Value Of Labor,

Labor is commodity to be bough'
ard sold notwithstanding the maudlir
criticism Of some theorists, writes C
w. Post In Leslie's. Labor Is not tn,
man himself. whom | consider a par,
OF the divine, but labor is his outpul
Just the same as wheat Is the outpu,
OF the farmer, and ID is a subject foi
purchase and sale, aud upon its quail
tty depends its demand and its value
There are two kinds OF labor, the one
manual and the other mental. When
the skilled workman possesses a train
ed mind which directs his hands, he
rises in value, and when he reaches a
plane where his mind Is so we'll train
ed that he in turn becomes a creator
and must needs devise and direct, he
then requires other hands to carry
out his Ideas. Then he again rises in
the plane OF value to humanity, and
his compensation must keep pace.

-INE OF NORTHERN BOUNDARY
Curious History Of United States Ter.
ritory That "OVerIaps" Into the
Dominion Of Canada.

How did the United States come to
get that small corner of land which
luts out from the extreme northern
/ boundary OF Minnesota? History Of
that little nose" which sticks out into
| Canada from Minnesota and which
constitutes the northernmost point Of
the United States Is very interesting.
Under the treaty OF 1888 boundary be-
tween the United States and British
possessions was fixed. A certain point
tually agreed TO as one starting point.
this being considered the headwaters
OF the ST. Lawrence river and Great
Lakes system. At that time II was not
known whether this point was north
or south OF the forty-ninth parallel,
but 1t was known to be close to 1t. The
understanding was that from that
point the boundary should 90 north or
south to the forty-ninth parallel as the
case might be. Later and more accu-
rate surveys showed that point was
about % miles north of the forty-ninth
parallel. and SO at this place the
boundary makes jog above that line.
Uncle Sam thus has a little piece OF
territory Of about 100 square miles in
extent north Of the general boundary.
And the joke of it is that any one has
to go by water in order to reach this
little piece Of territory unless he
wants to go through Canada-The
