METAL TIES MUST 90.

The officers of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Co. have come to the con.
clusion that the metal ties which they
have been experimenting with fol
the last 10 years are of no account,
and have given orders that all that
are now in use shall be taken up and
the old style of wooden ones substi-
tuted.
About Is years ago the company
commenced to make experiments
with metal ties. From that time to
the present they have been placed at
a half dozen different places on the
line of the company, and they have
utterly failed in all the important
points in comparison with the wood
en- ties. The officers found that it
was utterly impossible to keep these
metal ties in line, especially in places
where there was a curve. These ties,
while not answering the purpose of
the wooden ones, were also more ex-
pensive and did not afford the same
comfort or elasticity as that given by
the wooden ones.- Pittsburg Dis

RICH AND Poor.

Il is all very well for man sitting
in his business chair, smoking his
havana and slipping his wine, to look
complacently on the affairs of his
fellows battling for existence. With
fat and increasing bank account,
and all the channels of wealth open
to INN, it is very easy to look upon
the struggling brotherhood of labor,
with shrug of the shoulder and a
Joy of being free from the pang of
earning "daily bread" The sweat
may pour down in streams from the
laborer's brow, and the laborer's wife
may slave at the wash tub, and her
children may cry for bread, but the
monopolist hears and sees it not, for
his minions fail to inform HIM and he
is away feeding and clothing his
dogs, pettlng and pampering his
horses Or donating money to erect
churches and found public libraries.
His wife can go to the opera in her
dazzling diamonds and rustling silk;
give banquets to the aristocracy of
monarchy, aliens and enemies of
republicanism, dine with them from
silver and golden ware off the lux
uries that the home and foreign mar
kets afford, while her sister--a wife
and mother-through "povorty is
separated from her neighbors," and
dimes off beefsteak (when she can
get it, or bread and cheese, or bread,
according to her husbands luck in
keeping at work, the amount he re-
ceives for his labor and her educa-
ton in domestic economy, which,
being taught by fate, is very seldom
forgotten.
Looking upon the advantage of
riches in this light, is it any wonder
that the laborer breaks out into open
rebellion? 1t is wrong; it Is very
wrong; nay, it is a crime for one set
of men to monOpolize the sources of
wealth, to use low bred schemes for
obtaining, keeping and accumulating
gold; for such men become tyrants,
and they create murder, anarchy and
civil war.
Slavery and serfdom are antago-
nistic to the American constitution
and the American mind, and if mo-
nopoly insists on enslaving labor, she
will not be enslaved without a bitter
struggle. The day is not far off
when the dilatory and negligent
senator will be compelled TO answer
for any damage done to the state.
through his inferior knowledge of
the art of government and social
science. He will be exposed as a
quack, and a physician will be called
to take his place, and then we shall
see monopoly humbled and justice
exalted, but not till then.

Does it not seem passing strange
that should young man, an entire
stranger, come to you and want to
borrow $40, the seeming small sum
would be hastily refused? But
should he request the company of
your daughter for walk, drive, or
to some entertainment, no recon-
mendatlon seems to be needed.
How differently we rate the value of
some things. What comparison of
value is there between a few paltry
dollars and daughters good name
and reputation?

About six months ago an Indian
named O.we-o, of the Umatilla reser-

railroad train. Some time previous
to his death he had borrowed $50
from bank in Pendletoh, giving his
note, secured by the note of another
Indian, She-wa-wa. O.we-o's wife,
Lucy, skinned dead sheep found on
the range during the winter and
spring and hustled hard in other

about $50. Last week she went to
the bank, paid her husbands note,
and also insisted on paying the inter

bank refused to accept the interest.

HOUSEHOLD.

