Militia Take Charge Of the Missouri
DaNifIN Xardo

PARSONS, KANSAS, April 3.-Elghk
companies Of the first regiment Of
Kansas militia arrived in the city last
night and took charge of the Missouri
Pacific yards and this morning the
Kansas National Guards commenced
making up trains, the engines being
guarded on each side by the bayoneta
of the soldiers. One freight train has
been sent out. and it is expected the
yards will be at once cleared Of all
freight cars. The strikers have made
no disturbance or resistance and seem
to accept the situation as inevitable.
The company is nov paying of all the
men engaged in the strike, and some
of them are feeling rather blue at the
prospect of being indefinitely out Of q
job. The feeling here is that an ena-
barge will be laid on the trains as soon
as the militia return to their homes.

and the strikers are equally determined
that freight shall not move until the
company agrees to take the ex-em-

receiving from the Farmers Alliance

SUCCESS WITH FOWLS.
How to Make the Egg Business One O
Profit and Pleasure.

How to Make the Egg Business One of
Profit and Pleasure.
Success with fowls, kept exclusively
for their eggs, is gained only by con-
slant care for their cleanliness and COM
fort. They must have a variety of food,
a good, large run, with opportunity to
exercise, or be forced to take exercise
in scratching for their feed, as upon
floor covered with chaffed straw. They
may be kept safely in focks of seventy
to one hundred, but the larger the flock
the more danger there is from disease
and from thieves. The free use of car
bolic acid is great safeguard. 1t may
be applied in sawdust or clay, the dry
material being moistened by the car
bolic acid thoroughly stirred into it.
The less of the carbollc acid that is
used the better, provided every particle
of sawdust or of dry clay has its quota.
This disinfectant thus prepared, may be
used in the nests, in the busting box,
| upon the floors. under the roosts, etc.
1t is fatal alike to parasites and to ten
dency to disease in most cases. 1t can
not be depended upon in dirty houses,
for fermenting manure, receiving fresh
additions constantly, will overpower
almost any dlsinfectant that could be
safely used
By spading or blowing up portion
of the runs frequently, fowls gain
| healthful exercise and find few grubs
and worms, and with breeds of fowls,
which are active by nature. exercise
means eggs, and incidentally, perfect
health. -4me7icGn Agracuttatrsst.

More Than Four Thousand Looms Run-

More Than Four Thousand Looms Run
ming in the United States.
Recent investigations show that there
are in the United States 4,211 looms de-
voted mainly to the weaving of extra
and medium super carpets. OF these
looms 2,1S9 are in Philadelphia. the re-
mainder being scattered from Auburn,
N. Y, to the Eastern companies. In
States they are as follows: Pennsyl-
vania, 2,1s9;New York, 800; Massachu-
sets, 375; Connecticut, 347. The aver
age yield of an ingram power-loom is
thirty wards per diem, and the possible
Weld of the entire country in
extra supers is 1889, 900 yards per an
nun. The value of the same is, at
sixty cents per yard, $22.739. 400. But
all ingram power looms are not run
ming on extras and allowances will
be made accordingly. The growth OF
the brussels industry is interesting. In
1886 brussels carpets were being woven
in a few cellars in Philadelphia by hand.
About that time, also, the Auburn On.
w State prison. under Mr.. Barber,
was turning out body brussels, and the
old factory at Astoria, which E. s.
Higgins bought in l845, was one
of the first to make brussels.
The brussels manufacture, since the
Bigelow loom was perfected, is familiar.
Since the war the great companies at
Hartford, Lowell and Clinton have as
sumed large proportions, and turn out
each wear a magnificent product in
brussels, and other concerns are grow
inc up about them. In the decade past
Philadelphia has doomed and contains
to-day large proportion of the brus-
sells machinery of the country. There
are in the United States, in position or
about to be placed, 1,197 brussels looms.
| The number in each State is as follows:
Pennsylvania, 4S5; New York, LOG;
Connecticut, 1o3; Massachusetts,, 1872;
| New Jersey, TO- The average yield OF
a brussels loom is fifty yards day, and
all the brussels looms in the country
running on regular time would yield
II, 955, 600 yards in one year, Sundays
and holidays excluded. Averaging
stouts and five-frame goods at 81 per
ward, the value of our total brussels
product would be $17, 1884, 600 The
largest tapestry brussels concern in the
United States is that of the Alexander
Smith & Sons Company at Yonkcrs, N.
Y. They have $50 looms on tapestries
and can turn out probably 455, 900 yards
per month. Philadelphia Carpet Trade

The Constant Warfare Carried On by
Every Thinking Individual.
You observe how intensely interesting
life becomes when it resolves itself into
one long and fierce combat between the
intellioences and their forces that make
for the right, and those which are
ranged to resist it. The man who is
absorbed in his own personal interests
and ambitions knows nothing about it;
posed to him outside the sphere of his
own mundane hopes and fears. He
struggles blindly with events, as the
sailor does with the elements caring
only for his own cargo, and making
only for his port or destination. But he
who, Invested of all personal inclna-
ton, enrolls himself in this mortal life
in the host of those who, from unseen
realms, are combating for the universal
good, begins soon to be conscious that
there are rival influences at work, who
use the base passions of earthly
men with which to Illustrate
that grand endeavor; and they finally
get to perceive certain method in the
operations of both sides, and to recog-
| nlze the fact that the success of the side
! On which they are fighting must depend
upon the strength of the altruistic sem
| timent which animates the combatants;
for in proportion to that depends. in its
! turn. their receptivlty to the divine inn
pulse under which they combat. Hence
| It often happens that we who are en-
gagged intelligently IN this strange war;
! fare find ourselves impelled to adopt a
course of action the ultimate bearing OF
which is concealed from us. Often it is
even difficult for us to justify our acts
20 ourselves ON any principle OF COM
mon sense; often we really believe we
are struggling to accomplish a purpose
which, after we have failed, we find did,
| IN fact, achieve another and altogether
| different result, the meaning OF
which now becomes clear,
though it would have been
impossible of achievement except under
the mask of another design. In other
words, we are constantly making feints
to deceive the enemy, and are ourselves
kept in ignorance at the time that they
are feints; but as we come, in the course
of long experience, to be more TAM
liar with the divine tactics, and to
recognize the marvellous operation OF
the laws which govern the forces at
work on both sides. we become over
whelmed at the magnitude of the strug-
ole: and as our lives become wholly de-
Voted to it, we recognize in every mi
mute detail which affects them its bearing
upon the vast issues at stake, and are al
once crushed by sense of our own in
significance and uplifted by the stupen.
