Saved From tho Poor House.

For years DAVID Allingsworth suf-
fered with rheumatism, and notwith-
standing the best medical treatment,
could not find relief, He came to the
Sciota county poorhouse, and had to be
carried into and out OF bed, on account
of his helpless condition. After the
failure of all the remedies which had
been applied, the directors of the poor,
house resolved to use the celebrated
German remedy, st, Jacobs Oil, and this
was a fortunate resolution for, with
the trial Of one bottle, the patient was
already much better, and when four bot
ties had been used upon him, he could
again walk about without the use of a
cane. The facts, rs above stated, will
be verified by the editor of the Ports,
mouth, Ohio, Correspondent.

Lab:r War in Pennsylvania.

Reports are constantly coming from
the mining districts of Pennsylvania that
the miners there are in conjunction with
other classes of workingmen in that
State, Ohio and Illinois preparing for
grand general labor demonstration. 1t
is known that they have been organic
ing for long time, and the beginning
of general strike is daily apprehended.
From present indications the initiatory
step will not long be postponed. Indeed,
many persons predict that it will take
place before the end of the present
month.
The coal and iron fields of Western
Pennsylvania have been selected as the
battlefield Of the strikers, but they will
not be coGfned to that territory or State
They hope to extend their operations to
Ohio and Illinois, at least.
1t is reported that more than 100000
men are enrolled already in the various
trades unions, and the work Of organi
zatIon is rapidly going on.
The consequences of such huge COM
bmation, whose members are constantly
inilamed and excited by the violent ha
rangues Of labor agitators and political
alemagogues, cannot be overestimated
But 1t IS reported that the coal, iron and
railway companies are fully informed as
TO the intentions Of the conspirators,
and have taken ample precautions to
suppress any acts of hwlessness that
may occur and to protect their prop
lesrty, ...'

Polar Lords.

Like all aborigines the men of the
Arctic regions are lazy, and compel the
women to do all the manual labor. I saw
two women, each with child on her
back, drawing a thirty foot net for sal
mon, while the men stood by smoking
without offering to assist, although it
was evident that the task was much
too difficult for the women. These peo-
pie are remarkably good natured, laugh
ng heartily at every triae, and always
smiling when spoken to. They are very
susceptible to ridicule, and to avoid it
will do many things that they could not
otherwise be ind dced to do. They have
no marriage ceremony; when an mutt
brave desires wife he makes her an
offer of present, generally an "ah- te-
ghe," to the maiden of his choice; if it
is accepted she becomes his wi and is
taken to his "tupeck." This brief form
OF marriage seems to be quite as effec-
tive as the more elaborate form of civ.
llization. They seem to live happily
together, and separations are very un
usual, especially If children have been
born to them. In cases where there are
no children by the first wife it is moi
unusual for second to be taken. The
two wives are said to occupy the same
stupeck" without envy or jealousy. :

Lenpih of the Human Step.

At recent sitting of the French Acad-
envy of Sciences, Monsieur Marcy read
very interesting paper, giving the re-
suit of his experiments with machine
for measuring the length and rapidity of
a mans stride in walking. Marcy found
that n number of circumstances modi-
fed the length of the step. The step is
longer going up hill than going down;
longer for man carrying load than
for one unloaded; longer with low
heels than with high heels; and longer
for man wearing thick soles and those
which project slightly beyond the toe
than for one wearing short and flexible
soles. 1t was found that while the heel
might be lowered indefinitely without
detriment to the gait, the sole could not
be made perfectly rigid nor prolonged
too far without interfering with the
speed and ease of the wearer. Expert
ence alone was able to determine the
exact length and thickness necessary to
produce the best results.
