This Would Prevent Railroad Strikes.

Charles Francis Adams, in April Scribner.
Each of the several divisions of the op-
Grating department. of q railroad should
have on it's rolls two classes of men: first,
those who have been admitted into the per
manent service of the company; and Sec
ond, those who for any cause are only tenn
porarily in that service. And no man should
be admitted into the permanent service
until after he has served an apprenticeship
in the temporary service. In other words,
admission into the permanent service
would be in the nature of q promotion from
an apprenticeship i'll the temporary service.
The permanent service of a great railroad
company should, III many essential respects,
be very much like a national. service, that
of the army or navy, for instance, except in
ticular, tO-wit: Those in it must or neces-
sity always be at liberty to resign from it
in other words, to leave it. He
who had passed through his period of pro-
baton, and whose name was enrolled
in the permanent service, would natur-
ally feel that his interests were to
a large extent identified with those
of the company and that he
on the other hand had rights and privi-
leges which the company was bound to re.
spect: Beyond this, he should
feel that, though he may not rise to a high
position. vet as a matter of right he is
has risen just so long as he demeans him
self properly and does his duty we'll. He
should be free from fear of arbitrary dis
missal. In order that he may have this Sc
curity. a tribunal should be devised be-
fore which he would lave the right to be
heard in case charges of misdemeanor are
advanced against him.

no nutriment from the parent before birth.

of the parent; but the young are sucked,

1t may be pleasant to those who live in a
region of country where nothing but hard
water is to be had to be informed by so good
authority as Dr.. Tidy, the w~eIl-known
chemist, of the result of his observations
on the use of hard water for culinary and
domestic purposes. He has this to say:
L. Hard water is the best dieteticalIy, be-
cause of the lime.
2. 1t makes better tea, although not so
dark colored. owing to the fact that soft
water dissolves the bitter extractivc mat
tiers which color the tea, but ruins the
aroma.
3. 1t quenches thirst, which soft water
does not.
4. 1t does not dissolve lead or organicmat-
ter, which soft water does.
5. 1t is generally good colored, soft water
being as a rule dark cOlofed and unpleas-
ant looking; hence, in places like Manches-
ter, supplied with soft water, they always
put it lin hotels) in dark bottles to hide the
color. A soft water, however, is a better
detergent, and requires less soap. For a
residential town IA water which has over
ten degrees of hardness would be best. For
manufacturing towns a soft water would
be the most advisable for commercial con-
siderationS only.

CHICAGO, April 6.-The wheat market was
quiet, and, while the feeling was unsettled and a
little nervous, there was generally less DISPOSE
ton to trade. and business was light. While
many operators incline to the belief that the
large traders are out Of the May deal, there, ncv-
ertheless, are some who believe that the effort to
force out the holder alluded to for several days
past was lone for some purpose. 1t was claimed
that more "long" May wheat came on the mar
ket; that shorts covered, and that the market
was evening up. Prices for May de-
clined &c, recovered 14c, and closed
10 lower than yesterday. July advanced

and closed hc lower. Corn ruled rather quiet
the entire session. Fluctuations were confined
within Led 4c range, and they did not vary much
stronger and higher. May was the favorite, and
advanced lac early ON good buying by several
large traders-chfehy to cover 'tshorts." Offer
1ngs were liberal on the advance, and after the
urgent buyers had been filed up an easier
feeling prevailed, and the advance was
lost. Later in the session quietness pre-
vailed, the closing. sales being at
q shade below those of yesterday.

OF l7iad2oc was submitted 10. Toward the
close prices improved slightly, but trading was
small. The leading futures ranged as follows:
