From the Pittsbwg Dispatch.
II is characteristic of the tariff CAM
paign by the Democrats that the article
of Mr.. Lauck in this months Atlantic
is widely and approvingly quoted by news
papers supporting that party. Yet that
article largely turns on an error that
every one who looks below the surface
should be able to see for himself
Dealing with the question of labor cost,
Mr. Lauck makes several rather ultra
assertions of very small labor cost in
products that sell for many times the
amount that he states to be the wages
paid. The basis of his assertion is the
labor cost, which he states is that OBJ
tained by dividing the total output into
the total wages, entirely regardless of
the important item of labor cost in the
materials used. Yet this ignores the chief
factors in that item, especially for fin
ished articles. To illustrate: The labor
cost of converting billets into steel rails
is a comparatively small amount but the
labor cost of making the billets. before
that of making pig iron, and before that
of mining, making and transporting the
ore, coal, coke, and limestone, will sum
up a total much larger than he states.
Even il the case were as Mr.. LAUGH rep
resents, that should make the tariff eX-
tremists more ready to accept the Repub-
lican principle of revising the tariff on
the principle of the difference in impair
TALLY ascertained labor costs II the Ia
Dor cost is as small as he says, the reduce
ton of the tariff by that policy would be
the greater.

Health by statute.
From the Boston Traveller.

From the Boston Traveller.
Over in England they dare 90 farther
than in this country in the matter of
regulating personal habits and practices
for the general good. The London Dor
Ough of Paddington has just put into
effect regulations requiring that the
doors of all living rooms in dwellings
shall be swept at least once a day, and
washed at least once a week, and that
the windows of all sleeping rooms shall
be opened for an hour each morning and
afternoon, except when the weather is
irclement or the room occupied by a
sick person to whom exposure would be
harmful. The penalty for violation of
the regulations is a fine of five pounds
This is the most modern and drastic
attempt that has yet been made to force
the people to conform more stricEly to
the recognized rules of health Hereto
fore. the municipality has assumed that
domestic cleanliness and household ven
tilation We're matters within the discre-
ton of the individual, except where
conditions existed that were a distinct
menace to public health or had become
a public nuisance. There seems, how
ever. no inconsistency in the attitude of
municipality that where people will
not regard the ordinary rules of clean
illness it is its duty to compel them TO
do so.

man of tendencies toward deafness, the
man whose criminal life has impaired his
body in any way that can be cured by

it was stopped. A colored boy. who was
in the buggy at the time the horse ran
away, was thrown from the vehicle and
slightly bruised.

adventure while camping in the woods

The two men were running lines in the
timber limits in the afternoon and on
their return to camp found that some
thing had been into their grub pack.
Suspecting a bear they watched part Of
the night, but with no luck.
Finally Laplatt tied the grubsack with
a rope and attached it to his foot and went
to sleep. He aWoke feeling something

Keep a-laughin', don't y worry,
An dull care won't have show.

Where old Trouble never strays
An you'll help tn world be merry
While y live through happy days.
Keep on dreamin', it won't hurt ye';
Let the world know you don't care
Though the wild winds rage an ruin
All your castles of the air.
Sing your song-if it's sad one
But if there is sunshine in it
Lift your voice and let it run.
Don't quit hopin', it will bring y
All y need an plenty more.
He who works an keeps a-smilin'
Finds life sweet unto tn core.
S'pose tn clouds do hide tn heavens?
Can't have blue skies all tn while;
Got t. use tn clouds for somethin';
W won't mind it if y smile.
If " feel bad, just remember
There's heap worse off than you,
But they smile an keep on hopin'
An their days are never blue,
What's the use, friend o. complainin'?
1t won't get y nothin' good
While yon'll sure be well and happy
If " smile an saw your wood.

VACATION DAYS

Wherever possible, it is we'll to take
few weeks or days vacation, during
the heated months; but there are
thousands of families who, for various
excellent reasons, find it impossible to
leave the treadmill of life. For these,
one can only suggest, and even then,
the suggestions may not bear fruit be-
cause of conditions" Still, we can
but wish that every one of our readers
may find it in his or her power to run
away from care and joyin the abandon
ment of all wearing duties for even a

worth trying for, and if we can not get

the "wheels go round" as softly and
iretlessly as possible. Let each rest
all that is possible by cutting out many
unnecessary tasks.

Estimating Power of Sea.

The Give power" of furious sea is
estimated by multiplying the mass of
the surge by the square of its speed.
When the surf, impeled by the drive
of the broad sea, meets solid OBJ
stacle, its pressure Is thirty tons per
square meter of water. This estimate,
which IS close, explains how water,
when continually sapping the foot Of
a cliff, breaks down the land, forces
back the shore line, and little by lit
tie, constantly and surely, increases
the seas domain. A wave from 33 to
35 feet high. and 625 feet long--such
a wave as the sea produces every Is
seconds-represents power of about
1850 H. P.-steam-per square yard
