and in his environment. He inherited his
brains from his father, yet he is his fathers
opposite. The great, large-hearted giant,
bourgeois sometimes, and even Philistine,
yet never indelicate or immoral, full of
humor, but with no wit. whose brain was
ever teeming with inventions, with plots.

contrast to Dumas fills, the literary ex-

humor, who breaches morality in terms that
might often make vice blush, whose plots
are put together with nice mathematical
precision, whose sentences are trimmed and
polished with tireless art and whose in
ventive resources are extremely limited.
We have repeated the old fable about the
dress suit and the wax tapers rather as
metaphor than as fact. It has indeed been
asserted as fact. But at present Dumas
has discarded this affectation, if he ever as
sumed it. He appears in his studio in
what looks like compromise between a
bathing robe and suit of overalls. He is
surrounded by elegancies, for he loves the
little things that make life great, the lux

necessities.

CABLE CLICK-TAKERs.

Who Get Foreign News.

The Work Required of the TeIegraphsrs
Who Get Foreign News.
New York Tribune.1
There is something extremely weird about
the lives of the men who work in the tele-
graph cable Offices on the Eastern coast.
They are the most successful of all tele-
graphers, for even the slightest errors in
transmission would cause great trouble.
Nearly all of the cable dispatches are in
cipher, and as the operators cannot possibly
understand the nature of the messages that
pass through their hands, they must work in
the dark, as it were. The cipher code is to
them equivalent to an unknown language; it
has no sense of meaning to guide the opera
tor Alright, and every letter, as it is formed
by the instrument, must be transcribed upon
paper with a mechanical exactness. The
words are disconnected jargon, and the
memory cannot be trusted to the extent os
even a single word.
Ordinarily operators receiving CONNER
cial or press dispatches copy the commercial
characters and words some distance behind
the transmitter. the sense of the dispatch
being then guide to correctness in tran
scriblng. There are telegraphers who, in
receiving press news, copy from to 20
words behind the sender. This is impossible
with those who handle the cable messages.
Every letter must go on paper the instant it
is formed by the armature. To DO this, re-
quires direcrness of attention, a concentra-
ton of thought, that is scarcely less than
painful. As rule, cables land at out-of-
the-way places, and those employed on the
work OF interpreting the signals flashed
under the ocean must spend their lives in
what amounts almost to seclusion.

COOPERATION A SUCCESS.
Example of the Solidarity Watch Case
Company of BrookIyn.

Example of the Solidarity Watch Case
Company of Brookiyu.
New York SUM-
The establishment Of a cooperative shop
by the cloakmakers has awakened consid-
erable interest in the pet scheme of labor
reformers. One Of the oldest and most
prosperous of these enterprises is the Solid
arity Watch Case Company of Brooklyn.
This company was formed in the early part
of 1886 by go members of the United Watch
Case Makers, a trades organization founded
on the usual principles of labor union.
1t was resolved to form a stock company,
and. in order to gain solid footing among
the numerous other concerns engaged in
this trade, to fix the nominal capital stock
at $50, 900. Nearly every member of the
union bought few shares to start with, and
work was begun with nine men. A suit
able plant had been purchased, and the
workshop was stocked with all the necessary
tools and enough gold to keep the men busy
for at least week.
The plan was perfect success. Before
the week was out more men were taken in
and the facilities for turning out watch cases
were extended. An agent was sent to New
York to fix up an Office on Broadway and to
dispose Of the products of the shop. At the
end OF the month the company had orders
for more goods than the men then employed
could possibly make, and accordingly new
men were taken in.
The company has been established over
five years now, and every month of its ex-
istence at least one new man has been en-
ployed, but few have been discharged. The
result is that to-day there are 95 happy
watch case makers, working for wages as
good as if not better than those of any other
man who follows that trade, and holding an
interest in the profits that accrue from his
labor.

to some little share in the good things that
come to lite. There are farms where the
music of the parlor organ, and even the
piano, may be heard mingling its melody
with the lowing kline and the neighing
horses. You will generally find good fences,
neat outbuildings and carefully-kept garden
spots near such homes as this. There may
not be quite so much money in the bank, nor
such broad acreage of land under tillage,
but there is home and love and peace-a
galaxy of blessings infinitely superior to
dollars and cents and penuriousness.
Around such homes the weeds seldom
grow, and the laborers do not groan. What
would be slavery to the farmers wife alone,
is, comparatively speaking, pastime with
the rosy girl who helps her in her duties till
the daughters gain strength and education
to fit them to fill their places. One of the
best investments on farm is good girl in
the kitchen. Instead of the haggard, weary
look upon the farmers wife's cheek you will
see the expression of content.
Not Heaven nf Best.
At best the life is lonely one. It is try
ing and tying. Not for long can she leave
her home Once week to church and pos
sibly once week or so to some neighboring
town, v here all her time is taken in trad
ing this and that to make all ends meet
She sees little of society, and has not very
much time for books if her inclination
leans in that direction. Surely her home
should be made as pleasant as possible.
And further, there are girls who have had
no chance to know much about household
duties who are very apt at learning. Many
a man of moderate means has won happy
helpmeet from the store and the factory. A
criticism that does not open the door for e1-
ceptions is always unjust. Bright and
blithesome is many house from the good
offices of such one. And yet it must be
acknowledged that the general rule holds.
Let every young man try to get wife. 1t
is his duty. "Her price is above rubies. !"
That is to say it ought to be. Well. it is il
she be true and virtuous. and strives TO fill
her mission. which Is neither to rule or be
ruled, but to be true helpmeet indeed.
Oh, woman, in our hours OF ease,
Uncertain, coy and hard to please,
When pain and sickness rack the brow,
Then, ministering angel thou.

