such as is included in the rule of
"doing he,least work for the most
pay" Such men shuttle through
their labors, sighting the work here,
wasting material there, squandering
all the time they can, and thinking
of no ones interest save their own.
This class of workmen are the first
to be diminished when hard times
come. When wages fall, theirs are
the first to be lowered. If the force
of the shop; by reason of slack trade,
has to be curtailed, they are the ones
selected to leave. Self-interest
teaches the manufacturer to give the
best places and the largest remuner-
alton to his most faithful workmen.
This is not only natural, but right
and commendable. The employe
who thinks most of doing his work
we'll and of subscribing his employers
interests, and less of combinations
and strikes, will succeed the best and
rise the highest and the most rapidly
in the scale of prosperity.

A Spider That Was a Spider.

A correspondent of the Calcutta En-
gliSbman sends description of an
enormous spider which was killed in a
house. The creature was found cling
ing to u door curtain, and when
alarmed emitted grating sound, but
whether with its mandibles or with its
feet could not be ascertained. 1t
showed no disposition to run away, or
even to move from the spot where it
was till it was thrown down, when it was
killed with blow of a stick. 1t is
quite two inches in length and half an
inch in breadth, and the two segments
of the body are equal in size. 1t is dis
tinctly short legged for q SPIDER but
the eight legs are very strong and
heavy. The body, too, is covered with
fine short hair, and is all of dark
brown color. The two fangs are like
a sparrow's claws, and exceedingly
sharp, and if stretched out straight
would, with the feshy part, measure
nearly half an inch each. / find it
difficult to convey an adequate impress
sion of the terrible and formidable APP
pearance of the monster The COM
mon large running spider, to be found
in every house in Calcutta, unhesi-
tatingly tackles and destroys the largest
cockroach. Judged by this standard
this spider ought to make its prey of a
small bird or mouse.

What is Agricultural Education.

Cor. Country Gentleman.
The more 1 see of agricultural
schools, and the more | study the
subject of agricultural teaching, the
more / am convinced that the teach
ing of practical farm work at a col
lege or school of agriculture is, and of
necessity mustbe, farce and a hum
bug. A farmers son goes to an ag-
ricultural college to pursue a course
of study in the principles of scientific
agriculture, and to obtain an educa-
ton which will fit him more intelli-
gently to manage and plan farm OPP
perations. In nine cases out of ten
he already knows as much about the
manual operations of farm work as
any OF his instructors, and the chances
are that he knows much more in this
line than the professor of agriculture.
And yet, in most of these institutions,
he must labor on a farm a certain
number of hours daily in order to
learn how to hoe, mow,dig and pillow,
because the controlling powers are
possessed with the idea that farming
is handicraft, and must be studied
like carpentry or blacksmithing. In
stead of using all the limited time
usually devoted to an agricultural
cource in becoming expert in the
sciences which have bearing on his
profession, he is compelled to spend
half his time in learning things he
has already learned better at home,
and in which he will probably never
excel-if he equals-any practical
farm hand he may employ. College
catalogues are full of nonsense about
Identifying labor, &C., just as if col
leges were intended as training
schools were intended as training
schools in manual labor, and not as
schools for developing brain power
in agriculture. Methinks the labor
Of the brain is Just as well worth
Identifying as that of the hands. In
mechanical pursuits, boss and iourn-
eyman must of necessity be men pos

sessed of manual skill, since this is
the Alpha and Omega of mechanics.
But the manual dexterity of the farm
is easily acquired by the most ignor-
ant laborer with the necessary mus
Gle, and no college professor can teach
him better. A familiarity with these
farm operations of course is desirable,
and any intelligent boy can learn it
ali in few lessons in observing the
operations of the workmen on the
college farm, which should be so
managed as always to present to the
student a model of what good, practi-
cal, money-making farming is here.
If professors and students honestly
"put in their time," as people at any
other business are expected to do,
could we not look for greater results,
and a more complete education pre-
paration, not of farm hands, but of
farmers, thoroughly understanding
their business and qualified to direct
the skilled, muscular forces which
they will find in the shape of farm
hands in every good farming neigh
borhood. Farmers sons avoid the
agricultural colleges, not because they
are lazy and do not wish to engage
in manual labor, but because young
man seeking an education seeks to be
more than newer of wood and a
drawer of water, and because they
perceive that this demagogical cry
about Identifying labor is really a
belittling of mental culture.

She Always had Her Own Way.

While boarding at the hotel of a
health resort, mother came there
with her daughter, whose nervous
system was sadly unstrung, so much
so that she seemed on the verge of
insanity. Educated and fine looking,
she was attractive in personal pres
ence, excepting when her strange,
wild moods made her repulsive. Her
mother, woman of quiet, practical
cast,..wa experimenting with her by
change of place and treatment, in
Guiding in the latter even clairvey-
ance. The case attracted attention
from the singular combination of in
intelligence with an air of lawless-
ness and independence of maternal
control. A single remark of the
mother shed light on the painful
mystery, when, abiding to her I'M
yielding spirit under uncongenial au-
thority, she said: "She always had
her own way"
We were reminded of a statement
made by DR.. k, whose special
work in his profession was the treat
ment, privately, of the insane, that
many of the most trying and difficult
cases among his patients had been
the young people of wealthy and in
dulgent parents, who were never
taught obedience, and were driven
by an imperious will which could
not brook control but became more
and more eXacting in its demands,
into a moral insanity, which, sooner
or later, included the mental state.

quietly approached the editors desk.

"Well ~ exclaimed the editor with
look aud tone intended to annihi-

On interrupted the editor with
extraordinary suavity, "you don't

The Big Toed People.

