Change of Clothing.

A notion has prevailed among the unin-
formed that the winter clothing must not be
changed until a given day in the late spring
or early summer. As we often have some
very warm weather. few days at a time,
before it becomes permanent, it is apparent
that during such one must, so hablted, suffer
from heat of necessity debilitating, and pre-
disposing to colds. To wear thick clothing
then, longer than comfort demands, is not
favorable to health. 1t is jujicious to make
these changes as fast as nature dictates, at
all times conforming to the temperature, re-
membering it is as unsafe to be too warm as
it is to be too cold. The undergarments may
well be changed by substituting thinner for
a thicker, in this way avoiding all abrupt
changes,
This course is as safe as it is in the fall
when we add clothing to correspond with the
degree of coldness. There can be no par
ticular day for either. since the seasons and
people vary. But it is always great mis-
take to suppose that we are guarding against
colds by being uncomfortably warm. This
undue warmth so debiltates that one is in
still greater danger of cold. Indeed those
most in the cold air, seldom or never in hot
rooms exposed to all the changes of climate,
are those who have fewest colds: while those
'shoused" for the winter in temperature
they would not tolerate in the summer are
the victims of colds, pneumonia and kindred
diseases. This we may infer from the fact
that the same exposure in the autumn as in
the spring, is not attended by attacks of
acute disease. 1t is always safer to be COM
fortably cool, rather than uncomfortably
warm

LABOR AND ITS HIRE.
A Great Railroad Strike Inaugurated in
Manitoba at MONDAY.

Manitoba at MONDAY.
WINNIPEG, MAN, Dec. 1.-THE entire
business of the Canadian Pacific Railroad
is at stand-still. No trains are moving
and the work shops have all shut down.
The trouble is owing to the policy of re-
trenchment adopted by the company. A
deputation of engineers waited on SUPER
intendent Egan yesterday and submitted
a schedule of wages demanded. Superin-
tendent Egan promised to submit the
proposition to General Manager Van
Horn, and said that it would take ten
days to decide. The deputation said that
they would give him twenty-four hours.
superintendent Egan replied that he
would decide in twenty-fOur Sec
onds. Accordingly, he sent out an
agreement to be signed accepting
the wages offered by the company. This
morning the engineers went to the round
house as usual to take their engines and
were asked to sign the agreement. They
refused and returned to their homes. To-
day superintendent Egan issued an or
der to close all the workshops along the
line at noon. Three thousand men
walked out. An engineer abandoned his
tram at WhitemOuth, on the eastern di-
VISION. The company will prosecute him.
The mail South was sent to Emerson by
sleigh this morning. The company has
telegraphed East for engineers, but it
will be several days before trains will be
running. 1t is feared that the men will
become demOnstrative when the new men
come on and trouble is expected.
PITTsBURG, Dec. 11.-An announce
ment was made here tonight that all the
coal mines along the MOnougahela river
will suspend this week for an indefinite
period owing to the dullness in the coal
trade. In four pools there are seventy
five pits, and if these close down
over 5000 men will be thrown
out of employment. The depression is the
result of the unreasonable weather and
overstocked markets here and at lower
points. The operators say that there is
no demand for coal and that prices are so
low that they cannot afford to sell. The
miners are much depressed at the turn
affairs have taken, as many, not having
saved anything, will be without the neces-
saries of life.

dispatch from Punta Rassa, Fla, saws:
''The Times Democrat Expedition for the
exploration of the Everglades reached
Lake Okeechobee November 1. We coasted
around the southern shore for nine days,
thoroughly exploring every river and
creek running in the direction of the
Everglades. We discovered and explored
to their source eight rivers, which headed
into the dense swamps bordering on the
glades. On November 10 we selected the
Times Democrat river as the best point
of exit from the lake, and began cutting
our way through the swamp. On the 1lth
we reached the borders of the marsh COM
posed of grass, scrub willow and custard
apple. Our passage through this was
most difficult, and we were unable to
make more than few hundred

YIELDS OF THE FIELDS.
Six Million Bales of Cotton and O+har
Crops in Fair Proportion.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE season
Ior cotton picking since the occurrence of
frosts, as in the gathering OF the bottom
crop, has been quite favorable. The local
estimates Of the aggregate product have
not been diminished, and the tone of gen.
eral comment has been comparatlyelv
hopeful. The indications of the Decem.
Der returns favor a reduction of ahout
10 per cent. from the crop of last wear.
Inc percentage of that crop now indi-
Gated for the harvest of 1888 is as follows:
For Virginia, IS per cent; North Caro-
una. 81; South Carolina, IS; Florida, 95;
Georgia, 81; Alabama, 81; Mississippi.
-; Louisiana, 92; Texas. go: Arkansas,
50; tennessee, 102. This report points to
crop of about 100000 bales. 1t is
possible that the cotton movement of the
year may pass that limit.
CORN.
The returns of corn production are
more conservative than those of October
ana November, from injury to the soft corn
Dy warm, moist weather north of the
1Ortleth parallel. Corn that has been
crlbbed is in worse condition than for MANY
years. The proportion of funmerchantable
corn Is, therefore, large. The final esti-
mate OF the quantity produced will fall
the previous returns, or twenty-three
bushels per acre. This estimate relates
only TO quantity and makes no discount
for inferior quality, which will seriously
increase the practical shortage. The
losses from packing in masses or the in
jury OF soft corn from the mild and wet
weather are treated as after-haryest con-
slderations. An investigation will be
made OF the extent of such injury.
The wheat aggregate slightly exceeds
4OO,OO0,000 bushels.
OATS.
The oat crop is about per cent. larger
than that of last year, and exceeds 800.
600, 900 bushels.
OTHER YIELDS.
The yield of rye and barley is a little
less than in 1882, and buckwheat is re-
duced more than One-third. The Decem-
Der report will include record of the
average prices, which are also indications
of the quantity grown.

Tell Where the SEE, 800 Is.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Col. Boudinot,
the Washington agent of the Cherokee
Nation, has addressed an open letter to
Secretary Teller with reference to the
charges recently made respecting the
misapprOpriation of the Cherokee Indian
award made last winter. In this letter
he says that he will prove, if the oppor-
tunity be afforded him, that the Treas
urer of the Cherokee Nation paid
Ou5 $4,000 of the award Of $500, 900
in fulfillment of a contract made by the
Cherokee delegation with ex-Con ngressman
Phillips, of Kansas, and that Phillips re-
ceiyed the money. Also, that both Phil
lips and the Cherokee delegation repre-
sented to the Cherokee Council that said
$22, 800, although contracted to be paid
Ito William A. Phillips, was not for
his benefit, but was to pay seer
tain high officials in Washington
for their influence in procuring
the appropriation of said $500, 200. and
that Mr.. Phillips, when asked who these
high officials were, gave his interrogatOrs
to understand that such 'high officialsv
were Secretary Teller and Senator Dawes.
Col. BOudinOt also says that somebody
stole that money. 81 know that neither
you nor Senator Dawes ever got a dollar
of it. | believe William A. Phillips did
get it and probably shared it with Others
