"Heroic Courtesy

A recent French writer on 1.-THE Rev.
olution, the Empire. and the Restora-
tion," cites an amusing instance of what
he calls heroic courtesy.
Percy, Lord Beverly, invited to dine
with him marquis, one of the most
valiant soldiers of the army of Condo.
Wishing to honor his guest and the
cause which he served, that of the
French king, the English peer ordered
his butler to bring him bottle of fine
wine-1O0 years old-'a ray of sun shut
in crystal"
He opened it carefully, and offered a
glass to the marquis, saying: IF you
deem it worthy the honor, will you
drink in this wine the health of the
king?"
The marquis tasted the wine.
''How do you like it?'' asked the host.
Exquisite replied the marquis.
"Then," said Lord Beverly, finish
the glass; only in a full glass can one
drink the health of so great and so UNI
fortunate king"
The marquis did as he was bldden
without hesitation; only when the En-
glishman tasted the wine did he learn
what he had forced OH his guest was
castor oil; and thenceforth he held the
politeness of the French toward the
English in the highest esteem.

How the Shaddock Gets Its Name.
Boston Advertiser.
1t is only within the last year or two
that fruit OF peculiar appearance has
been seen in the fruit shops and stalls
of Boston. 1t is orauge-shaped, al
though much larger than the largest
specimens of that fruit, aid of the
color of lemon. Internally it is
said to partake somewhat of the nature
of both fruits named, although its flavor
is much more like lemon than an
orange. Placards announce it as grape
fruit although why it should be so
called is a mystery. for it in no wise
resembles grape. A fruit very similar
to this, but much larger. is called the
'shaddock," although the two names
are sometimes used INTERCHANGEABLE.
Specimens of the true shaddock some
times weigh from three to five pounds.
At the South this fruit is raised chiefly
as an ornament to lawns and grounds,
and the great yellow fruit, in some cases
as large as pumpkins, shining through
the dense green foliage, is said to be
strikipgly beautiful. The tree is a ma
tive of China and Japan, and was first
brought to the West Indies by one Capt.
Shaddock, whose name the fruit bears.

The house cleaning epidemic is at its
full height Just now. The spring dis
order has taken possession of every
housewife in. Minneapolis. She now
doffs the mask of mildness and gentle
ness, dons the towel-turban. an old
dress and destructive disposition, and
becomes, because of the vernal malady
which has seized upon her, a veritable
fiend in feminine form. She has turned
the whole city into place flowing with
soapsuds and dirty water, and where
the voice Of the drenched cat is heard
in the land. Riot prevails. The exist
ing order of things is changed for dis
order. Everywhere are signs of gen.
eral upheaval, with which man has
naught to do, and in the working OF
which he is completely crushed out of
existence. Woman reigns in this en-
pire of chaos. gives full reign to the de-
structive propensities of her nature,
while sorrow rains upon the unprotect-
ed head of her lucklesS spouse.
The cause of the annual appearance
of this disease-for it is disease-has
long puzzled the scientists of both the
old and new worlds. 1t is common to
all parts of this country. AS soon as
Old Sol has climbed over the fence thar
separates the North from the South,
the fun, or, rather, the sorrow, begins.
The women enjoy it, but the men do
not. Just as soon as Sol gets across that
stile, carpets begin to rise as if fiends
were at work beneath them; chairs are
broken, furniture is heaved into the
airynesS of out Of doors; valuable paint
ings are ruined, papers which the lord
of the household would not lose for a
good deal of money are ruthlessly swept
into the dustpan. thence into the fire:
the cat is scaIded: the dog is drenched
with cold water; ''hubby's" gold
headed walking stick does service as a
mop handle; hubby himself eats cold
dinner on the back stairs with plate
on his knees, and when he is just about
half through a stream of dirty water
trickles down from somewhere. and
finds resting place beneath his sl4
spring trousers.

How Tel-el.Kebir Looked to On

How Tel-el.Kebir Looked to One
of the Highlanders.
Chatter.
This Is how the battlefield of Tel-el-
Kebir looked to sergeant of the Sew
enty-ninth Highlanders:
The sights of the battlefield were
grewsome, now one looked at them in
cold blood. The artillery had wrought
fearful havoc. [ remember one heap of
twenty-fOur cOrpseS, some blown abs0-
lutely into fragments, others headless,
others with limbs Topped off. Some of
the dead Egyptians were roasting
slowly as they lay; their clothing had
been ignited and was still smoldering.
A man of the Rifles came along, drew
his pipe from his pocket and lighted it
at one of the bodies, remarking, some
what brutally it struck me: "By -,
| never thought l should live to use
a dead Egyptian tor light to my
pipe!"
In the outer trench our dead and
wounded lay more thickly than those of
the enemy, but in the inner trenches
and on the spaces between for one man
OF ours there were certainly ten Egyp-
tians. In the redoubts the black gun
ners lay dead or wounded almost to a
man; for they had been fastened 10 the
guns and to each other by small chains
attached to ankle letters, so as to leave
them free to work the guns, but hinder
ing them from running away.

Workers.
Minneapolis Notes and Events
in the Close Circle of
Artisans.

