A LiUOR STRIKE.

In the lumber region Of Wisconsin
there is in progress formidable strike.
On the 9th inst every saw mill In
Marlnette was closed down. Tho
strikers marched from one mill to MI.

braced, and 5000 men marched In

The demand OF the workmen ia 10 the
effect that all employees Of lumber
mills and yards receiving less than
$3.50 day should have their wages
increased 10 that figure. All men ro-

S,o0d Rules for the Mistress.

When engaging q servant be careful
to explain her work to her, and let her
understand that the work must be
done in your way and not in the way
of any former mistress she may have
had, and this explanation must be
made so that it shall not reflect upon
the routine of any other household.
Try and arrange the housework SO
that each servant may have an oppor-
tunity to attend church on Sunday.
When your servants do well en-
courage them to do better by few
words of praise.
Do not allow them to have visitors
until after certain hours in the even
ing.
Give your orders for the day to the
cook as early in the morning as pos
sible.
Insist upon being informed when
anything is broken or lost.
See that the chambermaid wears a
clean apron while making the beds,
and that she knocks at the bedroom
doors before entering.
Order the maid who opens the door
not to leave visitors standing in the
hall, nor to give parcels to strangers
without previous instruction.
When you reprove, do so firmly and
decidedly.
Only allow your rules to be broken
once; let dismissal, with customary
notice, follow the second offence.
Retain your temper under all circum-
stances.
Insist upon the punctuality of the
family as well as upon the punctuality
of the cook.
Be kind to your servants when they
are i'll, and thoughtful of them always;
in nine cases out of ten the considerate
mistress will be rewarded by faithful
service.
Pay your servants wages regularly.
Do not allow them to go out without
first obtaining your permission.-Ihe

FOR PEOPLE WILL TALK.


You may get through the world, but twill lie
very slow
If you listen to all that is said as you go.
You'll be worried and fretted and kept in a
stew,
For meddIesome tongues will have something
to do.
For people will talk!
If quiet and modest, you'll have it presumed
That your humble position is only assumed.
You're only a wolf in sleeps clothing, or else
you're only q fool;
But don't get excited, keep perfectly cool!
For people Will talk!
II generous and noble, they'll vent out their
spleen;
You'n hear some loud hints that you're selfish
and mean,
If upright, honest, and fair as the day,
They'll call you rogue in sly, sneaklng
way!
For people will talk!
Then if you show the least boldness OF heart,
Or a slight inclination to take your own part
They will call you an upstart, conceited and
vain;
But keep straight ahead, don't stop to ex-
plainl
For people will talk!
If threadbare your dress, old-faShioned your
hat,
Some one will surely take notice of that,
And hint rather strong you can't pay your
way;
But don't get excited, whatever they say!
For people will talk!
Now the best way is to do as you please,
For your mind-if you have one-wi1 then be
at ease;
OF course you will meet with all sorts OF abuse,
But don't think to stop them-it's not any use!
For people will talk

1.-THE Goose HOnks High"

"a mistake that is very generally
made, is the popular phrase, Every
thing is lovely and the goose hangs
high Now, this is entirely wrong. 1t
should be read, Everything is lovely
and the goose honks high This say
ing originated away up in the North
ern States, where in rainy, foggy or
stormy weather it is a well-known fact
that the geese fly low-skimming along
over the very house tops. In fine and
pleasant weather you will remember
that they fly in long strings so high in
the heavens that their peculiar cry,
'honk, honk,' can scarcely be heard
on the earth below, hence the old say
ing that everything is lovely when the
goose 'honks high and not hangs
high which is a most nonsensical per-
version of the original old New Eng
land saving. r-Ge7lE. R0Secrdns.

A Gallant War Incident.

