How to Put on Gloves.

A great deal depends on the first
putting on of gloves. Have the hands
perfectly clean, dry and cool says the
Dry Goods Chronicle, and never put ON
new gloves while the hands are warm
or damp. Where a person is troubled
with moist hands it is we'll to powder
Them before trying on the gloves; but
in most cases, if the hands are dry and
cool, this is not needed. First, work on
lhe fingers, keeping the thumb outside
of the glove and the wrist of the glove
turned back. When the fingers are in
smoothly put in the thumb and work
the glove on very carefully, then plac-
ting the elbow o. the knee, work on the
hand. When this is lone smooth down
the wrist and button the second button
first, then the third, and SO on to the end.
Then smooth down the whole glove and
fasten the first button, Fastening the
first button last when putting
on q glove for the first time makes a
good doal of difference in the fit. al
though it may seem but a very little
thing. 1t does not strain the part of the
glove that is the easiest to strain at first
and prevents the charging of the but
ton-hole, either of which is sure to take
place if you begin at the first button to
fasten the glove.
When removing gloves never begin
at the tips of the fingers to pull them
off, but turn bach the wrist and pull off
carefully, which will, of course, neeessi-
tate their being wrong side out. Turn
them right side out, turf the thumb in,
smooth them lengthwise in as near as
possible the shape they would be il on
the hands, and place away with a strip
of white cantGn flannel between il the
gloves are light, but if dark colored the
flannel may be omitted. Never roll
gloves into each other in a wad, for
they will never look as we'll after.
There is always some moisture in them
from the hands, consequently, when
rolled up this moisture has no chance of
drying and must work into the gloves,
making them hard and stiff and of very
little use after as far as looks or 6t are
concerned.

Obtaining Money by Apparent At

An exciting cen was witnessed by
the people who were walking along the
quays in the neighborhood of the Pont

Paris correspondent. Just as the crowd

AS he was struggling in the water an

the cash which he had about hin pre-

this bright example the crowd, which
had mustered in force, pressed silver
and copper coins on the pOyerty-stricken
individual who had sought a watery
grave. Soon a very fair sum OF money
was in his possession, and, with many
protestations of gratitude and promises
that he would endeavor in future to take

mornings to glance through the columns Of

double-leaded editorials regarding the pro-
grcss the paper is making, its increasing cir
culation, that it not for sale, that its job de-

Der OF papers actually IN circulation. This is

such as the Republican claims it is, and
something must therefore DO wrong with the

them with rations in gradually dimin-
lshlng quantities for ten years. AS a
loan, to be ultimately repaid, supply
each family with limited amount OF
STOCK. Farming and the care of stock
should be taught by boss farmers; trades
and the use of tools should be taught in
industrial schools; and English should
be taught compulsorily in common
schools. Have the Indians supplied
with garments of civiIizatioll-above all
with hats, and with coats instead of
blankets; deprive them of rifles and
pistols, and allow them shotguns;
employ measures to prevent immoral
ity, SO far as possible. At the end of ten
years withdraw government patronage
and let the red men shift for themselves.
Have their lands inalienable and IN
m2rtgageable for a second period of ten
years. On its face the plan seems a
good one, for it contemplates the civil
ization anG elevation of the Indian, and
the throwing of him upon his own re-
sources and making him responsible for
his conduct. One cause of the
failure Of the Indian policy Is the
fact that the government regan by
treating the aborigines as wards in
capable of caring for themselves ana
of being brought to plane of respon-
sibility and civilization. Whatever
NAV have been the intention the line OF
&C ion has been as if the purpose were
to half feed the Indians until they died
off and The race became extinct. The
effect has been in perfect harmony
with this policy, for comparatively lew
of the Indians are to-day any nearer
civilization or any nearer INCL
y;dual responsibility than they were
tgenty-6ve or more years ago. Inc
great majority OF them are still helpless
wards of the nation, dependent on
ration day rather than on their own
efforts for a living. If some are al
yaoced and are esrping their own llVil-
hood, are abandoning their manner OF
existence, and gathering about them
property, it is because humanitarian
societies and individuals have exerted
themselves in behalf of the fast-dis-
appearing race.

the nation neglected tot restrain. Not
only this, but the militia supplied itself
WITH ammunition, provisions, and
transportation, serving without COM
pensatlon and bearing its own
expenses. Furthermore, those citizen
soldiers were called into the field for
tnls duty by the Federal authority.
some OF the campaigns were long and
arduous, such as only brave and hardy
men could endure, and the dangers and
prlVatlons were severe. Similar and
less meritorious claims from other
States and Territories have been paid
ana the militia received compensation
Tor Its service; but Utah's just bill has
been ignored if not forgotten by the
nation, though it will never pass from
the memory of those familiar with the
Indian wars between 1864 and 1867.
The Federal treasury is OVERLOOKING
with money, and Congress is davising

wealth taken from the people. Per-
haps if our cleims were POW presented

THE STRIKE Lesson.

The Reading strike has virtually
come to an end, and the men are re
turning to work, or as many OF them
are doing so as the company will take
back into its employ. The strike pre-
sented its lesson, and it is the same Old
story of weak-minded, foolish meu sub
hitting to the dictation OF unwise lead
ers. the story of self imposed privation
and suffering, OF foolish desperation and
loss, of dissipation and OF final sur
render unco additionally. This is the story
that strikes nine times out of ten tell. 1t
is hardly worth while to suggest that
there is a lesson in the outcome Of the
Reading affair, for that lesson will not
be needed by the next gang of laborers
that as union binds Itself to be guided
and directed by some c'eVer-tongued
bIatherskite who succeeds in making
better men believe that he is wiser and
smarter than they simply because he
has g. peter address and can talk more
glibly. The lesson taught by this strike
IS that the loss in wages to railroad en-
ployees is 1872, 900, and the loss to coal
miners $3.50 600. These figures are upon
the basis of an average pay rate CT 81
per day in the case OF each employee.
The loss of wages caused by the COM
pulsory closing Of the iron furnaces on
account of the strike is placed at $3.50,
600 unon the basis OF q pay rate OF 81 90
per day per man. That is, wages
ting TO upward Of 81 G00 eco rave
been lost during the strike. 1t s also
estimated that the Reading companies
have lost about 100000, and that the
advance on the cost Of coal, incident to
to the strike. reache d a total of $40, 600.
Altogether the loss by the strike is over
100000. If the men who WELD the
pick and handle the shovel, who
wind the brakes and load the
cars, who earn their living
by honest labor, would read these fig
ures intelligently, they would say to the
Master Workman, the executive COM
mittee or the walking delegate who told
them to quit work, leave US to our
selves; let US alone to gain livelihood,
and do not interfere to deprive Us and
our families of the means OF existing"
And if the union bosses insisted upon
ordering the men out, the latter would
"fre" the bosses bodily, and thus free
themselves from the temptations of
the lazy, mischievous blatherskites
who manage to live in luxury off the
earnings of their poor dupes. But
the workingmen will not say
or do these things. They will
listen to the seductive voices of
their enemies, and will believe that
they can earn more money by doing
nothing than by laboring for their wa
ges; they will believe this until their
little substance has been consumed and
w.nt and starvation have shown them
their error and driven them back to
work. Then they will forget agar and
again strike, going through life IN the
most miserable manner possible. This
has been the rule since there were
unions and blatherskites at thelf
head, and why should we expect any
change?
