Is it all necessary to 60 to England
to find women working at heavy labor.

Six years AGO walked distance of
six miles in one of the most beautiful
districts in America. Had the artist

would have hesitated before sending
out such plates as did service in last
Saturdays Blade.
This is what he would have seen 4:
Women working at furnaces who to all
appearances were unscxcd. They were
Hungarians, working alongside of
their husbands and countrymen, and
lost to every idea Of propriety or rud-
est constituencies. They were clothed
with a short kilt and a pair of boots,
and 50 far as the eye could judge, that
was all. From waist up they were as
naked as the cold truth. In all the
habits Of daily life, with men they
were as men.
This charming little picture our ar
fist would have behold as / behcld IT,,
in Western Pennsylvania, about 60
miles south Of Pittsburg, between
Scotdale and ut. Pleasant. The fur
naccs were coke ovens; the workmon

out Americans. The owners Of the
furnaces are Frick & Co., protection

KENNA
WEST yiRGISIA's GREAT EXPONENT OF
DEMOCRACY, ESTnUsEs BRILLIANT

DEMOCRACY, ESTmUsEs a BRILLIANT
AUDIENCE AT PREsToN's ME-
TRoPLIs on FRIDAY NIGHT.
NEwBuRe, Sept Ex-senator Ken
ma spoke here tonight to one of the
largest audiences that has ever assem-
blcd in the town. Aliens Hall,
where Mr.. Kenna spoke, was hand
somely decorated with flags and flow
ers. Large sized pictures of Cleveland
and Thurman adorned the stage. The
towns excellent brass band furnished
the music for the occasion, and at a
little after seven o'clock escorted the
distinguished speaker to the hall, from
the residence of DIR. VIM. NJ. Dent,
who entertained Mr. Kcnna while he
was in town.
At 1880 o'clock, Mr.. j. j. Coniff, of
Rowlesburg, introduced Mr.. Kenna in
short but eloquent sdeech The au-
diencc greeted Mr.. KcnDa with hearty
applause.
After expressing his qualification at
the cordiality with which he was re-
ceived, Senator Kenna began by say
ing that the situation confronting the
American people to-day was serious,
and that all should give earnest, sober
thought to the great questions of the
day, and vote to avert recurrence of
the great monetary panic Of 1878. lie
referred to the fact that there are now
1888, 900, 600 surplus in the L. S
trcasury-idle money. idle money
makes idle haLds, idlc hands makes
hard times" said Mr.. Kenna. He
showed the fallacy of getting rid of
the surplus by paying premium of
2S cents on the dollar for bonds.
Mr.. Kenna said that he was no free
trader that he never was n free
trader, and never expected to be one
H. said that the Mills bill was not
free trade measure and that the Rcpub-
licans were insinccrc in their opposi-
ton to il.
The Senator said he was in favor of
free wool, and explained why he was
in favor of it, but that he was not in
favor of free coal
Mr.. Kenna paid his respects to the
Chinese. He said while We open our
doors TO honest, sober, intelligent and
Industrious men and women of other
countries, we didn't want any Chinese
[Cries of No No 4" We don't want
any one whom We can not take by the
hand and call friend aud brother"
[Great Applause.
Mr.. Kenna spoke for an hour and
a half, and was warmly applauded
throughout. At the conclusion of
Senator Kcnna's speech Mr. j. j.
Coniff, on behalf of the ladies of New
burg, presented him with fine
bouquet of flowers. Mr.. Kenna ac-
cepted the gift in a speech in which he
paid high tribute to the ladies of the
land.
1t was a great day for the Dcmoc-
racy of Ncwburg and Preston county,
and the good results of Kcnna' speech
will be seen more fully at the polls.

Things worth Knowing.

/. That fish may be sealed much easier
by dipping into boiling water about a
minute.
?. That fish may as we'll be scaled if
desired before packing down in salt,
though in that case do not scald them.
3. Salt fish are quickest and best
freshened by soaking in sour milk
4. That milk which is turned or changed
may be sweetened or rendered fit for use
again by stirring in little soda.
5. That salt will curdle new milk,
hence in preparing milk porridge,
gravies, ETC., the salt should not be added
until the dish is prepared.
6. That fresh meat, after beginning to
sour will sweeten if placed out of doors
in the cool of night.
z. That clear boiling water will re
move tea stains aud many fruit stains.
Pour the water through the stain and
thus prevent it spreading over the fabric.
&. That ripe tomatoes will remove ink
and other stains from white cloth; also
from the hands.
.. That tablespoonful of turpentine
boiled with your white clothes will aid
in the whitening process.
10. That boiled starch is much i'm
proved by the addition of little sperm
or a little salt, or a little gum arabic
dissolved.
II. That beeswax and salt will make
your rusty fiat irons as clean and smooth
as glass. Tie lump of wax in bag
and keep it for that purpose. When
the irons are hot, rub them first with the
wax rag, then scour with a paper or
cloth sprinked with salt
~That blue ointment and kerosene
mig equal proportions and applied
to the steads is an unfailing bedbug
remedy, and that coat of whitewash is
ditto for the walls of log house.
13. That kerosene will soften boots or
shoes that have been hardened by water
and render them as pliable as new.
IA. That kerosene will make tin tea
kettles as bright as new Saturate a
wooden rag and rub with it. 1t will also
remove stains from the clean vanished
furniture.
Is. That cool Iainwater and soda will
remove machine grease from washable
fabrics.

