Investigating Labor Camps.

Albany, N. V, Aug. 1.-The
New York State Bureau of indus
tries and immigration has special
corps of investigators examining
the 1000 immigrant labor camps
in the northern part of the state,
paper pulp and highway camps in
the St. Lawrence section, and az
ueduct, railroad and brick yard
camps constitute the major portion
of the camps. A year ago an in
vestigation was made and the re-
port declared that most of these
camps were unhealthy and men
ace to the health of the state.
This year the investigators will
compare the conditions with those
of last year for the purpose of
recommending what reforms sug-
gest themselves.

Horseshoers' School.

Ithaca, Aug. beginning next
winter a school for Horseshoers
will be opened in connection with
the veterinary department of the
University of Cornell. This will
be the first school of its kind, so it
is stated, to be established in Amer
ica. In most of the countries of
Europe the Horseshoers, before be-
ing permitted to engage in business
must give some time to the study
of anatomy of the foot and limb so
that in his practice the horse may
be better safe-guarded against in
ferior practice and assurance given
the owner that his animal is being
shod by fully qualified man.

US as to the nature of this prince !?
They serve a double purpose. Not
merely do we learn that Hamlet was
fat man, but also that he was an un-
happy fat man. Hamlet was man to
whom his bulk was an aff1iction. He
was handicapped by 1t and knew that
he was. Some such idea is discernible
In every one Of the great soliloquies.
He scorns himself for a sluggard:
What is a man
II his chief good and market of his time
Be but to seep and feed?
His mind unhinged or not, is OBJ
sessed by fatness. and in the mad tur-
moil of emotions after he has slain
Polonius his thoughts run:
We fat all creatures else to fat us. and
We fat ourselves for maggots.
1t bursts out again in the ''Oh, what
rogue and peasant slavew harangue
Ere this
should have fatted all the regions kites
With this slaves offal
And who but a fat, lethargic man
would have said In the "To be or not to
be" speech:
Who would fardels bear
To grunt and sweat under weary life
Does not the phrase bring to mind at
once the picture of fat man toiling at

YOUR OWN VOICE.
Row You May Hear It as II Sounds TO
Other Persons, Ears.

Laloy, who appears to have scien-
tifically investigated the matter, as
sures us that not only does one not see
himself as others see him, but that he
does not hear himself as others hear
him. Some interesting experiments
were made by the French gavant in
this connection.
In order to ascertain whether man
really knew the sound of his own
voice, Laioy has been at some pains to
determine the facts. His experiments
phonograph disk few sentences pro-
nounced by himself, together with 9TH
ers recorded by friends, and causes the
machine to reproduce these, 1t most
frequently happens that the man more
easily recognizes the voices of his
friends than he does his own.
1t appears that the differences lies
In the quality of the tone. One hears
his own voice not only through the
air, as do his auditors, but across the
solid parts between the organs of
speech and those of hearing. The
sound thus produced has a different
timbre from that conducted to the ear
by the air above.
II one entertain any doubt as to this
st him try the following experiments:
Take the end of wooden rod between
the teeth and pronounce the vowel
continuously. Let the other end be
taken alternately between the teeth
and released by another person who at
the same time stops his ears. The lat
ter will find that every time he seizes
the rod In his teeth the sound will be
stronger than when 1t reaches the ear
through the air above and that 1t has a
different quality The passage of
sound through a solid body augments
its intensity and modi6es its quality

plants die that part which is not used

The Railroad Situation.

Washington, Aug Upon the
passage by Congress of the new
Mediation and Councilmen Law,
supplanting the Erdman Act, the
President appointed as the new
meditation board Judge William F,
Chambers, at one time Justice Of
the International Court at Samoa,
and since 1901 a member of the
Spanish Treaty Claims Commission
Judge Martin A. Knapp, presiding
Judge of the United States Com
merce Court, and Louis Post, As
sistant Secretary of Labor. The
two first named were confirmed by
the Senate, but for some reason,
based on the phraseology of the
law, Mr.. Post was not confirmed
However, the Board of Mediation
is at work, while indications point
ed TO extreme difficulty in harmon
izing the differences between the
managers of the railroads and the
representatives OF the Brotherhood,
a sort of understanding has been
reached, and 1t appears now that
a settlement will be had under the
new law. One of the disquieting
episodes which has been relieved,
was the fact that the Erie Railroad
until recently, refused to become a
part of the general mediation and
arbitration plan. Another trouble
some factor was the fact that the
railroads at first insisted on several
questions raised by the railroads
being adjudicated at the same time
that the wage question is taken up.
From the best information obtaina-
BILE it now seems that all of the rail-
roads involved are to cooperate
with the Brotherhoods to reach
settlement on the wage question,
and, after that is settled, then the
railroads are to bring forward the
demands which they propose to
make the Brotherhoods and the
Mediation and Arbitration Board
will be resorted to for the purpose
OF arranging a settlement

Closing Unclean Shops.

