A Knowing Dog.

Setter Van, of Macon, Ga, is we'll
known as one of the best bird dogs of
the land; but now he has immortalized
himself. His master was exercising
him in a field where drove of cattle
was grazing, and Van came to point
in beautiful form. While his master
was walking slowly NJ, enjoying the
sight, big bull walked out from the
drove and advanced upon the motion
less dog with great confidence. To his
astonishment the dog didn't stir. The
bull stopped, looked surprised, and
took few more steps. Then he
stopped and looked and again advanced,
and by degrees he reached the dog aud
brushed the extended tail with his nose.
Then V an gave evidence of being alive by
curling the tail deftly between his legs,
but otherwise remained as motionless
as craven image. The bull, somewhat
emboldened by this success, apparently
still in doubt, slowly put his horns un-
der Vans hind legs and carefully lifted
them a couple of feet from the ground.
Van never finched. Just then the
birds arose and tho master fred, where
upon the dog turned on that bull with
fury, and chased him until he had fully
avenged the insult.-Hdtchet.

India. Rubber Gathered in Colombia.

When the hunter has found a rubber
tree, he first clears away space from
the roots, and then moves on In search
of others, returning to commence opera
ton as soon as he has marked all the
trees in the vicinity. He first of all
digs a hole in the ground hard by, and
then cuts in the tree q V-shaped in
cision with machete, as high as he
can reach. The milk is caught as it
exudes and fowi into the hole. As
soon as the flow from the cut has
ceased the tree is chopped down, and
the trunk raised from the ground by
means of an improvised trestle.
After placing large leaves to catch
the sap, gashes are cut throughout the
entire length, and the milk carefully
collected. When it first exudes, the
sap is of the whiteness and consistence
of cream, but it turns black on expo
sure to the air. When the hole is filed
with rubber, it is coagulated by adding
hard soap or the roots of the mechvacan,
which have O most rapid action, and
prevent the escape of the water that is
always present in the fresh sap. When
coagulated sufficiently, the rubber is
secured by bark thongs, carried on the
back of the hunter to the bank of the
river, and foated down on RATS.
The annual destruction of rubber
trees in Colombia is very great, and
the industry must soon disappear alto
gether, unless the government puts in
force law that already exists, which
compels the hunters to tap the trees
without cutting them down. If this
law we're strictly carried out, there
would be good opening for CONNER
cial enterprise, for rubber trees will
grow from to 10 inches in diameter
in three or four years from seed. The
trees require but little attention, and
they begin to yield returns sooner than
any other. Those that yield the great
est amount of rubber flourish on the
banks of the Simu and Aslato Rivers.
The value of the crude India-rubber i'm
ported into the States annually is about
$40, 900, 900.

M. CHARLES GIRARD. chemist OF
Paris, recently amused himself by in
vestigation of theingredients of beau
tiful red currant Jelly charmingly put
up for export to the United States.
There was not an atom of fruit in the
mass, as was demonstrated by the add
ing to it of methylated alcohol, which
would have turled it green had it con-
tanned any fruit acid. It was found to
consist of gelatine, sweetened with
glycerine residue colored with pichsine
Ia poisonous mineral extract), and
favored with no one knows what. A
great many people in this country i'm
agine no currant jelly so good rs that
which is imported from France.

VOLUME VIII.
BIZ n. II. T.


Living friendly, feeling friendly,
Acting fairly to all men,
Seeking 70 do that 70 others
They may do to me again;
Hating no man, scorning no man
Wrongng none by word or deed
But forbearing, soothing, serving.
Thus live and this my creed
Harsh oondemning, fierce confirming
Is Of little human use
One soft word Of kindly peace
Is worth torrent of abuse;
Calling things bad, calling men bad
Adds but darkness to their night;
II thou wouldst improve thy brother,
Let thy goodness be his light
have felt, and know how bitter
Human coldness makes the world
Ev'ry bosom round me frozen,
Not an eye with pity pearl'd;
Still, my heart, with kindness teeming,
Glads when other hearts are glad;
And my eyes a tear-drop fndeth
At the sight OF others sad.
ALL be kind-life hath no secret
For our happiness like this
Kindly hearts are seldom sad ones
Blessing ever bringeth bliss.
Send helping hand to others,
Smile, though all the world should frown
Man Is man, we are ell brothers,
Black or white, or red or brown.
Man is man. through all gradations,
Little recks it where he stands
How divided into nations
Scattered over many lands;
Man is man, by form and feature,
Man by vice and virtue, too
Man, in all one common nature,
Speaks and binds us brothers true.

