Every true friend Of the cause Of labor must
depIore the lamentablc affair at Pittsburg on
Saturday. Nothing is more calculated to harm
workinpmen in their efforts TO secure what they
believe to be their rights than resort to assassina-
tion II bchooves labor unions all over the
country to denounce unsparingy the assault on
Mr. Frick More than that, they should frown
upon and use every cndeavor TO stamp out the
Anarchistic spirit which is responsible for that
outrage. Anarchism has no place in free America
Every body will be glad to learn that the in
juries inflicted upon Mr.. Prick by fanatic
are not serious. 1t is confidently eX-
pected that he will not be confined
to his room long and meanwhile he
will be able to continue the direction OF
affairs at Homestead. SO far as appears, the
man who committed the assault did so of his
own motion. with the crazy idea that an enemy
of labor deserved to be put out of the way.
No evidence that he had accomplices or was
acting as the agent of other men has yet come
TO light. 1t is satisfaction to see that promi-
nent members of the Central Labor Union and
other labor leaders arc condcmning this sadly
misled mans act as it deserves.

writer also introduced his hero into
the Antarctic regions in January, and
speaks Of the ''inky blacknesss" of the

FACTS ABOUT RAILROADS.

Big Figures which Repr esent tho Work
Dono by These Corporations.
To gather the statistics from tho
great corporations which operate the
American railways is not a simple work
of day or SO, but takes time. 1t is
only Just now that we know, from the
government reports, what the railway
business amounted to for the year end
ing June 80, 1890, eighteen months ago.
The mileage at that time was 1853, 697,
an increase during the year Of 5,83S
miles. says Harper's Weekly. This m
crease, it is of interest to note, was
greatest in that group Of states formed
by Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi,
Alabama, Georgia and Florida, where
were built during the year 1870 miles,
or % per cent. of the whole increase.
In the state of Georgia the increase was
439 miles, and this was more than in
any other state in the union.
These roads are owned and operated
by 1,797 companies, but about one-half
of>the mileage isoperated by forty com
panies. The gross revenue of these
roads for the year mentioned was ST.
051, s77, 632, but so per cent. of this rev.
enue was divided among seventy-fve
roads. Large roads must do cheaper
work than smaller ones, as these sew
enty-five roads carried s315 per cent. OF
the passengers and $50 per cent. of the
freight. 10 operate the railways re-
quired the services of 749, 301 men. This
was an increase of 44,55S men over the
previous year, and added an average OF
twenty men to the operating force on
every 100 miles of road in the country.
In arriving at the capitalization Of
these great properties accurate statis-
tics have been obtained on only 156, 40i
miles. Tho capitalization for this mile
age is 80, 437, 1853, 1873, or $50, 340per mile.
At the same rate the capitalization Of
all the mileage would bring the total
up to about ten thousand millions. This
is certainly great amount of money
but dividends were not paid during the
year on 63.7o per cent. of the capital
stock. The surplus from operating
these roads was So, 1888, q decrease

430, 865, an increase of 20,259, 500, anG
the average journey Of each passenger
was 24.06 miles.

DEWBERRY CULTURE

A Trailing Blackberry which Usually
Yields Satisfactory Returns.
Bulletin 81 of the Cornell University
experiment station is devoted to the
dewberry, and from it we reengrave the
Lucretia, which is considered the best
variety. Dewberries "a trailing form
of blackberry have been known for
many years, but it is only within q
short time that they have attracted
much attention. A young man after
serving in the civil war settled in West
Virginia and found dewberries growing
wild, which he removed to his garden.
In 1875 five plants from these were dis
tributed among friends, and from these
five the present cultivated stock of Lu-
cretias has sprung. 1t was named Luz
cretia for Mrs. Lucretia Garfield. The
five original plants are still vigorous
and fruitful. There are several varie-
ties of dewberries, but none are so val
liable as the Lucretia. The fruit is
early, of large size and attractive in
appearance, and it's reclining habit Of

The Turkish women's garner ara

pattern. and they wear trousers Of gay
" Powered chintz which reach to tneir
ankles, and are never Of gauze, as some
seem to believe.
Above the trousers they wear shall

up, but left to trail In the house.

