Workmen's advocate. (New Haven, Conn.) 1883-1891, 1886-03-14
NOTES..

The knights Of Labor did them
selves credit on the occasion of their
soree last Monday night. 1t was a
grand affair.
Colonel llinton's lecture last Sun
day is still a topic for favorable COM
ment among the Knights. There
are many who want to hear him
again.
Wealth does not imply virtue;
neither would the fact that the
.NearS compositors receive union
prices make them union men. The
fact remains that they helped to at
tempt the reduction of printers
wages.
Sumner and Appleton agreed and
disagreed at The Equal Rights Club
last Sunday. Appleton can't con-
vince the professor that Il farm is
the place for him unless the tnan-
clal returns Of agriculture are more
yolumlnous than those at Yale.
At the time of going to press the
boycott is still in full force as re-
CARDS the'NerS. But by the time
the ADVOCATE reaches its date (Sun-
day. the Ne~S composing room will
be in the hands Of union men. Off
cial notice will be given in the yari-
Gus organizations, and if there is no
"sIlp 'twlxt the cup and the lip"
next weeks ADVOCATE will officially
declare the boycott off.
The German Topographic sustain
ed Il ridiculous notion of the compos-
ltors IN the Philadelphia 7ageJlaH Of
fce, namely, that they had d right
to exercise the powers of censors
over the editorial articles. They
were reasoned with in vain, and by
their action have proved themselves
unworthy of fellowship with union
men, If the reports of the German
labor papers are correct as usual
How about our public library
which the city and the Young
Mems Institute promised the cit
liens? Is it not about time that the
public should have access to the
reading room and library in return
for the money voted for this pur-
pose by their representatives, the
city officials? Some months have
passed since we were informed by
the daily press that this long-necded
object was to be provided.
In another column We print an
article from the Boston HeraW en-
titled " Social Inequality" in which
the writer assists the Albany Jouraai
in the study of social economy in a
manner that is at once ingenious and
! deceptive. The Herald should re-
member that it is not the possession
of natural good qualities that makes
men rich; look over the roll of great
men-mcn of superior ability g
and show us among them accumula.
tors of vast wealth. But the socia
reformer does not base his opinions
upon the success of a few competi
tors in the scramble for wealth
they only exhibit certain kind o
mental ability that is not, from ,

Best GymnasIsn for Girls.

The exercise that is best adapted
10 develop all parts Of the body IN
natural, healthy manner, is do
nestle labor. 1t is always at hand (;
IL can be taken regularly every day,
aud there is such variety that al
most every muscle can be exercised.
Homework should never be c0nsid-
cred mental or degrading; it is ma.
TIRES laboratory in which the girl
may obtain not only the best phys
zeal Development but most valua-
bl knowledge that will fit her for
the duties of life. This training
may be supplemented by other
kinds of exercise, such az walking
and outdoor sports. The very
general introduction Of foreign help
into domestic service has proved
most unfortunate for the health Of
American women.
Closely connected with this neg
lect of physical training at home is
an evil of great magnitude-that is,
supreme devotion to brain work.
The practice pursued very general
~ at the present day of combining
the girl in school or seminary for a
series Of years consecutively is at
ten6ed with the most serious evils.
In the language Of q most popular
writer, ait is educating our girls to
DEATH While we would not dis
card education in all its various de.
partments, extending to the high
est culture, We maintain that it is
no advantage Of blessing if it is to
be obtained at the expense of the
physical system. There are other
parts of the body besides the brain
that need faithful training. The
highest accOmplishm and men
tai acquisitions will not compensate
for impaired constitutions and poor
health.

GATE IN A BARBED WIRE FENCE.
An Iowa correspondent Of the
Germantown Telegram describes
the way in which he makes gate
for occasional use in a barbed wire
fence. The farmer sometimes has
need of a gate in barbgd wire
fence and which is used but sell
dom; he must nevertheless put up
a substantial hinge or slide gate
| have scen good gate put in Il
barbed wire fence with very little
trouble in this manner. Build the
fence without reference to the gate /;
then select the location flor Il gate
and staple the wire securely to the
gate so it cannot slip. Cut the
wire at one of the posts and fasten
the ends to light piece Of wood as
high as the post. Set one end Of
this piece Of wood in a shallow hole
beside the post and place a wire
loop over it and your gate is finish
ed. 1t can be opened in a moment,
and for occasional use is as good as
a hinge gate.
