mThe Story of Labor

"The Story of Manual Labor in all
Lands and Ages: Its Past Condition,
Present Progress, and Hope for the
Future" by John Cameron Simonds,
issued by the publishing house Of r.
S. Peale & Co., Chicago; illustrated
by the portraits of noted labor advo-
Gates. This is a work of over 700
pages, printed on fine paper and
clear type, and is a complete pen
picture of the wage-workers, from q
social, political and economical
standpoint. Together with an ac-
count of the Unions, Guilds and AS
sociations, organized for his benefit
and protection. In our estimation
few books of equal importance to the
great mass of laborers the world
over have been issued by the Ameri-
can press for many years. 1t is full
of statistical information in relation
to labor in all countries from the
times of the earliest history down to
the present, and is written in a style
at once attractive and interesting
The book should be in the hands Of
all who are interested In the cause Of
labor-and who is there that is not :
In no other work within our knOWl'
edge can so much information on the
subject be obtained as in this "Story

Free Text Books.

Minneapolis Journal: The Mime
sofa Educational association received
the report of the special committee
on free text books, which was favor-
able to such policy, but took no detin-
lite action yesterday on the report.
The statements of those who adj
dressed the association on the subject
seemed largely to favor the change,
which would no doubt be acceptable
to the public. The public school sys-
tenn is q free school system, and to
develop more completely the free
school idea any obstruction i'll the
shape of an individual expense levied
fol- text books should be removed.
The compulsory purchase of text
books is n burden, and an onerous
one for good many families of mod
crate and hard earned means. The
educational tax, state and municipal,
yields abundant resources and there
is really no formidable reason against
the free text book proposition. The
pupil is furnished with seat, desk and
warmth, and instruction. Why
should the parent be taxed from five
to ten dollars or more, n year, fol
text books: The more this subject
is discussed, the stronger will appear
the argument in favor of regarding
| the text book rs much a part of pub
lie school machinery as the building

An Eye to Business.

II have just been up in Vermont"
said a treasury clerk recently. ''The ma
tives have lost none of their cuteness.
The town where I was stopping has
about 1850 inhabitants. One of the Sc
lectmen runs hardware store, and two
weeks ago his dog was bitten by neigh
boris dog. 1t was small enough mat
ter, but see what happened. First he
had the neighbours dog killed; then he
raised the cry that the dog had been
mad and had bitten other dogs. The Sc
lectmen met and ordered that every
dog should be muzzled for forty days,
and the thrifty hardware man has sold
nearly 500 muzzles at 81 apiece. Staid
old family dogs travel around town
with leather thongs around their jaws,
which never closed on anything more
human than beef bone. I saw one big
mastiff that had worked his muzzle off
and was carrying it around in his
mouth. Washington Post.

Good Resolutions.

1t is quite likely that by the end OF
this week nine-tenths of all the good
resolutions made on New Years day will
be broken.
Men usually resolve to quit smoking
or drinking about New Years day.
Women are rather apt to take a vow
that they will get up early or that they
won't talk about their neighbors.
Hardly one of these VOWS is kept by
either sex till the last week in January IL
ended. And because they have broken
them once, men and women are there
fore discouraged, and slip back into the
old way, and think no more about it till
next New Years day.
But the good resolution is not there
fore lost. Even if they honestly tried
to keep it for day, that attempt counts
After they had broken it once, If they
would pick up courage and go on again,
trying to keep it longer next time, they
would find that next time they probably
could keep it longer. Every honest eff
fort strengthens the will, even if it con
tinues no more than ten minutes. The
ones who really gain strength are those
who, though they break their resolution
thousand times, yet adhere steadily t.
the intention to try to keepit. At length
in course of a period longer or shorter
they will be able to keep it altogether.
The best of all the resolutions one cal
make is that he will Try faithfully TO
one year of his life to do exactly as h
would be done by.

The last three publication days of

memorable days, viz: Christmas

teenth anniversary OF Washington
crossing the Delaware river with
$500 picked men, resulting i'll the
capture of 1000 Hessian troops, hired
by England to fight against the
American colonies; on New Years

anniversary of the battle of New

Wrongly Translated.

