THE LEGISLATURE.

The Legislative Assembly YESTERDAY
managed to finish the second reading OF
the Appropriation bill, after protracted
debate upon the general sections, and a
few additions to the items. The Opposi-
ton made several attempts to load the
bill with amendments tending to throw
discredit upon the Government, and to
insult the King. These were promptly
rejected, and only rational and proper
amendments were inserted in the bill.
Our report of the days doings gives a
fair idea Of the action of the Opposition
IN this particular, so that details are I'M
necessary in this place Indeed, comment
IL almost unnecessary, so absurd were
some of these amendments. For
example, Mr.. Thurston wanted to make
the estate of the Minister of Finance
liable for any expenditure in excess of
appropriation, while Mr. Dickey sought
to impose a penalty of twice the sum so
expended, to be recovered from the Min
lister OF Finance by summary process be-
fore any Police or District Judge.
The malice of these propositions is
transparent; their improperly is equally
clear. In the first place, the Constitu-
ton provides remedy for the offense in
Question, and it rests with the Legisla-
ture either to indemnify or to impeach
Ministers. Mr.. Thurston would not
trust the Legislature to act in the
public interest when such a question
arose, but would take it out of
Its hands and transfer the issue to the
Courts under civil process, thereby multi
lying the Constitution. Mr.. Dickev
being of an inferior grasp of mind to
Mr.. Thurston, but actuated by similar
spirit, would make a police matter of
what the Constitution contemplates
dealing with only by impeachment. OF
course the House rejected both amend
ments, but a great deal of time was
wasted in their discussion.
In the forenoon Mr.. Dole introduced a
long bill to regulate elections, which was
read first time and ordered printed.
This bill occupied almost the entire
morning sitting, and as it is impossible
to pass it this session, one cannot help
expressing regret that Mr. Dole should
again incur the charge of wasting time.
We say nothing OF the general policy of
the bill; we simply say that it is too late
In the session to do justice to it, and
therefore that it is simply wasting time
to discuss II further

A RELIGIOUS discussion is being carried
on in the South Australia Chronicle"
as to the efficacy of prayers for rain"
They have been having a drought in
South Australia, and this is one of the
phases which the discussion of the cause
and remedy has taken. The other side
OF the question is represented on the

to trace both the cause and the remedy,
in more or less scientific and practical
manner, in an article on "Our Climate

PHASES OF THE LABOR QUESTION.

From time immemorial the labor ques-
ton has been discussed, and it will con-
tinue to be agitated so long as human
labor produces capital, which it can in no
wise direct or control =. thout persistent
effort and organizatiGE In modern po-
litical history the Lab problem has oc-
cupied prominent nnrtion, and to the
cusual observer it we5e9y appear that the
question mad been Investigated from
every Fessona fSis a. s9celreasonable stand
point, until the peseb presumably had
had the opportunity to reach some middle
ground CT conclusion through the thick
of conflicting opinions
Practical investigation of the results of
the labor discussion shows, however, that
not only the public have not formed
clear and decided opinions in the matter.
but that even the leaders of thought on
the labor question are unsettled and still
show wide variance of opinion on the
leading phases and results attending this
economic problem. 1t is not our pur-
pose to discuss the question in extenso,
but rather to give practical illustration
of the present unsettled state of the labor
problem, when tested by the live labor
issues OF the day. Such a course will
suggest to the intelligent reader that what
many people have deemed the end of the
discussion Of this vexed question is really
only the beginning of a great economic
reform that will take civilization years
to consummate.
From the history of labor in England
can be collected facts covering long
periods OF the struggle between labor and
capital. The feudal days represent the
serfdom OF English labor. The great
p'ague of the fourteenth century marks
another period, which went far in rails

PAINTING IMPLEMENTS.
4 Farmer Who Seriously Objects to the
 General Use of Red.

