In my present position rty- I could scarcely be justified were I to hat omit raising a warning voice against by the approach of returning despotism. It is not needed nor fitting here that vwo a general argument should be made in gu- favor of popular institutions, but there is one point with its connections, rd, and so hackneyed as most others, to mat which I ask a brief attention. It is, mt the efiort to place capital on an (quail ules footing with if not above labor in ihe 3113 structure of government. It is assumed 1-3,- that labor is available only in connec- tion with capital; that nobody labors unless somebody else, owning capital 9. somehow, by the use of it induces him for to labor. Labor is prior to and inde- he pendent of capital. Capital is only £8 the fruit of labor and could not have of existed 1f labor had not first existed. - ier Labor is the superior of capital and [es deserves much the higher consideration.

Vice-presidentVVickes of the Pulman 1 company deserves credit at all events l for being perfectlyfrank in his testimony before the national labor commission. \Vhen chairman W'right asked him if ' it would not be a good plan to increase ' the wages of men in prosperous years, 1 he demurred and said: “we go into ; the market for men just as we do for ' materials. It is all regulated by the law of supply and demand. we don’t recognize the men as members of unions, but as individuals. If they are not able to plead their own case, it is no misfortune.” The antique British myth that employers only are men and employes only things has seldom been put. Even the old Eng- lish economists never uttered it- with such native brutality. It implies, of course, that Mr. VVickes and those Who think like him buy their men as they buy their iron, their coal, their lumber or the other things that they buy, according to the law of supply and demand. There is no trace whatever‘,‘ of the fundamental truth of human ? brotherhood and its obligations. Mr. Wickes is a century behind the socioâ€" logical times.

The public tests demonstrated that there were limits beyond which cattle of the breeds named could not pass, and that the previous claims of ernrmous produc- tion could rightly be a, .lbted as due to error or improper management. We no longer have claims of 30 and 40 pounds of butter produced in one week from those breeds. A small greenhouse or hotbed will afford many luxuries in winter. In some sections tomatoes are printed in deep hotbeds. covered with glass in spring, the hotbeds being covered on the approach of cold weather. A few plants thus treated keep up a. late supply. The most difficult matter is to teach farmers to raise their heifer calves. They can never expect to have healthy herds until they do so. If they buy their cows they may bring disease in the herd unknowingly. It may require two or three years to raise a heifer calf, which appears to be a loss of time, but if the calf is sired by a thoroughbred sire, ot a choice breed, it will soon pay for itself and be a source of revenue for years. One good cow is worth two or three poor ones, and good ones can only be obtained by raising them or paying high prices for them. Cottonseed meal is not only an ex- cellent addition to the ration, but it is a fertilizer as well. It is better to use a. proportion of linseed meal with the co- tonseed meal, as the two combined are better than cottonseed meal alone. Fruit in City Marketsâ€"Cottonseed Meal â€"-Notes. The varieties of fruits and vegetables in the city markets are not always the best in quality, unless from near-by lo- calities. Those from a distance are grown with more regard to their keep- ing and shipping qualities than for flavor and sweetness. The watermelons ‘shipped from Georgia are of the Kolb’s Gem variety. which bears transporta- tion well. For home use the Georgians use a variety known as the Rattlesnake, which is of excellent quality and flavor, but cannot be sent a long journey to market. Th e Prime Minister of Madagascar. about whom there is much just now in the French papers. seems to be a very important person, for virtually he is the sovereign of the island. Ranavalona III, is, of course, Queen of Madagascar in name, but as by the law of the coun- try, tho. prime minister must be her husband, the Premier Rainilaiarivony is in point of fact king. He is about 65 years of age, while Queen Ranavalona is 33. She was married to him in 1893 ; but as Rainilaiarivony has held the supreme power for over 30 vears. he was the husband of Rasokerina and Ranavalona II., the present Queen ‘8 predecessors. Rana- valona. III. appears to be an aceommo- ; dating lady, enjoying life in her own : way. She spight, however, be a little more respe ful to her husband and Premier on‘ e great annual festival, on which the Prime Minister gives an account in public of his stewardship to the people. Dr. Louis Catat, who was present on one of these occasions, re- cords that Queen Ranavalona sat en- throned in a large velvet-padded arm- chair, chewing tobacco, spitting‘, and looking very bored during the progress of the Premier’s speech. To illustrate, take a grouped consti- r tueucy returning seven members uh- I der the Hare-Spence system of pro- portional representation, and assume that the voting strength of the Conser- vative party was ample to return three out of the seven members. Suppose that the Conservatives could not agree on three candidates, and that five Con- servative candidates went to the polls, what would be the result? Simply that three Conservatives would get in any how. The party representation would not be lessened by the increased number of candidates, and the Con- servative voter would have the most ‘valuable power of an effective choice ‘between Conservative and ConserVa- tive. The same thing would be true of all other parties strong enough to be represented. The people would really have the power of nomination as well of election. Any student of political science knows what that 111911113. All this would be changed usder Proportional Representation on the preferential plan. There uould be the utmost freedom oi nomination. The only restriction would be that a cer- tain suitable number of electors must endorse a. candidate in writing before he could be placed on the official ballot. Party splits would be rendered harm- less, and would be merely a. friendly contest to get the best man, involving no loss of representation. “unions or party workers; and these conventions usually register the de- cisions of some small preliminary cau- cus. Candidates are not selected be- cause of their representative ability and fitness, but for their mere cam- paign qualities.

She is very expert on long cushion fol- lows and around the table shots, but is not much of a. rail player. When living- in New York she hada table in her house and played an hour or two ovmgv day.

More elabor- ate ones are richly carved, the sides in- laid with different colored mosaics. For private houses a table 4x8 feet is used, requiring a room about 14x17 feet : the floor, it carpeted at all, should be cover- ed with some thick, soft material. From 15 to 19 ounces is a fair weight fora cue. according- to the balls now used. To the young woman, naturally en- tliusiastie and exuberant, nothing pre- sents a better way of getting a little fun and excitement than a game of billiards, with congenial friends. Billiards and pool were never so popu- lar as at present, particularly the latter game. and “pool parties,” with delight- ful prizes for fine playing; will be one oi the features ofNew York society this winter. A C110, prettily inlaid and marked with the date of the entertainment, is one of the favorite prizes. Mrs. W. K. Vmuierhilt gave a party to a few in- timate friends last winter, at which both billiards and pool were played. The first prize was a cue which cost in the neighborhood of $100. It was inlaid with motherâ€"of-pearl in a very elaborâ€" nt‘ manner with several woods intro- duced, rosewood among others, and was ripped with ivory. ‘ I. 4‘7 “-vlvl A pleasant and easy means of ing and retaining health is to it a billifil‘d table into one’s housu exel'CISe and recreation are t sured, whatever the state Weather.
