LABOR AND MACHINERY.-The mechan-
ical industries of the United States are car
ried on by steam and water-power, repre-
senting in round numbers $780, 900 horse
power, each horsepower equaling the mus
cular labor of six men that is to say, if
men were employed to furnish the power to
carry on the industries of this country it
would require 2 1000, 900 men, and 81 ,OoO,O OO
men represent a population, according to
the census of 1880, of 100, 600, 900. The in
dustries are now carried on by 400, 1000 per-
sons in round numbers, representing a pop
ulation 90, 200, 900 only. 10 do the work,
then, accomplished by power-machinery in
our mechanical industries and upon our
railroads, would require men representing
a population of 172, 800, 900 in addition to the
present population of the country of 55,OOO,-
900, or a total population, with hand process
es and with horsepower, of 227, 300, 900,
which population would be obliged to sub
sist on present means. In an economic
view the cost to the country would be enor-
nous. The present cost of operating the
railroads of the country with steam-poWer
is in round numbers $500, 900, 900 per annum,
but to carry on the same amount OF work
with men and horses would cost the coun-
try S11 1908, 500, 900. These illustrations, OF
course, show the extreme straits to which a
country would be broughtif it undertook to
perform its work in the old way.

HIS BEST GIRL ON A STRIKE.-"MOre
trouble about capital" said the train boy,
diving into his chest for a last summers
"What now ?" asked the brakeman, putting
back a daily paper and lifting a kiln-dried
orange. "Best girls on a strike" replied
the news agent, demands shorter hours,
Saturday night, eight to ten, with fifteen
minutes intermission to take breath and
listen for the old mar at nine O'Clock, extra
caramels for extra time, no new girls to be
taken on without consent of the present
force of employees and a half day off for
the matinee every time a new dude comes
to town." "What's capital going to do
about itm "Hard telling" said the news
agent, with a weary smile "Im holding
out just now and offer to take her back and
sign the old schedule and no questions asked,
but there's a surveyors party camped right
outside of town, a 'Mikado' company max
in a four nights stay at the Opera House,
a Salvation Army storming the town, and
the girl holds the key to the situation.
Reckon I'll have to sign the new SCALE"
A BAD RULE FOR COWS.-"What's the
matter ?" asked a passenger on a Dakota
train, as they began to run considerably
faster.
"Why you see, there's a blamed cow rum
ming ahead of US on the track, and we're
trying to catch her."
"What do you want to catch her for?"
"Why, great gosh! to kill her, of course!
The rules allow us trainmen the hide and
tallow, and the meat goes to the directors.
You bet Pm going to catch that cow, unless
she leaves the track, or run the wheels off
these cars. / told the fireman to break up
the trunks in the baggage car, and heave
them into the furnace to make a hot fire,
and I guess he's doingit."

pa~ A century ago an in6del German
countess, dying, ordered that her grave be
covered with a solid granite slab; that
around it should be placed solid blocks of
stone, and the whole to be fastened together
by strong iron clamps, and that on the stone
to cut these words: "This burial place, pur-
chased to all eternity must never be open
ed" But a little seed sprouted under the
covering, and the tiny shoot found its way
through between two0f the slabs and grew
there slowly and surely until it burst the
clamps assunder, and lifting the immense
block, the structure ere long became a con-
fused mass of rock, among which in verdi
ure and beauty grew the great oak which
had caused the destruction. This truth dis
lodges error; thus her branches spread in
splendor above the ruins of the false, and
thus she that exalteth himself shall be
abased ."-Lmheran.

