WHAT THE WITS ARE SAYING.

And far into the cool" he took his way;
By wooing sylvan charm seduced to roam,
Far behind he left his ancestral home.

Into the selfsame wood pathway made.
Face to face, met the careless strollers there,
And wondered and gaZed, with Supplied air.
Like as two peas p Each in the others face
Saw his own. Amazed rooted to his place.
They exclaimed-each one unto the other

little Johnny McSwilligen, as he was look

was the reply.
1t is not good for a man to dwell alone
and he never knows what it is to need the
help of true and loving wife so much as
when he is looking around for some one to
settle his property upon in order to put it
out of the reach of his creditors.

UNION, unsolicited, examined. 1t is the
one thing to criticize public officers in
general terms; it is another and different
thing to possess oneself of the facts, be-

position to defend the Prison Commission !;
but, in common with just journals, do de-
sire to know the facts on which to base
conclusions.

How WE HEAR.-Few persons, perhaps,
are aware that they possess a pair of harps.
They are called the organs of Corti, after
their discoverer, and are located in the ear
They are estimated to have 500 strings,
being, of course, microscopic, and varying
in length from 1-500 to 1-200 of an inch. If
you hold properly tuned violin near
piano, when the + string is struck the E
vislin string will vihrate and sound too so
with all the rest Now, the $500 strings of
the human ear harp have such a wide COM
pass that auy appreciable sound in the uni
verse has the corresponding tone string,
and the sound is conveyed through the
connecting filament to the auditory nerve,
thence to the sensorium. and thus knowl
edge of the sound is received by the mind.

THE white cigarmakers in San Fran
cisco use blue label to distinguish their
goods. This is their trademark. To
counterfeit it is a crime. To use it, with
out their consent, is fraud To put it on
goods not made by them is cheat. But
the other day $4,000 of these labels were
stolen, and now Chinese cigar dealer is
found offering for sale two hundred boxes
Of cigars bearing blue labels of the stolen
lot. We are sorry, for Senator Hoar's
sake, that this is true. Panied that this
new element that is to do so much for our
civilization should be smirched by theft.
fraud and a cheat. There must be some
thing wrong. A Chinese manufacturer
certainly would not undertake to palm off
his goods as those made by his white
neighbor. Senator Hoar wants these
Chinese competitors to have a chance
and they are having it; but we submit
that this blue label stealing is bit of
competition that does not give the white
man chance; he cannot retaliate by
stamping his goods with Chinese trade
mark. The shrewd Mongolian has none.

If Apostle Lorenzo Snow and his forty
companions in infamy think to excite
sympathy by their refusal to accept dis
charge from prison on a promise to obey
the law, they are woefully mistaken.
When these gray-haired old lovers tell the
world that they have married several
wives and live in polygamy 'for the glory
of God" the sensible world exclaims
"rot," and expresses the hope that the cpl
tibet may apply to the prisoners in reality,
before they are released from bondage
without pledge to be decent for the flu
ture.

PEOPLE who have the leisure to revive
the old fiction that Bacon wrote the
Shakespearean dramas, should turn their at
tention and direct their energy to some
useful pursuits. There has appeared a
new pamphlet assailing the claim of
Shakespeare to authorship by the attempt
to prove that the poet could scarcely write
his own name. If anything is proveable
from bad handwriting, especially from OBJ
scure autographs, then the case is against
the author of the pamphlet, for it is no.
torious that some of the best authors write
their signatures with an abandon that
makes the reading of name by those
to whom it is strange simply impossi-
BILE. 1t would appear that the testimony
of Lord Southampton, Shakespeare
patron, and of Ben Jonson "who writ that
only which he knew" ought to settle all
the issues whether the plays of Shakes
peare were written by Shakespeare.

THE New York Legislature passed the
twelve-hour labor law for the street-rail-
way employees of New York City. The
roads are chartered by the State, and the
regulation OF them is defended on that
ground. Twelve hours of labor is enough
for street-car drivers ard conductors, and
there should be no need of law in that
direction. Wise employers give employees
plenty of rest-it is to the gain of the en-
ployer.

