NOTES ANDCOMMENTsS A new source of discontent is coming to the front in England. It is the middle class. Until recently the salaried man, the professional of moderate means, the clerk who wears a white collar at his work, maintained strict privacy with reâ€" gard to their economic standing. They kept their worries and proâ€" blems of how to make ends meet to themselves. They thought it too vulgar to air their wants and finanâ€" cial stringencies in public. But the ice has been broken, and toâ€"day the "‘middle class burdens‘‘ form a daily topic for editorials in most of the English newspapers. There bhas been a tendency in reâ€" cent years on the part of the more earnest students of soctal proâ€" blems of the age to trace many of Wur present day ills to biologic origins and causes. The principles upon the lawboring masses in inâ€" creased taxes, they assert. There is a good deal of truth in this chargo. The burdens of the middl!e class are becoming heavier and heavier. Still the proper way to lighten middle class busdens is not by overloading the working masses, Wur present day ills to hiologlic origins and causes,. The principles of eugenics aro, to some extent, the product of this tendency, As the delving into the origin of many of the social problems continues, it seems likely that the science of ‘‘the marriage of the feeble mindâ€" ed, who are more prolific than others, is at the root of half the social problems." In other words, the scientist fully agrees with the theory that oneâ€"fourth of the crimâ€" inals which now fill our jails are not criminals, but feebleâ€"minded personsâ€"defectives. A British authority on the subâ€" jeet of heredity, after years of exâ€" perimenting and study, announces that feeble mindedness is positiveâ€" ly and invariably transmitted !rom! parents to children. Tho scientist! goes even further and asserts that! in the fact that the government lends its aid to the workers only by increasing the burdens of the midâ€" dle class. The middle class man, who is fully as badly off as the toiler, is paying for the benefits which the government is heaping & cure ments The manual laborer in England, champions of the middle class point out, is fairly well protected against unemployment by governâ€" ment insurance. . Insurance alsor protects him in sickness. When he gets old a pension awaits him. The government has become a party, as it were, to the domestic problems of the manual laborer. It helps| him meet all stringencies. ! of marriage and procreation of the degenerate and the feebleâ€"minded. The substance of the middle class plaint is this: The high cost of livâ€" ing affects the middle class man fully as much as it does the laborâ€" er. Employment is not any steadâ€" ler in the occupations filled by men from the middle classes than it is among manual laborers. The proâ€" blem of providing for old age is universal. Each and all of these problems, however, the middle class man has more difficulty in meeting than the laborer, because he enjoys none of the advantages enjoyed by the working masses. The irony of the whole situation, according to British newapapers, is The advocates of eugenics may not be on safe ground when they suggest positive ways for improving the race. But they cannot be far in the wrong on the negative side when they advocate the prevention Illunminated Fish. A new species having the appearâ€" ance of an electrically lighted ferry boat, has been secured in the Ausâ€" tralian Bight at the great depth of %,100 feet. This curlous fish, which has fiftyâ€"three brilliant light organs on elther side of its body, which itself shines like a mirror, has been named the tudor. It was bhauled to the surâ€" face by a trawler and will be placed on exhibition at the Australian Muâ€" seum at Sydney, N.S., Wales. More than a hundred other entirely new varteties were obtained, all the speciâ€" mena â€" inhabiting these submarine depths being more or less luminous.

Too many persons think that beâ€" ing comfortable and being just a little too warm are synonymous. They pride themselves on their care of their children, and yet they force them to endure an artiâ€" firial temperature of seventy-five degrees, or even more, That is litâ€" tle leoss than cruelty, One thing more: the temperature should not he a matter of discussion or disâ€" agreement ; always _ regulata it strictly by _ the thermometes.â€" Youth‘s Companion,. It is certainly true that overheatâ€" ed rooms are at the bottom of a great deal of the trouble. Many persons prefer to live in rooms that are like a stokeshold from October to May, Othersâ€"being adultsâ€" can open the windows and shut off the heat whonever they feel the disâ€" comfort in the nose and throat that warns them of coming trowble. But little children can only accept the air that is thrust upon them. The value of fresh air is so well underâ€" stood now that most people keep their children outdoors much of the time. If they would only learn that they often undo all the good that outdoor play does by the heat and dryness of their living and sleepingâ€" rooms, there would be a great deal less sickness. Artificial Heat and Throat Troubles. When doctors talk about the ‘‘nasopharyngeal â€" system,‘‘ _ they mean the entire mucous membrane that lines the nose and throat, all of which must be in a healthy conâ€" dition if you wish to avoid the long list of ailments that begins with the common "cold,"‘ and ends with twberculosis, and includes tonsiliâ€" tis, influenza, croup, diphtheria, and last, but not least, adenoids. In young children the passages of the nose and throat are very small and very sensitive, and they reâ€" spond to every change in the child‘s physical condition. When a disâ€" ease germ attacks a sensitive muâ€" cous membrane, the membrane beâ€" comes inflamed and swollen. The immediate result is that the child cannot get breath enough to live on through the nasal paseages and beâ€" gins to breathe through the mouth. If this happens only occasionally the inflammation soon subsides, and the mouthâ€"breathing stops. But if one cold succeeds another, as is the case with many children in the winter months, the mucous memâ€" brane gradually becomes permanâ€" ently thickened, there is an overâ€" growth of tissue in the nasal passâ€" ages, and the child has adenoids.