The annual commencement in the Due
West Female College is preceded by a
thorough examination of all the classes.
These examinations begin on Tuesday of
the week preceding the week in which is
Commencement Day, and are continued
for five days. The primary department,
whiches under the general supervision of
the college, but under the immediate con-
troll of Miss M. V. Edwards, principal,
and Miss j. F. Kennedy, assistant, is exam
ined on Tuesday. On Wednesday morn
ing the examination of the college classes
is begun and is continued until Saturday
afternoon. On Friday evening the Amelian
Society celebrates its anniversary by the
reading of essays, the delivery Of valedic-
tory by a member of the graduating class,
and a debate which is participated in by
two members of the society. This is an i'm
portant feature of the pre-commencement
exercises. The young ladies read their own
essays and debates, and Greek meets Greek,
face to face, on the field of contest.
With regard to the examinations on the
present occasion, it may be said truthfully
that they were extensive and minute, and
that the young ladies acquitted themselves
most charmingly. 1t is often said that pub
lie examinations are no test of what the
pupil knows. This probably is true; but it
is just as true that a public examination,
properly conducted, is a most excellent way
of finding out what the student examined
does not know.
At the late examination in the Due West
Female College, a very considerable num-
Der of parents were present to witness the
examination of their daughters. All, with
out a single exception, were not only pleas
ed, but perfectly satisfied with what their

HER TITLE.

A very pretty story is told by the Pa.
ris correspondent of Vienna newspa-
per, which We all hope is true. 1t Is
that matinee musicale was given by
the Duchess Lamotte, and among the
guests was the charming bride-elect Of
President Cleveland, then in Paris com
pleting her trousseau. The young lady
was the object Of many marks OF dis
tinction, the high aristocracy sur
rounded her, and there was much talk
OF her position. One lady, the daugh-
ter-in-law of the Duchess de Per
signy, condoled with Miss Folsom be-
cause she would have no title as the
vile Of a republican President. "AlI
would be well, only yeu viii have no
title, said she; lyon will only be called
Mrs. Cleveland" But that name is
only for strangers" was the answer of
the fair American; "The President has
for intimacy conferred upon me very
particular title" Everybody looked up
curiously, and, blushing deeply, Miss
Folsom added, He calls me-his dar-
ling. Can wife desire a better title?"
The hostess embraced her amiable guest.
remarking. You are right. and YOU
appear to me as II you would keep the
title to the end Of your life. {"
If Miss Folsom spoke as above, she
talked like true American girl, who Is
proud OF her birth, and of her country,
who is glad that she is daughter of
the grand republic and whose country
men and countrywomen are all her
social equals, provided they behave
themselves. America is proud of such
girls, and takes infinitely greater de-
light in them than she does in those
who think they are better than others
and who are anxious to buy for cash
and self-respect, foreign titles. There
is no title which better becomes an
American woman than that which goes
With the wife of an American citizen.
Miss Folsom seems to have been Just

The situation of Utah is not unlik q
that OF ireland. In Utah the people
have distinct local interests, just as
Ireland has. They have q different
religion to thst which prevails in other
parts of the nation; just as the Irish
mans religion differs from the Church
Of England faith. They have different
methods of thought from the rest OF
the nation in which they live. just Is
the Irishman's method of thought
differs from the English. Home rule is
denied Utah, just as il is Ireland. II a
religion which the people Of Utah de-
test is not sought TO be forced upon
them By the general government, u
has been the case with Ireland. then
the one they love. that is dearer to
them than life or liberty. is sought to
be wrenched from then. Laws that
have a foreign aspect aud that are de
structiye OF their social insuiu. ions
that even invade the sancity oil the
home circle are forced upon them H..
the face of their protest, Just as it has
been in the case of Ireland. Coerciy,
measures are being tried against Utah
to compel her to surrender rights which
70 her people are dearer than life; the
came has been done in ireland.
Utah hss q small minority upon whom
all government patronage is layished,
so has Ireland. This minority in Utah

withhold the privilege of managing her
own affairs from her, Just as the
minority OF & Ivernment's favorites in
Ireland will withhold home rule from
Ireland as long as they can. The stu
alton is very similar. Ireland Is Utah's
mirror where We may see the wrongs

TOO TRIM.

