The laws have disregarded too

The husbands' ,. wages are to be de

.It is safer in many places to neglect
your wif e and children than to take
a few dollars- from a bank. . , The law
hunts down the embezzler to Canada,
but the machinery of extradition can't
be started for mere non-support. It
may be said that a deserted wife can
go back to the comfort of her former

.THE;MOYE3IENT., OF ilPPLES
v FROM COLD STORAGE
Washington, Feb. 27: According to
Investigations conducted by the office
of markets, . United States X)epartment
of Agriculture, there' was an increase
in the movement of cold storage ap
ples ; during January ' asi f -compared
with T December. ; It is ..impossible to
give the total quantities-of . boxes and
barrels tn, storage on-i February- 1st, :
because many firms withhold infor
mation, as to their holdings. However,
it is thought that a sufficient number
are cooperating with .the office of
markets to warrant conclusions as to
the total movement . throughout the
country, "i. : ' . .-:'rJ: , (.v;
Basins' ' estimates upon- the returns
. from a .- large number-, of commercial
apple cold storages and granting t&e
conditions for this number are rep
resentative of the whole, it appears
(1) - that holdings on m eljruary - 1,
1916. were 28.4 per cent - greater than
on the same date two years ago; (2)
that i per cent of the total hold
ings have been moved stnoe Decem
ber 1st, the decrease' of barreled stock:
betng -28.4 per cent and boxes IT per
cent; S) that during January 17 per
cent of barreled apples and 10.6 per
cent, of ; boxed apples were taken out
of cold storage,- the total decrease on
the : basis of holdings, December 1st,
being. 16.6 per oent. ,
It was not thought that the demand
for cold storage . apples in - January
would, be-very much greater than in
December, owing to the fact, as point
ed out -in. a previous report,, that the
large supply of oommon storage stock,
together with Christmas . ' 'purchases,
would restrict the 1 movement of ap
ples from cold : storage --during last
month. .The attention of those inter
ested is called again to the fact that
practically all common ; storage ap-
pies, as a rule-, pass into consumption
.by the 1st of February. .". If this con-
dltion has been - true of the present
season, it is thought that the move
ment of oold storage apples will be
very large . during February ; and
March-, The . supply certainly is
bountiful and, as the result of low
' prices and a large demand, it is
thought the consumption during the
next few months will be sufficient to
exhaust the supply. 4 ''
The advisability' of ? moving - the
stocks as rapidly as possible is urged
upon growers and dealers so that the
unusually .large holdings, may dimin
ish sufficiently to prevent disaster in
-April or May. ' .
Our industries may be terribly up
set by the war, but as -long as the
baseball season will openjshorJljE the
country is sale. .
It is said the new styles make
every woman look -as If ' she ?were
eighteen. This will help convince the
registrars of voters ot the truth of
the- statements made in the suffrage
states. ;

