Some Foreign Words.

One IF the fair young girl graduates who
quite recently mapped out the destiny of
the world in an essay entitled "a Dream
of the Future" has taken to writing So
ciety novels, and her latest effort. the
manuscript Of which lies ON the desk of
the literary editor for review, is well up to
the standard of current fiction. Especially
is this so in the selection of foreign words
and phrases which abound in the story. 1t
strikes me, however, that they are not al
ways up to the mark in the application.
For instance, ii is going little too far,
think, to say tat the rounded cheeks of
Jessica wore beautiful sub rosa hue, and
that her hat draped in nom de plumes was
most becoming. don't quite sec how the
little bona fide could come in waSging his
tail, or that the chickens could be put in o
their coup d. etat. l should not care to
risk my bones galloping away on hors de
combat, but | suppose l should be as safe
as in ordering my steak double entendre,
especially when Ich dien at 2 o'clock pre-
cisely. Finis, the end is an apt quotation.

Salt for the Hair.

There is an old belief that salt water in.
jures the hair, and a delightful old lady
once explained the reason therefor.
You see" she said, 1.-THE salt in the
water is stronger than the hair in your
head, and 50 the salt just draws the hair
right out" Assuming this to be true
that salt water will draw the hair out OF
the head when it isn't otherwise specially
inclined toward coming out, by good
homeopathic reasoning we come to the
conclusion that when the hair insists upon
coming out of its own accord a vigorous
treating with salt and water will put O
stop to it. Whether the reasoning be true
or not the fact is. Not all the tonics YOU
can buy at the hairdresser's will do YOU,
hair half the good, if it manifests q
tendency toward falling out, that a daily
scalp bath of strong salt and water will

The Power of PRAYER.

One of our city undertakes relates a lit

You didn't!' exclaimed his wife.
Eyes, l did. | have heard it done % often
that it all came to me without thought.
Besides that it did NE good; got three
funerals last week which would never

prayer. - Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph

EPOCH

The transition from long lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the individ-
ual. Such a remarkable event is treas.
ured in memory and the agency whereby
the good health has been attained is
gratefully blessed. Hence it is that SO
much is heard in praise of Electric Bit
tiers. So many feel they owe their res
toration to health, to the use of the grea,
Alternative and tonic. If you are troubled
with any disease of kidneys, liver OIL
stomach, of long or short standing you
will surely find relief by use of Electric
Bitters. Sold at SOC and 81 per bottle

One other question which occupied
the n. A 3. at its late session was that
of apprentices. The bosses want to put on
enough apprentices to remove 1.-The ne
cessity of drafts on foreign labor" How
dear to the hearts of these gentlemen
are the American workingmen. Now,
what is the real object of this agitation
of the apprentice question? Why, the
bosses want to employ boys to do the
lighter work at about one-ffth of the
wages demanded by journeymen. 1t is
well understood that III almost all skilled
employments there are portions of the
work which can be done by those with
little experience-there's where the me-
chanic may ease up little on the strain.
If this part of the work is done entirely
by helpers and apprentices the demand
for skilled men is lessened and competi-
ton between them for the reduced num-
Der of situations is heightened. At the
same time the bosses are turning out
half made mech anics, who are carefully
educated to a low scale of wages. The
unions of this country generally have
very reasonable rules governing appren-
ticeships, and the manual training
schools, which are becoming so numer-
Gus and popular, can be trusted to make

glorious Individual liberty. Gen. Booths
plan is III practicable for tho reason that
the people it is designed to help have
been brought to their destitute condi-

the restraints of the civil law, and there

This gentleman would have gag law
passed and enforced which would pre-
vent unjustly treated workingmen from
appealing to other workingmen who
were tempted to help the bosses starve
their brothers into subsection. A guard
of Pinkertonesque pattern should be
placed around the mind of the working
man, SO that the grievances of strikers
may not enter and make an impression.
The bosses may have their oath bound
organizations, pledging each member to
stand by his fellow member in case of
strike or boycott, and may exact heavy
fines for viola lions of the principle, but
the workingnlan must stand alone, and
not attempt 10 influence the body or
mind of his fellow laborer This is the
kind of doctrine the captains of indus
try" try to force down the people,
throats; but it won't work. Most of the
gudgeons have moved over the river
The convention adopted a resolution
favor1ng arbitration, but it will be well
to wait until about the middle of the
summer before expressing an opinion on
that point. The spring will present
plenty of opportunities to test the sin
cerity of the bosses. l am free to con-
fess that / doubt it.

But this woman knows just why all
the propositions of the .would-be regen-
orators are bosh and nonsense. Let her
tell it: the constitution of society is
not the result of chance, but necessary
and inevitable thing. 1t has hardened
around the human character and taken
its form from it. While the old vices
and cruelties and injustices remain in
the individual, society will show the
same faults" This is a dark picture,
but she who painted it is not entirely
without hope, if she doesn't have any
regard for consistency. She says, when
we have evolved better humanity, a
better society will be already here"

Gently. At the session the subject of

strikes was discussed. One of the mem
bers expressed the prevailing sentiment
of the association when he said: The
most serious aspect of strikes is the in
reference of the strikers with the rights
of their employers and their attempts to
obstruct wor lmen in taking the aban-
doned places. OF course where actual
physical violence is used the law fixes
upon the guilty individuals liability to
its full extern; but the question becomes
more difficult of answer where the
means used are the intimidation of en-
ployers of prospective workmen by
threats of bodily harm or by any method
Of intimidation that works upon the
mind rather than upon the body, and
really causes the nOn-striking workman

AN ILLITERATE STATE.

If the people of Louisiana are without
cause for complaint against the men who
collected census statistics, then the youth
of that state have good ground for COM
plant against their elders. 1t is deplor
able showing which the census makes in
the matter of education, and one which is
entirely out of harmony with the spirit of
the age and the ambition of the country.
The total school population is 2S9, 1863, while
the attendance in the public schools last
year was only $1,000, or about sc per cent,
of the children Of school age. The effect of
this educational neglect may he readily
seen. For instance, in 1880 there were
,937 illiterate voters in the state,
and in 1883 the number had in
creased to 127, IA. If these illiterates
were confined to the blacks it might be
charged that the negroes themselves were
responsible for their ignorance but when
! it is shown that of the illiterates in 1880,
/ 16, 81 were white, and of those in 1888,
! %, 914 were white, it will be seen that the
whites have little to boast over the blacks.
| 1t is hardly possible that an American
state will pass under the control of an illit-
crate majority, although the tendency in
that direction should set the better elemen,
of Louisiauans to thinking very seriously
OF the necessity of lnauguratiug better
school system than that which now pre-.
walls there.
