excused and three were passed
subject to preemptory challenges.
The questions asked the

cover nearly everything from Dan

THE RICHEST NATION

According to statistics prepared
by DR. Mulhall. the celetra
German statistician and checked by
recent revision the richest country
in the world in point If &C
tumulattd wealth is the United
States with a wealth which is
valued at l25 billion. Next on the
list comes Great Britain with an
aggregate wealth upon the islands
in the North sea with SO billions.
France come third with Sc bill.
lions and Germany fourth with SO
billions.
But if the question asked we're
as to the richest people, rather
than the richest country France
would head the list with a per
capita wealth of $2G75. Great
Britain would he second with $2O64,
the limited States third with $1,000
and Germany again last with 1884.
France is the better entitled to it's
headship for in that country more
than is the case in any Of the others
there wealth is more evenly dis
tributed. There are fewer really
pUor people in France than in
either Germany, Great Britain or
the United States. On the other
handthe mult'-millonaire is a
rare figure.
Nor is the United States unless
conditions greatly alter likely to
lose its present supremacy. Ac-
cording to the same statistics the
wealth of iris country lis yearly
increasing at the ratio of three and
one-half per cent while that of
Great Britain is only moving
{ onward at two and one-falf per
Cent and that Of Germany and Of
France is improving but two per
cent annually.

A SANE FORTH OF JULY

ln'the Worlds Work." writer
tells how Sane Forth of July"
was planned and worked out. The
important features was to try to
30 arrange the exercises of the day
as to awaken the patriotism of the
children, to give them and
foreigners who have come to our
shores "the great lessons of
freedom, independence and the
high privilege of citizenhip in this
free land of ours" Come to
think of it. all these things have
been practically ignored since our
great Civil war. The Fourth of
July has been looked upon merely
as a holiday. as a day when it is
right to fire Chinese bombs and
to play smash generally.
Not as day made sacred by
immortal memories: not as a day
around which. namely majesty
clings; an anniversary when not
only was a new nation born. hut
upon which there was called a halt
on the tyrannies that had been a
burden upon mankind for ages and
the command went out. "Nniyerse
attention! Nations. bout face and
forward march,"
To impress upon the youth of
the land the sacredness of the day
of which it was an anniversary,
because of the departure which
it marked that mankind was
finally to come into it own; that
IMAM was born free cd endowed
with certain inalienable rights,
among which were life; liberty
and the pursuit of happiness"
which made Of the day something
more than saint day in mother
church, for the work performed
on the day originally was to
change the American citizen from
being sarvitor to being a sover-
eign.
Thi- sane Fourth described in
Worlds Work was merely that the
people turned out and celebrated
with the children. The prepare
tions for it had been going on for
weeks in the schools. The
children had been drilled for
marching: the boys had heen
given wooden guns which holes
bored in the muzzlns in which to
carry flags. Patriotic songs had
been taught the children SO that
hundreds Of them could sing in
chorus. The Older boys, after the
patriotic service were finished.

WEIGHT AND MEASURE LAW
AnO ITS APPLICATION


June the new law regulating the
weight and measure of com.
modities or articles Of merchandise
has gone into effect. The enforce
ment of this law has been placed
in the hands of the Agricultural
Experiment Station of the Univers-
ity of Nevada. and the details will
be looked after by professor S. c.
Dinsmore. who has been in charge
of the food and drug inspection.
and who be will assisted by NJ. B.
Kennedy and Silas F. Ross.
In speaking Of the enforcement
of the law yesterday, Professor
Dinsmore stated that the matter
would be done in gradual
manner so as to not work hard
ship on the various state mer
chants. II
THE merchants have been
advised as to the intent of the
law" said Mr.. Dinsmore, and
from the advices received we have
been given to Understand that the
dealers will work in harmony with
us in order to secure the desired
result.
A number of inquiries have
been received asking about the
regulation of scales used in
stores. The commission will not
advocate the use of any prticular
brand for sale. The only thing
that will be demanded is that the
scales are adjusted correctly go
that the purchaser will be protected
The different scales will be ex.
amined and if certain ones are
found to register false weight the
merch. Mt will be given an op-
portunity to adjust the device.
and if it cannot be perfected then
1t will be necessary to secure a
new weighing continuance.
The standard Ct weights is
defined as that used and adopted
by the United States Government.
During recent trip through
the EASTERN part of the state |
was informed by merchants that
every effort would be made to con-
form with the law and all we're
eager for information on the SUBJ
ject. The Agricultural depart
ment recently issued a bulletin
giving the full text Of the law and
this was sent 10 all merchants in
the state. An additional bulletin
will be issued shortly defining the
work as carried out so far. and the
result that is expected to he &C.
complished.
In a recent conversation with
manufacturers of Salt Lake WAS
informed that the proper cog
nizance had been taken of the new
law. One of the party, carly
manufacturer, stated that he could
place his wares on the Nevada
market in packages labeled as to
the weight of the contents as soon
as the necessary arrangements
could be made.
Another gentleman, represent
ing bottle factory stated that a
number of business men of this
state had already ordered bottles
of the half, pint and quart size to
conform with the requirements of
the measures section of the law.
These orders we're mostly from
persons identified with the LIQUOR
business.
We do not expect any difficulty
in the enforcement Of the law, and
with the assurance that we have
already received from the mer-
chants of the state, It is expected
that the work will be in full
progress without delay.
An attempt to start out i'm
mediately and enforce every
section of the law to the very
letter would work an unjustifiabIe
hardship on the Merchants. Never
theless have already made our
start and accord ding to our plans It
will be a month or more hefore uce

Erroneous View.

Many are the stories told of
Father Healy, the Irish priest. whose
wit and wisdom were well matched.
One day a vain young woman, who
had exaggerated ideas of her own
charms, told him she feared she had
a besetting sin.
And what is it," asked Father
Healy, his shrewed eyes having dis
eerned his neighbor at dinner wish
ed to be questioned.
IT Is this" she said. her eyes de-
murely cast down. Every time
pass a looking glass | think of my
beauty"
Oh said Father Healy. that is
no sin, my daughter, but perhaps it
is a slight mistake, just a little error
