Huxley on Agnosticism-

Huxley, the inventor of the term,
declares agnosticism is the essence OF
science, whether ancient or modern.
at simply means that a man shall not
saw he knows or believes that which
he has no scientific grounds for pro-
Tossing to know or believe. Conse-
quently, agnosticism puts aside not
only the greater part Of popular the
ology, but also the greater part OF
popular anti-theology. On the
whole, the book of heterodoxy Is
more offensive to me than that of or
thodoxy, because heterodoxy profess
es to beguided by reason and science
and orthodoxy does not. The thee
logical gnosis would have us believe
that the world is a coniurer's house

Detachable Points for Picks.
nonenOn.

Mr.. Ray, miner who came from
Tuscarora, New, some time ago,
has invented new pick which has
detachable points, similar to the du-
plicate teeth inserted in saws. Here
tofore prospectors have been compeil-
ed to carry several picks, besides tax
ing a blacksmithing outfit along,
when starting on their trips. In flu
ture, by using this pick, they need
only carry a few points along, and
may thus be enabled to not only re-
main in the hills much longer than
heretofore, but to travel with much
smaller packs.
This new tool is patented, and ar
rangements will be made at onc'
with Haley hardware house for 1t
manufacture and sale.

A Great Labor Organization.
Scranton (Pa. }. Truth.

scranton tFa.l Truth
The reelection of Hon. T. " Powderly of
this CITY, to the exalted Office of General Master
Workman of the Knights of Labor, the strongest
and most conservative organization of working
men ever effected, is an honor of which any rep
resentatiye of toll might well feel proud The
knights of Labor now number 3, 500 local as
semblies and have a. membership Of over 500. 600
in this country The order has made, great
progress in numbers and influence since Mr..
Powderly was first elected its chief officer in
1879, and it has exerted most wholesome effect
in the peacefuf adjustments Of disputes arising
from time to time between capital and labor. II
differs from all transatlantic organizations in
this respect: While the Eafropean societies re-
gard capital as an enemy that will take Whah-
ever it has the power to hold and from which
it is Figh6 to wiring all possible concessions,
the American Knights of Labor look upon
capital as one Of the great essential
which it is Important that labor, the right arm
of the Na1ions wealth, should be on terms of
friendship The main point sought to be estab,
lished BY this great organization, we under
stand it, is that Justice shall animate capital and
labor in their dealings with another.
so that neither shall be the slave of the other but
that the rights Of all shall be respected and that
no advantage may be taken ON anyside. The
recent amicable adjustment of differences be-
tween employers and employed IN the glass trade
of the country shows that this idea is not uto-
MAN or impractical and Mr.. P0wderly has played
a monument part in the harmonious solution Of a
dispute thai threatened much bitterness at one
time He has always shown himself prudent
conservative. head Of the order that has elected
him general master workman for the fifth time in
succession, and as he is only in his thirty fitch
year and leads a STRICTLY abstemious life, ii is

NOT all, of said correspondents, do write the

How to Dress the, Hair.

New York Evening Post.
There are two ways of arranging the coiffure
for those who dress the hair high on the head.
One fashion is; Divide the hair into three sepae
rate strands then arranging them into three
French twists instead of one In the old way
Each twist is coiIed very tightly, the one in, the
centre coils from left to right and the other two
roll away from the temples and throat never
coiling toward the face. Below these on either
side, and just behind the ears, little stray wisps
of hair are left, shading the neck above the coli
lar in the ARREST of zephyr curls. The other
mode is to coil one heavy French twist, taking
the long ends which remain, after this part Of
the couture is arranged. and forming them into
four horse shoe looms which in Loose wayy
softening the severe angular lines of the twist
on each side, for half the, way down. The back
portion Of the twist. above the nape of the neck,
is left unadorned Nothing in the way of low
hair dressing has as yet taken the place of the
Langtry coil, in the way of beeomingness or
easy grace. ShortcPopped hair, laid in loose
curls all over the head is still in fashion, and is
likely to remain SO for some time to come,

PETTY GAMBLING

Written for the Indianapolis Journal
The day of small things has not yet passed
away; life is still made up of comparatively
trifIng details, and the wickedness Of the world
is still, for the most part an aggregationof petty
evils.

article, Three Dangers, in the August number
of the Century, calls gambling in margins the
corruption of the blood and in comparison
with this worst form Of the gambling evil de
Rominates all minor forms ''pimples on the skin. y
But pimples on the skin indicate the corruption
Of the blood, while they may at the same time
be sort of outlet for the corruption. Minor
forms of gambling, however, not only indicate a
particular Kind of corruption in the social body,
but, like ulcers which poison the blood, are per-
haps the chief cause Of the most dangerous form
Of the corrupeions
Business gambling is without doubt a pecu-
LARRY tempting evil; it promises large and easily
made fortunes, and the sin in it is obscuTed by
the dazzling glamour Of eminent respeetabiEty.
Yet it is difficult to believe that men Of high
moral sense ever yield to its seductiens Some
may be led to do so through the strong pressure
of circumstances or sudden temptation In
most cases the probabilities are that the ten

veIoped in early youth
