day.
FALL RIVER, Mass, March 9.-The
absorbing question in this city tonight
is, how many of the fifty thousand looms
which stopped at the usual hour this
afternoon will start up Monday. At tie
weavers' hall tonight the officers of the
union and the executive committee were
busy arranging the details and plans for
carrying on a strike. Members of the
board of trade and snill treasurers gener-
ally state their belief that the strike will
not be general and will be of short
duration

Bad News From logging Districts.

MINNEAPOLIS, March 1.-THE Tribune's
Chippewa F alls' special says the warm
spring-like weather of the past week has
melted the little snow remaining and
crushed the last hopes Of loggers who
have worked their men night and day for
the past month to get logs to the banks.
Men are coming out of the woods
every day, and another week will
find the logging operations practically
uspended. The result of this winters
work will be disastrous to many logging
concerns. Almost every camp on the
east and west tributaries of the Chippewa
river have broken up, leaving millions of
skidded logs unbanked. The same can
be said of the camps on most other riv-
erS.

or 1887. The average price is less than
IN December. The March average for
merchantable cora is 33.9 cents per
bushel; for understandable, 228 cents
per bushel. The general average of seven
states, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa,
Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska, % Sc. per

Difficulties Looked For.

SAN Francisco, March 11.-ln an inter
view today, President Spreckles, OF the
Oceanic company, said: Il do not ex-
poet our steamers to run to Samoa and
New Zealand after the end Of October
The colonies have taken decided stand
against maintaining a line any longer
unless the United States bears one-halI
of the total cost. The service may not
cease entirely, because the North Ger
man LIoyds company are arranging
to secure it. They are running
steamers from Germany TO Sydney
and are anxious to extend the service
which would be part Of their Samoan
policy. Their steamers would stop al
Samoa as ours do now, and the Germans
would control this Poetic trade. With
out aid. and according to foreign steam
ship lines, we cannot compete with them
and would not attempt to do so. The
North German Lloyds receive enormous
subsidy from the Gesman government
such as we could never hope for.

THE RED-HEADED GIRL.


She is coming! Make way for her chariot
wheels;
She drives but white horses, the editors say;
let pedantry take to its loud Boosting heels,
While honesty, simple and genial, feels
A thrill OF new life from the power OF her
sway.
She mounts to no platform-she never may
vote,
And little she mourns for the rights OF her
race;
But dishonor and frsud-she can read them py
note;
She Judges no man by the cut Of his coat
But will tell your true life by the lines Myour
face.
She may not be handsome, or witty, or gay;
She may never set any mans head in whrl !;
But she buckles to work, while her mates are
at play,
And the fash OF her eyes seems plainly to say
1.-The world shall yet honor one redheaded
girl"
A score of white horses may walk in her train,
And newspapers publish the stale paragraph
She passes them by with happy disdain-
With malice toward none, and no personal PAIN
She cheerfully joins in the general laugh.
They say that the gallows has finished its day
Electricity soon will give culprits Whirl
Off nto the future-be that as it may;
You had better be hung in the good old way
Than to merit the scorn OF red-headed girl
Emma Lyndon, in Yankee Blaze.

ceived by her yolubility, and set 1t down 10
childish lack of Judgment.
She could talk, always talk. and seeing no
visible signs that his economic homilies mad
taken root, he went on preaching and dwell
ing upon the need of saving and self-denial'
until there was scarcely any other subject
preached between them.
One day few weeks after the first ami
versary of their marriage bright IDEA
struck Maria. At one happy blow it cut the
knot that had so long baf1led her How
strange she had not thought of it before!
10, John" she cried, as her husband en-
tered the room an hour before dinner, i've
such splendid idean'
"That so!" said John calmly, shaking the
snow from his hat into the coal scnttle, tax
ing off his coat aid carefully putting it over
shoulder wire before hanging 1t behind
the bed room door.
Maria was in such a fervor Of satisfaction
with herself she was disposed not to be too
sudden with her revelation.

The Lost Atlantis.

For many centuries there has been ira
dition of a long lost island called Atlantls.
The Greek geographers located it in the
Atlantic Ocean, west of the northwest part
of Africa and the Pillars Of Hercules. The
sea.kings of Atlantis are said to have To-
vaded Europe and Africa and to have been
defeated by the Athenians
All the legends agree that it was vast
island, of inexhaustible resources, and ln-
habted by a race of superior people. For
ages this island has existed only in legend
arv lore, But now. when the light OF mod
ern research is turned full upon the inyestl-
cation, behold the lost Atlantis at our very
doors.
So the bigoted medical fraternity goes
cropping about in the dark, seeking for an
Atlantis or Esculapius, when ii they would
investigate, they would behold the lost At
lantis at their very door With their an
Gent text book, a case of physic, paper IN
their waistcoat giving them license to prac-
tice, experiment and dose with their injurl-
Gus drugs, cauterize and perform unneces-
sary acts, with no person or laws to hold
them accountable, they continue their big
| oted, unjustiiied practice, staring into va
cancy, and imagining that they see in them
selves al Esculapius.
Wrapped in ancient bigotry, they are cry
ing out against all improvements that have
been made in medical science. They de-
nounce any new idea advanced by a layman
| or an opposition school as fraud.
Whya :.
Because humanity will not be benefited!
Not at all, but because their speclallsm old
not make the discovery.
Yet they concede that there is no remedy
known to their materia medica that will
cure an advanced kidney malady and the
diseases arising therefrom-although many
of them know from GROWING proof that
Warmers Safe Cure will-but unscrupu
lousy treat symptoms and call them dis
ease, when in reality they know they are
but symptoms.
A few of the more honest physicians ad
NIT that Warmers Safe Cure is valuable
remedy, and great blessing to mankind
but say, in so many words, when asked VIII.
they do not prescribe it, that they can not
according to their code.
/ Nevertheless, the world is fast becoming
Y satisfied that the cure for kidney and live
diseases, in whatever form or condition, ha
:, been discovered, and there is no doubt bu
8 what Warmers Safe Cure and its fame viii
C live long after such bigotry as we have II
t stanced is dead and buried.
i The late eminent physician and writer, d.
J. G. Holland, published IN "Scribner
Monthly" and showed his opinion of sue
higotry, and no doubt was satisfied that A
n lantis might possibly be discovered i'll pr
l. prietary medicine, when he wrote editoria
ly, as follows:
= "Nevertheless, it is fact that many
;. the best proprietary medicines OF the da
;. were more successful than many of the phi
sicians, and most OF them, it should be
membered, were first discovered or used
actual medical practice. When, howeve
| any shrewd person, knowing their virtu
! and foreseeing their popularity, secures al
advertises them, then, in THE opinion OF tt
u bigoted, all virtue went out of them"

Interspersed throughout this was car fare
every day, and quite as frequent recur'
renee of caramels. AS John read his wife
became silent; he could not see her face.
He made rapid summary OF the items,
no more embarrassed by sevcns and mines,
Maria observed than she would have been

tect him in adding by means OF his fingers
which gave her an increased opinion OF hi
business capacity.
He announced the result, 1859.

me?" cried Maria, with nervous little
laugh, sit can't be half that"
John made another agile computation
aloud to verify the first; Mrs. Shipping

THE selection of seed is a very important
matter. Whether one imports fresh seed
from another farm and district, or continues
to use home grown potatoes, a SELECTION OF

benefits more from q frequent change OF
seed than potatoes, and this is ali the more
commendable on account Of the increasing
liability to disease.
