Strikes and Failures in England.

With what friction the adjustment of
 the relations between labor and capital in the United Kingdom is attended can be seen in the cable dispatches. Out of the depression of trede the capitalist secs no way but by reduction of the price of labor, and labor sees no way to stop it but by going on strike. Then the capitalist suffers a little and the 1aborer great deal. In nine cases out of ten capital wins, and the Iaborer re- turns, grumbling, to work. In the cot ton, coal and iron trades the struggle is very bitter. It is gratifying to observe that in one case the dispute about five per cent reduction has been referred to arbitration, and it is to be hoped that the arbitrators will give the grounds on which they base their decision, as well as the decision itself. The coal miners of Sou tn Yorkshire are preparing to re- sist reduction of pay, and the amalga- mated engineers are ready to resist an attempt to increase their hours of labor
 All these are symptoms of the depression of business, of which a further idea may be formed by the record of failures for 1878. They are in all 15, ,05O, or 4,O37 more than in 1877. Of these 2,643 are of large concerns, the Glasgow Bank, with it's thirty million dollars of deficit, heading the list. No symptoms of re- covery from this state of affairs is visible. Wages pairing and profit shaving may help English trade trihe, but it's great da ys are gone beyond recovery. It can no longer monopolize the markets of the world, and where it has recently lost ground another has taken it's place.

Apple Dumplings.

Procure some good, juicy, tart ap- ples; core and pare them, and fill up their cores with sugar and little pow dered cinnamon. Then rub two table spoonfuls of lard or butter into one quart of flour; add pinch of salt, and mix to dough just stiff enough to roll out very soft, with teacupful of sour milk, in which half teaspoonful of saleratus has been dissolved. Roll out the dough as for biscuit and spread it over with butter fold it on the sides, roll it out thin again, and leti stand on the holding board half an hour, covered from the air. Then cut it into large pieces which will entirely cover one ap- pie. Put the dumplings into we'll but tered biscuit-pan; when it is filled up put 8 small piece of butter on top of each dumpling, scatter handful of su- gar over the whole of them, and bake in moderated V heated oven fer nearly an hour. Serve with cream and sugar, or a pudding sauce made of one teacupful of sugar, the grated peel and juice of one lemon, the beaten white of an egg, and three tablespoonfuls of boiling water {; boil for three minutes. It is a delicious pudding, and it will also make a..nice side dish for supper,

South African Warfare.

Makapan aud his tribe had retired and ensconced themselves in ono of the vast caverns which occur in the lime stone formation ill that part of the couu- try. * * These extraordinary cav- erns were upward of 2,0O0 feet in length by 300 or 800 feet wide, intersected by several walls, and so dark that no one could penetrate the gloom. * * Eight days close siege, however, did not prove effectuai. It was then deter. mined to block up the entrance. Fifty teams of oxen and about 300 friendl y Kaffirs were employed at this work, and many loads of stone and trees were thrown down into the openings of the caverns. * At the end of the three weeks the commando" could no longer bear tho horrible stenoh of the dead both within and without the cave, and Pr@toriu gave the order to raise the siege. The number of Kaffirs who had fallen outside amounted to upward of 900. Those who had died inside must have been much greater. Makapan and his tribe were we'll high annihilated, and thoir village laid in ashes.

Newfoundland.

The island of Newfoundland is curiously favored, insmuch that it is not infested with reptiles. Capt. Chearnley writes:-
 "In Newfoundland there is not a snake, toad, frog, or reptile of any sort. There is not a squirrel on the island, no DOT rcupine, moose or mink; whereas, with the exception of the porcupine, wanting in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, all these creatures are found in the neighboring provinces. The Arctic hare is found in Newfoundland. but in neither Cape Breton nor Nova Scotia"
 Capt. Hardy calls attention to other deficiencies. He visited Newfoundland at midsummer, and could not help re- marking that firefiies were not to be seen there; while in Nova Scotia they swarm by thousands, their scintillations adding beauty to the pail of quiet night. The island is full of bogs and swamps, which renders it difficult to account for the total absence of reptiles.

A Cheap Window Box.

My window garden has filled my ex- pectations at such trihing cost, that I recommend my plan to all lovers of flowers. Take a common raisin box putty the cracks, shut and let dry, paint outside, and if wanted for the room decorate with pictures, which can be done with very little trouble; take 8 small quantity of gum arabic, dissolve in water, brush the pictures on the wrong side, arrange them on the box when dry, varnish over and they will re- main on all winter. Put bits of crockery, cinders or any substance that will not pack, for drainage. Fill up with good rich earth, with little sand or woods ground, to keep loose. Plant Wentworth ivy along the edges to fall over the box. If the box is placed where you do not wish to move it till spring, you can plant Madeira root at one end and some variety of ivy at the other to wind up at the side of the window. Inside, plant whatever flowers you choose, placing the tallest in the centre.
