The Morning Dawneth.

From the Lafayette Star.
Ay, the morning dawneth! The ruddy
dawn of better day for the wageworkers
of America has flashed it's fiery CLEANS
athwart their clouded sky. The first
glimmerings of light from the day when
labor shall be king, have tinged to red
the darkness that has for years hung
like pail over their aspirations after
real, genuine, true freedom. Ay, the
first streaks Of light from the great day,
when labor shall be emancipated, have
shot across the heavens and proclaimed
the coming of the long looked for, long
prayed for, long struggled for time that
is to bring true freedom, proper remu'
neration, and genuine citizenship to the
humblest wageworker who to-day tolls,
and labors and works and slaves for
bare sustenance, while the wealth he
creates is absorbed by unscrupul lous,
over-reaching, cunning men, whose
policy is to regard the human beings
upon whose toll they thrive, as lifeless
feelingless, tireless machines, as beasts,
as cattle, as slaves. The hoarse tones Of
the great iron bell that is to ring in that
day of days, have been heard even now.

Pitkin Endorses Them.

DR.. W J. HORNE, Denver, Colorado.
Dear Sir: My principal business in Pitkin
is mining, aud many suffer from rheum atism.
A party in camp bought one OF your Electric
Belts in San Francisco some two years ago;
he loaned it, to me, and it cured me of a
severe case Of rheumatism Of seve al years
standing. Everybody in the camp knows
mad the rheumatism bad, and how was
cured. Since thtn / have sold several DOZENS
of your electric belts to the miners, many of
whom cannot. praise them too highly since,
they were cured. Several of the m ners want
them, and | will send you an order soon.

claration stating his name, residence,
and occupation, the quantity he desires
to purchase. the use heproposes to make
of it, as well as the date when and place
where he intends to use it, the place
where he means to keep it until using
it, and the mode by which it will be

The Rock "El Oanitan.n

One use of the great rock is that OF
place of shelter. During recent sum-
mer the jarring of slight earthquake
shocks in the Sierras precipitated many
rocks down the mountain sides, and for
time the lives of the miners were much
endangered. DIR. Cuyler asked them:
"What did you do, then" The reply
was: 1--WE took shelter under Ell Capt.
tan. For we thought that if once 81
Captain came down the world would
come to an end" Nor was their con-
fidence misplaced. There it rises. $500
feet high, a mighty mass of granite,
kaning over and sheltering the valley
beneath, but itself linked in back with
the Sierras. Who would not rest safe
in the shadow of such II rockP But, my
brother, we point you to-day to n Rock
mightier than FL Captain. Here is q
shelter which is more secure now, and
will endure when the mountains are
melted with fervent heat. 1t is place
OF shelter often sought-in many lands
for centuries. Who has sought it in
vain?-Rev. r. n. KaSson.

The Water Supplv,

Pure water for household use is of
the greatest value, and the utmost care
should be had that it is pure, because
none other is fit for domestic use.
Everything impure should be kept at q
distance from the well, and it should be
so constructed that no surface water
can get into it. Where well can be
driven it is undoubtedly the best, be-
cause nothing can get into it without
filtering through the ground; it is con-
siderably cheaper, too, than dug well.
In digging we'll people very often
make a mistake in not going deep
enough. 1t is apt to be the case that
soon as vein of water is reached, it is
supposed to be sufficient, even if it is
small, and so after going down far
enough to make little reservoir it is
stoned up, and the result is that the next
summer, perhaps, the well is dry. This
is very annoying, besides being an ex-
pensive job. l speak from experience.
By not digging deep enough the well
fails occasionally, and l contemplate
driving one near by so as to have, I
hope, a never-failing supply. Water is
needed in abundance at the farm build
| ings, and it should be provided some
how, either by springs, well, q cistern.
or else brought from distance in a
pipe. The best time to dig well is
during severe drouth; and if good
vein is then reached, but little fear need
be entertained that the supply will fail
Cisterns should not be constructed un.
der the dwelling, but out of doors.
When making a cistern, be sure and
make it large enough. Undoubtedly
there is water enough falls on the roofs
of farm buildings in the course of the
year to supply the stock with drinking
water, as well as water for all house
hold purposes; and if it is properly fill
tered is it a good deal more wholesome
than much water that is used.-Neu

She Feared Insanity,

A young lady of Chelsea, who had
been shopping in Boston, visited the of
fee of a prominent physician on Satur-
day, says the Boston Herald. She was
flushed and excited, and said she had
very strange sensation which led her to
apprehend some serious brain trouble
in short insanity. The peculiar sensa-
ton she described was feeling running
around in a circle on the top Of her
head. The doctor took off her hat and
examined her head, but found nothing,
and she remarked that the sensation
had left her. She put on her hat, and
after sitting few moments jumped up
with scream, saying that it had come
again. Another examination followed,
first of the head, then of the hat, and
in the hat a small but active mouse was
discovered. If we can only convey the
impression to all ladies who wear large
hats to the theater that they are liable
to be invested by mice, we shall have
earned the thanks of thousands. The
little story is true.

Thought. Ahout Pott.rv.

