Elk Senator ingalls, predicts that war
between capital and labor in this country
is coming compared to which the dangers
and perils Of our war between The States
will sink into iusigni6cance. The Atlanta
J2uHo' thinks that mr.. ingalls,, being
out of a job and at present Of pessi-
mis,ic mood, may magnify the danger, but
j., can hardly be disputed that the legisla-
ton and administration of his own party

ton that is so threatening"

The number of Harper's Young People
for Aug. 18th is pervaded with the pungent
flavor of the sea, beside which so many of
its readers are spending their holidays
One of its most attractive stories is that OF
"The Toy Lamb and the Little Siren" by
E. Cavazza. Mrs. Margaret Preston con-
tributes the sea-shore ballad of "Only One
Boy" and Mr.. Edmund Collins tells of the
seabirds that may be caught with hooks.
Besides these sea stories, there is a picture
of the little polar bears that drifted down
into the Gulf Stream on a cake of ice, and
the Moon Prince embarks with his compan-
ions in a fairy ship fer voyage among the
stars. There is capital story of "a Hy-
pothetical Boy" by Tudor jerks, a rainy
day poem, by Hetta Ward, long instalments
of the two serials now running, and a new
bewildering variety of other interesting
reading matter.

The shrewd Dog Clipper in Paris.

It came to my mind while visiting the
dog show to investigate the traffic in mans
best friend, for dog dealers--or stealers-
are reputed to display considerable ingenu-
ity in their struggle for life. The real dog
dealers-those who have store and are
more or less honest in their operations
are aided In their traffic by providers and
clippers. Dogs do not generally cost the
dealers much.
The clippers, of whom they are the best
customers, serve as indicators, and the
providers charge themselves with the exc
cution of the order. The clippers know
where all the valuable dogs are owned,
because they are employed to clip and EN-
bellish these choice animals. As soon as a
dealer has a customer for a dog of a certain
breed he asks the clipper TO procure the de
sired animal. The clipper, not caring to
have any difficulty with the persons who
employ him, calls upon one Of these street
providers, and the dog demanded is stolen
one day or another.
The dealer gives two dollars to the clip
per, who divides with his accomplce. As
for the owner of the stolen dog, he will
never see the animal again, so he asks the
clipper to. replace him. This industrious
individual thus kills two birds, or two
dogs, with one stone.-Paris Cor. New

Boy Rabies I'm China.

There is the well worn and now almost
worn out tradition that Chinese female
babies have their feet tortured by tight
bandaging to make and keep them small.
That practice, let us say at once, was never
prevalent, except in very high society
like really tight lacing in England-and
even there it is now gradually becoming
obsolete. But among the sweltering mil
lions Of China there is a practice which
seems to have a curious result. The moth
er carries her infant in a kind of bag or
pannier on her back, and not-as in other
countries where the dorsal carriage is af-
fected-with the face turned outward, but
as, probably, we ought to expect in
China where everything seems to go and
come by the rule of contraries-with the
face turned inward.
The result of that is that the baby's nose
is of necessity pressed against its mother S
back, whence, no doubt, say the learned in
these matters, has been evolved, in the
course of ages, the peculiarly fiattened or
blunted nose Characteristic of the China
man. Furthermore, Chinese girls, even
when allowed to live are little thought of.
In the family generally they bear no names;
they are known as No. | or No 2, like con-
victs, and they are no more reckoned mem
bers of the family than the cat or the dog.
So when Chinaman is asked what fam
lily he has, he counts only his boys. And a
boy is treated with great honor and cere-
mony by the women. When he is four
months old he is set for the first time in a
chair, and his mothers mother sends or
brings him many presents, notably among
which is sugar candy The candy is en-
blematc of the sweet things Of life, and 1t
Is stuck to the chair to signify the hope
that he may never lack such things. His
first birthday is the second great day Of re-
joicng. He is then set upon a table In
front of many things, such as ink, books,
tools, etc, and whichever he first lays his
hand on decides his future occupation

Elbows are as expressive OF charac-

any doubt OF this assertion let him
take heed OF the elbows TO be met
with in crowded public conyeyances.
They are expressive enough, goodness

elbow that has no more give" than a

is the round elbow that prOtrudes like

stays down, but rubs ones shoulder
and tickles ones ear, and is forever
getting in the range OF vision of com
pressed neighbOrs. 1t belongs, OF

absolutely refuses to sit on the middle
