''Tirosh," or the Fruit OF the Vine, Used at

ssTirosh," or the Fruit OF the Vine, Used at
the Passover.
A special cause OF the failure Of pro-

apothecaries are allowed to sell intoxi-

mental purposes"
There Is no longer a shadow OF ex-
cuse for this exception. It is now
established. beyond possibility of con-
troversy, that the passover wine. used

Moses for the wine blessed by Isaac in
Gen. xviii Is. 27; and the modes OF its

TELEPHONE VIBRATIONS.

A New Method by Which They Are Made
Visible to the Eye.
At a recent meeting of the Physical
Society, Berlin, DR.. FrOhlich made a
further communication in connection
with his older, resultless experiments
on the objective demonstration of the
vibrations of telephone disk. in order
to describe his new method by which
positive results had been obtained.
In his earlier experiments he en-
ployed manOmetric flames, and en-
deavored to photograph their move
ments with the help of a rotating mir
ror; now, however, he attached a small
mirror to the iron plate of the tele-
phone. and from this the light of an
electric lamp is reflected on to poly
gonal rotating mirror. from which it
falls upon a screen. The vibrations
of the plate were thus made visible on
the screen. and since each side OF the
polygonal mirror cast its own image,
when the mirror was rotated the
curves were seen moving over the
screen. The more rapidly the mirror
was rotated the slower did the curves
move over the screen. and when the
rotation was as rapid as the vibration
Of the plate, the curves became sta
| tionary and could thus be exactly OBJ
served and drawn. These luminous
| curves could also be photographed.
The speaker had employed this method
/ in a series Of researches on certain
electrical phenomena which might in
fuence the efficiency of the telephone.
Thus the action OF alternating cur
rents. OF self-induction. of the rise and
fall OF the current on making and
breaking, OF the introduction oil
electromagnetic, and OF other condi-
tons. were studied by means OF the
altered mode OF vibration Of the tele-
phone plate. The speaker had further
obtained a graphic record of the vibra-
tons of the telephone plate wher
vowels and cOnsonants are sung and
spoken into IT. Many other problem.
may. by the above method. be brought
nearer TO their solution Science.

HOW THEY SHAVE.

Joseph H. Choate slaves himself.
 Cornelius R. Vanderbilt is shaved at his home.
 Gen. Sherman usually has his beard trimmed ill a barber shop.
 Matt Quay is shaved at noon every day in his Pennsylvania house, and tips his man lib erally.
 Senator Evarts is not easy to shave, because there are so many wrinkles in his face that have to be s1noothed out. How he ever does it himself is a mystery to the barbers.
 William K Vanderbilt slaves himself at times when he is at home, and on other occa- sions he goes to the barber shop He is not very particular, and uses the general cup, brushes and razor.
 During his wife's illness Jay Gould had a barber come to his house once every two weeks to trim his hair and beard He sat in an ordinary straight backed chair while this was being done, and seemed to be wrapped in his thoughts. He always had to be reused when it was over, and frequently stared at the barber in wonder, as though surprised that he should be there.

very differing form of

harmony with every differing form of organized labor.
 It is pleasant then to learn that such men as Mir Powderly, MT Mcclure, MT Arthur, MT Sargent and others equally capable and earnest are agreeing among themselves that the difference existing between the various forces of organized labor are injurious and should be check ed. Their efforts to bring about reform will be watched with interest and they will have in their work the sympathy and encouragement of every man who desires the elevation and prosperity of labor in America.

TAROR,S REST HOLD.

The effort that has been started at Philadelphia to bring into harmony all the various forces of organized labor is a praiseworthy one and worthy of every encouragement. AS was we'll stated in the resolution presented to the confer ence of labor chiefs by Mir McGuire, the interests of all classes of labor are identi- cal and hence all organized labor should work together in harmony. There is neither sense nor profit in this intermi- nable wrangling and pickering between the various organizations whose very object must be frustrated by division.
 In the various conflicts that have oc- cured between capital and labor the former has almost invariably been able to conquer simply because the working
 men have not kept united front. It will alway be so as long as there is dis ruption and division. Not all employers are disposed to take advantage of the weakness of their men to impose upon them or treat them harshly, but it is un- deniable that the major portion have to be kept within the bounds of civility and justice by the power of the working men themselves. When there is no organization, no common under standing between workingmen, no disposition to make the cause of one the concern of all, labor is at the mercy of capital and can get only such rights as the latter may be disposed to concede. Where union and organiza- tion exists it is suspended, like sword of Damocles, above the head of capital, and the disposition to injustice and op- pres.ion is much less aggressive. And then union is an elevating influence on the character of workingmen. It gives them a consciousness of their own power
 feeling that they cannot be trampled under foot or imposed on with lmpunlty, and withal it tends to educate the men by bringing them together for the inter- change of ideas in regard to their own industry or other matters in which there is a common interest. Those trades are in the best condition that have the strongest trade unions, and even un- laborers exact minimum rate of wages under which none will work. Labor will never we think be at it's best in this country, nor able to command the best terms for itself until every man who eats his bread in the sweat of his toll is allied with some form of organization that must in turn be in

THE fact thateleven republicans to one democrat in the Indiana senate voted against ballot reform bill, and that the republican legislature in Maine has re- jected such bill, may be ominoas of the fate of the secret ballot in the Con- necticut legislature. If no form of secret ballot is adopted at Hartford it will be very simple matter to fix the responsibility. It will be on the repub- lican majority.
