contain complete novel. biography or travels.f

the WEEKLY WISCONSIN. The works to bel
printed will be original and select novels and!
biography from the current iterature OF the
day. This method Of giving to the readers o.
the WISCONSIN number Of serial stories
during the year will relieve the columns OF the
main paper for other matters more appropre1
ately within the province of newspaper. ~
has become the custom Of many OF the leading
newspapers Of the country to publish, from
week to week, instruments Of serial stories In
the columns of the paper. The WISCONSIN,
has not been in the habit of publishing this
kind of literature; but in order to meet =
popular demand for this class Of reading. W.
have determined upon the publication Of Q
work such as we have above described. TH3
NEWSPAPER LIBRARY, as we propose -
publish it in connection with the WEEkLN

The Great London Strikes.

LONDON, August 2.--The strike sit
suation is unchanged. 1t is rumored
that the printers intend joining in it.
Ships are being unloaded at Chatham
and Southampton without interfer-
ence. The Lord Mayor has refused to
become the arbitrator of the differ
ences between the men and their en-
pioyers, fearing lest it might conflict
with his judicial duties. One hundred
and thirty thousand coal porters at inn
portant centres are joining the strik-
ers. Two hundred and fifty steamers
are lying in the docks awaiting car
goes. The Riverside factories, en-
'ploying thousands of hands, are clos
Ing for lack of coal. The printers en-
ployed by the firms of Eyre & Shottis-
woode, Cassell & Co. and Waterloo &
Son have struck.
One hundred thousand striking dock
,laborers marched in procession to-day.
They were orderly. Coal men in thou
bands have Joined the strikers, and the
Situation shows no signs of improve
h6ent. Meetings of employers and
rkmen continue to be held, but
bout result. The directors of the
mercial Dock Company have de-
ID an offer of the services of 5000
han laborers at 43d. per hour.

| LONDON, September .2.-TEc grcat
strike is still in fnrce, and the situation
of affairs this morning may he said to
bc unchanged. Neither side has made
Il move yet TO. day, and it is not given
to say now what the day may bring
| forth.
There are sings of grumbling among
, the strikers over the division of relief
! funds. The stevedOres complain that
they are not receiving their proper
share of the funds. But the men gem
orally stand firm, and there is nothing
like serious disaifaction in the ranks.
Information has been received by
the police and by Home Secretary
Matthews to the effect that Burns to-
day urged the strikers to proceed to the
docks and eXpel men working there.
The dock companies express them
selves as better satisfied with the aspect
of affairs. They have increased the
number of men ut work, composed of
strikers who.have given up the fight
and new men. The officials of the
companies state that plenty of labor
would be obtainable if the strikers
pickets were abolished. 1t is asserted
that there is split amongst the strik-
ers, and that Il small committee has
been appointed looking to the aband-
onmcnt of the strike. The Rochester
coal whippers and barge men visited a
large number of vessels in River Med
way and forcibly compelled men at
work thereon to cease operations.
Three thousand tailors struck this
molning and are parading the streets.

Another Discovery.

