A scientific exchange says: "Prof. Ber- toelot, a oheimlst of Paris, Is now en gaged in Hhe wioirk of going back to natural foJds. He promises, as the re sult of txpeitmenlUs -now trnttking, to offer to the public the Chemical combinations which shall serve an substitute for the staple nourishments. His researches have been preceded by .those ot others who have produced essences ot beef, iter flbed milk, prepairtailiians of wtheat and malt," ami many dliher attempts to afford nutrition -without compelling the Btom&oh to became a laboratory, amd, in order to get o, small proportion of strength, consume a large wmoumt of refuse mat ter which servtB no beneficial purpose." Food Is one of the -worst enemies fcu manSlty (has. To eating may be ascribed most of the weaknesses, kUsteonpers and ills of mankind. 'Djtjp.paia has been the cause of more uuihupipiness, more brutal Hy, more (njustUce ttian all other physical fallings; and civilization has not been alls to limpness upon us toe lessons of ex perience. The human frame needs noumWhment, but no more so than the giant tree. The essential elements of recuperation are to be (found ton a natural state, end oil the artifices of ithe cook are only wretched e'ffopta to tempt a vitiated appetite. TV-halt a world of care, trouble, cost and palm iwould be saved by a return to sim ple diet! Main iwould lose Oils grossnesa, he would develop Oils mental, capacity and extend hi life if he could 6 brought to a condition where he iwould be content to live upon berries, cracked iwekt, eggs and milk. I'ne great foeneifaqtyr of ills race will toe t'ho mun who can put into homeopathic pills or tabkrjs enough of the nutritious eleimeinU of nuitune to Satisfy the dtimumt for a renewial of vital force. Then his iriind will be free ito think, un disturbed by giaatmlc fermentolUone. He can work and enjoy IhJmself, released from the heavy headache duie to over loading his stomach with half raiw bief or paite de 'fole gras, wli'tih thick dough and grease soaked pantry. Ho great a revolution should oome giadually, in or der that butchers and bakers, cooks and dldhwaslven, aind all the anmy tWat iwailts on Irian's uippetUte may educate them selves to other empioyimentis. Baiting as we xto is a habit. It has been golng on ifior itfiouHainkls of years, but the erRs of It continue. The fhuuuui system has changed its machinery to acoornrnodate changed circumstances. Physical strength does net oome from heavy eating. On the contrary the aim of the at'hlete lis Ho gat the maximum of nutrition iftrom .the minimum of con sumption. There are very few men, cer tainly very tfuw women, .who really enjoy gorging. Afloat iwMmen, IndVed, prefer a dish of lice cream to any other, and what, In Its Itrue condition could be more Impto, more free from ooarseineiss, and nutritious than ice orevunT It would not be aocoptiaUe as a steady diet, but it is only one of the many forms of aes thetic dining, Bind there lis a milllclenit variety of iwiholesoirie and simple foods to satisfy the most dainty and capricious. Dyspepsia is not tht only motive power behind Whs evil, we donlt iwunt to make a cuntenltlon of 'that kind for a moment. There would stilt b avarice, jealousy, tnvy and egctiidin left among us to keep us ifjvrn dying of inertia, but human Judgunenlt would be clearer and mercy less strained If the bruin mind heart were not so much subjedt to .the frailties of the stombch. . Experience of many years should have taught the cainnerymen of the Columbia river thWt the principle of private brands is a mistake, and a vicious interference with the legitimate trade. Of course the evil has existed fur a long while in many Knot of buMneas beetle the canning ot salmon. Every small country fumUhing store exhibits pants "made expressly for John William" or shoes "our own make Smith ss Co.," supplied by the carload from doxena of cheapjobn- fa:Lories, and bearing in print the name of the pur chaser as a fe-ath-.-r to tickle his vanity and make him renew ordev-s when the Urn comes. An order for five hundred cases of sail man fro.n any picayune Job ber In thw country Is, if so deisired, sent out from any o winery on the liver, wttti a label bearing on Its face not only the words "picked expreusiy for Debs, Jones Jk Co.," but any brand Ithat the iancy of he purchaser may o'aoosj Ho select. As a result ot this policy we are satisfied that mors ttfcm one oinmerymtn hat dur ing she last few years been compelled to And ftstw Trtarkots for Ms goodu tvery -son, eretWling not only the worry and boiiier of a itiu.ni ri fHctuatln loca tion for bis deHverles, but eonalderaUe xperae las rwoSl. These m.m aAer bivinc wth great deal ot labor bulU up naime