It has often puzzled students Of So
cial life to discover how it is that
workmen in their fight against capi-
tai generally throw their common
sense to the winds, and allow them
selves to be carried clean off their
feet by a few agitators who with little
to lose have great deal to gain. The
lockout of the cigar makers is a case
in point, Twenty-six men in one
factory struck because their employer
refused to discharge larger body of
men in the factory who belonged to
another Union than theirs, and hence
in their eyes were nothing but 'scabs.
The manufacturers seeing in this an
unheard Of attempt to dictate what
they should do, decided to take the
bull by the horns and anticipate a
general strike by orderinga a general
lockout. Thus it is that at present
on account of the arrogant obstinacy
of twenty-six men, seven thousand
hands are without employment, and
hundreds of families will suffer Sc
rious want unless their heads come to
their senses shortly.
The dueling mania is spreading
The latest victim is our distinguished
foreign journalist, Mr.. Wong Chm
Foo, the editor of the Chinese Ame77-
can. Dennis Kearney, the Sand
Lots Orator has been in town for a
few days, trying to agitate, but unfor
tunately for his own pretentlons he
has made but little progress, and
even in his own chosen set has made
a failure of it. Now comes Mr.. Wong
Chin Foo, who challenges kearney
to a public discussion on the Chinese
question. Kearney declined inso-
lently This fired the blood of the
editor of the Chinese american, and

Who Is He!

The following item is going the rounds OF
the Eastern press "An interesting event
which has just occurred in Antrim, N. H., is
the return from California, after an absence
of thirty-one years, of a man whose family
have long since supposed him to be dead.
He went to California when the gold fever
broke out, corresponded with his wife some
years, and then ceased corresponding. His
only son, who was about nine years of age
when the father went away, is now mer-
chant in Antrim and one OF the Selectmen of
the town. About two months ago he re-
ceived letter from Sacramento saying that
his father was very i'll there and not likely
to recover. He replied Immediately, directing
that his father be cared for, and subse-
quently he received letter from his father
himself, saying that he was better and might
come East. A few days ago telegram from
Chicago announced that the long-lost parent
was on his way to Boston, where he was met
on his arrival by the SON, who recognized
him and escorted him home. The wife is
still living. The returned Californian is
more than 20 years old"

OUR BOY WHO RUNS ALONE.

Our boy now runs alone
His slowly strengthening footsteps have gathered
might to-day,
TO wend their worldly walk alone, amid lfe's con-
slant fray,
And little feet are busy now in measuring the road
Which older ones have travelled meath Times in
creasng load;
Alone he goes, yet not alone,
Our boy who runs alone.
Our boy now runs alone;
All, who may know of all the ways these feet per
chance may go?
How much of pleasant pathway" How much
where thorns upgrow?
How much of Joy and gladness may come to him
through life?
How mu ' of sin and sorrow? How much of
worldly strife?
With others walking, or alone,
our boy who runs alone.
Our boy runs alone,
Oh, who may meet him OH his way: And who
may take his hand?
And walk beside him, all his own, to help his feet
to stand
Firm in the paths of peace, perchance, or in for
bidden ways?
Those little feet, what may they meet in all life's
coming days?
As on they go, but not alone,
Our boy who runs alone?
Our boy now runs alone,
We may not know. 'Tis well. Only Time may
ope the gate
OF future days-of good or i'll, of gain loss, of
fate.
Our boy now runs alone" we know, and know
the time will come
When his tired feet and weary limbs will rest at
last at home.
Then up toward the great white throne
Our boy will take his way alone.

One of the most remarkable things about
mans walk, says Science Of Al, is the
diagonal movement which characterizes it
The hands and feet may be regardedas as form
ing the four corners of parallelogram, and
the diagonal limbs are, Of course, the right
arm and left leg and left arm and right leg.
By diagonal movements is meant that the
diagonal limbs during locomotion always
swing in the same direction. The arms
swing by the body like a couple of pendu-
lums, and with speed which entirely de-
pends upon the rate at which he may be
walking. The athlete, anxious TO complete
the given number of laps in mile or
couple of miles and outstrip his competitors,
swings his arms to and fro with quickness
which corresponds with the motion of his
swift feet; the business man also swings his
arms with motion which, if not so quick,
times with the motion of his feet. Now, if
the motion be even carelessly observed, it
will be found that the right arm swings for
ward at the same time as the left leg, and
when the right leg is advancing it is the left
arm which accompanies it. This diagonal
movement of the limbs is the natural meth
od adopted by man when walking and it is
the first and most apparent fact that one as
certains in studying human locomOtion.

