Tho Iron Law.

The chair car porters ON the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad have
been reduced from $3.50 to 81 per day.
The managers of the road hold that tho
porters receive large sums in the way Of
tips and can consequently work for low
wages. Here is another added to the IL
limitable evidences that wages are not
regulated by the value of the service
given the employer or the product Gre
ated. Where combinations OF labor do
not force employers to give the full value
of service rendered the rate of wages is
regulated by what is required for the
worker to live and work. This Is what
La Sale calls 1.-THE Iron Law of Wages

Names,


There is certain amount of satisfac-
ton perhaps in giving whimsical
name to pet animal, but such names
often require SO much explanation that
they become burden. A Boston lady
lately related this little story of her cat:
''We had a kitten who had marvel
. GUS talent for escaping from all kinds of
perils. He was shut up in an oven by a
needless servant and left there over
night, but although it seemed that he
must be baked to crisp, he came out in
the morning none the worse for the fiery
ordeal.
ssHe was run over by railroad train,
but crouched close to the ground and es-
capped injury. He received charge of
bird shot one day while he was himself
hunting birds in the woods, but we
picked out as many of the shot as we
could, and he began at once to recover
and soon was all right again.
Finally he was put into bag with
stone and thrown into river, but he
managed to find small hole in one cor
ner of the bag, and enlarged it so that
he was able to get out. Then he swan
ashore and came home.
''In view of these marvellous escapes
we decided to keep the cat, and gave
him the name of Plutarch, because he
had so many lives"
The name was happy one, and yet,
as the story of Plutarch's adventures had
to be told each timc his name was men
toned to new acquaintance, his owners
wished at last that they had named him
plain Tom or Dick.
Similar explanations were necessary
on the part Of the man who named his
two canaries Wheeler and Wilson, ssbe-
cause neither was a Singer. Youths
Companion.

GREAT GRANITE GORGE.

A Vivid Picture of the Scenery Along
the Banks of the Colorado.
The great Granite Gorgeis about forty
miles in length That portion from its
head to the Bright Angel creek, some
fifteen miles, is narrow, dark and
gloomy. 1t stands at the upper gate
way of the great canyon as if by its very
frown to keep back the intruder, and
guard from vulgar eyes and sordid greed
the grandeur, the beauty and hidden
treasure of the lower canyon. At the
Bright Angel creek everything changes
tho granite slopes are fatter, they are
of softer black granite, cut into sharp
pinnacles and crags, and seem more as
if formed of very coarsely stratified
slate.
The canyon grows more and more pict-
uresque and beautiful the farther we
proceed. Tho granite has lost its awful
and threatening look, and slopes back
in beautiful hillsides of variegated black,
grayand green.
At the side canyons, and from the
bends of the river, the upper portions of
the whole gorge are brought into view,
showing the great marble and sandstone
cliffs, benched back far away from the
river, while mountains jut in close be-
tween the side canyons and washes nearly
a mile and a quarter in height. AS we
look down the river, or up low side
canyon, with the placid water between
its polished walls of black and gray
and green for q foreground, there rise
above the dark sandstone, tier upon tier,
bench upon bench, terrace upon terrace,
stepping back farther and farther, and
higher and higher, and in immensity of
height and proportion seeming to tower
almost over our heads. First above the
dark sandstone come the flattened slopes
of the lime and mineralized matter, in
horizontal layers of yellow, brown,
white, red and green.
Then rise sheer walls of stained mar
BILE 1000 feet or more, the lower por-
tions yellow, brown and red, the color
ing of red growing brighter as it nears
the top. Above this smaller benches of
marble, at the top Of each little mesa
covered with green bunch grass and
bushes, and above these dozen or more
terraces of scarlet and fame colored
sandstone, stained on their outer points
with black, and sthe little benches be-
tween them relieved by the bright green
of the grease wood and bunch grass, the
whole crowned with perhaps couple of
thousand feet of the lighter gray, yell
low and white sandstone ledges, capped
by pinnacles and spires, turrets and
domes, in every imaginable shape, size
and proportion. B. Stanton in Scrib-
ners.

COOPERATIVE HOUSEKEEPING.
The Scheme Which win BE Carried Ou
in West Philadelphaa.

The Scheme Which VIII BE Carried Oue
in West Philadclphia.
The wave of cooperative enterprise is
sweeping over west Philadelphia now,
and soon housekeeping may be conduct
ed on the mutual plan. A circular was
prepared by DIR. John Taylor which IS
being handed around among the residents
of that neighborhood for signatures. and
as soon as sufficiently large number or
names are attached the central cooking
house will be established, and servants
in private dwellings will be dismissed.
The following is a copy of the circular
which is being distributed:
1--WE, the undersigned, having formed
a favorable opinion Of the plan Of Coz
operative housekeeping, hereby express
our willingness to help form an associa-
ton for that purpose when as many as
ten families or thirty persons viii agree
to join it. We also agree to attend ali
the meetings necessary to effect an or
ganization of the society"
A number of names have already been
subscribed, and the promoters Of the un-
dertaking are very sanguine Of securing
the signatures of a large proportion oe
the neighboring population. Meetings
are held weekly at the residence of Dr..
Taylor, and a permanent organization
has been effected.
The association is in communication
with similar concerns in western cities.
but the Philadelphia system viii differ
somewhat from all others now existing.
The idea is not SO much to secure cheap
er living as to do away with individual
household work. At first the cook in
charge of the central culinary establish
ment will purchase all provisions neces-
sary, hire the needful help and collect
from each family its proportion Of the
expenses. The families will be charged
according to the number of pexsuns each
contains, special prices being .A<..a for
babies and very small children. After
the lapse of few weeks the association
will settle upon regular weekly rate.
Purchasing fuel and provisions in
wholesale quantities, the associatio nwill
buy at a much lower rate than that
charged individuals. Families can
either take their meals at private tables
curtained in booths in the main dining
room of the central supply house or
have them served in their own dwell
ings. The former place is the one usual
ly selected, and can be carried on some
what cheaper than the other.
Speaking of the association and its
future, DIR. Taylor said last night: IF
the plan works, as we have no doubt it
will, besides having a central cooking
house, there will be established laun-
dry, electric light plant and house heat
ing apparatus. A good system Is to have
one central supply house for each square.
The dwellings, are built as usual, with
the exception Of the dining rooms.
They are built away from the main
structure and along q covered aisle lead
ing from the central house to the middle
of the four sides Of the square. The
dining rooms are one story structures.
and they are connected with the main
dwelling by little archways. Thus each
family eats in its own dining room. but
is served from the common supply house.

