Roucntted Brewers.

4 ST. Louis, Mo-, dispatch says:
The Central Labor union has got at
last q genuine fighting issue with the
brewers VINO have been quietly testing
their strength with their union employ
es ever since the latter part Of May,
when schnaider's and Stifel:s beer
were boycotted by the union. Last Fri
day gilt at The regular meeting Of the
union, Richard Schlagintwelt delegate
from tile brewers uEicn, of which he
is president, read 70 the assembly a SER
les Of resolution which he said had been
presented to the brewers at their last
meeting and had been adopted and
signed by all of they except Miller Bros.
The resolutions declared that unless
the boycott Was removed by Sept. 4
every union man i'll their employ would
be discharged. The resolution Was re-
jerred to a committee of three to be
present to the local unions for action.
President Schlagintweit said, after the
meeting: that The adoption of the reso-
luton indicated that the brewers had
hurt by the boycott, which would not
be removed. but be made firmer.

WAS refused by both papers. Last Fri

granted, pending arbitration, by the

Ready for a Strike.

Between 200 and 800 meat handlers in
the packing house Of Robert Warren &
Co., at the Chicago stock yards quit
work at o'clock Friday morning. The
reason assigned is that they were re-
CURED to load cars handled by the I'M
ported switchmen. Ever since the
strike of the Lake Shore switchmen
trouble has been expected from them in
the packing-houses, who were regarded
as the natural allies of the strikers.
The employees Of several packing houses
have gwen their employers to under
stand that they would not handle Lake
Shore freight or load the cars OF that
company. No attempt was made to
load such cars at the Warren house
until this morning, when half a dozen
empty beef cars were run UP to the
house and the men ordered to load
them. They refused peremptorily and
threatened TO strike if the order was re-
newed. The firm again ordered the
cars loaded and the men stopped work
and went out Of the house. II have
ordered my house closed, = said Robert
Warren. "We sold out our hogs that
we bought this morning, and now the
men can have all tile strike they want"

Humane Treatment Of Prisoners.

Here is description of what they do
with their prisoners i'll the Canton OF
Neuchatel. a. good handicraftis taught
to every prisoner, and all who are we'll
behaved are, after period, placed with
a master OF the trade which they have
severally learned, under the oversight
of the police and of a member Of a
voluntary committee. This committee
is composed of 1,400 active members,
out Of a total population of 1O2,0o The
prisoner, when professionally liber-
ated,'' has to present himself
every week, to his patron,
who receives the reports of his master
and OF the police. The patron sends an
abstract of these reports to the governor
Of the prison, and in this way, if his
conduct remains good, the mans liberty
is gradually restored, and heregains his
position in society-with the additional
advantage Of experience of discipline
and knowledge of trade. NJ. de La
veleye, in describing this system, says
that Swiss canton is in some things a
century in advance Of the rest Of the

AHORSE's JOURNEY.
Why Horses Should Not He Driven Over
Thirteen Miles Day.

IhlrEeen Miles a Day.
According TO the Hon. John E. Rus
sell, secretary of the Massachusetts
Board of Agriculture, the regular jour-
ney OF a horse should not exceed twelve
or thirteen miles. This is as great q
distance, he thinks. as can be aconomi-
cally allotted q horse as days journey
for every day in the week. II he has q
longer daily journey he must have
day or two off each week This days
work of the travelling horse is based on
the experience of stage and car COM
panies. For the stage, where more
speed is required, ten miles have been
found the limit of an economical DAYS
Journey. But great deal depends on
the speed. Give a horse plenty of time
and be can do a longer daily journey
than he can if urged beyond an easy
gait. In emergencies good horse can
do fifty or sixty miles in a. day. Sew
enty-ive and eighty miles have been
driven. But such long, fast journeys
are very trying to the horse, and he
needs to be managed with great care
and Judgment to prevent harm from
such violent, continued exertion. Such
driving can not be repeated often with
safety. The regular days journey
should be heightened or shortened ac-
cordin to the. condition and character
OF the r. I'd and the weight of the load.
Then there is difference in individu-
ais, and what one horse does with ease,
may be very hard for another. Feed
and care. are also factors in the problem
not to be overlooked Chicago Times.

