The test that these immigrants must

Nor is il one based upon theoretical
knowledge only. During the years

In the last few years there has
arisen a movement. If such it may be
called, in this country for the i'm

the application of the doctrine of prac-

confined to any one geographical sec

That il has so very recently become

due no doubt to the fact that hitherto

Making Sponge. Grow.

Riscayne Bay, Sugarloak Key, Anct-

methods are a. follows: Seed sponges

They are then taken by tho hook,
when new cutting are attached. and

women's Wages In Utah.

from the sacramento Union.
Utah has set a good example to Call
fornia and other states by enacting a
law providing a minimum wage for
women. Right there, however, praise
of her action must cease. and in view
of the provisions of her law, even his
praise becomes SO faint as to be of tho
damning variety.
Note the age that the much-wived
men of Utah consider sufficient for
their women, as they have enacted
their theory into law.
In the first place. the minimum pay
Of women during their first year of SER
vice they place at rs cents a day. That
IS, If q woma works without either
holiday or day of sickness, she may at
the end of a yea hope to have been
paid $234.75, or $19.56 a month. OF
course, she cannot live on such a sum-.
blu 1t is u benign theory that she
will be young and will have parents to
support her. True, 1T not i~nfrequently
is the aSe that she neither is young
mol has parents to support her, but the
to comfort them.
II the woman or girl is so fortunate
as to have parents to help support her,
or in some unguessable way manages
to live through the first year, her mini
mum wage then and ever thereafter is
increased to $1.25 a day. That is, if
she again knows neither holiday nor
day Of sickness, she will at the end OF
arr of work days have been paid
$391.25, or $3.50 a month. OF course
1t Is -preposterous to suppos that a
working woman or girl would desire a
holiday, but 1t is a recognized fact that
they sometimes display so much bad
judgment as to get sick, and on this
account it is a safe estimate tina their
average monthly wage must be cut to
less that $50. We do not say
that a woman cannot live on this sum-,
but everybody knows that she cannot
live In American comfort on It, and ff
a minimum wage law does not guaran-
tee a woman worker simple comfort, it
is a cruel absurdity.
Utah's enacted law is a good one to
study for it's errors and outrages
against those whom 1t to
guard. If 1t is an Improvement on the
conditions that have there existed it Is
to be hoped that God helped the women
there In the past.

DRINK WATER, NOT
WINE, FOR SINGING
From the chicago Tribune.

1 you would sing. drink plenty of wa.
GER For that is the reason birds sing. is
the latest theory. =
People used to think that birds sing
Just becaus they were happy and because
tney didn't have anything better to do.
Now we are told that is not so; that II ia
water thai causes song. Watch a crowd
OF birds after q rainstorm. They drink
N sing and drink again; and the more
they drink the more melodious is their
song. The water l~ubricates their threats.
In the past gloomy Darwinians have
said that birds sing simply because those
With songs In their throats have survived
The singing male naturally attracts the
female, who does not herself sing. The
norl-singtng male is not to attractive. He
gets no mate, and his race ends with him
self. nA
But the Darwinians have not all the
truth on their side. Modern scientists
claim they have found a better cause In
the drinking of water.
And what Is true of birds is true of
men and women Races that live in damp
climates are always noted for their beau
tiful singing voices.
Wine and song have always been cIassed
together 1t has always been supposed
that wine stimulated to song, but a better
theory has arrived. It is not because wilma
Is q sttmulant that it produces song bTt
because 1t is a lubricant

petence, but because he was a rep,,b-
lcan, n a wanted the job.
The great hunorist was personally ac-
quainted at the White House, and he
decided to interfere. He did it in char
acteristic fashion. He wrote to little
Miss Ruth Cleveland, describing the
case, and saying: IT can't send n
message to the president, but the next
time you have a talk with him con-
corning such matters, I wish you would
tell him ABOUT Captain Mason and
what l think of a government that SO
treats its efficient officials
To which a reply was sent; a. reply
in a tiny envelope, postmarked Wash
ington, inclosing this note In President
fCleveland's handwriting:
Miss Ruth Cleveland begs to ac-
knowledge the receipt of Mr.. Twain's
letter n say that she took the lib
erty of reading It to the president, who
desires her to thank Mr.. Twain for his
Information, and to say that Captain
Frankfort consulate. The president
also desires Miss Cleveland to say that
IL Mr.. Twain knows Of any other cases
Of this kind he will be greatly obliged
II he will write him concerning them
at his earliest convenience.
May not we draw from 1t the con-
clusion that IL there were more Mark
Twains in the world-or more men Of
honor and integrity who were willing
to speak the right word at the right
time-there would be fewer cases OF
injustice on the part OF officials in
high position, who too often cannot
personally know the merits Of the
cases and causes in which their names
appear
