One Theory of Wealth.

Why there should be Woodworking
poor men and idle rich men in the
same community is a question which
no one has answered, and no one can
answer satisfactorily. That is why the
opinion is so prevalent that the world,
economically considered, is so very
much out of joint, believes T. N. Car
ter, a writer in Atlantic. But although
there is so much unanimity in the
opinion that wealth ought not to be
distributed as it now is, there is still
a wide diversity of opinion, where
there is any definite opinion at all, as
to how 1t really ought to be distribu-
ted. These opinions may, however, be
reduced to three fundamentally dis
tinct theories, which l shall call the
~aristocratic, the socialistic, and the
democratic, or liberalistic, theories.
The a%ristocratic theory is that the
good things of the world belong more
particularly to certain groups or
classes than to others, by virtue of
some circumstance connected with
their birth or heredity, and independ-
emily of their individual achievements.
The socialistic theory is that wealth
ought to be distributed according to
needs, or according 70 some similar
plan arranged beforehand, and indie
pendently Of the individual ability to
acquire wealth in the rough-and-ready
struggle of life. The democratic, or
liberalistic, theory is that wealth
ought to be distributed according to
productivity, usefulness, or worth.

friends. Then look for an unknown
brand, and the strange band tickles
her immensely"

And he produced a handful of cigar

"A couple" said Westside. "Tu

COUNTRY RICH IN METALS
Silver, Copper and Coal as Well az
Gold Plentiful in
Alaska.

Alaska the golden also is RIGA in
considerable quantities of silver, cop.
per and coal, and promises to do
something with tin and petroleum,
which recently have been discovered.
The annual gold production repre-
sents a value Of some $7,00O,000 The
mining of placer gold is carried on in
June, July, August and September.
Mining operations are rendered diff.
cult not only by the short available
season, but also by the lack of fall
in the streams, the poor supply Of
water and timber, the half-frozen con
dition of the gravel, and the high cost
of labor and transport. Despite these
obstacles the wide and uniform dis.
tributing of alluvial gold, the healthy
climates, and the proximity of the
phenominally rich gold fields of the
British Yukon region justify prospect.
ing and mining over large areas.
Stream tin, discovered in the Onikovik
river in 1900, has been found over an
area of $50 square miles. Promising
surface indications of petroleum hava
been found in the Controller bay,
Cook inlet. and Cold bay fields.
Though only a few wells have been
bored there seems to be ample just
ication for further prospecting and
for believing that the Pacific coast
region of Alaska may prove an iIn.
portant source of Illuminating oil.
Coal, mostly of a Ignite character,

PRODUCTION OF LlTHlUM.
erals Of This Character Are Not
IN Great Demand in This
Country.

A mistaken impression prevailed In
this country for several years that
there was a large demand for lithium
minerals. The result was o%verproduc-
ton. In 1905, however. sharp re-
trenchment occurred, and the proGuc-
ton fell to practically nothing. AS
reported by Mr.. E. o. Hovey, special
agent of the United States geological
survey, it amounted to only q short
tons, valued at 1852. All of It came
from San Diego county, Cal. In 1904
the output of ilthium minerals in the
United States had amounted to 577
short tons, valued at S5.155; in 1903 to
1,155 short tons, valued 1T S23,425.
There were no imports of lithium salts
into the United States during 1905,
The mines of Pennington county, s..
D., which formerly produced the great
er part of the lithium ore consumed in
the United States, were entirely idle
during 1905. It is not likely that work
on them will be resumed before the
stocks of ore now on hand have been
considerably depleted.

have been mined as ores of lithium
have been amblygonite, lepidolite, and
%spodumene. Amblygonite has been
found in commercial quantities only
near Pala, San Diego county, Cal.
This region is also the only one in the
country where %lepidolite. or lithia mica
is produced in commercial quantities.
The spodumene mines are located in
Pennington county, S. D..
The principal use of lithia ores is for
the manufacture of the carbonate Of
lithium, which is utilized in the solid
form and in solution for medicinal
purposes, especially for the manufac-
ture of so-called 'lithia waters" Lith-
ium salts are used also to a small ex-
tent in the manufacture of compounds
for the production of oolored fire The
metal tinges a flame with a beautiful
shade Of red.

The big pile Of oyster shells which
accumulated at the oyster wharf dur
ing the past season is rapidly disap-

fine oysters attached to each. The
old shells are being loaded upon yes
sells to be taken to depleted oyster
beds in the mouth of the river. and
over on the eastern shore of Mary

be scattered over the oyster bottoms.

Effort to Save Elephants.

Travellers from Africa are urging the
governments of Europe to take steps
10 preserve the elephants in their re-
spective colonies and spheres of infiu-
enc In India the government o n
trols lhe forests and the laws are strict.
When elephants are dangerous, per-
mits are issued for hunting the 'vaga-
bonds" or bad elephants, and when
they arc killed all permits are revoked.
In Siam all elephants belong to the
crown, and are never killed. Every
five year there is a government in
spection of them, all white elephants
are sent to the prince royal, and the
domestic stock is increased by careful
selection from the general herd. The
elephant there is appreciated as a la
borer and a domestic servant; but III
Africa thousands are killed every year
for their ivory, which is whittier, hard
err and more esteemed than that of the
Asiatic elephant.