A Farmer Who Seriously Objects to the
 General Use of Red.
 The almost universal use of red on farm machinery is a fact which may well excite curiosity among all who like to see progressive ideas applied to the appearance, as well as to the mechani- cal construction, of such machinery. If 1t is because farmers like strong, glar- ing color, which will dazzle the eyes of every person in the country they live in, red is the proper color. If it is be- cause they like some color that will fade or turn dark, or perish and part from the wood, so that they can see what material has been used, red is good. If it IS because a bold, strong, obtrusive effect is preferable to modest, subdued and permanent colors, red is wisely chosen.
 The writer does not suppose any great amount of thought has been be- slowed upon this subject; but that red has found favor because of its bright ness and its more or less pleasing con- trast with the green of the fields in which implements are used; and that the custom of so painting machinery having be- come established, no change has been seriously sought by either farmers or manufacturers. The question of chang ing this long-used color has of late been somewhat discussed among some of the leading manufacturers, on account of some objections which have been made to red, and also on account of the ad- vantages which will be found in the use of other colOrs.
 Red is one of the most unsatisfactory colors to make in the whole color scale. Some of the pigments used in its manu- facture are so affected by the oils and dryers used in mixing them as to limit their durability; others, while not sus- taining any appreciable chemical change in mixing, are either blcached out or turned black in color by the chief natural agents air, moisture, light, etc., that are consantly at work everywhere. The pigments in the reds chiefly used on farm implements are necessarily among the least expensive and the least enduring of the great variety produced, being chemical con- pounds instead of earth colors, and, therefore, most susceptible to change.
 Another objection to red is its glar- ing effect on the eyes, repulsive to good taste for beautiful objects, and contrary to natures employment of the color, Nature, it will be observed, uses red sparingly, and with as great reserve as she is profuse in lavishing green upon her works. In a broad expanse of green, there may be but here and there flower of red, the contrasting or har- monizing equivalent of green; and this is so arranged that it does not glare and dazzle the eyes, as if its rarity made it exceptionally valuable. It is only the frosts and winds of autumn have smitten natures garment of green that she dons her robes of gorgeous color; and when she appears in this vesture, it is premonition of change and decay. AS the highest degree of mechanical eff ficiency is always sought in the pur- chase of machinery, so the judgment of the farmer should be exercised in the selection of colors of paint used upon it, to get those which will look and last well.-COr. Ohio Farmer.

Grellman states that in two Hungarian regiments cited every eighth mar was 8
 Gipsy. The Swedes had body of them in the Thirty Years War, and the Danes employed three companies of them at the siege of Hamburg, while in 1876 several thousand of them did duty in the Servian army against the Turks. A thousand Gipsies were with Francis von Perenyi at the siege of Naga Ida. In Spain they have at different times been made useful as cavalrymen, to which branch of service they seem best fitted from their rowing nature, their love of adventure, and their unequaled horse manship. Gipsies have frequently served in the English navy, and there were Gypsy musicians in the fleet at Sebastopol, while Sir Walter Scott speaks of being at Paris in 1915, when that city was garrisoned by the allied troops, and having discovered Gipsy companies among Russian soldiers sta toned at certain posts.
 So, too, have Gipsy women distinguish ed themselves as other than dukkerers and fortune-telling cheats. They have proven the most wonderful of nurses in the hospitals of cities and upon battle fields; and, by marriage, have frequent ly been elevated to the ranks of the nobility in many European countries, notably in Hungary and Scotland. The most prized singers in the church choirs of Moscow, St. Petersburg and other Russian cities have been Gipsy women, who have received in many instances extravagant salaries, supporting their families in aff1uence and acquiring notable competencies. Indeed, it is less singular that this is true than that there are no more noted singers among them. Melody is as much part of the Gipsy's nature as is wandering and out-of-door life. Music and dancing form their chief amusement, and, though among the rowing members of the race you will seldom discover cultivated voice, have come upon hundreds of Gipsies from whose throats song flowed as naturally, as purely and as melodiously as water leaps from the brown rocks of some beautiful mountain stream Edgar {.

 Dr. Robert St. George Dryanforth, of Washing gton, relates curious experience of his own during the war of the rebellion, and, later, while acting as a correspond ent in the Franco German war. While serving in the first great struggle the doc- tor was shot through the lungs and in- valided. He subsequently, went to Europe for ill health and remained there some years. When the German war broke Gut he became correspondent for the New York Tribune, and in one of the battles he was shot through the base of the skull. He caught a heavy cold while lying wounded on the battlefield, and his wound in the lungs troubled him so much that his life was despaired of and he was victim of rapid consumption. One day during violent fit of coughing the doctor brought up piece of his over- coat, which had been shot into his lungs ten years before. The ejection of this cause of irritation so relieved him that he at once became better, and finally com- pletely recovered. He returned to Wash ington and has since held the office of Judge of the Court of Appeals. He was nlso member of the Board of Examiners and Assistant Commissioner of Patents. Bryanforth is now a prominent patent lawyer.
