Say. statement is False.

SecOnd-Ihe resolution AYERS: 1t is AL
legged that the price of anthracite coal has
been raised since tho last anthracite coal
strike 81. Is per ton, yet the so-called ope-
rators are refusing the miners an increase
in wages, thus another strike is threat
ened."
This is in form cowsrdly statement
the falsity of which the public should
know. Prior 10 1900 the wages, paid
by the Philadelphia & Reading Coal and
Iron company. were fixed by a sliding
scale. In 1850, under tho leadership of the
United Mine Workers association, the la
Dor troubles began II Is just, therefore,
TO compare prices and costs in 1899 with
present costs and prices; the average
price per ton received by the coal and
iron company for its coal at the mines in
1899 was Sl.7l3; the average price per ton
received in 1905 was s2.449 This shows an
increase of 1873 cents per ton in seven
years.
The increase in cost OF mining OF coal
was 63.3 cents per ton, which was made up
a follows: Labor cost per ton, 1899, N.O6I /;
labor cost per ton. 1905. 1854 The cost of
materials increased from 3l4 cents In 1889
20 43 cents in 1906 In other words, the in
creased cost OF production was: Labor.
ST. cents; material. 1l.6 cents. or total or
633 cents. leaving to the coal company an
increase OF only 1913 cents per ton In the
last seven years.
L.. the point of fact there has been a
very small Increase In traffic receipts
from anthracite coal and no increase in
rates thereon.

Supplements to the DecalOHue.


Our social organization has devel.
oped to a stage where the old right
e0usness is not enough. We need an
annual supplement to the Decalogue.
The growth of credit institutions, the
spread OF fduciary relations, the en-
meshing Of industry in law, the inter-
lacing Of government and business, the
multiplication of boards and inspect
ors, benefcent as they all are. they in
wife to sin. What gateways they open
to greed! What fresh parasites they
let in on us! How idle in our new
situation to intone the old litanies!
The reality Of this close knit life is not
to be seen and touched; 1t must be
thought. The sins it opens the door to
are to be discerned by knitting the
brows rather than by opening the eyes.
1t takes Imagination to see that bogus
medical diploma, lying advertisement
and fake testimonial are death dealing
instruments. 1t takes Imagination to
see that savings bank wrecker, loan
shark and Investment swindler IN TAX
ing livelihoods take lives. It takes
Imagination to see that the business OF
debauching voters, fixing juries, Sc
ducing lawmakers and corrupting pub
lie servants is like saving through the
props of a crowded grand stand.-E A.

Slash1nE of Salads.

Too many people who are we'll bred
in nearly every other respect are guilty
of the solecism-to call it by the mild
est name-of cutting up their salad on
the plate. OF course salad has some
times to be reduced to lower dimen-
s1ons, so to speak, but it need not be
done by the wholesale or quite in the
businesslike fashion practiced by
some. Grasping knife in one hand
and fork in the other, they slash
away at the inoffens1ve green stuff
with a vigor and a noise Of miniature
moving machine until the bruised
leaves are converted into shreds Of
their former selves. There is common
sense In the convention that prohibits
such course. Nearly all green salads
are broken into pieces Of convenient
size before sending to the table. Even
when these are too large the leaf
should be quietly divided with fork.

Wise Girl.

Now, there was a certain girl, and
she had three wooers. The first Wooer
said she was the whole world to him.
but she frowned upon his suit. Inc
second wooer said she was the sum-
moon and stars to him, but she bade
him be on his way.
ITO me-" said the third, ''you are
young woman Of agreeable manners
with eyes that might be little bluer'
with a nose that is wee bit PIGGY
and with a few freckles and an annoy
ing habit of hurting out your
thoughts
She married the third wooer Being
pressed for an explanation Of her con-
duct, she said:
my goodness! I think l was sensl-
bic. I married the only one that had
courage enough to tell me Of my faults
before marriage, instead of waiting to
throw them up to me afterward.'-

Famous Boys.

A boy used to crush the flowers to
get their color and painted the white
side Of his fathers cottage in Tyrol
with all sorts of pictures, which the
mounta1neer gaZed at as wonderful.
He was the great artist Titan
An old painter watched little fellow
who amused himself making drawings
of his pot and brushes, easeltand stool,
and said, THAT boy will beat me
some day." So he did, for he was
Michael Angelo.
A German boy was reading a blood
and thunder novel. Right in the midst
Of it he said to himself: "Now this will
never do. get too much excited over
1t. l can't study SO we'll after it. So
here goes" And he flung the book out
into the river. He was Fichte, the great
German philosopher.

Portueuese Bullh9hts.

At Portuguese bullfights not only are
the points Of the bulls horns sawed
off, but the stumps that remain are
carefully padded. The horses also are
ridden with consummate skill, and ev-
cry precaution Is taken to prevent the
bull touching them. Banderillas are
used by the men on foot and on horse
back and are planted In the neck Of
the bull. which irritates the bull, but
cannot be described as torture. Just
as much skill is shown as in Spanish
bullfght, and there may be Just as
beautiful a display Of costumes, but
there is no killing either Of the bull or
of the horses.

Monkeys Have No Fleas.

It is curious that monkeys should be
thought to be infested with what nat
uralists call the Pulex irritans and
what ordinary people know as the flea.
AS every zoologist is aware, monkeys
have neither feas nor any other para
site whatsoever, in which of course
they differ vastly from man. AS
matter Of fact, when monkeys begin
to pick each other about in the friend
~ way we have all observed they
merely detach bits of hardened seba-
ceous matter which has been excreted
by the glands, and the flea idea is en-
tirely fabulous

Picking Peanuts.