The story is an old one of the party Of
tired travellers who entered house decor
ated by peculiar sign and demanded
oysters.
''This is not restaurant" said the
courteous gentleman who met them. 81

"Isn't that an oyster hung outside the
doorw asked one.
"No, gentlemen, it is an ear"
A body of sailors from an American
vessel, stopping at Samoa, went to the
German consulate and demanded dinner
"This is not hotel" said the offended
domestic official who met them.
"Well, if it isn't a restaurant, what's
that black fowl hung out for? Amt it 6

consular coat of arms.-Youth's Com

Senator German, one of the Demo-
cratic leaders of the country, declares
against the ballot reform law for
Maryland because the Democratic
voters there "are not sufficiently i'll
telllgent to vote on their own infor-
nation" 1t was meeting Of the
Democratic editors of the State, and
they wore all enjoined to secrecy, but
several of the country editors pub
lished reports, and there is great
CONSERVATION in the party, several
other speakers having endorsed their
leaders statements. The Senator de-
clared the law might be all right in
Massachusetts, where the people are
better educated, but in Southern
Maryland 1t would turn over the
state to the Republicans! The New
York World correspondent thinks the
speech was "the greatest political
blunder In Gorman's career" assault

Cleanliness a Modern Virtue.

The English upper classes are clean,
but cleanliness of any high degree is a
very modern virtue among them. 1t is
an invention of the Nineteenth century.
Men and women born at the close of the
Eighteenth century did as the French
people do today; they took warm bath
occasionally for cleanliness, and they
took shower baths when they were pre-
scribed by the physician for health, and
they bathed in summer seas for pleasure,
but they did not wash themselves all
over every morning. However, the new
custom took deep root in England, be-
cause it became one of the signs of class.
It was adopted as one of the habits of a
gentleman.-Pall Mall Budget.

Of Interest to Farmers.

From the Northwestern Agrieulturalist.
Agents of importers and dealers have
been selling horses to companies made
up of farmers, all over Minnesota and
Dakota at prices running from 81 800 to
So 800. This would not matter so much
if the horses were first class, but most
of them are culls, inferior specimens,
not marketable at private sale at home.
Messrs. Dillon Brothers, the veteran
importers of Percheron horses in Illi-
nois, lately held q public sale of 140
horses of all classes, but mostly Perch
erons. The prices of stations ranged
from $500 to 81 200 each, and Dillon
Brothers, Bloomington, ILL.,, have always
dealt in good ones. Buyers should re-
member that the price of imported stall
lions is not as high as formerly, and
that only the best command 81, 800 to
So 500. So large sum should not be in
| vested without the most careful investi-
cation. If company of farmers want
a stallion, it will pay far better to send
| one of their number, the one best quail
fed to select horse, to the headquarters
of one of the great breeding or import
ing firms, and look over and make Sc
lection from a considerable number.
They will thus be much more likely to
get the worth of their money, and what
is more important, a better horse. The
introduction of an inferior sire in a
neighborhood is a serious matter, and
| the actual loss in dollars foots up into
thousands and thousands in the course
of few years.
-
1t does not pay to buy inferior ami.
mails because they are cheap, and il
does not pay any breeder of purebred
stock to sell inferior or defective ami
MALI. for breeding purposes. If he has
such in his herd he should send them to
tie butcher, and if any one who is max
ing a beginning in breeding purebreed
4 animals has been so unfortunate as to
fall into the hands of Philistine and
been induced to buy inferior animals
he should send them to the butcher and
try again. The wisdom of this course
will be proved in the long run.

We who have travelled and seen the

trade countries, and witnessed the
nakedness and squalor of the wives,

laborers in free trade countries; and
who have seen our own working men
well-clothed, well-fed, and their chill

The proposed reduction on the duty
on sugar, will not be made. There is
no doubt now, either in the minds OF
the committee Oh the ways and
means of the House, or of the COM
mittee on finance, in the senate, that
the present duty on sugar should be
maintained. The industries in Ne
braska and elsewhere, the heavy in.
vestments of money for the purpose
of manufacturing sugar from beets,
plainly indicate to congress that il
would be unwise and unpatriotic to
reduce tariff on sugar, and leave
these investments to fall fiat, just as
they are made. The policy of this
country is, and has been, to promote
the interests OF home enterprises. o.
course, after the experimental stage
in beet sugar making has been passed
we can throw open our doors to com
petition. The gentlemen who are
now expanding their money in this
business in Nebraska, say that they
can supply this entire continent with
sugar raised Ill the Platte River Val
ley. OF course, when they get dowr
to work, and have established theil
trade relations all over the country
they will need no further protection
and the tariff may be reduced. Fol
the present, it will be maintained.
