A NEW PLAN FOR HOME RULE.

A plan of home rule that is to
inclde England, Scotlan d and
Wales, as well as Irsland, has been
advanced by some of the leading
followers of Mr.. Gladstone. 1t
proposes a Federal Union, with To-
cal governments in each country,
something after the plan of the
American Union. Each of the
countries are to be allowed to regu-
late all matters of purely local
concern, while the crown would
have a general authority over
each, and a general parliament
would legislate on MATES of con-
Germ to the whole empire.
Many things combined have sug-
gested to the Gladstohians that
this broader plan for home rule for
Ireland is more likely to meet
with success. Among them is
the fact that the question of sep
Grating church from state is rapid
ly pushing to the front in Scotland
and Wales, and with local legis-
lative government it could very
easily be settled, This system, it
is claimed, would make less ap-
parent the concession to Ireland,
and there would be no excuse for
the fears of the unionists that au-
tonamy would be followed by
revolt of that country from all al
legiance to the empire. 1t is be-
1ieved to be true that if each of
these countries were balanced
against each other by local self
government, each would be in
spired by a pride in maintaining
the integrity and dignity of the
whole, such as is the case in the
United States of America. Mr..
Gladstone has not yet given his
opinion regarding this plan, but
ibis said that he is considering it
very carefully.

Gorballis 6a5ette,
POISON IN MILK.

On the Fourth OF July at a pic
mic in AdaH, a little town in Iowa,
a large number of people were
seriously poisoned. The matter
was referred to the state board of
health, and a thorough investiga-
tion resulted in the conclusion that
the illness of the picnickers was
caused by tyrotoxicon, or cheese
poison, all acid fluid containing
microbes, which is developed in
decomposing milk or cheese.
This poison, which is a new dan
ger to human life, was discovered
by Professor Naughn, of Ann Ar
sbor, Mich, in 1888. Until that
time sickness that often-times at
tacks peoble at picnics and indoor
festivals after eating freely of ice
cream was generally supposed to
be caused by paison developed
by contact of acid in the cream or
milk with the metallic vessels in
which it had been prepared and
frozen. At this day, however, the
theory of the formation of the new
poison, under certain not yet clear
ly understood conditions, is gener-
ally accepted, and, as result, ice
cream is more carefully prepared
and milk is guarded more closely
against decomposition than form
ely.
A physician clitimes that tyro-
toxicon has undoubtedly been the
cause of thousands of deaths
among childred who have succum-
bed to stomach and bowel com
plants, incident to the summer
months. And the disordered con-
dition of children which prompts
a physician to advise a change of
milk may, i'll a large number of
instances, be traced to careless
ness with the milk on the farm or
dairy, or to the neglect of the lac
teal fluid by the parents of the sick
child.
Many physicians are abandoning
the "milk from the cow" theory,
on the ground that the average
health of herd of COWS is better
than the average condition of one
animal. The one and only cause
of the many diseases resulting from
drinking milk is that it has not
been properly taken care of. The
exercise of little more caution
will cause tyrotoxicon to fade en-
tirely from notice.

THE COST OF STIK ES.

One of the notable features of
the recent report of Carroll d.
Dwight, United States Commits
sioner of the National Bureau OF
os Labor, is its statistics upon the
cost Of strikes. The aggregate ex-
pense of these quarrels between
capital and labor during the last
six years has been the enormous
sum of $9O,Oo0,OOo, of which two
thirds has fallen as burden upon
labor.
1t would seem that the labor
associations and theorists of the
country would perceive the folly of
strikes, and instaed of advising
them aud aiding participants in
them, would devise some better
plan for bringing capital to view
the justice Of their demands. Some
of the leaders of the laborers have
indeed learned this wisdom. Pow
derly has long discountenanced
strikes. Chief Arthur of the So
ciety of Locomotive Engineers has
stated that he wonid never sane
ton another strike. When the
labor power of society adopts gen.
orally this view of strikes the out
look for an amicable adjustment of
the wages problem will be more
hopeful than it can be while the
danger of strikes exist.

Among the other good things that
Senator TON" Palmer, of Michigan,
has said is recorded the following:
In a little gathering at his house q
young congressman from Massachu-
sets, said: Senator Palmer, l pre-
sumo that between legitimate lumber
ing, timber thieves, forest fires ETC.,
Michigan is pretty fully denuded of her
timber CROP
Senator Palmer looked at the young
congressman commiseratingly for a
few seconds and then said in his fine
German silver voice: young man,
there is enough lumber standing in
Michigan today TO build q fence ff-
teen boards high three times around
the earth once a year for fifteen years.
Now, that's an easy thing TO reckon,
as it is %, 600 miles around the world.
Go and reckon it up, and you can set

a telegraph operator in Minneapo-
lis has invented a word counting ma
chine which may be used by itself or
attached TO n typewritev. II is much
the same sort of thing as a pedometer,
only it is o accurate. 1t is as large
as a small clock. The works are in
side the nickel case, on one side of
which is the face. The machine will
count up TO 2, 500 words, and can be
used for any number by keeping tally
of the number of times IL passes the
2 800 mark. There arc two hands like
the hour and second hand of the
watch. Every time n word on the
typewriter is finished the same motion
which spaces for the word registers
on the word counter. When the
second hand counts up to twenty-five
words the large hand moves forward n
quarter of n space. The face is divi-
ded into twenty five spaces, one for
each hundred words, and n glance at
it shows at once how many words
have been written.
The use of the word counter is not
limited TO typowriting machines, but
it can be used in writing and in dicta-
ton by keeping it ut hand and max
II slight pressure at the end of each
word. Some operators attach it TO
their desks and work il with q string
attached to their feet. II is n useful
invention, especially in biography,
and in making an article of a speci.

An English sailor was employed in
cleaning the side of a ship in the har-
Dor of Sierra Leone, when he sud
denly disappeared from the view of
his astonished messmates. He had
his feet in the water as he sat at his
work, and he was singing n song.
He never came TO the surfece. His
friends were far from s~uspecting the
cause of his disappearance until a day
Or two after, when one of his limbs
was discharged from the NAV of a
captured shark. The shark had
caught him by the foot and dragged
him down, and, as there was too much
reason to believe, had waged a fierce
fight over his remains with a swarm
of other monsters of the same species.
No single circumstance of horror
seems wanting TO the story of this
poor fellows doom; and, to complete
the count, we have the almost fateful
carelessness by which it was brought
about. Only a sailor, perhaps, would
have shown such indifference to a per-
fectly well known danger of tropical
seas. His snatch of song at the mo
ment of his disappearance seems the
most cruel touch of all.-London