This week man was appointed in
st. Paul to see that the alien contract
labor law is enforced. 1t is his bust
ness TO prevent foreign workmen being
brought to Minnesota under contract.
?. ]. McCabe, the inspector, appointed
by the treasury department will work
in Minnesota and have his headquarters
in st. Paul This is the first recognition
Minnesota has secured in this direction.
The labor organizations have q record
of several plans for importing labor
under contract in case the eight-hour
movement develops much strength. 1t
is hoped that the appointment of the in
spector will remove the danger, and
Minnesota WOrkingmen may have an
opportunity to adjust conditions without
being menaced by force of imported
contract labor.
Those outside of labor circles pro-
fesSed to be much surprised that there
were neither strikes nor riots in st. Paul
May l. The intention all along, now
ever, has been to secure shorter hours
without any disturbance to business in
terests. Many crafts found as May l
approached that they were not as thor
oughly organized as they should be i'll
order TO have the reduction conceded.
They concluded to perfect their organi-
cation as fast as possible, and make the
demand at the earliest time when such
a policy can be pursued to a successful
issue. The eight-hour agitation will be
carried on with renewed vigOr during
the summer months.
There exists considerable dissatisfac
ton among railroad employees of st.
Paul, especially among those employed
on the Northern Pacific road. The men
are thoroughly organized and have the
influence of the national federation be-
hind them. The grievances are being
thoroughly discussed in railroad circles,
and some of the men desire Immediate
adjustment OF else a strike. The larger
and more conservative portion think the
matter will be amicably settled as soon
as the superintendent thoroughly under
stands the situation. The coming week
is likely to witness definite results one
way or the other.
The Scandinavian assembly has been
largely instrumental in bringing TO a
successful termination the case of Saith
ct VS.. Ness, ueclUeu lew udyS ago Ill
the district court. The man Sather was
member of the assembly, and special
committee have looked after the case
during the many months it has been in
court.
The eight-hour mass meeting an
nounced for Thursday evening did not
occur because the committee was unable
to secure speakers who would risk their
voices by speaking in the open air at
this season of the year. Hundreds of
people came to labor headquarters dur
Ing the day and evening to inquire about
the meeting and we're much disappoint-
ed to find that it would not be held.
There is a rumor, however, of a grand
eight-hour parade to be held some time
this month. 1t is estimated that fully
twice as many as there were last Labor
day would be in line.

This accounts for the lack of unity be-

A SLAV sUPERS Triton,
And How It Brought Woman a
Severe Wetting.

Special to Philadelphia Ledger.
Between fifty and sixty Slav women
were thrown in the Shamokin creek last
evening by the angry miners at Hickory
Ridge. and kept there until thoroughly
exhausted.
The cause of this ungallant conduct
was that the Slavs have peculiar Gus
tom, amounting to religious duty, of
throwing water on people for days after
Easter. They think it bad luck for the
throwers to fall in and attempt to cover
the victims with water. and that, if sue
cessful, both will be blessed. They
made the men mad by continually
throwing buckets of water on them, and
last night they took a large revenge.
The Slavs are enraged over the affair
and threaten vengeance.

ITEMS OF INTEREST.

The trade and labor assembly held It's
regular meeting Friday evening. j. P.
McGaughey, president, resigned as his
business obliges him to he absent from
the city much OF the time. NJ. T..
Leonard. secretary, also resigned. At
the next meeting, officers will be elected
to fill vacancies. The committee ap-
pointed to confer with the nationalist
and single tax committees in regard to
street lighting, asked for further time,
and stated that conference will be
held next Tuesday evening, andan in
teresting report he ready for the next
meeting of the assembly.
The report of the condition of trade
was: Painters, flourishing; plumbers,
on strike; stonecutterS, brisk; cigar:
makers. union men all at work, and
strike still on at Lauer and Chambers
shops; carpenters, good; transfers,
ylenty of work. The North Star Labor
club stated that leading shoe firm on
Nicollet avenue is handling boycotted
shoes from Utica, N. Y. The assembly
will look the matter up.
A committee from the plumbers ex-
planned the progress of the present
strike. The assembly passed the fol-
lowing resolution:
Resolved. That the Trade and Labor
assembly fully Endorses the stand taken
by the journeymen plumbers in asking
a reduction of hours, and will aid them
in every possible way to make the
movement a success.
A delegate stated that the street la

had struck for an increase of pay and
obtained it after being out only three
hours. The committee on resolutions
drew up the following resolution,
which was unanimously adopted:
Whereas, Even the unOrganiZed en-
pIoyes of the street railway company
nave succeeded in advancing their
wages from $1.25 to $3.50; therefore,

Resolved, That we view this action as
a sign that the street railway company
is beginning to treat It's employees i'll
more reasonable and just manner than
heretofore, and we hope to see all en-
ployeS obtain recognition of rights i'll
due time from that corporation.
A resolution was adopted in regard to
the present controversy on the servant
girl question. The general opinion
seemed to be that the average servant
girl is capable of looking after her own
rights, and possibly that accounts for
the pathetic tales written by house
keepers.
