Labor and Capital.

A man in 8 tub was being slowly drawn from the bottom of deep well, when the men at the top, working the windlass, suddenly stopped. "Haul me up," cried the man, Tor I'll cut the ropel" This correctly illustrates the relation between capital and labor, and it matters not which of the interests you place in the tub or at the windlass. To stop the work is to cut the rope. Work at the windlass for the capitalist in the tub will bring him to the top to pay for the labor done and to continue the work until water is reached. Stop the work or cut the rope, and capital is destroyed while labor starves. Outside of forced conditions and removed from the rant of demagogues, there is no conflict be- tween capital and labor. Neither of these commodities is worth anything until brought into contact with the other. A capitalist may sit down on a pile of gold as large as Pike's peak and starve to death, and the muscle and brain of millions of laborers are useless when unemployed. But let labor bring bread to the starving capitalist astride his pile of gold and both are profited by the transaction, each having benefited tho other by supplying want.-Mich- iHan Tradeeman.

An Earthauake at Sea


 Two distinct quakings of the earth and consequent disturbances of the sea were felt by the schooner Charles l.. Mitchell on Monday night, three miles southeast of Cape Henlopen- The Mitchell arrived at South street wharf from Cuba with a cargo of sugar, and Captain Frost told the story of his experience. His vessel was slowly beating her way up the coast under easy sail, when she fell in with the tug Mum and was taken in tow for Philadelphia. The wind at the time was light from the north east and the atmosphere hay, but clear overhead. Captain Frost had taken in all but ,Sew light sails and the vessel was heading north, with both canvas and steam, toward her port of destination.
 Suddenly two terrific reports, like explosions were heard, then a rum bling sound, as if the vessel was grinding her bottom out on a shoal. She trembled and spun about on her keel as if about to be lifted bodily out of the water by an unseen power. 1t was first thought she was fast on a rocky shore, but it was found that the observations were correct, the vessel being well off shore and in the deepest water. Those on the tug Mum thought that one of the bulk oil carriers had exploded, but the rumbling noise and the period of time through which it extended after the first explosion proved conclusive ly that the report was of different character, doubtless from earth hngs.-Philadelphia Record

A Curious Lawsuit.

The recent trial of the suit of Rhodes vs Rhodes in the Hartford County Court of Common Pleas has resulted in disagreement of the jury. Many years ago the plaintiff bought a tract of land, for fifteen dollars, on the Wethersfeld side of the Connecticut river. In the course of time, as was foreseen, the land has been slowly wash cd away and deposited on the Glaston- bury side until the secretion has amounted to sixteen acres of meadow land worth $2OO per acre. which plain tiff sought to recover. But the law of this State is that where land is added to land bordering on a river by impercep- tible accretion it belongs to the owner of the land, to which it is added. A man cannot follow his land across a river. e ..-..-. .....

The Weight of a "Grain."

The smallest measure of weight in use, the grain, has it's name from being originally the weight of grain of wheat. A statute passed in Eng land in 1866 ordained that thirty two grains of wheat, taken from the middle of the ear, or head, and well dried, should make a pennyweight, twenty of which should make an ounce, while twelve ounces were to make pound.
 The pound therefore consisted then of 7, ,680 grains. Some centuries later the pennyweight was divided into twenty-four grains, which make the troy pound, now used, 5,76O grains The pennyweight was the exact weight of the old silver penny.-St. Louis Republic.

A woman's Letter to a Congressman.

A Womans Letter to Q Congressman.
 Most congressman are overrun with letters and dispatches from people whom they never heard of, asking for documents, books, stationery, etc The sublime gall displayed by some of these citizens is truly wonderful, but think the woman who sent the following postal card deserves the cake:
 ''DEAR SIR-Being referred to you by the first assistant secretary of the interior department, saying that you would get for me all the public docu- ments which are published for distri- button and information, please send me all such documents of every de- partment and branch thereof of the United States government. Also as complete set as possible of penalty envelopes and cards and wrappers.
 "Will you kindly send me as con- plete a set of stamps as possible from every department of the United States government, and specimens of the general issues of the United States stamps7
 T would like the penalty envelopes on every color of paper on which they come, and any other curiosities |" Washington Cor. Brooklyn Eagle.

