hiniMam Wage Laws.

Minimum wage laws are at best
poor dcviscs for dealing with the
problem of low wages. 1t may be

state 10 step in and declare that the
wages paid in some instances are
lower than can be justiged under
proper standards ct living. But
this line OF attack is, after all, neg
atirc. 1t can prove beneficial only
in a small degree. Where workers
are poorly trained and consequently
incompetent, minimum wage laws
may operate to deprive them of en-
q! ymeut altogether and thus to
transform them MO Obj .c;s Of

Hay.feyer.

Although hay-feyer has long been
known aud studied by physicians,
its true cause and nature are still
matter for discussion. The uncer.
taInty regarding the disease is shown
by the variety of names it bears
June cold, rose cold, peach calarrh,
nervous catarrh, summer asthma,
ragweed fever, and many more.
Some regard it as purely neurotic-
sort of hysteria or neurasihenic
condition; others believe that it is
due to the presence of especially ir
ritable areas in the mucous mem,
brane of the nose, others again, and
perhaps the majority, regard 1t as
disease of the respiratory mucous
membranes, caused by the irritating
effect of the pollen of certain plants,
such as goldenrod or ragweed.
The ADVOCATES of the neurotic
theory poiRt 80 the fact that hay
fever often attacks its victims each
year on the same day of the month,
and even at the same hour of the
day.. whether pollen is present in
the air or not. Furthermore, the
early forms OF the disease called
June cold or rose cold-come be-
fore there can be any ragweed pei
len at all in the air.
As u usuahin most disputes, there
is probably some truth on each side.
There is clearly 1egrotic element
in most cases of hay fever; anG this
nervous condition causes the patient
to &c susceptible to the infection.
The irritable areas in the nose sup

Japanese Courtesy.

A country where courtesy is busi-

cation, reflects its popularity in the
most trifiing details OF conduct. Such
a country is Japan and such detail
recently came into notice when a city
electric bureau Of Tokyo asked the
patrons on its street car lines how
they preferred to be addressed when
it was necessary to urge them to
move up" Out Of the 2.719 sugges-
tons sent in the Independent selects
and translates six, az follows:
Those not getting OF. to the mid
die, pleased"
THE middle Is more comfortable!-
I'm sorry, but all move on by one
strap"
There's a pretty girl about the
middle Of the carl"
"A pickpocket has just come on
board!"
The municipal authorities frowned
somewhat upon the last three sugges-
tons, but the conductors will bs
taught to use some Of the other forms.
Is it possible that the Japanese hope
to enjoy an efficient traction service
on such terms? Apparently they hope
to, and we pass along the Japanese
idea as helpful hint to the gentle
men who jerk a gong on the hear OF

position employed by the musicians
Of his period. For instance, he made
the following rules to be followed by
operate composers: "All the prin-

different in character, as an adagio
aria, which must be very cantabile
to show of to good advantage the
voice and delivery Of the singer; in

her art in embellishing variations;
then there must be an allegro aria
with brilliant passages, a gallant aria.
a duet for the first male singer and
the prima donna. In these pieces the
big forms of measure must be used
SO as to give pathos to the tragedy;
the smaller forms Of time, such as
two-four and three-eight, are for the
secondary roles, and for these tenn
pa minuetto can be written. There
must be the necessary changes of
time, but minor keys must be avoided
in the theater, because they are too
mournful."
