EVENTS OF THE WEEK.


The journeymen coopers met Friday
evening at the Labor Temple and Or
ganized union. The general objects
of the association are similar to those of
the union among the co-operatives, but
the journeymen prefer a separate union.

the Carpenters National Brotherhood,
was greeted by large audience Thurs
day evening. He gave an interesting
discourse on the eight-hour movement.
"Wednesday evening there was also a
good audience, but Mr.. Kliver was de-
tanned in Chicago. The carpenters are
rapidly organizing, and have fair
prospect of obtaining the eight-hour
day if they choose 50 ask it.
Col. W. Jones, of Oregon, stopped in
Minneapolis yesterday morning. He is
making tour of the United States lee
turing for the Farmers alliance and

rs complaint from which many suffer

is indigestion and sluggish liver, the
cure for which is readily found in the
use of Ayers Pills.

MINNEAPOLIS COMMENT.

It is reported that the laundry pro-
prietors have decided that John China
man must go. The laundrymen have a
national protective association. which
appropriated many thousand dollars to
be used for this purpose. The laundry
proprietorS would like the labor organi-
cations to help them drive out cheap
labor, as represented by the Chinaman.
But the poor w0rkingman isn't sure
that it's any funeral of his so far as
Minneapolis is concerned. When China
men first came to San Francisco they
.overran the cigar factories and laun-
dries. The American Workin gman pro.
tested, but was told that this was free
country, and he must endure free COM
petition, no matter whence the source.
But the Chlnaman is progressive.
After learning the trade he prefers to
start a Laundry or cigar factory himself,
employing only Cinnamon to do the
work. He now comes in competition
with the employer instead of the
laborer, and the working people think
this a free country where employers
must endure free competition, no mat
ter whence the source. At any rate,
they receive 10 more aid in their boy

The reorganization of the Municipal
Reform association is one OF the first
steps toward an active participation in
the next political campaign. The assC-
citation has had special committee for
the past two years keeping record of
the official career of the present admin
istration. The data is III the hands of
the trade and labor assembly. 1t is
quite as interesting as a new novel
about people you know. The Municipal
Reform club is recognizing early so
that it may be in shape to use its WIS
dom and experience to the best possible
advantage. This year the association
proposes to profit by the mistakes of
the last campaign and make the organ
lied element one of the most potent
factors in the issue.
The trade and labor assembly has
done more for the city of Minneapolis
than any other association. not except
ing the board of trade" remarked a
prominent member of the latter body
yesterday.

climate of southern california.

Winter as we understand it east of the
Rockies does not exist. I scarcely know
how to divide the seasons. There are
at most but three. Spring may be said
to begin with December and end in
April; summer, with May Whose days,
however, are often cooler than those of
january and end with September; while
October and November are a mild au-
tumu, when nature takes a partial rest,
and the leaves of the deciduous trees
are gone. But how shall we classify a
climate in which the strawberry (none
yet in my experience equal to the east
ern berry, may be eaten in every month
of the year, and ripe figs may be picked
from July to March?
What shall 1 say of a frost ian affair
of only an hour just before s~unrise)
which is hardly anywhere severe enough
to disturb the delicate heliotrope, and
even in the deepest valleys where it may
chill the orange will respect the bloom
of that fruit on contiguous ground fifty

The golden rule, "Do unto others as
you would have them do unto you" is
violated in a petty fashion in New York
which is intensely irritating. Many peo-
pie when finishing their houses neglect
to put tho numbers IN properly, with
the result that strangers in search of a
particular residence wander up and
down the semi-lighted street cursing
volubly. This absolute neglect of the
law, however, is not as irritating as the
practice of painting the name on the
outer door and emitting it over the inner
door. Until 10 o'clock the greater num-
Der of storm doors stand open.

