WHAT NATIONALIsrs DEMAND.

In his recent address in Boston on
nationaIism Edward Bellamy laid
down some principles of the party he
represents and was quite explicit in
his declarations. Here is one of the
tenetS -
We demand that the cOal-mining
business, which is at present most
rapaciously conducted as respects
the public, and most oppressively as
regards a great body of laborers,
should be natiOnalized, to the end
that the mines may be continuously
worked to their full capacity, coal
furnished consumers at cost, and the
miners humanely dealt with.
1t is well for the authors of any
new theory, system or belief to be
exact in their statements, and Mr.
Bellamy is certainly not wanting In
this regard. 1t is not the object of
this paragraph to attempt to show
the strength or the fallacy of the
ground taken. The thought that
the government can or should con-
troll the coal-mining business may or
may not be moonshine; still the fact
remains that the men and boys who
mine the coal are treated little if any
better than were the slaves of the
South before emancipation. The
avarice of the coal-barons shows no
pity and the poor and ignorant for
eigners, unacquainted with our Ian
guage, who delve in the dark, are
treated like cattle or worse Per-
haps the government cannot touch
this matter, but public sentiment
can, and the way to improve public
sentiment is to agitate. No reform
ever came of itself, and all can wish
Mr. Bellamy success in any thing
that will ameliorate the condition of
humanity.

In the matter of the fatal accident
to S. w. Dow on the Passumpsic rail
road at Newport, the board of rail
road commissioners find it is evident
that this accident was indirectly the
result of making flying switch, but
it was directly due to Mr. BOWS own
carelessness in leaving his post and
attempting to go back upon the car
following, without directions and
contrary to custom and good judg-
ment, and, accordingly, the board
finds that the railroad company was
not at fault for this accident
Death of Engineer Pierce.
The death of Charles H. Pierce at

chain by Henry w. Tewksbury to
Mr.. Pierce, who was engineer on
that ill fated train, and also a SINH

fireman that night, lin recognition
of heroic action in rescuing the giver

Tho Indian Of To-Day.

Writes Western correspondent:
There are no longer any Logans, Black
hawks, Tecumsehs, Pontiacs or Osceolas,
and in their places we have only the
greasy prowler of the plains. the semi
barbarian, the mendicant. The Indian
of the present day is lazy and Preacher
Gus, and is not even picturesque in ap-
pearance. He is not tall and we'll pro:
portioned, as we once fancied him, and
as for being straight and commanding,
his legs resemble pair of ice tongs,
his back is bumped, and his eyes have
lost their aboriginal fire. He is no
longer creature of kingly form, and
there is absolutely nothing about him
to excite interest OF sympathy. Who
can weep for "Chawer-of- thunder ?"
what poetic inspiration can be worked
over ''Split- Chunk?" What sentiment
is to be aroused by "Bone- Founder"
and mashed Hoof?" ''Rain-in-the-
Face" has providential sound, but
''Dirty- Back" chills the romance in
ones nature, and when we read about
"Old-Man-Ain't- What He Used to- Be"
the conclusion is compelled that Indians
and Indian nomenclature are not what
they used to be either.

Did MOI Nee,l tn, ca. rIoket,

A benevolent lady, residing within
sound of St Aloysius' bells. was pass
ing through judiciary square dast week
when her attention was attracted to Q
wan-looking man sitting on one of the
benches. The vagrant winds blew
through his scanty hair, and, Ike Gas
sius, he was apparently weary of the
world. The lady's kindly heart went
out to the lonely man and she spoke TO
him.
"sir, you look tired. Allow me at
least to give you car fare home, ex-
tending nickel to him.
The old man looked quizzically a.
his benefactor, then smiled and quietly
said:
Il am very much obliged for your
kindness, madam, but I really wont
need it. I am only waiting here tor
my carriage"
And just then an elegent coupe drove
up and the object Of her charity en-
tered it and drove away Washi'agt ton

strassburr,. Wonderful Clock.

