professions The list includes only one each
of the following: Hermit, hunter, chemist,
professor, soldier, broker, auctioneer, jockey,
contractor. Nearly all, however, began life
upon the farm.-C. NJ. Hammond in Popular

Effect of Flour Mill Dust.

In order to test the effect of constant inha-
lation of dust in -four mills on theanimal
organism, NJ. L. Poincarre kept guinea pigs
for two years in the most dusty part of a
-four mill-that is to say, the department
where the corn is cleansed from all extrane-
Gus matter by special machine before being
ground. OF twenty animals, ten remained
alive at the end of two years. Those that
died were mostly young ones None of these
showed traces of tuberculosis, but catarrhal
pneumonia, with profuse desquanlation Of
epithelium; also in some cases localized in
terstitial pneumonia and extravasation of
blood. Dust. consisting of grains of starch,
ETC., was found, more particularly On the
nasal mucuous membrane, but only to a
small extent in the bronchi-Lancet.

Tradesmen,s Signs in Russia.

In Holland and Belgium the names of the
railway stations are given in three or four
different languages. In Berlin and in Paris
there is more consideration shown for the
foreigners than in Petersburg. The Russian
thinks that in Russia Russian suffices as a
means of communication. Fortunately in his
shop fronts he mercifully interprets his Cyril
liam characters by that original volapuk Of
the worlds infancy, the picture. The use Of
signs, once Universal in England in an age
when few save the priests could read or write.
is now confined with US almost exclusively to
the public house. In Russia, the number Of
literates being still small in proportion to
the population, the tradesman has recourse,
not to signs, but to the simple and obvious
expedient of painting upon the outside walls
of his establishment more or less vivid pict-
ures of all the articles which he has on sale.
The butchers front is covered with frescoes
of legs of mutton and sirloins of beef. The
green grocer glows Respondent behind a wall
full of painted cabbages, carrots and turnips.
Tempting pictures of the warmest of fur
overcoats proclaim the dealer in winter
wraps. Some of these mural Advertisements
are wretched daubs, US bad as our signboards.
But others are very fairly executed; and,
considering the difficulty Of the subject and
the stucco on which the artist has to work,
the result is not unsatisfactory. The effect
of the whole is to give much more variety
and color to the streets Of St. Petersburg
than we can boast in western capitals.-W.
L. Stead in Contemporary Review.

The Ago of Locomotives.

The average age of locomotives is about
twelve years, yet many, through proper
habits of living, taking their meals regular
and avoiding all Intoxicating beverages, at
tain quite respectable old age. The oldest
running engine in Germany has been on the
road since 1915, and is consequently AZ years
old-quite Methuselah, in fact. With re-
gard to its habits, it has always confined it
self strictly to water, though it has been
addicted to smoking all its life. 1t is sad 70
see locomotive grown prematurely old by
getting on trains and running all night, but
they are often met with in coliisions.-Texas

Progress m-JOincrs Locked
Out-The Danish Poor. Houses.


The 5th of July is the anniversary of
the Danish Constitution. All the par
ties count their adherents on that day.
Demonstrations through the city and
many and long speeches are the features
OF the day.
This year, as usual, the demonstrations
OF the labor party will include the labor
political societies and all the trade
unions of male and female wage workers
One hundred and fifty.four societies
with their flags, most of them red, will
march to the tunes of twenty music
bands. The number of those in the
procession will be about %, 900 men and
women, while large masses of people
will line both sides of the streets. The
demonstration Of the labor party will be
by far the largest Of all, Outside of
the town, on a broad field, where three
platforms are erected, their number will
probably rise to 60,000 Speeches will
be made, labor songs will be given by
choral societies, after which dancing
will be enjoyed by the multitudes who
follow the red flag of Socialism to the
great chagrin Of the bourgeois politician.
Such is the regular but only annual
demonstration in our little Denmark.
a lockout of the Joiners has been
ordered. OF late years the rate of
wages was fixed annually by mutual
agreement between workmen and eul-
ployers. A little while ago the employ
ers gave notice that they would not
longer.pay the same prices as before.
Joint committee of men and bosses
Unsupported to work out new sched-
ule, and "a very moderate one-too mod
crate, in fact-was the result of their
labors. This, however, the bosses re-
fused to ratify, and they finally locked
out their men, with the evident purpose
OF crushing the labor organization.
The Joiners have always stood foremost
in the movement, and have, therefore,
received a great support from the other
trades
There was, until lately, a poor-house
in Korsor, wherc the old men and
women were treated in most barbarous
way. Bodily punishment was inflicted,
imprisonment in dark cellars was fire.
quent, cold water was poured over the
heads of the dissatisfied, and dry crusts
of bread given them. Unable to stand
it any longer or to obtain redress, these
poor laborers repeatedly set fire to the
building until finally they succeeded in
burning it down, The hellish pile Is
now heap of ruins, and in the glare of
the avenging flames the public has at
last learned the condition of affairs in
the poor-houses of Denmark.

We respectively urge that the city =

e ty be jealousy guarded, and that your
honorable body take immediate steps to
prepare it for its ultimate commercial
purpose, by the gradual construction of
comprehensive system of docks, GER
tain percentage of the revenue derived
by the city from the privileges to be
ued for their completion and mainten-
ance, to be reserved for the construction
and maintenance of public parks and
baths in the crowded tenement-house
districts of the city.
10 this end we respectively request
your honorable body to order the Com
missioners of Public Works: First, to
furnish you with the original cost and
present value of the city docks on the
W lter front of New York city, and the
a. nual income derived therefrom by
that municipality. Second, the results
of the private ownership and monopoly
of the water front of Jersey City.
Third, plans and estimates for the gradual
construction of docks on the lake front,

We had splendid meeting on the
Common last Sunday, which lasted
from three until seven o'clock in the
evening. 1t was estimated that fully
three thousand people listened to the
addresses during the afternoon. Craw-
ford 5. Griffin presided, and opened the
meeting with a spirited address on the
necessity Of government owning aud
| operating the railroads, telegraphs, tele-
| phones, etc. Comrade Moulton was
listened to with the greatest attention
when he described the way that the
present capltallstic Legislature of this
commonwealth deliberately made the
Boston and Albany Railroad a gift of
ten million dollars by allowing them to
increase their capital stock, which was
already watered TO about four times its
real value. Most people called it a steal
all around, and amongst the most ar
| dent supporters of the steal were to be
found pretty much all of the Labor re-
formers that disgraced the State House
by their presence. Other speeches We're
delivered by Comrades Taylor, Lee,
Merlllield, Norris and others. Litera-
ture sold well. The mayor has extended
the permit to hold meetings until Oct.
|, when a. further extension may be
granted if desired. The State Central
Committee voted to postpone the State
convention until July q, in order to call
caucuses of the Party for the selection
OF delegates to the convention in con-
formity with the new law, which says
that all members of party must be
notified through the public press to at
tend their primaries and select dele
gates for the purpose of nominating
candidates.
1t is stated around town that some of
the "labor leaders" connected with the

1t is reported that Mrs. Mckay, the
wife of the mining millionaire has sued
two English newspapers for libel for
having eaid that she was the daughter
of a washerwoman, 1t is to be hoped
that she is not such fool. 1t is not a
disgrace to be washerwoman, and it is
a credit to anybody to be a good wash

they may fuse into one. Both will be
called to order on Monday, July Is, at

the election of committees and the de-
livery of speeches. On the following
days there will be two sittings, one in

1t is expected that report will be
made by each nationality represented
at the Congress, upon the labor of that
nationality. Delegates have been sent
from Paris alone by fifty "Cercles
