Work and a Fact.

Some of the champions of compul-
sorry S-hour work day claim that in eight
hours as much work could and would be
produced as in nine or ten. Nonsense!
If this be so, why should the hours be
reduced? These so called labor reformers
ought to understand that such claims
are doubly wrong. First. they are not
true, and, second, if they were, they
would be an argument against the pro
posed short hour legislation.
The only possible reason for abridg-
ing the hours of labor by law is that to
do so would give more persons steady
employment; it would increase the de-
mand for labor and decrease the supply
of unemployed labor. AS the value of
everything. whether it be brains, skill,
muscle, money, diamonds, beans or DO
tatoes, depends upon the supply of it
and the demand for it. decreased sup
ply of labor and an increased demand
for it would make labor of greater value.
Failing to do this the proposed reduced
hours would be of no economic benefit
whatever. Labor champions cannot af-
ford to lose sight of this fact.

Hon. Charles Nordhoffs letter from
Honolulu to the New York Herald is in
teresting if not positively startling, COM
ing as it does from man whose name
gives character and force to what he
says. He claims that nothing is clearer
than that the deposition Of the Hawaiian
queen was due to an intrigue fostered
by the American minister. Mr.. Nord-
hoH takes up the question of native gov
eminent and discusses it from several
aides. There are people there who think
that an oligarchy would be nice thing.
He does not believe that republican
form of government would be the best
thing for a. country like Hawaii with a
mixed population. A real democracy
would give the franchise to Chinese,
japanese and Polynesians equally with
the native Hawaiians.
Mr. Nordhoff says that white men
have been at the bottom of much of the
corrupt or bad legislation which it is
now the fashion to charge upon the ma
tives. At present all is quiet, but if
Americans were to interfere in any way,
even to restore the queen, the result
would be mischievous. Concerning the
benefits of such colony to this country
Mr.. Nordhoff says:
Nor could we, if we were in want of colo
MES, plant ourselves in a less convenient or de-
feasible situation. We should have to defend
four large islands and four smaller ones lying
at some distances apart. To protect all against
attack would require a great fleet in time of
war.
We do not need colonies, but when we do we
ought to get one nearer home than 2, 100 miles
and lying more compactly than this group of
islands. If this pear were ripe, and we wanted
pears, we ought not to pull it. but it is not ripe.
We can always have all the influence here that
we wish. The commerce of the islands is nat
urally and inevitably with us. Their contract
and semiservile labor system, necessary TO
their prosperity and productiveness, Is repug-
nanr to our institutions and to our customs,
necessitates laws justly hateful to our working
people and collects here mongrel population
which is not fitted to our system of govern
ment.
If there be but modicum of truth in
all this, and if the Hawaiians themselves
are not laundering after republic, it is
a case where we can afford at least to
make haste slowly.

A Winter Day.

The sky is ashen gray, and DER its face
Is spread a sullen, angry scowl. From far
AS eye can pierce the trembling snowflakes
fall.
Like pretty butterflies they dip and dart,
Now right, now left, as if in very play
With streaming hair and cheeks with health
aglow.
The little children, just let loose from school,
To catch the feath'ry sprites all madly run,
But strive they as they may tn elusive flakes
BY many devious paths to earth descend
And find their bed with myriads beneath.
Misunderstanding through the cold, crisp air,
Their merry voices ring in boist'rous glee,
Frightening scene most melancholy else.
Her ladyship, proud earth, like some grand
dame,
Is robed in warm, soft cloak of ermine rare.
The tim'rous birds the elements defy
And wing their flight despite the driving storm;
With nimble feet some dash the drifts aside
To gather sust'nance mid the wintry blasts.
From every cave pellucid pendants hang
And bide the coming of the suns first rays
To catch their warmth, then disappear from
view.
All nature lies in sweet repose. But, lol
Upon the ear the sletghbells' jingle falls
In rhythmic cadence, if unmusical,
But faint at first, then with gradual swell,
Clear and more clear the chime till all the air
Is filed o'erfowing with wild delight.

One Man Refuses Office.

