C'rrl'.d PIOE11 Is Causing a Stit-•-Ale
ter 1VageS Should Always".
British employers and workers
have net yet got. over the shock
created by the announcement of the
new scale sof Wages to be. paid by
Henry Ford to his workmen,
It has niack the bi 'London firms
.ask ]themselves, .:1Vliat• is the secret
in .a large business of maintaining
f t iendly relations between employer
and;;employed ? '
According to James Pascal, at big
enlplt,yer in the British ta,}vital, the
answer is quite simple. It lies in
the ehoiee of foremen. A good em-
ploye, if he is wise and just, will
select his foreman with an eye to
their moral fitness for the command
Of hien. Much of the trouble in the
labor world, although you may not
read about it in the newspapers,
can be traced back to the bullying
manner, or the distin•et tyranny of
'individual foremen ; far mors injus-
tice is .perpetrated by these non-
commissioned officers of commerce
than. the world ever hear*. about. A
'bac;-tempered foreman . -creates an
'evil ;spirit.
I'ersonaI Responsibility.
t
"11•Iv foremen are my representa-
tives.. They distribute the feeling
• a f kindness which I wish to exist.
.And ill •cases of dispute every man
,and woman, every boy and girl,
knows that there is an appeal from
the foreman's ruling +to the chief ;
and the foremen know this, too.
The foremen are not made the final
arbiters of a dispute; even the most
trusted and honored of our foremen
know that in the last resort they
must appear with the man in trou-
ble before me or my partners. That
• is to say, while we exercise the
""greatest possible care in choosing
our foremen, selecting only such
• seen as will encourage the good
„ workerand help to preserve a kind-
.ly and ,a human feeling in the fee -
tor y, we,still fedi that the personal
: responatb,ity is ours, and ours
alone, in *bag that justice is done,
jiz :titre tempered ..with mercy,. to the
of our employes.''
Pat: Best Wages.
Pascal does not beli•ev in profit-
sharing. His plan is to pay the
best wages justified by the business.
• He has good reasuus for thinking
that "profit-sharing" is a fine
phrase, in too many instances, for
.obscuring the scandal of unjust
Wages. On the ether hand, there is
a. social side to the Pascal business
in the'hands of an able and sympa-
thetic manager. Meals are pro-
vided at a, fraction ever cost price,
rousts are set• apart for music, bil-
liards and reading, a home of rest
is kept going at the seaside.
. Money -Grubbing the Cause.
'My view as to labor troubles,"
abe said, "is simply this: Money-
grubbing on the part of. employers
" is the root •cause.. Take, fur in.
Stance, the ease of abad foreman,
who spreads an inhuman feeling
throughout a factory. Who is re.al-
;ly respousible t is it not the em-
,'plu3_er himself, who selects such a

that a purgative does. What you

Mrs. Freeman Leslie, Greenwich,

Williams' Pink Pills the very best
family medicine there is. I was
completely run-down and could not
sleep or do my work. I was very
nervous and the least sound start-
led me. I began using Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills and they soon
brought me back to the beat of good
health. They also cured my hus-
band when he was suffering from a
severe attack of rheumatism."

Only here, in the home of the great-
est living Englishman, have I found
real rest since I left the boat at
Dover. Here I Have enjoyed for a
day such a rest as I have not known
since I bid ,good -by to China; for it
is a pleasurable rest to see and
know this "Grand Old Man." It is
delightful to learn his thoughts and
to see things of this world as he sees
them. It is the highest prize of
public service to be able to retire
to such a home life as his, amid the.
respect of the world and the love
and achniration of his countrymen,
If I could be any other person than
Li Hung Chang I should want tot be
William Ewart Gladstone, the
Grand Old Man of England.
Mr. Gladstone met me at the
Handsome, green -covered station
upon My arrival. A great crowd of
the• country people•were there, and
hats were raised and handkerehiefs
fluttered as our party - descended
iron( the train. Then there was long
and hearty' applause. as: we shook
hands, both of vs barehea+cl•ed'.: 1
do not know when before, in public,
Z have been seen without a head
ees Bring. ,
At once Mr. Gladstone apologized
for not having come to London to
meet me. But he said that if he had
made the trip he would very likely
have been ill fer a week. He had
sent a telegram to ono at Windsor
Castle to this same effect two days
before, and so I had •determined to
visit him at Hawarden. Accom-
panied only by Lung -ii and Bruce
(interpreters and secretaries), we
took a long walk over his estate,
and talked of many matters remote
from affairs of state, 1 was sur-
prised to find how well he knew my
life, and he expressed the same
feeling when I told him what 1
knew regarding himself. He spoke
of the queen, about Indian affairs,
and of home rule for Ireland ; and I
was •certain that he hoped to fee
that unhappy country better gov-
eened before he died. "They have
given their best to England," he
said, "and in turn have been given
only England's worst.".
. He pointed out some tree stu ups
to me, and said that in eight. years
he had kept'his health good and his
mueoles strong by his chopping ex.
ercise. It .amused Me very much,
and I told him 1 would like to see
him strike a blow. So he took up
the instrument for cutting, and
made several great dents in one of
the trees. • Then he turned to hie
and said, "Lord Lie. did you ever
cut down a tree.?" I told him I
had many a time when I was a boy,
but like manyother boyishhltabits,
I had outgrown this one also. But
he wanted 'me to try, .and .1 did.
however, it was'awkward work, for
the handle of the. instrument caught
in mysleeve, and I nearly sett my
feat.

Tal Is Thought that'liunderIs Due
to Intense Heating of. Gates. •
Fer a long time it Was supposecl
that the noise -of thunder was
caused by the closing up ,of the vac=
hum created by the passage of,,the
lightning; the air rushing Irl -from
all sides with .a clap; but the intens-
ity pf the noise is rather 'dispeep,or-
tionate, and ib is now thought that
thitnsler is. due to • the' intense heat-
ing of games, es1ecially the gee of
water vapor. o<,long the. line, of elec=
trio discharge, and the consequent
conversion of suspended moisture
into ste.a-nt at 'enormous pressure.
In this way the cracklewith which
a. peal of thunder ,sometimes begins
might be • regarded its the sound of
steam explosion on a small scale
paused by discharges before the
main flash. The rumble would be
the overlapping stems explosions,
and the final clap, which sounds
loudest, would be the steam explo-
sion nearest to the .auditor. In the
case of rumbling thunder the light-
ning' is passing from cloud to cloud.
;When the flash passes from the
clouds to- the earth the 'clap is loud-
est at the beginning. O'no investi-
gator has given substance to these
suppositions by eausing electric
flashes to pass from point to point
through teianinals clothed in soaked
coarse wool, and he succeeded in
magnifying the crack of the electric,
spark .to a startling extent. It is
quite • pos•sible that further experi-
ments will add to his findings.
