Probable Strike of Coal Miners.

CLEARy1ELD, Pa, March 30.-The an
nounoement that the miners of bitumin-
ous coal would reduce the price of min
ing next Tuesday has caused much ex-
element. A prolonged strike of fully
10, 600 miners will almost certainly re-
suit if carried out. The operators assert
that the reduction is demanded by the
state of trade. The miners say it is I'M
necessary and arbitrary. 1t is not GER
tain but that the strike will extend to
the northern end of Clearield county.
Operators expect trouble, and have ar
ranged for large forces of extra police.

on the bench may well inquire whether
the protection of the criminal has not
assumed disproportionate importance in
our criminal procedure. If, in our fear
lest an innocent man may suffer, the law
itself, which is the only protection of in
nocent men, becomes utterly paralyzed,
then there is a call for a revision Of our
methods and our maxims, and the in
fusion of a new spirit into our laws.
Every judge who will brush aside the
hair splitting devices of the lawyers, and

He realized that if he had been neg
lected by his playmates, it was only be-
cause he had not made himself as agree
able as he might have done, and, more
strongly than anything else, was he i'm
pressed with his fathers wisdom in re-

privileges he thought Charlie Stetson
had enjoyed. He came to know that
even sitting up late at night is not good

Slow, but Sure.

The old Hebrew idea of a man of
honor is set forth in the Psalmist's
words: "He that sweareth to his own
hurt, and changeth not" We express
the same idea by our phrase: '.His
word is as good as his bond"
A man who would merit the applica-
ton OF these epithets to himself should
be careful to heed these old savings:
''Make few promises" and: Never
promise more than you are able to per-
FORM
There are men of business, men
among those that scorn to tell lie, de-
liberal ely, who seldom heed this wise
advice. They allow the press of BUSH
ness, or the desire to retain an impa-
tient customer, to tempt them to make
promises which they are unable to keep
either to the ear or to the hope. Such
men generally find that their exped;ents
stamp them as unreliable. In the long
run, the man who is cautious in prom
ising, but faithful in performance, is
the one whom success welcomes.
a few years ago, lad entered q
printingol1ice in England, as an APP
prentice. He was slow in his move
ments, and the irritated foreman often
scolded him for not working rapidly.
During rush of work, the foreman
would call out, impatiently:
Bob, how soon aCiU you have that
job done?"
in an hour, sir" or: ''Not before
two hours and q half, sir" would be
the calm but provoking reply.
The other boys, when asked q SINH
lar question, would reply:
''In few minutes, Sir" and thereby
soothe the Impotence of the hurrying
foreman.
But the overseer was not blind.
though he was nervous and ''driver."
He noticed that Bob's job was always
finished at the promised time. The
other boys, on the contrary, were never
up to time; for their almost ready,
sir" meant nothing more than their
anxiety to avoid a scolding. ;
The result was that Bob became the
trusted boy of the office, and was al
lowed to take his own time in working
cut his task. He carried out this habit
of doing exactly what he said he would
along with him when he was promoted.
To-day, the ''slow'' boy of ten years
ago is the foreman of the office and
oversees one hundred men, Y0uth'S,

And the violets HE'D them from many a nook,
To see their sweet faces within the cool

gold,
And the white starry daisies began to unfold
Yet the little brook ran on its way to the sea.
On and on, day by day, through the fiowery

The tender green willows their soft shadows

And the tall stately flag showed blossoms of

The ORIGIN Of Dixie.

On q Saturday night in 1859, when
Dan Emmett was q member of Bry-
ants Mnstrel's, New York, Dan Bry-
ant came to him and said: 'Dan, can't
you get us up walk around p want
something new and lively for Monday
night" Dan went to work, and by
Sunday afternoon he had the words
commencing, 81 wish | was in Dixie :"
This expression was not Southern, but
appeared among the circus people of
the North. In early fall, when nipping
frosts would overtake the tented wan
derers, the boys would think of the
warmth of the South, and the common
expression would be, "Well, l wish |
was in Dixie" This gave the catch.
line, and the rest of the song was origi-
nal. On Monday morning it was
rehearsed and highly commended, and
at night a crowded house caught up the
refrain, and half of them went home
singing Dixie. The song became the
rage, and w. w. Newcomb's Buckley
Minstrels and others gave Dan five dol
lars each for the privilege of using it, Mr..
Werlean wrote to Emmett to secure the
copyright; but, without waiting for a
reply, published it with words by Mr..
Peters. Pond, of New York, secured it
from Emmett for 5000; but Werlean
sold thousands of copies without Civ
ing him nickel. Not only was EN-
met robbed of the profits of his song,
but the authorship of it was disputed.
Will S. Hayes claimed it as his own.
Pond brought the matter before q
music publishers convention, and set
tied the authorship; but Dan reaped no
benefit from this tardy justice. OAK

Cotton Thread.

