Japanese ETIQUETTE.

The Japanese young lady now learns
fine manners, the etiquette of society.
and above all, the arrangement of flow
ers. The mistress of house who was
unable to arrange them would be re-
garded as absolutely incompetent to take
her place in the world; and not only
must she have the artistic sense of color
and form, she must be learned in the
deeper science of their allegorical signifi-
canoe. Flower language is one of the
tongues in which she must be able to
converse.

And nursed the poor fellow to life again
By smiles more'n anything else.
And Bill Haskit? He almost worshiped Dell,
For that matter sod the rest;
For there wasn't a man but would go-well,
Long ways TO get her the best.
So they lived happy, if their lives were slow,
Till the winter came again;
And then one day they both started to go
Up the hills to see a claim.
The morning they started the sky was clear,
Though The north wind blew quite chill,
And there hoated back DelFs faint little cheer
From the top of Mason's Hill.
But they hadn't hardly got out of sight
Fore the day turned cold and drear,
And the clouds in the sky, with all their
might,
Raced around, as if with fear.
BY noon the dark clouds had punched IN the
And darkness closed round the camp,
And with it came snow, that went swishing by
With the wind, that blew rampant.
Well, we waited hour, or thereabout,
But as they hadn't got back
We got uneasy, and so started out
With dog to find their track.
We went to the claim and back again twice,
And hunted all through the woods,
With the wind blowing in our face like ice,
And snow coming down IN floods.
snow,
With the pines crashing o'erhead,
But we didn't have ghost of a show
To find 'em-other than dead
By o'clock we was all tagged out,
And started home in despair,
And though Bill was SO hOarse he couldn't
shout,
Hefired his gun in the air.
But it wasn't no use; no answer came,
And our hearts sank down like lead.
But just as we started for camp again
We heard the dog bark ahead.
And there we found 'em; two little white
mounds
Together beneath some trees;
And little Dell, III Carl's coat wrapped around,
Knelt by him there on her knees.
Was they dead? Well, stranger, there both in
one grave,
In death, as in life, hands clasping:
And only the pine is left to bereave,
And to tell of love e'erlasting.
And what is my name? Well, I'm bound to
say
It's mighty queer you ask it.
But s'pose you'd find it out anyway
So, stranger, Pm Bill Haskit.

THE INDUSTRIAL SITUATION

The review of the industrial situation, in
this section. for the first two weeks of 1891,
recognizes the fact that the iron and steel
trade is affected by weakness of prices and
slackness of demand. Neither of these
features has developed to a degree which
threatens serious complications. Prices
have not gone far enough from the conserv.
ative basis to make any serious fall possible.
The review shows the demand is sufficient
to keep all our works tolerably active.
But the situation is evidently such as to
call for careful consideration of all possible
methods of economizing in production. This
to maintain the supremacy of the market
which we have heretofore enjoyed. The re-
view gives especial attention to two features,
in which the need for economy in produc-
tion is manifest. One is the shutdown
of the Mahoning and Shenango fur
naces until they can get concessions in
in rates on coke, freights and we presume
on ore, that will enable them to continue in
active operations on a lowered market
The DISPATCH has heretofore given its
reasons for regarding the demands of the
furnacemen as deserving OF the careful con-
sideration of the interests from which they
ask the reduction. The furnace owners
have, however, taken the subject out OF the
realm of argument and into the sphere OF
demonstration. We have no doubt their
shutdown will afford convincing proof to the

A GREAT NOVEL
From the Pen Of #. Marion Crawford Sc
cured by The Dispatch.

From the Pen Of Il. Marion Crawford Sc
cured by The Dispatch.
The DISPATCH has secured q splendid serial
written By F. Marion Crawford, author of mt.
Isaacs," "a Roman Singer" etc., entitled
"The Witch of Prague" Publication begins
tomorrow. January Is.
The leading character Of the story, Unorna,
the Witch OF Prague, is a young woman of ex-
traordinary beauty who possesses to remark
able degree hypnotic powers. In fact, in this
character Mr.. Crawford has delineated a
human being who in her own person is able TO
perform as great feats in hypnotism as any
character in real life, and she may, in fact, be
said to stand for the greatest achievement in
this field.
1t is distinctively a pure story. The series of
experiments made to prolong human life are
of themselves OF extreme interest and would
give distinction to the novel, The series of
hypnotic experiments are also most extraor-
dInary. The love story, which is intense and
all-pervading. being the story of the love of two
women for one man and of the man for one of
the women, possesses in itself all the elements
of very striking romance.
The opening chapters of this remarkable
story begin in THE DISPATCH tomorrow.