Eliminates the inner transom, but the
outer one is a dull blank, on which moth

know are figures, finding yourself utterly
unable to distinguish them. and you are
reduced to the ignominious course of
ringing the bell and asking what the
number is, which invariably produces
on the face of the servant who appears
an expression of a conviction not fatter-
ing to your sobriety. Good Christians
there be who put the number on both
transoms-may their homes be exalted

Missing-a literary treasure supposed
to have been once in the possession of her
majesty the queeni The precious relic
referred to is a copy Of the original edi-
ton of "a Chrintmas Carol" presented by
Dickens to the author of Vanity Fair"
with the interesting autograph inscrip-
ton. "W. NJ. Thackeray, from Charles
Dickens (whom he made very happy
once a long way from home)." The
story runs that the queen possessed a
strong desire to own the little volume
in which the names Of these two great
contemporary masters Of fiction were
thus associated; that an unlimited COM
mission was given for It's purchase, and
that it eventually Lecame her majesty's
property for the sum of EOS 10s., and
was Immediately transferred to her keep
ing.
The original authority for the state
ment appear to have been the late Mr..
Hotten, the publisher; but it is more
important to note that Dickens biog-
rapher, Mr.. John Forster, has given it
additional currency. The strange part
of the matter, however, is that the royal
librarian knows nothing about it, except
that no such book is included in the col
lection under his care.-London News.

Among a certain coterie in this city
more O. less speculation was a short
time since going on concerning the rela-
tive ages Of Senator Charles b. Farwell
and his brother John ", the merchant
prince. II was OF no use to consult the
public records, for they differed and
were not reliable. And as John V.
simply shook his head aud smiled in
answer to inquiries on the subject, and
as the senator when in Washington de-
clined to express himself in writing, the
individuals interested were compelled to
let their thirst for knowledge continue
unslakened until the latter should re-
turn. When he did return he was i'll,
but that was no obstacle, and upon gain
ing his presence the committee put the
question to him. The senator looked ut
them for a moment, raised himself ON
his elbow and replied In feeble tones:
II was born first, but John is the
older"
Then he lay down on his pillow, turned
over, and the committee, bursting with
a plethora of information, withdrew

l lately met at a reception a French
gentleman who is well acquainted with
the Dumas family, and he gave me an
amusing account of Mile. Jeannine, now
the Comtesse d'Hauterive. AS a girl she
was always wild and Jolly and head
over heels, possessing much of her ia

end-in a word, thoroughly FIN de

an Anticipated beau and member of the
Jockey club, who still prided himself on
his personal charms and prowess as a
lady killer. This parsonage called one
day upon Nine. Dumas and requested to
see her daughter.
A v was accordingly sent to
summon mademoiselle. Then came a
voice from the staircase announcing in
audible tones: 81 shall not come. When
l want to study antiquities 1 will go to
the Louvre" And the old gentleman
forgave her. At her own we'd

that followed the ceremony her bride

him with a peculiarly pensive expires.

We all know how much greater is the
need of children for sleep than Of grown
persons, and how necessary for their
good it is TO be able fully to satisfy this
need. but how great it is generally at
any particular age Of the child is very
bard to define exactly. The amount
varies under different climatic condi-
tons. In Sweden we consider a sleep of
eleven or twelve hours necessary for the
younger school children and of at least
eight or nine hours for the older ones.
Yet the Investigations have shown that
this requirement lacks much of being
met in all the classes through the whole
school. Boys in the higher classes get
but little more than seven hours in bed,
and as hat is the average it is easy to
perceive that many of them must con
tent themselves with still less sleep.
1t is also evident from the investiga-
tions that the sleeping time is diminished
with the increase of the working hours
from class to class, so that pupils Of the
same g enjoy less according as they
are higher in their classes. It thus APP
pears constantly hat in schools of rela-
lively longer hours of work the sleeping
time of the pupils is correspondingly
shorter. In short, the p~rolongation OF
the working hours takes place for the
most part at the cost of the time for
sleep.-Professor Axel Key in Popular
Scippca