We all know that not for half a cenâ€" tury at least have the conditions, under which it is open to organized labor to improve its lot by means of trade union action, been so fayâ€" orable as in the past three years. Trade has boomed in unprecedentâ€" ed fashion. _ Unemployment has reached a record in reduction. And, while work has been plentiful for the workers, the profits of the emâ€" ployers have also been unusually high, so that substantial increases in the lot of the workers might reasonably have been looked for. Instead of which, at the end of three years of almost unexampled industrial prosperity, we find emâ€" ployers and employed alike in an uglier frame of mind than has maniâ€" fested itself even in the worst periâ€" ods of trade depression during the last fifty years. New and Wild Methods. It is impossible to say that cither the masters or the men are solely responsible for this lamentable state of things. The latter have adopted methods which seem to so ardent a trade unionist as Mr. Bnowden, M.P., to be "wild"â€" methods which, however, are in conformity with the revolutionazy & otrines of Jim Larkin and Ben Tillet, Indeed, these two men now seem to exerciss a more powerful influence over the masses of the workers than do any of the more offlcial trade union leaders, Their policy is ons of militancyâ€"ths “symimthetio strike," the "downâ€" ing of tools"! at a momeni{‘s notice, And Mr, Snowden "goas for‘"‘ this policy of militancy in no measured terms, insisting that it will ruia the trade union movement if it be not subdued. ‘‘The new policy," he says, ‘""is to enter upon a strike without any effort to obtain a settlement of the grievances by negotiation, to exasâ€" perate the employers by every posâ€" sible means, to indulge in wild aad sanguinary languageâ€"which makes it impossible for a selfâ€"respecting employer to meet such leaders of the menâ€"and to endeavor to cause as much public inconvenience â€" as possible, by involving the services upon which the public needs and convenience depend.‘" Now, comâ€" ing from one who has the cause of labor as deeply at heart as Mr. Snowden, this is a fairly stern inâ€" dictment of _ the "sympathetic strike," Moreover, Mr. Snowden does not shrink from avowing his belief that the ‘"sympathetic strike‘‘ policy is one that is doomed to failure. The general strike, he holds, can never result in success for the men. "In a great strike every additional body of men who leave their work are helping to make . defeat of the others more speedy and certain.‘" There are certain high authorities, besides Mr. Snowden, who take this view of the ‘"sympathetic strike."" Indeed, it is known that the employers, for the very reason which he assigns, regard this parâ€" ticular weapon in the men‘s arâ€" mory with comparative equanimity. That labor undoubtedly â€"suffers grievous wrongs, but that there is a right way and a wrong way of trying to remedy them, is his conâ€" tention. _ And, without hesitation, he places what has become known as ‘"‘Larkinism‘"‘ in the latter cateâ€" gory. _ Furthermore, there is a manifest show of reason in one point which he takesâ€"a point, too, which has an additional bearing on the soâ€"called failure of the British labor party in Parliameat _ to It is impossible to view witho>ut disquiet the very serious state of affairs prevailing throughout the industrial world in the British Isles. In practically every indusâ€" tryâ€"particularly in the transport industries which are of such enormâ€" ous concern in the lives of the genâ€" eral publicâ€"the most dsepâ€"seated unrest is to be noted. And one canâ€" not shut one‘s eyes to the extreme probability that things will beâ€" come very much worse before they get very much better. On the side of the employers, as well as of the employed, the utmost bitterness is being manifested. And it really looks as though neither side will long be satisfied without a "fight to the finish‘‘ on a colossal scaleâ€"a fight which is certain to mean apâ€" palling inconvenience, and sufferâ€" ing, and expense to the general public, on whichever side victory may ultimately rest. $ achieve anything substantial, in the way of legislation, for its cause. ‘"This policy,"" he says, ‘"by largely monopolizing trade union activity within the last two years, has prevented trade unionism from taking advantage of the exiremely favorawble conditions of the labor market." TERRIBLE INDUSTRIAL WAR But