A Curious Use for Straw

is the manufacture of car wheels. The starw
is first made into common straw board. these
are cut into round pieces perforated at the
center and %, 33 and AZ inches in diameter,
for use in wheels of these various sizes, then
pasted together and pressed repeatedly in a
powerful hydraulic press under the force OF
5000 lbs. to the inch. The block is then fitted
into steel tire bound with plates and bolts
and finally makes awheel which sells readily
at $50, while an iron wheel costs but Sis, But
the paper takes up all the vibration from the
rail- which is soinjurious to the tire and axles
when iron wheels are used, causing breakage
aud costly accidents. These paper wheels
never break, while the iron wheels break very
often. An iron wheel runs 100000 miles, but
a paper wheel 100000 or 10000 before the
tire is worn out, and then the tire can be re-
placed at small cost. Other important uses
are being found for straw, and in coarse of
time it may become too valuable for feeding,
and will be more profitable for sale than the
grain that it bears. Near the large cities and
mills rye straw is worth sum
equivalent to abont $40 an acre; this is equal
to the price of larger yield than an average
crop of grain.

A Hit at Modern Grammar Books.

New York educators are discussing the
propriety of excluding textbooks on gram.
mar from her public schools. The Herald
styles the present system of grammar teach
ing utterly confusing and stupid" 1t has
the following additional remarks to make on
the subject:
1t is undeniable that grammatical accu-
racy of speech is desirable in children; it is
equally undeniable that no children speak
dramatically, and those who faultlessly re-
cite rules and construe sentences speak as
incorrectly as any of their companions.
When any one, child or adult speaks and
writes dramatically, it is always safe to as
sume that the accuracy was acquired by
much reading of good authors, or by associa-
tion with persons who read or write great
deal. 1t is very unlikely that Shakespeare,
whose construction of sentences teachers do
not criticise, ever saw a textbook on Gram
mar, and the same may be said of other
writer's of pure English.

10 A DEFUNCT GOAT.

Thou'rt lying cold and pale, o William Goat,
see thee thou art-as Walt Whitman would
say
Prone in mute DEATH st iff in thy shaggness;
And since thou now so helpless and low liest,
And canst not leap to sudden, harsh revenge
take the liberty Of firing off
These faint few lines at thee, o Billy!
Thou hast been q great butter in thy time;
Bombarded hast thou the reckless small boy
With IA most damaging bombardmenti thou
Likewise hast oft times launched forth full tilt
Thy cheerful Uranium at the old man, and made
Him realize that not by any means is life
An empty dream; assaulted too hast thou
The wild-eyed servant girl, high hosting her
Into the pellucd air, mid piercing shrieks
of more than mortal agOny-all-all
Have of thee had a taste thou hast. great Goat,
Not been partial.
Thou reignedst u king
Amongst us William and thou hadst room
Fen more than the afflicted lepers of old days
Proud men saw thee and vanished like the wind
Women behed thee and split all the land
With screams diresome, what time themselves
they made
Exceedingly remote. They did not much admire
The appearance of thy frontspiece, o William
Goat.
Sometimes in truth, the small boy braved thy ire,
And sought TO monkey round thy festive form,
But it is fact he generally
Projected sky-hgh for his pains.
But thou, O w. G.!
Couldst not avail of all thy puissant self
To butt Fell Death. Death Is the Boss Butter
From Buttville-don't you forget it, Billy,

sun Spots and Magnetic Storms.

Professor Schuster, the English astrono-
mer in a recent lecture at Manchester thus
spoke of sun spots: Sun spots Were seldom
seen at the poles and seldom near the equa-
tor, though sometimes seen at both. We
were now, after long prOtracted absence of
sun spots, rapidly approaching their max
imum, which would probably be reached in
few months, when there would be more
than during the next eleven years. They
would then slowly decrease in number, until
in five, or six, or seven years there would
hardly be sun spot seen for some months,
and then they would begin to appear again,
and eleven years hence they would probably
be as numerous as now. These changes were
not absolutely regular, the number of years
having varied from eight and One-half to
thirty, but they oscillated around the period
of eleven years. The protuberance on the
suns surface occurred in the same way.
Magnetic storms took place much more fire.
quently when there were many sun spots
than when there were few, and the aurora bO-
reals was very nearly related to them. For
some years we had seen of the latter few, and
there were few sun spots then. while now
hardly day passes without an aurora being
observed somewhere, and this was always
accompanied by magnetic storms. There
was striking and regular connection be-
tween them. When a sun spot broke out, it
was very probable that we should see an
aurora, and were almost certain to have a
magnetic storm. A few weeks ago there was
a very big spot ON the suns surface. and au-
roras were seen all over England where the
sky was clear. This connection between the
sun and the earth was one of the creates sci
entific mysteries of the age, and we were alb
solutely without any explanation of it"

