Plea Of the Child Laborer.
the North American Review.

From the North American Review.
say unequivocally that 1t would have
been better IL the south had never come
into possession OF a single cotton factory
than to have founded a prosperous in
dustry on the labor of children. This
statement is radical, put true. 1t was
the child that first attracted northern in
vestors therein other words, cheap la
Dor. unincumbered by legal restrictions.
Had the same regulations over the en-
ployment of children prevailed there as
have obtained In Massachusetts, for many
years. this industry would not have grown
SO rapidly and would not now be of such
great proportions. The average cotton
mill worker OF the north is product of
generations, bred and born to the loom,
or, at least. not new to industrial con-
f1nement. He Is much better adapted to
the service of machine and to imprtson-
ment within the four walls between. which
he must work than the southerner of
thirty years ago, who knew only the open.
having come down from centuries Of agri-
cultural forbears, ignorant of industrial
restraint.

NEW YORK CURB PRICES.

CIGAR BANDS.
Now Have a Far Different Signih'
canoe From the Old.
From the New York Sun.

From the New erk sun.
Speaking of things that have fallen
from their once high estate said Mr..
Scofington, you take now. for instance,
cigar bands. I am a man somewhat ad-
vanoed in years if not in wisdom and l
can remember a time when band on
cigar was sign of quality, when only
fine cigars were thus adorned.
That was in the days before the war
no, not the revolutionary war, nor the
war Of 1912, nor the Mexican war, but
just the civil war. a matter OF something
less than fifty years ago. In those days
you couid buy very fair sort Of Havana
cigar for cents ana a very good Havana
for 10, and when among imported cigars
you got up to 1j and over you were get
ting up among the choice smokes.
Likewise I'm those days a standard
price for a domestic cigar was cents,
as ) cents is now, and when you rose to
five-cent cigar-why, that was then
what a ten-center is now.
"ThOSe were the days when a DaIlI on
a cigar meant something, when it was
truly a sign of rank, d decoration OF real
significance, mark OF high quahty, lot
In those days bands were placed oni!
on imported cigars, and even among them
only on those of specially fine quality,
produced by makers of repute, perhaps of
worldwide fame, who, putting their
names on these cigars, thus stood back
Cigars. those were, of which their
makers were proud--cigars that those
able to afford them smoked with pride,
the aristocrats among cigars, and nobody
then questioned their arlstocracy. True,
even In those days manufacturers of three
cent cabbajeros might have put bands
on their cigars too, il they wanted TO.
but they didn't; they forbore. perhaps out
Of traditional respect for aristocrats;
perhaps out of their admiration for these
choice high products of their own pro-
fessional confreres.
But things are somewhat different In
these days. what, Lorcnzo-these days OF
fierce democracy, when traditions are
cast to the winds in many ways, when
we'd put cigar bands around stogies If
We wanted to.
Indeed. for years now We have been
putting bands around all sorts of cigars,
50 that this mark has now no longer its
old-tine significance. Once II meant a
rare cigar, a cigar to be cherished, to be
smoked deliberately and in peace and
comfort indoors, out of the wind, where
1t could be most enjoyed and where 1t
could yield it's fullest measure of satisfac-
ton. Now you meet myrfads of men
rushing along the streets smoking cigars
with bands on, biting and chewing and
putting on banded cigars that
We'll. Lorenzo, once that cigar band
was a sure mark Of rank; now IL may
be but sign of rankness. Alas and aalas,
how has the cigar band fallen!"

The Borderland Woman.

from Coiilefe
Outdoor America has evolved very near
ly a new type of woman; or. rather. the
old type has met the challenge OF new
conditions halfway in fashion that has
evolved new type. She is not the new
woman; for she does not talk about
rights. She is too busy doing them.
All the way down the Saskatchewan
we saw them, these borderland women
wives OF new settlers far from neighbor
as sail at sea; daughters of fur traders,
thoughtless of the leagueless trail as city
women are of squares-canoe in summer,
dog train in winter; Indian agents wives,
living pretty much as birds live, on the
wing In the wilds: soft-voiced nuns with
beads In one hand and courage unto
death in the other; hunters daughters
padding about in the raw-red birch bark
canoes, making the muskrat marshes ring
with laughter And they were not sorry
for themselves. these borderland women.
They would not be able to understand the
lugubrious yarns In eastern print about
the hardships of woman's life on the
frontier. Much less would they UNDER
stand the social unrest of the pampered
town woman with her energies damned
in on herself, wretched from idleness and
sheer lack OF the wild joy of living.

