The strikers at Homestead did one of
the worst possible things for their cause
when they treated the newspaper re-
porters roughly, harassed and an
noyed them in pursuit of legitimate
business and finally drove some of
them out of Homestead. Reliable
authorities even declare that while
they were present at the scene of the
trouble the correspondents could not
tell the whole truth about the situation
for fear Of personal violence. If SO this
is shameful. A statement that all is fair
and square while representatives of the
press are not allowed right of way to
come and go through the Carnegie works
at will is a statement that will not
hold water. If strikers are fair and
square in their doings they will be glad
to have the truth told about them. If
they are not willing that the whole
truth should be told about them, then
their doings are not right, and public
sympathy will be ON the side of those
whom they murdered, and of those whose
property they took possession of. Mob
rule cannot boss the press of this coun-

At Jamesburg, N. j., died, not long
since, Harrison W. Crosby, aged seven
ty-eight. Few persons knew Mr.. Cros-
by, even by name, yet he ought to be
more famous than Napoleon Bonaparte,
for he was benefactor of the whole
human race. A discovery of his while
he was steward of Lafayette college, in
1S47, added fully 100 per cent. to the
quality and variety of human food, and
made it possible for ship captains to
fight off scurvy. By means of his idea,
Lieutenant Peary, in the awful arctic
night, was able, if still alive, to have a
Christmas dinner approaching in variety
and palatableness those in civilized
lands, In brief, Harrison Crosby in
vented the process for sealing tomatoes
and other vegetables in tin cans, so they
would come out fresh and in prime con-
dition. To appreciate what this dis
covery means, it is only necessary to
think of the vast establishments for can
ming meats and vegetables, and of the
great condensed milk industry, all made
possible through the happy idea'of the
tin tomato can, saying nothing of the
goat and tin plate industry.

Don't Talk Personalities.

If you are in the company of cult
waited, intellectual person and cannot
talk Of anything but mere personalities,
go and drum on the window with your
fingers, twirl your thumbs, or excuse
yourself and get away, but keep your
mouth shut Don't under any consid-
Grafton give it away that you are shall
low, ignorant fool. For if you under
take to talk with this person about how
late such an individual sits up at night,
how nearly of an age the Jobson babies
are, how Susan Jones sleeps ON folding
bed in the parlor, how Miss Snifkin
dyes her hair, how Bodkin and his wife
quarrel, how many meals day you eat
and what you like, how Tom Smiths
pug dog killed Wash Browns cat, how
they do say that Widower Hodge is go
ing to marry the schoolmistress and his
wife not dead year yet-if you under
take to pour out this unspeakable rub
bish on the cultivated, intellectual per-
son, he will vote you the most frightful
bore he ever met in his life, as well as
the most i'll bred bore. He will get
away from you as he would from beg
ging book agent and never come near
you again.
If you cannot talk of poetry, of litera-
ture, of music or art; if you know moth
ing at all of the mighty social, economic
and political questions with which our
generation wrestles, or of the wonderful
scientific and psychological discoveries
of the time, or of anything else than
the age of Sally Jones' first child. go
and learn something of them. Or if you
can't do that, go and drown yourself.

Camping Out.

Try it during your brief vacation, If
you are a dweller in the town, spending
your life within four walls, destroying
all the real life in you by the effort to
keep it. Take few Of your dearest and
best friends with you-people who will
not want to stay dressed up or expect
you to. Go into the heart Of the woods
by the shore of a stream, or by the sea-
shore, where the eternal murmur of the
breakers lulls you to sweet rest. Get a
strong water proof tent and good oil
stove. Take with you supply of corn
meal to make fritters for open air eat
ing. A wagon will convey you and
your outfit to the camping ground.
Have your tent near farmhouse,
where milk, eggs and fruit are obtain
able. Get occasionally duck or chick
en- TO add to your feasts. Catch fish in
the stream or in the sea. Then fol-
low out your fad-botanizing, geolo-
giving, bicycle riding, walking, fishing
or swimming. If you care to do moth
ing but lie upon your back and dream,
that will bring strength to your stunted,
impoverished body. We were meant to
live outdoors, and you will thus be re-
covering part of your birthright. Elec-
tricity and life flow into man from the
earth and trees, never from walls and
dens that man makes.
Shun resorts where people are herded
together like animals. Shun fuss, fash
ion and crowds and camp out and live
simply. So shall you gain in health and
strength and save your money besides.
The camper gets more health and fun
from one dollar than the dweller at the
fashionable summer resort gets from
five dollars.

Co-operative summer Homes.

The question of how people of moder-
ate means can have very jolly sum-
mer in the country has been solved in a
happy way in Rockland county, N. Y,
and in some other places.
The solution can be utilized by thou
sands of families all over this country,
and summer can be enjoyed that is
far pleasanter for mothers and children
than that usually spent at the fashiona-
BILE summer resort.
Briefly the plan is as follows: Within
a distance of twenty to thirty miles of
New York there are still farms that can
be bought cheap, some of them in fact
being at the point of dilapitation and
abandonment. A number of country
home club seekers purchase one of these
old farms of, say, fifty acres. Possession
must be gained early in the spring. The
club pays perhaps half the money down,
with notes and mortgages for the rest.
The members put their means together,
cooperative fashion, for this purpose.
Then the wide, ancient farmhouse is
overhauled and cut up into sleeping
rooms and otherwise remodeled and
added to so that it will hold twenty-five
to fifty people. A roomy piazza, such
as adorns seaside hotels, is run all
around.
The barn is likewise remodeled to hold
horses enough to do the teamwork and
to furnish driving animals for the resi-
dents at the old farmhouse. A farmer
and his family-two families, if the club
requires it-are engaged early in the
spring to perform the farm and house
work. All the vegetables, fruit, poultry,
eggs, milk, ETC., wanted for the table
are produced ON the farm itself. Grain
raising is not gone into to any extent.
The club Of families takes possession
of its quarters in early summer. So
systematized has the matter Of expense
become. so available have the farm
products been made, that a family of
four persons can live excellently well in
this way at cost of fifteen dollars
week. This is cheaper than they can
live at home in New York city. The
plan has become so popular that the
members stay later and later each year.
Many of them make their permanent
homes here, living in boarding houses
in the city during three or four months
in winter and returning to the club
family home in the spring. They would
live in the country the year around if
there were decent roads, which ought to
be an argument with the rural popula-
ton to improve public highways. The
men in these happy families go to the
city daily to business. The country
clubhouse plan has been so successful
that a writer in the New York Sun
says it has brought up the price of farm
lands in Rockland county.

