POLITICS..

There is not farmer or labor
organization that does not i'll
its declaration OF princlpi lies
demond certain reforms which
can only be obtained by legisla-
ton, yet in these organizations
there are men who hold up
their hands in holy horror
whenever the word "politics'
is mentioned, and who have
generally succeeded i'll prevent
ing unified political actions on
the part of these organizations
in favor Of needed reforms by
raising the cry of "politics"
whenever this matter was
preached. Nothing could be
more deplorable than forming
the organizations into political
clubs labeled either Demo
cratic Or "Republican," but
nothing is more silly than the
spectacle Of demanding certain
legislation, and then going out
of their meeting halls to the
polls and voting not according
to the interest of the organiza-
ton Of which they are members,
but according to prejudice that
| they may have Inherited from
their fathers. They should use
the magnificent privilege of the
ballot to reward friends and
punish enemies regardless OF
party. If the politians once
got that in their heads there
would be no need of q labor
party, because then all parties
would be labor parties.-Day

A New Use for Conl GINS.

A leading English technical journal
points out that now that the electric
light is so rapidly supplanting gas in,
ventors are eagerly searching for new
fields of usefulness for the older illumi
mating medium. AS heating agent il
is almost perfect, and the by-products
have been utilized to an astonishing ex-
tent. 1t is strange that inventors have
overlooked the utility of the asphyxiat.
ing properties of the monoxide of carbon
contained in coal gas. Workmen in
gas works are frequently poisoned by
fumes which render them insensible
and have to be brought to by the liberal
exhibition of alcohol. 1t is suggested
that this Notwithstanding the alec.
hol-might lead to solution of the
problem of the humane execution Of
criminals.

jewels of the Astors.

The Aston family possess some Won
derful jewels, particularly diamonds.
The late Mrs. John Jacob Astor used to
wear tiara that few of the crowned
heads of Europe could match. Mrs
William Astor wears beautiful iiviere
Of diamonds, three rows graduated. She
also possesses a famous diamond neck.
lace of six strings, set in such manner
that no gold is visible, and having the
appearance Of being strung together.
Mr.. Astor is constantly having it altered,
and increasing its brilliancy and value
by the addition Of larger diamonds in
the place of small ones. There are some
fine emeralds in the family, but no lnem-
Der seems to care much about display,
and except on rare occasions, these Jew
els are not worn.
One Of Inspector Eyrnes' detectives,
who stood in full evening dress in a

Musical Gamma.

The musical taste of the New York
street boy is omnivorous. 1t furnishes
also quite substantial prop to favor
lite theory of mine that it is not so much
the masses as the classes that need to be
educated up to decent standard of
esthetic appreciation. The average
gamin in his whistling moments by no
means confines himself to airs of the Nc
Ginty variety.
His repertoire has amuch wider scope,
and includes scraps from the sympho-
MES and even Wagnerian leitmotivs.
The model newsboy drifts quite grace
fully and naturally from Little Annie
Rooney" to the Gunther theme, and from
the "Anvil Chorus" to "Shall We Gath
er at the River!"
Several times have been startled at
the sound of u Nibelung motive culver
ing on the night air in the neighborhood
of Park Row, to find upon investigation
that it emanated from the puckered lips
of dirty faced street Arab.
1t is not probable that these whistlers
have ever absorbed the music of the
Trilogy from box at the Metropoli-
tan opera house, or even from remote
quarter of the topmost gallery, but in
some mysterious manner they have
caught ON" to the music, and with q
ready tact sifted out from the agglomera'
ton of involved harmonies the tuneful
ness that many of the aristocratic occu
nants of the k3 seats have hean uI1itf
powerless to detect.-New York Herald
