 Wages of labor on the railways have risen rapidly in recent years. and this great problem has been handled In a most skilled manner. Stubborn strikes have been avoided, the public suffering little inconvenience on this account. Protracted controversies would handi- cap all other industries and cost vast sums. The public owes much to thu able management of the transporting companies on this one point alone.
 During the last decade, the number of railway employees has nearly. doubled. over 5.000,000 people now depending upon the wages so earned.a Roughly speaking, the total amount paid out as wages is about four times as much as the amount distributed as dividends on capital stock. Nor are the old and de- crepit employees discarded after years of faithful service; the Pennsylvania Railroad alone has distributed over $1.- 600.0 in pensions.
 The question of taxes is also worthy of consideration. Tn 1904 the railroads paid into the various Government treas uries about $500 in taxes for each mile of road in operation. This is an aver age that embraces thousands of miles through territory little improved and sparsely populated as yet.

LIQUOR DRINKERS CURED.
Whiskey and Beer Habit Cured at
 Home With No Loss of Time.

Orrine is the only guaranteed cure for the drink habit. can be used at home. and destroys entirely the cray ing for drink, without publicity or loss of time. It quickly removes the cray ing for intoxicants, steadies the nerves, restores the appetite and gives refresh ing sleep.
 Ten thousand grateful letters from those who have been cured by Orrine proves its infallible success. It is the only guaranteed cure for the liquor habit, and we seek the worst cases in the community in order to prove that Orrine cannot fail. It is prepar- ed in two forms-Eo 1. which can be given in tea, coffee or food, without the patients knowledge, and No. 2, which is for those who desire to be cured. The price of either is S1 per box. Sold and recommended by E. c. Fowler. 10 Dexter Avenue thu

tention because of It's occurrence on the day on which the Washington gov ernment officially disclosed the initial role played by Emperor William in the exchange of the powers last year re- garding Chinese neutrality in the far eastern war. Some diplomats believe the object of the German representa- tions at this time is to evoke from Washington similar avowal of ad- herence to the "open door, policy in Morocco.
 Although Secretary Taft was not 50 informed, nor does his memorandum indicate it, 1t is believed here that similar statements of Germany's views may have been addressed also to St Petersburg and Madrid.
 No official statement of the German position is obtainable at the German embassy here in view of he fact that President Roosevelt has scarcely had the time to consider the memorandum.

Man as Housekeeper.
From the indianapolis Star.

An eastern exchange in commenting on
the household servant problem says that
efforts to simplify work, reduce cost and
save labor have not brought the results in
domestic administration which have charac
teriZed the evolution of manufacturing and
business methods. 1t then expresses the be-
lief that If the men of the United States
had to do all the homework of the country
for ten years-not to hire 1t done, but to do
1t themselves-there would be such a shak
ing up of methods as twenty centuries have
not brought about. and VIXEN the women
came back to their own they would find
adequate tools for carrying on home life.
For mans conception of housekeeping. says
this authority. would be mainly pushing a
button, and the house he would have under
operation in six months would be big ma
chine.
Would 1t be. indeed? 1t is a favorite
theory of the average man that he could
improve on his wifes housekeeping. but
there has been ample opportunity in TWEEN
ty centuries for a testing of this belief. and
no proof Of its soundness has ever been
offered. Are not men at the head of the
biggest households of the country-namely.
hotels. and Is hotel housekeeping an i'm
provement on that of the well-ordered pri-
economically managed, is 1t cleaner. are its
processes simplified, are its beds made or
Its rooms swept or its dishes washed by
touching a button?' Is the servant ques
ton any less OF problem to the hotel
keeper than 1t Is to the woman who keeps
maid of all work-when she can keep her?

Return to Wood Paving.
,om the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore Americah
1t is curious that in the process of history
repeating itself there should now be ex-
hibited an almost worldwide tendency in
municipalities to return to the wood-block
pavement. 1t Is the more curious because
of the constant outcry against denudatton
of forests, as, If there should be any gen.
eral revival OF this type of pavement, the
draft upon the trees would be enormously
increased. Another matter for surprise in
this rehabilitation of wood in preference to
stone and asphalt is that its Introduction
years ago when 1t was generally known
as the Nicholson pavement, was at
tended by no end of scandal, which, how
ever was not probably due to the style of
paving but to the style of the PAYERS.
In London and in nearly all of the large
towns and cities of the British provinces
there has been an enormous increase in the
selection of wood paving in preference to
all other kinds. This is the more signti-
cant for the reason that the wood must be
brought from a far-away country, much
of it from Australia. 1t Is put to the proof
in experiments extending over periods or
from fifteen to twenty-five years that the
softer woods creosoted Will have a solid
life of from twelve to fifteen years, while
the harder woods will last from fifteen to
eighteen years. 1t is of record in the parish
of St Pancras, London, where the traffic
amounts during the year to 411,3lS tons
per yard of width, that the wear or the jar
rah wood of Australia was only about one
fifth of an inch per annum. This will hardly
be said Of asphalt, nor yet of the stone
block although 1t would seem that either
of these pavements properly laid would be
superior in wearing power to wood. No
matter what material may be used. the
chief feature contributing to durability is
the manner in which 1t is laid The best
material will soon go to wreck II 1t be
placed upon a rotten concrete foundation
More than a quarter of century ago IN
America the wood pavement OF creosoted
blocks fell into utter disrepute because of
the grating of contractors, or. to put the
best face upon 1t, because the contractors
did not know how to lay the blocks.