Frank w. Roberts of Biddeford, Me-, has
been offered the consulate at Cape Town, but he
has decided not to accept because of his disin-
clination to take his children from the public
schools to Neutrality-suspicious. Dispatch.
There are two points in this news item
calculated to tax the credulity of the in
telligent reader. That an American cit
izen should refuse foreign consulate at
time when 800 applications for SINH
lar posts are ON file in the state depart
ment is remarkable. That he should
liken Cape Town to "heathendom" is
preposterous. Such an aspersion would
certainly be Indignantly repulsed by the
inhabitants of that cultured community.
Mr.. Roberts declination was rash, to
say the least of it. Cape Town is long
way from darkest Africa" 1t enjoys
the advantages of an enlightened gov
eminent, salubrious climate, public
libraries, museums, schools. churches,
theaters, railroads, telegraphs, newspa-
pers and an intelligent and cultivated
white population.
The children of the American consul
at Cape Town may attend the public
schools and there be prepared for the
Cape university, an institution which
ranks with the English universities. Be
sides the university. there are in the col
ony 6 colleges and I .447 schools, of which
434 are public schools, $50 private farm
schools and 435 mission schools for ma
tives.
The person who imagines that Ameri-
ca monopolizes all the virtue, liberty and
intelligence of the universe is making a
great mistake.

GEMS IN VERSE.
The Hidden Hoard.

There is not a word thou hast ever said,
There Is not glance of thine,
There is not a tear thou has CHANGED to shed,
That have not by stealth made mine
And boarded away for the wintry day
When thy love shall have ceased to shinel
Now that bask n.thy smiles galore,
And song In thy least breath find,
never need gaze ON that furtive store
Deep down in my heart enshrined,
But summers delight will one day take flight,
And then, for the bleak, bleak windl
In the season of sorrow and waste and wreck,
When all shall seem doomed to wane,
That long cherished hoard shall my heart not
lack,
Though neught beside 1t remain.
But with glamour lit eyes, porting over each
prize,
shall dream that thou lov'st againl

Secret Thoughts.

hold 1t true that thoughts are things
Endowed with bodies, breath and wings,
And that we send them forth to fill
The world with good results-or i'll.
That which we call our secret thought
Speeds to the earth's remetest spot
And leaves its blessings or its woes
Like tracks behind 1t as 1t goes.
1t is Gods law. Remember 1t
In your still chamber as you sit
With thoughts you would not dare have
known
And yet make comrades when alone.
These thoughts have life, and they will fly
And leave their impress by and by,
Like some marsh breeze, whose poisoned
breath
Breathes into homes its fevered breath.
And after you have quite forgot
Or all outgrown some vanished thought,
Back 10 your mind TO make its home,
dove or raven, 1t will come.
Then let your secret thoughts be fair.
They have a vital part and share
In shaping worlds and molding fate
Gods system Is so intricate.

The Convict's Dream.


The moon looked in on his lonely cell,
The barren floor, and the untouched fare,
And its holy veil on his wan face fell
And covered the pain and sin marks there,
And smile, the first for many q day,
The first for many a weary year,
Crept over his lips as he sleeping lay
And banished the look of haunted fear.
He dreamed that, boy again, he strayed
Affair In the glowing, dying wood;
The golden sunlight around him played,
And the ripe nuts fell with pleasant thud
Again squirrel In fearsome fright
Sought shelter up In a whispering tree,
And a rabbit, wild In its eager fight,
Dashed into the bushes tremblingly.
And again, grown weary of wandering play,
He turns his steps to his welcome home,
Where a face as sweet as a sweet June day
Is smiling greeting to her son.
My boyl My boyl' and the lips close meet,
And she listens with earnest, lovelit eyes,
While he tells of the days work, sad and sweet,
And his wonderful hope that in future lies.
But the moonlight fades-and he wakes.
For moment blank-and then a sob
From the white, drawn lips in anguish breaks
And tears his heart with mighty throb.
His boyhood is past-the mother sleeps
Where his sob no answering love can wake
And he thinks of his life and weeps and weeps
Till it seems If the bursting heart must
break.
God pity him therel And pity the men
Who languish behind the prison wall,
Who look on the past through the eyes of sin,
And long for the love beyond recall.
Let thy love, like the moonlight, sweet and
still,
Steal over them-bid their anguish cease
And speak that word with holy THRILL
Behold, forgive thee, brother Peacer

Let her rest; the weary night
Never brought her dreams like this.
Let her sleep; the morning light
Shall not wake her from her bliss.
Glad was she to end the fight;
Death had conquered with kiss.
Tired eyes need watch no more;
Flagging feet, the race is run;
Hands that heavy burdens bore,
Set them down, the day is done;
Heart, be still-through anguish sore.
Everlasting peace is won.

