Their Common Interest.

The Journal ofMe knights of Labor
points out as a hopeful sign the solidity
of labor the world over as exemplified
by the action of the English trade
unions ia raising a fund for the assist
ance of the Australian dock laborers.
1T is expected it says in the last
issue. that the English dockmen alone
will be able 10 raise from fl5,000 to
Ego 600 in repayment of the generous
assistance given by the la.or reformers
of Australia during their struggle, which
in no small degree enabled them to
win in the contest. In addition to
this the Gas-W orkers' AMI Sailors
unions will each send 81, 900 in aid of
the Australian strikers and their noble
example will doubtless incite other
unions to contribute. We are rejoiced
to note this indication that the toilers
in other lands are beginning to recog-
niZe and to practically act upon the
principle that labor ev9ryw here has
common interest irrespective of dis
lance or international boundaries. If
all the laborers of the civilized world
fully appreciated this oreai truth they
would be irresistible. SO long us we
allow international jralous;es, race
prejudices or mistaken ideas of patriot
ism to influence us we shall fight at a
disadvantage with An enemy which
never allows national or sectional pre-
judice TO override its interests.

How to Talk Well.

you will find yourself speaking the

self, as well as others. by the quickness
with which your thoughts will be well

Anecdotes OF the Prince Imperial

There are many pleasant incidents
to be told of the Prince Imperial. The
deep melancholy ascribed to him GER
tainly did not appear on the surface.
He and boy companion would lie for
hours upon their backs, under the huge
trees of the park. and shoot with ar
rows at the birds that lighted on their
branches; or they raced over the wide
meadows of the estate, surrounded by
pack of dogs; or the dogs were forced
to jump and exercise at the caprice of
their young masters.
About the unfortunate boys horse
manship we have all heard time and
again. 1t is sometimes said that its
very perfection caused his death, as he
would not mount until every appendage
of his saddle was placed in exact posi-
ton. 1t is probable now. however.
that no more details will ever be added
to those already given of his last strug-
gle. When at Chislehurst. the Prince
delighted to throw himself upon a
barebacked horse and gallop round
and round a field. Sometimes the
park was chosen for these escapades,
and any friend or lady of the house.
hold who happened to be near was
chased round and about through the
mazeS of the wood.
His room at Camden Place faced the
Commons sea of gorse. and was a
small. plainly furnished apartment,
lighted by two ordinary windows.
We looked from one of these at the
view that must have been so familiar
to him; on its white Venetian shutter
was written in pencil in cramped,
French schoolboy hand. Louis Napo-
leon, April "a, 1874 There is now on
the Common, nearly in front of this
window, stone shaft erected by the
citizens of Chislehurst to his memory.
This monument is a copy. though OF
lighter build. OF that erected by the
Queen over the spot of his death in
Zuiuland. The tall column. capped
by runic cross. can be seen from
every approach to the Common. On
it is engraved, between two Napoleonic
bees:

The Andes Sinking.

The startling announcement is made
that the Andes are slowly sinking into
the earth's crust. As proof of this La
Gazette Geogrdphique says that Quito
was 1856 feet above the level of the
sea in 1745; in 1900 it was only $3.50;
in 1881. 1867. having sunk tweuty-six
feet during the tifty-tive years follow
ing 1745 and but three feet during the
thirty-one years which interviewed be
tween 1900 aud 1881. In 1868 the
city's level had been reduced to $3.50
feet above the level of the Pacific. To
sum up the total. we find that Ecua-
doris capital has sunk seventy-six feet
in 122 years. Antisana's. farm. the
highest inhabited spot on the Andes
(40o0 feet higher than Quito. the high
est city on the globe). is said by The
same authority to be 2lS feet lower
tha. it was in 17i5.

