LABOR LEGISLATION

particularly Ia is legal aspcct with re.
spcct 90 underlying economic causes.
Through the contract the actually ex.
isting economic forces manifest them.
selcss with al their inequalities and in.

Until recently. economists were in.
clined TO limit regulation Of labor condi.
liors, especially hours Of toll. TO chill.
dncn. young persons and women, leaving
adult men fro TO make their own con.
tracts. But experience has shown con-
clusiycly that. while adult males a. a
rule are Ia a far better position in the
labor contract than the Other classes
mentioned, unrcglilatci contract does not
always conduce 10 freedom anil fair op.
porsunity, but frequently means bond
age and degradation.
We must not take the view OF the
state as something external stepping in
and interfering with liberty. It's action
Il rather the result Of the cooperative
efforts Of men TO determine the condi-
tons Of toll and 10 enlarge their sphere
Of economic action.
Science can draw no arbitrary line be-
tween labor legislation for adults and
labor legislation for women and children,
cases must be judged as they arise, on
their merits. Efficiency must be an ever
present test.

ESTATE IN a rANcLE.

mon Fund--Accounting Desired.
Brattleboro Dec. 3i.--An unusual
situation i presented in the Albert
Williams estate, which was advertised
to be settled in the probate court Sat.
urday afternoon, but which was con.
tinued to date to be determined up
on on account Of The tangled condition
Of affairs between the estate and Alfred
Williams, brother Of Albert Williams.
the widow OF Albert Williams was
appointed administrative ten years
ago, but for some reason she never
has made final accounting. and the
brother is anxious To know how large
lis Individual estate Is. These two
brothers were twins and were born in
Marlboro August 20, 1888. They were
sons of Samuel Williams and mad eight
brothers and sisters. After the death
of their father the twins remained on
the old homestead and carried on the
farm. They turned their savings into
one fund and whenever either needed
70 spend any money be took it from
this fund without making any account
ing Both married and the two families
lived together, buying their provisions
Ats for one foniily and using from the
common stock without keeping separate
accounts The brothers worked hard,
bought other farms, and finally located
on the stephen eAIrrifeld farm in South
Newfane about thirty years ago. By
Tie practice Of rigid economy they nc.
eumulated property worth $4,000. Al
bert Williams died in South Newfane
November 2, 1897, and his widow,
Martha, daughter OF the late Brigham
Powers, Of Marlboro, was appointed adj
of his estate. Since then
the affairs of the household have been
in a manner similar to that
which prevailed before Albert Williams
death.

SCENTS the surviving brother The only
other estate of interest in the probate
court was that of Calista Stebbins, of
Newfane. The residue of her estate Of

the Womans Baptist Home NIissionars
society and the Woman's Baptist Mis-
sionary society.

A Chinese Solomon.

Two Cinnamon. brothers, well ad-
vanced in age. Quarreled over q piece
Of land which they had Jointly inherit
ed from their father and went to law.
The native magistrate heard the testi-
mony on both sides and determined
that both were wrong and both right,
according to the different points Of
view. Therefore, instead Of rendering
a Judgment in favor Of either. he order
ed that both be locked up in cangue
with their heads fastened face to
face and kept there until they settled
their quarrel The cangue Is sort OF
cage In which prisoners are placed
with their necks locked into q hole in a
board. 1t resembles somewhat the
stocks which were used for the punish
ment Of malefactors In olden times.
When the brothers were placed in the
cahgue. thpy- were both very stubborn
and indignant. but toward the end Of
the second day they began to weaken
and on the i!irl Cay reached a salts
factory settlement and were released.

The Barry Patch.

