The walking boss and the
shootmouth worker succeeded
in getting up a strike in the
Omaha & Grant smelter at
Omaha, last week, and the re-
suit is that the works are closed
down. The cause was that
the last Legislature of Nebras-
ka passed a bill providing that
eight hours should constitute a
days labor. No smelter in the
United States, at the present
price of smelling, can afford to
pay full days pay for eight
hours work, and this was what
a portion of the men demanded,
which the company could not
pay, hence the strike. 1t may
be that the works will be re-
moved to Denver, where the
fool legislature has not yet
tried to regulate all the details
Of every mans individual busi-
ness.

The mining interests of the
Black Hills have suffered from
the schemes of swindlers, the
mismanagement of incompe-
tent managers and the misrep-
reservations of unscrupulous
enemies, but the individual
who has injured them most is
the man who stakes from forty
to a hundred more claims than
he can work, and thus fences
out men who would do honest
development work. The Ca
madam law which provides that
the locator of a claim shall do
five hundred dollars worth of
work and secure patent before
making another location, might
be copied prohtably in this
country.-Harney Peak News.

4 Boys MANNERS.

His manner is worth a hundred
thousand dollars to him! That is
what one of the chief men of the ma
ton lately said about boy. Itwouldn't
be worth so much to one who meant
to be a farmer, one who had no OPP
portunities, but to young college
student with ambitions it is worth at
least hundred thousand.
The boy was a distant relative of
the man, and had been brought up by
careful parents in large city.
Among other things he had been taught
to be friendly and think of other per
sons before himself. The boy was on
a visit in the town where the man
lived. They met on the street, and
the younger, recognizing the elder,
promptly went to his side and spoke
to him in his cordial, happy, yet re
spectful way. Of course the man was
pleased, and knew that anybody would
have been pleased. The sentence
above was the outcome of it. a little
later the boy came into the room, just
as the man was struggling into his ov-
ercoat. The boy hurried to him, pull
led it up at the collar and drew down
the wrinkled coat beneath. He would
have done it for any man, the haugh-
test or the poorest.
The boy has not been in society a
great deal. He has not learned ORTIZ
odox selfishness. He positively can't
be easy at the table until his neighbors
are waited on. A chair is torture if
he thinks any one else is less comfort
ably seated. He wouldn't interrupt
to let loose the wittiest or the most
timely remark ever thought of. He
may learn to do so some day-after he
has earned his hundred thousand
it is doubtful. The expression of his
kindliness may become conformed
to popular usage, modified, refined,
but the spirit which prompts the ex-
preston will only grow with his years.
Do not misunderstood, boys. You
may be truly unselfish and yet not
have this boys prize. You may wish
to do things for others and yet feel
that you do not know how. The only
way to learn is to try; to hesitate for
no feeling of awkwardness, but to put
into instantaneous practice whatever
kind, helpful thoughts occur to him

HONOR THY MOTHER.

The following beautiful extract,
which we clip from an exchange, will
touch a tender chord in many a heart,
and receive a responsible echo from
breasts that are yet yearning for the
''touch of a vanished hand, and the
sound of voice that is still:''
Honor the dear old mother. Time
brow, pillowed deep burrows on her
cheeks, but is she not sweet and beau
tiful now? The lips are thin and sunk
en-, but those are the lips that have
kissed many hot tear from childish
cheeks, and they are the sweetest lips
in the world. The eye is dim, yet it
ever CLOVIS with soft radiance of holy
love which can never fade. All, yes,
she is a dear old mother. The sands
of life are nearly run out, but feeble
as she is now she will yet go further,
and reach down lower for you than
any other upon earth. You cannot
walk into midnight where she cannot
see you; you cannot enter a prison
whose bars will keep her out; you
cannot mount scafIold too high for
her to reach, that she may bless you
in evidence of her undying love.
When the world shall despise and for
sake, when it leaves you by the way
side to die unnoticed, the dear old
mother will gather you in her feeble
arms and carry you home and tell you
all your virtues until you almost for
get your soul is disfigured by vices.
Love her tenderly and cheer her de-
Ginning years with holy devotion.

they will. But from SIX or seven,
when school begins, there is complete
change. At the age of ten or eleven,
the child sleeps only eight or nine
hours, when he needs at least ten or
eleven, and as he grows older the time
of rest is shortened. DR.. Cold beheVes

BABY IN THE LIONS DEN.