railroads, coke and ore companies that they

railroads, coke and ore companies that they
need living rates.
The other matter of vital interest is re-
ferred to in the reports OF the mills which
are changing their furnaces to burn coal in
stead of gas. This is not a change in the
direction of economy, but it is the best that
can be done under present conditions. 1t
remains that an important factor in the
preservation OF Pittsburg's manufacture
ing supremacy. lies in the develop
ment OF reliable results in ar
tifcial fuel gas Both individual
and general interests make this work
imperative, and Pittsburg will be guilty of
permitting great benefits to escape her if she
does not push it to ultimate success. The
Disston works, at time when the natural
gas supply was considered permanent. To-
Gated outside the gas region, adopted by
preference a gas process which was
then asserted to be cheaper than the charges
for natural gas then prevailing here. IF any
approximation to such result could be
made then, of what incalculable value it
would be to Pittsburg now?
When these two questions are properly
settled, the industries of this region will con-
tinue to prosper and expand as they have
done during the past five years. Until then
it is pleasant to learn that the prospects are
good for steady operations in the Pittsburg
mills, under the conditions prevailing at
the opening of the year.

q respectable armed force which shall be ed
ucated and practiced in the arts and strate-
gies of war. Like most military men, Gen.
eral Howard is for peace, so long as it can
be maintained on an honorable basis, but he
has no sympathy with the Tolstoi school of
non-resistants, nor the much older Quaker
belief that war is never necessary. He is of
opinion that arbitrament of disputes is far
less difficult to government with good
show of physical force at command than to
one which is helpless.
Regarding the impression that to be a
soldier is to be disgraced. the idea is strongly
denied, and with good reasoning. The overt
acts of one man in uniform no doubt brings
his class into disrepute, while similar acts
on the part of a civilian are not charged to
the discredit of society at large. But one
point the General does not touch upon, the
question of pay. Young men with brains
and ability can usually get much greater re-
turns from their efforts in private life than
from the life of private in the ranks. As
a result majority of those who enlist are
men who are not equipped for success in the
battle of life. Some of the disrepute in
which the life of soldier is held is due to
this cause.
However, the point is we'll made that it is
no disgrace, inherently, to be a soldier.
Many honorable men have served time in
the ranks and many honorable men wear
military titles. And there can be no doubt
but that the practical life of the barracks is
just as essential to the production of the
competent military man as the teaching and
preparation at the military academy.

Artificial Gas for Fuel.

what hope is there of arti fetal gas coming
into general uss as fuel for domestic pur-
poses?' was the question l put to an expert in
all sorts of gases yesterday.
Il think the chances are that Pittsburg will
not have 20 go back to coal when natural gas
fails-which it has not done yet, by the way"
was his reply. II see no reason why artificial
gas should not be made for heating purposes
and supp lied at such terms as would bring it
within reach of most of those who now use
natural gas The existence of a system of
mains and supply pipes is, of course, an import
ant factor, and my calculation includes the
utilization of the natural gas companie,' plant,
There will remain to be established gasometers
for the manufacture and storage of gas at
suitable intervals throughout the city. A um-
her of gasometers of moderate size is preferable
for many reasons to an enormous one centrally
located. The supply will not be dependent
upon one source. and by the distribution of
gasometers the difficulty OF maintaining suffi-
cient pressure will be overcome. Consumers
will have to pay more attention to the problem
of extracting maximum of heat from mini
mum of gas. Economy in the use of gas can
alone bring the artificial fuel within the reach
of the average consumer. There Is no difficulty
in this direction, however. as the heat-produc-
ing and gas-saving burners are increasing in
number and efficiency and decreasing In cost
daily You can rely upon it that enough men
of brains and capital are at work upon this
problem to solve it satisfactorily il it can be
solved. Already company has been formed in
Allegheny to supply artificial gas at 20 cents
thousand, and am confident that King Coal
will not be allowed to resume his sway in this
community without very hard fight

COLONIZATION, NOT DEPORTATION.


