I ought to have sense enough not to write treason while a guest on British soil) Well, I don't care a darn.

 Well, sir. we have been through the Suez canal, and for a great modern piece of engineering it doesn't size up with a sewer In Milwaukee, or a bayou in Louisiana. It is just dig gng a railroad cut through the desert, and letting in the water, and there you are. The only question in its con- struction was plenty of dredging ma chimes, and a place to pile the dirt and water that came in of its own accord. and stays there, and smells like thun- der, and you see the natives look at 1t and keep away from the banks, for fear the banks will cave in on them. and give them a bath before their year is up, cause they don't bathe but once a year, and when they skip a year mo- body knows about 1t.
 Our boat went right along, and got out of the canal, because tt was a mail boat, but most of the boats we saw were tied up to the bank, waiting for the millennium. We saw some Russian boats waiting for the war to blow over, and as we passed them ev- cry Russian on board looked scared, as though we were Japs. and were go- ing to fire a torpedo under them. or throw a bomb on deck. and when our boat got by the Russian boat the crew was called to prayers, to thank the Lord, or whoever 1t is that the Rus sans thank, because they had escaped a dire peril. I guess the Russians are all in, and that those who have not gone to the front are shaking hands with themselves, and waiting for the dove of peace to alight on their guns.
 The Suez canal probably pays, and no wonder cause they charge what they please to boats that go through, and if they don't pay, all they have to do is to stay out, and go around a

Edith Abbott in Harper's Weekly.
 The economic causes usually assign ed for the low wages of the woman worker are the oversupply due to the fact that so few occupations are open to her. the lack of organization among women wage-earners, the fact that women are seldom Drought up to the trade" and consequently are less high ly skilled than men, the influences of custom and public opinion and the po- litical disabilities of women.
 The most recent and authoritative statement on the subject by an econ omist of note is to be found in Prof. Nicholson's new "Elements of Political He says: When large numbers of women were employed in the same industries as men the ten dency was for the men to gain the ad- vantage in industrial competition; they were superior In physical strength and still more so in moral coercion.
 Thus women were gradually ex- cluded from the more gainful occupa- tions, and by force of habit they came to be considered unwomanly Until recently. though half the people in the world are females, there was still a prejudice against lady doctors; and though women are often litigants, they are rarely lawyers. even if the law permits. The exclusion of women from certain occupations increased the supply and thus lowered the wages in employments to which they were admitted. In recent years. however. the great natural economic forces have been working in favor of women

Gibraltar. in Spain and England.- My Dear Foster Uncle: It seems good to get somewhere that you can hear the English language spoken by the Irish. and the English soldiers are nearly all Irish. When you think of the way the British government treats the Irish, and then you look on while an orderly sergeant calls the roll or company, and find that nine out of ten answer to Irish names. and only one nut of ten has the cockney accent, you feel that the Irish ought to rule Eng land, and an O'Rourke or an CShan- messy should take the place Of King Edward. It makes a boy who was brought up in an Irish ward in Amer lea feel like he was at home to mix with British soldiers who come from the old sod.
 Dad says that there is never an army anywhere in the world. except the armies of Russia and Japan, that the bravest men are not answering to Irish names, and always on the advance In a fight, or in the rear when there Is a retreat. Dad says that In our own army, and when the north and south were fighting, the Irish boys were the fellows who saved the day. They wanted to fight nights and Sundays, and never struck for an eight-nour- day, or union wages. When the fight ing was over and soldiers were SICK, or discouraged, and Respondent, an Irish soldier would come along, maybe on crutches, or with bullet in his innards, and tell funny stories and make the discouraged fellows laugh in spite of themselves, and when an other fight was on you had to tie the wounded Irish soldiers to their cots in the hospital, or put them in jail, 10 keep them from forgetting their wounds and going to the front for one more fight. Dad says if there was an Irish nation, with an army and navy the whole world would have to combine to whip them, and yet the nation that has the control of the Irish people treats them worse than San Francisco treats Chinamen. makes them live on notatoes. and allows landlords to take away the potatoes if they are shy on the rent.

What Drinking Costs.

