GONE THINGS ARE CHEAPER.
How Specialization In Manufacturs
Reduces Cost Of Production,


When Edison first made the small
incandescent electric lamps. consist
ing of carbon filament fixed by plati-
mum wires in a pearshaped glass bulb
from which the air had been exhaust
ed, the cost was SO EACH now there
are many million similar lamps Of bet
ter quality made each year and sold
at less than twenty cents each.
Formerly watches we're made by
hand and we're costly luxuries; now
they are made by machinery in lots
of thousand at time and the cost
of new watch that will keep fairly
good time is less than the cost Of hav-
ing an expensive watch cleaned.
The same principles apply in all
lines of manufacture, and it has been
found that reduction in cost of produc.
tion, due to specialization in manufac.
ture is naturally followed by increas.
ed demand, for the simple reason that
each successive reduction brings a
new class of consumers or purchas-
ers into the market, and q commodity
which was regarded as luxury of the
few when the cost was relatively high
becomes a necessity of the many
when the cost is reduced to a sufl-
ciently low level.

view" says:
Good news still predominates in trade
and industry. Easter business is of
large volume; dry goods, clothing, foot
wear and all lines of wearing apparel
reporting all unusually good demand,
and shipping departments are taxed to
their full capacity in many cases. The
country as whole is experiencing more
settled weather, which is reflected in
better retail distribution of merchandise.
Jobbing trade in goods for Fall dc.
livery is broadening, and there is more
inclination to prepare for the future.
Manufacturers report less idle machinery,
the iron and steel industry leading with
an unprecedented output OF pig iron,
vet consumption is also above all records,
for there is no accumulation at the
furnaces.
\ few labor controversies are threaten
I'd. but none are Of sufficient magni-
rude to materially check progress. even
il expected settlements are not attained
for the number of hands involved is
comparatively small.
Reports arc somewhat conflicting rs to
mercantile collections, but improvement

funds in starting agricultural work,

the interior largely exceeding the amount

Car blockades are few, owing to tho

DANGER IN THE OYSTER.
sveomIent BIvalve Prolific Producer
Of Disease.

Of Disease.
There Is probably no one article OF
food, except raw milk, which is 80
freuently cause Of disease, and some
times even fatal Illness, as is the oys-
ter. The nutritive value of the oyster
is very small. 1t takes fourteen oys-
ters to equal one egg In food value,
and more than ESQ oysters to equal a
single pound of beef in food value.
This Is due to the fact that the oyster
consists chiefly of water, the balance
being mostly liver and germs. The
oyster lives upon the ooze and slime
of the ocean bottom. Typhod-fever
germs, and other dlsease-producing or
ganisms are tidbits for the oyster,
and millions of them are always found
In the oysters stomach and the mu.
cous, or Shiny Juice. in which the oys
ter is always bathed.
Another paper recently reports the
death Of the Dean of Winchester from
typhoid fever, as the result of eating
oysters at the mayors banquet in
England. The result Of this death,
according to a wholesale oyster dealer
in England, has been the falling off in
the consumption of oysters to the ex.
tent of rs per cent; that is, that there
is only one oyster eaten now where
four were eaten before these facts
became public. Oyster merchants and
persons engaged in the oyster bust.
ness generally, in England, are com.
planning that their business is ruined.
Within three or four days after the
death of the Dean of Winchester, the
oyster trade fell off at Ellsworth from
five thousand to nothing.
Several similar epidemics have oc-
Cured in England, and a few in this
country, in which fatal cases of ty-
phoid fever were traced directly to the
use of the oyster.
The oyster is scavenger, and alb
solutely unfit for human food The
idea that 1t is more digestible than
other foods is in the highest degree
absurd In addition to the germs with
which 1t always swarms, the oyster
contains a large amount of uric acid
which can not be gotten rid of by boil
ing, or by any other means.

Cannot Reduce a Rate.

1t is stated in Washington that un-
der the Townsend rate bill If a rate is
fixed by the commission it cannot be
lowered by a railroad. Should an
emergency arise calling for a decreased
rate the railroads or shippers would
have to appeal again to the commits
sion, there being no latitude allowed
whatever the circumstances. Hitherto
maximum rate has been the rule, but
no such concession is made under the
proposed legislation.

While no woman is entirely free from
periodical suffering. it does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer so severely. Menstrua-
ton is severe strain ON a woman's
vitality. If it is painful or irregular
some thing is wrong which should be
set right or it will lead to a serious de-
rangement of the whole female organ
