YentiIation u Stone shads.

Concerning the apt discussion Of air
| in cutting sheds and the effects Of cold
air on the human system a prominent
granite cutter has the following to say:
The urgency of this ventilation ques-
ton cannot be over estimated. 1t IS Of
much more Importance than any ques-
ton OF wages, hours Of labor, or such a
trumpery matter as weekly pays of
which we have heard good deal lately.
Wages are often forced up by powerful
trade unions with the result that the
workmen are obliged to strain their en-
ergies to the utmost limit in order TO
retain a place at all in the strenuous
race for livelihood. Then BY and BY
the necessaries Of life are raised, some
times beyond the ratio of the advance in
wages, and the workman has to be con-
tent with the somewhat doubtful benefit
of having to work harder for the IN
creased money he earns, and which in.
creased money has little or no more pnr-
chasing power than his former smaller
wages had. | fully believe in progress
along all lines Of industrial and social
activity, and it seems to me as If the
time We're come when the doctrine OF
getting better conditions to work under
could be preached, in preference to that
of raising wages or getting it oftener
than semi-nonthly. Compared with
ether tradesmen, tie lot Of the average
granite cutter is fairly satisfactory in
so far Us wages and hours Of labor are
concerned Improve his working condi.
tions SO that he will be less liable to be
laid off prematurely BY pulmonary di-
sease, and think he viii, or ought to be
satisfied for some years to come. -

Troubles Of a Chinese Doctor Who Didn't
Want to Be Beaten.

A report Just received from Dir. Ernest
@. Eanderburgh, a medical missionary
at Siangtan, Human, China. affords an
interesting comparison 81 Chinese and
American surgical methods. DR.. Van
derbugh has charge Of two dispensaries
and a hospital maintained by the Pres
byterian board Of foreign missions at
the Chinese city named. The dispen-
saries are in different parts of the city,
and as the doctor was leaving one to
20 to the other, ne was called to come
quickly and help a Chinese doctor who
had gotten into trouble.
eThis Chinese doctor, writes DIR. Van
derburgh, had heard Of the operations
which had been performed in the Pres
byterian hospital, and he thought that
he must do some operations to make
his name great, and not let the foreign
devil doctor get all his patients away
from him. So when a big, strapping
fellow Of about p years came along
and wanted him to remove tumor
from his knee, the doctor looked it over,
sharpened his knife and eut well into
the supposed tumor. Then the poor
doctors troubles began. He couldn't
stop the blood, became scared and sent
for me. AS it happened, was near

the patient, he was sitting on bench,

The value Of a Husband.

An American missionary returning
from Teheran through Warsaw tells d
curious story. Some months ago one
of his fellow eountrymen, also mis-
sionary, was killed by dervish. His
widow made claim through the Amer
lean minister for the punishment Of
the murderer and $4,000 compensation
for the loss Of her husband The pun-
ishnent was, for religious reasons, out
Of the question, but the Persian gov
eminent paid the minister $4,000 as
compensation TO the widow. who, how
ever, refused to take it. She said her
husband was not worth $4,000: $780,
600 was his utmost value; and this
was all she calud be persuaded to ae-

Upton ON CHALLENGE.

Greenock, Scotland, Aug. 26.-Sir
Thomas Upton, the yachtsman, in an
interview yesterday said.
Neither ! nor Mylne, my designer,
will agree to enter upon negotiations
which 40 not recognize the futility Of
challenging under the old conditions. Mr.,
Mylne, approaching me on the subject
some time ago, spoke in the most un-
equivocal terms on this point.
Il am, continued Sir Thomas, 'desir-
Gus and even anxious to build chalen-
ger, but / am necessarily at a standstill
owing to the position assumed by the
New York Yacht Club, which simply
asks for challenger and says it will
consider the conditions afterWard'
This, in Sir Thomas Lipton's view, IS
a TOO severe handicap, and must be modi-
fed in the direction he asks.