The statement of Mr.. Henry M. Stanley
in reply to questions addressed to him by the
President of negro organization, that the
forest tract of Central Africa would be an
ideal region for negro colonization, arouses
the dissent of the New York Sun, which
says the colored people are here to stay.
''They have learned here the advantages oil
civilization" says the Sun; "they have ac-
quired here the habits of orderly industry;
they enjoy freedom; they live on peaceful
terms with their white fellow citizens; they
are making good progress in prosperity, and
they like the land of their nativity"
We heartily agree with the Sun in declar-
ing that the colored people of this county
must be considered an integral part of it;
that their industry and progress. for race
that has spent only a generation out OF
slavery, entities them to respect; and could
indorse more hearty repudiation of the
stupid idea that they must be deported.
But when that position is fully accepted, it
still remains a very commendable thing to
inquire whether there is not work for the
civilized negro in Africa.
The advantages and honor of colonization
and bringing under cultivation the unoccu-
pied portions of the world has been fully
recognized by the Anglo-saxon race. 1t
has not appeared either that because the
Anglo-Saxon has colonized America or
Australasia he has e1patriated himself from
Europe. There is no reason why the propo-
sition that the civilized colored people shall
colonize Central Africa should not be viewed
in the same light as the enterprise of New
England. New York and Pennsylvania citi-
zens in colonizing the trans Mississippi
region. The Congo and Central Africa dis
tricts have a climate which few white con-
stitutions can endure; but if the inherited
physical qualities of the colored race enable
them to settle in that land and turn the
forests into fertile plantations, why should
they not have the honor and profit OF
doing SO?
Of course, there can be no deportation OF
the colored people from this country. That
would be barbarous, stupid and execrable.
But if any number of them wish to under
take the work of building up civilization In
Central Africa, they should be encouraged
in that praiseworthy and honorable enter

GENERAL MILES MUSEUM COLLECTION,

The ancient and peculiar weapons being
delivered to General Miles by the surrender
ing Indians tell an eloquent tale of the rea-
sons for the hostiles' delay. While the big
chiefs were parleying with the military au-
thorities, the uncultivated savages were
carefully concealing tine modern rifles in
their possession, and preparing a collection
of firearms for surrendering purposes that
would surprise a dime museum. If they
surrendered no blunderbusses it was because
they could find none. But this is not the
reason why they have given up no modern
firearms. The Indian is nothing if not cum
ming.

the party ranks got into the newspapers.
Mr.. Brush was shocked and surprised to find
his private remarks exposed to the rude sun
light of publicity, and while not denying
that this remark was made, was prompt to
explain that he did not mean it. The speech
was made to be laughed at, and was intend
ed "to put little life into things" The
latter purpose seems to have been attained
all too perfectly to suit the wishes Of the
creator, but still the inquiring mind may be
pardoned for pushing the inquiry as to
where the joke of such remarks comes in.
This is the view which that light of In
diana Republicanism Mr.. Fishback, takes
of it. He declares in a card
that such frank speech violates the sanctities,
SO to speak, of the political family. Men who
have a sense of decency do not discuss matters
Of domestic privacy in public. A great many
things are said and done in the daily ordering
of Christian household which are taken for
granted without talking about them, even to
our most intimate friends. So in politics there
is certain prudence to be observed as to mat
ters of management in a campaign. The
workers can meet socially and grin at one
another, as the Roman angurs used to do, but
they should be very careful of their speech.
Let the proprIeties be observed at all hazards.
1t must be said that Mr.. Fishback brings
out the humorous phase of the matter much
more clearly than Mr.. Brush 1t is the
frankness of such speech that "violates the
sanctities of the political family" not the
actual support and execution of Doodle
WORK. You may do such things in the
"Christian household" of practical poll
tieians. but they are not to be talked about.
The workers can distribute the Doodle and
meet and grin at one another; but they
must never make speeches about it, most es-
pecislly if there is the slightest chance that
their speeches will get into print. For
political humorist it must be said that Mr..
Fishback is not to be lowered from his lofty
estate by an unjust comparison with Mr..
Brush.
On the whole. certain element Of humor
is to be recognized in this affair. The real
humor is the expose which the politicians
of Indiana have succeeded in making OF
themselves, and which is most complete in
their efforts to put themselves on what they
suppose to be high moral level.

WEEKS COMMERCIAL MOVEMENTS.

On the whole there is cause for encourage
ment in the trade reports for the week.
Business in all lines has been quiet through
out the country. and without startling
features. Exports continue greatly In ex-
cess Of imports, SO far as merchandise and
raw products are concerned, and this must
eventually lead to flow of money in
this direction. The domestic money current
is from West to East. This is accounted for
in the fact that the bulk of last seasons
production of the great agricultural region
has been sold, and the proceeds are going
Eastward again for manufactured goods.
This indicates natural and healthy trade.
Unless the silver legislation interrupts
present tendencies the indications are for
recuperation and increasing activity all
along the line.

THE POLITICAL HUMoR1srs.

A display of what has since been alleged
as jocosity was made at the recent organiza-
tion of the Republican Committee of Indi-
ana. In discussion on the question
whether the committee should be organized
in the interest of General Harrison or not,
q member made the following interesting
argument on choosing the right man for
Chairman:
You all know that we carried the election by
the use of Doodle in 1888 and that we lost 1t in
1890 because it could not be used to advantage
and because Of the new Australian election
law. We must have Chairman who is smart
and brainy enough to get around that law, and
1t must be got rid of somehow.
This remarkable svowal Of the political
methods by which Indiana must be kept in