HALF OP TFORKESS' WAGES
DTStrFBTtllENT COMPENSATION
Half of the workers wages is an
inadequate proportion fpr compensa
tion according to a report on the New ;
Jersey Compensation law which has
just been . Issued ' by the - American
Association for Labor Legislation.
The report attacks the New Jersey
system for having fixed the basis for
compensation too Mow.- Under- the
act the injured-worker is entitled to
only ; two weeks . medical attention
with a $50 maximum and to 50 per
cent of his wages. ; This, remarks the
report, ; is one of the lowest scales in
this" country. ' ' - ' . ' .' '
Recent laws tend to' fix compensa
tion On a more liberal scale. New
Torfc and Ohio started, with a 66 2-8
per cent scale.' , Massachusetts, after
two years" experience with ' 60 per
cent," recognized its inadequacy' and
raised it to 66 - 2-3 per cent, at the
same time very greatly extending the
period; of payments. In a dozen
states ' this year . active, legislation
campaigns fto establish compensation
on. a basis of 66 2-S per centt are in
progress.,- . '
Family life cannot be maintained
on $6 Or $ 6 a weekj and, this is all
that numbers of New Jersey families
are .entitled; to have during the dis4
ablement under the '.. existing law,
since, according to , a. report of the
New' Jersey Bureau ,of Labor Statis
tics of .1912, 48 per cent of all employees-
engaged ;. in manufacturing
received $10 ; or rless per week in
wages.; In consequence of i the low
scale of payment many injured work-children-
had been compelled to seek
charity. j
Compensation at a rate which does
not allow for-the continuance of fam
ily, life of the worker" defeats its own
efads,v the "worker , suffering depriva
tion and' hardship while .the cbmmu
nity is left to support the family
through one channel or another.
Medical Treatment - Important
Medical aid, it is ;urged, , should' be
determined by what is necessary - foy
the ; injured worker, in order that he
may return to his 'work as soon as
possible.- The limits set by the New
Jersey law are illogical and indefen
sible. If the worker should lose the
medical attendance needs at the end
of a fortnight, his prolonged disable
ment - is not only to his own injury
but is contrary to the interests of his
employer.:'-' - f'-':; ' -.
Strong' objection ' is raised to the
New Jersey system by "which a work
man is compelled to-accept the ser
vices ot the doctor selected ' by-i his
employer or to pay all his own medi'
calV expenses, j The existence , of a
board for the administration . of the
provision for : necesary ; medical aid
wouldA greatly improve the existing
system. ' "
Insurance for Compensation Necessary
The report strongly urges the pol
icy of compulsory insurance for com
pensation. ;- '- Compensation Breams
breaks Vdown completely when firms
which have not insured their workers
against; accident become bankrupt.
In a number of. cases in New Jersey
after favorable , settlement in' the
workers or their dependents, have not
received any compensation owing to
the failure of the firm from which
payments were due. . - ' . r
THE DEMON INTEIiLI- V
; j GENCE OF THE CROW
How close a crow is to the intelli
gence, of such an animal as the dog
has been attested on numerous occa
sions. I nce knew a pet crow many
years ago,, for: example, which belong
ed to a small boy on a farm. The
boy's grandfather lived a few hundred
yards aways and every ' morning of
the year the -crow Hew first to - tne
grandfather's house, waking that old
gentleman up' with almost clockwork
regularity - (he seldom varied more
than fifteen minutes, though the sun,
suDnosedlv his timepiece, varied
whole hours) , and then he returned
and roused his family.- . The rousing
process was simple. He perched on
a bedroom window-sill and cawed.
Sleep thereafter became impossible. If
you are fond of . sleeping late in the
morning, by the way, do not try to
keep a pet crow, or you may 'become
as profane as he. It was this same
crow which, greatly to . our ' delight
and the teacher's wrath, followed his
little master to school one morning,
pounced upon the school-house key
when the teacher dropped it, and, fly
ing to a low branch over her head,
sat there 'fori nearly half an hour, re
plying sarcastically to her threats. He
used to come to meet his master al
most every day when school was out,
again telling the time by some in
stinct as mysterious as - a - dog's and
either riding home on his master's
shoulder or else flying along ahead,
lighting on the fence-posts. It was
the same crowd, too, I recall, who
srot into the house, upset a bottle of
nk. Investigated the contents with his
Teet, and then walked on the toed-

in' the neighborhood that, - because of

spared. We youngsters looked with
a kind of awe upon a boy who could
put up such a case to his justly irate
parents. . Demosthenes,, seemed, toy

