WHAT THE SOCIALISTS SAST.

| A proclamation to the working men

 aFellow vorkmeD, you see every where | tba employers violate most brutallT even inc civil rights of the employed; yoU see | how they compel the wOrkmen Co give ur, their own organizations by threaten | ing them with all the terroTs Of hunger and misery, how they frequently fry e., | soyy bloody dissensiOns among the work ing men themselves, and oppose tEec lust demands with force of arms; l0 2 see how iu all these exceSses they Es'- supported by a government that 1o-0T exists only in the interest of the ruIlis classes; by the police, and when neces

 know. also. how these classes, well
 trained to all the tricks of political cor
 ruption, have always known how Co
 faisify the alleged will Of the people ex- presEed by the polls. Under these con
 ditions we must expect that our enemies, when they see our power increase in 60 ,J,.eTtui and legal way. and are eF-
 proaching victory, will on thei- part become rebels, just ns Ohce did the shareholders, and that then the time Will come for the cause of labor, when the all prime lever of all revolutions-f0rce effective as long as mankind is stiil in a half-barbarOus state be ap- piled in order to place the working masses in control of the state, which then for the first time will be represent atives, not of few privileged classes, but of all societies.
 "fhe sOeialistie labor party has fog years recognized and proclaimed tl.s development of affairs, and 1t IS highly satisfactory to see that other organiZs- tiOns are embracing these views. We surely do not participate m the folly 0f those men who consider dynamite bombs the best means of agitation to produce the greatest revolution that ever tran spired in the social life Oi mankind.
 Fellow wOrkmen, the way tO our end Is not an easy one, but there IS no other, and there Is no hope for you or your children unless you choose that way. But before you attain your ultimate gOal you can improve your condition, or at least prevent it from getting worse. We address these words tO you a. a mo mentOus time. All signs tend Co show that terrible crisis IS again approach iuR-a crisis which will rage frightfully iH the ranks of the wOrkingmeu. lJ not hesitate; lose not minute ere the deepest misery saps your vital strength, rendering yOu pOwerless for any resist ance. Misery and oppression threaten you more and more every day, that is certain, but only your own power vIu save you"

1t Was Past Telling.
Detroit Free Press

There was a suit before a Justice of the
Peace the other day, in which a citizen Of
the suburbs attempted to make out that
he had been swindled in a horse trade
The defendant had warranted the horse
reasonably sound for beast of his age"
and the age was given at Is years.
"Did you give the animals age at
1872" was asked of the defendant.
Il gave it as about 49,"
"What did you mean by reasonably
sound for his ageT'
Il meant that he had one leg on which
there were no ringbones or spaVins. and
he could see pretty well out of one eye.''
Chow old do you believe the horse to
be?'
''Not over 10; but / will leave that to
His Honor and the jury"
1t was agreed to adjourn to the alley
and inspect the beast. They found the
horse leaning up against the wall, head
down and eyes full of tears, and His Honor
put the age down at "A. Each of the Jury
man had a look at the horses teeth and
eyes and feet, and they were firm in their
figures, which ranged from II to 40 years
of age. When the counsel for the plain
tiff discovered this he said:
"Your Honor, desire to withdraw from
record everything relating to the horses
are"
"Why?"
because, when a man like your Honor
can't tell whether a horse is fifteen or
hundred years old, and jury of intelIi-
gent citizens can't distinguish ringbOne
from SPAWN, the defendant can't be
blamed for throwing in a sore back and

And we rest our case solely upon the
fact that we were drunk when we made
the trade, and that the defendant knew it
and took advantage of u.s."

A Graduate of the Detroit High School
Who Went West.