and a steady tnalde In certain localities, hive fallen into tfhe private. label snare and have conitlnu'atfy- made concessions of this kind to facilitate sales. The result is that the packer's name has gradually become forgotten, mamy of (the men who1 tooiigWt from year to year salmon labeled with private brands lhave failed and retired from busl Dw, and (he cunner now has to build up new markets for sev.'rtU thousand cases of his stock. He is met with keen competition, and is exactly in the posl Uon of a new Brian Juet beginning opera' Hons, for in ejnilte of the fact that he lias 'been a salmon packer for ten, fifteen twenty yeura, as the case may be, no body remembers who Jve is. Such, a policy is sulcklal, and we think fbe cannery men shouCd be abCe to see tWa-t this is so We don't Maine the -wholesale grocers. If they can get the privilege of having first class goods packed under their own pri vate brands, mure power to thtm. Dut it is oerMn that ito allow such mCttuods to prevail! much Bomger will, before many more seasons, kill the identity of every oanneryirrtan on Wis river and bury under the private brands of a few thousand cheese and foutfter estabHshTnemts all the butataeas reinitiation they ever had. The logical effect tof Judge Bellinger's opinion la the Jurisdiction question is that no crime commlt'ted on 'the Columbia river, for which the statutes of the Mates of Oregon and Wai9hinglton happen to affix different degrees of puniahment, can be prosecuted except on the side of the river where th offense is committed. If this shlall stand us the liaw of the Colum bia river Jurisdiction, it can be readily Been that the detection and punishment of certain misdemeanors and minor fetonles must be attended by such extreme incon venlence amd expense tlhat it is doubtful if they Iwlll be foKolwed vp. All an of fender would have to do in cases where this different rule of punishment prevail ed, would be to imimedlutiely seek the op poslte shore of the river in order to evade the officers who might be In pursuit, and if he did not ultimately escape arrest al' together, . on his subsequent apprehen slknn in the atolt'e of his refuge, the other state would be obliged to resort to the tedious and technical process of extradi tion in order to get blim iaiSo Its posses- slon. It can be thus seen that it is not slmpfly a few saDmon fishers who are uf fected by Judgie Bellinger's remarkable decision, but all the law-abiding citizens of the whole states of Oregon and Wash ington. However Well satisfied ithe Wash. Ington authorities may toe over their tem porary victory, the officers of UWIis state Will be recreant to their oaths and pub lic ditty if 'they do not Insist upon a re view of the question, in the last legal tribunal open for Its determination. An Eaitiseirn paper reports that it is proposed to Import 'the operatic music of the oapOtal ito the presidential ear by mean's of the telephone, and the ex periment will Soon be tried. The best thllng about this audlphomlil connection is that you can listen or not, as you like, whereas In the operatic ehaanber you have no choice In the imiaitter. Not much Is known about 'the president's mu sical IncHniatlons, and Ithe higher and subtler passages jpf Unfit ant may be en tirely lodt upon Ihilm. In that case he can shut off the instrument isJt any Wta'e with out affront to the peintormers or In'ter ruption of the perfonmiamce. On the other hand, he may be aa sensitive to melo dious cademeis as wlas Saul of Israel, In which clise the apparatus imay breathe balm upon his spirit aa he reposes In his anmcihiailr after dinner, twinkling whnt a .m.iss he anil his party Wave made of the concarns df a great nation. Probably a bamjo judiciously imlinlpulaJted by Th.u bor dn tlhe nexit roio.m mrould shed as much tranquility upon him as the Whole oper atic rapentoire warbC.;d lalong tlhe wire. On Wills point, however, there Is no cer- tlalnty. He has been compelled to listen to a good d.al of extremely urypCeasant poflilitilcal music during the last year or two, and if there i's any other kind saitls fadtory to him he ta enitl'Ued to it. There 'Is now no further obstacle to the Immediate commencement of the railroad, and in view of the fact that Mr. Ham mond has more at stake than any other liidavldij'ail lntoreufed in the enterprise, it mlay be oasuniied thut the work will go on without cessation until lite Anal comple tion. -Mr. Haimunond ihaa been heard to remark frequently 'that the road could be conatruJ.ed anU equipped within one year after i't lis comunienceid, and considering the fact that there are no unusual en gineering dimcuMles 'to be overcome, It Is highly probable that he 4a