A suggestion tor oId Boxes.

Do mothers and nurses know how
much enjoyment and fun can be had out
of different styles of boxes that we so
ruthlessly destroy2 If all the members
of the family will save the boxes they
will find, some stormy day when children
are forced to remain indoors, that trip
to the attic (where the boxes can be
kept will afford great deal of amuse.
ment. The little girls of the family will
select a good d-sized box for new kind Of
dolls house, aud mamma or nurse can
easily teach them how to cut cardboard
furniture to furnish this little house. II
it is summer time, make tiny house out
of an old cardboard box, and paste on
to it dried moss, then set it on shingle
and have little gravel path leading up
to the door. On one side have bit of
looking glass for pond and some
branches of evergreen boughs for trees.
You can add whatever else you like TO
make it look like an old fashioned farm
house. This simple toy has kept little
girls happy for whole summers.
The boys can use the boxes for thea
tres, Punch and Judy and many different
kinds of shows.
The baby will be amused with an old
TIN DoX, some beans or pebbles put inside,
and the outside covered with some bright
colored flannel after the cover is firmly
fastened. This will make good rattle,
and if string be tied to the box
it can be drawn on the floor, or be sus-
pended from the chandelier aud swung
if the baby is too young to walk.
All these simple things have been
helps to many mothers and nurses on
rainy days, when the expensive toys Of
the nursery have grown old and the lit
tie children are longing for something
new.
When you go away from home for the
summer put some boxes and bright col.
ored papers and cloths into your trunk
you will find them useful and very ac-
ceptabe when the children cannot have
their own nursery or the toys it contains.

REUBEN JAMES.

Three ships Of war had Preblc when he left
the Naples shore,
md the mighty king Of Naples lent him
seven galleys more;
And never since the Argo fioated in the mid
die sea
Such noble mon and valiant have sailed in
company
AS the men who went with Preblo to the
siege Of Tripoli.
Stewart, Bainbridge, Hull, Decatur, how
their names ring out like gold!-
Lawrence, Porter, Trippe, Macdonough, and
score as true and bold;
Every star that lights their banner tells the
glory that they won;
But one common sailors glory is the splendor
of the sun.
Reuben James was first to follow when De-
catur laid aboard
on the lofty Turkish galley and in battle
broke his sword.
Then the pirate Captain smote him, till his
blood was running fast,
And they grapplsd, and they struggled, and
they fell beside the mast.
Close behind them Reuben battled, with a
dozen, undismayed.
TIL q bullet broke his sword arm, and he
dropped the useless blade.
Then a swinging Turkish sabre Glove his left
and brought him low,
Like gallant bark, dismasted, at the mercy
Of the foe.
Little mercy knows the corsair; high his
blade was raised to slay,
When richer prize allured him where De
catur struggling lay.
"Helpl" the Turkish leader shouted, and hi
trusty comrade sprung,
And his scime;ar like lightning Ger tn,
Yankee Captain swung.
Reuben James, disabled, armless, saw tine
sabre flash on high,
Saw Decatur shrink before 1t, heard tn,
pirates taunting cry,
Saw, in half the time tell it, how sailoi
brave and true
Still might show bloody pireto what q dyinl
man can do.
Quick he struggled, stumbling, sliding in th
blood around his feet,
AS the Turk moment waited to make ven
geance doubly sweet
Swift the sabre fell, but swifter bent tn
sailors head below,
And upon his fenceless forehead Reubei
James received the blow
SO was saved our brave Decatur; so th
common sailor died;
So the love that moves the lowly lifts tn
great to fame and pride.
Yet we grudge him not his honors, for whom
love like this had birth,
For God never ranks His sailors by tn

The Gulf Stream.

The main Gulf Stream is said to end
on the south side of the Banks Of New
foundland; at all events, the stream di-
vides there, the larger branch crossing
the Atlantic northward TO the coast OF
Northern Europe, passing the North
Cape and becoming undisting
near Nova Zembla. The smaller branch
crosses eastward, curves southwark be-
tween the Azores and Portugal, sending
out smaller branches into the Irish and
Mediterranean seas, and joins the north
equatorial current, with which it returns
10 the Gulf OF Mexico, and so completes
the circuit. Thus the most northern
point reached is near Nova Zembla, the
most southern near the equator. 1t
touches the United States, Newfound-
land, the British Isles, Norway, Port
ugal aud Morocco. The equatorial cur
rents touch the eastern coast of South
America and the western coast of Africa.
The Japan stream touches Japan and
Corea, Kamschatka and Alaska, and the
western corst of North America and the
Mexican coast, flowing almost as far
south as the equator. PHILADELPHIA CGH

LovE-LIGHT.

All thro' the house can hear her voice,
Sunshine, my Sunshine,
Scattering gladness, bidding rejoice,
My fair Sunshine.
In my lady's chamber away upstairs,
Sunshine, my Sunshine,
She is chanting snatches of carolling airs,
My fair Sunshine,
She is laughing now in the children's glee,
Sunshine, my Sunshine,
Blithely the echoes float in to me;
My fair Sunshine.
In white she flashes adown the stair,
Sunshine, my Sunshine;
Her quick, light foot patters there,
My fair Sunshine.
A moment her face shines in at the door,
Sunshine, my Sunshine,
And the room turns light, it is dark no more
My fair Sunshine.
With white hand waved and kiss air
blown,
Sunshine, My Sunshine,
She has passed and vanished my love, my
own,.
