MENTAL STRAIN, ETC.
The Moxie Discovery.

AS the world advances in civilization and
intelligence, business and method become
more comp stitive, and demand the everest
mental strain. 10 meet this, the world has
naturally rushed to the stimulants for sup
port. Considering this, IL Is not surprising
that our people have degenerRted in o mus.
cular pygmies, and nervous prostration is
the rule. and the insane asylums have been
increasingly crowded with victims. Almost
every case Of insanity has originated from
over mental strain and ttimulants. Never
in the history OF the world, has the sale OF
stimulants been 70 large, or the danger to
the oblttoratiOn of physical and moral force
IA the people SO dangerously prospective n
the future. What wonder Is 1t then that
the clergymen ant moral associations so
spontaneously stand by the harmless Moxie

X. of l.. Convention.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May rs The first
session of the special meeting Of the
General Assembly of the knights of
Labor, which began this afternoon at 2
o'clock and lasted until p. M, was an
uneventful one. General Master Work
man Powderly presided, and Secretary
Turner reported this evening that l, 800
delegates were in attendance. Most of
the afternoon was taken up In receiving
credent tials of members.
During an intermission the delegates
listened to an address by Edwin Mar,
tin, Chicago manufacturer, who ex-
planned a scheme for the reduction of
working hours which seemed to meet
the approval Of the body. He hFa.k&ed
that employers all over the country
should form the American Manufac-
tuIers' Union" which body shall aim
to establish friendly relations with the
working people, so as to avoid strikes
and boycotts, and, with ten hours as
the present standard of days work
reduce IL half an hour per day each
year without any reduction in wages
until the basis shall be eight hours,
where 1t shall remain.
Mrs. Mary A. Woodbridge, Secretary
| of the National Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, read an address,
lcongratulating the General Assembly
on the temperance principles OF its
Master Workman and on the temper
ance features Of the organization. She
urged the importance of retaining the
rule by which persons engaged in the
liquor trade are declared ineligible to
mem bership in the Knights of Labor,
and said she was glad the society pro
posed to defend the rights OF women by
demanding equal wages for equal work,
In concluding she invited the Assembly
to send delegates to the convention to bt
held in Minneapolis next October.
Action on both addresses was de
ferred.
| The Assembly will meet again at
i O'Clock tomorrow morning.
Leading trades unionists are not 81
jubilant tonight over the prospect of 9
treaty of peace being made with the
knights OF Labor as they were yester
Iday, but incline to the opiuion that thu

Silk Culture

Interesting experiments are now in
progI ess at the German Pavilion, in
Fairmouut Park, Philadelphia, in the
breeding Of silk worms from American
seed; that is, from the eggs of worms
bred In this country. Heretofore more
care has been given to the production of
good ooooons than the preservation of
the seed, but some OF the experienced
members of the Woman's Silk Culture
Association, who have the experiments
in charge, believe that better quality
of silk can be produced from American
seed than from the imported. The seed
now in use at Fairmount Park has been
obtained from Kansas, Indiana, Ohio
and Pennsylvania, and also some of
the best obtainable in Italy, which was
kindly sent to the association by Signor
A. Cauzi, Italian Consul at New Or.

Economy in the Kitchen.

We are not apt to think of bread as
an expensive article of food, and yet
on bread saving of so per cent. may
be made by using the homemade ar
ticle instead of the bakers ware. In
other words il costs about twice as
much to buy bread as it does to make
II at home, and when one considers
how much more healthful the latter
article is. it seems strange that so
many families are content to do with
out 1t
Almost any cook or general house
worker" can learn without much diff
Guilty to make good bread, especially if
she understands that you will have it.
We would strongly urge the necessity
of setting first a sponge, not too thick /;
secondly, of kneading this well few
hours later; and, thirdly, of final,
thorough kneading before putting the
bread into pans. According to our
experience the functionary will shirk
one kneading if she can, and the bread
suffers in consequence. Another ad-
vantage of using homemade bread is
that the cook is less apt to waste it, be-
cause she will want to save herself the
trouble of making more. One thrifty
housekeeper of our acquaintance al
ways keeps the bread under her own
control, cutting off sufficient supply
for the kitchen and parlor at each
meal. Certain it is that bread is very
apt to be wasted, and we have seen, in
at least one kitchen, q large drawer
completely filled with old bread, the
greater part of which, of course, had
to be thrown away. Potatoes also are
very apt TO be wasted. Many careless
cooks will not take the trouble to cal
culate nicely how many they will need
for a meal, and so will always have a
large quantity left, much Of which,
even if warmed over, will eventually
find its way to the refuse.

The Ameriean pInn Tor IreIand

Mr.. Gladstone's scheme for Ireland Ia
understood to be modelled on the Ameri'
can plan Of State autonomy, giving TO Ire
land full control over her local affairs.
This ought TO be satisfactory to the Irish
party. With absolute home rule and fair
representation in the Imperial Parliament,
there is scarcely anything more for Ire
land to expect, since Independence is Inn
possible unless the British Empire falls
to pieces.
Mr.. Gladstone has long been the friend
Of Ireland, but he Is q cautious man and
knows that the English mind does not
readily take to radical reforms in govern.
ment. He appreciates now that the en-.
largement Of the franchise has somewhat
changed the materials he has to work
upon, and he sees that the gathering
strength Of the Irish party in Parliament
has accelerated public opinion in the di.
reCtion Of more liberal measures for Ire.
land.
As a politician Mr.. Gladstone desires
the help Of the Parnellites in the new
Parliament, and for this he must pay a
price. II he Is correctly quoted he has
hit upon o consideration which does him
great honor, for there Is no reason why
ireland shall be denied fair play. Home
rule Is only fair play. OF course 1t is not
TO be supposed that home rule can be
carried without beating down a powerful
and determined oppotition.
