Profit-sharing between owners
and employes wherever adopted has
proved of great benefit to all con
cerned. Men pecuniarily interested
in the success of their employers
do not strike, are more deligent,
more saving and economical in the
use of materials, more careful in the
use of tools and machinery. The
In?ersoll Serneant Drill Co.. of New j
, , . , , -in- . I
xorK, wnicn auopieu mis system
several years ago, recently paid a
dividend of $6,000 to the employes
in its shops and offices, a larger sum
than heretofore because of the con
siderable increase of its business
during 1890. When this plan is gen
erally adopted, labor agitators will
be compelled to work like their fel
low craftsmen, for their present pro
fitable vocation will be useless.
Judgement
should be displayed in buying medi
cine above all things. In selecting
remedy for any disease, you should be
positive that it contains nothing inju
rious to the health. Many remedies
on the market leave tho patient in a
much worse condition, than before
taking them.

THE FEIIKKAL CENSUS.
The statistics of scholastic popu
lation taken in the different States
of the "Union, says Boger Q. Mills
in the April Forum, show that the
census of 1890 is not correct. The
children of school age are enumer
ated by officers appointed under the
authority of the State authority of
the State governments. Their num
ber is annually reported at Wash
ington, and from the rate of annual
increase of those within given ages
the total population of each State
can be closely calculated. I am in
formed by the Commissioner of
Education that there were in Texas
inlSSO, 311,567 children between the
ages of S and 1G years; that the
children between those ages in
creased between 1880 and 1890 at
the rate of S6.4 per cent., and that
the population of the State in 1890,
if the whole increased in the same
ratio, should hayo been 2,966,000.
The census gives us 2,235,513. Here
is a loss of about 700,000.
Thnrber coal mines now pay
out monthly to employes over $30,