A Various Lineage.
From the Indianapolis Star.


Speaker Cannon remarked in speech
made In some meeting at Washington
the other day: II don't regret immigra-
tion wouldn't be here IL 1t wasn't
for that. Id be scattered over the con-
tinent of Europe. There'd be little OF
me in the low country. mite in France,
a portion in Ireland. some more in Eng
land and Scotland"
There is thought here of which the
pedigree seekers, the people who are
trying to trace descent from revolution
ary parsonage or from some celebrated
family Of their name seldom take heed.
The woman who succeeds in finding an
ancestor whose former existence makes
it possible for her to become Colonial
Dame" or a Daughter OF the Revolu-
ton Is likely to fatter herself that the
line OF descent brings her very close to
that departed parsonage. The man who
boasts lineage that leads back to some
far-on celebrity or hero secretly feels
kinship with that individual which he
does not have for nearer progenitors.
Beth ignore or forget the numerous
other ancestors who have response
bility for their being. The son Of the
revolutionary grandfather may have
married, say newly arrived Irish
girl; their daughter, In turn. may have
found q German husband to her liking;
their son, father OF the would-be
dame" or daughter has perhaps
given her a mother whose ancestry IS
as mixed as his own. A dozen strains
have mingled in the blood of the pedi-
gree hunters. but she Is ssrenely con
scious Of but one. Like AIR. Cannon,
she would be scattered over Europe"
IL all the lines were traced with the
same accuracy and industry that she
follows one. But there is after all
something in knowing that one fore
father was worth while. and too much
ridicule should not be cast on her con-
placent satisfaction over her possess

oVEREXERTION.
Effects Of the Marathon Craze-Un
due Strain on Heart.

due Strain on Heart.
From the Youths Companion.
Since the Marathon run last summer
was won by an American. such tests Of
endurance have been enthusiastically pur-
sued by the youth of kindred nations
Americans intend to keep this country at
the front in future Olympic games. Eng
lishmen are preparing to take away that
Misunderstanding so arduously as to
give cause for warnings which their cous-
ins win do well to heed.
The Marathon distance is about twen-
ty-six miles. At the Olympic 1t is COW
cred by young men who are supposed to
be strong, sound, experienced and direct
ed by experts, and who know how to
place each stride and get the most out OF
every muscle. Even SO, a Marathon fin
ish is not a pleasing spectacle. 1t indi-
Gates that the contestants have undergone
a strain from which they will not soon,
II ever, recover
Medical authorities are agreed that this
is the fact Many go further and declare
that just as it harms men to run a long
distance, SO does 1t injure growing boys
to run a shorter distance If the strain OF
competition is added. Five of the most
eminent physicians and surgeons of Eng
land have united in statement that
school and cross-country races exceed
ing one mile are wholly unsuitable for
boys under nineteen, as the continued
strain involved Is apt to cause a perma
nent injury to the heart and other or
gans."
Some will think that this shows excess
Of caution. Perhaps it does, At any
rate, it shows unselfishness, for the doc
tors are trying to forestall conditions that
In later years they would be called upon
to treat. II they are willing to make that
sacrifice for what they conceive to be the
general good, surely any youth can at
ford for his own good to give up the hope
Of momentary fame.
The Marathon craze has served one use
full purpose. however. in that 1t has led to
a thorough re-examination of large and
important questions. So far in Great Brit
ain the conservatives seem to have tri-
umphed. Even the setting up drill of the
British army has of late been revised with
view to eliminate all movements that
put undue strain upon the heart. No one
can go far wrong IL he follows that prece
dent.
Exercise is necessary and wholesome.
Excessive exercise. the overexertion that
leads to collapse or invites accident or
brings on fatigue which is not soon dis
PEELED is always harmful-if not today,
tomorrow.

