Misery, said Prof, Ashley in his recent lecture before the Political Science Club of Toronto University on theeingde tax theory, 11 caused by at least three things : (1) There is not enough produced in the world to sat. isfy the needs of all and make every one cornfortable ; (2) goods are not fairly divided between employe•s.rnti employed ; and 113) there aro moral defects in the human ewe. At first blush the statement that the present production of the world is insufficient to satisfy the needs of all and render them comfortable will, no doubt, appear to many unwarrantable. For with warehouses filled with goods waiting to be distributed the general pope ar impression is that there is rather an over than an under -production. A little thought, however, will show that the statement is literally true, and that were an attempt made to render tho miserable con• fortable the supply would be exhausted long lidera the work was completed. Thomisory growing out of this under -production hs aggravated by the foot that of that whioh is produced many have much more than they need or can use. How to remedy this matter and bring about a more 081101 distribution of the good things of this life is the difficult problem which social economists are trying to solve. But there can be no question that the greater part of the misery is due to the third cause stated by Prof. Ashley and to the intemperate and wasteful habits that spring front these moral defects. Who will deny that if the money spent in the sal. eons was used in purchasing those things Which bring 0Onhfort to the nome a wondoeful change lvould 00011 takoplace among the poor of our large centres of population. No doubt misery would still exist, for even the man of 'correct habits has no immunity from the mf8fortunee of life, but Cho amount Would be so trilling compared with What exists at present would indeed, hardly be worth mentioning, It is plain, therefore, that these would, be benefactors of their fellowmen whose plans have reaped, only to a change of tine individual's environment are making an egregious and radical blunder in ignoring the fact that in this problem character is no less important a factor than oireumstanee0.

The janitor was in at- tendance and threatening him with the same fate that had mat his employes, if he persisted in refusing to tell what he knew as to Henry's whereabouts, he fell on his knees and imploring mercy pointed to a door loading to a little room or closet fn an unoccupied portion of the building. The 0111/01.5 went to the door and kuocketl, get - ring no answer they forced it open, when lo! before their very eyes crouched under a little cot in the room , on his face written the terrible agonies which he suffered, and his whole frame trembling like a leaf, was the once respected and princely merchant now a felon hunted to his lair. He broke completely down and sobbed like a child. " Don't kill me, gentlemen," ho exclaimed, when he found words t b speak, "I surrender. Take me and Dart me into prison, I deserve to suffer for what I have done. Don't band. cuff me, I will go peaceably." He was taken from the room and thus within 24 hours of his arrival in the City of Mexico Detective Kellert had Henry ill the prison cells. But the hardest and cleverest piece of work was yet to be done. No money was found on Henry'sperson when he was arrested and there was 130,000 to account for, In the room was a largo calve of soap about two foot square. Mr. Keller' peeled off his coat, fur the temperature was very high, and set to week with a wire to cut up t110 cake of 0o',p.

The telegram stated that on that date, Jan. 0, $5000 of the money had been sent by the Wells Fargo Express Company from Detroit to the City of Mexico, The parcel arrived the day fol. lowing this discovery and was obtained by Superintendent Kellert. The letter showed that 310,000 more was in the Benno dos National of the city in certificates loft there for oolleotion. Kellert had his mem in prison and every dollar of the hank'ts motley re- covered.

An elderly female, a sort of Mre. Gimp, volunteered a garrulous account of the death, "She's a beautiful corpse," she remarked, gloatingly pulling down the sheet for me to see. ' See how nicely she's laid out, nurse. I've had praotioe at laying out." Then she consulted me in a professional sorb of way, Should the corpse remain where it wee, or did I think the }coning board wield be a bettor place ? "The board is rather short, you see,' she added, " and it wouldn't do for her head or her legs to hang over the and, would it now, nurse ?" I said, " No, it wouldn't, " and tried to lnalce appropriate responso0. but the stuffy room, the complacent neighbors, ani the silent, rigid corpse lying before Inc, together with the utter ahsenoe of any sense of the solemnity of death, filled ale with a sicken. ing feeling of disgust.