A Guilty Pair.

A week ago Wednesday night Detec- tive Simmons captured Harry W. Jen- nings and Mrs LA. French, a young mar ried woman. at Southheld, Mass. The couple had eloped from Winsted, where they reside, two days before. The off, cer had been in pursuit of the couple (tracing them by their trunks) to Sey- mour, thence to New Haven and from there to Canaan, where he learned that they had gone to Southfield, Mass.

A Possible Help for Women.


 Darning stockings, with the at tendant horrors of mending and sew ing on buttons, represents batch of work which comes regularly every week to be done, and is sore trial to the woman who longs for the time it takes that she may give it to better things. Yet she knows these tasks are necessary, and that they must be accomplished for the comfort and well being of the family in her charge.
 Now there must surely be plenty of women who cannot do finished or high class work, yet to whom mend ing and stocking alarming, clearing up of rooms and dusting would be light and agreeable work, women who, having ample time, would be willing to do such important yet trivial homework for the small sum of money the service is worth. They need not be highly educated or very young women; they need only be willing, quick and ready to do well any and every trifle which comes up for somebody to do. There are cer- tainly plenty of places waiting for just such workers.
 We hear much of the women who are starving in making shirts at three cents apiece and trousers at five cents a pair. The tales are too well authenticated to be doubted. But surely the work above suggested would be easier, pleasanter and more profitable to the women who are keeping soul and body together on such a pittance as that.-Harper's RaZar

Scraps of w Wisdom.

No man ever loved woman while he was busy.
 The hardest headed man was born with soft spot.
 No man can be hero while his liver is out of order.
 It is not always the man who looks like fool who is one.
 The itch for gold don't belong to the seven-y ear variety.
 It is hard to find fault with people who think just as we do.

How the Tomato Was Named.

Few persons know the origin of this common name. It originated in this way: The earlier experimenters with the fruit believed that it had a great effect on the spleen-that is to say, it made per sons liable to crossness good natured- gave them, so to speak, lovely disposi- tion, and for this reason the plant was known to the ancient Spaniards as the Love Apple. By the name of Love Apple it is still known in many English speak ing countries. The word tomato is de- rived from the same source, that is to say, from the original Latin word amo,
 to love, although we use it now as Spanish derivative, tomato being a, Spanish expression. -LeshAu's Nouthly. l

We had gone about half a mile when we came to a country church. On the weatherbeaten steps sat shaky, gray haired old man, with an old fashioned rifle across his knees. He motioned for us tc stop and came hobbling down to the buggy to ask:

That good article rec commends itself, and once customer always a customer This has been the history of the Chiffon Manuf. Go. Their paints have stood the test of time and proved their durability.

 -Dr Camp has bought beautiful young sorrel mare; she is of the Don Wilkes stock and not more than three years old.
 We learn with regret that Dr Camp lost valuable Jersey COW on Friday last; rybody knows that Friday is an unlucky day-even for COWS.

 Concerning the leap year party re- gently given at the town hall in New Milford the Gazette says: "The ladies gave the gentlemen pointer as to what they considered toilet requisites by placing puff and powder boxes and curl ing irons on the table in the room set apart for the gentlemen.

 Henry J. Mead showed us last Fri day copper coin, about the size of an old copper cent, which was ploughed up on his land about four years ago. On one side there is the head of a man in profile in laurel wreath, and the words "Georgius Rex" on the other side is female figure, seated, holding in one hand the sceptre and in the other small branch, and the lnscrip- ton "Brittania 1723."