A CINCINNATI PHYSICIAN SAYS THAT
RHEUMATISM IS CAUSED BY BACILL1.
Only those who have been afflicted
can tell the agonies of a rheumatic at
tack, and especially one of long stand
ing.
street, a highly reputable physician,
himself q victim for six years of the
dread disease, has probed the mysteries
surrounding its cause. The doctor has
been q great student of the microscope,
and many of the results of his re-
searches have met with the most
hearty Endorsement by his professional
brethren and have proved Invaluable
to them.
One day last January, when he was
experiencing unusual pain III. one or
his ankles, which was considerably
swollen, he inserted q hypodermic syr-
inge into the aching member and re-
moved q LIQUID. This, under micro
scope, to his surprise, proved to be full
of minute creatures, bacilli.
They looked liked very tiny pieces OF
thread. Further investigation showed
that these baeilli existed at all points
where the rheumatism held forth.
II had always suspected" SAID the
doctor, "a germ of some nature was
!. the root of the evil, but could not de-
termine whether the infiammatory
process was produced by a crystal, u
fungus or bacillus, but all these eX-
aminations conclusively showed that 1t
was bacillus" w
~ "What gives rise to these bacilll"
"Their breeding places are in decay
ing vegetation. Young plants in q
room are propagators, and they Will
come from any place where matters
are undergoing decay. The spores
from such are carried into the atmos-
phere by the evaporating of moisture
say the water that is sprinkled on
plants-and thence passes into the
lungs. The healthy action Of the kid
neys are first destroyed by their pres
ence in the blood, thereby preventing
the proper elimination of the constitu-
ents of the urine, and, consequently,
causing their accumulation in the sys-
tenn. AS the kidneys cannot relieve
the gathering of the salts, the skin
takes up the waste and the profuse acld
sweats constitute one of the character
istic phenomena of acute rheumatlsm.
I had always had a great many plants
in my house, and after my researches
removed them and took medicine to
destroy the bacilli. I have not had a
pain since.'
"You think growing plants are dam
gerous, then?"
aWhere they are kept in rooms oc-
!. eupied by people very much. Since
deRnuary 8, I have kept up my in
G3iries, and of the many patients l
haSa examined I traced the start of
their $isease to all such surroundings.
I am cAnfident it is the only cause, and
that thS bacilli are born thereby."-

Down on the Sparrow.

AS mentioned in the american
Farm Netos last month, the Enghsh
SPARROW, or what is more commonly
known as the house sparrow, was first
brought to this country in 1850. In
1853 they were first let loose in the
grounds of Greenwood Cemetery, n.
Y. Since that time they have rapidly
spread over this country until to-day
they are found in more than one-ha1f
of the States. They nave proved a
great disappointment: to the people OF
this country who were not acquainted
. with their habits. 1t was expected
that they would help to annihilate the
caterpillars and worms that infest the
trees, especially in the cities.
But this has not been realized to any
ueat extent. The sparrow prefers
yin for food, as recent tests have
dearly shown, and when he can salts.
ny his voracious appetite by fOraging
the grain fields, the caterpillars and
{ worms are safe. He is bound to entail
immense loss upon the country in
years to come, for he has come to stay.
The general verdict is that the spar
row is a nuisance and an expensive

were it possible, but if this cannot be
done we should not hesitate to put a
check upon this insolent, voracious
foreigner by chasing him with our en-
9emies and using every means possible
to destroy and rid the country Of them.
Very little can be said to shield the
parties who introduced these miserable
creatures to this country from blame
for infiicting such u calamity upon the
: people of this country, for they had
been recognized as a nuisance all over

as an excuse.

Conceit may puff man up, but
never prop him up.
He that may hinder mischief, and
yet permits it, is an accessory.
Men are never so likely to settle a
question rightly us when they discuss

No evil is insupportable but that

He who defers his charities till his

The purified righteous man has be-

impress of his King stamped upon
him.
There are sweet surprises awaiting
many an humble soul fighting against
great odds in the battle of a seemingly
commonplace life.
If there was nothing beyond the
brief and changing present there
would be nothing worth living for and
nothing to die for.
It is astonishing how soon the whole
conscience begins to unrayel If sim
gle stitch drops one single sin irdulg-
ed in makes hole you could put your
head through.
A mans moral being is concentrated
in every second of his life; it lives IN
the tips of his fingers, and the spring
of his insteps. A very little thing
tries what man is made of.
Grant me more confidence in Thy
love, o Father, and enable me to real
ize that with Thy blessing the. work OF
the feeblest and weakest of Thy chill
dren may be fruitful unto God.
Clear the window of the soul of cob.
webs, spider-weaved by prejudice and
unbelief and sin, that through faiths

through the gate into the heavenly
city.
Many favors which God giveth us

though prayer purchaseth blessings,
giving praise doth keep the quiet pos
session of them.
Simplicity and purity are the two
wings by which O man is lifted up
above all earthly things. Simplicity is
in the intention purity IN the a1fec-
ton. Simplicity tends to God, purity
apprehends and tastes him.
