Profit In Hlqh Wages.

Wherever rubber grows, there in- iquity flourishes. Tropical fruits are made cheap because human life where they grow is cheap. The spirit of hu- manity Is just beginning to creep into the relations between those who have much and those who have little. But rare discovery has been made. Strange as it may seem, 1t has been proved by experiment that 1t pays to be reckless of expense when service is sought and rendered. That which has come to pass in the higher ranges of employment, where salaries have been increased tenfold and even more, is happening all along the line where labor and capital meet. Five dollars paid in wages to one competent man brings larger return than $5 paid to five incompetent men and women; and the larger wage brings the greater fit ness for the work. Better wages stir ambition and cause the horizon to ex- pand.-Christian Register.

Chimney Comparatively New.

The chimney is something that Is relatively new in architecture. Many of the old castles and other buildings of Europe which were constructed be- fore the fifteenth century have no chimneys. In some of them flue leads from the back and above the fire place through the wall to the outer air. It was somewhere about the thir- teenth century that in certain build. ings the masons began to run the fiue to the top of the building, but the chimneys of that period had openings in the side the top being roofed over. It was about the fifteenth century that masons began to build chimneys that extended above the roof of the house and to leave the top of the chimney uncovered.-Washington Star.