 FUN AND MUSIC. The old favorite, that Comical Brown, announces an en- tertainment in town hall, Canaan, on Saturday evening, March 12. See his advertisement in this paper, which also gives his dates for towns in this vicini- ty. He advertises new attractions and specialties on this occasion. A notice of a late entertainment by Mir Brown and his present assistants is in part as follows "Mr Browns entertainment was pronounced the best that he ever gave in this place, and we doubt much if any entertainment ever given here gave such complete satisfaction to every one. Miss Bragdon is g beautiful so. prano vocalist, and the finest ballad singer that visits this region, and in her way is as much mystery as Mir Brown himself. She can change herself into a twelve-year-old girl in two minutes. Prof. Morriece's cornet solo, in which he accompanied himself with his left hand on the organ, was 8 masterly per formance. Brown has added new wrinkles to his face year by year, sings his comic songs with the same gusto and vim as in days of yore, meets his old time patrons with that peculiar smile that at the same time measures the shekels in your brooches pockets, and leaves you contented with God and man." Mir Brown advertises dates fol Salisbury, Kent and Mill River. Re usual place.

THE OLD sMITHY.
Long ago, when life was new,

Ionc ago, when life was new, In the old, delightful days, We would wander two and two Where the smithy's fitting olaxs, Backed by shadows of the night, Used to tighten up the hills, Reckon us with fingers bright
 Twas a cure for childish Ills For the door was ever wide.
 There was freedom everywhere- Near the forge and close beside The old anvil, always there Gould be found the mighty man With the sweat upon his brow. Giant of all mighty clan
 Long gone, not forgotten now. Ah, he told us fairy lore
 While he pumped his bellows grim, For we loved the mystic store
 Pent up in the smithy dim But the sturdy smith Is dead,
 And the smithy s in decay; And the ivies climb instead
 Der the bellows torn and gray. Ahi the ghosts of long ago
 Only come to spell the night, Where the smith we used to know On the anvil used to smite With betimes a lighter stroke,
 When he'd ease his tol to tell In his way fact or joke
 Which he told, oh, mel so we'll

ss The Blood is the Life, v

Runs the old saying. and everything that ever makes part of any organ of the body must reach its place therein through the blood. Therefore, if the blood is purified and kept in good con- dition by the use of Hood's Sarsaparilla, it necessarily follows that the benefit of the medicine is imparted to every organ of the body. Can anything be simpler than the method by which this excel lent medicine gives good health to all
 who will try it fairly and patiently?

"BRICK" PONRROY'S GOLDEN THOUGHTS.

If you care to get there, keep mo wing on. fast or slow, but keep in motion.
 Out of every fifty punishments of children, forty-nine are unjust and all are too severe.
 The best of all ways to serve God is to help all of our fellow men, ,and espec- ially those who are weaker than our selves.
 He who employs thieves as clerks, or drunkards as help, deserves all the wor- ry and loss that follow his lack of wis., dom.
 The man who fears that he will fail was never known to land success.
 Sit more in judgement on yourself and less on your neighbors, and you will have more friends.
 Good deeds to our fellow men and women are deposits made with God, who returns better interest than is ever paid by the banks.

A Murder in Iceland.

A murder has been committed in Iceland. A young fellow has killed his betrothed in fit of jealousy. The whole of the 70, GOO inhabitants of the island are deeply moved by the event. It Is fifty-six years since a like deed was done. We here in America, made callous by the constant recur- renee of crime, cannot realize the horror such an event inspires in the simple Icelanders, among whom crime is as rare as learning is general, who, without school boards, not sell dom understand several languages, whose richest man boasts of no more than $1 800 year, and among whom abject poverty is unknown.-Yankee Blade.
 Nothing but the knowledge of our old time Indian enables us to credit the his torical accounts of the agility and skill of the oriental. When centuries later saddles came into use there grew up two schools of riding-that of the mailed warrior, whose iron armor we'll chimed in with his tongues on the wall,n seated in his packed saddle, and that of the oriental, whose nose and knees all but touched. Why the eastern rider clings to his extremely short feathers it is hard to say, unless it be to place him the higher above his horse. and therefore make him the more imposing when be stands up in his stirrups to brandish scimiter or matchlock.