The seeds Of the peanut are planted
like beans, and when the vines have
come up and the nuts are ready for
harvesting the farmer takes cult
vator especially made for that pur-
pose and starts down the long rows.
On either side of this. cultivator are
two long knives which sink into the
ground sufficiently to cut the taproot
Of the vine. The same process Is gone
through with on the other side of the
vine The main root being thus sew
cred and the ground loosened, the
vines are lifted into shocks like corn.
They are cured by allowing them to
stand in the sun for about ten days,
when a colored woman and children
are sent into the field to pick the nuts
from the vines. An average picker
will pick about five bushels day, for
which he is paid at the rate Of 10
cents bushel.

WeiGhinE q Hair.

''To number the hairs Of your head is
not a very difficult task" said the re-
finer Of the assay Office to friend re-
Gently. "A very close approximation
can be made by weighing the entire
amount Of hair on mans head and
then weighing single hair. The weight
Of the former divided by that Of the
latter will, Of course, give the desired
number. If you will pluck out hair
from your beard l can show you" A
long and struggling one was according
~ detached, the ref1ner putting it on a
scale which was inclosed in glass
case and graduated with extreme ac-
curacy. With little weights Of alumni
ium he piled up one arm until an equi-
poise was reached. The hair weighed
three kilograms. IF you reduce this
to figures" said the speaker, ut would
require 5000 hairs to weigh one ounce,
and, supposing you have six ounces,
you have $4,000 hairs."-New York

Moderation In Exercise.

1t Is better to be lazy than dead, and
1t is probably just as comfortable. For
obvious reasons the prescription to take
moderate exercise is: misleading and
unsatisfactory. Most of us are consti-
tutionally incapable Of exercising mod
erately. We begin violently and end
quickly. And what is moderate exer-
else? One philosopher who tried it for
twenty years arrived at this conclu-
sion: keep a pair Of Indian clubs in
your bedroom. Look at them frequent
~. Exercise by their suggestion"
This has the merit of moderation. It
is the same as to walking. Smell the
morning, look down the long way that
separates you from your business.
Then take car.-Detroit Free Press.

Blowing the Nose.

Medical experts are calling the at
tention of the public to the Importance
Of performing the nose blowing opera
ton in scientific and hygienic manner.
First one nostril and then the other
should be blown without undue VIC
lence. Doctors state that the two nasal
passages should never be closed at the
same time. If they are INSTRUCTED, as
In the case Of cold, the back of the
throat Is filled with compressed air.
and this, together with the discharge
and the microbes which it contains,
may be driven through the eustachial
tube into the middle ear and lead to
serious results. A great authority on
the subject used to forbid his patients
to blow their noses when suffering
from cold The course is hardly one
which will commend itself to those in
the habit Of catching colds. The best
advice would seem to be that when it is
necessary to blow the nose the blowing
should be done gently.-London Mail.

Living In Coral Houses.

The church built of coral Is one of
the curiosities of the Isle of Mahe,
one Of the Seychelles islands, in the
Indian ocean, The Seychelles islands,
which are supposed by many to be the
site of the Eden of the Old Testament,
form an archipelago Of ia islands and
are situated about 1,400 miles east of
Alden and 1000 miles of Zanzibar.
They rise steeply out Of the SEA, culmi-
mating in the Isle of Maize, which is
about 5000 feet above the level Of the
ocean and is nearly the center Of the
group. All these islands are Of coral
growth. The houses are built Of a
species Of massive coral hewed into
square blocks, which glisten like white
marble and show themselves to the
utmost advantage in the various tinted
green Of the thick tropical palms,
whose immense fernlike leaves give
pleasant and much needed shade. These
palms grow as high as 100 feet or more,
overlapping both the houses and the
coral built church. They line the sea-
shore and cover the mountains, form
ing in many places extensive forests.

Watson'S Marazine.

The leading exponent of Jefferson
ian Democracy, Edited by Hon
Thos. E. Watson, of Georgia, the
Father of Rural Free Delivery; author
Of 1.-The Story of France" Life of
Napoleon,' "Life and Times of
Thomas Jetferson,' ''Bethany' and
other books. Mr.. Watson was the
Peoples Party nominee for Vice-Pre-
sident in 1886, and for President in
1904. He is to-day heading a middle
class reform movement which is bound
to sweep the country in a short time.
Watson's Magazine is not a
Socialist publication. It does not
stand for collective ownership Of all
the means of production. Mr..
Watson belives in public or govern
ment ownership of railroads., tele-
graphs and telephones; in municipal
ownership of street railways, gas,
electric lights, water works, etc.; and
he believes in private ownership of
all industries not natural monopolies.
The middle class-the home owners
farmers, small business men and
property owners-won Jefferson's vic
tory in 1900; won Jackson's VIC
tory over Nick Biddle's money power
in 1882; won Lincoln's victory in 1860.
But each time after the flush of VIC
tory had died away, they became
careless of their rights and went to
sleep. They have slept a good por-
ton of the time since 1865, but
Watson's Magazine is waking them
up. Another great victory is in the
air. Keep in touch with the move

The Boring Of Glass.


Strong glass plates are bored through
by means Of rotating brass tubes of
the necessary diameter, which are
filed with water during boring. To
the water there is added finely pull
verified emery. 1t is said that thinner
glass can be perforated with holes in
an easier manner by pressing a disk
Of wet clay upon the glass and making
hole through, the clay Of the widths
desired, SO that at that spot the glass
is laid bare. Then molten lead is
poured into the hole, and lead and
glass drop down at once. This method
is based upon the quick local heat
ing Of the glass, whereby it obtains a
circular crack, the outline Of which cor
responds to the outline Of the hole
made in the clay. The cutting Of glass
tubes, cylinders, ETC., In factories is
based upon the same principle.
