What Authors Earn.

The statement recently made. on
authority, that Mrs. Rice has already
received in royalties the enormous
sum Of 100000 from the sale or her
amusing story, Mrs. Wigs of The
Cabbage Patch" must be a reycla-
ton to those who scoh at the pen
as money maker, What is more
startling even that the fortune this
one book has brought 10 it's gifted
authoress is the fact that, as tx
story only contains 10000 words Gt
might, in fact, have been written in
an industrious week Of inspiration, ,
Mrs. Rice has already received 81 for
every word of it. Who can say after
this that a pen may not be veri-
table gold mine?
Although Mrs. Rice has established
record of profitable writing which
may long remain unchallenged, she
has at least one formidable rival in
a British author. Mr., Barrie, whose
Little Minister" has, so far, yielded
the splendid revenue of $1,000 a thou
w
that It is a comparatively easy mat
ter to write thousand words in an
hour, such rate of remuneration IS
one 20 marvel at.
These two literary records stand in
a class by themselves, unapproached
and probably unapproachable; bat
there are several other authors
whose pen earnings are phenomenal,
The late Grover Cleveland and the
late Mr., Hay have frequently receiv-
ed $1,000 for an article of fewer than
1000 words. And not long ago Col
lier's Weekly paid Rudyard Kipling
$1,000 for short poem on the Russo
Japanese War. For eight short stor-
les published seven years ago Mr.
Kipling received $4,000, the full
years income of four English Cabi-
net ministers, and McClure's paid the
same author $4,000 forethe rights to
kim"
Such rates as these. which are Only
approached by the Strand Magazine
in England, are common enough n
the United States. Among the hest
paid American writer's are Richard
Harding Davis, who can command
from $4OO to $500 thousand for h S
short stories. and Booth Harrington,
who rarely puts pen 70 paper un-
der 20 cents word Such fortunate
writer's as these can easily make, be-
tween breakfast and luncheon, one
years income of many an industri-
Gus clerk or small professional man.

CANADA WANTS CLEAN MONEY
Careless Habits Across the Border
Have Bred Disagreesble
Conditions


Canada is now more than ready for
clean currency. The dirty bills and
defaeed coins which are circulating
among the people of the country add
no credit to the good name of the
Dominion. If sanitary considerations
do not suggest something better then
pride of country should rise to the
occasion.
Canada has probably the most dis
reputable medium of exchange of any
nation which pretends to civilization.
In this the government itself is the
chief offender and has been during
the changing administrations since
confederation. Dominion dollar and
two dollar notes are permitted 10 cir
culate until they reek with dirt and
scarcely conform in size to the new
or notes with which they are counted
from time to time
II is where silver is used in great
est quantities, however, that the de-
bauching of the currency is most no
tened dimes, worn quarters and
crumpled Ave cent pieces are showed
on in the channels OF business, The
church collection plates and street
railway boxes have become recep-
tacles for much of the smallest of II.
The plugged half dollar given in
change by one street car conductor
to a passenger is refused on another
car.
SO long as defsced money was ac-
cepted freely it caused no inconven-
fence, no loss or embarrassment II
was simply unsightly. In the larger
centres all this is changing. People
will not accept defaced money--it
they know 1t. 1t is a positive handi-
cap to business and a constant jar to
| the self-regpect of the man who tries
TO pass II along. In the meantime
there is laXity at many Of The gate
ways to tourist travel from the south.
This results in the infusion of a
great amount Of United States cur
rency into Canadian trade channels
which may or may not be objection
sable according to the point of view,
! but which also brings along a deluge
OF defaced United States coin, and
| this cannot be circulated south Of
/ the line.
II is the business Of the banks and
the government to purge the cur
| rency.
The design OF Canada's silver mon
! ey Is commonplace. It lacks distinc-
! tiveness and II Is wanting in Canad-
ian sentiment There is plenty of
| material upon which to base de-
sign which means more and looks
better than the present issue. The
beaver, maple leaf, the shield Of the
provinces, the flag and many other
things might be made TO play part

COST OF LIVING.

: Statistics compiled at Washington
indicate decided increase in the
cost of living. For time this in
crease was in greater proportion
than the advance In wages. While
the figures we're being tabulated,
however, changes were in progress
that have not materially altered the
situation. There has been reduc-
tion in the prices Of -four and sugar
that are notable in the living ex-
penses of any American family.
There have been other reductions,
less marked, so It is safe to say the
cost of living is now . or 10 per
cent. lower than when the official
statistics were collected.
Coincidentally there has been
some advance in wages. The boom
has led to increases to many work
men in various parts of the country
and payments for overtime" have
still further added to earnings. It
may be taken as fact that average
earnings bear better relation 10
cost of living than is shown in the
official tables AS compared with
other countries the American wage
rate Is very high aud the living cost
is low. Savings bank returns verify
this statement.

MISSIONARIES TO THE JEWS.

Christianity is sometimes too zeal
Gus. Il has not comprchended that
all religions are near to itself. in so
far as they involve an ethical basis,
says the Brooklyn Eagle. Even the
savage who personifies the forces Of
nature, representing thcm with
wooden figures that to him serve the
same purpose as the statues in ca
thedrals. is not so far from the white
man in the magnitude of his attrlbu-
tions to the great spirit az the white
man supposes. To be sure, there
are many earnest souls of the evan
gelistic sects that believe in belief as
the only salvation, hence their an
xiety for the welfare of the Hebrew
race in the after life should not be
viewed with resentment To mission
aries of some creeds Il is necessary
that tho subject profess" a certain
faith in order to reach heaven, and
in striving to bring others to their
belief they are animated by the no
blest feelings that can affect human

LIFE SAVING IN WAR.

AS an instance OF the minuteness
of the surgical care bestowed upon
the fighting men of the japanese
navy, Surgeon Susuki tells of the
careful inspection OF the eyes Of all
gunners on the warships. These
were examined. he says, before every
engagement. THE vision of the men
who fire the guns must be of the
very best II their shots are to count, ="
And those whose sight was found to
be even slightly impaired were trans
ferred to hospital and their places
filed by others whose vision was per-
feet.
In adopting the methods OF west
ern science, Japan has improved
upon their application. The care for
individual detail is undoubtedly ac-
countable not only for the remarka-
BILE military and naval record Of the
Japanese arms but for the unprece-
dented saving of life among their
wounded.

CASH CONSCIENCE,

IT has long been held by men who
have studied our great national
problems that conscience is governed
largely by economic necessities, and
that the ethical code of man who Ia
undisturbed by any of the material
passions is sure to be hatterinRly un,
like that OF man, or a class, whose
energies are bent toward the accu-
mutation Of money This fact has
been brought to light and empha-
sized in the most astounding fashion
by the recent revelations which eul-
minated in the testimony Of George
w. Perkins before the legislative
committee row investigating insur-
anCc crookcdnoss, which term has
been soltened in some quarters by
the euphonism irregularities. -
