The prayer OF the Chaplain OF the Ma
tional House of Representatives was as
follows: Give ear, Oh God OF Jabob, and
awaken us to see the danger which threat
ems the civilized world, a revolution more
tremendous than any of which history
tells, in which the scenes OF the reign oil
terror may be enacted in eveey capital OF
Europe and America. For long the few
have mastered the many, because they I'M
derstood the open secret-the tools
to them that can use them. But now
the many have learned the secret OF
organization, drill and dynamite.
Rouse the rich of the world to understand
that the time has come for grinding selfish
monopoly to cease that corporations may
get souls in them with justice, honor, con-
fidence and human kindness. Teach the
rich men of the country that great fortunes
are lent them by thee for other purposes
than to build and decorate palaces, to
found private collections of art, to stock
wine cellars. to keep racing studs and
yachts and find better company than
hostlers, grooms and jockeys, booksellers
and bookmakers. Teach them, oh, God,
thatit is thee who has given them power to
get these fortunes; that it is toprove them,
TO know what is in their hearts, whether
they will keep thy commandments or nc. and
that these commandments are thou shalt
love the Lord, thy God with all thy heart
and thy neighbor as myself that if the rich
men OF our land keep these commandments
the poor will follow the example, and we,
at least. will be saved from the days OF
tribulation that are fast coming on all the
world. Help us, oh, God, and save US.
Mr.. Grosvenor asked unanimous con-
sent that the prayer be printed in the Rec
ord.
Mr.. James objected remarking, soto
voee to the gentleman who asked him to
withdraw his objection, that it was, made
because the prayer was an incendiary
speech.

add the remainder of the milk and the
eggs, which should be well beaten.
Beat the mixture for q few minutes, and
pour it into shallow tin, which has
been previously we'll rubbed with beef
dripping. Put the pudding into the

End of the Southwestern Strike.

The strike on the Texas Pacific and the
Missouri railways has been settled, and
10000 men who have been idle in conse-
quence OF the strike have returned towork.
The strained relations which seemed to
exist between the officers of the Mis-
souri, Pacific and the general execu-
tive board OF the knights OF Labor
we're only strained in appearance.
The basis of settlement is the prop
osition of the Knights to submit the whole
trouble to a committee OF arbitration,
consisting OF three selected by the knights
and three by the company, another to be
appointed by those six. The following dis
patch from Jay Gould is published:

day that | will. tomorrow morning,

tions to Mr.. Hoxie, general man.

Louis. In resuming the movement of
trains on the Missouri Pacific and in the
employing OF laborers in the several depart
ments OF this company, give preference to
our late employees, whether they are Knights
of Labor or not, except that you will not
employ any person who has injured the
company's property during the late strike.
Nor VIII we discharge any person who has
taken service with the company during
said strike. We see no objection to arbi-
trating any difference between the employees
and the company, past or future" Hop
ing the above will be satisfactory, / re-
main, very truly yours,
JAY GOULD, President.
The executive board also sent out the fol-
lowing:

consented to our proposition for arbitra-
ton, and SO telegraphs Vice President
Hoxie. Pursuant to telegraphic instruc-
tlons sent to the chairman executive board

"It Is NV Row.

Through Rochester, N. Y, runs the
Genessee river, between steep and rocky
banks. There are falls in the river and
dark recesses. One time gentleman
who lived in the city had just arrived
on the train from journey. He was
anxious to go home and meet his wife
ard children. He was hurrying along
the streets with a bright vision OF
home ir his mind, when he saw on the
bank of the river a lot of excited men.
What is the matter?' he shouted.
They replied, 90 boy in the water" -
"Why don't you save him. he asked.
In a moment, throwing down his car,
pet,bag and pulling off his coat, he
jumped into the stream, grasped the
boy in his arms and struggled with HIM
to the shore, and as he wiped the water
from his dripping face, and brushed
back the hair he exclaimed, 20 God, it
is my boy!
He plunged in for the boy Of some
body else and saved his own So We
plunge into the waters of Christian
self. denial, labor, hardship, reproach,
soul travail, prayer, anxious entreaty;
willing to spend, and be spent, taking
all RISKS; to save some other one from
drowning in s,n and death, and do not
know what a rehexive wave Of blessing
will come to our own soul. In seeking
to save others we save ourselves and
those most dear to US, while others, too
selfish to labor to save other peoples
children, often lose their own.

