Butter and Eggs Better than Law.

We listened to the story the other day OF
man who was educated 10 be lawyer. He
tried to practice his profession, but as the
proportion of cases to babies was all against
him, he decided that he could put that smart
little wife of his to some use in the dairy;
so he gave up his profession, hired small
farm dozen miles from New York City,
bought ten or fifteen cows. and went to
Dutter-making. His first wise movement
was TO find private customers for his butter,
which thanks to a smart wife, was of the
finest quality. He soon had it all engaged
at 50 cents pound delivered twice a week.
The demand for this butter at such a price
soon Outgrew his dary's capacity. so he il

while his wife makes it into S0-cent butter
He has now added to his butter trade the
sale OF fresh eggs at five cents piece, each
egg stamped with the date il was laid and
thus guaranteed to be perfectly fresh. This
man says be intends sticking 10 an honest
course of action, and build up trade that
will stay by him, while he is making far
more money than he would have been max
ing If he had stuck 10 the law. There is
nothing novel or intricate about this case.
We have known several of them, but there
should be more imitatOrs. As ii il now. no
one but an expert can tell whether he is

London, Jan. 2l-In the house OF lords
the Duke of AbercOrn moved the address in
reply TO the speech from the throne. He
spoke of the grave responsibilities of those
who directed the affairs of the government,

pire, and that was the state of Ireland. He
mentioned a number Of duties which the
government must perform IN relation to that
country, among which were the maintenance
of the union. the suppression of prosecutions
of which be said the National league was
guilty and the defence of the loyal Irish mi
nority. He said no statesman, whatever he
might be, would sacrifice the interests of the
country.
In the house of commons Mr.. Connolly,
Nationalist member for LOngfOrd. gave no.
lice that he would ask leave to introduce a
bin To amend the Irish land act. This an
nOuncempnt was received by loud cheers
from the Home Rule members.
Mr.. ThOS. O'COnnOT, Nationalist. gave no
tice that he would introduce bill to provide

The CIgarmakers' Strike.

Nine thousand cigarmakers and other
employees OF the league, employed by the
Cigar Manufacturers association i'm New
YORK, are idle. The direct cause of the
trouble is the refusal of the employees Of
Levy Brothers 10 declare their strike
against the new uniform price list off and
return TO work. The employees have banded
themselves together 10 resist this demand.
The strike extends to the cigar-5OX making
trade. When the packers quit work the
number on strike will have been >welled 10
over 10000. The manufacturers claim they
have sufficient stock made up 10 I'LL their
orders for several months to come. The
packers going out. they say. will not deter
them from supplying their customers with
the stock nov made up, but not packet.
President Mccoy OF the Manufacturers
association denied that the firm OF Lichen-
stein Bros had intimated their desire 10
withdraw from the ASSOCIATION. The firm
had told him that they would have no settle
ment with their locked out employees except
through the Cigarmakers' association.
Meetings Of the strikers are being held and
arrangements made for the support of the
men on a strike. The members will be
paid probably 81 or - per week The
strikers say they have enough funds tO hold
cut for six months.