When Ishmael Pasha, the eXtrava-
CANT khedive of Egypt, reigned over
that historical land, said an acquaint-
ance of the notorious ruler, he had in
his garden a large cage of African Ii
ons. Noble brutes they were until the
event of which 1 speak L never tired
of looking at them. One day, While
walking with his highness in the gar
den. the keeper, accompanied by
pretty little girl, entered carrying
basket of meat for the lions. The
khedive and walked toward the cage
TO watch the beasts eat. They were
hungry and bounced upon their food
with a ravenous fury that chilled me.
Standing close by the cage, with her
hand resting on the bars, was the lit
tie child, her long golden hair at times
blown by the breeze inside of the in
closure.
Why do you permit your daughter
to 90 so near the lions? the khedive
asked the keeper.
Oh, replied the keeper, they are SO
accustomed to her they would not
harm her.
Then open the door and put her in
side, said the khedive.
NV blood froze at the command, for
command it was | tried to speak but
could not: was unable even to move.
The keeper, with the submissiveness
of those who know their lives will pay
forfeit if they disobey their ruler, made
with his eyes plea for mercy, but see
ing none in the khedive's face, he kiss
ed the little one tenderly, lifted her
ND. opened the door and placed her
inside. and as the door swung to he
turned his face away and groaned.
The little one, though she did not
stir. seemed not afraid. The lions ap-
peared surprised, and as the largest
and fiercest arose and walked toward
her | thought l should choke. Happl-
" the father did not see the beast.
The khedive alone was unmoved, and
stood gazing at the scene calmly and
with the curious smile | had so often
seen playing upon his features when
watching the dance of a ballet. The
lion went up to the child, smelled OF
her, looking at her fully half a minute,
and then lay down at her feet and beat
the floor with his tail.
Another lion approached. The first
one gave an ominous growl and the
second lion went back. The others
crouched low, and each second eX-
pected them to spring, but they did
not. This continued, [ think, about
five minutes, the big lion never taking
his eyes from the girl and ceaselessly
flashing the floor.
The khedive by this time was evil
IDENTIFY satisfied, and turned to the
keeper and commanded him to thrust
a live lamb into the cage through an
other door. With celebrity L have
never seen equaled the keeper caught
a straying lamb and obeyed. AS he
did so every lion sprang upon the
lamb.
Take out the child! the khedive
commanded, and scarce had the word:
escaped him ere the keeper, who haC
already run to that end of the cage
ierked upon the door, snatched TIT
little one out and clasped her in hi
arms The khedive laughed, tossed
the keeper a coin, and taking my arm
walked on.

The work of our Sunday schools in
temperance is essentially one of form
alton and not reformation; and if ever
there is to be permanent change in
the attitude of government towards
the sale and use of Intoxicating drinks,
it must come through the seven mil
lion or more attendants in our Sunday
schools, who must be rightly trained
in Gods word concerning the sin of
destroying ones self, as well as put
ting temptation to fall in our broth

THE GREATEST OF ALL GIFTs.-There is no
gift to be compared with health. None real

long-standing disease. To such the gift OF
renewed health is priceless. And yet 1T is
within the reach of all such sufferers The
great specialist in the cure of all forms OF ner-
vous and chronic diseases, CIR. Greene, of "a
Temple Place, Boston, Mass, who has long
stood at the head of the profession, has decld-
ed to give consultation and advice hereafter
free. His medicines are all purely vegetable
and harmless and his success in curing dis
eases is unequalled. His wonderful discovery
for the nerves, DR.. Greene's Nervura, is prob
ABLY the greatest medical discovery of the age.
Remember, sufferer, that you can write him
description of your case and he will return a
carefully considered letter, fully explaining
your disease, giving advice, etc, without
charge of any kind. Send for his symptom
blank to fill out, and follow his advice if you
want to be cured.

w. G. T. u. COLUMN.
Morro: ..God and Home and Native Land"

