Cleaning a Marble Statue.

Commodore Perry's marble statue in
Cleveland, having acquired such c heavy
coating of smoke and SCOT as to render it
unsightly, was recently scrubbed, but
with the effect of making it look worse
than ever. The black came off the ''high
lights, and the smudge is deepened in
the shadows. And, though the brave old
sailor never did mean thing in his life,
they now talk of giving him a coat of
whitewash. Cincinnati Times-Star.

Lambley went on an ordinary machine

wheels that are broken instead of the
records. Our roads are so bad that
heavier wheels are required here than

The British Tabor Parliament.

In one way deliberative bodies and
councils have quite as much power az
Legislative assemblies and that is in the
line of forming the public opinion which
the legislative organization forlnulates
when it makes the laws The proceed
ings of the British labor parliament
have, therefore, a living interest for all
The important measures recommend
ed by the parliament may be summed
up briefly First there was the recon-
mendation in favor of the international
eight hour labor law, with the signifi-
cant exception .that when Il majority Of
the worlznen in any given trade should
vote against its application in their par
ticular case, this vote should decide the
matter. Thus the various trades in the
different localities are left free to adopt
the eight hour law or let it alone
Most important after this. perhaps, is
the sentiment in favor of paying mem
bers of parliament for their services. In
Great Britain members of parliament
icCCifC nv Sdidl Inc CudlSe lutI6
could be made with justice that the leg
islative assembly of the country was a
millionaire club, as it is customary to
accuse the United States senate of be-
ing. If members Of parliament were
paid. then the workingmen could feel
free to send some of their own number
to the national legislature, They RECON-
mend, therefore, that each candidate for
parliament be required to pledge that he
will vote for such law before the work
ingmen agree to support him. The par
lament, for the same reason, was in
favor of paying members of school
boards and county councils.
The curious and habitual aversion Of
the British workingman to having state
supervision of his own and his employers
relations was also strikingly developed
at this parliament.

A Castle Built for Fonrpence.

The castle Of Monkstown, near Cork,
is reported by popular tradition to have
been built in the year 1886 at the cost of
only groat. 1t happened in this way:
Anastatia Goold, who had become the
wife OF John Archdeken, determined
while her husband was in Spain serving
in Philips army to give him evidence of
her thrift on his returning by surprising
him with noble residence which he
could call his own. Her plan was to
supply the workmen with provisions and
other articles they required. for which
she charged the ordinary price; but as
she made her purchases wholesale upon
balancing her accounts it appeared that
the retail profit had paid all the actual
expenses Of the structure except four
pence.-London Tit-Bits.

My chum's had humps n has been OUT

A straw showing which way the wind
of manifest destiny blows is to be noted
in the formation at Stony Point, in the
province of Ontario, of the Continental
Union club, whose object is to agitate
for political union between Canada and
the United States. 'sThe old Continen-
tails in their ragged reigimentals" per-
formed manly achievements something
over century ago, and perhaps the new
Continentals can do as well in the field
of peaceful agitation. A public meet
ing openly advocating political union
was also held at Stony Point. If any
Canadian royalist with the impossible
dream of imperial federation before his
brain charges that this sentiment across
the border in favor of political union is
being stirred up by the secret emissaries
from the United States, he is hereby in
formed that he is mistaken. There are
no such emissaries. We need none.