Beware of the red rust in the black
cap or blackberry patch. When 1t APP
pears at once dig out and burn the in
fected plant
Remove the old raspberry canes as
soon as they have fruited also remove
weak. superfuous new ones. Burn all
such cuttings at once.
Continue to cultivate and hoe the
strawberry plants set last spring.
When enough runners are secured in
each row, cut off all others just as If
they were weeds.
Beware of exposing blackberries to
the sun after they are picked. Sun
light soon turns the black, shiny fruit
to a rusty, dull, unpleasant looking
red. Get the berries into packing shed
or crate as soon as possible and then
into a cool cellar until shipping time.
Going to set some Strawberries in
August or September? We prefer
spring set beds, but If you must set In
the fall use pot grown plants and be-
gin to prepare the ground now. Pillow
It early, so that it will have chance
to settle before planting time. Har-
row or rake it often to keep down
weeds and conserve moisture. Then
the bed will be In fine shape to receive
the plants.--Farm Journal.

THE CAMEO.
II Gets It's Name From the Cutting,
Not From the Stone.

Not From the Stone.
The true nature of cameo Is very
much misunderstood by the public gen
orally. Most people think it Is the stone
itself when in reality the method Of
cutting is what produces the cameo.
The real meaning Of the word Is I'M
known, it's derivation having never
been discovered; but, correctly speak
ing, canoes are small sculptures exc
cuted In low relief on some substance
precious either for Its beauty. rarity or
hardness.
There are emerald canoes, turquoise
canoes. shell canoes, coral canoes.
Indeed, any substance that lends itself
to carving in such minute detail can
be used for cameo cutting, and nearly
all precious stones, except diamonds,
have been so used for intaglios, but
never for canoes. Emerald Is the most
common precious stone from which
canoes have been made, and there are
some very fine emerald portrait cam
eos In existence, notably those OF
Queen Elizabeth In the British muse
um. Shell canoes were first made In
the fifteenth century.
Banded onyx Is generally used for
cameo work because of Its hardness
and coloring, and 1t is this fact that has
caused the misrepresentation, the stone
being used so much in making canoes
that it has now become better known
as cameo" than by its right name

ANIMAL TRAITS.
Reminders In the Foal and the Calf OF
Their Wild Ancestors.

Their WIG ancestors.
1t is an interesting study to note In
domestic animals the traits OF their
wild ancestors. There are some char
acteristics, of course, which are readily
recognizable as being similar to those
of animals still In a wild state, and
for this reason they give fair idea OF
the life and surroundings Of progeni-
tors. The habits Of the dog and cat
are too familiar to comment on, but
take the foal and compare his traits
with those Of the calf.
The foal when q few days old can
gallop as fast as he ever can In after
life. He never leaves the dam and
takes nourishment in small quantities,
avoiding q full meal, which would i'm
pede swift escape. In lying down no
attempt Is made at concealment, and
when he stands his head Is held high.
These habits show that the animals
ancestors spent their lives In the open
&ad not in the forests and that they
were great travellers.
The calf. on the contrary, fills him
self with milk and is a poor traveller,
When danger approaches his first I'm
pulse is to conceal himself. He holds
his head low In order to look under
the branches Of the forest. All his
characteristics point to the fact that
the ancestral home Of cattle was In a
moist, wooded country. while the
primeval horse roamed the plains

MaIs and Female Guineas.

Authorities on guinea raising claim
that 1t is always best. no matter how
small fock you may have. to have
two or more males running with the
hens. As rule one cock guinea Is
enough for every four hens, but some
times the birds will pair. Some breed
ers claim that It Is best to breed them
In pairs. There Is only one absolutely
certain way of telling the male from
the female and that Is by the call or
cry. The female has a peculiar call
which is never uttered by the male and
resembles "Buckwheat" or Come
Back" The call Of the male is shrill,
rasping scream.

Costlv In Human Lives.

In ancient times the great engineer
ing works were costly in human lives.
The making of the Red sea canal Is
said to have involved the loss OF no
fewer than 10000 Egyptians. Buc-
kle's examination made him believe the
number to have been somewhat exag-
gerated, but he gives 1t as still guide
to the enormous waste Of human life
In those days. The men who kept 1000
slaves engaged for three years bring
ing a single stone from Elephan-
tine to the pyramids did not care a
great deal so long as in the twenty
years In which one Of the pyramids
was building there were forthcoming
the 100000 men required for the work.