An Aztec Metropolis Which Indians Say No
White Man Has Ever Seen.
Philadelphia Inquirer.1
"During frequent visits have made to
Mexico" said a mining engineer Of this city
last night, II have come in contact with
many OF the Indians resident there and have
heard some very singular stories. One.
which all the Indians unite in telling, is
that far in the interior exists an enormous
city never yet visited by white men. 1t is
described as peopled by race similar to the
ancient Aztecs, who are sun worshipers
and offer human sacrifices to their deity.
The race is said to be in high state Of civil
ization, and the Indians say that the city Is
full Of huge structures which are miracles
of quaint, but beautiful architecture, and are
situated on broad, paved streets far surpass-
ing those of the City of Mexico.
zone Indian, recollect, assured me that
he had seen the city and its inhabitants with
his own eyes, but had been afraid of being
captured and had fed. Of course, did not
believe him, but, all the same, it is not q
little strange that the accounts of the Mexi-
can Indians relative to the mysterious and
magnificent interior city agree perfectly"

General William G. Oates, NJ. O., Of

"When a mimic ball strikes you at a short
distance, as the ball did which took off my
arm, you feel stunning shock, very much
as if a man had struck you with briekbat.
After that you feel the pain-sharp, sting
ing, cutting, as if thousand knives were
lacerating every nerve and red-not Goals
were consuming your vitals. Then fol-
lows a sickening sensation, caused by
loss of blood. and, if you are fortunate,
you lose consciousness and forget your

rapidly when given hypodermically, and
that, L think, would be the best way of ad.
ministering them.
"The poison above all others that think
would give tine best results as ameans ofexe-
cution is morphia. If one grain of NOR

nary man, the dose repeated an hour after
ward, the man would pass away in q quiet
sleep. He would drop off into a delicious
slumber, and from this painless sleep there
would be no waking. Of course, if the man
was addicted to the use of morphine, such a
course could not be pursued, or the dose
would have to be enlarged.
"Hydrocyanic acid, better known to the
general public in the form of prussic acid,
is another poison that might be utilized this
way. 1t is probably the most rapid of
poisons. 1t is so deadly that when inhaled
it causes death. Smelling and tasting it is
very dangerous. 1t should not be expert

could take two jumps to another corner.
The man would have convulsions. but be

his wife to get him q bottle of medicine.
She handed him in mistake q bottle OF

instantly from the tingling sensation about
his lips what he had swallowed. my dear,
he said, you have given me aconite.' The

New York Sun.l
The salmon, most abundant in the Alas
kan streams, is the humpback or garbusche.
At times they are so numerous in the Karluk
river that it is impossible for boat to force
its way through them in crossing stream.
On one occasion seine 80 feet in length
took an enormous draft of fish. About 2, 900
salmon were dressed out of it from A. M.
to P. M, and afterward the men were oc-
cupied three hours in cleaning the seine.
The remainder Of the fish were in mass
four feet deep. During 1889 250, 900 cases,
of eight pounds each, of salmon were put up
on the Karluk. The whole catch for four
months amounted to 100000 pounds Of
canned fish.
In one day 150, 900 red salmon of an aver
age weight OF ten pound were taken. The
capital invested in the canneries OF Karluk
is more than $4,000, 900, and the product
about H,000.00O that and the plant repre-

Likely TO be Adopted.

New York SUM-
One of the benefcent results of the various
experiments which have been made during
the last two years, with view to determine
the value of electricity for killing purposes,
is the establishment of the fact that not only
can cattle be despatched by the electric cur
rent without the least pain, but that the
meat of the animal is actually improved by
the passage of the current, and will keep
longer than by any other method. The sue
eessful operation of an electric slaughtering
apparatus is reported from Colorado.
The apparatus consists of pen provided
with a metallic floor divided into two sec
tions, to secure a good electrical contact,
with which the hoofs of the animal are
made wet. The killing is effected either by
applying the current direct to the metallic
floor, or making direct application of the
electrode to the head of the animal.
