Labor Day.

The first day Of May in each
year is day set apart by organized
labor throughout the world for a
demonstration BY the different
societies in behalf of the wage
workers. On that day a general
demand for increase of wages,
shortening hours OF labor, etc., are
also made. The demand made
last year for an eight-hour work
day, which was not gained only in
q few instances, Was made again
this year, and arguments in sup
port Of it we're advanced from
every labor platform. The usual
number Of strikes have followed As
. consequence. Ten thousand
miners in Iowa have quit work.
Five thousand artisans in St. Louis
are out; 1000 cigar makers in Chi
cago; tho mines Of Indiana and the
carpsntenof Pittsburg are all out.
The Observance Of tho day in the
United States this year was not
attended by any riots. In several
Of the European countries the

The latest reliable statistics on
the subject state that in 1S47
there was but one man in this
country reputed to be worth S.
100000. The wealth of his lineal
descendants is estimated at $780,
00O,0 900. or $5O,O0O,OOO each. In
1865 the wealthiest railroad mana
ger was worth not more than $780,
100000. His heir died recently
leaving an estate Of 5000, OOO, 900,
and there are now several gentle
men living worth $10O,000,0OO. In
1867, in the New York constitution
al convention, a prominent dele
gate stated that he could name
thirty men in New York whose
wealth averaged *15,00O,00O. At
the lowest possible reasonable esti-
mate there are now in the United
States $50 persons whose wealth
averages over $2O,OOO,OOO each.
The total national wealth held as

The Nebraska Supreme court
has rendeled a decision in the
Boyd-Thayer quo warranto case,
ousting Boyd (democrat), who at
present holds the Office, and declar-
ing Thayer, his republican pred
ecessor, the legal governor of Ne
braska. The opinion recites the
fact that Boyd was legally elected
governor Of Nebraska, but is dis
qualified on the ground of nom
citizenship. Boyd's ineligibi]ity
consists in the fact that his father,
who was q native of Ireland, failed
to ever perfect his citizenship in
this country, and thus Boyd is not
an American citizen.

To cIreumvent Moths.

This is the season when our innocent
looking little enemies, the moths, do
their destructive work-at least this Is
the beginning. The small, cream col
ored moths flying around should be de-
stroyed. They do the mischief, deposit
ing numbers of eggs in woolen and fur
garments, carpets, curtains, upholstered
urniture-nothing escapes them, and
before we know the danger frequently
our most cherished garment is riddled
by these little pests.
The great trouble comes from not put
ting things away clean and free from the
moth eggs. Articles slightly soiled are
certain to attract moths. 1t is therefore
well to wash everything that can be
washed, like hannels and stockings.
Coats, cloaks, futs and similar things
should be cleaned and beaten and aired
several times before finally putting away
for the summer When carpets are kept
down during the summer, tar paper
should be laid under the edges and the
room swept carefully with a stiff broom
once in while, particularly the edges
of the carpet, corners and seams.-Chi-
cago News.

A Cause of Depression.

There is another and equally important
cause of mental depression and physical
disorganization as is that of overeatlng,
and lack of sufficient exercise. This is
the constant application to occupation
which is in vogue in this country. Men
and women alike, since women are for
midable competitors of men in profes-
sional pursuits, have practice of going
on in the same treadmin manner, year
after year, without any lapse for rest.
We live in this country at too high a
pressure, in a business sense. Men en-
gage of course in business, more actively
and in greater numbers than women, yet
being brought into SO close contact with
the former, women naturally absorb
not only personal interest, but are often
plunged into its vortex, and become as
bound up by its demands as the men
themselves.
1t is not unusual, in fact, for women
to assume and carry out the management
of the counting room, Office and store as
well as the household. The strain of
these demands upon the system is nat
urally very great under the most favor
able conditions, when the body is nur-
tured and rested in reasonable manner.

Numerals That Inform.

Perhaps the most ingenious use of
numbers to convey information is due to
Mr.. Melvil Dewey, state librarian of
New York. He has divided literature
into ten great departments and given
each of them one of the ten numerals.
History, for instance, is represented by
nine, and every historical work has nine
for the first figure in it's number.
The second figure denotes the subdi-
vision of history to which a work be-
longs; seven as a second figure is marked
upon volumes treating of North Amer
ica. Another and similar step gives three
as a third figure for histories of the
United States.
The works of Mr.. George Bancroft, as
Mr.. Dewey would classify them, would
bear the numerals 973. After that num-
Der would come the figures pointing out
the shelf on which the volumes were to
be found. To avoid disarrangement, it
is usual in large libraries to leave ample
room for new additions in each depart
ment; the shelves are not permitted to
become quite full.-Youth's Companion.

