Tue cry sent out into the streets by the

Cesar's will.
They will, therefore, support the aris.
toeracy, and in point of numbers render
the first class strong enough to force the
other two classes into revolution to Sc
cure their rights. Such proceedings as
those of late in Mississippi and Louisi-
ana will become general, and a bloody
revolution will be inevitable.
Such being the causes of, and the pro-
cess of revolution what is the remedy?
!. Colonization of the negIoes in sep
arate territories. d..
2. The suppression OF the Coolie trade.
s. The prohibition, if possible, or at
least, the vigorous condemnation of spe-
cial efforts to increase immigration.
A. The abolition of all monopolies, and
the full inauguration of the labor policy
as against the policy of capital.
8. The Improvement of our District
Schools, to insure a better practical edu-
cation to all the children of the poorest
classes.
1t is evident, therefore, that there is
great work to be done in order to pre-
vent an early national calamity. 1t is
time that all the better minds and hearts
of the country were enlisted in the
cause. The first measure--colonlzatio
must be attended to Immediately, and
the others must be kept steadily in view.

One of The first effects of the attempt
to enfore system OF compulsory educa-
ton in New York is marked increase
in the number of applications tor admis-
sion in the public schools; and the mani
ftstation OF considerable anxiety by
parents in regard to the future conduct
of boys who nave hitherto been in the
habit Of playing truant. 1t is also be-
lieved that many OF the children EN-
ployed in workshops will soon be sent
to the night schools for the first time,
thus largely increasing the attendance
at those useful institutions The incor-
rigible youths have apparently not yet
been Influenced by the law, ana it is sup
posed that stringent measures will be
necessary to impress them with the con-
viction that it must be obeyed; but there
is disposition 10 make arrests and I'M
pose punishments in cases where mild
measures prove ineffective.

A bachelor in Omaha, Neb., who was
the fortunate possessor of a house ready
furnished, recently effected a most ad-
vantageous arrangement. He found a
pleasant family anxious to take boar
ders, and willing to take his house and
furnish him with board and part of the
profits for the rent. The arrangement
worked very pleasantly for the bachelor,
til the other morning, when he awoke
and found the family gone and himself
with house full of boarders to provide
for. At last accounts he was trying to
extricate himself from the dilemma.

Very often screw hole gets so worn
that the screw will not stay in. Where
glue is handy, the regular carpenter
makes the holes larger and CLUES in a
large plug, making nest for an entirely
new hole. But this is not always the
case, and people without tools, and in an
emergency, often have to fix the thing at
once. Generally leather is used, but this
is SO hard that it does not hold we'll. The
best of all things is to cut narrow strips
of cork, and fill the hole completely.
Then force the screw in. This will make
as tight a job as if driven into an entirely
new hole.

Fishermen in some parts Of Europe and
of this country Kill fish with a knife or
bludgeon as soon as they are taken from
the water, because fish thus killed are
found to be better than those which have
long gasped and struggled before dying.
The Dutch, for example, destroy life by
making slight longitudinal incision
under the tail with a sharp instrument.
On the Rhine they kill salmon by thrust
ing a steel needle into their heads. Fish
may be easily killed by striking them a
quick, sharp blow with a small stick on
the back OF the head just behind the eyes,
or by taking them by the tail and strik--
Inc the head quickly against any hard
substance.

Theoretically we eagerly subscribe to
the belief that "there's no place like
home;" practically we often slultify our
selves by making nome sd'far from agree
able that the beautiful song is true to our
experience in i'm opposite way from the
one the poet meant. The great trouble
in three homes out of five is that they
are inelastic; there is no room left in
their economy Tor individual freedom.
The same unbending rule is made to APP
ply to half a dozen people, no two OF
whom are precisely alike, and who may
be SO differently constituted that what
to one is no trouble is to another a ty-
ranny.

EACH NEEDS THE OTHER.

II bluebirtls bloomed like flowers In O row,
And never could make sound,
How would the daisies and violets know
When 10 come out of tho ground?
They would wait and wait the seasons round;
Never flower could on earth be found.

If the flowers had wings to flyp
Why. birds and blossoms, and butterflies too
Would stay far up in The sky;
And tnen the people would droop and sigh,
And all the children on earth would cry.

At the Delamapter Iron Works, New
York, the scrap steel that accumulates
about the shops is utilized in a very
simple and economical manner. A pile
of mixed steel is made, with a proper
quantity of the welding compound
sprinkled between tho layers. The pile
is then brought to red heat, and work
ed into shape under a steam hammer.
Mr.. Crolius, foreman Of the smith shop,
says the welding is invariably perfect,
and that the only objection to the scrap
steel for tools is that, in making the
piles, bits of steel OF an inferior quality
sometimes gets in, which are not suita-
bic for the edges of cutting tools. With
more care in selecting and piling the
scrap, this difficulty could be entirely
ayoded. H