Here lie heaps of snowy cotton wool
as it has been opened out of the bales in
which it was carried across the Atlantic.
Take up tuft of the wool and examines
it. The tibers lie in all directions andi
are apparently in state OF hopeless en-
tan9lement. 1t is evident that before
they can be formed into thread they
must be brought to something like
parallel order. Accordingly we find
that the first business to which the cot
ton spinner applies himself is to give
the fibers the needful parallel arrange
ment. This he does by means Of a
machine known as a carding engine.
This consists of a series of drums or
cylinders, covered with fine wire spikes. /
AS the wool is passed through between
the cylinders the spikes catch the fibers
and draw them straight. After this
operation has been repeated a sufficient
number of times the wool is drawn off
in the form of soft rope about the
thickness of ones finger. As yet it has
received no twist and consequently has
to be dealt with tenderly. The rope of
tibers, having been wound upon large
bo5bins, is taken to the first of the series
of spinning machines, by which it is,
drawn out and slightly twisted into a
cord of about the thickness of e quill. /
This cord is then passed to another ma
chine, which draws it out still farther,
and gives it some more twist. After it
has been brought to the desired degree
of finenesS by operations such as these, !
it receives the final drawing and twist
ing on the spinning mule, most COM
plicated place of mechanism.
So far we have only got u single yarn
toward the formation of a thread, and
we must follow that yarn to the doub-
ling machine. Before being placed on
the machine, however, the yarn has to
be passed rapidly through a gas flame,
in order to burn off the loose ends of
fiber. Were this not done the finished
thread would have a rough exterior,
and would not be so easy to sew with.
Two lengths of yarn are now twisted
together, and then three of these double
filaments are formed into thread.
The thread is reeled off into hanks, and
in that form is either bleached or dyed.
as may be desired. All that is now
necessary to do is to polish the thread
by passing it between rollers having a..
peculiar molten, and to wind it upon
the bobbins on which it is sent to mar

When the fire companies arrived at
the scene of the fire yesterday morning
they found that their services were not
needed, and when the water was turned
on the nozzlemen sent the stream flying
into the air. Making a graceful curve
it fell with a ''swish'' on the roof of a
little cabin near by, and at the end of
about five minutes a plank window in
the cabin was pushed open and the
lady of the house stuck her head out to
expostulate. "Hi, dar, you mems what $

in plaintive tones. "My ole mans

the hose turned the water in another

plank shutter closed, and the inmates
of the leaky little ark were left to their
repose. - Charlotte IN. C.) Observer.

Royalty in the Composing Room.

1t was my destiny once to engage the
deceased Prince Leopold, Duke of AL
bany, in a long conversation, writes y
London correspondent. In the fall OF
1879 Prince Leopold, accompanied by
his former tutor, Canon Duckworth,
visited the office of one Of the largest
of the London morning newspapers, on
the staff of which | was at that time
employed. | was deputed by the pro-
prietors to show the Prince over the
building, task which occupied about
three hours; for the Prince not only de-
sired to see everything that was to be
seen there. but to have it explained tc
him in detail. The poor old canon be.
came quite wearied of the inspection
and once or twice limited at the pro
priety of quitting, until the Prince
told him plainly that he was not dis.
posed to hurry. When passing through
the composing room, the Prince dumb
founded one of the compositorS by
asking him for the loan of his compos,
ing-stick. OF course the Princes re,
quest was at once complied with, when
his Royal Highness proceeded to still
further astonish the typos by setting two
or three lines from a page of manu-
script which lay on the case. 1t was
evident that the Prince was perfectly
acquainted with the arrangement of the
cases and could compose type with
ease.
Court etiquette requiring that no one
who has not been officially introduced
shall put any question to any royal
parsonage, i was precluded asking for
the explanation l so ardently desired to
have. Noticing, suppose, my puzzled
expression, the Prince proceeded to en-
tighten me. He had learned practical
printing, he said, when young boy, at
his uncle's in Germany, and had spent
five weeks at the task.
There is no historic custom in the
royal family of England, as there is in
that of Germany, requiring every
prince to go through the farce of pre-.
tending to learn trade, hence Prince
Leopold's knowledge of printing must
have been voluntarily acquired. That
the late Duke of Albany was an ac-
complished linguist and musician was
generally known, but think it has
been reserved for me to publish, for the
first time, that to his other acquire
ments must be added the art of the
compositor. London Letter.