if Jim Larkin may be said to typify in himself the bitterness of the men, no less does his redoubtâ€" able opponent, Bill Murphy, typify in himself the bitterness of the masâ€" ters. These latter are showing a lack of conciliatoriness, and (in many cases) & lack of tact, which have done a good deal to aggravate the situation. And they have been at no pains to conceal the fact that if the men want a fight, they are in no mood .to make terms. The ‘United Kingdom Employers‘ Deâ€" fence Union‘‘ has, no doubt, been formed as their answer to what they daeom the challenge of the men. Khis union has (ironically enough) THIS IS A GREAT POSSIBILUITY IN GREAT BRITAIN. Philin Snowdon Declares the Wild Militant Methods of Workers Doomed to Failure. It Does Not Pay. Bitter Employers. Book agents have become such a nuisance that most business men give orders that they are not to be admitted to their private offices. (One persisteat man, however, by one pretext or another, gained inâ€" ferviews with the various influenâ€" tial citizens. He reached the head office of the Bank of Toronto, and when the clerk was engaged, he walked into the office of the presiâ€" dent, Mr. Duncan Coulson. _ Mr. The real crux of the industrial situationâ€"always present, but genâ€" erally overlooked by both employâ€" ers and employedâ€"is, and must alâ€" ways be (and again we quote Mr. Snowden), that "the public have interests quite as big and importâ€" ant as those of the other two parties.‘‘ In a word, the public must always be a third party in every big labor dispute. At the last Trade Union Congress, it was proâ€" posed (but the proposal was deâ€" feated) to give legal effect to vo!â€" untary agreements arrived at beâ€" twixt masters and men,. This proâ€" posal Mr. Snowden rightly deems "outrageous,‘‘ since it would have givcn power to a selfâ€"constituted ody of individuals to put up wages (and also, we may add, the cost of living) without any consideration for the general public, which, in the long run, pays §0 large a share. The only real remedyâ€"though both emâ€" ployers and employed are, at preâ€" sent, averse from itâ€"is compulsory State arbitration in labor disputes. Can â€" any impartial â€" observer doubt the inexpediency of this parâ€" ticular move at this particular moâ€" ment? Can he doubt that it is calâ€" iculuedâ€"llmost. one would think, designedly â€" calculatedâ€"to aggraâ€" vate, rather than to allay, the fever of industrial unrest now raging in the United Kingdom! But it has certainly succeeded in enrolling members who have one common bond. They comprise men on both sides of politics, and adherents to many creeds, but they are alike in thisâ€"they are employers. In their own words, they "seek to consoliâ€" date the resources of the employâ€" ers of labor in the United Kingâ€" dom, and to maintain their rights and their freedom to bargain indiâ€" vidually with free workers or colâ€" lectively with trade unions.‘‘ Think of the Public. The purpose of this organization is, certainly, expressed in excellent English. But "soft words butter no parsnips.‘‘ Nobody, who fully realizes the magnitude of commerâ€" cial operations in Great Britain, is likely to suppose that two hundred and fifty million dollars is anything but a bagatelle, so to speak, comâ€" pared with the total capital emâ€" barked in British trade. But, will it seem a mere bagatelle to the workers to oppose whose demands it is to be used, in case of need ? As even the London Times pertinently remarks: ‘"‘They will look upon it, with considerable justification, as the warâ€"chest of their employers. They will not believe that this vast sum of money is only to be used for the purpose of defence.‘* They cerâ€" tainly will not unless they are utter fools. Already the "warâ€"chest‘‘ has had the effect of inspiring British workingmen, many of them themâ€" selves out on strike, to send ships filled with food to those in Dublin who are in worse plight. Coulson was earnestly engaged in conversation _ with _ a _ business friend, but stopped and asked the man his business. He was agent for a series of religious books, and when Mr. Coulson told him his library was already well filled, the agent persisted in exploiting the merits of his wares and, thinking he might at some future time make a sale, asked if he inight leave some tracts. ‘‘Yes,"" replied Mr. Coulâ€" son, ""with the toes towards the door." ‘We‘re not going to have much of a wedding.

