The Coming Fruit Crop.
New York Herald.

The present Spring has so far brought
an unusual small number of frosts likely
TO be injurious to the fruit crops on the
Atlantic seaboard. The severest of them
occurred before the warm weather came
and decided impulse has been given to
vegetation. This fact Is interesting as
confirming the theory that Spring frosts
are few at the opening of the vernon sea-
son the snowfall remaining on the soil is
scanty, as was the case this year in the
Atlantic states. The period for the oc-
currence OF frosts has not passed and the
fruit may Yet suffer in some degree. But
the probabilities are that, except in New
England and the northern parts of New
York and Pennsylvania, the peach and
other fruit crops will escape serious in
jury. Unless the character of the Spring
should suddenly change very much for
the worse we may expect AN early and an
abundant fruit and vegetable crop east of
the Alleghanies.

THE LABOR QUESTION
The New York Chamber of Commerce Holds

The New York Chamber of Commerce Holds
a Meeting to Take Action On 1t.
New YORK, April 28.-The chamber of
commerce held special meeting this af-
ternoon, to take action on the labor ques-
ton, in relation to strikes. 4 large num-
Der of business men attended. ResOlu-
tions were presented declaring that
minor differences between employers
and employees should be settled by mu-
tual concessions without the interven-
ton of third parties. Important differ
ences, affecting the public interest or
commerce, ought to be settled by arbi-
tration. Questions as to rates of wages,
hours of labor, and the kind of service
to be rendered. are proper subjects for ar
bitration; that the chamber fully recog-
nizes the rights of all classes of citizens
to unite in trade or labor associations, and
to use all moral and legal means in the
furtherence of their interests; any en-
ploye leaving his business vacates his
place absolutely: any man resorting to
violence to prevent another man working
should receive the full penalty of the law,
and every association which endeavored
by intimidation to abridge the liberty and
choice of action of those not its members
deserves the severest censure of every
American citizen.
The resolutions were discussed at great
length. nearly all present making strong
speeches in favor of their adoption.
Resolutions were presented by Gustaye
Schwab, calling upon the citizens of
America to support the guardians of the
law in maintaining peace and order.
These were added to the list of resolu-
tons presented. The entire list was then
adopted by the board, with much enthu-
siasm-

Washing Wool.

The yolk in a healthy fleece is natures
preservation of the fiber, says the Wool
journal. 1t is a sOapy matter, with a
strong potash base, resembling no other
animal secretion; it is in fact, a soap with
more or less free oil. 1t preserves the
elasticity of the fiber and should be left
in the wool until it is wanted for manu-
featuring use. Manufactures well know
that secured wool, in time, becomes brit
tie and lOOses its elasticity, while unwash-
ed retains all its good qualities indefinite
ly. 1t is doubtful if anybody ever saw
a moth in unwashed wool. 1t is, as rule,
free from all vermin. the per centage of
yolk in healthy fOcks of even grade is
quite uniform, but varying in different
breeds of % per cent. in the Leicester and
other coarse breeds to 80 to IS per cent.
in the very finest Saxon, the bucks always
carrying more than the ewes. The sys-
tenn of washing in cold water on sleeps
back never results in a washed fleece fit
for the manufacturer, but only the eradi-
cation of an unknown and uncertain part
of the yolk, contained in the fleece, which
is thus changed into an understandable
commodity to be sold on its uncertain
merits as to shrinkage. The name or des-
ignation of washed wool has ceased to
have any charm, and the sooner the prac-
tice of washing is entirely abandoned
the better it will be for the sheep and
their owners and the trade generally.

Men All Alike.
Toronto Mail,

ut Is very seldom said the waitress.
that you meet one man different from
the rest. They are all tuned to the same
key, and that key is conceit. There isn't
man who comes in here regularly but
believes that all us girls are dead gone on
him. Doesn't matter how old. how poor,
or how homely the man is, he still thinks
that whenever he goes he leaves behind a
broken hearted woman. l 'spose you think
men come here just to eat. Well they do.
but anybody to look at them would think
that their chief purpose was to whisper
chit-chat TO the waitress and look killing
ly every time she passes. And they are
all alike, married or single. If they only
knew how tired it makes us, perhaps they
would quit. l tell you it is refreshing
when, once in a long time, a man comes in
who really appears to have come in for
the purpose of having a meal-who piles
into the grub and seems not to mind us
any more than if We were men. When
that sort of a man strikes the place and
leaves 1t without any of the little f1irty
tricks of the general run we girls Just do
admire him, and wouldn't mind if he was
& little more sociable"
