have no doubt. and it can be done on
lines Of regulation which need be no
less acceptable to the people and gov
eminent of the nation at large, whose
heritage these resources are. We must
bend our counsels to this end. A COM
mon purpose ought to make agree

Three or four matters Of special i'm.
portance and significance beg that
you will permit me to mention in
closing.
Our bureau Of mines ought to be
equipped and empowered to render
even more effectual service than 1t
renders now in improving the condi-
lions OF mine labor and making the
mines more economically productive
as we'll as more safe. This is an all
important part of the work OF conser-
walton: and the conservation Of human
life and energy lies even nearer to our
interest than the preservation from
waste Of our material resources.

that we can stand by in this matter
will be no less to the advantage OF
those who administer the railroads OF

The idea Of title page did not oc-
cur to the early printers. THE books
started straight off with Incipit' or

reports: 1T has become evident from
experience that employment offices are
necessary institutions in every indus
trial community. When operated as a
unified system throughout the state
they serve as clearing houses for the
labor market, bringing together men
and jobs with the least loss of time
and earnings. Just as every great in

nent office to see that all its depart

and that men are not standing around

people to opportunities for employment
and to see that some industries are not

amply demonstrated. In Milwaukee,

the state, the waiting room of the free

be found there almost every morning,

contractors, railroads, lumber compa-

in all parts Of the state to send pilots

Agree to Arbitrate.
Employers and workers in the build
ing trades have signed an unusual
agreement, which, it is hoped, will
prove permanent remedy for the
strikes which have frequently held up
important construction work
1t will be Il violation of this agree
ment which has been drawn up, for
the union men to call a strike or the
employers to declare lockout without
first comforting with a joint commit
tee. The unions and employers viii

The decision is of most value to the
building public because it removes the
possibility of tieups on future con-
tracts and the resulting losses. 1t re-
moves the petty tieups which have re-

SPRUCE UP, OLD MEN.
Cultivate Neatness and Maintain .
Youthful Spirit.


Neatness. bathing and massage are
recommended to men past middle age
who would avoid manifestations of de
cline. Dr. L. Nascher of Boston
writes in the New York Medical. Jour
nal.
The Improvement in the general ap-
pearance has profound psychic in
fiuence. not only directly through the
stimulation of the sense of pride in ap-
pearance but indirectly through the
1attering comments which it arouses.
This important measure is generally
neglected by men, yet aside from the
beneficial psychic influence. for aesthe-
tic reasons alone the old man should
endeavor to make himself appear as
attractive as possible.
"This does not mean that he should
resort to the artificial devices that
middle aged and elderly women en-
ploy to enhance their charms. 1t does
mean that he old man should stimulate
the surface circulation by means of
baths and massage. remove wrinkles
and folds by Injunction with animal
fats, try to stimulate the growth of
hair on the head and remove hair from
abnormal situations as the ears. use
cane and wear braces TO overcome the
tendency to stoop, employ harmless
cosmetic measures to improve his ap-
pearance. and above all, observe a
sense of neatness in dress.

MASTER AND SLAVE.
Was Industry Made For Man, or Was
Man Made For Industry?

Man Made For Industry?
If man is made for industry. then it
is Just that industry should be the mas
ter and man the slave. 1t is just that
100000 men and women should be
killed and injured annually while they
minister to the Industrial deity; 1t is
fair that women toll long hours for a
pittance; it Is right that humanity
writhe in~agony under the goad of the
industrial taskmaster.
If on the other hand. industry was
made for man. then it is just that man
should be the master and industry the
slave. 1t is fair that any calling which
crushes mems bodies. destroys the
souls of women and little children or
takes toll of life and JOY greater than
its contribution to the happiness of the
community should be reformed or abol-
fShed
Two thousand years ago Jesus re-
buked the Pharisees and justified his
disciples. who had picked corn on the
Sabbath day. in these words: The
Sabbath was made for man. and not
man for the Sabbath" The world lis

proclaim, Industry was made for man,
and not man for industry. Scott

WATCH FOR THIS ECLIPSE.
IL Will Come In 1891 and Will Be a
Remarkable One.

For long distanee predicting Profes-
sor David Todd of Amherst has made
his mark. for he has expressed the
opinion that on July IL, 1891, on the
mountain peak of Popocatepetl or Ori-
zaba. in Mexico, there will be a great
gathering of astronomers and other
scientists, possibly greater gathering
than any one Of the sort ever taking
place before that time. He has deter
mined that on that date there will be
the finest eclipse of the sun ever known
since eclipses were first predicted with
certainty, and these peaks will be the
choicest grand stand seats for the per-
Torrance.
AS eclipses are the only opportunities
for studying certain qualities of the
sun and sunlight and as the energy
from the sun, which supports all life
on earth, is arousing more and more
study because of the possibilities for
human progress it offers, he feels GER
tain that in 1891 there will be even
more interest in eclipses than there is
at present.
~ fS0SOI w by II W III NC a
able eclipse is that it will be total for
Z minutes 10 seconds The longest
one ever known was minutes 20 sec
ondS. while the longest one that can
ever happen can only be minutes So
seconds
Another advantage is that the sun
will be directly overhead. so that there
will be the least possible amount of in
reference from the atmosphere. The
great interest in an eclipse is the CO.
roma. hoop of light that appears
when the moon entirely hides the sun.
1t Is from the corona that many of the
most important secrets of the sun have
been learned
Professor Todd has found that in the
next 300 years there will be nine total
eclipses of the sun visible in Mexico,
many Of them fine ones, though none
so valuable for study as that of 1891
