THE STRIKE PRACTICALLY OYER.
Richmond Locomotive and Machine Works
in Full Blast.

It may possibly be a mistaken idea. but
from all appearances the fight between tie
Richmond Locomotive and Machine Works
and the strikers has ended. and that in favor
OF the works i 1ffe Tepre-entatit o visited
the establishment Yesterday. and there WIS
no sign whatever Of trouble in any dire t on
and one OF TIE managers SAID that he cOuslG-
cred all trouble practically at an
end here was nothing whatever TO
indicate that there had ever been
any difficulty, or even any partial
suspension If operations in that immense aud
busy establishment. They are now working
a full force of hands, some few OF whom were
among those who went out on the strike, but
who. having more fully considered the sub
ject, have returned 10 their ia 'es. The whole
place presents a scene Of life ana activity. and
an Increasing amount of work is being turned
out each day.
In the new boiler-shop. which stands on tho
site Of the one recently destroyed by fire.
there IS continual din and clatter which
makes conversation impossible. caused by
scores of men as they hammer away on the
numerous boilers now IN course of construc-
ton. The machine-shop is moving along
smoothly with full force, and they are now
turning ont work equal to that done by any
establishment in tho country.
The men all look happy and contented.
Some of the brass work for the batte-shp
Texas is finished in a style of the greatest
beauty and excellence. Several large loco
motives for Southern roads are now nearly
completed, and they are said 10 surpass any
work vet done there. On fat-car near the
entrance to the works yesterday was one Of
the enormous cylinders for the ships building
at Newport News. which has been finished
and is perfect in every respect
The furnace for preparing billets for the
10000 pound steam hammer was at work and
the company Is now prepared 10 forge the
great frames on which the whole machinery
of a locomotive rests. These frames have
heretofore been purchased in Pittsburg. and
the great delay and Inconvenience occasioned
thereby will now be ended.

Eggs as Remedial Agents.

Every housewife understands the
value OF 9 from a culinary stand
point, and often grieves that she can
not get all she would like. How many
know the value of eggs in the various
disabilities to which human nature is
subject Here are some OF their uses
outside OF good living:
For burns and scalds the white OF
eggs laid over will exclude the air and
allay pain, being more soothing than
collodion, is softer and more cooling.
II the white OF an egg is beaten with
n little sugar and swallowed 1t is ell
cacious in bronchial affections.
For hoarseness peat the white OF an
egg to a stiff consistency as for FROST
ing with sugar, flavor with lemon
Juice, pour the whole into a cup OF
boiling water and drink before going
to bed.
For dysentery beat up an egg with
or without sugar and swallow. 1t will
assist in recovering the inhamed bow
els with their mucus covering.
For inflammatory boils or contu-
sions the yolk OF eggs, combined with
honey and flour, will allay inflamma-
ton and afford relief.
For invalids soft-boiled or poached
eggs are the perfection OF diet; nothing
is more digestible or n~ourishing.
For clarifying coffee, %iellies, etc,
nothing Is finer.

A Devoted Soldier.

Napoleon met an old soldier who
had lost an arm, says the Pail Mall
Budget. MY friend, how did you
lose that arm
Fighting for you, sire"
Napoleon, moved, responded with u
handful of coins.
''Sire," said the veteran, eagerly,
''what would you give if | had lost the
other, too?"
IL would give you the cross OF the
Legion OF Honor"
with your own hand?"
"With my own hand"
Quick as thought the old soldier
drew his saber and slashed off his
remaining arm at the shoulder. Very
affecting, But then the question
arises, how on earth did he manage
to do it.
