Tbs middl. Hors,,


A farmer, blowing with three horses
hitched abreast, noticed that the mid.
de horse became tired and exhausted
long before either Of its mates. AS
the animal was the equal in every
way Of the other two, he was puzzled
as to the cause Of its not being able
to stand the same amount Of work
BE finally observed, however, that as
they drew the plow along the three
horses held their noses close toeeth.
er, with the result that the middle
horse was compelled to breathe the ex-
pired air from It's fellows. The farmer
then procured a long .jockey" STICK
which he fastened with straps TO the
bits of the outside horses. The device
worked perfectly. for. given its right.
full share Of good, fresh air, the, mid
die horse was able to do the sama
amount Of work and with no greater
fatigue than Its fellows.
Many persons are Ike the middle
horse-they do not get their rishtful
share of pure afr. And this Is why
they are not able to perform as much
work nor of rs good a quality as they
would otherwise be able to do.-chi-

Survival Of tho Fittest.

Only one oyster embryo out OF every
100000 produced grows up through
all the successive stages Of youth to
the adult state. Even In animals
which produce a small number OF
young there is great destruction, and.
taking all the individuals into consid-
Grafton, only single pair Of young
arrive at maturity to replace their par
ents. There Is no exception to the rule
that every organic being naturally
1nultiplies at so high a rate that II
not destroyed the progeny of a single
pair would soon cover the earth. The
elephant Is reckoned the slowest breed
er OF known animals. 1t commences
to breed at thirty years Of age, dies
at 100 and has six young in the inter-
val. After $50 years, supposins all
the offspring OF single pair fulfilled
the rule and were not destroyed in an
alntimely way. there would be nearly
100000 elephants alive descended
from the first pair.-Slr Ray Lancaster

CONSERVING LABOR.
The Worker is the Greatest Factor In
Production of Wealth.

The Worker Is the Greatest Factor In
Production of Wealth.
Nothing could be more hopeful than
the awakened interest in the preserva-
ton Of our natural resources. We
could not wish to dIScredIt It. But 1t
may be pertinent to ask whether we
understand what our real resources
are and whether We are not overlook
ing our most destructive forms of
waste.
Corresponding to the economists
three factors OF production there are
three conspicuous forms of waste
waste labor. waste land and waste cap
ital. The greatest Of these is waste
labor. but 1t Is the form Of waste
which is least understood and appre-
ciated- 1t is the most important be-
cause it is the human factor which
is being wasted. and the human factor
has always and everywhere been the
greatest factor in the production OF
wealth.
Communities have grown rich In
poor environments and poor in rich
environments. but no community ever
grew rich while wasting its human
energy. and 1t IS doubtful II any com
munity ever remained poor which
utilized. and conserved its labor power.
Labor power. Of course, includes men
tai as well as physical energy. That
waste labor power is the form OF
waste least considered is shown by
the fact that great many people, per-
haps majority. not only do not depre-
cate it but actually think 1t a good
thing. a leisure class to consume the
products Of the workers is thought by
many to be an economic necessity

Unions increase Proficiency and Less.
en- Risk Of Accident.
The employment Of structural iron
workers, or bousesmiths and bridge
men, rs they call themselves, Is extra
hazardous. There IS probably no other
class of work in which the risks TO
life and limb are 50 great or the per
centage Of serious accidents so high.
And according to statistics submitted
by the New York district council Of
United Housesmiths and Bridgemen
there Is no other calling in which the
benefits Of unIonEsm. in other direc.
lions than wages. are 50 marked. Be.
cause Of the proficiency required US a
condition OF eligibility to membership
and the safeguards thrown about men
while at work under union regulations
accidents other than the absolutely nm
foreseen and unavoidable do not occur
on union jobs.
Nearly all the mishaps. say the men.
are due to the bunSling incompetents
or to defective appliances forced upon
workmen who lack the power Of or.
Sanizatlon to compel superintendent
and foremen to exercise proper care
for the safety Of those under them.
And the union IN this city presents
casualty statistics rs proof OF this as
sertton.
The district council has from time
to time given out statements compar-
ing the casualties upon n nonunIou Job
with a similar piece Of work erected
by union men. The latest OF these
statements deals with the East river
bridges. The Manhattan bridge, which
recently completed its steel connec-
ton. is a union job. Two men have
been Injured during the erection Of the
1900 tons Of steel in this bridge. one
suffering a broken leg. the other
broken arm And the work is consld.

Rod.
On the river span Of the Blackwelrs

the district council. that hfty-hve
men lost their lives" This was a
nonunIon Job. and the contractors
asked for and obtained extensions of
time. aggresatinS eighteen months. in
which TO complete the job.
Here IS an argument in favor Of un-

When the Terror ouaiIed.

BE would terrorize the neighbOrs in
a most outrageous way, broke the

cles he could wipe men in the dust and
show master tricks at fencing-laugh
at every cut and thrust. He slew IT,
gers in the jungle and scalped red
skins on the plain. BE chased lions
across the mountains and harpooned

II TO act clcycrly on the spot Is the
measure OF tact then the man who
figures in the subjolned New York
Tribune story deserves both respect
and admiration: A woman. driving
through New England last summer.
noticed suddenly that her horse lImped
a bit, so when she reached the next
village she stopped at the door of the
blacksmith shop. A man was holding
up the doorpost. and to him she said:
'Will you please tell the blacksmith
TO come out? want to see him"
After the manner Of the village
idIer, the man did not stir. but smiled
ssweetly at the woman and, lifting up
his voice. called:
%BnI. come out! There's a lady
wants to see You"
From the depths OF the blacksmith
shop a deeper voice roared:
as she young. John. or old%'
In the words Of the old poem. "she
looked at John and John looked al
her" Then. still without moving, be
answered:
you'll be satisfied, Eli, when you

TeIearapher, to eet Ineren,..

1t is reported that the operators en-
ployed by the Western Union on the
Pacific coast are TO receive an increase
OF u per cent in their salaries. This
will bring the pay Of first class oper-
ators up TO $sS month, and others
will be advanced proportionately.
About 1000 operators Will be affected.
The officials OF the company frankly
state that this step is necessary to OBJ
tain the services Of competent oper-
atorS. Since the teleSraphers' strike
the service upon the coast has been
admittedly unsatisfactory to both the
company and the public. To induce
the return Of the competent operators
who went out at the time OF the strike
1t has ben found necessary to advance
the salaries.

New Embroidery stIietto.

A man in New Jersey has earned

sists OF a small rod. tapering into Z
sharp point and equipped with han.
die. Along this rod runs q gauge dc.
vice held In position by screw. The
nearer this gauge Is to the point OF
the stiletto. the smaller the hole made
and. conversely. when 1t is run back
toward the handle. the circumference
of the holes may be increased to that
OF the rod itself. II can thus be made
to pierce any size holes. from small
eyelets to comparatively large circles.
Heretofore. unless q woman had an
assortment Of stilettos OF various
sizes. and few had such variety. only
one size hole could be made In . fab.

neat graduated circles were found

gloomy house round which SO many
odd rumors centered. Their sum.
mons was SO long In being answered
that the detective had rung impa-