The Canadian canal tolls which have
been so much complained of by United
States citizens as discrimination
against this country are still regarded
by the president as a violation of our
treaty rights with Great Britain. This
position he holds to solidly. We have a
treaty with great Britain emitting us TO
commercial rights with that country on
the most favored nation basis. There
fore when British colony discriminates
against us in any commercial matter it
is violation Of our treaty rights and a
subject for discipline at the hands of the
mother country. This is the ground
taken by the United States state depart
ment in the affair of the Canadian canal
tolls.

That is very funny tangle the authors
Of the Chinese exclusion law got into III
the hurry in which it was passed. On
provision of this law is that the identity
of a permanent Chinese resident in the
country must be established by the ties
timony of reliable white witness. This
meant in the intention of the trainers Of
the law, apparently, merely to exclude
Chinese testimony in the matter. But
the word "white" makes the law ex-
clude the testimony of a negro; if it
is to be construed literally, also of an
Indian. The colored people of the Union
have not been long in catching hold of
this slip and calling the presidents at
tention to it, The law had to be signed
in a hurry, in view of the expiration of
the former Chinese exclusion law in
May, and there was no time to return
the bill to congress to have the matter
rectified. The president says he observed
the queer wording of the act and con-
ferred with the attorney general to see
if it would exclude the testimony of
black witnesses. The attorney general
replied that in view of the amendments
to the constitution, civil rights law, etc.,
it certainly could not; therefore the
president signed it. That is to say, in
the Interpretation of the Chinese act.
black is the same as white and white is
the same as black. But it's queer COM
ment on the intelligence and foresight
of congressional lawmakers. By the
way, what would have been a good
wording of the intention of the law?

A PAPoosg BURIAL.
Tho Indian Mothers Wild Lullaby Over
ucr Dead Child.

Tho Indian Mothers Wild Lullaby Over.
Hcr Dead Child.
Ono who roamed the northwestern
territory years ago, says the Helena
(Mont) Journal, relates the following
pathetic story of the burial of u papooss,
near Seattle, which he happened upon
by hearing the mothers lament:
Creeping nearer" he said, ct saw two
squaws in the door of II tcpee, covering
over the cmbers of IL dying fire. Both
were wailing, keeping the wake for the
dead, and one held clasped to her breast
n little stifliy bound bundle. Starting
III low gurgling sound, their wall rose
louder and louder on the still night air,
until at last it eliminated in a pro-
longed Shrek. 1t came and went, and
came ana went again, that lament for
the dead over the little body, incased in
Its Stiff wrappings, that had been all
the world to her. Tomorrow would see
1T pass from her sight forever; tonight
1t was Graded in her arms After n lit
Tie the passionate lamentations sub
sided, and by and by the mother began
to Groom to herself lullaby used by
the women of the Flatheads for hun
drcds of years. Roughly translated it
runs thus:
Swing, swing little one, lullaby:
Thou'rt not alone to weep;
Mother cares for you-shc Is nigh,
Sleep, my little one, Sleep
Gently gently, wee one, swing;
Gently gently while sing
E-wc-wa-wa. lullaby
I'm all my life | have never heard
anything so hcartrcnding. Silently
stole away and left the mother rocking
her dead baby in her arms. Next morn
ing when resumed my journey came
upon the two squaws, who were arrang-
ing the grass for the dead baby. Bend
ing over the tightly swathcd bundle
they kissed it again and again; then,
sobbing, began to throw in clods of
earth until the grave was filled; then.
leaving meat and berries for the chlld's
nourishment, they kissed the ground
and slowly turned their steps toward
the darkencd tepcc, never again to hear
the patter of the little, restless feet,
the baby voice, or feel the clasp of the
tiny hand. The baby tongue was stillcd
forever, and in that Indian mothers
heart was an unutterablc longing, a
grief that could never be healed. The
Indians always bury with their children
the little playthings they have loved in
life Among the Flatheads especially
the toys and small belongings of the
children are sure to be placed under the
little tent which is placed over each
dead body.

a Hole in the Wedding Gown.

At Bautzcn, in SaXony, Germany, a
bridal procession was starting to 20 to
church when the dress of the bride
caught to the knob of the door, which
made big rent in it. 1t was quickly
mcnded, but the heart of the bride pal
pitated at the evil omen Passing
through the door of the church the
dress again caught on hook and a hole
larger than the first was made. That
was too much of n bad portent for the
bride. She turned about abruptly and
would not be held back. Neither her
family nor the bridegroom was able to
make an impression on her. She would
not run into life OF bad luck with her
eyes opened. The bereavcd groom had
10 ooll for another mate.

Refreshments sine qua non in the

and devoid of much action. They have to

cents for an orchestra scat. Should
they remain in their seats after the first

the price for the succeeding net, so that
in case of Il bad performance they need
