The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1907-01-25

Much is said in recent years of fix
ing arbitrarily an age limit at which
men shall cease to follow their voca-
tions. The government retires its
army and navy officers on half pay
after they reach a certain age. Sew
eral railroad companies have fixed an
age when employees shall be retired
on pensions. These age limits, being
purely arbitrary, necessarily work in
justice in some cases to both employ
er and employe. 1t depends very
much upon the man and his habits
how long he is fit for active and pro-
ftable duty. Some men are far more
superannuated at 25 than others at
rs.

It Is Easy TO Saw

BE careful" but we must all go from
heated houses into chill, cutter air, and
the change sets us coughing and
wheeling. Avoiding winter colds is
difficult; curing them is not hard If
you take Aliens Lung Balsam. Better
begin when the cold is young and not
wait until it settles deep in the lungs,
for then, even with Aliens Lung Bal
sam, complete relief will be slower.

SENATE IN FAVOR OF RAISE

Washington, Jan. 2S.-When 1t
came to the test the senate, far
from refusing higher wages, voted
down, II to Sc, an amendment
limiting the prop )sed salary In
cresses to the vice president, speak
er and members OF the cabinet, and
then concurred In the house salary
increase provision by a vote oi53 to
81.
This insures the Inclusion in the
legislative appropriation bill OF the
amendment increasing the salaries
OF senators and members OF the
house to 81, 500, and OF the Vice
president, the speaker OF the house
and cabinet officers to $4,000.
Mr.. Berry commended that s., 900
was not grossly inadequate salary
for senators and members OF con.
gress, and denied that they could
not live on that amount.
"There Is not one-half OF ttem,"
he declared, "who ever could or did
make 5000 a year engaged In any
other business"

Some interesting statistics have
been collected by Vice Consul Arnold
at Foochow concerning the great de-
cline in China's tea trade. From 1878,
when tea was first introduced into
England, until 1887, China held ex-
clusively the tea trade of the world.
Then India began to enter the tea
market. The Chinese trade reached
high tide in 1886, with a total export
of 300,000,000 pounds. In 1884 China
furnished about 70 per cent of the
worlds total, India and Ceylon IS per
cent. and Japan and Formosa 10 per
cent. But in 1904, when the total
consumption had increased to 644,-
100000 pounds, China contributed
only 80 per cent, India and Ceylon so
per cent, Japan and Formosa 10 per
gent. The decline in China is as
sEbed to careless methods of cultiva-
tidn and preparation of the leaf.

New York Post, and those who
offend by stealing it must be dealt
with accordingly, in the government
view, which is correct.

Herculsneum, the rich and splendid
city that was buried, along with Pom
ped and Stabiae, by the eruption Of
Vesuvius In A. D. 70, is to be dug
from the mass Of tufa which covered
It, and its buildings are to be dis
closed to view. Prof. Waldstein Of
Cambridge university has induced the
Italian government to consent to the
work, on condition that it be officially
directed by Italians, and that the as
sistance Of foreigners, financially and
kptherwise, shall be unofficial Should
0e enterprise be carried out, we
shell soon have much light thrown
on the manner Of life Of the Romans
ff the first century. Herculaneum.
War more than Pompeii, was the resi-
dence of wealthy and cultivated cid-
Gems. Their houses were filed with
artistic objects and their libraries
contained the best literature of the
period. In a partial excavation nearly
1000 manuscript rolls were found in
one house. Pompeii was covered with
small stones and soft ashes from the
volcano. Herculaneum was buried
beneath torrent of mud to the depth
of from 80 to 100 feet. On top of it
two large modern villages have been
built. General excavation has not
been undertaken, lest the stability of
the villages should be threatened.
Plans now making provide for tearing
down these villages, so far as neecs-
sary, to get at the city beneath. In
the comparatively near future, says
Youths Companion, we may expect
to hear reports Of the uncovering OF
fine bronze and marble statuary, of
beautiful mansions, of libraries filled
with ancient books, some of them for
centuries known by tradition only.
In short, 1t will be as il we were
taken back more than eighteen hun
bred years, and were able to look
upon the city as its inhabitants sud-
denly left 1t when Vesuvius poured
