 Great Rejoicing Throughout the Valley s Among the BusiAess Men. -s.,
 PrrrsRtka, Pa, March 2S.--The great strike of the Monongahela Valley Coal Miners has practically ended and before the end of the week it is probable that all of the 10000 old men will be back 10 work. Fully 5000 strikers have returned to the mines in the second and fourth pools and the third pool men have 'lso weakened.
 The strikers were so anxious to get their old places that they did not wait for the convention called for to-day at Mononga- hela City, at which it is expected the strike will be officially declared off.
 The strike was broken by the men at Lucyville and Roscoe returning to work on Saturday. As soon as this was learned there was general scramble to get back. The strike lasted seven months and it is estimated, cost the operators and miners $4, 900, ,000
 Of this amount the strikers lost $l ,200,- 900 in wages. There is rejoicing through out the valley, particularly among mer- chants and storekeepers, over the ending of the strike

An exchange says that an excur- sion steamer which plies back and forth between Boston and Nantasket Beach was lying at the wharf when a fussy little man, short of breath. came on board over the gang-plank.
 Probably he wished to secure a seat in the bow of the boat. but he was toe much in haste to express himself clear ly. He hurried up to one of the few passengers already on board, and said:
 "Can you tell me which end of this boat goes frst?"

Japanese Names.

Many of those pretty and suggestive little words that serve as names for Japanese girls are as charming in Eng fish as in Japanese, for it is not uncom- mon for Jap girl to bear the name of a flower. On the other hand, however, many girls in Japan bear the name o1 some homely domestic utensl, as fry ing pan or dust brush. Doubtless this results from the custom common among some peoples of naming child for the first object that strikes the fathers eye after the little one has come into the world

THE MOUNTAINS, ROOTS.

Mercury and Plumb-Lino in the Vicinity of Great Ranges.
 It is we'll known that mountains at- tract the plumb line, and thus render attitudes determined by its means or by spirit or mercurial level inac- curate in their vicinity. During the trigonometrical survey of India the amount of this error was carefully determined in several localities near mountains, but discrepancy ap- peared. When the mass of the Hima- layas was estimated and its attraction calculated 1t was found to be more than the observed attrac- tion. The same thing had occurred in the original experiment by Maskelyne at Schehallion in Scotland, and sim liar deficiency in the error produced was noticed by Petit in the case of the Pyrenees
 Many attempts were made to explain the discrepancy, but that which was advanced by the late Sir G. B. Airy seems best to account for all the phe- nomena, and is that adopted by MT. Fisher. It is that every mountain mass on a continent has much larger mass projecting beneath the crust into the liquid substratum, exactly as an iceberg has a larger mass under the water than above 1t. Sir G. B. Airy argued that whether the crust were ten miles or hundred miles thick it could not bear the weight of such mass as the Himala yan and Thibetan plateaus without breaking from bot tom to top, and receiving support
 by partially sinking into the liquid mass. The best experiments show that
 the proportionate densities of most rocks in solid and liquid state are approximately as ice is to water, and \ thus no mountain masses can be ! formed, whether by lateral pressure or other agency, without a corresponding protuberance forming below to keep
 the crust in equilibrium. It is this dis placement of the denser substratum by | the less dense "roots of the mountains \ that leads to the total attraction of
 such mountains being less than it oth- | erwise would be. In our authors \ words, "the roots of the mountains can
 be felt by means of the plumb-line. A. R. Wallace, in Fortnightly Review.

THE WHISKY TAX.

The Philadelphia Record, tariff for
revenue paper, which thinks for itself, is
not pleased at the several methods pro-
posed TO supply the revenue sacrificed to
Tree trade. The Record declares roundly
that no eQuable income tax can be levied
in this country without dividing the people
into classes. 1t also opposes the proposed
increased tax on whisky unless the whisky
now in bond is also subjected to the in
creased tax. The Record is too straight
forward itself 10 perceive that the prOpo-
sItion to increase the tax on whisky to be
distilled hereafter is a proposition to make
the whisky trust present of 10 per cent
a gallon on whisky now in bond. An
amendment TO include whisky now in
bond would be looked upon coldly in the
great whisky distilling districts.

Colorado is State with a magnificent
future. Her mineral resources will not be
discovered in q century. New mines will
be turning up hundred years hence.
Her agricultural territory is all in the
future-when the waters of the Arkansas
are made to do their duty as fertilizers,
and the shepherd makes way for the
farmer. The silver of Colorado is of less
value than the coal, which is now only
used within the State. Some day it will
lind its way to this coast, and then perhaps
the Ignite of the Canyon and the Gunnison
may do for Colorado what anthracite has
done for Pennsylvania.

dred guests were present to enjoy the festivi-
ties.
Mrs. Stettin, costumed in gray silk trimmed
diamonds, the gift of her husband, assisted Mr..
Stettin in welcoming their friends and received

THE SUGAR BOUNTY.

This New Orleans PicGyune advocates a
retention Of tie sugar bounty. 1t consid-
ers a repeal Of the bounty clause of the
bad faith. Money has been invested in
the sugar industry under the assumption
that Congress would from year to year ap-
propriate money to pay the sugar bounty
with. The Picoyune continues:
Were the bounty allowed to continue undis-
turbed and the beet sugar of the West, as we'll
as our own cane industry, be permitted 10 de-
velop at the rate of the last few years. it would
be but comparatively short time before the
masses OF the people, instead OF having compe-
titlon In sugar, with the attendant cheapening
of prices during few months only. would have
such competition during the greater part of the
year, while the bulk of the sugar consumed
would be the product Of home industry aud
labor.
Verify the average Democrat is wise in
spots. The Democrats of Louisiana want
to protect sugar; the Dem ocrats of Florida
will not vote for bill that does not pro-
tect oranges; Democrats from other States
want a high duty on rice; but all these
Democrats are opposed TO duties on other
products than those their constituents are
interested in. The campaign of education
is going on, though not in Mr.. Cleveland
way. Democrats who so clearly see the
need of protection for industries in which
they are personally interested will in time
be educated up to the standard of protec-
ton for all industries that are prosecuted
in petition with like industries In other
