Judge Finletter of Philadelphia has
been censured for certain opinions on the
rights OF employees TO strike. The Judge
appears to be quite right. Working men
have a perfect right to refuse TO work for
wages that they deem too low, and the
public should always support them in
such move when they have right on
their side
Labor goes on the market just as capt.
tai and merchandise does The price Is
regulated by the demand, and the work
ing man should have the fullest right TO
demand what he thinks is the proper
price for his labor.
II 1t were otherwise the combinations
Of capital might leave the workingman
without any remedy. The mistake that
Is often made In strikes Is that the
strikers try 10 keep other people from
work and stop the employer from en-
ploying the people he wants to employ.

ANTI.PONERIY.

There IL a movement In different
direction from that Of McGlynn and
George TO organize an Anti-Poverty As
ISOLATION. All such intentions look well,
but unfortunately at times they are ex-
slotted by men who aim to create a
popular sensation and form societies
that contribute money to an intangible
idea, and one that proposes something
like q brilliant bubble blown out OF soap,
and painted with beautiful but vague
colors, attractive and graceful IN Its
features as 1t sails the air but. after all
nothing but bubble.
1t Is curious that In this hard, practical
age the average American, so noted for
his common sense, cannot see that Amer
lea has brought human life to better
standard than we know Of in any other
country or In any other age. We abro-
gate all class privileges. The laborer OF
today may be the millionaire of to-
morrow no may be Senator, or he
may be President
The examples are numerous enough to
prove the rule, and no sensible man can
deny that in the United States the poorest
man, with intelligence and industry, may
work out his career honestly and reach
the highest honors Lies prizes are put
within the grasp of every one, and there
10 but one barrier 10 any man who wishes
70 contest
That barrier is his own laziness or lack
of sense and skill The ordinary life
time gives opportunity to qualify ones
self for something, and the whole re-
sporsib!lity of failure is on the man him
self
The difficulty Is that there are thous
ands of men who want 10 raise them
selves above their condition without the
energy or capacity to do 1t, and they
complain and lay the blame of their ina
bility on the peculiar state Of the times.

organize Anti-roverty societies as much
as they choose. but It all amounts to Just
one thing and that Is handing round tho
hat to make salaries for men who would
burn down the house we have on the
ground that 1t Is not good enough, and
who have not the symptom OF plan for
any house that would be better.
The policy of ruin is Numerically Op-
posed to that of progress and develop
ment. The world has taken thousands
Of years to reach its present position,
where under free government, ell men
have equal chances in life. Instead Of
progressing on the logical line of progress,
the Anti.Poverty men would destroy
what we have instead Of building on 1t
a. q foundation.
The laborer has made such immense
progress under our system that 1t would
b folly to proceed on any other prin.
ciple than the one we have used

1t was long favorits theory that during
or before the carboniferous period, free car
bonic acid permeated the atmosphere. which
condition, aided by the warm rains OF a still
thermal earth, stimulated vegetable life,
while animals struggled for existence; that
during long period the excess Of carbonic
acid was locked up in the coal beds and lime
stones, while oxygen was set free, which i'm
parted greater vigor TO animal life, and es-
tablished an equilibrium as near as might be.
1t has been assumed that during the deposit
ton Of the carboniferous system vast coal
beds were formed but Of late years many &C.
ologists discredit this theory, and some go so
far as wholly to repudiate the vegetable ORR
gin of coal. The true genesis of coal Is yet
unknown, but there are numerous published
theories, none Of which, however, are wholly
satisfactory or conclusive. Several geologi-
cal writers, even in the beginning Of the pres
emit century, expressed dissatisfaction with
the coal theories Of their time, and since then
much has been written and said on the same
subject. --Henry g. Hanks in Overland
Monthly.

Village Governments Of Russia.

