1t is fact that cannot be disputed,
that as rule the Minneapolis house is
furnished, among other things, with
piano. Promenaders on quiet, warm
evening are made aware of the fact
from the various ivory matches that are
going on in each block. all the airs
being pitched in different key. and
with every variety of movement. OF
course many of these instruments are
owned by the families in which they are
operated, but more often they are
leased by the month. 1t is the leased
piano that gets the hardest usage, as
rule, for the simple reason that the
lessee is bound to do his or her best to
get full value received for each months
rental.
The various stages of the piano ques.
ton neceSsitate frequent moving of the
instruments. Sometimes the infant
prodigy Of the family fills the works full
of carpet tacks, or the young LADY ma
nipulatOr SmaSheS out sounding board
or snaps a string IN an eXuberance OF
animal spirit, and the instrument has
to be exchanged. Often the rental is
not forthcoming at the proper time, and
the badge to reSpecta bility has to be
taken to scenes and pastures new for
some other peripatetic young lady to
claw upon and some other young man
to exercise his lungs over.
Piano moving is more Of a science
than many people think, and there are
a vast number of men engaged in the
work in Minneapolis. Of course, all eX-
preSsmen will contract to move one Of
the colossal instruments, but as rule
they hold personal grudge against
them, which they seek to take out in
various ways. This man will accept
your proffer of job at piano moving
with a sweet smile, which cloaks the
diabolical feelings of his heart, and he
will spring into his vehicle with an
alacrity that sets you at once at your
ease as to his ability to handle an up
right or grand in the most familiar
manner. He usually has a small boy
with him, whom he orders about as if he
were regiment. Arrived at your homo
he will borrow the services of the neigh
boris fat cook and coachman, press three
or four street laborers into the service,
and proceed to do battle in a way
that soon collects a gaping crowd

Some enterprising individuals are
selling tickets for an excursion to Min

spices of the trade and labor assembly.
The assembly did not authorize such
action, and will prosecute the people
selling the tickets if evidence can be OBJ
tanned to convict them.
The delegate from the tailors' union
to the trade and labor assembly states
that Cakes, Sandell and Schusler have
not yet signed the union scale of prices,
and for that reason do not receive pat
ronage from organized people. The
journeymen who left these shops have
found employment, but have not de-
clared the strike off.
Some of the stores which keep open
evenings depend largely on out-of-town
trade. The clerks union will notify
unions throughout the state of the
names of such firms. and advise the
same course that is pursued by the
unions in st. Paul.

in the various unions, and meets with
approval. 1t is suggested that, among
other matters, the federation arrange
for grand demonstration be held on
Labor day in Minneapolis.
The Single Tax club is following just
the course predicted for it several
months ago. A Democratic club is to
be formed of single tax advocates and
ingenious workingmen. In the circular
sent out no explanation is given of how
the single-tax theories in the abstract
can be made to square with the practi-
cal methods pursued by any political
party. Unless the proposed club gets
its membership from other sources than
the present single tax club. it will have
to be conspicuously labeled in order
that the public may know of Its exist
ence.

has been extended to all plasterers in
the city and large attendance is eX-

to be held during the summer.
The BARRIERS union will hold an open

advantages of organization will be held.
Several good speakers have been Sc

labor headquarters. A special commit

matter, find that several stores on Sew

their agreement and keep their stores
open evenings. Such cases are reported
to all organizations and are likely to
lose patronage thereby. The clerks are
talking of having a picnic instead of
their next open meeting.

ITEMS OF INTEREST.

The trade and labor assembly holds its
regular meeting Friday evening, June
90. The different standing committees
have several interesting matters upon
which a report will be presented. Sew
eral new organizations are being organ
lied and will probably send delegates.
The next convention of the State
Eight-Hour league will be held at Labor
Temple Sunday, July IS, and will prob
ably arrange for an active eight-hour
agitation similar to that carried on last
summer.
Labor Assembly No. 805 meets Thurs
day evening at Labor Temple, and will
have an interesting order of exercises.
This assembly is now one of the strong
the most progressive assembly In the
city.
Alex j. Mullen, the delegate from
Typographical Union No. AZ, Minneap-
oils. was elected delegate to the
Ammerican Federation of Labor by the
international union in session at At
lanta, Ga.
The recent open meeting held by the
carpenters union in North Minneapolis
was success, and added many mem
berS to the union. Similar meetings
will probably be held at an early date in
different parts of the city, to more
readily accommodate those living at
some distance from the Labor Temple.
The platform of political principles
submitted at the last meeting of the
trades and labor assembly is being
distributed among the unions and dis
cussed. No official report will be made
for several weeks. and from criticisms
made it seems likely that the various
sections will be considerably modified.
But the interest taken in such discus
sion strengthens the idea that the or
ganized workingmen are preparing to
assert themselves in the coming cam
paign. They have a carefully COM
piled history of people and events for
the past two years or more, and this is
likely to somewhat shape the policy.

Evil Effects of Catarrh.

1t has been the rule to consider nasal
eatarrh almost entirely a local disease,
and one which has very little effect upon
the general system. All this is being
rapidly disproved, and it is being shown
that if the nose is in an unhealthy state
there is quite a long list of affections
which may be induced in consequence.
Hay fever has often been cured by APP
plications to certain points in the nasal
passages. Asthma, also, has yielded to
the same treatment. 1t is a well known
fact that when the victim of catarrh
suffers from dyspepsia scarcely any i'm
provement in the latter al be made, no
matter what is done for it, until the
former is on the gain.
Evidence is not wanting to show that
severe functional disturbances Of the
lungs, and even of the heart, are some
times induced by nasal trouble. Re-
Gently there was reported the case of a
woman who had had epilepsy for several
years, and although she had patiently
sought relief no improvement took place
until applications Were made to her nose
and its condition improved. Under that
line of treatment entire recovery &C.
CURED. Very many other cases are ON
record which show that the relation be-
tween the nose and other parts of the
system is very intimate, the connection
being of course through the nerve sys-
tem.-Hall's Journal of Health.

There is "a Z months o cu1 -

cat. The cub is very much attached tc
pussy. They play and frolic together
every morning, and before any visitors
come they are let out for a romp in the
grounds. Pussy bounds off for the
woods, the cub following at breakneck
speed. Pussy runs upa tree after a bird,
and that ~dumfounds the cub. He takes
it philosophically, however, and lies
down at the foot of the tree watching
her. When the keeper goes to get them
he pounds the tree with a club and

An important improvement has been
made in the covering of pulleys, by
which it is claimed so per cent. more
power can be transmitted, and all slip
ping is reduced to an inperceptible fac
tor. This system comprises the follow
ing points 1t consists in the employ
ment of a specially prepared leather
covering for the pulley which is ex-
tremely soft and elastic and never glazes
by the rubbing action of the belt, as is
the case when ordinary leather is en-
ployed for this purpose.
1t is applied to the pulley and held
firmly to it for all time by means of &
special cement, which is soft and never
hardens, like ordinary cement or glue.
No rivets of any kind are employed, but
the leather covering is firmly attached
to the iron of the pulley by the cement
alone. Once attached the covering will
stand for years and never loosen or come
off except when naturally worn out, the
length of time varying with the circum-
stances and work done. This system
will be invaluable to those engaged in
the transmission of power by means OF
belts in the operation of machinery of all
kinds.-New York Commercial Adver-
tiser.