Verify, the potter hath power over the
clay. Therefore, the clay Is the pot
and the man who makes IL the potter.
Ergo, potest. Refined and scholarly
joke. This style six for dollar. For
% an explanation of this superlative
joke and the Hatokeye for one year viii
be sent TO any part Of the United States
or Canada.
Pottery is the Oldest industry in the
world. Adam was made Of clay. But
he acted as though he was only half
baked. His son Cain did the first kiln
in the country.
The potter works in the mud, hence
we admire his work. His life is one
long act of mudder, but he is never
hanged for 1t, though sometimes he is
broken at the wheel.
All his work, however good, goes to
the fire. What he bakes you cannot
eat, although you eat what the other
baker sets on 1t.
The potter is an aristocrat by nature,
and always belongs to set. To sew
eral sets, in fact.
He is independent, and urns his own
living.
He is base ball star, and makes a
better pitcher than the "only Nolan"
He is no deacon, but he passes the
plate regularly. A rigid temperance
sman, he is fond of his bowl. And he
always makes it go round, too.
There never was but one fluid potter,
and he did not stay fluid long, for he
made cup and saw, sir.
He is always hopeful, for it is his nat
ure to look cup.
He is generous fellow, and what is
his is ewers.
He believes in human equality, and
thinks the law should make claymer
the equals of the clergy.
"Who breaks, pays" must have been
originated by the potter. Although in
these perilous times it is more likely tc
read "Who pays, breaks. s."-Burlingtor

The Mobile Register takes great de-
light in telling this little story at the ex-
pense of Massachusetts,: A very
enjoyable concert was given in small
town in that state recently. Among
the performers was popular tenor
singer, who was announced by the pro-
gramme as prepared to perform, among
other selections, IN "Aria, Sound the
. Alarm by Handel" This he sang
with strong effect, and was Mortified

.paper the statement that he had 'sung,
with great taste and expression, fine
song by Handel, entitled, Maria, Sound

A hsterialiHed Spiritual Manifestation.
Old Mr.. Gluckey Is Just now going
through with q very aggravated case OF
spiritualism. He attends q different
seance every evening, and sits sixteen
hours out Of the twenty-four with his
fingers stretched out on the table and
his eyes fixed on the northeast corner OF
the ceiling. In fact, Mrs. Gluckey finds
him asleep in that position at least
dozen times per diem.
About three o. clock the other morning
Mr.. G. was awakened by a slight noise
In the room. so he sat up and listened.
"Wass-matter" yelled Mrs Gluckey,
turning over.
.'S-s-s-s-hr' said Mr.. G., in whisper.
II heardla noise in the room just now:
Do you know where the matches areP"
perhaps it's your precious spirits"
sarcastically observed his better half.
Mr.. Gluckey thought this a very
reasonable suggestion, indeed; so he
said, softly:
care there any spirits present."
Three affirmative raps.
"Ahl do you hear thatp" and Mr.. q.
triumphantly nudged his spouse.
''Are you in the spirit formP"
One rap.
Then you are malerializedP" said
the old gentleman, much delighted.
Three raps.
"Shall strike lightp"

MOP
Have you communication to
make?"
One rap.
"Are you relative?"
One rap.
"a strangerp'
Three raps.

One very loud rap, followed by
something like materialized chuckle.
II tell you amt going to stand this
any longerr' gasped Mrs. Gluckey.
There's something wrong here" and
in spite of her husbands efforts to pre-
vent her, she fumbled around for the
matches and lit the gas.
AS she did so the insulted spirits van
ished with sound like the bang of a
door. and the gas revealed nothing
whatever-not even Mr.. G.'s vest, con-
tanning his watch and pocketbook, or
Mrs. G.'s jewelry, which had beer lying
on the bureau.
With the absurd stubbornness of her
sex, Mrs. Gluckey insists that the whole
seance was conducted by burglars

Home rule, he said, would never be per-
mitted in Ireland He suggested that the

condemned the idea of paying out the
hard earned funds in English exchequer
for such a purpose unless it could be
shown that the people are capable and
willing to work. Although he could not
say crime had been eradicated, there were
clearly good results from the exceptional

the distress in Ireland could be met from

4DESPER4TE RES OFT.

One of the great stocks in trade of the
"iriends of Window" has been that he
would not leave his post of duty at Wash
ington to secure reelection. He was to
look calmly and dignifedly on from his
palatial residence in Washington
while his henchmen gave him another six
years pull at the public teat. The Win
dom organs assumed lofty air of virtue
owe rthis and fell to abusing Mr.. DunneH
numerically, because he took a hand
in the senatorial fight. That
convenient lick spittle, Pat Child, offered
resolutions of censure upon Mr.. Dunnell
in the house because he was taking part in
the senatorial contest.
Now ''the friends of Window" have sum-
moned him in hot haste from Washington
and he is coming to st. Paul as rapidly as
steam can carry him. He is ex.
pected to bring a fresh barl and
will promise the offices ten deep all
over the state. 1t will be curious to see
how potential the presence of the "Christi.
an statesman" with his bar'l attachment
will be. The theory of the friends is
that he can win back all who have left him
1t does not seem to have occurred to
them that no man who has left the Win
dom standard can return without publicly
advertising that he has been induced te
change by cash or promise of Office.
Mr.. Window comes too late. The men
who have left his cause do not wish to wear
the brand which their return would indi
cate. He can be set down as dead duck
and DESERVING his post at Washington al
the eleventh hour will not save him,
His eyes are sot.
