Ironical Wisdom for Strikers

1t is to be inferred from the policy of
those who have arrested the railroad
business of the country, and from the
conduct Of those who have engaged i'll
the destruction of property, that
l. The way to improve the condition
of labor is to paralyZe the business of
the country.
2. That the way to increase the pay
of labor is to cripple the industries that
employ it.
3. That the way to make times good
and everybody prosperous is to obstruct
and destroy the agencies which are es-
sential to prosperity.
4. That the way to inspire confidence
and tempt capital to invest in enter
prises that will give employment to
labor is to terrorize the public mind,
and spread a feeling of insecurity
among capitalists.
.. AS capital is quite as necessary
to labor as labor is essential to capital,
it is sound policy to widen the breach
between them, and create antagonisms
where none in the nature of things eX-
lists.
These deductions are legitimate, be-
cause they are the actual results of
strikes and riotous proceedings. If
workingmen do not believe that such
consequences are calulated to improve
their present or prospective situations,
they should be exceedingly careful how
they assist to promote state of things
that invariably works out these results.

housekeeping in Simmer,

1t is very popularity supposed that the
early Spring is the season which most
tries the souls of..housekeepers. Per-
haps it was so in our grandmothers'
days, when canned fruit and vegetables
were unknown, and the prudent house
wife was forced in Summer, like the
ant and the bee to clay up stores of
sweetness for use in Winter hours"
stores, which, if not large, were likely
to run low before the kitchen garden
came again into bearing. But now,
with the grocer at our backs ready ''for
compensation" to supply us with every
known fruit and vegetable all the year
round, she who has money or credit
may spread her table bountifully in all
seasons with small forethought of her
own, and the dog-days are those in
which she is most prone to exclaim,
to eat!'' Appetites are capricious;
dinner eaten heartily one day will be
scarcely touched the next, and though
every one has feeling of emptiness,
few persons are actually hungry. Pro-
visions cooked one day are kept to the
next only by the free use of the ice
chest. Thus the economy practiced at
King Arthur's court, where ''what they
could not eat that day the Queen next
morning fried" becomes an impossible
virtue, and the anxious housewife
stands perpleXed between the Scylla of
niggardliness and the Charybdis or
waste. Nature, however, is always a
law unto herself, and he who in warm
weather eats much meat is apt to pay
for it by dulled brain and a general
feeling of uncomfortable heaviness.
In all warm climates the laboring classes
eat but sparingly of animal food. The
East Indian coolie subsists almost
wholly on rice; the West Indian grows
fat upon bananas and oranges, and the
hardy Arab of the desert conquered a
world on diet of dates and barley.
Dio Lewis says that no meat but
chicken and lamb should be eaten in
hot weather; but then Dio Lewis is a
firm advocate Of the theory that the
oatmeal is, or ought to be, the staff of
human life. Milks and fruits, bread
and vegetables, are cooling and healthy
diet for the dog days, and may be freely
indulged in. And since in hot wealth.
er the kitchen is modified purgatory,
and preparing desserts becomes a PEN
ance, we have cause to congratulate
ourselves on the delicious desserts which
nature brings to us for the gathering.
Strawberries, raSpDerfleS, DlackDerrleS
and peaches-an these come to the table
without the smell of fire having passed
upon them, and, eaten with cream, are
ssdish to set before king So, also
in the country, where fruit and milk
abound, ice-cream, that most delicious
of desserts, costs almost nothing.
Given pailfull of ice and a five min
ute freezer, the rich milk, or, still bet
ter, cream, has but to be mixed with
the crushed fruit, sweetened, and left
to freeze itself. Covering with an old
blanket or piece of carpeting, the pro-
cess of congealing will go on slowly
but surely, with small aid from you,
even if your freezer be a tin bucket
only in this case you must stir the cream
| with a knife two or three times while
freezing to prevent the formation OF
crystals of ice in the freezer. [Philadel-

Corrupting the Enemy.

Corrupting the Enemy.
A Russian general about to begin a
bombardment, but being short of
trained artillerymen, has the happy
thought of addressing himself to the
leading building contractors of the city
besieged. Gentlemen" says he, II
wish you to build and operate a battery
for me. You readily understand that
every house knocked down you doubt
less have contract to rebuild when
this crueloff warovitch is oversky."
They addressed themselves to their
task with energy, and employ archi-

accuracy of the fire poured upon that
devoted town is without parallel in the
annals of war. Boston Globe.

THE SHANNON SENSATION.

Tho chief and absorbing topic OF conversation
among the Brooklyn office holders yesterday the
probable result OF the vote Of Alderman Shannon In
confirming the nominees OF Mayor Schroeder There
various rumors anoat on the subJocI Ono was
tho effect that the Alderman Of the Filth ward had
already regretted his hasy aud nooked for action and

vote TO reconsider his action OF Wednesday evening,
under the twenty second rule, he having voted In
the Affirmative. Whether this Will be done not II
is certain that the Independent Alderman still holds
the whiphand over both parties In the Common
Council. The city charter, passed In 1873, b'n
which was drawn by the republican leaders, provides
that the Mayor shall nominate and the Board Of
Aldermen confirm. That then the appolntees s'snall
within ton days" furnish bonds TO be approved
by the Common Council and flied with the
City Clerk. The amendments Of 1874 lchapter 6eY,
section 81 do not alter these provisions Both acts,
the democratic legal advisers assert provide that tho
commissioners 80 appointed shall hold no other Office
nj the time OF their appointment except that of
notary public or commissioner OF deeds. IL Is also
