The June pay roll shows that there was one
hundred and two men employed by day work
in the month of June, fifty-one of these are
down as laborers who are credited with an
average of 1854 days each, sixteen as caIkers
at an average OF 1874 days each at 81 per day.

average of 2SSI days each. One of these fore
men makes 3i94 days at 50 per day. The other
two make % days each at So 50 per day OWill
Capt. Lusk state whether the last two who are
rated as foremen are not clerksO. There are
Tour engineers and six hremen regularly
employed. Inc engineers make II hours per

during the week who relieve the engineers
every Sunday, one OF these made IL DAYS in
June and the other days. while two of those

It is hardly necessary to tell the
readers of the TRIBUNE that Francis
Murphy is ono of the most effective
temperance lecturers that ever raised
voice against the evils of drunken
ness. In our opinion a more earnest
and conscientious temperance advo-
cate never lived. But he is not u
prohibitionist. In a recent Interview
he is reported to have uttered the fol-
lowing, which is, in our opinion, the
most compact and forcible answer 10
the volumiuous arguments of prohi-
bitionists that was ever placed on
record:
A man who doesn't drink liquor be-
cause he cannot get it does not de-
serve any praise. A man who does
not steal because he has no Oppor-
tunity deserves no praise as an honest
man. Every brave man who stood
up under the sky has been developed
In the face of great temptation. be-
leve that the gospel OF cowardice ana

tation; that the declaration that the
only way he can resist 1t il to be
locked up in Jail and educated by
penalties and fine, Is to pass away,
and that the prohibitory law OF the
gospel of Jesus Christ is to be en-
throned in the breast Of every son
and daughter of Adam under the
dome of Heaven. If thy right eye
offend thee pluck it out, and II thy
right hand offend thee cut it off. BY
the grace of God, this great lesson
must be learned by every man and
woman. tits time for the church OF
God to pause and cease running to
the legislature to save them from
their sins. Acts of the Legislature,
like Moses, always die within sight Of

A queer state affairs exist in the
English parliament when members of
that august body protest against the
extravaganza of the royal family and
contrast the expenses of running the
United States government with that
OF England. During the discussion
In parliament last week on the ques-
ton of royal grants, Mr.. Labouohere
ridiculed Mr.. Smiths assertion of
economy in the English system, call
ing attention to the fact that while
the president of the United States re-
ceives only $4,000 annually, the
queen and her family receive $780,
200. He said the time had come to
deal finally with grants to royalty.
The supporters of the amendment
were determined to oppose further
grants to junior members OF the royal
family. The extreme limit of the
nations grants ought to be the child
rem Of the sovereign. It was impossi-
BILE for the country to submit to the
burden Of an indefinite number of
grand children. Indefinite number
Of grand children" That's good. No
wonder England is becoming alarmed
over the matter of providing for the
wants of Queen Victoria's numerous
family.

The Bull Dogs Disposition.


The bull dog is much more easy to
train and control than is generally sup
posed. I am convinced that he possesses
quite as much brain power as any Of the
larger dogs. His appearance is very
much against his character for gentle
ness and this has caused people to shun
and avoid him, so that his disposition,
however pleasant it may have been orig
inally, has been made cross and savage
by the treatment which he has received,
though he is even now much less ferocious
than he is believed to be. No dog is ca
pable of greater affection than he, or
shows more gratitude for any kindness.
Pure high bred dogsof any kind are hard
to train, for the reason that they are too
high spirited. The mongrels of the street
can be much more easily trained, because
they can be much more easily controlled.

Excursionists who travel along the
sea coast in summer are often attracted
by the remarkable whiteness of the
lighthouses, beacons and keepers dwell
ings, and they wonder how these guides
to the mariner are kept in such shin
ing condition during the winter as well
as summer. The material used is simply
whitewash, and here Is the United States
government formula for mixing white
wash that when properly made and ap.
piled gives white that does not easily
wash or rub off.

lime add one part Of the best hydraulic
cement. Mix well with salt water and
apply quite thin.-New York Sun.
