Labor and one Great Fair.

We are sorry to see the members of
the Carpenters Union so set in their
opinion against the Great Worlds
Fair to be held in New York in 1892.
The argument that it will overcrowd
the city has some truth in it, but, in
0ur judgment, it is more than offset
by the great advantages of the enter
prise.
The mere construction Of the Fair
buildings will give lucrative employ
ment to an army of workinglnen of
all grades of skill for two years. The
preparation of the exhibits will give
scope to the energies of expert labor
ers in all parts of the world, and will
afford them handsome profits. The
care and operation of the exhibits will
keep many hundreds busy.
Then consider the work that will be
made by the city's preparation for its
warm OF visitors, the preparations of
the transportation companies, and the
tens of thousands who will find work
through the activity of the transpor-
tation lines. Finally consider the
development of our industries that, it
is just to expect, will result from the
show-the opening of the new markets
abroad, and the requirement of new
processes at home.
Let us grant that there may be a
brief period Of reaction after the fair
six months, say-but will not the PEG
pie be in good shape to pass through it
after three years of prosperity, and
will not the broader effects of the dis
play of our industries and commerce
cause a very speedy renewal of bust
ness activity and financial liberality2
We think workingmen had better
pause before opposing this great Ma
tional project.

should be thus divided against itself.

MR.. YOUNG'S GIFT.
A Flag for the School He Attended in Hi
a. Youth.

A Flag for the chool He Attended in Hi
49, Youth.
Van Houten Post No. 8, of the Grand
Army of the Republic, is collecting SUBJ
scriptions to a fund for the purchase of a
United States flag for every public school
in the city. There are eighteen school
buildings that are large enough to fly a
flag of their own. and it is proposed to Sc
cure flags for each about twenty-five feet
long.
Although but a short time has elapsed
since the WORK was begun, the receipts
thus far are very gratifying. Among the
prominent gentlemen who have sub
scribed through Mr.. Frank 0. Cole ares
Postmaster Dickinson, Thomas Potter,
Register George B. Fielder, John H. Hud-
son, Commissioner @. H. Benson, Hon.
William Brinkerhoff, Ephraim S., Wells
and e. F. c. Young. Mr.. Young sent a
very nice letter with his subscription, of
which the following is a copy
THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK,
JERSEY Cry, Nov. 25, 1889.
/ enclose my check for the purchasing of a
flag for one of our public schools. II possible
have tn one this check purchases placed on
Public School No. J, in York street.
1t was my pleasure and privilege to have been
one of its first scholars, and that was the school
I left to commence my fight with the world. If
the amount is not sufficient please get the flag
and call on me for the money.
Very truly yours, E. f. G. YOUNG.
There are Il number of other people in
the city who owe all they possess in the
educational line to our public schools,
and it would be q graceful act upon their
part to follow MI. Young's example and
provide a flag for their old school.

A case of mistaken identity involving
elements of dramatic interest sufficient to
make h fortune of a sensational novel
has just occurred in Switzerland. A
young couple named Favre, belonging to
the working class, had lived happily TO-
gether for some years at Neuchatei, when
the husband, a working mason, began to
give way to habits of drinking. Efforts
were made to reclaim him and he became
an abstainer for a time. Some months
ago, however, he broke out again and lett
his home. His wife had heard nothing of
him for three months, when Il night
she was awakened by a voice calling her
repeatedly from the street outside, M
which she felt sure was that OF her nus
band. She rose, dressed n went into
the street, but found no one.
A few days atterward she e an ac-
count in the newspapers of a man who
had committed snicide on the railway,
at a small village near Bale. From the
description of him she suspected it might
be her missing husband, and became full
of the idea that the voice she heard was
a communication from him at the mo-
menu OIL QGabQ. one was ~CurIOuOfdUcu IL
her belief by learning, as the result OF
inquiries, that he had made application
for work at a neighboring quarry, u
being in liquor at the time had been
roughly used by the foreman. The body
for some time now had been inferred,
but in order to put an end to her sus-
pense the poor woman, having got to-
gether a little money, started off with the
determination to have the body disin-
tered. She reached the village, and
after some delay secured permission to
open the grave. With two or three men
as assistants she set to work.
When the coffin was opened her COM
panions ran and left her alone with her
dead. For twenty minutes unaided she
pursued her CHASTITY task The body had
been decapiUated by the train, and the
head, horribly mutilated, was wrapped by
itself in a cloth. She uncovered it and
recognized it by the teeth. One of the
stockings also she knew again from hav-
ing mended it with q particular kind of
worsted. Her worst fears thus confirmed,
she returned homein the depths of sorrow.
The aged mother of the man was informed
of the Identification, and mourning was
being prepared for the whole family when
the browning act of the drama was
furnished by a letter which has been

Another Prohibition Failure.