SHAVE WITH HOT STEEL.
This Is the Advice Of an Old Cutler
to Those Who Have Their
Own Razors.

THE Old English Cutler arrived
in New York the other day after an
absence Of nine years, in which time
he has walked 10000 miles between
the Pacific and Atlantic, honing ra-
zors and grinding scissors.
Whenever / homes a razor gaid

made shaving easier and more c5rn-
Portable for more than 10000 men.
Most every barber will tell you now
to strop a razor. but It takes a cutler
to tell you how to care for your strop.
and how to get the best work out Of
your blade.
"A swing strop, canvas on one side
and horse hide on the other, is the
best. Always hold it taut. and draw
the razor lightly but swiftly from
heel to point. If you let the stop
sag, you will put a round edge on
the blade. Don't forget to cover your
strop, Or put It away in a draw er,
after using, If It hangs in a bathroom.
near a window. The dust and CRIME
gets into it, and soon takes the edge
from your razor. Whether you keep
the strop covered or whether you
don't rub your open hand over the
two surfaces to free il from dust.
But what consider my most valu-
able advice is how to do away with
shaving paper entirely and at the
same time improve the cutting quail
tv of the razor's edge. Nine n,en
ont Of ten shave themselves in a
room where there is running hot va
ter. Now. the wav to get a r,l~t

salaries 81 SAD omoinls-

During this session OF congress, as
in many previous sessions, the expe-
diency has been considered Of raising
the salaries OF the higher officers Of
the national government and Of the
diplomatic and consular service. Il is
coming more and more TO be recog-
nized as a fact, says Youths Com
panion, that the richest nation in the
world, occupying a country in which
the highest business salaries in the
world are cheerfully paid. is neverthe-
less a niggardly paymaster of it's high
est officers, For a large share. indeed
for most. of the minor positions in the
government service the payment is
adequate. The earnings Of the clerks
in Washington and of most OF the men
on the civil service lists compare IA
vorably with those of men doing sim
liar work for private employees. But
for the president. vice president, mem
bers of the cabinet and of the supreme
court. the circuit court judges, am
bassadC-s and ministers, and many of
the higher officers at Washington and
in the states the compensation is not
only inadequate to the demands of the
places they occupy. but is VIGOROUSLY
less than men of equal ability receive
in private life. The word "compensa-
ton" is used advisedly, for it includes
not only the salary which goes with
these offices, but the honor which at
taches to them. Both together are
still inadequate payment. The desire
to preserve that republican SIMPLE
ity" which has always been an Amer
lean ideal is the main obstacle to the
raising of official salaries. Many per
son fail to consider that for n who
can afford it, liberal expenditure is
not necessarily a sign either of ex-
travagance or of luxury; and that
with nations, as with individuals, the
scale which is just and proper in the
day of small things may be a measure
of unseemly parsimony when the cir
cumstances have changed.

CHESS OLDEST PAsTlME
OF Asiatic Origin and Dates Batk to
the Misty Medieval
Times.

The oldest game known to man is
chess. The origin Of this game. or
mimic battle, as Goldsmith called it in
his translation OF Vida, dates back
tc 1000 b. c. II is rich in legendary
anecdotes, and its venerable nomen.
clature has teen transmitted through
AL changes in language from the ear
liest tongues of the o-European tc
the latest.
a peculiar thing about chess, with
its combination Of idle amusement anC
extreme mental toll. is that 1t is the
only game sanctioned by priesthoc ds
of all beliefs The principal piece in
the game derives its name, king, from
the Persian shah, or ruler.
Many men whose names have gone
down to posterity, such as Charlie
magne, Tamerlane, Frederick the
Great, Charles XII. YOltaire, Rous-
eau and Ben Franklin, have been
devotees and students of the game.
Chess is Asiatic in origin, and orig
inally nor attention was paid to it
by Asistic students and philosophers
than by men of western countries. OF
late years, however, its popularity has
greatly increased among western ma
lions, and national chess tourncments
are now held by experts from nearly
all countries.
The history of chess may be divided
into three periods. The age of the
primeval Indian game, extending from
it's origin down to the sixth century
A. D.; the age of the medieval chess,
from the sixth century to the six
teentn century; and the age of the
modern chess, from the last Of the
sixteenth century to the present day.
OF course many changes in the meth
cd of play took place in the curse Of
development of the game, and as it is
played now. it is different from the
game the ancients knew.
Chess has been played in nearly
every country. Chess-boards have been
found among the ruins of Pompeii and
in the Roman Forum one may still see
the outline of a checker-board roughly
scratched on the stone walk by some
senatorial page of Caesars time. In
the orient both games have beer
played from time immemorial.
