Wasting 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.
Buckles examination made him be-
lieve the number to have been some
what exaggerated, but he gives it as
still a guide to enormous waste of hui
man life in those days. The men who
kept 1000 slaves engaged for three
years bringing single stone from
Elephantine to the pyramids did not
care great deal so long as in the
twenty years in which one Of the py-
ramids was building there were forth
coming the $50 900 men required for
the work.-Kansas City Journal.

5000 applications were made for

1t is hoped that such an analysis will
get at the root of the majority of un-
happy marriages and thus point the
way to reform. The undertaking is
worthy, declares the Argonaut, yet