Device OF n story Writer.

Ponson du Terrial, a French story
writer for newspapers, invented singu-
lar device in order to prevent confusion
in his numerous plots. His practice was
to dress up small wooden dolls to repre-
sent the several characters in his stories,
and to place each set Of figures in
position on its own stage. Whenever a
new installment of the romance was called
for, he would thus see at glance how
and where he had left the children Of
his brain when he last wrote OF them.
Buteven this ingenious scheme was not
without its disadvantages, for it is re-
lated that he once killed off one of his
heroes, without removing from the board
the doll that represented the character,
and, consequently, the young man reap

Oil-Soakcd Carcasses.

Health Officer Keeney has made new
rule as to the treatment of carcasses of
calves aud other animals, which have
been seized by the market inspectors as
unfit for human consumption. The OBJ
ject of the regulation is to prevent any
possibility of such carcasses being taken
out of the hands of the city's
representatives, after the first seizure
has been made, and disposed of for food
purposes. To this end the market in
spectors will hereafter saturate such
carcasses with kerosene before allowing
them to go out of their possession.
They will then be turned over, as hereto
fore, to Alpers to be used for fertilizing
purposes, and if any one contrives to
steal them from Alpers before they can
be so used he will scarsely be able to
profit by his enterprise. Il San Francisco

PALATIAL STABLES.
A Gorgeous Structure in Newport
Worth 100000.

The rost costly stables in America,
and, with few exceptions, in the world,
are situated at Newport. Oliver Hazard
Perry Belmont has just finished on the
short street known as Lakeview avenue,
near Bellevue avenue, a house for
his horses and carriages which
in its completed state has,
made short work of $780, 600 The barn
is described by the New York Times as
agorgeous structure of light brown stone.
1t is three stories high, with a mausard
roof Because Of the peculiar color OF
the stone used in the construction the
stable has been facetiously called 'the
pastehoard barn" although it is thor
oughly fireproof. Each horse has an un-
usually large box stall, framed in oak and
floored with concrete. In the rear of the
stable is an archwsy, under which the
horses and carriages enter. The stable is
not only q home for horses Mr.. Bel
mont has fitted up on the upper floor a
luxurious suite of rooms. There are his
bachelor apartments, where he entertains
a few single hearted club men. There
are billiard and pool tables, and larder
that excites the longing of many gour-
met. There is also bathing tank,
which is filed with cool water in summer
and hot water in winter. Ogden Goelet's
stable at Newport is rambling affair in
the Queen Anne style, and is nearly 300
feet long. The stable is of brick,
with rich embellishments, and looks more
like an old English lodge of large size
than a house for Mr.. Goelet's horses.
Ex-Governor George Peabody Wetmore
has palace for his horses. The stable
is totally unlike Mr.. Belmont's but
nearly az elegant, and in tower of
fifty feet height is an electric
clock, controlled by wire from this
city. Newporters set their watches by
this clock. The stable is Of brick, light
stone and slate w. Fitz Hugh White
house goes ahead of Ex-Governor Wet
more by having in q clock tower over
his stable complete set of chimes
which ring the notes of a gospel hymn
or a simple. familiar lay at the hours and
at the half hours. On the first day of
every spring. when, after an old time
custom at Newport, every bell in the
city rings in the vernsl equinox, the
chimes in the clock tower over the
whitehouse stable keep the air in the
neighborhood reverberant with the Oft
repeated repertory of their tunes. Will

contrast TO his marble mansion. The
stable is Of wood and is immense In size,
but insrtistic in fern and color.

Cheap Substitute for Putty.

A cheap and effective substitute for
putty to stop cracks in woodwork is
made by soaking newspapers in paste
made by boiling a pound of flour in three
quarts of water and adding teaspoonful
of alum. The mixture should be OF
about the same consistency as putty and
should be forced into the cracks with a
case knife. Ii will harden like papier
mache and when dry may be painted OF
stained to match its surroundings, when
IL will be almost inperceptible. .-lNew
