THE HUMAN FACTORY.
Its Machinery Develops With the ln-
 telect That Directs 1t.

X human being is a kind of factory The engine and the works and all the various machines are kept in the base ment, and he sends down orders to them from time to time, and they do the work which has been conceived up in headquarters. He expects the works down below to keep on doing these things without his taking any particu lar notice of them, while he occupies his mind, as the competent head of fac tory should, with the things that are new and different and special and that his mind alone can do: the things which, at least in their present initial formative or creative stage. no ma chimes as yet have been developed to do and which can only be worked tout by the man up in the headquarters himself, personally. by the handiwork of his own thought.
 The more a human being develops the more delicate. sensitive. strong and efficient, the more spirit informed, once for all, the machines in the basement are. As he grows the various sub conscious arrangements for discrimi hating. aSsimiating. classifying ma terial, for pumping up power. light and heat to headquarters. all of which can be turned on at will. grow more mas terful every year. They are found all slaying away for him. dimly, down in the dark while he sleeps. They hand him llD in his very dreams new and strange powers to live and to know witl.-Gerald Stanley Lee in Atlantic Magazine.

When Buttons Were Unknown.

How did the world manage for cen turies without buttons? In early ages they were unknown. The voluminOus garments of oriental races are still at tached to their wearers by means of straps, as were those of the Greeks and Romans. The Normans were respon- sible for the invention. The etymology of the word points to the derivation of the idea Bout, an end or extremity, and bouter. to push, show that the button was originally push piece, like the buttons of our modern electric bells. The Normans probably conceiv- ed the idea from the rough knots of their furniture, on which most likely they hung their garments. Once in- troduced, buttons came rapidly into common use.

ABANDONED INFANTS.
The "Baby Post" Once Did Rushing
 Business In Enqland


 There once fourished in England 6 regular "baby post" the rates of post age being fixed on a strictly business basis, according to distances traversed. The curious institution came into ex- istence in connection with the found ling hospital in Guildford street. When this charity was first established it was understood that it's operations would be confined to London and it's environs. But the people of the coun- try towns and villages heard of it and showed decided disposition to share in its advantages; hence the "baby postw
 All over the country there were men and women who entered vigorously into the business of carrying chill dren to London and depositing them at the gates of the founding hospital. The charge was 8 guineas from distant localities like York and Monmouth, down to a guinea from places situated within thirty to fifty miles of the me- tropolis. The unfortunate infants were borne on horseback in panniers, two to each pannier, or in wagons lined with straw, for which the charge was some what less.
 Naturally abuses grew up in con- nection with the traffic. But, even apart from them, the mortality among the posted" babies was terrible Thus out of 14,034 received at the hospital in four years, only 4,400 lived to be ''apprenticed out" being mortality of more than 70 per cent.
 Eventually parliament passed a measure abolishing the practice, and the "baby post' ceased..-London An SWerS.

SAVED BY A GHOST,
Curious Story of Specter and the
 Lonely Yorkshire Moors.


 It is not often that we hear of ghost saving a mans life There is however, an instance, and it seems to be tolerably well authenticated, and materialists will hardly know how to account for it. Here is the story. It Is of the Yorkshire dales and of a good many years ago.
 clergyman whose duty lay in that wild country, where a strong race of men and women lived principally on bacon and Oatcake. used to ride or walk to visit the people. He had been raising a subscription in a time of scarcity and had to be out late at night One evening on his outward journey he suddenly became aware of figure moving beside him, and in the gloam- Ing he recognized his brother, who had died some time before He was too awestruck for words, and after keep ing by his side for some distance over the lonely moor the figure disappear ed. He noted the time and the vision, but nothing occurred to throw any light upon it.
 However, some years after he had taken the duty at a jail ill another part of the country one of the prisoners ly- ing under sentence desired to make a confession. After telling him of a lot of crimes he said: "I wor very near once taking your life, sir. It was in that bad year, and l heerd as how you went carrying money about in those lonesome dales. l hid behind the big powders of the brown moor. l saw you coming up and waited till you should be near enough. but that night you were not alone"
 This is a startling tale and the stronger because the vision or what ever it was was seen by two people. The anecdote occurs in an article twen- ty years ago in Macmillan's Magazine by Lady Verney.