THE WAR TAX BURDEN
is LIGHT IN JAPAN
Where tho New 'a;osts Fall--
Question Of Suffering Or Prosperity
Stronger Industr'aII~

War taxes have been SO arranged in
Japan that the burden principally falls
upon the persons who ought to bear it.
Take the new inheritance tax, for ex-
ample; It will affect the wealthy class
mostly. To an outsider it would appear
as If a heavy burden had suddenly been
placed upon the shoulders OF fac pco-
pie by these SPECIAL taxes, but it Is not
50, as SPECIAL provision has been made
to tighten the local taxes for municipal
expenses, and notices have been sent
all over the country to the local OH
clals to tighten their expenditure. and
by this reduction the average infiaxa-
tion is not much increased. The fol-
lowing figures viii explain this posi-
tion: In 1904 the total Of tic imperial
taxes showed an increase Of 3g,IO0,000
yen, but the prsfectur ! Eases We're
I0S0o, GOO, and the town and village
taxes 12,200,O00 yen less, SO that, COM
pared with the year before. tie net
increase i'll taxation was only 1900 900
yen.
The amolnt for imperial aad local
taxes in 1904 was 2T.5T yen per house
hold. This was 1.7G yen more than The
year before Per person. it was 4.9O,
or an increase Of thirty-two sen, com
pared with the year before. With re-
gsrd to 1905, the increase will be eight
yen per house, or 1.S0 per individual.
This, compared with the taxation of
other countries, is very light and then,
again, a good deal Of the money col
lected in taxes goes back to the people
who are furnishing supplies for the
war, and the profits from these trans
actions help the people TO meet the in
creased taxation.
The farming class In Japan Is much
in the majority, and the rice cro2 of
1904 was so abnormally large and The
prices of rice We're 50 L.gA that this
class was a great ganer, and placed
favcrably for meeting taxes. The peo-
pie, from patriotic reasons, lave met
the increased taxes with proper spirit,
and respond willingly, SO that the tax
returns are much more satisfactory
than in years before the war The
number Of people proceeded against
for non-payment of taxes is much de
creased.
The increase in deposits in postal
savings banks and in ordinary banks
is a proof that the people are not suf-
fering from over-taxation- 1t is year
since the outbreak Of war, and the
amount Of money raised from the peo-
pie for its prosecution is very large
and yet Japan's commercial and indus
trial position is much stronger today
than before.

DIFFICULTIES MET
IN SMUGGLING JEWELS.
The United States Government Has
Agents Abroad Who Watch the
Purchasers ofPreeious Stones.

The FIRST difficulty in smuggling may
be encountered at the diamond mar
kets Of Europe In Paris, for instance,
the United States Government has four
agents. whose duty is to keep the
United States customs officials IN touch
with the purchases of stones by resi-
dents Of the United States. If John
Jones OF New York is visiting Paris
and has bought a fine diamond or
more from a Paris dealer and returns
to the New York port Of entry without
declaring such stones. a question is
certain to be asked of him.
The Paris dealer. in accordance with
the custom Of the trade, has taken
the name and address of the purchaser,
a description of the stone, its color. its
weight, and. perhaps, memorandum
Of a possible popularity. Yet there
are European diamond dealers who do
not recognize the justice of protective
tariffs, or even tariffs for revenue, and
some Of these refuse to recognize
American agents.
But considering that the Would-pe
smuggler makes his successful pur-
chases in ~he European markets and
starts home with them. In the first
place he has had the expenses of the
trip across. Going over he may have
gone in the second cabin of steamer.
but coming back it will be to his ad-
vantage in every way to return in the
first. cabin. Thus, his expenses, even
if he lives in New York or Boston, will
have been at least 5000, while they
might as easily have been $500 for the
round trip. The time of the trip will
be scarcely less than month, which,
for a man Of average ability in a clerl-
cal position, will mean S100 at least.
The interest on the money primarily in
vested in the stones win need to be
considered, to say nothing Of the ele-
ment Of risk.-New York News.

a,I,,ny Tar,ev,s overdose Of Cocaine


The biographer of Jim Farley, tie
strike breaker. gives an interesting in
cident in the life OF this now famous
and successful man. About fifteen
years ago Farley was keeping hotel
in New York, near where he was born.
One day he went to a dentist TO have
an liberated tooth treated, and acct
dentally swallowed an overdose of CO.
caine. He recovered consciousness
twenty-four hours later, possessed of
an insane desire to smash everything
animate and inanimate within reach.
He was chased into the woods and
hunted for weeks as a wild thing. AS
often as he was caught he broke away
from his captors, until finally his right
senses returned, and he went back to
hear the stories of his crazy doings
and to be hailed as a wild man." He
sold out and went to Long Island, and
took lob as common laborer. To
day his wealth is estimated at $780,
600. all obtained by big fees in break
ing railway strikes.
