1t is pretty generally conceded in New
York that the slowest men TO learn a
lesson are the heads OF the cloak making
firms. During the past eighteen months
the j~ourneymen cloakmakers have en-
forced their just demands not less than
a dozen times, and yet 1t seems that
there are firms which hardly wait for
the ink upon a contract Of settlement to
dry before they again attempt to get the
best of their employees. Those familiar
with the facts AVE conceded in almost
every controversy between the workers
and the capitalists in this industry that
the demands OF the former were just, and
they have succeeded in enforcing them
right along. Still some Of the bosses,
Notwithstanding the heavy losses they
AVE sustained in past difficulties, seize
every opportunity to take advantage of
the men, recklessly violating agreements
made with the union. They think to
wear out the men, but they make a mis-
take; the cloakmakers of New York are
stayers, and so long as they are wSsely
guided need never lose in any contest
with the bosses

The New York Recorder says the
avers and hammerers won a victory
to be ashamed Of" because it was
claimed that they intimidated the con-
tractors by their knowledge that the
contract with the city was not being
kept, SO far Ms the quality of the stone
used was concerned. 1t seems that the
labor officials tacitly admitted that they
had the bulge on the contractors in that
direction. The Recorder is indignant
because the workingmen did not give
the contractors away instead of using
their knowledge of crookedness as a club
TO win their fight. This sounds good
and it may be all right, but | find my
self wondering If the city officials would
have exercised themselves to see that the

Friendship Tablecloths."

The idea of Friendship tablecloth"
comes from England. Such cloth is
small affair used at five O'Clock teas.
The centre of ecru linen is encircled by
a broad border of linen canvas. On this
canvas ground various friends of the
owner are asked to embroider their in
itials in silk, crewcls or cottons, as suits
their fancy, interlacing the letters or
making them separate. The result is
sort OF harlequin effect in coloring and
style, which, like well-made crazy
quilt, has some pleasant surprises in
color. But do not imagine this is all
chit and miss" work; nothing in needle
work requires the exercise of good taste
more than a well-made piece of crazy
work; so each person who embroiders
her initials on this rather foolish
Friendship tablecloth'' must choose her
colors and the style of her monogram or
initials so as to make it appear at the
best advantage and produce harmonious
whole. Il New York Tribune.

duel between two women is almost
unheard of in these days, although oc-
casionally the excitable blood of France
Impels fair fencers to match their cour-
age and skill in serious combat. In the
olden times, however, the art of duel
ling was far from being unknown to the
fair sex. Hundreds of wears ago women
not only fought each other, but also the
sterner sex, aud in the Middle Ages
several cases of wife calling ont her
own husband are on record. If lady
killed her opponent, she was regarded
as an honorable widow, and free to
marry again. The husband was also at
liberty to kill his wife, butif she begged
for her life and lie still killed her he
was forced to live in retirement, and
was looked upon as disgraced Still
later on, German ladies held regular
tournaments, and at the same date the
ladies of Bologna fought merrily with
each other. France has always, how
ever, been the real home of the duet,
and lady duelists survived in that coun-
try long after they died out in other
parts OF Europe. We believe that even
French duelists will come to see the
absurdity of the practice in time Re-
cent examples present very Pertinent

Pineapple Culture.

The cultivation of the pineapple is at
tracing much attention in Florida and
experiments made are proving very pro-
titable. A correspondent Of the Florida
Dispatch from Indian River writes that
he has altogether about forty-five acres,
twenty-five of which are fruiting. He
says: 81 received in round numbers
ST, 400 for the apples off two acres and
sold off the same land $500 in plants;
and the prospect is as good for this year
as last, if not better Some of my plants
are very old and they do not make much
fruit, not more than 5000 to $3.50 per
acre. So with me they net from 5000 to
$i00 per acre." 1t is believed by some
Who are familiar with this industry that
il can be carried on just as successfully
in the warmer portions of this State as
in Florida.

oIher things being equal, applies with
all Its force to everything the farmer
buys, and nowhere has it greater
weight than in the purchase of fertiliz-
ers. One Of the largest manufacturers
IN the State of Ohio recently told the
writer that his house made three
grades of ground bone; one of these
they would guarantee pure under any
penalty, another they sold for five
dollars per ton less, but would not
guarantee pure, though they would
guarantee, if needed, that it contained
but salt cake; while third article
sold ut still lower price, only diff.
fercd from the second in containing a
larger proportion of salt cake.
This cheapest Of the three brands
they named "Good," and sold il as
such. Oh fertilizer how the truth is
bent and twisted, distorted and dis
tended, stretched and contracted. in
thy namel In very many cases their
customers would take the second or
third grade of their cheapest fertiliz-
ers, at from five to ten dollars per ton
less, under the impression that they
were more economical than their neigh
bors who purchased the best. This
manufacturer did not hesitate to admit
that his profits were greatest on the
lowest grade and the least on the pure
article, and 1t Is but safe to assume
that he voiced the sentiments of all
fertilizer manufacturers.
In nearly all the States that use
commercial fertilizers to any great ex-
tent, the farmer and honest manu-
iacturer We're intended to be protect
ed by laws which regulate the manu-
facture and sale of these articles. The
latter may fix the amount of phosphorie
acid, ammonia, and potash he will
guarantee to be present, but having
once fixed and recorded it he must
keep the standard up to what he has
agreed to. This law, however, has too
many flaws and loopholes, it resolves
itself into absolutely one man power,
and there are many ways the law may
be eyaded and still run no risks of the
prescribed punishment What is
needed is law, and it should be q
United States statute, that would
provide o competent analyst, not q
political pap-sucker either, for each
Congressional district, and all fertiliZ-
ers offered for sale within his territory
should be handled by him and sold on
their merits; e. g., their unit value.
This would be the cheaper way for
manufacturers who could pool if they
wished and much more satisfactory
to the farmer.

Butter In California.

Butter is made in peculiar way in
California, but it is sold in still more
eccentric fashion. The butter maker
always turns it out in round rolls, about
half-foot in length, supposed to weigh
two pounds. The dealer sells it by the
roll and chargcs for two pounds, but the
roll always lacks from six to eight ounces
of full weight. This thing has been
going on for years to tho loss of the con-
sumner, and without profit to any one
except the middleman. The Inter buys
butter by the pound and sells it by the
roll, 80 he makes clear profit on the
short weight When man handles
several tons of butter day this makes
large item, for on each roll he will make
from eight to ten cents, or Mt least 300
on every ton. The dairyman can't pre-
vent this, as if they made butter in good
two-pound rolls no commission man
would handle it. What thee butter
maker proposes to do is t. establish an
honest mould for the rolls and then sell
their butter themselves in a cooperative
market. This will also run out the

But the rank does exist now, and, whal
IS more, IT exists in the United State.

admirals are together the senior of them
dies the blue; but let Admiral Gherardi's
ship appear, and down goes the blue, to
be succeeded by the red, while Admiral
Gherardi's vessel flaunts the blue. And
then let Admiral Kimberly happen along.
Down comes the blue and the red, to be
succeeded by the red and the white; and
behold, it is Admiral Kimberly's craft
that displays the white starred blue en-
sign. Just this happened at the Wash
