~ EW YORK, DEC. CIT WAS SAID
EhD of Abraham Lincoln that with two
~ exceptions he had his cabinet in

ton, but if this be true, it is unusual. Mr..
Cleveland is not likely to reach a
decision upon the choice of his official
family before the middle of February, and
a good deal Of his time between the formal
notification by congress of that result will
be occupied in the consideration of various
names. Cabinet-making has been one of
the most distrRcting, exciting and yet in
teresting OF all responsibilities which fall
upon the pr~esident-elect, and next to the
result of the national election public inter-

of those who will become the presidents
advisers.
The cabinet is frequently spoken of as a
body constituting the official advisers of the
president, but this is a title of courtesy
rather than of accuracy. 1t is to be inferred
from the constitution that the president
will have such a body around him, but as a
matter of fact the majority of the cabinet
as 1t is to-day was created by congressional
legislation.
Probably the youngest cabinet officer wal
Ale xander Hamilton, and perhaps 30 far az

the greatest. He was only a little over &c

There is an inherent longing deep in
the heart of each woman Flooding
along the earth of ours to be attractive
and She thliyes on admiration and
grows plump at the rate of five pounds
a week ii a little love should dc thrown
in her way. But the great question of
how To gain this affection, this love and
admiration which each man has 1t
in his power to give, Is sometimes Of
a rather puzzling nature TO girls, es-
peclally those who have no personal
charms to attract. In conversation the
other day some charming girls were
complaining Of their lack of talent and
plain features, 1t was suggested TO
them 10 make a study of the art OF be-
Ing pleasant Girls you don't know
what an effect continued pleasanness
has upon a man. A woman who
makes the man whom she loves believe
that she knows not the meaning Of
VERY, and who always has for him
a pleasant smile and a word Of wei
come. viii find that tender thoughts Of
her are creeping down into his heart
more than the beauty whom she en-
viesyies. The only way always to be
be pleasant is TO make study Of the
art and convert it into n science and
study it as such. 4 pleasant woman
i'm the home is like IA CLEAN of Gods
brightest sunshine, Her very presence
soothes and comforts and cheers the
hearts of men.

strikes had occurred in tie UDlraf
states. OF these 304 Were ia Penn

The government report OF 1857 states
that between 1896 and 1850 Their. ~
Cured altogether 1871 strikes of In.
portance, besides vast number Of
smaller ones. From 1881 10 ISs6 IN.
elusive, there were 1902 strikes in
which 22,3U4 establishments, and ]. 3.g
2O5 men were involved. In 1856 alons
LOO strikes occurred, the loss in wages
for that year being over S2.S5S.Ig.
while the loss OF the only hfty-eighr
firms involved which made reports
amounted 10 S3,000,0O0.
Perhaps the most important strike
after lnat in Pittsburg was the one
among the employees of tie Philadel.
phia and Reading railroad, beginning
on December 20, 1857. The struggle
began over the refusal OF the company
officials to recognize the Knights Of
Labor. Nearly 1000 men struck, and
their places We're filed by the com.
pany. The glass-workers' general strike
of 1887 broke out simultaneously in
Philadelphia, Pittsburg and other
places, lasted $50 days and cost S4g5..

A reduced scale was proposed, but the

and the strike began. The 5000
strikers remained out four months and
lost $4,000 ia wages. In the follow.
ins year QS9O the Pittsburg puddlers
struck, and their strike cost consider
ably over $4,000. The Turtle Greek
minersmineTs also went out in $780,
and their strike cost S1S9OOO.
The eight-hOur question caused the
most Of the strikes in 1890. Chicago
was the center OF disturbance, and IN
city alone 10000 men struck during the
first quarter Of the year. In Boston
10000 builders, and in indianapolis
1000 mill-hands went on a strike. The
total cost OF strikes during 1890 has
not been estimated but it amounts to
several millions Of dollars.

II is to Dispiace the Steam Engine and
Recolutio, sc Cookitg.
Since in obtaining power from fuel
by means of steam engines, upwards
Of ninety per cent. is wasted In unused
heat, While the power obtainable for
use represents scarcely more than ten
per cent. of the real value of the fuel,
under the very best conditions the
question arises whether there may not
be discoyerable a plan whereby much
larger percentage of the real value Of
the fuel may be turned to account as
electricity, and through the latter as
heat, light or power, says Professor
Elihu Thompson. the eminent elcctri-
cal inventor and expert in the July
New England Magazine.
This question has at present no an.
swer, The subject has been alive in
the minds of our most able engineers
and inventors for years, and some
have striyen hard to find a solution to
the problem. Records of scientific dis.
coyery have been earnestly ransacked

guiding post to point the way for the
uncertain explorer. 1t now appears
that we may be compelled 10 await
some new discovery, some new adapta-
ton, or some new generalization be
fore the way to the much desired
solution may be found. The effect on
the general industrial and economic
development in electricity which would
follow the discovery of some not too
complex means for realizing an econ
omy of even 40 or 80 per cent of the
energy value of fuel is indeed almost
incalculable. Then truly would cleo
triCity become the almost universal
agent in the production as well as the
transmission of power. The steam en-
CINE would 20 out of use almost en-
tirely. We should burn our coal, not
under steam boilers; it would be con-
sumed in electric generators, and their
pTopellors should be turned by ggan-
tic electric moters, connected with the
generators. The speed would be In
creased so as to still further shorten
the time of an ocean voyage. Inc
uses Of electricity as a heating agent
would be vastly extended, and 1t goes
without saying that Our lighting would
be accomplished nc much less cost.