Men Who Eat Pie.

A truly charming gentleman is Mr..
Edmund Russell, apostle and expounder
of the Delsartean faith. We take back
all the uncivil and cruel things we have
uttered against old Delsarte and his
creed, for we have seen Mr.. Russell eat
pumpkin pie at Rector's restaurant late
of nights. In the whole wide range of
philosophy there is none other that ap-
peals more directly or more potently to
our sympathies than does that philos-
ophy which justifes by practice the eat
ing of pumpkin pie.
Mr.. Whittier, the Amesbury poet. is
as famous a punisher of pie as Ralph
Waldo Emerson was, and that is saying
much, for Emerson was mighty in the
pursuit, comprehension, mastication,
digestion and assimilation of that cheer
ing Wand. Apple pie, however, and not
pumpkin, was Emersons favorite diet,
and is Whittier's.-Eugene Field in

Iutelljeenee in Mice,

The organs of hearing and smelling in
mice are very efficient; but their eye
sight is, we believe, poor. Their intel
igence is, we should think, low, as
might be expected from the paucity of
convolutions in their brains. We sus-
pended tin of -four at such height
from the ground that our little friends
could not quite jump into it, though the
smell of the food made them very per-
severing in their endeavors to do so.
We then arranged a string so that by
detour they could get at the good stuff
that way.
One mouse by following that course
attained to the desired goal, but evident
ly by chance, for being startled out of
the tin, it continued for a long while to
make futile efforts to recover its lost po-
sition by jumping up, never again seek
ing the road which had led it before to
the object of its desire. For hours we
have lain in bed watching mice trying
in vain to spring into the tin of -four,
none of them ever perceiving that there
was a feasible road leading thereto

A hurrying crowd was pushing its
way down the broad steps of the ele-
waited platform at the city hall elevated
station Wednesday afternoon. a hand
somely dressed woman, accompanied by
a tall man of the sporting class, moved
leisurely along, trailing foot and half
of her skirts behind her. A big, clumsy
boy in his eagerness to reach the street
planted a heavy foot on the trailing
skirt, almost throwing the woman over
backward. Naturally she was very an
CRY and speedily found some very harsh
words to bestow on the boy. Her male
companion was angry, too, and at the
foot of the stairs he collared the lad and
raised his cane to administered chastise-
ment. But the blow did not fall. A
burly workingman caught the arm to
which the cane was attached and half a
dozen determined voices exclaimed,
Don't hit that boy!"
The tall sporting man braced himself
for fight, when a mild looking young
gentleman looked him fxedly in the eye
and said: "See here, my friend, you had
better calm down right away. You have
got the unpopular end of this dispute.

Blood Oranges Cannot Be Stained.

"Blood oranges" have been investigat-
ed by order of the health officer of Wash
ington. The story that they are ''fixed"
with syringe and a little aniline dye
has been going the rounds of the news
papers. 1t was seen by DR.. Townsend,
and as the supply Of "blood oranges" in
the Washington market seemed to be
abundant, he directed an inquiry with a
view of condemning the fruit if it had
been tampered with. The chemist to
whom the matter was referred says in
his report: "The oranges are naturally
stained, no artificial coloring of any kind
having been used. The small spot ON
the side is fungus spot and not a punct-
ure. 1t is impossible to stain an orange
by injecting any artificial staining fluid
into the fruit either before or after
plucking from the tree. Washington

Pronouncinr Modern Greek.

AS many may know the pronunciation
of the modern Greek language is by ac-
cent, and not by quantity, as in England
and America has been the custom with
ancient Greek ever since the time of
Erasmus, the Dutch precursor of Martin
Luther. Of late years the American
schools have been pronouncing more and
more by accent, and the custom has even
invaded England and Germany. Now
it seems that the German scholars in
Athens, noticing the interest taken by
the young emperor in matters of educa-
ton, have petitioned him to make the
pronunciation in German schools con-
form to the usage of the modern Greeks.
Were this done it would be much easier
for German in Greece to understand
the spoken language. which he can read
easily in the newspapers, but cannot
comprehend when he hears it at his ho-
tel.-Boston Advertiser.