HERE is great deal of sound sense in
the recent sermon of DR.. Talmage to en-
ployers. II is certain that while no man
can be compelled to employ another, nor
yet that one has the right to fix the wage
another shall pay him, that while it is
true one can "quit if he don't like what
is offered" yet, on the part of many en-
ployers the moral obligation to pay fair
wages is not felt. 1t should be remem-
bered that not always can the employee
"quit and find another place" He urged
his hearers-mainly employers-to look
well after the physical health of their sub
ordinates, and see to it that they have air,
sunshine, recreation and rest. There are
employing rooms, he said, where the very
atmosphere means death and early decay,
and where the employers are careless
about it. He urged visitation of the en-
ployes at stated periods by employers, so
far as practicable. He insisted that they
keep i'll view the economic law that there
is not most gain in exacting the greatest
output Of human energy. Unnecessary
fatigue incapacities and lessons ability and
product of labor He spoke warmly in
favor of early closing of sales places, and of
giving the indoor employee opportunity for
library, reading-room and lecture-hall Wis
itations. He would have done all things
to prevent the widening of the gap between
employer and employee; the bridge of SYM
pathy between the two should be recon-
structed simultaneously at both ends. He
would have the old-time cordiality and
feeling of mutual dependence restored by a
broader recognition by each of the moral
and lawful rights of each. Ia other words
DIR. Talmage wishes both employer and
employee to keep in mind that they are men
equal before the law and before God, with
great privileges and accompanying grave
duties relating to each other.

A CORRESPONDENT Of the New York
Herald has dragged from the musty history
of the past the story of an early attempt
to bride Congressman. In 1875, it appears,
man named Randall originated scheme
to have Congress grant him very large
tract of land, covering the present State of
Michigan. To further his scheme, he Of
fered stock to members of Congress. He
was imprisoned by order of the House of
Representatives, examined at the bar of
the House, reprimanded by the Speaker,
returned to jail, and later released, but
with threat that the Acknowledgement
might still proceed against him. This is a
precedent probably few if any present
members of Congress were aware of. In
the early days our statesmen were very
jealous OF any imputation on their honesty,
and they cannot be too jealous Of efforts
nowadays to debauch their integrity.

IF there is to be any observance of the

time to take the initiatory steps. 1t is far
better to begin early 1t results in wiser
counsels, greater economy, less labor to
those who must manage the details, and
generally in greater satisfaction TO the
public, In Stockton the question Is being
agitated of giving the celebration there
new features The same suggestion was
made here year or two ago. but it re-
suited in silly howl being raised about
abandonment of the good old-time land
marks of Fourth of July celebrations. In
fact no one ever suggested any abandon
ment whatever of any of the patriotic
essentials of the usual celebration. There
should be all possibleappeal to intelligence
through Grafton and song, the rousing of
the martial spirit, the qualification of the
love for scenic display, the poem, the
prayer and the boom of cannon and peal of
bell. But with all these there may be
new variety. the evolution from American
wit of new devices to appropriately mark
the passage of the day. We believe ilu-
mination to be better than fireworks. The
first engages all the people and avoids the
usual wrangle over pyrotechnics. We be-
lleve that the heat of the day NAV be
avoided by an early or late hour inaugu-
ration Of the ceremonies; we believe it to
be feasible to have free public amusements
to interest the children and give them
prominent active part in the exercises, and
IN other ways to make the celebration at
traetive, periodically instructive, and es-
pecially impressive to the youthful under
standing. There has been so much of the
red flag business of late, and such dispo-
sition in certain quarters to give the lie to
the sentiment that this is free land, that
we are strongly inclined to believe good
citizens will be anxious to celebrate the
4th day of July next with especial "vim."

when he had used three bottles, found himself
completely cured of the tormenting disease"
This was after he had, unavailingly, tried many
other remedies, and had the treatment of some
leading physicians.

The average use of the telephone is
calculated to make its patrons "red hot"
especially if they have not more of the
virtues of patience and self-command than
possessed by ordinary mortals. But now
we hear OF new discovery, by which the
usefulness of the telephone is greatly en-
HANGED, by bringing it, instead of its
patrons, to red heat. Mr.. Preece and
others have been experimenting with a
telephone receiver, consisting of very
fine platinum wire, stretched, and having
one end attached to the center of a
tympanum, or drum head When the
current from microphone transmitting
telephone was sent through the wire, the
variations in the length of the wire, due
to the passage of the varying current,
caused the tympanum to give out sounds
which reproduced the original sounds
spoken into the transmitter. Mr.. Ross, of
the Massachusetts, Institute of Technology,
has experimental in this direction, and
shows that by the use OF wire .004 inches
in diameter, and from FIVE to seven inches
in length, the sounds are very good,
especially when the current is strong
enough to bring the wire to dull red heat.
Then the effect is remarkably fine. As
yet the reason for this, or what exact rela-
ton the heating of the wire has to the re-
suit, is not known. Mr.. Ross speculates
that it is due to the increase of expansi-
bility produced in the wire.