Chicago 1nter-Ocean.
 If the money spent by union men in saloons" said one debater at the Chicago Federation of Labor on Sum- day, were put into a fund to establish the eight hour day, we would have 1t in short order. and without any legls- lation either"
 The man who said this doubtless oyerrates the power of money to change industrial conditions. There are probably some industries which ' could not go on at all at present with an eight hour day. Their margin of profit is so small that if the volume of production were reduced one-fifth daily the cost would be raised to a point where the product would become unstable.
 Yet there is a good deal of truth in what he said. There is not the slight est doubt that most drinking of alco- holic beverages is a waste. Not be- cause alcohol Is a poison under all cir cumstances, but because the food value of such beverages is so slight that the buyer of them gets practically nothing for his money.
 The factory value of the distilled and malt liquors made in this country in 1900 was $334.06S,155. They cost the men who drank them four or five times that amount. It Is true that these industries In the same year gave more or less profit on $447,S36,076 capital to S,S14 proprietors, bought $66.S22.T12 worth of material. paid $27,556,529 in wages to 43,254 persons. and gave live- lihoods to several hundred thousand middlemen between the producer ant consumer.
 Yet if the American people would all stop drinking they could with the money thus saved each year pay all the distillery and brewery workers their present wages, pay the proprie- tors of the industry 10 per cent on their capital and pay the sellers of ma terlal to 1t 10 per cent on their sales as compensation for the loss of trade, at a total cost of about $S0,00O,0o0. They might even support. until their bread winners could find other work all the families of the middlemen in the business, and still save an enor- nous amount-perhaps $5o0ooo.ooo q year.
 Wholly aside from it's moral and so- ciaI effects the use of alcohol as beverage is to a large extent mate rial waste. The mere figures show 1t.

easels and statues and busts and spln- dle-legged tables and fragile chairs and obtrusive footstools, in danger every second of stumbling or knock ing something over, things are wrong with that setting.
 Another mistake is to have too It, tie light. Why darkness and gloom should be sought in any portion of house where people must live, has al- ways been to me an unsolvable prob- lem. Mysterious corners are in order in a cob-webbed attic or an under ground cellar, but they are seriously out of place in pleasant room into which visitors are ushered, and which is supposed to be a rallying spot for the family.
 Light does no harm. Although the strong rays of the sun may somewhat impair the first freshness of uphol- stery. yet they tone down crudeness of color and in the end are an im- and glorify the room," was the cheer full order for the day of Sydney Smith.

 II IS wOndeTIuI now one S luiiiBo i1- spends to ones mood. Certain easy chairs welcome you to their embrace when you are tired out, and rest you almost as if they knew they were do- ing it; they seem to have caught tho spirit of the house, and have a per sonality of their own.
 Certain chairs and footstools belong to certain people. I knew a dear old lady, blind for years. who always oc- cupied one corner of a large and com fortable sofa. Children and grand children were careful not to usurp this throne of the serene and beautiful ma torn. who dwelt in the dark, but liked to have everything cheery about her. Sometimes a stranger. not knowing the traditions of the home, would in- stall herself in the mothers place but was always gently conducted to an- other seat. The setting of that house was not perfect unless the mother took her accustomed place. When she was gone forever, the mistress of the house rearranged every room, and carried that sofa to another part of her do- main. She felt that. for awhile at least, no one else could sit there; the old sofa in her thought was sacred and would almost feel profaned if used by others than the one to whom it had belonged, through so many pleasant seasons.
 All this of course is sentiment, and Mir. Gradgrind does not understand 1t; with his incessant demand for facts and statistics. he cannot enter into the joy that comes from feeling. Yet feel ing is the chrlsm of life.
 It is possible to make too much of life's setting. as I have said. and to spend so much labor on externals that there Is no time for satisfaction In the inner life, but while women continue to he queens regnant in their homes, they will take pleasure In having the

 Dad thought war had surely broke out, or that some rich American owned the yacht, but it turned out to be Queen Alexandra and a party of tous- ists. and and when the band played God Save the Queen" dad got up on his hind legs and sang so loud you would think he would split hisself, and fellow went up and threw his arms around dad. and began to weep, and the tears came into dads eyes. and another fellow pinched dads watch. and the celebration closed with everybody getting drunk, and the queen sailed away.