Giving the Bride a Tip.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Tue SHfclduh Ildlu bcdieT.
Here's little pointer for you, said
the bride of last June to the bride Of this
next June. 'I'll tell you my own expert
ence and you can judge for yourself what
to do. When we returned from our we'd
ding trip and I began to rummage through
Georges belongings l found six or seven
pairs of gloves and at least nine pairs OF
silk hose-things that he had never had
on. They had been tucked away in all
sorts of places. Most of them l at once
recognized as presents ! had given to him
from time to time. Besides them 1 found
a lot of handkerchiefs still unused, hand
kerchiefs that I had embroidered his
initial on with my own hands
What do you suppose / did. Fool
ishly l gathered them all together and
spread them out on the bed where he
would see them when he came home and
feel ashamed of himself for never using
my presents. Just think what lack Of
forethought I showed! Consider what a
saving of pin money 1t would have been
IL had put the things away and then
doled them out to him for Christmas
presents or birthday presents one by one.
1t would have served him exactly right,
too"

NEW YORK. June 30.-The days situa-
tion outside of the stock market itself
contained little or nothing 10 which the
tendencies of the latter could be directly
referred Yet during the greater part of
the business session. the dealings exhib-
tied an irregular and, generally speaking,
reactionary appearance, although the de-
clincs scored were in few cases not at all
extensive.
The market seemed, in fact, to derive
its tone In large measure from London.
where American stocks were depressed
partly because of the circulation there Of
exaggerated rumors with regard to the
labor crisis on a portion of the plant of
the United States Steel corporation.
The London stock market was how
ever, generally heavy, but the selling
here for foreign account was not much
in excess of $4,000 shares, chiefly of
United States Steel common.
Throughout the morning price move
ments were exceedingly irregular and
generally toward lower levels, and there
was little improvement in trading condi-
tions as the day progressed. fair dis
tribution OF interest was evident in the
dealings. and movements In prices were
characterized by a considerable degree
of uniformity
Although this was the last day Of the
month and of the fiscal year, the money
market was quite unruf1ed. and some
very large loans on call were reported as
having been effected at Ia per cent a
somewhat noteworthy figure for this
period Of the year. The foreign exchange
statements of earnings for the month OF
May. including the returns OF the South
ern railway, the Union and Southern Pa
cifc companies and the Rock Island, were
made public. and were gratifying show
ings.
Taken In detail, the stock market was
about the least interesting of any of the
week or, for that matter. of the past ten
days. The United States Steel shares
were again the leading features in point
of activity. and appeared also to show the
way for the rest Of the list to follow.
Aside from the threatened labor trou-
bles at the tin plate mills there was
no news relating to these securities, al
though continuing disappointment was
evident that no official statement had
been forthcoming after yesterday after
Moons meeting of the directors.
Substantial Advances.
In the early part of the day quite SUBJ
stzntial advances were scCfe~ py Amert-
can Locomotive and American Car and
Foundry. but these gains were substan-
TALLY shaded The local traction shares
were fairly active and Third Avenue suf-
fered a further severe decline.
Leading features of the railway list
were Union and Southern Pacific, which
were exceptionally strong; Reading. Rock
Island. Atchison, Erie and the Hill stocks.
ASIDE from the statements OF earnings
previously mentioned, there was. how
ever, no actual news relating to the Sc
curities in question

Cocaine Evil.
n the Rochester Post-Exnreas.


1t is said that not one-half of all the
cocaine imported into the United States
last year was used for medicinal pur-
poses. The use of this drug as a stimu-
liant has increased enormously In recent
years, particularly in those states where
the sale OF liquor has been prohibited.
When used in this way the drug skaters
the nervous system. It has been said that
within the next few years the rate OF
mortality among southern negroes will
increase enormously as a result of the
use OF this drug, and it Is we'll known
that it's effects have been in the highest
degree harmful in some of the northern
and western states. 1t is not surprising.
therefore, that many citizens, especially
physicians and druggists, who are aware
of the rapid increase in the improper use
OF cocaine. are suggesting the federal
regulation of it's sale.
