( INTERESTING LABOR EXPERIMENT..
The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific rail-
road company has made an experiment
which, by its successful result, seems to
have solved the labor question, so far as
that corporation is concerned. Several
months ago the superintendent initiated the
plan of paying the employees of the compa-
nv by the hour. The mechanics in the
shops of the company wereall paid by this
standard, while engineers and other train
men were paid according to the number Of
miles they ran.
The latter plan, although obviously
liable to produce inequalities of compensa-
ton, is said to have worked satisfactorily,
so that in busy seasons the engineers made
as much as $3.50 a month. In the shops
the men were employed all through the
season, but worked reduced number Of
hours, while in slack times they were en-
ployed fewer hours, instead of being dis.
charged. At first some of the workmer
objected, but trial of the scheme is sald
to have convinced all of them of its fairness
1t affords the corporation perfect protec
ton against strikes, and removes all causes
of ill-feeling between the employers and the
employed. The success of the experiment
renders it worthy of attention. To some
extent the same mode of payment is prac'
ticed by the Reading railroad company
The brakesmen, and probably the engineers
and conductors, are paid by the number Q
trips made.

NERVOUSNESS What constitutes weak
nerves or nervousness, which is often wit
messed in black-eyed, tea-drinkiug women ?
How can one develop his nerves and diges-
tive organs What is sign of strong
digestive system? Is nervous temperament
ever found in really great men?
Ans. Formerly it was customary to
speak of nervous temperament, but we did
not necessarily mean one who was fever
ishly eXcitable in the nervous system, but
signified one who had relatively large brain
and more nervous development than was
harmonious with the bony or muscular,
and the digestive and circulatory structures.
One person has predominant digestive
system which is indicated by the fulness of
the face outward from the mouth. and by a
good-sized chest and rather large abdomen.
Another is known for having strong, firm,
hard bones and hard muscles, and little
flesh such a person is said to have the
| bilious or motive temperament; and the
nervous or mental temperament is indicat-
ed by less development of the digestive,
muscular and bony structures, and more
of brain and nerve.
There is q great deal of nervousness in
duced by care, anxiety, overwork, and the
use OF condiments ana StlmulantS, lnclud-
ing strong tea, coffee and tobacco. Women
with blue, gray or hazel eyes, as well as
those having black eyes, get nervous if they
| overwork, sleep too little, and drink strong
tea and coffee.
Greatness does not often. 60 with an un.
| balanced condition of the temperaments
and persons with highly-wrought nervous
temperament, like Edgar A. Poe, may
| write splendidly, but will not be in the besI
| sense great, without enough of the vita
system and bony structure to give fan
balance of constitution. Men need strength
endurance and constitutional vigor to sus.
tain large brain, in order to make then
great, continuously so. Temperance in al
things, and an abundance of sleep, are re
| quisite for those who would strengthen theil
nervous systems and secure the best o
health Science of Health.

Outraaing Flags.

RICHMOND, VA, July %, 1879.
To the Editor Of the State Journal:
Ihave Just learned of an outrage upon the
Republican party, which all good citizens
must deplore, and if repeated will result in
feeling Of dangerous character to the
peace Of Richmond.
The Grant and Wilson Congressional
club, whose head quarters are at the cor
ner Of Second and Main streets, hoisted a
Grant and Wilson flag on the morning of
the oath, where it remained until after the
passage of the procession on the night of
that day. A short time Afterwards, a
crowd of twenty or thirty men, tore down
and destroyed the flag, swearing that they
did not intend to permit flag Of its char
acter to stand in the city. They were re-
monstrated with, but all to no effect.
Now, sir, We are in favor of peace, and
sincerely hope such conduct is not endorsed
by the better men of the opposition, but if
another such an outrage is perpetrated, we
may not lack the men or the will to exc
cute law of retaliation.
Coored men have stood by quietly, as
they should do, and have seen Greeley BAN
ners hoisted all over the city, and in some
cases have assisted in raising them we
therefore ask that our banners be treated
with the same respect we show to theirs.
We want no rioting or disturbance |;
therefore we call upon the authorities to
see that the rights Of all are respected.