Far through all the civilized world
stretches the fame of Strassburg's
wonderful clock. This clock, which is
the second one of its kind put up in
Strassburg, was built in 1912, the first
one, built in 1873, having fallen into
decay. 1t stands in the south transept
of Strassburg Cathedral, and is fifty
feet in height by thirty in width. 1t
contains some of the mechanism of the
old clock, but is not an exact COPY
of it.
Tourists crowd the transept, in or
der to see the automaton procession,
at the hour of noon. As the clock
strikes twelve the cock flaps his wings
and, with apparent effort, gives fee
BILE, hoarse it must be confessed),
ridiculous crow. Then the procession
begins. The apostles are waiting at
the door to the left of the upper plat
form, one by one they cross the stage,
pause before the figure of Christ, bow
in o jerky fashion, receive the blessing
of the uplifted hand, and pass out at
the other side of the platform. The
second effort of the cock takes place
ere the procession is half over, the
third when the last apostle has disap-
peared from view. The central fig
ure on the lower platform holds the
bells in balance. Automatic figures
appear every fifteen minutes, and
cross the stage to strike the hour. A
youth is seen at the quarter, a man
at the half-hour, while the figure of
time with his scythe strikes the full
hour.
The clock also tells the times and
seasons of ecclesiastical events, SO
far as they are associated with astro-
nomical phenomena, the phases of the
moon, and the equation of time. There
is also a celestial circle, or orrery, that
shows the motions of the heavenly
bodies.

found in some of his most exciting ser
mons that he had inclosed in brackets
the words, "Cry here"

LIZ the walters are in earnest in deter
mination not to have their employers
count in tips as part of their wages,
they can easily arrange the whole mat
ter by making it rule of their associ-
alton that no member shall receive a
fee. OF course when this is once
understood the men are put upon per-
fectly definite and satisfactory footing
with their employers, and the public
will not be likely to he incensed at the
move. 1t might be considered, more.
over, that the walters, by refusing to
receive gratuities, put themselves upon
aself-respecting plane, and consequent
ly one respected by others. 1t is idle
for the walters to hope to be treated
like independent artisans while they
extend catch-penny hand to the tip
giver. Manifestly their only course is
either to give up tips and be contented
with fixed and adequate wage, or keep
on as they are. They are likely, how
ever, to fail in an attempt to get both.

Sad. Solemn Men.

The gentlemen who provide hui
mainly with its last lodging require no
cards to designate their calling or to
indicate what they are ready to under
take for their defunct fellow-beines.
1t is written on their faces, in their
department., on their habiliments-all
over them. They are their own cards,
as writer expresses it. If one were
to meet an undertaken under the
shadow Of the pyramids or at Spitz-
bergen there could be no difficulty in
recognizing him as member of the
funeral profession.
Undertakers, as rule, are moral,
estimable men, but they certainly do
differ in aspect and manners from the
mass of mankind. There is an indie
scribable air about them, which, for
lack of q better word, we must call
posthumous. Constant intercourse
with the bereaved makes their voices
mournful; for your undertaken ever
assimilates his tones to those of hi,
afflicted customers, and he thereby &C
quires habit Of talking as if he had
lost all his friends. In like manner
the "'havior of his visage" becomes
woe-begone past all remedy. His
very smiles are only deadly lively.
Then there is severe plainness about
the cut of his black suit which, to say
nothing of its melancholy hue, is re
buke to worldly vanity and a solemn
hint that fashion and frivolity are of
small account when his duties are to BE-
performed. Nevertheless. the craft j.
a highly respectable or and we have
not word to say again i, it.

Agriculture in Ancient China,

In HOO B. G. the Prime Minister of
the Emperor Wou-Weng, Tcheou-
hung. constructed norias, or hydraulic
machines of simple design and work
ina, by which water was raised to a
height to which it had never been car
ried before, and made reservoirs and
canals for irrigation. Water was con-
Quoted by means OF machinery from
the wells to the dry hilltops, and water
provision was assured for times of
drouth. Agriculture, in consequence,
fourished.
Other measures of Icheou- Kung
comprised the PRONUNCIATION of laws
respecting the boundaries of properties
and the prevention of trespasses. Tie
fields were divided into squares called
wells, from their resemblance to the
Chinese character signifying we'll,
surrounded and furrowed by bitches so
arranged that eight farmers, each till
ing his own tract, united in cultivatiLg
the ninth, interior tract, which be-
longed to the state, and the produce of
which paid their rent.
The system succeeded to marvel.
Each tenant was proprietor of about
fifteen acres, the whole product Of
which belonged to him, while the state
was really proprietor of the whole,
and had, as a landlord, the income of
the ninth tract Besides this, each
farmer had some $3.50 square meters OF
| ground for his farmyard and his null
berry trees.
Thus he always enjoyed surplus OF
! provisions, of pork and poultry for
food, and silk for clothing. No one at
this time was richer or poorer than
another, but a complete social equality
existed, and every one, they say, was
satisfied. Gen. I'cheng XII Tong, IL,