"TRACTS" TOWARDS DOOR. Mr. Duncan Coulson. The Tactless One. Fact. TORONTO An Exciting Time in a Singapore Hotel.

Although there is no danger toâ€"day that tigers will spring upon unwary travelers about Singaâ€" pore, write Mes@rs. Arnold Wright and This is what one little boy did. George‘s mother is very fond of plants, and when she needed to tie a plant to a stick because its stalk was not strong enough to hold it up straight she used to to the woodâ€"shed and get an ofi shingle and split a bit off a piece with the carvingâ€"knife, This gave George his idea. He got a piece of soft wood and split it carefully into slender sticks some a foot long, some longer, and a few very long for tall plants. Then his patient little fingers rubâ€" bed each stick with sandâ€"paper unâ€" til every splinter was gone and the stick as smooth as glass. All through the year his mother said that no present she had was more useful nor gave her greater pleasure than her plant sticks, But Tom will be happy, no matter how small his apple is. He always gives the othors a fair chance at the barrel ; and the boys are glad when Tom gets a big apple. They know he gets it fairly, and he will be saying to some boy who has noneâ€" “lgito bigger, Billy |" Do you know that grown men sometimes quarrel over their apâ€" ples? (Perhaps you have heard your father talk about "big busiâ€" ness.‘‘ That‘s a man‘s big apple.) Men‘s apples are never all of a size, though some people say they ought to be. But you and I know that apples don‘t grow that way. A man isn‘t a bad man just beâ€" cause he has a big apple; and a small apple needn‘t make a man unhappy. When there‘s trouble the fault isn‘t with the apples. Is there some little boy who wants to make a gift for his mother 1 With his jackâ€"knife he sharpened one end to a long point, so that it would go into the ground easily, and rounded off all the corners the whole length of the stick as well as he could with his knifée. T. H. Reid in "The Malay Peninsula," there is a certain excitement about lving in a place where the following incident occurred, and where its repeâ€" tition is not impossible. It is now several years since a tiger was shot within the precinets of the town. The honor of this particular kill belong to Mr. C. M. Phillips, the head master of Raffles Institution. The tiger had not swum the straits from Johore, but had escaped from a cage in which it was awaiting shipmont from Singapore. It caused consternaâ€" tion by walking into the compound of Raffies Motel, and seeking rofuge unâ€" der the billlardâ€"room in a detached building. have found that it works, When they were all done George sorted the sticks into three little bundles, according to their length, wrapped each bundle in white tisâ€" sueâ€"paper, and tied a bright ribbon round it. The peninsula in its wilder parts, indeed, is a veritable paradise for big game. In its vast, wideâ€"spreading forâ€" ests range many noble species that are worthy of the skill of the keenest of hunters. The annual report of the railway department for 1906 contained 2 photographic reproduction of a scene that quite amusingly illustrated the perils that await the railway ploneer whon he intrudes into the domain of wild nature. The picture reveals a wrecked railwayâ€"train, a locomotive completely off the rails, its tender reâ€" duced to scrapâ€"iron, and its wheels off to one elde, buried deeply in the dirt.

It has b The billiardâ€"players at once made a hurried exit. Mr. Phillips having been summoned, took post a few _ yards from the uninvited guest, whose eyes he could see shining in the darkness of its hidingâ€"place, and was lucky to kill it. The difference was in the boys, you see, more than in the apples. A selfish boy will get all he can and keep all he gets, and if he can help it he will give the other boys no fair chance at the barrel. He is always unhappy. The more he gets the more he wants. And he is sure to have trouble with the other boys. At recess a boy who had no apâ€" ple, big or little, was very hungry when he saw the two eating theirs. It made his mouth water! He askâ€" ed John to give him a biteâ€"‘"just a bite,‘"‘ he said. And when John said no he begged for the ‘"core." But John saidâ€"‘"There isn‘t going to be any core.‘‘ Then Billy asked Tom for a bite. And when I‘;e had modestly taken a small one Tom saidâ€"‘"‘Bite bigger, Billy! bite bigger !"‘ The Boys and the Apples. Two apples went to school one day, one in John‘s pooket, the other in Tom‘s lunch basket. John‘s was a big rosy one, â€"»while Tom‘s was smaller, and not so handsome. That was not strange, for God doesn‘t make all apples grow of the same size, and they are not painted all alike. And God‘s plan must be A good plan.
