Raising the wages of Car-priyers.

In anticipation of trouble of the nature of the
Brooklyn and New York streetcar companies,
Mr.. johnson, of this city, is reported to be max
ing some slight changes. An order went into
effect yesterday morning allowing the drivers
time for putting up and taking out their cars
This was one but the slightest of the grievances
Of the carmen of this city. A driver stated that
the change made would not make more than Is
cents difference on the day to any of the men
and would not affect some of them at all. Some
of the men are now working eighteen hours q day
On the cars and are only allowed few minutes
yor meals. A large number of the men are now
working for $l30 day. Their time is supposed
10 stop at the outer end of the lines so that they
receive nothing for the time occupied in taking
q car from the turn-table back 10 the stable on
their last trip Mr.. johnson Is now in Cleveland
and could not be seen.

PREPARING TO QUIT.
The Telephone Company Serving Notice on
Subscribers of the Termination of Contracts.

Notice has been given by the Central Union
Telephone Company to 474 of the Indiar. anols
subscribers whose contracts NAV ,s terminated
IN hfteen days that tn.s,r telephone service will
pc % oisco ,...unued after March 81. This
,.ni reduce the service in Indianapolis
to about onehalf the number of in
struments now in use. Twenty six
subscribers at Lafayette and hfty-four at Terre
Haute have also been notified that their con-
tracts will terminate at the same time Forty
one toll stations at small towns in the State have
been ordered closed
Notwithstanding the declarations of the COM
pany that it intends to withdraw from business in
the State at the earliest time practicable, it is
still generally believed that the course
being pursued is in the nature OF bluff,
and that although the service will be reduced
and impaired. for the purpose of making the law
unpopular by the public inconvenience which
withdraw from business in the State. as there is
too much probability that it will be able
to force the General Assembly to repeal
the law, when it &c, eonvenes ten
loss OF its valuable plant in Indiana. 1t is sug
gested, therefore, that it will be found that the
company will reduce its service in this city to a
comparatively small number of patrons, to whom
the service viii be continued, while the public
generally will be deprived of the advantage of
using the telephone, which will be likely to have
the desired effect in bringing the Leg
islature to terms An attorney, however,
doubts if this can be done legally. for the
that il the company continues business even in
small way, il can be forced by the process of law
TO furnish the service. without discrimination, to
any person making application for it aud paying
the legal price, just as tho Baltimore & Ohio
telegraph Office forced the Central Union to fur
pish il telephone service.

Need OF a Handbook.

Editor Labor EnGuIreI
In the London Commonweal for
March is request for material to form
a handbook for the use of lecturers and
agitators, the plan of the work to in
clude definitions of all terms used by
Socialists; objections most commonly
raised and how to meet them, and full
reference to authorities upon every
point"
That such book is sadly needed in
this country all our speakers and writer's
will agree, and we should have one COM
piled without delay. Doubtless, most of
of the comrades have clippings, scraps
and short articles bearing upon the gen.
eral question. and these, compiled into
one book. would make a work of inesti-
mable value to the Socialist lecturer or
agitator. Who will take hold of this
work and produce book hich shall
combine the elements of cheapness, re-
liability, proper arrangement of subjects
noted, and concisement?

NJ. Naudin expresses the opinion con-
corning the proposed Algerian inland
sea. hat to fill with salt water the shil-
low basins of that region would be
equivalent to reproducing in Algeria all
the evil features of a series Of marshes
an opinion held also by many eminent
men of science. The deepest portion
would, it is admitted, not exceed eighty
feet in depth, and the whole coast line
would be so shallow as to be but little
else han a marshy bank. which, under
the influence of a tropical sun for eight
months of the year, would, doubtless, be-
come a focus which would develop and
distribute all the evils Of malaria. An

FRUIT TRADE OF CALIFORNIA.
Some Very Interesting Figures-Nut. and
sun-Dried ~Fruit-Items.

Some Very Interesting Figures-Suts and
sun-Dried Fruit-Items.
The annual review of the trade in
Tried fruit and honey of California for
1885 contains many very interesting
figures. 1t appears that the total dried
fruit product of the state last year re-
quired ITO, 000, 900 pounds of green fruit
equal to $500 car-loads-and was Of a
value of 50, 500, 900. or extracted honey
the product was 1900, 900 pounds; comb
honey 1900 00 pounds and beeswax
so, 200 pounds-a pretty good showing
for the bees. Raisins show an enormous
increase, the total output of 1885 being
estimated at 40, 900 boxes of 20 pounds
each, against 175, 900 in 1884.
This indicates the rapid advance of
what is destined to be a very important
industry, and which will keep in the
country hundreds of thousands of dol
lars which now annually go TO Spain and
other Mediterranean countries. A de
cided improvement in packing and grad
ing in 1885 was noticed, and is worthy of
commendation. We are producing large
and notwithstanding quantities of
nuts, the product last year having been
1880, 900 pounds Of walnuts, 518. 900 of
peanuts. 1850, 900 of almonds. In sun
dried apples. peaches, and plums we also
do well, the product having been; APP
Piles, 1,070, 900 pounds; peaches, 1900, 900,
and plums, 1,021, 900. We are gradually
making Roadway against the foreign
crop of prunes. Producers are beginning
to grade and pack their prunes after the
French method, and when this is univers-
ally done it is predicted that our prunes
will take their proper place in the east
ern markets.
In 1885 our output was 1,400, 900
pounds of French and 100, 900 pounds of
German prunes, or about the same as
1884. In the line of e%vaporated fruits less
is being done than in sun-dried. The
principal items for last year were: APP
Piles, 1900 o pounds, %apricots, $50, 900
tsun-dried, 300, 0OO); peaches, 400, 900.
Tile crop of peaches (all kinds, dried,)
was three times what it was in 1884,
and bid fair TO be quadrupled in 1886.
~Evaporated apples doubled the product
of 1884. Walnuts largely increased, and
other products in a lesser degree, a slight
falling off in peanuts being noted on NC
count Of low prices. All this is a most
gratifying exhibit, and gives further evil
dence Of the assured future Of the state
as a great fruit producing country.-San
Francisco Call.

A project has been started in Berlin to
establish an anthropological exhibition,
which will do with regard to the races Of
men what geological gardens do with re-
gard to animals. In the exhibition Or
garden it is intended that representa-
tives Of various races shall permanently
reside. while Of such races as can not
stand the cold of the climate representa-
tives will be brought to Germany to re-
side there during the summer. An
chronological museum is to be established
in connection with the exhibition, which
is said TO have the support Of several
capitalists. Possibly the recent success
in Berlin and London Of Japanese and
Indian villages has led to this project.
which. however. is a far more difficult
undertaking. but which, If carried out,
would prove Of great public interest.

No one who has not been in a blizzard

fearful character. Why. do you know
that every farmer in that country takes

pears Il provide himself with a rope by
which he guides himself from his house
to his stock sheds or stablef He ties one
end OF the rope to the door-knob OF his
house and then walks to his barn-door.
At this point he ties a stick into the rope,
and when the blizzard comes he simply
takes what he thinks Is the right direc-
ton and follows the rope until he reaches
the stick. II he does not strike the barn
door when he reaches the stick he knows
he has missed his bearings, and simply
starts off in a circle holding the rope
taut until he reaches the barn. When
he gets ready to start back he hauls him
self In hand over hand until he reaches
his door. II he looses his hold on the
rope the chances are that he will never
reach his door ever though he might
wonder within five feet Of it.-Chicago
