modesty enough to decline if it were offered to him on a silver platter marked "veritas." One objection and the only one occurs to me; his accepting nomination for vice-pres- ident would require some exercise of that Christian grace of humility. to take the foot of the table after hay ing sat at the head of 1t. But he is a Christian (rather an ostentatious one) and in preparation for another life humility would be considerable. perhaps an indispensable, qualifica- ton. The place would hardly per init so many allocutions on all pos- sible and some impossible subjects, as he now finds convenient; but their quality would be likely to improve as their number and length dimin- ished. And we should have a double headed administration, something like that four years when John Ad- ams and Thomas Jefferson were pres ident and vice. though Roosevelt as vice might take the same disparag- ing view of the Jeffersonian Bryan that he has more than once expressed for Jefferson himself-Frank Sam born in the Springfield Republican.

The standard of wages for men

The standard of wages for men in China, says writer in the Engineer ing Magazine, is the equivalent of 25 cents per day. United States cur rency, for all skilled labor, and 12h cents for unskilled. The question of hours is a more variable quantity. When working for himself or for a native employer, every minute of daylight is utilized, only the deliber- ate working pace permitting the maintenance of such long hours. When working for a foreign employ CT, the standard working day is gen. orally ten hours, though exceptions to this rule occur sometimes when the employer is blessed with con- scientious native foremen who will maintain the long hours themselves and keep the rank and file up to the scratch also. In the observation of Sunday as day of rest there is great diversity of practice In the centers of modern industry such as Shanghai the observance of Sunday as a rest day has become the rule, but in more isolated regions where the foreign influence is not strongly felt, only the occasional Chinese holidays are observed. eliminating in a solid three-weeks' shut down at the Chin csc New Year season. In times of special stress. speaking of the main tenanee of work. the Chinese ability to labor constantly with scanty rest is remarkably demonstrated. In one instance that reeurs to me We had a bad engine smash-up centering about a broken eonnecting-rod. The at tendant calamities were numerous and nerve-trying. IL required an even forty-eight-hours work on the part of the whole engine-room sta fl to clean up the situation, and the average of respite for sleep and re- freshment during that time was less than three hours. The boss-bIack- smith. upon whom the bulk of the work developed. was constantly afoot during the whole of the time. Pos sib1y most remarkable of all. there were but tEO or three inconsequen- tial expressions of complaint heard in all the force.

Berlin holds first rank among Ger

Berlin holds first rank among Ger man cities in the stringency with whicn it enforces the laws protect ing the purity of food products. Of the milk sold in Berlin during the year, there are perhaps 25,O0o anal yses made. Milk must contain at least 2.7 per cent of fat. There are in the neighborhood of 5000 speci- mems of butter also analysed in Der lin during year. Butter can not contain more than 16 per cent of wa ter. Canned fruit is colored. and it is rare in Germany to see a glass can of fruit which does not present a highly artistic appearance. A de- scription of the methods of manu- featuring lard and sausages, revealed in court proceedings, brought out an state of affairs in this and shows that this is not alone in the adulter- ated food business.

The big trees. the big mountains, the big valleys and other famous features of California have been sub- jects of persistent exploitation for the purpose of acquainting the world with the attractions of the state; but the big fire has brought a noto- riety to San Francisco not a part of the advertisers plans. Tourists and sightseers are fiocking to the city from all parts of the globe. Large special parties have been organized to take advantage of the low sum- mer rates in effect and are arriving in San Francisco almost daily.

BRYAN AND ROOSEVELT.
The Best Ticket for the Republican
 Party in 1908.

I have not always passed for a peacemaker, still less for a compro- miser; but l have now a peacemak- ing comprimise to offer that think the two political parties most promi- nent would do we'll to consider seri- ously before they commit themselves to a presidential ticket for 1908.
 It is this: That the democrats shall hold out the olive branch to those republicans who are something more than mere millionaires or serfs of the money power. by nominating Bryan for president and Roosevelt for vice president. This would have several advantages. It would keep Roose- welt in high office without violating the unwritten law that excludes pres. idents from the third term. and l. would put a southern man on the ticket for the second place For understand that Mir Roosevelt claims to be a southerner through his moth CT. whom 1 never knew; he certain ly is quite unlike his father. whom did know. And NIT Taft's author ized speech in North Carolina puts the president on the very ground held by the more reasonable south ern men Then the vice-presidency will put him in the senate. where 1t is now said he wishes to be. and will give him a chance to preside over that body. which has been inclined to snub him on important occasions: and it will keep him out of the pres idencey of Harvard. which some inju- dieious admirers have thought him ft for, and which he might not have

The state food law is being more vigorously enforced in Massachu- setts at the present time than ever before. In five months of this year the state board of health has secured the conviction of 165 dealers who sold products that did not conform with the requirements of the food law of the state. A more rigid law goes into the effect next September, when more thorough inspection is promised by the state authorities.
