SCORES FREE TRADE.
Tariff Expert Says 1t Has Made Eng
land Rag Bag.

New York. Sept. 27.-F'ree trade
has made Great Britain the world s
rag bag in the opinion of J Ellis Bar
ker. noted English tariff expert and
writer upon economic subjects, who is
in New York on his first visit to the
United States to study economics here
at short range.
''The condition of the American
workingman is far above that of his
British brother says Mr. Barker. "OW-
ing largely to unemployment and ex-
tremely low wages, British workers
live from hand to mouth Very few
have any tangible property, While
very large percentage of American
workmen. have land and houses of
their own. Besides American working
men have almost S4,000,000,000, in
savings banks, While British work ers
have only $1,000, 100000.
1.-THE aspect of commercial and in
dustrial England resem bleS most close
ly that of the state of New York, but
New York state alone has more money
in the savings banks than the whole
of the United Kingdom, while per head
of population there is in the savings
banks of Great Britain only $25 as
compared with $500 in New York.
1.-THE average wage of all wage earn
ers for full employment in the cotton
trade in England is $3.50 a week. In
the wooden trade it is $780, in the
clothing trade the same, while in the
linen trade it is less than 50. Agri-
cultural laborers receive from 81 to
$3.50 a week. These are scarcely liv-
ing wages.
Free trade has the proud distinc-
ton of being the largest importer of
the world. and curiously enough, the
bulk of these comes from the three
great protection countries, the United
States, Germany and France. Golden

remain the workshop of the world.
Free trade has made her the rag shop

MASS. PRIMARY.
Democrats Are Choosing Their State
Delegates Today.

Boston. Sept. 27.-It was not expect
edy that the Democratic primaries
held throughout the state today for
the election of delegates to the state
congressional, county and legislative
conventions would determine definitely
the name of the party candidate for
governor for only a few of the dele
gates to the Faneuil hall convention
October were pledged.
1t was expected, however. that the
primaries would settle the congression-
al contests in the Ninth, Tenth and
Eleventh districts where direct nomin-
ations prevailed. Interest therefore
centers in these three districts, where
the present representatives, John A.
KeIiher, Joseph F. O'Connell and An
drew J. Peters, were opposed for re-
election.

Toy AeropIane Now Appears.

,WashlngtOn, Sept. 27.-The Ger
mans astuteness in selling a new idea
or furnishing the public with a novelty
is evidenced in the toy market and the
miniature aeropIane is now being
manufactured in large numbers to
met the general demand of Juveniles.
The enthusiasm over aeronautics in
Germany, France. England, America
and other countries, gave the German
toy manufacturer Il welcome oppor-
tunity of deluging the home and for
eign markets with this unique device.
Consul General Bywater at Dresden
states that German trade in the toy
aeroplane bids fair to rank high. Ger
many's toy trade aggregates $4,000

EARNING A BIG SALARY.
Story Told About General Manager
Frank Hedley, of the Interborough.

"How does a high salaried man
earn his pay?" asks a writer in Sys-
TEN, and proceeds to answer his own
question with the following incident:
Some time ago Frank HeGley, the
general manager of the Interborough,
was waiting on subway station
platform. A train drew in with the
power OIL, reached the stop signal and
came to a sudden halt, iolting the
passengers and straining the machin-
cry. The incident gave him an idea.
He went to a manufactures OF
time clocks and gave an order for an
experimental timepiece that would re-
cord elapsed time during which cleo
trio power was being used by the In
terborough trains. The manufacture
er in due time produced a small de-
vice that could be attached to the
mechanism in the motorman's box in
such a way that the power could be
turned on only after the time clock
had been unlocked by the motorman's
special key and the clock set in oper-
alton.
clock would record the exact moment.
BY this means the exact number of
hours, minutes and seconds, during
which that motorman consumed elecS
trio current was automatically re-
corded and a special device printed
the total elapsed time during the
days run.

motormen's control boxes in all the
trains on one line and experimental
with for a month. Instructions were
issued to the motormen to coast into
the stations by turning off the power
as far distant from the stopping place
as possible and come to a gradual halt
after running some rods by the force
of momentum. Rewards were offered
to the men whose records showed the
most economical use of electric power.
"At the end of the month the engi-
neer of the line reported reduction
of over fifteen per cent. in the power
consumed. The individual records of
the men showed reduction ranging
from ten per cent. to forty per cent.
over the amount of power used pre-
viously. Time clocks have been or
dered for the other Interborough
lines.
''It may be assumed that the same
saving in power will be effected. The
Interboroughs annual coal bill for
producing electric current is $2,S00,-
| 900. A saving of fifteen per cent.
means saving of $294,OOO year on
this item alone to say nothing of the
saving on wear and tear Of machinery.
The sum is considerably larger than
Frank Hedley's salary"

Antiquity of Shorthand.

Shorthand is apt to be looked upon
as an essentially modern art. The
predecessors of Pitman, Byron, in the
eighteenth century; Mason. in the sew
enteenth-are dim and distant figures
beyond which 1t seems useless to ven-
ture. Cicero dictated his orations to
to his freedman, T. Tullius Trio, and
was inconsolable when temporarily
deprived of his services. He COM
planned in a letter to friend that
while "Tlro takes down whole phrases
in few signs. Spintharus (his pro-
visional substitute) only writes in syl-
lables." We need not. however. sup
pose that the "notae Tironianae"
were actually invented by the freed
man In question. AS M. Guenin points
out, the Romans created very few of
the arts OF peace, contenting them
selves. as a rule, by copying from the
Greeks. M. Guenin. however, indi-
Gates the banks OF the Nile as the
cradle of the art.--T. P.'s Weekly.

Farmers Cows.

On the average farm where it is
not the intention to do extensive
dairy work, we find many COWS that
are cross-bred animals. They have
been bred with the idea of producing
a dual purpose; or farmers cows, as
they are sometimes called. These
cows are usually a cross between
some beef breed and a breed of dairy
qualities, and as a result we have
neither, but mongrel whose good
qualities are hard to discover We
have COW that not only does not pro-
duce enough milk and butter to pay
for the care and feed she receives,
but produces a calf that does not de-
yelop sufficiently to pay for the milk
and the feed it receives. There have
been cows that produced fair
amount of milk and butter, whose
calves were better than the average
dairy calf, but it must he understood
that these are exceptions and are hard
to find. There are other points. too,
, that are against these cows doing
their best. The feed and care many
receive quite frequently consists only
of pasture in summer and corn, hay,
straw and cornstaIks in winter. The
milking is done out of doors most of
the year and the cows are only stabbed
during the severest weather.-Farm-
ers' Home Journal.