THE EARLY HISTORY OF OPIUM.
- The medicinal properties of poppy
juice, date from a remote period. Re
calling the highly developed culture
of the ancient 'Egyptians one is in
clined to - imagine , that the narcotic
properties of, opium were known rto
them; but the " investigations of
Unger . (1857) have failed to trace
any acquaintance : with opium in
Ancient Egypt, and Dr. Ember, of
the Semitic Department .' of John
Hopkins University, knows of ' - no
reference to.it in Egyptian literature.
According to some Hebrew scholars,
there is a reference to poppy juice in
the Bible. In several passages in the
Old Testamerit; the word-"rosh" is men
tioned. Professor Haupt Is convinc
ed that "rosh" means the poppy, and
so alsb is FrdYessor Post. In the
Talmud we , have . one. reference , to
opium, under the name "opinion," but
that word was clearly, borrowed from
Greek. In the . classical-, Hindoo : lit
erature there is found no reference to
it . From the, time of the Mogul Con
quest on there it appears Vs a , -word
"Khash-khash" which means poppy
seed, and "Kbash-khaeharasa, juice of
the poppy. In -this it is easy ,to rec
ognize our modern word, hashish; and
so it seems that at. that early, date
the narcotics opium '; and cannabis
indica. were confused with each , other
The original home of the poppy was
in Asia .. Minorl;-,' From - there it was(
carried to .Greece at a later period.
It is not at all ' certain - whether
Hippocrates was acquainted with the
juice of the -poppy. According to
Woottoni he refers to " a substance
called ;mecon - to -whtch he attributes
a purgative as "well'as narcotic action.
Some think that it was opium; others
believe that he 'was referring to an
other plant. In any case he made
but , very v little use of the drug. .The
first authentic reference to the milky
juice of the . poppy , we J: find : by
Theophrastus at- the beginning of the
third . century. B. C,: whero he speaks
of it as "meconlon.-' Scrib'onius Largus
in his "Compositiones Medi cam en -torum,",'
about "the year 40 of - the
present era," describes the method of
; procuring1- opium from "the capsules of
the i poppy, and ' about- the; year 77- of
the; same - century , Dioscorides makes
a distinction between the juice of the
capsules and the extract of tho whole
plant. He describes the method of
incising the capsules, and7 refers to
adulterations of the drug ;with the
milky juices of other , plants so that
it is evident that the collection- of
opium was quite an industry in Asia
Minor at that time. Plinky devotes
some space to a description of opium
and its medicinal use, and! the drug
is mentioned repeatedly by Celsus ln
the first century 'and by - numerous
Other Latin" writers. Galeri spoke" en
thusiastically of the virtues, of opium
confections, ' and the drug 'was soon
so popular in Rome that it fell into
the hands of shopkeepers and itiner
ant' quacks.- -:('';'-, ''.'''""';,:.'.':"'"
The introduction of the drug to the
natives of the east was through the
Arabs, and in the - first - instance to
Persia. Its introduction into India
seems to have been connected with
the spread of Mohammedanism.
The Arabic physicians used opium
very extensively, and even wrote spe
cial treatises on some of its prepara
tions. The earliest mention of opium
as a product of India is by , the
traveler Barbosa, in 1611. A Portu
guese historian. Pyres, in a letter to
Manuel, king, of Portugal, in 1616,
speaks of the opium of Egypt and
Bengal. " ..
Opium is supposed to have .been
brought to China first by the Arabs,
who are known to have traded with
the southern parts of the empire as
early as the ninth century. . Later,
says the Journal of the American
Medical Association, the Chinese be
gan to import the drug in their junks
from India., It was not before the
second half of he eighteenth century
that the importation of opium" began
to increase rapidly through the
hands of the Portuguese, and a lit
tle later through the. famous East
India Company. In 1770 the English
established an opium depot in Lark's
Bay, south of Mecabo, and the traffic
rapidly increased, so that-very soon
the Chinese authorities began to
complain, and in 1820 an edict was
issued forbidding any vessel having
opium on board to enter the Canton
river. , .A system ..of -. contraband fol
io wed," then political friction between
England and China, and the so-called
Opium War. i-which culminated in the
Treaty of Nanking (1842) by .which
five ports "of China were opened - to
foreign trade, and in 1858 opium was
admitted as a legal article of corn-
merce. - By that time the vice

became so deeply rooted that, in spite
of innumerable edicts and- decrees,
all efforts to check its growth have
been powerless., ." -, .
MARKS IN WOOD RECORD .
HEAVY WIND STORMS.
Little diagonal streaks or wrinkles
across the grain of a. piece of timber
not only 'betray weakness, but some
times .indicate periods of stress
through which the wood passed when
it . was growing.:; They may even be
taken as a sort of check on the ofH
cial" record of wind storms, as in the
case of some lumber tested at the
forest service laboratory at Madison,
Wisconsin, y .. ?;"'' "V"
: The marks are caused by what are
called "compressioU failures," which
occur - when the fibers - bend ; or
buckle, under a too heavy strain. In
cutting up logs collected for-expert
ments at the laboratory, it was no
ticed that these compression failures
appeared on the north side of
number .of trees .which came from th
same locality; In Florida. By count
ing the annual rings of the wood and
from knowledge of the time when it
was cut in the forest, it was decided
that 'the compression failures must
have, been caused by a severe wind
from i the south about the year 1898.
Inquiries were made in- Florida and
it was found that a hurricane had, in
fact," swept over? the region at the
time indicated f . ,
The experiments haver determined
that the strength of , a piece: of wood
may ' be seriously Impaired by slight
compression failures due. to rough
handling. ; Dropping a beam across a
skid may cause a compression failure
at . the point at which the . beam
strikes the skid and it will be at this
point that the beam gives way when
it breaks .under a strain too severe
for the weakened fibres to withstand.
Hitherto : unaccountable breakage in
hickory, wagon .spokes and other pre
sumably strong material , are now at
tributed to. . compression". ' failures
caused by wind storms in the period
of growth or ; by hard usage , in lum
bering and manufacturing . processes.