Now We are told that Plainfieid finds
the absolute prohibition OF the liquor
traffic a fiat failure, and is about TO
restore high license. A New York
newspaper says
No license has not worked well in the town,
and some Of the ministers would rather have
high license than the free-and-eas Temperance
conditions which now prevail. There have been
two conviction for llquor-selling, and it is COM
mon report that plenty of cellars and back
rooms for the sale of liquors are open in the
poorer quarters of Plainfield.
1t is the same old story over and
over again, and yet the unwise friends
of temperance will not see the truth
which is so plain.

from its size. The 800 or more figures
were all photographed separately. The
naturalness of the grouping also adds
greatly to the effect. This big photo
graph occupied eight months in its pro-
duction, and cost something less than
5000. In the immediate foreground the
commander, Colonel Floyd Clarkson, Ad-
jutant Theodore Greig and Colonel James
Hamilton, the senior vice commander of
the post, are standing talking-at least
they seem to be talking, for the conf
mander has his right hand extended as
if emphasizing his remarks. On the left
hand Lieutenant Chauncey M. Depew,
Captain William Mitchell and others
form another little group. And in this
way the picture is made up, from the very
rontr row to the remotest corner of the

How She Learns to swim.

A writer in the Boston Gazette gives
the following description of how the
modern society girl learns to SWIM
Yes" she said, with a giggle and a
shiver. George is goingt to teach me to
swim. Everyone should know how, you
know. 1t isn't safe not to, and George
says he can teach ME in about q minute.
III be right down, George, In a few min
utes." And in three-quarters OF an hour.
after George has ran up and down the
beach six times to keep warm, n swan
around the mackerel fleet twice and duck
ed under seventeen girls who asked him
to do so, she appears, surrounded by q
s~quealing chorus, who telephone from
the hotel to the raft, .Maudie's going to
learn to swim!n After the preparatory
big-toe test of he water, the customary
screech and run back, the customary ok
PLANTATION to the dry people IN the beach
chat tit's as cold as ice!" the customary
efforts of three or four young men to get
her in, the customary clutches and squeals
aud MISUNDERSTANDING, George finally
gets her out to her neck, heads her to-
ward the shore, tells her to have perfect
confidence in him, to rest her chin in his
hand and throw herself on to the water.
Stung by a desire to show her bravery to
the crowd on the beach, she throws herself
with such unexpected force that George
stumbleS and lets her down to Il convent
ent level for swallowing salt water. Five
minutes of r~eproaches, explanations,
sputterings and snufing, and confidence
being restored, Maudie consents to try it
again, but insists that George shall hold
her hands instead of her chin, and, with
another SILVER and giggle she Craps his
wrists and let's herself down, cautiously
this time. ''Oo-oohl l W can-I am
going down-Ge-orge! II you let me down
again Ill never speak to you as long as l

is a great splash, George gets a violent
kick In the stomach and n in the eye,
there is a wild wave of stockined legs in
the air and a tearing up of the sand be-

r
Man is not the only animal who has
discovered this eminently practical di-
vision of the vegetable world into weeds
on the one hand and garden plants on
the other. Our ingenious little six-legged
precursors. the ants, have anticipated us
in this, as in so mauy other useful discov-
cries and inventions. They were the
first gardeners. | need hardly add that
it is an American ant that carries the art
of horticulture to the highest perfection;
only a Yankee insect would be SO adj
vanced, and only Yankee naturalists
would be sharp enough to discover it's
method. This particular little beast who
grows grain resides in Texas, and each
nest owns a small claim in the vicinity of
its mound, on which it c~ultiyates a kind
of grass, commonly known as ant-rice.
The claim is circular, about ten o
twelve feet in diameter, and the ants al
low NJ plant but the ant rice to encroach
Upon the cleared space anywhere. The
produce of the crop they carefully har-
vest, though authorities are still disagreed
upon the final question whether they
plant the grain or merely allow it to SOW
it's own seed itself on the protected area.
One thing, however, is certain-that no
other plant is permitted to sprout on the
tabooed patch; the ants wage war on
weeds far more vigorously and effectively
than our agriculturists. Even in u
less go-ahead eastern continent Sir John
Lubbock has noticed in Algeria (and the
present humble observer has verified the
fact) that ants allow only certain species
of plants, useful to themselves, to grow in
the Immediate neighborhOod of their
nests.-COrnhju MAGAZINE.

Bleaohing Little Heads.

One of the curious features of the pres
emit craze among women to have their
young male offspring resemble in out
ward appearance the good Little Lord
Fauntleroy is their determination 10
make the poor child have blonde hair. 1t
is true that nearly fifty per cent. of the
little mes have this attractive personal
characteristic, but the proportion of them
who wear long hair is very small. A
fashionable hair dresser informed a New
York Times reporter that he had recently
received quite an impetus to his business
by fashionable women who bring their
children to him to have their hair
bleached.
''These ladies are very particular, too,"
said he; they stand over the chair at
each dressing and see that we make no
mistake in the shade. We have prepared.
in consequence, a card ON which are
samples of the various tints we can OBJ
tain in the bleaching process. 1t costs
from S25 to $40 to have the hair colored to
the desired shade. The process is very
simple. Two ounces of peroxide of hy-
drogen applied with a stiff brush will
turn very dark hair int the most beauti-
full Titan red, and repeated applications
make the color so that one may graduate
the shade very accurately"