Several centuries ago. the peasantry
of Friesland finding their country in
vaded by mounted army. and having
no cavalry TO put in opposition. con-
ceived the idea of stopping the advance
of the horses by putting in their way
pieces of timber. pierced in X fashion
by stout rods of wood. tipped with
sharp iron points. 1t was impossible
for the horses of the invaders TO make
any way against this ingenious device.
and. with a grim sort of humor. the
soldiers dubbed it the horse of Fries
land. or, those particular soldiers be-
ing Frenchmen. cheval de Friesland.
This was presently corrupted to che
val-de-frise. or, in the plural, chevaux-
de-frise.
What the Friesians did then. soldiers
who are put on the defensive have
done ever since; and SO have garden
ers who grow tempting fruits. or gen.
tlemen who have attractive dooryards
in the city. In fact a cheval-de-frise,
properly constructed. is so good bar
rier to progress that it seems to sug-
gest itself naturally to both man and
beast; for it is not only the soldier
who constructs one according to rule.
or the gardener who makes one off
hand by sowing broken bottles in NOR
tar on the top of his wall, who have
thought of this method of repelling in
vasion. A great many birds recog-
nIze the value of thorn bushes for
nesting places, and one bird at least
the rOad-runner of our western, or
southwestern, plains-displays now
and then sound knowledge of the
practical uses of the chevauX-de-frise.
1t is said that its hatred of rattlesnakes
is so intense that when it finds one
asleep in the warm sand of the deserts
it will gather the spiny leaves of the
prickly pear-a species of cactus-and
surround the snake with them in such
manner that it is impossible for the
beleaguered reptile to escape without
passing over the spiny wall, thing he
cannot do without becoming inpaled
upon the sharp spines. Nicholas.

HISTORY OF MATCHES.
Cheaper than Darkness, and Yet They
Cost Millions Every Year.

1t was about 100 years ago that
Berthollet discovered the substance
known as chlorate of potash. says the
Cincinnati Times STIR and it was fifteen
years later that French chemist con-
triyed an apparatus for readily obtain
ing light based on the ready ignition
of a mixture of chlorate of potash aud
sugar by means OF sulphuric acid.
These matches were sold at shilling
Il box, and were called eupyrions in the
first part of the century.
In 1880 the so-calleL prometheans
came into favor. They were short rolls
of paper with point of chlorate of
potash and sugar. together with glass
bead containing oil of yitriol. As one
may easily see, these were announcement
and dangerous.
The first friction match was used in
1877. They were sold in tin boxes con-
tanning fifty matches each for about 60
cents. The use of chlorate of potash
was ut that time considered so danger
GUS that it WAS prohibited by law in
Germany and France.
The essential feature of the lucifer
match is the use of phosphorus for a
middle of the eighteenth century, was
rare. and cost in our money over SIP
an ounce. At the time when it was
first used for matches - 1888 = it
brought about $40 per pound. 1t is
now made ut Birmingham. England,
and Lyons, France, by the hundreds of
tons and can be bought for 60 cents per
pound.
Among the matchmaking countries
of today Sweden stands near. if not at
the head. Among her fifty or more
factories that al Jonkoping. with 6. 900
work people. is the largest in the
world. In 1888 she exported 80. 600,
Co., 600 matches. France is subjected
to Il government monopoly III this
manufacture. The annual value of the
matches made in England is put at 81,
5000

"A Curious race.

w. f. Baker, the late sewing ma.
chine millionaire, had curious con-
ceits in regard to the arrangement of
his private grounds. His place at
Wellesley, Mass. in the matter of the

Everywhere on the premises the visitor
is confronted with some ingenious
piece of eXlravagance. Here in the
pathway is a concealed platform which,
rs you step upon it, swings and sends
you a-lurching; there is an inviting
chair in front of Il Towering cactus, and
when you take seat TO inspect the
cactus, the plant sinks out of sight and
in its place springs up a wooden devil,

Facts Worth Knowing.

Put bits of camphor gum in trunks
or drawers to prevent the mice from
doing any injury.
To freshen leather chair seats.
valises. bags. etc. rub them with the
well-beaten white of an egg.
To prevent tin pans from rusting.
rub fresh lard on them. and set in a
hot oven until thoroughly heated.
Soak clothes, that fade. over night
in water in which has been dissolved
one ounce of sugar of lead to apailful of
rain water.
When washing fine white fannels,
add tablespoonful of pulverized borax
to a pailful of water. This will keep
them soft and white.
To Danish red ants from the pantries,
strew whole cloves around the shelves.
The same is also considered good
moth exterminator.
To keep fat-irons clean and smooth.
rub them with 4 piece of wax done up
in cloth. then scour or rub them on a
paper strewn with coarse salt.
Oil of turpentine. or benzine, will
remove spots of paint or varnish from
cotton or wooden goods. They should
be washed in soap-suds after the ap-
plication.
If paint has been spattered on VIM
dow panes, wet the spots with water

When n stove is cracked, a cement
may be made of wood ashes and salt, in
equal proportions. mixed to paste with
cold water. Fill the cracks with this
when the stove is cool, and it will soon
harden.
Steel pens are Destroyed by the acid

pen is put in the ink the acid therein
will exhaust itself on them, and pens in
daily use will remain in good condition
much longer.
When mattresses are stained, take
starch wet into paste with cold water.
Spread this on the stains, first putting
the mattress in the sun. In an hour
or two rub this off, and if not clean,