One day lately was sitting in the ho-
tel at Spokane Falls, idly watching the
group of takers as they grew earnest over
the gold of C9ur d'Alene or the lands of
the Big Bend country. Suddenly / be-
came aware of disagreeable presence,
and, turning my eyes as much as could
without seeming to lock up, saw very
dirty man, with a rank growth of reddish
beard, battered hat, and heelless boots.
He was half daZed by the bright light
of the room. coming in from the dark
ness outside, and was moving back
and forth in his endeavOr to focus his
eyes upon some one. No one seemed
to note him as a specially uncOm-
mon sight, but there was an apparent I'M
spoken resolve to ''give him this shake"
He felt the combination against himself,
but was toe drunk to back out, and pres
emily fixed his stare upon two we'll
dressed men, shook his dirty finger at
them. and said: ''There's lots of it there!
Brainsl brains! but no education nor
money to back them up-nothing to back
them up!' and he slapped his own empty
pocket to emphasize his estimate of the
men he pointed at. This would have been
embarrassing anywhere but in Western
town. Nobody paid the slightest at
tention to him, and he gradu-
ally worked up within him
self something like chagrn. "All
right all rightr' said he, in an injured
tone. 81 was once the associate of gentle
men. Pm a member of the Idaho Legis-
lature, and you needn't be afraid OF me.
Pm well educated-graduated at the De-
troit High School. Now Pm only old
Jim'-nO accOunt-dOwn-dr
men won't talk with me-" The proprietor
of the hotel came up and asked him to be
quiet. "NO," said he, ''you can't keep a
member of the Idaho Legislature quiet;
but, goodbye, goodbye. Gentlemen
won't have anything to do with me any
MORE" And with this half sad, half
drunken adieu he went out into the night.
OF course it was his own fault. 1t was
no wonder no one would be bored by
talking with him. 1 try to be kind-heart-
ed in such matters, and | wouldn't be
bored by him; but, somehow it struck
me that such treatment Is what helps to
make robbers and ruffians. 1t is easy to
understand that such q fellow should
grind his teeth and resolve himself into
an ayenging minority. He could not very
well love his fellow man. There is no
reason why he should hate him, except
that his whole downward course would
turn all his nature into gall.
One man in the room remarked: ''Did
you notice that no one in the room laughed
at his wit?'' (meaning his allusion to the
difficulty in keeping member of the
Idaho Legislature quIet). 81 didn't
laugh" the stranger continued, ''for the
reason that once l had an uncle who got
drunk and acted in that way, to the NOR
LITIGATION of the whole family, and l guess
pretty much every one Of us has some
drunken kin back in the States some
where"
The remark struck me as a curious one
not a bad generalization. Every man
has enough to think of that is unpleasant,
if he stops to think it all over; and, as
was said, most of them had drunken kin
enough to knock the fun out of such
scene as this

PICTORIAL ART IN JAPAN.
Novel Decorations in POttery-SOcial
characteristics of the Race.

Baltimore Day.
Prof Z. S. Morse gave the fifth lecture
of his course ON "Life in Japan" at the
Peabody Wednesday night. A partial
exposition of Japanese ceramics and pic
tOrial art was the theme for the evening.
The Japanese, said Prof. Morse, are
most selt-contrOlled people and in their
country it is considered illbred to display
feeling of any kind. A Japanese will
laugh at an angry foreigner, and will
treat him as we do APPELLANT child. This
self-cOntrol is everywhere apparent in the
decoration of japanese pottery, and is the
factor which makes their designs difficult
to understand. Think OF beginning and
ending piece of decoration with spray
OF grass or a sprig of cherry blossom!
The Japanese pottery that one sees out
side of Japan with few exceptions is made
to suit foreign tastes and is always more
deliberately finished than that which is
made for domestic use. One never sees a
china teacup and saucer in Japan, such
being always made to sell to the "barbar-
ians," as they call us. Their saucers, if
they may be called that, are fiat and are
usually made of wood of of metal. Vases
for their own use are never made in pairs,
and dinner plates or trenchers are made
only for export. The celebrated floral
Satsuma ware, which is so much sought
after by collectors, and is usually repre-
scented as being of vast age, is not over
eighty or ninety years old. The genuine,
moreover, is rarely in large pieces, and is
never decorated with reliefs or raised pat
terms of any kind.
The employees of a Japanese pottery con-
sist usually of man anu his wife and child
rem, it being a rare thing to employ out
siders. The tools the potters use are very
rude and the output from kiln is but a
few hundred pieces a week, which amount
in value to about $1,000 year. A Japa-
nese potter ranks with the upper classes
and is always a man offine mental ability
and of artistic taste. This fact and to the
so-called "tea ceremonies may be traced
whatever is chaste and beautiful in Japa-
nese ceramics. japanese pictorial art is
equally wonderful and requires years of
patient study on the part of him who
would understand it, Their fine pictures
are never displayed on the walls as with
us, but are rolled up and kept in boxes.

