No Enumeration Table for This,

A Scottdale pa dispatch says:
The cost of the strike thus far on both sides
will aggregate about three millions of dollars.
Men and brethren, the cost on the
side of labor cannot be computed.
The struggle duplicates moralities
which have no measure in dollars and
cents.
1t has not only dragged what the
Meyersdale Register calls Prospect
able" labor under the reign of
"fraternaP terrorism, but it has in
volved its self-respeet in the common
ruin.
"The respectable toiler," in thous-
ands of instances, like the horse after
his first runaway, will be ever here
after suspected by his employer.
And, worse than the horse, he will
enjoy less trust in his own stability
and less pride in his own personality.

Political.

Nobody appears to know what has
become of the Frank Brown club.
The meetings are said to be quorum
less, Frank -assessable and R. X.
Brady's theory of the appropriateness
of unproductive stock combine to
make the spectators believe that
Franks Frostburg orifamme is in a
hole.
By the way, the Ledger last week
concludes review of the political sit
uation with the following paragraphs:
From now until June the county papers
cannot be expected to talk politics much for
the county printing hangs like the sword Of
Damocles. Some of the commissioners de-
sire a radical change in this matter and want
no contracts made On the other hand all
the papers want to be put on the list. One
story is that the work will be divided between
the two Cumberland dalies and one paper in
Homecoming and one in Frostburg. Whether
the latter is to be newspaper or only an
organ the story does not say.
Funny that a newspaper" that
could find out so much about Sloan,
Wellington, Griffith, Pearre, Human,
Richmond and Mullin could ascertain
nothing definite about the only matter
in which it is supremely interested.
The moral of all this, however, is
this-if the Ledger considers the county
advertising bride, and it wants to be
brbed, it should start out on the
Roscoe Conkling plan of hunting
wild turkeys-leave it's brass band out
of the chase.

Not necessarily.
The brain is the seat of sensation
and is best chastised at long range.
1t is an immense pity, however, that
the schoolmaster in West Virginia
should be an object Of so much edi-
torial aversion.
And greater pity that the devil
who provokes him is by implication

First in all Respects but Two.

Frostburg is undeniably the second
place in population and the first in
morals in the county.
1t has everything that most towns
have not, and some good things it
lacks that other towns own by ac-
cident.
For instance in the latter case it
has no depot in town because the town
was not build around the depot.
But it has the most salubri0us
atmosphere, the softest water and the
grandest sweep of landscape view that
the glorious sun in all his course
shines upon.
And it owns its own unfinished
water system and, unlike Cumberland,
reioices in its own unbusted credit.

Another Illustration of an Exception.
The JOURNAL usually pays no atten-
ton to anonymous receipts by mail,
but the following, postmarked "Lona-
coming, April 81" is too good to
suppress:
Tedcher-Tommy, can you give me SEN
tence in which but is conjunction?
Tonny-See the goat butt the boy. Butt
is a conjunction and connects the boy with
the goat.
According to the Star, goat being
singular, the verb should be butts See?

Valuable Advice for the Present Dav.

Mrs. Helen e. Sterrett, in a recent num-
Der of the Forum, contributes an article
entitled Housekeeping in the Future"
In it she tells how in few years electricity
will supply light tor the home, the family
cooking and washing will be done outside,
and there will be so little work in the
household that the occupation of the do
mestic servant will be gone.
But Mrs. Sterretts article is simply
prediction, and has no more than passing
interest for the ladies who live in 1890.
Their social and household cares are strain
ing their delicate, nervous system, and the
result is terrible. Headaches, backaches,
and womanly ills are growing alarmingly
common. Many of them find that men,
DRY is failing; they are unable to recall
the names of friends or tell whether they
have performed some of their usual house,
hold duties.
Their nerves are in such condition
that very slight causes or perhaps no cause
at all, may irritate them. Life grows to be
burden. There is no need for despair,
but there is great need of caution. Their
nerves should be built up, life fortified,
and brain restored with that remarkable
preparation, Paine's Celery Compound.
Instead Of the depressed and languid feel
inss, after the Compound has been used,
they will feel active, vigorous, and happy.
To those who are weak and failing, and
desire health and happiness instead Of i'll
ness and misery we earnestly urge that
they act upon this advice.

Twelve years passed, during which

strictly binding, and should any reason
occur for its breaking l did not look
upon it as a serious obstacle.

on the porch of hotel facing one of the
New England beaches, chatting with a
friend-a lady. The porch ran nearly
around the hotel. TWAS the hour when
the young lady soj0urners, dressed in
tasteful costumes, promenaded, some
times three or four abreast, back ana
forth; quite enough of them, I thought,
to form battalion of beauty. Sudden
ly, in one Of the platoons that tramped
by, appeared one who, as she passed,
nodded pleasantly to the lady with
whom 1 was sitting. The salutation
was unstudied, yet not familiar hap
py combination of cordiality and digni-
ty. The smile that accompanied it sent
thrill through me in setwinkling.
"Who is that" inquired quickly.

The next afternoon was standing on
the porch with my friend taking my leave.
A bevy of young girls approached, and
one of them. wishing to speak to my

of the senator from Ohio (Shermaa) as to
what would happen from the free coinage
of silver. Perhaps he was not as sen.