The strangest of all the Indo-Chi-
nese races, the Ancient Gioa-Chi or
Big-Toed Race is called in our geog-
raphies "The Anamese." This eX-
traordinary people are about the ug-
liest and worst-built of all our semi
civilized Asiatic Cousins. They are
much shorter thon the Malays, dark
er skinned, with lower foreheads,
less developed skull, a flatter nose,
larger mouth, thicker lips, blackened
teeth, gums often destroyed by the
use of betel-nut, very prominent
cheek and jaw bones, SO that the face
is lozenge shaped, short neck, shout
ders sloping abruptly, and a see-saw-
ing sort of gait when walking. But
the most curious development of all
is the big toe. 1t is very large, broad
and flat; moreover the distance be-
tween that member of the foot and
the other toes is so great that the Chi
nese so long as 1857 b. c. gave
them the name of Gioa-Chi or the
Big-Toed Race.
This curious physical formation is
such that it quite marks them from
all other Asiatic peoples who walk
barefoOted; and strange to say, that
though more than forty centuries
have passed since this popularity was
first noticed by Chinese travellers, and
in spite of frequent intermarriages
with other races, the Anamese have
transmitted, without the least parcep-
tible modification, this formation of
the foot to their descendants today;
which fact, according to some ethno-
logists, serves to prove that the Ana
mese are not descended from the
mingling Of indigenous races, but
rather than they have existed for an
immense period of dn,Y as distinct
and peculiar race. fl.
However this may be, in a funny
old Siamese legend, the origin of the
Anamese race is attributed to the
prayer ofa pious Buddhist mission
airy, the sole survivor Of a shipwreck-
ed crew, who finding himself cast on
the beautiful coast of Anam, with no
living creature in sight save multitu-
dinous fiocks of wild geese, prayed
the Addhi Karma, or First Cause, to
change these wild geese into human
beings, so that he might instruct
them in the doctrines of the Buddha.
Then and there the focks swooped
at the feet of the suppliant, and were,
in the twinkling of an eye, trans.
formed into crowds of men, women
and children, without a vestige Of
their former condition as web-footed
creatures save the broad flat distend,
ed big-toe.

What Constitutes Faithful Employe

An exchange says: Every faithful
employe will constitute himself the
guardian of his employers property.
The man who will either willfully
waste what is intrused to his care, or
encourage such waste in others, is I'M
worthy of confidence, and should he
ever become the head of business,
will deserve to be treated in the
same way.
There is a vast deal of truth in the
above, adds the Industrial World,
and yet how many workmen there
are who willfuDy squander not only
the property of their employers, but,
what is equally valuable, the time
which tho latter pays for. ..
Workmen do not seem to know
that the prosperity of manufactur-
ing concern oftentimes depends upon
the observation of closest economy.
The enlargement Of the wage fund
depends on this economy, and any
fail-minded employer would rather
expend in wages the amount saved
by economical observance than have
the amount wasted. The little waste
here and there that seems so trivial to
the workman, when scattered through
a great number of hands amounts in
the total to large sum. When a
workman, sees the first evidence Of a
machine getting out of order, by
drawing the attention of the proper
parties he may save an expensive
bill of repairs and also considerable
loss consequent upon the idleness of
the machine while undergoing re-
pairs. The careless workman says,
"It is none of my business whether
the machine gets out ofrepair or not"
and so he lets it run on until it is en-
tirely disabled. A workman observes
quantity of material carelessly left
where it will deteriorateo or be spoiled.
Instead of taking care oft, or notify
ing the manager or superintendent,
he allows it to remain and be destroy
ed or injured, consoling himself with
the thought that "it is none of his
loss any way" Perhaps he observse
a brother workman willfully wasting
or injuring the material upon which
the latter is working. Duty would
tell him to inform the foreman OF
such a dereliction on the part of his
fellow labOrer, but he does not, for
lack Ofinterest in his employers well
fare. He may see where a saving
could be made in the manipulation
material upon which he is working,
yet for lack of interest he refrains
from making any suggestions leading
to the discovery of that fact. Not in
frequently the workman refrains
from protectingIhis employers rights
and property because by so doing il
will entrail additional labor or care
upon himself, or impose a response
bility which he does notlwish to as.
sumo. Some seem.to think there is
no obligation incurred by them when
engaging themselves to work except

While around them screamed the gulls,

And the sailor pity me.

REPUBLICAN CONTENTION.
Arrangements for Seating Delegates and
Providing Press Accommodations.

CHICAGO, May 21.-A subcommittee OF
the National Republican Committee has
been in session here two days arranging the
details of the convention, and deciding
upon the distribution OF tickets and the
allotment of seats to the press and other
matters of.detail. The seating capacity of
the hall is seven thousand thus necessitat-
ing a smaller apportionment OF seats than
before. The committee decided to give each
delegate three general tickets for distribu-
ton and one press ticket to each delegate,
thus enabling a delegate to take care OF the
local press in their district. One hundred
and forty-seven working seats at. tables
are provided for zach of the larger daily
newspapers, who will make up and send
out from the hall special telegraphic re-
ports to supplement the verbatim report
OF the Associated Press. No other papers
excepting those sending out such reports
can be given representation at these tn
bles. In LAT seats are included the
seats required by the Associated
Press and the official stenographers
and the local press committee was
directed to carry out these provisions and
notified that the largest number OF
working seats given to any paper should
be three. The greater portion OF the daily
papers taking reports will have but one
seat. Alternates will have no tickets but
their own. 1t has been the usual custom
give to the city where q convention is
held ID per cent OF the tickets. The com.
mlttee has reduced this to 10 per cent.
remaining tickets will be divided be-
tween the press, members OF Congress-.
governors OF States and other dis
binguished statesmen.