No corsets are worn, but . jacket

the exception Of the doubtful protec-
tion Of the transparent crepe cbemise
and the rows of brilliantly colored
necklaces.
A shawl is folded on the bias, and
wound around the waist tightly, which
holds up the trousers and shalvar, but

This is the national house dress.
When going out, a long, shapeless
cloak with wide sleeves and wide
flap hanging down the back, and the
veil, with a brilliant-hued parasol,
complete the street attire. At night,
summer and winter, a wadded night

clothes worn during the day.
Only few families have bedsteads,
preferring to sleep on the pile Of TWEEN

Eawife has her suite of three rooms,
and sleeps there with her children and
personal servants, and no matter how
hot the night, the windows are tightly
closed.
| Once in awhile there will be des-
perate quarrel in the harem, and then
the leunuch has the authority to whip
the offenders.
Imagine fifteen or twenty women
shut up in one house-one room almost
all having an equal claim upon the
master; give them nothing useful to
do; stuff them all day long with
sweets. nuts, fruit and rich food, oblige
them TO huddle close around the little
brasier, or mangal, in winter, to keep
from freezing, with half dozen or
more broods Of children to make mis-
chief, and we have one reason why the
peace-loving Turk goes into his harem
SO seldom.
The law of the Koran allows no
woman to make sign of her exist
ence to her husband between the hours
of sunrise and sunset, SO he is at peace
to attend to his business in his own
part of the house; but 1t is pretty hard

how their hearts cbafe under this I'M
natural condition none outside can

neglect OF the orchard.

Nothing is starved and abused like
the apple tree. Forgotten. till fruit-
ing time, the land where 1t stands
is stripped of two crops Of hay and
then pastured. If the fruit is not
abundant and fair the owner denouncas
''the whole orchard business" Gust as
II he had paid it some attention), and
determines to neglect it more than ever.
He forgets to reason that anything else
so neglected would not make half the
returns he gets from the apples. In
the interest of common sense, if one
cannot devote time in summer for feed
ing and cultivating this most regal
fruit. let him at least set the men to
covering the ground with manure be-
fore the busy season begins. Farm

growth makes it valuable, as it affords
opportunity for winter protection.
1t is very fruitful The canes and
lower sides of the leaves are very
thorny, which makes picking very
unple asant, but proper pruning and
mulching largely overcome this. Trel-
Using is often resorted to, and for small
plantations can be easily adopted, but
for field culture it is not deemed advis-
able. 1t is usual to plant about four
feet apart each way andlcnltivate until
thenew canes get so long as to prevent
1t. The old canes are removed any time
after fruiting, but If trellises are used
the young canes are not tied up until
the next spring. In tho north it is well
to protect with light covering during
winter When the plants are allowed
to lie on the ground cut them back to
three or four feet long in the same
manner as blackberriessor raspberries,
leaving only four or five canes to the
plant. A mulch is often placed under
the plants to keep the berries clean
and to keep down weeds. Orange Judd

A. Hunting Incident.

While two men were riding along a
creek in California they saw, some dis
tance ahead, doe and her fawn drink
ing from the stream. The bank was
very steep and the water quite deep at
this point When the deer saw the
hunters they were startled, and, in at
tempting to turn, the little fawn lost
its balance and fell into the creek. Tho
water runs very swiftly in this creek,
and of course the fawn was carried
down stream, and the mother deer, APP
parently losing all fear of the human
spectators, ran along the bank try ing
TO reach her offspring with her mead.
Failing in this. she ran toward for
some little distance. plunged in, braced
her feet in this cxevices of the rocks
and waited Presently the fawn was
washed against her AMI instinctively
clasped her neck with its forelegs. and
the doe carefully regained the bank.
There she lay down with the baby
deer, and, although the two men were
not thirty feet away, the doe licked
and fondled the fawn until it rose to
its feet, and then the two animals trot-
ted off into the adjoining woods. ~