A lady who had been missionary
for ten years on the coast of China
writes to friends at home: eff our
American women knew how much the
American sailors on the coast of Chi
ma need their help to save them from
intemperance, they would come to
the rescue.0 Another missionary says
that no more effective work can be
done for foreign missions than hold
ing gospel temperance meetings
among sailors who are to visit heather
ports. Each drinking sailor who Wis
it's such port, by his example undoes
the work the missionary is doing,
while every sailor converted to COD
and total abstinence in the gospel tenn
perance meetings of America or Eng
land is missionary for good at every
port the keel of his ship touches. An
illustration of this fact is given in the
story of Sailor Jack, converted IN a
gospel meeting of the Chicago w. Z.
T. U. many years ago. After his con-
version he'sailed the wide seas over"
an unconscious forerunner of Mrs.
Leavitt and Miss Alderman. At ev-
cry port he stopped, his first inquiry
was for a w. G. T. u, land if he did not
| find one-as he seldom did-he told
the people they ought to have one, and
did what he could to start it. He
wrote us from an African port, Il
have organized W. G. T. u, only it
is all men l could not find any wo-
men to 90 in.D

Sympathy does not tighten the bur
den of sorrow, but it does help the
burdened one to bear his load. If,
therefore, you know of sorrow
which presses another's heart, give
expression to your sympathy with
him, even though you understand that
he alone must struggle under the
weight of his burden. In one sense
your words cannot help him; in an
other sense they can. Speak them out,
therefore, for what they may be
worth. He will be grateful for them,
and you will be better for their speak
ing.

No pen can adequately describe the
appearance of the Kimberly mine.
1t is the largest hole made by man,
and in the shortest space of time, for
the incentive to work was there-the
diamond. A spectator standing on
the edge looks down and sees men at
work looking like ants in size, and
during the blasting hours he can in
perfect safety witness the explosion
of thousands of pounds of dynamite
and note the rending of masses of blue
clay and rock, which would fall far
below him.
AS an honor to the late "Chinese
Gordon" when he visited the mines,
the writer saw the Kimberly mine illu-
minated at night with thousands of
improvised lamps assisted with color
ed fires and displays of fireworks.
The weird effect produced was grand,
for the eye could not properly mea-
sure distance at night, and the twink
ling lamps but served to heighten the
effect.

The weeping mountain ash has re
ceived as much attention as any weep
ing tree on account of its distinct and
curious habit. A careful examination
of its mode of growth cannot fail to
excite wonder If worked two or
three feet from the ground and allow
ed to grow wild it soon becomes as
odd piece of framework as it is pos
sible to imgaine. Grated six to eight
feet high it becomes very desirable
lawn tree, and in the autumn, laden
with large clusters of bright red fruit,
it produces a brilliant effect.

The members of the Congregational
International Council, recently con-
vened in London, were rendered
breakfast at Exeter Hall, the morning
following the adjournment of the
meeting. There were strong words
spoken for total abstinence, as was
most fitting, since the hosts of the oc-
casion were the members of the Con-
gregational Total Abstinence Society,
the secretary of which said that out of
2,7OO ministers, 1 800 are total abstain
ers-about sixty per cent. When this
society was formed, only thirty per
cent were abstainers. These figures
were encouraging, but much more en-
couraging was the statement, applaud
ed by the English brethren, that Amer
lean Congregational ministers were
abstainers almost to unit.

blessed work is being carried on
in quiet way by the Catherine Mis-
sion'' in New York City. 1t is that Of
holding services OF song with the
mothers who take their children to
the open market place for a bit of
fresh air. Sometimes there are
one or two hundred mothers there
who have seldom an opportunity of
attending place of worship, and who
never hear the gospel unless it is tax
en- into their homes, brought to them
in this manner, as they assemble in
the evening at the water side. A small
organ is carried along, and very in
formal but beneficial service of song
held, during which the workers go
from one to the other as they sit
around and drop a word of encourage
ment or advice, which is often blessed
of God. There are thousands of moth
ers in the tenement houses who never
hear the gospel. Married when they
were very young, they are soon sur
rounded with a family, and entirely
tied down for many years from many
of the privileges which others enjoy,
until, with age creeping on them, and
body, mind and habit settled in a rut,
it is hard to arouse them to realiza-
ton of the needs of their souls.