Denver, Aug. 1.-The State
Board of Examiners of BARRIERS is
continuing its crusade against in
sanitary barber shops. A number
of places have been closed owing
to the insanitary and even filthy
condition of the shops. The law
under which the State Board of
Examiners is operating has been
extremely beneficial in curtailing
the spread of disease, no person
person being permitted to work at
the barber trade who is afflicted
with a contagious or infectious all
ment. Large number of tubercu-
losis patients are in Colorado, and
with the enforcement of present
law patrons of barber shops are
given adequate protection again in
fection by this disease. There are
600 less BARRIERS in Colorado than
when this law became operative
four years ago. This is considered
to be of inestimable benefit to the
general public.

last year. This was brought about
through the installation of mechan-
ical tabulation fox adding postmast-
ers' money order accounts, At the
time Congress authorized the audi
tor TO install tabulating machines,
provisions was made for converting
the salaries of 207 money order
assorters and skilled laborers, with
average salaries of $760 per annum
into lump sum for payment to
machine operatives on piece work
basis. Following the Inauguration
of this system proficiency was
gained in the operation of the ma
chine, and fewer employees were
needed to handle the work, and all
vacancies were allowed to remain
untitled, so at the present time LII
machine operatives are drawing the
salaries formerely paid to 207 en-
ployes, and the average machine
operative gets $945 per annum, as

salary of S760. No employe is per-

The traditional Hamlet of our stage
is lean, ascetic young person, an
idealized, etherealized, heroic creature
evolved for the delectation of the matt

credible that such q man would have
lacked the determination, the purpose

very well to argue about his mental
balance. 1t was his sluggish liver
that stayed him and hampered him.

Ever since diplomacy was first in
vented its most eminent practitioners
have expended their best efforts In
mystifying if not in actually deceiving
their rivals. Uber Land und Nicer cites
an amusing anecdote of diplomatic life
in the eighteenth century.
In 1741 Count Bestushew was sent
by the emperor of Russia to Stockholm
to put the question of war or peace to
the Swedish government. Upon arriv-
ing the count made known his mission
and then waited patiently for an an
swer
Finally when he had almost given up
hope of getting a reply he received a
long communication from the Swedish
minister of war Eagerly Count Bestu-
shew opened the letter, for he knew
that 1t contained the long expected an
swer. But to his despair he found it
so encountered with official phrases
and formalities that he could make
nothing of its meaning. For two hours
he struggled in vain to comprehend the
confused document Then he FASTENED
to the minister of war.
My dear Count Bestushew," said
the minister when the count had ex-
planned his difficulty, 81 have no au-
thority TO communicate to you orally

Apaches to Terms.

peacemaker He persuaded a band of
Apaches to go back to their reservation
by presenting doll 70 papoose The
incident was as follows:
General Crook had been trying TO put
these Apaches back on the reserve. but
could not catch them without killing
them, an action that did not appeal to
him. One day his forces captured
papoose and took her to the fort She
was quiet all day but her black eyes
watched everything When night came
the child broke down and sobbed Just
as any white youngster might
The fort was In despair until Major
Bourke had an idea From the adiu-
tant's wife he borrowed doll that had
come TO her little girl the previous
Christmas When the young Apache
understood that 1t was hers to keep
her sobs ceased and she fell asleep.
When morning came the doll was
still clasped tightly IN her arms She
played with It all day. and seemingly
all thought Of ever getting back to the
tribe had left her
Several days passed with no sign of
overture being made by the tribe, and
finally in despair the papoose. with the
doll still in her possession, was sent
back. When the child reached the
tribe with the prize grasped in her
chubby hands 1t created a sensation
among the native Americans, and her
mother later went back to the post
with It She was received in a hos.
pitable manner and kindly treated.
and the effect Of her visit was such
that through her overtures were made,
with the result that soon afterward
the entire band moved back on the re-

CHOCOLATE AS A FOOD.
it Should Be Eaten After and Never
Before Meals.

5eroTe MeatS,
Chocolate is one of the most whole
some of foods But 1t should be re-
served for eating after meals. Nothing
can be worse than chocolate eaten
just before a meal, for then 1t ruins
the appetite Chocolate should consist
Of equal parts of sugar and cocoa.
When it contains, as most of that sold
in the cheap candy stores does, more
sugar than cocoa it loses much of its
real food value.
Koenig, the great German chemist.
who has done so much to enligbten the
world on the value Of foods by publish
ing his analysis of them. says that
chocolate contains 627 per cent of pro-
tein, go per cent of theobromine, 81 20
per cent of fat, 1.36 per cent of tar
taric acid 53.70 per cent OF sugar, 4.07
per cent of starch. 1.67 per cent of Gel
lulose and $50 per cent Of other car
bohydrates Therefore it is highly nu-
tritive.
Athletes, polar explorers and noun
tain climbers know this well. In the
Swiss Alps it is usual to carry choco-
late In the pocket and to eat a little
of 1t whenever the climbers pause for
a rest But chocolate is fattening and
should therefore be eschewed by those
who have tendency to too great cor
pulency. 1t is an ideal addition to the
diet of vegetarian
Chocolate and cocoa are almost as
none of the injurious effects upon the
nervous system which are for many
people the great drawbacks of these
drinks
Chocolate is best when made over.