The Fate of a Gambler.



The statement that SignOr Garcia, the
heaviest trente ct qudrdnte player of mod
ern, or, perhaps, any other times, is about
to enter monastery, should stir up recol-
lectiOns of many other worldlings besides
myself. l remember him well in the old
days at Baden-Baden and Homburg-the
days of Hastings, Huntingtower and
Wyndham of Felbrigg-and when there
were a-many trying to break the bank,
though he alone succeeded. This he
did on more than one occasion
Che having a special and increased
limit, and once saw him hand over 50,-
600 francs to a charity after he had done
so-a charity for which, by the
way, Patti was both singing and giving
her money. AT Homburg he carried all
before him, and, as the late Mr.. Merry re-
marked, ''shut the tables up like tele-
scopes" Two or three years back, sitting
at a table outside the cafe de la PaiX in
Paris, a wretched and half starved look
ing man took the chair next to mine, and,
on looking at him, l recognized Garcia.
He, however, got up in the world again
afterward.

Grapes in Winter.


There are two essential requisites in
keeping grapes in winter, the most impor-
tant of which, and requiring attention all
the time. is a low temperature. Well
ripened grapes will bear Il few degrees be-
low freezing point without injury. and if
constantly at this temperature may be
kept into spring. The apartment should
therefore be one which may be freely VEN
tilated, admitting cold air when the
weather is freezing, and shutting out
warm air when it becomes milder. A
thermometer is essential in the fruit room,
and another outside, in order to point out
when the windows or ventilatOrs should
be kept open or shut. The other requisite
is fully matured and well-ripened berries,
the rich juice of which is not easily frozen
when cold, and which will preserve the
berries from drying up or decay. Poorly
grown and badly ripened fruit will rot or
wilt much sooner than such as has been
we'll grown. Some varieties are better
keepers than others, but continuously
cold temperature will cause any fruit to
keep a long time. The packing Is less
important than cold, hence sawdust or
other nOn-cOnducting substance in which
to imbed the grapes is chiefly useful in
maintaining a uniform temperature. A
convenient packing is placing the grapes
in rather shallow boxes, tapering smaller
at the bottom, this form preventing the
fruit pressing on the under layers if the
boxes are not too wide.

A Fortune of the Future.


There was an interesting paIlor on the
brow of brawny boOtblack who stood on
Madison street bathed in the radiance of
broken street-lamp. His box of brushes
dangled airily from a strap which he held
in his grimy left hand. His equally grimy
right hand was doubled up into a fist
which looked very much like well-prO-
pOrtiOned cObble-stone. This belligerent
member he diligently shook very close to
the nose of a much smaller bootblack who
held the reins of a handsome bay horse
attached to light sleigh. There was an
uneasy look in the eye of the little fellow.
The stony knuckles which were f1Ourished
in front of him seemed to render him a
trifle dissatisfied with his surroundings.
He shrank back timidly as his big enemy
beloved:

"Wait till l see how much get out of

air of fine diplomacy.

gressive bootblack. eyer goin' ter say

''Better take care" cautioned the molli-
fed bully, with a dangerous wag of his
head. Eyer talk we'll enough, but yer
mustn't go fer ter playin' no tricks"
'Ah, my good little boy" said a CHEEKY

just then, you have kept my horse safe

Phi let you hold my horse again. It's a
real pleasure to meet such an honest little
fellow. / shouldn't wonder if you came
to be a rich man some day. Goodbye,
my boy"
The smiling owner of the sleigh had
driven off, leaving the small bootblack
empty-handed. The big boy glared fero-
ciOusly at the defrauded little chap, and
began again to wag his head and display
his stony fist.
Eyer SIGH a sucker that I'll have ter lick

''Oh, soak your head. l never saw a