ANCIENT CAUTIONS.
The Extravaganza of the Roman Emperor
and Their Nobility.

ANClEN oIO ONSs
The Extrayagance of the Roman Emperors
and Their Nobility.
The history of the Cesars with some
exceptions, is the narrative of contin-
ual orgie. Take the notorious group at
random-Commodus, Caligula. 1ibe-
RUS, Verus, Vitelus, Nero, Heliogaba-
lus, Domitian. These men spent their
lives in round Of monstrous debauch-
cries. The day and night, we are as
sured, were not long enough for their
revels. Verus, the first to increase the
number of guests from nine to twelve,
prolonged his supper throughout the
night. Nero sat at table from midday
to midnight. Tiberius spent two days
and a night at the festive board. They
had huge appetites only the gigan-
tic Macmillan, who devoured forty
pounds of flesh meat and drank five
gallons of wine at meal, but finical
dandies like Commodus, who ate
even in the bath; Vitellius,
who CEASED eating only when he
slept: Domitian, who late out of his
hand to stay his stomach in the inter-
walls of regular repas:s. Heliogabalus
was perhaps the most elaborate, Vitel-
Illus the most extravaganza, in his daily
fare. The latter squandered in seven
months f7,0o0,O00, chiefly on his table.

anime the figures On the other side.

two thousand Of the rarest fish and
:seyen thousand Of the rarest birds were
served UP. One individual spent the
sum of $4,000 on single dish made OF
the tongues of the choicest singing
birds. The Roman bon vivryqaj, sup4
ing on the brains of peacocks and
;pheasants, the tongues of nightinga!es
and the roes Of the most delicate fishes,
swallowed thousands of pounds at q
meal; and we need only multiply the
individual expense by the number
of the guests to form a
notion of the cost Of q high
class dinner in the days OF the Caesars
A supper in the Apollo meant one or
two thousand pounds thrown to the
purveyors. But the Enlperors were
certainly the most reckless in the prof
hgacies of the table Seneca and Taci-
tus are among the authorities who tell
us that Heliogabalus spent f20,O00 on
one supper; that Nero, master. Of "the
House Of Cold" ate d dish which cost

more precious. It is asserted further
that the Emperor Verus treated twelve
friends to feast which cost Gs46,O00,
and Seneca is responsible for the state
ment that Caligula spent GS0,000 on a
supper. The magniticencc Of the EDl-

The Latest Advertising Dodge.

Another effective advertising scheme
has been invented in England. A lead

10000 tin boxes Of candy, Theoretically
sealed with an advertisement Of q cheap
watch in each box, and in some of the
boxes, in addition thereto, q coupon en-
fitting the holder to one of the watches.
On the occasion of the Oxford and Cam

boxes were thrown into the river, to be
'dived and grappled and raked for by
anybody who thought 1t worth while to
take SO much trouble to get the sweets,

Some OF the Cincinnati doctors think
they have discovered new disease which,

Mrs. Rosa Won Stein, which was reported
few weeks ago, first attracted attention
to a medical phenomenon. 1t was be-

Mrs. Stein was victim of rabies, but
many of the essential features of that hor-
rible malady were lacking. To the sur

| big Irish setter on July II, while playing
on the street. The dog belonged to Mrs.
Allsup, lady residing next door, and
| afterward bit two or three moro children.
! However, the animal was not killed, but
developed no symptoms of rabies. Alice,
who is an interesting and pretty child
heard of the misfortune Of Mrs.
Won Stein, and the matter worried
| her great deal. Besides, unthinkiug peo-
pie had tormented her by barking at her
as she passed along the street. These
things proved upon her and developed the
seeds of hysteria, which eliminated sc
dreadfully about half past nine o'clock the
other night. Mrs. Burke had occasion tc
go to the door, and when she returned heI
daughter was in a pitiable fright, and
seemed to be struggling with something