SAVED HIS CABLE TOLLS.
A Clever Ruse at Home Gave Him the
 Information He Wanted.

W aHlGU,
 wealthy merchant iu l'nriS whc does an extensive business With Japan Was informed that Il prominent firm iu Yokohama had failed. but the name oi the firm hn could not learn He could have learned the truth by cabling; but to save expense, instead he went to a well known banker who had received the news and requested him to reveal the name of the firm.
 That's very delicate thing to do. replied the banker, for the news is not official. and if gave you the name l might incur some responsibility"
 The merchant argued, but in vain. and finally he made this proposition:
 "i will give you," he said "a list of ten firms in Yokohama and I will ask you to look through it and then tell me, without mentioning any name, wheth. CT or not the name of the firm which has failed appears in it. Surely you will do thht for me"
 "Ycs." said the banker, "for if do not mention any name cannot be held responsible in any way"
 The list was made The banker look ed through it and as he handed it back to tue merchant said. "The name of the merchant who has failed is therc"
 Then I've lost heavily" replied the merchant. ''for that Is the firm with which l did business." showing him a name on tEe list
 "Rnt how do you know that is the firm which has failed r asked the bank CT in surprise
 "Ncry easily" replied the merchant '-Of ihn ten names on inc list only one is genuine that of the firm with which did business. All the others are fic- titious,"

to socialism in ten million years. Marx
could analyze historical epoch, but
would be lost in a big factory, in a
big railroad yard or in a saw mill. The
workers, as Marx said, will enamel
pate themselves" That means that
when the workers overcome capitalist
ethics and become intelligently cons
cious of their class interests as op-
posed to capitalist class interests,
they will take collective action in &C
cord Herewith. Therefore industrial
democracy will come WHEN THE
WORKERS IN THE INDUSTRIES
ARE READY FOR IT.
Comrade Shockley further states:
"These very persons who are making
such loud noise about the so-called
Bourgeoisie in the party have drawn
their knowledge of political economy
and sociological questions from men
whose immediate economic interests
were not compatible with the interests
of the proletariat."

INFLUENCE OF GOVERNMENT
ON MORALITY.
w. c. 3. Randolph.

We often hear the casual observer
saw. "You can't make men good by
law" And one may wonder why, if
that be true, we take the trouble to
have any government at all. The real
truth is that government or the laws
made by government are only the ex-
nressions of what the people as
whole think is right for men to do.
And this sets up a standard OF con-
duct which will be eXcelled only by
the morally strong, and which socl-
ETY. sanctions in all
Governments are formed, main
tanned and improved in accordance
with the prevailing sense of right and
wrong, and what is thus permitted in
one age as right, may in an advanced
period be regarded as wrong, because
the perceptions of the people are cons
family becoming more acute in that
and other directions, and then we see
a wave Of reform" sweep over the
country, in an effort to set up a new
standard on a given phase of human
conduct. and chrystalized in to law.
Even a superficial examination OF
the radical differences between the
standards of today as compared to
those of the barbarous ages will serve
to make plain the progress society has
made i'm this way.
Noblemen used to be allowed by
law to desport themselves by shoot
ing workmen on tall buildings just to
see them fall. After a time the people
saw wrong in this and passed a law
that the mobiles must content them
selves with one workman a day. And
finally it was not allowed by law at
an. OF course, considering what the
corporations do to them today the
progress is mighty small-but prog
ress. none the less.
Tn the early stages of society men
came together for mutual defense and
aggression. the strongest taking the

The following is published by re
quest of the Hungarian socialist feder-
atom
"The Hungarian socialist federation
started last November a daily paper
called "Elore." This paper is pub
lished in the city of New York, by the
'Elore" publishing association,
THE above paper does in good
worg amongst the Hungarian working
people in this country. But it has not
the necessary circulation now for self
support As the comrades know, 1t Is
a hard thing for a new socialist paper
to get along at first without funds
"Above mentioned paper was started
by a few Hungarian comrades in the
city of New York. The printing plant
is worth over $4,000 and this sum was
brought together by Hungarian So
sialists.
But, as you know, to run a modern
socialist daily paper nowadays, we
must give the people good reading
matter and also good daily news, to
get the necessary subscribers.
1--WE appeal therefore to the COM
rades to help us to make our paper a
good weapon against the Hungarian
capitalistic papers.
