"Castoria is an excellent medicine for chill

rood effect upon their children"

"Castorfa Is the best remedy for children Of
which am acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant chen mothers will consider the real
interest Of their children, and use Castoria in
stead of the various quack nostrums which are
destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,
morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtfm
agents down their throats, thereby sending
them to premature graves"

In relation to the question of TO- stonsihility. according to the French criminal law. there does not appear to be any age at which child IS ao- solutely exempt from punishment If an offense be committed under tha ap,p of sixteen. and 1t be found ta have been committed without dis eernrnent.r the offender is to be ac- quilted, but. according to circunf stances, he is to be returned to his relatives or placed in house of cor. rection, to be brought up there and detained for any number of years not exceeding his twentieth By the criminal code of the German empire a person cannot be criminally prose cuted for any offense committed be fore he has completed his twelfth year.
 In his History of the Criminal Law of England" Sir James Stephen expresses himself as follows: By English law children under seven are absolutely exempt from punishment, and from seven to fourteen there IS a presumption that they are not pos sessed of the degree of knowledge es- sential to criminality. though this presumption may be rebutted by proof to the contrary. Like most other presumptions of law, this rule is practically imperative, or at aH events operates seldom and capri ciously. :.
 My own opinion is that the age of complete responsibility should De raised, say, to twelve except in the case of few specially atrocous crimes), and that it should be sue. ceeded by complete responsibility
 This definite expression of opinion by an authority of such eminence and experience must carry great weight. Lancet.

unntins Hare-.

There do not seem to be as many hares now as there used to be when I was a boy. Then the "old fields and branch bottoms used to be full of them. They were peculiarly our came: mean we used to consider that they belonged to us boys They were rather scorned by the gentle men" by which was meant the grown up gentlemen, who shot par tridges over the pointers, and only picked up a hare when she got m their way. and the negroes used to catch them in traps or gum. which were traps made of hollow gum tree logs; but we boys were the hare hunters. They were our property from childhood; just as much. we considered. as Bruno aud Don, the beautiful crack pointers. with their brown eyes and satiny ears and coats. were the gentlemens.
 The negroes used to set traps all the fall and winter and we, with the natural tendency of boys to initiate whatever is wild and primitive, used to set traps also To tell the truth. however. the hares appeared to have a way of going into the negroes traps rather than into ours. and the former caught many to our one.-Thomas Nelson Page in St Nicholas.

wha. Birds Think of Men.

Possibly. now that Professor Gar nier has directed serious attention to discovering the structure of monkey talk. we may before long have some naturalist translating bird words into English. 1t is certainly humiliating to find ourselves. after centuries of intercourse with feathered songsters, still such aliens to each other. What an average bird thinks of an average man 1t is difficult even to conceive.
 To the mind of a grouse, man is a giant with an iron stick that shoots out death. To a caged canary he must appear an amiable lunatic, whose only idea of language is to say: Twee, tweel" but who, if in a pleasant humor. may perhaps offer bit of grounsel or a lump of sugar.
 We prefer not to consider what opinion a wild lark who has been snared on it's own hillside forms of it's captor, who shuts it up in cage about nine inches square and keeps it in stutfy, gaslighted shop.-Lon, don Telegraph.

wa,k,,r a. a Care for Insomnia.


 Ido not believe that any one, not down sick. needs to suffer from sleep lessness who will walk prudently, regularly and sufficiently. ! have found 1t a sovereign cure. The only trouble is that walking makes me sleep too long and too soundly. A good many years ago, some hours after the close of a day on which l had done an extra amount of tramp ing, 1 arrived at my destination and speedily sought my couch l did not wake until the morning sun was shining brightly. and then 1t was to discover that was in the midst of the utmost confusion. The windows bad been driven in, and broken glass and twigs were scattered all about my room.
 There had been a fearful storm in the night, a portion of the roof over me had been carried away. trees had been uprooted, chimneys overturned. and everybody had deserted the house except myself, and I had been as totally forgotten as l was obliv ious. Belford's Magazine.

SpitierH' Silk.

Look carefully under the abdomen near the tip of a spider and you will zee six little nipples. Under these nipples, inside her body. there are special glands in which a kind of gum is secreted. and this dries when it comes into the air. This gum forms a silken thread, from which the spi- der builds her web. The nipples, which are called "spinnerets, have not merely one opening, but are pierced with at least a hundred holes, and when the spider begins her web more than 500 separate strands go to make up a single thread.

THEIR STRIKE is ENDED.

The Union Bricklayers Claim That They
Have Won Their Demands: and Are
Now Willing to Drop the struggle-The
Good Standing of tho Organization.
The bricklayers' strike is thing of the
past. Last night Union No. 2 held meet
ing and decided that as it had accomplished
what it struck for in May, 1891, it would be
useless to continue the strike longer.
'Tn May, 1884," said Secretary Speed,
''our union went out on the refusal Of the
bosses to pay us 81 so day. We then had
s33 men. Now we have 500 men in good
standing, while 200 more are working in
other cities and are still members
of our association. All of our
men are now working, with the
exception of few old fellows, who
cannot command the wages. Wehave come
out of the fight victorious. Every one of
our men is getting $4 so day. Some of
the exchange men are paying it. This end
ing of the strike will relieve the material,
men and boss bricklayers in the exchange
from all obligations to that body. They
can now pay the standard price.
'The union is very thankful to the bosses
who stood by us in the strike, paying us our
demands. To them We give great credit for
our victory.
'The ending of our difficulties will make
considerable difference in the building boom
of the two cities. I know of a
number of structures that will be COM
menced now by exchange men, who were
afraid to make the venture while affairs
were yet unsettled"