1t is rather an amusing story which
was telegrsphod from Canada and ap
pears in this issue of TIE HERALD as th,
story Of an American citizen at present

quoted as saying that large sums Of
money are being sent fromNew England
70 help. along the secession movement
in Nova Scotia; that be knew OF one
firm sending $4,000 from Boston the
day be left. and that the men vino were
contributing all this money expe led
that the success OF secession by Nova
Scotia would be Immediately followed
BY the annexaiion OF the province by the
United States, when this country
would rave control of the rich Cana
dian fisheries. All this kind of talk and
ali such speculstions go for naught with
intelligent people who are at all fsmil.

neys themselves; the rebel sentiment is
no stronger IN Canada than in London,
and the secessionisis are no more nu-
merOus in proportion TO the popu
lation in the Dominion than
in the British metropolis. There are
secessionists in Canada, and there
are men in London who would like 10
see the empire fall: but there are NOT
enough of these rebels in either place to
endanger the monarchy. or make the
probability Of a colonial secession a
thing to be seriously apprehended.-Th
agItators make q loud noise, and
their strength to wonderful
PROF. ortiops. but it is all sound and |
wind. The English, in whatever part
Of the globe they may be located, are as |
loyal and true to the empire as Ameri- |
cans are to the republic, and |
there is little more probability that
British colony will secede
han there is that an American State
will withdraw from the Union. The
'ast few years have given many evil
Iences of the patriotism and national
oye OF the colonies. In all her late
7ars and prospective troubles Canada
nd Australia profiered their services to
he crown, and actually offered to SIP

Besides, whatever of the seces

The efforts of England to establish
Protestant colonies in Ireland have never
been very successful; still, during the
reign of Elizabeth. colonies were
founded in the Irish province OF Ulster,
which includes the whole north end OF
Ireland; aud the Protestant populat on
has increased until over one-haf of the
million and a half OF the population Of
that province are of the Protestant
faith; and in this prov nee in the past.
as well as in the present. the most seri-
Gus riots and scenes of cruelty have
occurred between the OraRgemen, or
Protestants, and the Catholics.
The origin of the term orangemsn,
cannot fail to be OF interest. James II
came to the English throne in 1856.
succeeding Charles IL. James was
Catholic. and manifested an
imprudent zeal in promoting
Roman Catholics to positions of power
throughout the Kingdom. This
and an effort to establish liberty of
conscience By issuing a proclamation
declaring that non conformify TO the
established Protestant church should
no longer be punished, gave birth to a
rebellion which led to his abdication
of the throne. No sooner did James
abdicate the throne, then William
Prince OF Orange. was called to oc!
cupy it.
Previous to this event. the Protestant
who had engaged in acts OF
violence against the Catholics, were
known as 'Peep-o-day-boys," owing
to the early hour of the morning at
which they usually began their depreda-
tons. To contend against the aggres-
sions Of the "Peep-o' day-boys." the
Catholics organized. and their com
panies were called Defenders"
During the brief reign Of the Catholis
prince, James H., the Catholics in Ire
and. especially in Ulster, were guilty |

A Woman's Grand Invention.

A lady who took exception to her

device that it is promised shall do more
to induce sleep than all that opiates,
choral hydrates and even raw onions
have ever done. The machine looks
like very long S, and is made in hard
rubber, W tn apad on one of its inner
curves. At one end is soft leather

down the strap-after the instrument

The Art of Pitching.

The most important player in the
nine is the pitcher. He has studied the
ball so carefully that when cleverly
supported by his catcher he is often
times invinc,ble. Despite the teachings
of science he can throw a ball in a
curve or drop it to the ground at the
''plate" just when the batsman has
aimed at it at the height of his belt. To
bring about these results pitchers have
various styles of delivering the ball,
and it is to transfer these peculiarit'es
to the columns of newspapers that the
photographers art has been summoned.
1t is study not only in baseball. but
in science, and as such will prove Of
benefit to all. whether experts in the
nat. onal game or strangers TO its varied
features. Philadelphia Times.