Boston.

Four thousand men-carpenters, paint

The Could Strike at AN End.

The great strike on the Gould system Of
railroads has been declared off, and the
idle employees of the road will endeavor to
regain their old situations. This result,
says st. Louis dispatch, has been brought
about by the efforts of the citizens COM
mittee, appointed about three weeks ago,
which has been in constant communication
with the Executive Board of the Knights of
Labor and the Curtin Congressional Investi-
eating Committee, which recently made a
formal request to the Knights to bring the
strike to conclusion.

Pittsburgh.

At Pittsburgh about 5000 men are on
q strike. They are the stoRemasons, the
plasterers, the carpenters, and furniture
makers. The stonemasons want 1925 per
day for nine hours work, instead of $3.50,
which they have been receiving, for ten
hours work. The plasterers ask for nine
hours work every day except Saturday,
when it shall be eight, and no reduction in
wages from those paid for ten hours labor.
Carpenters demand reduction of working
hours from ten to nine, wages to remain the
same.

One thousand men employed in the
shops Of the Michigan Car Company quit
work at Detroit. There seemed to be no
organization, and there was some little con-
fusion as to the demands, butt all amount
ed to less work for the same pay. Some
wanted nine and others eight hours work
for ten hours wages.

Serious Riot in Chicago.

A very serious outbreak in connection
with the lator troubles in Chicago occurred
at The great Mccormick Reaper Factory on
the afternoon of the Sd inst. About 1000
strikers gathered in some open lots near the
works. They consisted largely of en-
ployes Of lumber yards and planning mills.
Most of the men were Germans, Bohemi-
ans, and Poles. A rather tough"
locking individual addressed the crowd
from an empty beer keg in Ger
man, and other speakers delivered
harangues in Bohemian and Polish.
All speeches were of an infammatory char
acter, SUCH as the Anarchists delight to in
dulge in. Their words did not fail to have
an effect upon the ignorant, excitable audi
ence, many of whom were under the in1u-
ence of beer. When the Anarchist leaders
thought that the excitement had been
wrought up to sufficiently high pitch,
one fellow exclaimed, pointing to
the buildings of the Mccormick works:
"Do you see that bastile of monopoly?
Now is the time for you to wrest it from the
hands of your oppressors!" The crowd set
up an approving howl and Immediately be-
gan moving toward the factory, arming
themselves on the way with bricks and clubs.
When they reached the big gate, the work.
ingmen were just emerging from it.
They were greeted with yells of
"Scab" and "Rats," and bombarded
with stones. The surprised work.
ingmen beat hasty retreat, but the mob
followed them into the yard. The men
ing was demolished. When the police in
terfered they were pelted with stones and
fred upon. Two hundred officers were
rushed to the scene as fast as horses could
draw the patrol wagons, and a short,
sharp battle between the police and the
rabble followed. A number of the mob
were shot, but were carried away by their
friends, so that their names might not be
obtained. A dozen policemen were hurt.
The officers finally succeeded in driving the
men away. A crowd of about $50 sheet
metal workers undertook to compel the
suspension of work at the tin can factory of
Norton Brothers, in River street, but
we're frightened off by the police.
The butchers employed by Swift &
Co., at the Stock Yards, we're forced
by a mob to quit work. The managers of
the railways met at the Burlington .offi"G,S,
and resolved 70 at u5 unit In refusing all
demands for higher wages or shorter hours.
An attempt was made at the various yards
TO handle freight with new men, but con-
siderable difficulty was experienced. The
men in Armours packing house are to re-
ceive ten hours pay for eight hours work.
Between 400 and 500 women employed in
Chicago tailorshops went on strike for
better wages and shorter hours.