A New Explosive Carboni.e.

The new explosive ''carbonite" is CIV
ing satisfaction to coal miners. At a
meeting of the South Wales Institute OF
Engineers Mr.. w. Stewart stated that
within his experience ton of the mate
rial had been used without sign OF
flame or sparkling. 1t is stable COM
pound and can be stored without dete,
Fioration for any length Of time, 1t is
rendered comparatively safe by the fact
that q detenator is required to explode
it, If struck with hammer or stone nc
danger need be apprehended. Carbonite
is lighter than dynamite, Is of brown
ish color, and contains 25 per cent. of
nitro-glycerine. Certain sulphureted
hydrocarbons are added to moderate
the susceptibility of the nitro-glycerine.

Baking by Electricity.

Bakers are now using the electric
motor as bread mixer, and are thus en-
abled to do in four or five minutes an
amount of work that would otherwise
require hours of hand labor. A writer

ly obtained much relief from facial neu-
ralgia by applying an incandescent light

TWO JOURNEYS.

TWO JOURNEYS.
We bade sad farewell to her
Who started out one dsy,
A sad faced little sufferer,
But seeming glad and gay.
She left our rugged seq lands here,
Where baneful breezes blow,
And sought new health, new life, new cheer,
Where summers flowers grow.
A smile around her pale face played,
A light beamed in her eyes;
She seemed a heaven born angel, strayed
A while from out the skies.
We bade her God speed and farewell,
With trembling lip, and eye
O'erhowed with tears All, who could tell
Twas not our last good-bys
And now our darling has come home,
With us II while to bide,
And then once moro prepare to roam
To shores afar, untried.
Andnow we speak In tones subdued,
And unchecked tears fast flow:
And forms in prayerful attitude
Arc bent in sorrow low.
Once moro her burdens she will take,
And so where angels lead;
A long. long journey she win maFe--
And now, once more, God speed

Weather and Science Notes.

BY PROFESSOR w. T. FOSTER.
The newspapers say that Edison is
building a great audiphone by which. he
expects TO be able TO hear the SOUNDS
caused by the falling of the tremendous
meteoric bodies into the sun. The re-
porte go on TO say that scientists believe
that the spots on the sun are caused by
these falling bodies, W hich 70 to feed the
flames and furnish the heat of the sun.
Sur, ly Edison does not believe such stuff
as this. II sounds too much like feeding
heather idols and rattling of savage
drums 10 scare off the eclipses. WHY
should the sun differ from the earth ex-
cept in size and electric force? We see
that Saturn and Jupiter are miniature
suns giving light and perhaps heat to
their satellites, and no one suspects that
they are intensely hot. Saturn has as
many satellites as does our sun and they
are evidently growing into a solar sys-
tenn. Our earth is growing into a sun
and will sometime catch up another
comet ana then We will have two moons.
The aurora, or Northern lights, are sim
liar to sunlight aud prove that our earth
is becoming self lum nous. As these
bodies grow larger they acquire more
electrical FORCE, when makes them shine
of their own light and causes them TO re-
cede from the sun aud from each other.
The spots on the sun are storms.
just like our storms. They move in the
same direction aud about the same dis
lance from ths suns equator that our
storms do from the earth's equator.
The faculae or bright spots are the low
barometers or cloud formations and the
dark spots are the high barometers COR
ny to our clear weather, ena-
bling US TO see the body of the sun.
Mountains i'll the sun constitute the sta
lionary dark spots. The sun storms are
caused by the same influences that cause
earth storms AMI occur at the same time
aud for that reason the sun spots are
believed by some TO be the cause of
Earth storms. 1t can be clearly demon
itruted that the position of the planets
causes the sun spots, Jupiter having the
greatest influence in that respect.

The Flnur Output.

The Northwestern N Her says: There
was not very much change in the -four
output last week. The aggregate pro-
duction was l57 $50 barrels, averaging
20 ,3l3 barrels daily, Against Isl 400 bar
rels the week before and ia $40 barrels
for the corresponding time in 1889, and
l66, $50 barrels in 1888. Four more mills
are running than were in operation q
week ago, nineteen being in motion
Wednesday. They were probably max ing
over 81, 900 barrels per twenty four
hours, and the output promises to be the
heaviest of the season. Until navigation
closes, this heavy work is likely to be
kept up. as the millers desire to get out
all the flour they can before freight rates
advance. For three or four days past
flour has been rather more quiet than q
week ago, and prices are a triis easier
on patents.
There is a less free movement in do
nestle trade, and with ocean rates very
low, considerable attention is being given
to export business. Foreigners manifest
q growing desire for spring wheat -four,
and this demand for bakers is especially
active. Bids for bakers for London
range from 2ls 81 to 26s Cd, and quite

such figures. or were they not precluded
from doing so by being already oversold.

CURED at 27s, but such transactions are
not common.
The call for patents for export is also
little better, aud at 3ls 6d@32s, London