Somewhat of a divergence from the usual.
but not out of the realm Of the home-maker,
are a few words that can be said for the
noble workers in the order of Associated
charities in Fort Worth. Their presence is
already felt in the city, and the members
are recognized as women who do not shrink
from duty wherever it calls them. Al
though scarcely more than in its beginning,
there has been unearthed neglect and suffer
ing that would furnish Dickens ample
material for novel Not to praise these
workers, but to stimulate them, is the pur-
pose, and to put the wiIling-minded in a
way to and in the philanthropic work.
There IS scarcely any good woman who
does not at times wish she could do some
good work. She is busy housekeeper,
and it may be with small income, yet she
need not be deferred by these from small
benevolences. The poor and the sick poor
are always with you. A bowl of cruel, car
ried by ones own hands to poor, sick
mother whose little children cannot pre-
pare it, even if the material is at hand, is
not much, but it brings comfort. While the
cooking stove is going it is little trouble or
expense to make a nutritious soup. Ends
of steaks. bones of the roast, or a shin bone
from the butchers will suffice for the good
work, and when taken to the sick poor is
such food as they cannot procure.
In every family there are worn cottons,
sheets, pillow-eases and underwear These
need not be wasted. Sent in neat bundle
the Associated Charities will find use for
them for the "sick poor who lack these
articles. Again, the good woman who
wishes to do good will not put away half
worn, outgrown garments that it is not
economy to remodel, but will collect them
and give them to humanitys agents or
bestow them herself. A very little money
and very few minutes of actual time viii
enable the worker sin His name" to confer
comfort, help and pleasure upon tbeneedy.
And the work is rendered all tsmore easy

There is Q note of warning in the terrible
tragedy at Memphis, Miss Alice Mitchell
killing her former girl friend because of
alienation Il is no uncommon thing, as
mothers and teachers will agree, for girls
at an age when their emotional nature is
awakening TO form violent attachments for
each other and to carry their loves to the
verge Of passion. This girl was wrought
to fury which is identical with that of a
Tilted lover, and took the same means to
satisfy jealousy amounting to madness.
It should 30 the care Of all guardians to
hold in check these ardent attachments, and
10 endeavor to instill into young girls
minds moderation even in friendship. While
it is rare, if not unsxamrled. that this de-
votion leads to such tragic results, inordi-
nate attachment is net conducive to mental
health. and an over-stimulation of the pas
sions in any direction is attended always

IN BRIEF.

''One flesh" is the divine declaration, and
yet, two laws is what the world has been
saying for many centuries. True men of
whatever rank rebel against dependence
and reject with scorn the idea of pater-
nalism in government that puts them in the
attitude of benefciaries, and yet these men
ask that woman be content with depend
ence which, in her case as much as in theirs,
is demoralizing. Woman is every day
growing into better realization OF her
true position, she KNOWS that nature makes
no distinction i1jG laws, she hgggers,
thirsts, needs gssss,zdd Aaiment, ana to this

Thus it is seen that it is a question of
economics, whether woman shall be self
sustaining, a pensioner on mans bounty,
or else a married slaye9
Every sober woman must be glad for any
new opening of occupations which saves
her sisters from ''eating the bread of an
other'' and alleviates for them the hard
fact of existence. In doing this there is no
need of an unsexing. The woman who
works is really less liable to this than is the
idle follower of fashionable follies A
woman gaining her own. living not only
learns to use it well, but she learns by ex-
perience, if in no other way, that in the
struggle for existence, in which men
through mistaken ideas put her at q disad-
vantage, whatever advantage her womanli-
ness gives she cannot afford to squander
in a silly attempt at masculinity.
Women are now asking their brothers for
a share IN the business of life Manly men
wiz grant them their place whenever they
show capacity and determination to fill it,
and viii stand by the side of brave and
true woman just as cheerfully and more
helpfully than if they appropriated the
leadership and fixed her, without regard to
ability, forever in the rank of subaltern,
for women must work, and nature, not so
ciety, is their base of supply from which to
draw the necessities life creates.

If it were not irreverent one might think

corners, not good for dust on bric-a-brac

that sunlight is life TO all created things,
that faded carpets and curtains sink into

If men in this period of the development
of the race would maintain the headship
they so stoutly affirm to be their inherent
right, they will be forced by coming waves
to stand well at the helm and show by their
dexterous management a right to guide
the craft. No woman of sense will dispute
q mans calm to headship so long as he has
a head, but when he claims it solely be-
cause of sex, then is she justified in ques-

not in the nature of things that women
lower the standard for themselves, and
what man must do is to keep in advance.