right, and that the cars on J he Astoria and Gobie road will be , running Into this oKy by tlhe lat of July, im. Among all the greybeard's who may now be exipeuted In the reasonable course of human events to bo about telling what "I" did for the railroad, and how "it would never have been built if it hadn't been for ME," ft wants to be remembered that two young nun, Messrs. Thomas TruKinger and F. I Parker, are entitled to aa nuueb creUlt for bard, persistent and eoecB'ful Cialbor as any other wo in dividuals who have interested tlfotmselves t any time In the undnrtiaklng. WHY lMSdULTU BO UNEQUAL. In OC'tvber, 18)2, the tat month before the preulldleniaialt election which turned over iJ.be 4Uw makiing utd ex.-cutive pow er to we Democratic party, the nillln and furiiootii of Ithe couiiilry were fully em ployed, and hoimlto were getting the best wages, on the whole, i;hey have ever re ceived, Honie coimpe'ti'tlon wtas so vig orous Ithat it hod rudutied prices to con sumers in two yieara under tths Republic an airlff in ail iron taonU steel produces, for ina'tance 18 per cenlt., and yet the profttu In maniafacture were suttlclent to noou.uge rapid exteniBilon. of the produo ta foic. It iwtli not be denied that these were comdWIons in the highest degree fa vorable tor Uh. wUge-eurner. because promising a fuMier UeveHopmemt of the demand for lUloor to kkp twee with the liicreaae in pofnulkUon and In number of handU to t; eunployed. Nearly three years have passed, and, as all know, theue Wave riot been years of prosperity. The production has b.n greuiUy reduced, and now, after months of rpU tmprowmenit, siled by the ac cumulation of deferred work. Is not as Uogt, on Che witole, aa H was In lftt The wagex of many thounand hlanOs b ive been raifeed, peritupa more gnerui!y in Uis Iron .td 4 manufaotur and the supply of Its nuuteria's tCiua in other de parrmenti, and )Mt they are by no means up tt tr.e Uv.l of 1SD1 Three years of Increase In popuieticn have brought more bainds to be employed, and more mouths to be fed, but not more work, and ac tually less wogies. It is natural that results have been unequul tueoaure the change of duties has been unequal. In V'm cotjton manufac ture, as a whole, the reduction of duties was about a flKJh, 21.19 per cent.; In metal traduction, as a whole, about three. elghthls, or 37.97 per cent.; in silk goods, about an eighth, or 13.38 per cent., and In wooilens, over one-half, 60.5 per cent. Besides these extraordinary differences in the rates of duty reduction, there were differences even greaiter In, effect, because ad valorem duties wore In some classes substituted for specific undervalue atioa of imports. These exitreme lrregu rarities in Xie change of duties were not initelllgenitlly gradiuated 'to fit any real or supposed public need, but resulted from the greater or less suoceUs of the corrupt bartering by whiich the Mil of sale was fnanvd. While prices and wages were depressed beyond .t'.ie living point these unreason able Inequalities C'.ud comparatively lit tie influence.' The cost of producing most thlngis Uai betxt put down so far that such aa oould be produced at ell were not greatly affected by !n:lgn competition, But now entirely different conditions be. Bin. to appear. The cotlt of all sorts of materials has been rising. Wages of la bor tm many 'branches have been advanc ed, if not to tlhe level acnf 1892, far enough to gre'aiJly imcneaise 'the cost of produc tion. Now the quesltllon comes, in a great variety of Industrie', whether the output can continue at the present rate, or will be curtailed fend suppressed by foreign competition. But owing to Ithe absurd inequality ot recent Chlangks, In almost every Industrial department there are some form'j of tlhe manufacture which have to flight for very !tCe with the result In doubt, while others enjoy entire free dom from foreign compeltlition. Thi.B Is the explanaitlon of phenomena wwich ttkiglin tto latLract atiteintton, already. ana may appear with increasing fre quency. Even while some Iron works are advancing wages otheirs are forced to re dues wages or to eltop work, niakers of some loin eta of wool'lenis cam raise wages, wlU.le others have to face great strikes because tlhey caiainioit mi;elt foreign compe- Urwoin larod yet pay current prices for mt terliails and current wdKies for labor. As time passes, land the effects of foreign oompitutJan are Imore deflniitely known, chlaingels will be wUtmessed whlch can In no way be understood, except by bearing in mund . 'the rack that the new Demo, orotic tariff is destructive in general pur pose, but protective in spots, in conse quence of corrupt bargains or Ignorant riuimieirs. "FORE SHE WENT.