The Charlottesville Jefersonidn gives
the following interesting sketch OF Col.
Fred Skinner, the grandfather OF Miss
Belle Greene, whom he SO promptly
and CALAMITY defended against the dis
paraging remarks alleged to have been
used in reference to her by Hon. John
S. Wise and wife, and for which an
apology was demanded and satisfac-
tory answer was Obtained
''Col. Fred. Skinner is a.Virginian,
having been born in Rappahannock
county in 1913 or 1914. When in 1924
the Marquis De Lafayette came to this
country, young Skinner attracted his
favorable notice. When he returned
to France the Virginia lad accompani-
ed him and was educated with the
grandchildren of the great Frenchman
He was appointed a member of the
United States legation in France. In
1884, when the Marquis died, Skinner,
who was at the time in the United
States, was chosen by our government
as it's representative at the funeral and
he attended the obsequies.
He was living on his farm in Kappa
hammock county when the war came
on He promptly rendered his sword
to the State, was commissioned a ma
ior, promoted to Lieutenant Colonel
and assigned to the First Virginia Reg
iment.
Col. Williams, commanding the First
Virginia, was wounded at the second
battle of Manassas, and Col. Skinner
was put in command. after his wife
and child,'' said a gentleman who has
L. e. II, Ii II
Fox and his French chasseurs sabre
stood highest in his affection As
horses were scarce the field officers had
reached an agreement not to go into
action mounted Col. Skinner request
ed an exception in his case, on that
dav, as he was unwell. Being ordered
to charge battery, he turned to his
regiment, gave the command, First
Virginia, follow me' put spurs to his
horse and dashed at full speed into the
battery. He killed two men with his
sword before he fell wounded by three
balls The regiment, instead OF double
-quicking, ran at full speed to save him,
if possible; reaching the battery, which
they captured, they found him on the
ground. His adjutant, the late John
N. Stockton, of this county, asked him
if he was badly hurt. He replied,
John, they have killed me, they have
shot me ali to pieces, but did you no
tice how beautifully Old Fox behaved"
He married Miss Thornton, sister
of the late Mrs. Voss who died at the
residence of her daughter, Mrs. s. V.
Southall His only living child was
married to Lieutenant Greene, of the
Confederate Navy, and is the mother
of Miss Belle Greene.
Miss Greene is well-known here. The
summers of 1890 and 1891 she spent at
The Farm. She was often seen with
the old Colonel on horseback. She is
handsome and of distinguished appear
ance, and is decidedly intellectual"

How She Became a Missionary.

'I'm doing missionary work good
deal of the time" was the reply of one
of the most charming women of New
York, to friend, who asked how she
busted herself. II see by your looks
you wonder what l mean by that. I'll
tell you. A few years ago life was a
burden to me. | had been victim to
female weakness of the most aggrava-
ted character for long time, and the
doctors failed to help me. Existence
was long, steady, terrible torture-a
lingering, living death. One day saw

vertised in the newspaper. Something
in the advertisement impressed me
favorably. | caught at the glimmer of
hope it held out as the drowning man
is said to catch at straw. Still | did
not dare to hope. But | got the medi-
cine, and behold the result / feel so
well, so strong, and O, so thankful,
that | go about telling other women
what saved me. In no other way can
| so well show my gratitude to God,
and to the man who has proved such a
benefactor of women, and my love for
my suffering sisterhood."

The First Easter Morn.

Another thing that the world and
the church have not observed in re-
gard to this resurrection, and that is,
it was the morning twilight, writes DR..
Talmage in the April LADIES' Home
Journal If the chronometer had been
invented, and Mary had had as good a
watch as some of the Marys of our
time have, she would have found it
was about half past five O'Clock, A.
M. Matthew says it was the dawn;
Mark says it was at the sunrising; Luke
says it was very early in the morning;
John says it was while it was yet dark.
In other words, it was twilight. That
was the o'clock at which Mary Mag
dalene mistook Christ for the gardener.
What does that mean? 1t means there
are shadows over the grave unified,
shadows of mystery that are lowering.
Mary stopped down and tried to look
to the other end of the crypt. She gave
hysteric cutlery; she could not see to
the other end Neither can you see to
the other end of the grave of your dead;
neither can we see to the other end of
our own grave. Obi if there were
shadows over the family plot belonging
to Joseph of Arimathea, is it strange
that there should be some shadows
over our family lot? Easter dawn, moi
Easter noon.