The idea Of 100000 Of people being con-
stantly upon the verge Of starvation is q
startling one, yet there does not seem to be
any reason to doubt the truth of the authors
statement. The peasants are frightfully
ignorant, and their Mrs make them, to 4
certain extent, selfish. These Mrs are vii
lage governments, each one independent Of
the other, and each peasant while bound for
life to his mir, has no ties connecting him
with any other village. Nor have the Mrs
any connecting links To all intents and
purposes the Mrs in Russia are independent
states, with nothing in common but the gov
eminent tax gatherer. 1t is this fact that
has been the safety of the Russian autoc-
racy, for were a concerted movement to
come the general government of the country
would go down before it as would a pile of
sand before a breaking dam. In fact, the
authority Of the Car today rests upon two
things-the ignorance of the peasantry and
their lack Of organization.
1t is Il question, however, of great interest
how long this state of things will last. If,
as Stepniak says, the majority of these peas
ants are in want all the time, if they abso-
lutely have not enough to eat for the larger
part Of the year, a time will come when they
Will move. They may be ignorant, but no
man is so ignorant that he cannot tell the
difference between hunger and repletion.
When the misery becomes widespread
enough, when the tooth of starvation presses
down hard enough, something will happen.
The history of the world has shown often
that under certain conditions in society q
spark is only needed to set fire to the train.
1t might begin in Russia with knocking down
q tax gatherer. And when it does begin the
result will be fearful. The atrocities of the
French revolution would cease to be talked
OF, for those in Russia will cast them into
the shade. AS the Russian czars and nobility
have sown so shall they reap. OF course there
will be great wrongs done; Of course the
persons who have brought it about will es-
cape, for in the vengeance Of races the inno-
cent suffer for the guilty. The sins Of the
fathers will be visited upon the children.
And who shall say, when those sins are con-
sidered, that this will bs unjusti-Current

The Misery Of Grammar.

81 believe more misery has been inflicted
upon innocent persons by grammar than by
all the religious prosecutions of the world.
The people who plume themselves on their
grammar are the dullest Of all writers. Next
to chopping logic and the study of heraldry,
grammar holds the first place in the science
Of idiocy." When Mr.. James Payn said that
he said good and sensible thing. The man
that invented a grammar for common schools
invented a thumb screw. 1t is high time our
boys and girls were freed from such studies
and allowed to spend their years Of schooling
In the simple sciences of every day living.
We know ono school where the teacher is an
enthusiast in chemistry and common sense

Frightening the pupils in his charge. 1t will

CGHlc, -"n-Cr RECIPES.
Many OF Thcn tulled from Ancient
Egypt-Pecuiiarities of Dress.

Curious hair recipes occur on some Of the
papyrl, some Of which are very absurd One
u prevent the hair from turning gray directs
that salve should be made from the blood
of black calf cooked in oil; in another that
of black bull is preferred for the same OBJ
ject; evidently the color Of the animal was
10 pass through the salve into the hair. In
another place we read Of the tooth Of a
donkey dipped in honey being used for really
strengthening the hair; aud the ingredients
for an ingenious compound are given for in
jnrng the hair Of "A rival, and the counter
remedy TO be used by those who think their
hair oil has been tempered with by a s,ts
plclous friend Cakes If some composition
which absorbed oil were always placed on
the heads of the guests at feasts, and from
them the oil trickled down through the hair
y most diSaSreeabie practice this may seem
10 us, but to them it appears TO have given
great pleasure; and with the Egyptians, aS
with the Hebrews, oil was symbolical of JOY
and gadness
Rouge and other coloring substances were
used by women Of Egypt to enhance, as they
thought, their beauty; the eyes had often a
green line underneath them; the lashes and
eyebrows were pencled in black, and, as in
modern Egypt, the nails were always stained
red with preparation from the henna plant.
In our museums We can see the little pots and
vases formerly filed with these unguents and
colors and the pencils they used with them,
As well as various sorts OF combs and hair
pins. OF the latter there is very pretty set
IN the museum mt Boulak-single pronged
wooden pins with jackal heads, stuck into a
cushion in the form Of a turtle, which was
evidently one of the favorite dressing table
ornaments belonging to the deceased lady.
All these little essentials OF the toilet were
placed in the tombs by the loving hands Of
friends and relations for the use of that spir-
itual body which they believed required all
the adornments the lady had loved upon
earth.
Notwithstanding the elaborate care Law
ished by the Egyptian lady on her personal
adornment, she adopted a simplicity of dress
suitable to the climate in which she lived.
Except for the wig, the head was uncovered,
with sometimes a colored band tied round it.
The queens often wore the vulture headdress,
but this was more as an official ornament
than rs a covering In common life also the
women, both Of high and low degree, went
barefoot, though they had sandals to wear
when they were in full dress These sandals
were made Of papyrus, or palm fiber, or Of
leather; they had straps to pass around the
foot and between the toes, and in some
piece OF the sole was turned up and bent ever
the toes to protect them; in later times some
Of the leather sandals had sides to them,
which causes them very much to resemble
modern shoes. Woman's World
