor organiza- tions a few months ago. The settle ment of this packing house strike is one of the evidences of this reaction rkere is more of a tendency to take ] common sense view when differences arise between employer and employees. The recent address of President Keefe of the Longshoremen's union is one of he examples of this tendency toward 
 Sympathetic strikes" said MT Keefe, should never be countenance6 or sane .ioncd by this organization. We may give our moral support or we may lend financial assistance where the same may be merited and the cause found worthy. But our honor and integrity IS an organization is bound up in our contracts and agreements and our very is at stake. To violate these agreements and contracts by a sympa- hetic strike would be suicide and dis lonor. Public sentiment says that ar oftration is the most equitable medium Tor the solution of differences and dis agreements between industrial forces"
 The industrial millennium is not yet n sight, but there is ground for hope ghen organizations like the longshore- nen, noted heretofore for in;emperate -ction, approve the doctrine that sym strikes are wrong in principle
 md that consultation and arbitration mould be the guiding motto of both apital and labor.

The construction of the Chicago drain age canal was a fair instance of the manner in which Americans go about such work. American engineers and American contractors are in a class by themselves. European competitors are left so far behind that they are not in sight. In the last few years Amer ican bridge builders, for instance, have secured the cream of the worlds busi- ness because they could furnish the completed structures within one fourth of the time required by European con tractors.
