THE PENNsYLVANEA RELIEF.
A General Sentiment Against the
Proposed Fund.

PHILADELPHIA, March 2.-The conyen-
tion of delegates from the various divisions
of the Pennsylvania Railroad company and
other companies interested in the relief
fund scheme, called by General Manager
Pugh to discuss the proposed insurance
plan, convened in the reading room at the
Broad street station at 10 O'clock this
morning and were in secret SeS-
sion until a late hour tonight.
Three hundred and twenty-four delegates
were present, representing twenty-seven
divisions. comprising all of the companies
controlled by the Pennsylvania company,
and known as the Pennsylvania Railroad
system. General Manager Pugh and
Solicitor John Scott received the delegates
and the former without further organiz-
alton took the chair and stated that it was
the wish of the company to hear the men
freely on the questions at issue. 1t had no
desire to force them into benefits
which they did not desire. Nearly
the entire day was consumed in listening to
statements from the various delegates as to
the views held by those whom they repre-
Sented upon the plan, and it is known that
almost without exception they stated that
they and those whom they represented were
opposed to the scheme altogether, or
wanted it modified. The official state
ment given out by the company after adj
iournment of the convention says, among
other things:
While the most kindly feelings were uni
formly expressed for the company and it's
officers, the criticisms Of the relief fund and
all of its features were of the most candid
and outspoken character, and the drift of the
sentiment was against its adoption.
The officials of the company declined to
say what effect this expression of opinion
will have upon the future of the fund.

ST.. LOUIS, March "A dispatch from
Crystal City, thirty-nine miles from here, on
the Iron Mountain road, says that trouble is
brewing in the Crystal City glass works.
The president notified the employees several
DAYS ago that all Knights OF Labor in the
works must either leave the order or the
works. In compliance with that notice, it
is said, twenty-siX of the men were dis
charged yesterday, and notice was served
on all the remaining Knights of Labor that
they would be given two more days in which
to make up their minds. The action of the
company has created good deal of excite
ment at Crystal City, and it may spread to
ST. Louis, where the headquarters of the
Knights of Labor for the district are lO-
Gated. The Crystal City works employ 600
men.
THE PRESIDENTS STATEMENT.
Mr.. +. A. Hitchcock of this city, pres-
dent of the Crystal City Plate Glass works,
was seen to-day by an Associated Press re-
porter, who learned from him that there is
no real trouble at the works, nor is there
any excitement He said the works are
running full and that, with the exception
of twenty-siX Knights of Labor, whose serv-
ices were dispensed with yesterday, the
men are contented and that no disturbances
or trouble is apprehended.

The Proper Weight of Man.

Prof. Huxley asserts that the proper
weight of man is 154 pounds, made up
as follows: Muscles and their appur-
tenances, 6S pounds; skeleton, "a
pounds; skin, 104 pounds; fat, %
pounds; brain, pounds; thoacic visce
ra, 81 pounds; abdominal viscera, II
pounds; blood which would drain from
the body, pounds. The heart of such
a man should beat Is times a minute,
and he should breathe 10 times a min
ute. In twenty-four hours he would
vitiate 1850 cubic feet of pure air to
the extent of per cent. A man, there
fore, of weight mentioned should have
300 cubic feet of well-ventilated space.
He would throw off by the skin
1S ounces of water, 300 grains of solid
matter, and 400 grains of carbonic acid
every twenty-four hours; and his total
loss during that period would be six
pounds of water and little more than
two pounds of other tter.-Ndture

TROUBLE EVERYWHERE.

There's trouble in the dwelling.
Trouble on the street;
There's trouble in the bosom
OF every one we meet;
Morn ng. noon and midnight
There trouble in the air;
And. oh there's no DENYING
There's trouble everywhere.
There's trouble in the garden;
Beside the sweetest rose,
Beside the fairest lily,
The thorn of trouble grows;
There's trouble on the ocean:
There's trouble on the land;
And when the sunshine s brightest
There's trouble close at hand.
From troubles that pursue US
We never can escape;
They're sure to overtake us
In some peculiar shape;
To circle slowly round us,
Or seize us, unaware;
Troubles sure to find us, for
There's trouble everywhere.
But after storms of trouble,
How blessed is the cnlm
And after wounds of warfare,
How soothing is the balm!
And when from trjbulations
Our spirits have release,
II but for one brief moment,
We know the Joy of peace.
So trouble has its mission,
As through th<sElaei It goes,

In every breeze that blows:
1t moves the stagnant waters;
1t strs the pulse of health;
Gives courage to the hero;
To every laborer wealth.
IT'S trouble that incites us
To brave and daring deeds.
Ills trouble that prepares us
To feel another's needs;
Each heart must bear its burden
Of suffering and care;
For man is born to trouble,
And he finds it-everywhere.

SWEEPING DAY.


How 1t Can Be Robbed of Some of 1t,
Most Disagreeable Features.
If you look at your house-work as
.he means to a delightful home, it will
hot seem hard or hateful even the
dreaded sweeping day, which own to
fixing worse than wash day, leads to
the repose of fresh, fragrant rooms,
and sanctity from dust and deface-
ment. 1t need not be quite so much a
penance if you have proper aids.
(These are covers of glazed cambria
for large furniture, carpet sweeper,
brushes, patience, care, etc.
If you sweep with broom, use
damp tea leaves, bran, coarse meal.
saw-dust or dry snow, to keep down
The dust, remembering to have these
things damp, not wet; to sprinkle only
a yard or two where you mean
to sweep at once, and to take it up
with the sweepings before you 60 to
the next place. Brushing a damp
mass of dust and trash over a whole
carpet is not the way to improve it.
Fine carpets like Wilton or Moquette
should be swept with the pile to keep
them from wearing; and dealers say
that Brussels should be swept only one
way. 1t is good rule always to begin
at the corner farthest from the door,
taking up the dust every yard or two.
Take rugs up, bringing opposite sides
together, not to spill the dust; lay
them face down on green sward, or
hang them so out of windows, and
beat the backs till all the dust is out.
Beating on the face sends the dust into
the firm woven ground of the rugs