Canning Fruits.

When NJ. Pastcur advanced his
theory that all fermentation was caused
by organism, so minute that they float
ed about in the air, lie very soon an
nounced that, according to his expert
ments, these small bodies would not
pass through cotton. Now il they cam
not 60 through cotton, and If they are
the cause of fermentation, cotton will
prevent the canned fruit from spelling.
Many people have experimental with
it and find it a success. The cotton is
simply tied over the boiled fruit while
it is still hot, serving to keep the germs
ont Just as sufficiently as the rubber
+ ring or any amount Of wax.
In the college kitchen labratory ex-
periments were tried with five kinds OF
fruit, including tomatoes, and the re-
suits were perfectly satisfactory in ev-
cry case, not even "a plrticle Of mold
forming in the can. In most cases the
cotton was simply tied over the canful
of hot fruit; in some cases there was a
piece of white paper put on first to
prevent the cotton from dropping down
and becoming Juice soaked. This seem
ed to be the preferable way. The cot
ton is taken just as it comes off the roll
the thickness being about as 1t unwinds
and it is tied down with strong Irvine.
If this should be as successful with
all fruit Gamers as here, there is nc
longer need for patent fruit cans; for
any bottle with q wide neck suitable
to receive the fruit, or any jar with
glazing which is perfect, to allow nc
entrance of air through its walls, will
be all sufficient for keeping the fruit
fer winter.

Curious Facts ABOUT SILK

A writer in "Land and Water" says
the ideas of the ancieLts upon t he sub
ject of the origin Of silk were rather
vague, some supposing it to be the en-
trails Of spider, which fattened for
years upon paste, at length burst,
bringing forth lis silken treasure 9TH

which were not dispcllel till the sixth
century, when the first silkworms
reached Constanstinople, introduced
and cultivated, like many other bene-
fits, by the wandering monks. From
thence they were soon imported into
Italy, which for long period remained
the headquarters Of the Euroupean silk
trade, until Henry " Of France, sec
ing that mulberry trees were as plenti-
full in his southern provinces as in ltaly
introduced SILK worm culture with
great success.

The Approach Of Age.

The approach of age shows itself
about the eyes Lines come, family at
first, then deeper, until the incipient
crows feet are indicated, developed
and revealed. The woman who, look
ing in her glass, sees the fatal lines di-
verging from the outer corner of her
eyes, knows that she has reached an
era in her life. She recognizes it with
sigh if she be a vain, u lovely, or a
worldly woman; with smile, perhaps,
if she has children in whom she can
live her own youth over again. But it
can never be gay smile; none of us,
men or women, like to feel youth-that
precious possession slipping away from
lis. But we should never be on the
lookout for crows feet or gray hairs
Looking for them is sure to bring them,

Good Advice from q EiuInOrtst.

Burdette says: You take q basin Of
water, place your finger in it for twen-
ty-Gye or thirty seconds, take it out
and look at the hole that is left. The
size of that hole represents about the
impression That advice makes on d
young man mind.
Don't depend too much on your FAM
lily, the dead part mean. The world
wants live men; it has no use for dead
ones. Queen Victoria can trace her
ancestors back in direct line to Will
liam the Conqueror Ifyou cannot get
further back than your father, You are
better off. Your father was better
man than old William. He had better
clothes to wear, better food to eat, and
was better housed.
If you are diamond, be sure that
you will be found. Check, brass, or
gall never gets ahead Of merit.
I love young man who IS straight
forward. Ask for what you want. Ii
you want to marry q rich mans daugh-
ter, or borrow IS from him, ask for it,
it amounts to the same thing in the
end.
Remember that in the morning OF
life come the hard working days. Hard
work never killed a man. It's fun,
recreation, relaxation, holidays that
kill The fun that results in head
the next morning 90 big that tub
could hardly cover it is what kills
Hard work never does.
Those that come after us Will have to
work Just as hard as we do. When l
shovel the snow off my sidewalk, if per-
chance | take a three quarter inch
piece off my neighbours walk, | put it

doing him an injustice.
You can't afford to do anything but
what is good. You are on dress parade
all the time.
Don't be afraid of pounding persist
ly at one thing. Don't be afraid Of
being called a one idea man or q cranE.
II YOU have one idea, you have more
than most men have. II takes a sraat
man to be a crank,