A Chicago Man Mad.

While Abbeyes theatre was burning, several
men in hotel near by were talking about it.
One was Chicago man and he had good

had not travelled much, was listener

"Oh! then it was put out. I'n glad. Hope
no one lost anything"
The Chicago man turned away, but pretty
soon came back again. remark about the
theatre being flimsy led him to say:
"a theatre like that would not be allowed
in Chicago; no, sir, not be allowed"
Then the New Yorker Clipped in with:
"Have you really theatre in Chica-
go?"
Have we what?"
"a theatre. You were speaking about
the theatres. Do actors ever 60 out there ?"
The Chicago man did not answer. He
seemed to be getting riled. The innocent
New Yorker spoke again:
Would there be any chance to start
church in Chicago? I have friend who
feels that he was born to be missionary,
and he thinks that if he got into new set
The Western citizen was really getting

The Meditatiye YOungster Who has
been Il Slave to Tobacco Since he
was Weaned.

Probably the youngest cOfrmed smoker OF
tobacco in New York is Joseph Granger, a
chubby four -year-old who lives at No, 8 Null
berry street. His father, August Granger,
is skilled French glass worker, employed
in D. Durand's Worth street factory The
other day Sun reporter saw the youngster
toddling about the shop with his lighted
pipe in his mouth. He is four-year-old OF
full size His eyes are bright and clear, and
his cheeks were rosy enough to show good
color, despite the trying effect of Tam
OShanter cap OF flaming red. The plump
ness which severely strained the buttons of
his comfortable overcOat was apparently
solid and healthy tissue. He manifested a
wholesome respect for Mr.. Durand, but stur-
dily resisted that gentleman's efforts to take
away his pipe. He howled dismally when
his resistance was overcome and the pipe
was forced from his clenched teeth and deter
mined grasp. 1t was common wooden pipe,
soaked and strong
The reporter cOnsoled Joe with a cigar
He seized it eagerly. 1t was big one, full
of flavor, dark and strong. The baby smoker
shut his fist tightly upon it, held it jealously
against his breast, and clamored for a match
His little teeth were scarcely equal to the
task of biting off the end OF the cigar, but
he nibbled at it until he found that it would
draw, and then scratched his match. Hav-
ing secured light he smoked away with
every air of satisfaction at the change, and
nodding his head vigorously when asked if
he liked the cigar better than the pipe. His
pipe he holds firmly in his teeth, and scarce
ly puts his hand to it until it is smoked out
The cigar was too big to close his teeth on
comfortably, so he held it between his lips
with one hand, never letting 60 his hold up
on it for an instant, and very seldom taking
it out Of his mouth
The father of this four-year-old is not
without concern as to the effect of his heavy
indulgence in tobacco. He is heavy smoker
himself Little Joe has been addicted to the
weed since he was eighteen months old. He
was weaned at that age. The family don't
remember how he first came to get hold of
pipe. It never made him sick. When they
had got over gratifying his taste for the sake
of the oddity, and tried to break him of the
habit, they found that they couldn't. The
sight of pipe was the signal for an outcry
that could be stilled only by allowing him to
smoke. They gave it up. Joe has since
smoked regularly, and calls upon his mother
to fill his pipe as soon as he gets up in the
He smokes through the day as
often as he can prevail upon her to give him
a pipeful of tobacco. His health seems to
be good, but he is inclined to taciturnity.
When he has his pipe in his mouth it is diff
ficult to get word out of him, and his GUS
tomary attitude is one of meditation.
Whether this is his outward and visible sign
thought, or the stupefying effect of the to-
bacco, Mr. Granger does not attempt to say.
The boy sleeps we'll, but eats scarcely two
solid ounces of food day, though he is
plump as a partridge