HOW THE MEN ARE ARMED.
General Snowden Estimates the Locked
Out Men Have 1000 Stand of Arms
Anxious to Get Rid of the Pinkerton
GnrS-A Rrnh

General Snowden Estimates the Locked
Out Men Have 1000 Stand of Arms
Anxious to Get Rid of the Pinkerton
Guns-A Strange Problem.
General Snowden and :he headquarters
staff have been making a quiet investiga-
tion into the actual armament of the
strikers. It is believed that there are in
IIvmestasi about 1000 stand of arms of all
sorts, including shotguns, old army mus
kets, sporting rifles and Winchesters, which
belong to the men, and which cannot, save
in the case of actual hostilities, be taken
away from them.
Besides these are the captured Pinkerton
guns and great many revolyers of all pat
terms Ammunition is much more scarce, it
is believed than weapons. There is a diff.
ference in caliber between the Pinkerton
guns and the others which makes many of
the cartridges unavailable. An amazing
fact is that much of the ammunition is mani
festly the property of the United States
Government. The boxes of cartridges bear
the label of the Frankford Arsenal
and nobody seems to be able
to explain whether these are
part of the Pinkerton equipment or whether
they were differently acquired. The Frank
ford cartridges are all 80 caliber. Much
speculation is INDUCED in bv the people on
both sides of Eighth avenue as to how the
work of disarmament will be accomplished.
Nothing but house to house visitation and
search can recover the guns, and how that
can be done in America is a question that
no one proposes a solution for.
The Advisory Committee is anxious to
get rid of the weapons, but there seems to
be some doubt about the legal aspect of the
case, and it is said they are now waiting for
counsels' opinion. At the time of the sur
render one of the conditions granted the de-
tectives was that the arms would be re-
turned to Mr.. Pinkerton when opportunity
occurred The Winchesters are now scat
tered all up and down the Monongahela, as
the crowd made away with everything when
it gained access to the barges and carried off
everything i. chose. Besides that there
seems to be some doubt as to the legal re-
sponsibility which would be incurred by
any person turning over some of the guns
who could not account for all that the |
Pinker:ons lost in the melee, and the men |
will, under advice, proceed very cautiously |
in the work of restoration.
A tact not generally known Is that there |
are a large number of Winchesters still in !
the Carnegie mills, supposed to be also the |
property of the Pinkertons These guns, |
about 200 in number,'the strikers believe to |
be stored in the carpenter shop in boxes |
and the men were with difficulty restrained |
by their leaders from making a search for |
them before the militia arrived If they |
were there on Sunday they have been moved |
since, as the carpenter shopi to-day bare of |
in the shape of weapons

PREPARING TO START.

Fires Have Been Lighted in the Armor
Pate MilI-stories of More Non-Union
Men--The Guards Turn Back q
Mob.
Steam is up in at least one of the Car
negie mills, and there was story on the
streets last night that so non. union men had
been smuggled into the works, and were
making ready to begin work. As matter
of course the story has created great deal
OF excitement among the strikers, and is
the one topic of discussion in Homestead.
Just how much truth is in this report it is
difficult to say. This much is certain.
Clouds of steam have been pouring out OF
the stacks of the armor plate finishing shops
and the press shops. There are also signs
of activity in the immediate neighborhood
of the electric light shop.
The strikers lounging about the town
caught their first glimpse of the steam
issuing from the stacks about 10 o'clock in
the morning. A crowd of them quickly
gathered at the railway station at City
Farm station, and for time it looked as
though there would be trouble. The min
iature mob said all manner of unkind things
about Carnegie and Frick, and attempted to
cross the tracks and enter the works, but
company of the Eighth regiment was on
guard at this point. Captain Hutchison
ordered the troops to line up, company
'front.'" and prepare to charge. Then in
stern voice he addressed the leader of the
crowd: Gentlemen" he said, II should
advise you to retire across the tracks and
disperse at once. If you don't shall order
my men to charge on you, and some Of you
will probably be hurt"
One glance at the line of cleaning bayo-
nets and the determined faces behind them
satisfied the crowd that discretion was the
better part of Yalor, and they quickly scat
tered.
To observant outsiders this grim episode
was proof positive that General Snowden
has determined to stand no nonsense from
the strikers, and to make an example of the
men engaged in the first outbreak. Ats
o'clock in the evening triple guard was
placed around the camp and works, and the
Provost Marshal, Colonel Green, issued Or
ders to the pickets to allow no one to pass
the lines

BROWN INDICATED.

The Allegheny Auditors Say the Controllers
Accounts We're Regular but Carelessly
Kept-The Report Was Not Submitted
Because There Was No Quorum.
The Allegheny Auditing Committee was
called to meet last night but failed to secure
a quorum. Had the committee met re-
port would have been submitted by Auditor
Bigger relative to the examination of the
books of the Controllers office. This ex-
animation has been completed, and has re-
suited, according to the statement of Mr..
Bigger, in thorough vindication of Con-
troiler Brown.
Mr. Bigger stated that in the entire ex-
animation only a few mistakes had been
noticed, and they were not important. A
few details. he said, should have appeared
on the books, but their omission did not in
dictate any attempt or purpose of dis
honesty. Mr.. Bigger refused to give his
report in full before it was acted upon by
the Auditing Committee.
Mr.. McKirdy said he had prepared re-
port on the same matter, but had concluded
not to submit it to the committee, as he was
appointed only as an assistant to Mr.. Big
ger. He said his report differed in detail
from Mr.. Bigger's, but from the investiga-
tion he could not say there had been anv.
thing intentionally irregular in the office of
the Controller There were, he said, evil
dences of carelessness in the auditing of the
books.
The auditors are at present engaged on
the books of the Treasurer there, and it will
require two months to finish.
