from England to take up his resi-.
dence in Oklahoma, said:
Il SOlemnly believe that there
would be a revolution of a very
terrible character in England to-
morrow were it not for the abso-
lutely colossal charities existing
there. The amount bequeathed
annually for the maintenance of
existing charities and the foun-
dation of new ones is beyond be-
lief. There will be at least %.
600 unemployed men in London
alone this winter-men willingt tn

but for the vast charities of the
rich nothing could stop a most
bloody revolution.

Business Life.

Let us hop out of the peck measure and take at least a half bushel survey of things, enthusiastically observes the New York Mail. The morale of our business life is not to be measured by the rascals who occasionally come to the surface in it any more than the potency of the Christian religion is to be judged by the backsliders from 1t. Nine hun dred and ninety nine men out of every 1000 in our New York financial dis trict'' are strictly honest. Can anybody there go out and lay his hand on d knave this afternoon? The passage and payment of myriads of checks every hour, the safe delivery Of millions of letters, the very eagerness with which men rush to meet their obligations. ali attest to the honesty of the business world, the high moral standards that rule there Our moral standards are high. not low, to-day. The huge ele- phant that nourishes a parasite is too big and too honest to notice il or to know il. even.

Limbs of the Law.

About 900 men are to be added to the legal profession in the state of New York this year. On the face of things, this looks like an infiammatory stimu- lus to legislation. The building of bat tleships is usually accepted as an indi- cation that there is going to be war, though the political reasons for a cor nict may not be in sight. The whole sale commissioning of young lawyers may be looked upon as an augury or more lawsuits. Carrying deadly weap- ons and keeping in close business touch with plenty of lawyers are two ways oi getting into fights. However. there IS . natural jaw of compensation and ad- iustment at work all the time. Old law yers retire or die as the young lawyers come to the fore And then great many who are admitted to practice never be come more than nominal lawyers. Some find il such uphill work to build prae- tice that they abandon their ambition and go into something easier. Still, the lawyers take up the profession at their own risk Keep out of court if you can.

CAN'T STAND PROSPERITY
Cuba Appears to Be On the Virge of Rev oIution Because Certain Poiiti-
 clans Can't Run Things

Chicago. Aug f6.-The Tribune prints a Havana dispatch stating that a political revolution is impending in ness element in Cuba. especially the old merchants, who know the Cuban character, because of their long ex- perience here, predict trouble. Some are disposed to rejoice, for they never have had any faith in the ability of the Cubans to govern themselves and they believe that
 At the first sign of serious trouble, the United states will return to the island.
 Then in the future, they say, com- mercial interests will be safely guard ed.
 Other Spanish interests regret the appearance of trouble on the political horizon because of the great injury that may follow to business.
 While the bitter feeling between the liberal and moderate parties has been recognized generally as a sort of DOW der magazine around which Cuban pol iticians have been playing with torch es, the real seriousness of the situation was not realized until the incendiary declarations of Jose Miguel Gomez, presidential candidate. who was named in opposition to Estrada Palma, and openly said that he did not propose to obey the mandates of the supreme court Everyone then realized that the situation was grave.
 The next astonishing thing in con- nection with these observations of Gomez, is the fact that the vice-presi- dential candidate Senator Alfredo Iayas, leader of the radicals in the senate and one of the best educated and best-known lawyers in Cuba. un- hesitatingly and unqualifiedly approves of everything Gomez says He practi- cally said that if his party does not win in this election they will appeal to

Ozone Pois

The hosannas with which ozone was at first laden as the quintessence of life and vitality are dying away in cries less laudatory. Prof. E. Wiedemann. of Er- langep. says that ozone belongs to the poisonous gases, and is the more danger ous since the injurious effects are not manifest at the time, on the contrary breathing the gas at first produces a feel ing of eXhilaration. but afterwards Il has depressing effect on the nervous system. Binz has shown that it may cause sleep. During his observations he has suffered severely from nervous dis turbanees due to breathing ozone. These lasted for one or two years. Moreover, be always experiences discomfort after giving experimental lectures relating to ozone. He advises persons who work for long while with influence ma chimes not to have these machines sit uated in the working room.
