Labor Troubles in England.

1t is astounding nowadays what small matter
will result in a big strike. The men engaged in
taking the Stag from the furnaces at Barrow by
means of two locomotives demanded third,
and on Sunday morning four men thus employed
struck work because the duet had not been made
into a trio. They were followed by the furnace
men, and those employed at the steel works had
to follow suit. Thus three Thousand men have
been thrown out of employment all on account
of dunkey engine. The difficulty was all pieced
up with the exception of the locomotive men,
who. having left their work without notice, were
not again taken on The men demanded this,
and the general manager promised to deal le-
niently with them, but refused to take them back
into the employ forthwith. Hence the cOntin-
uance of the strike frivolous a preteXt.
And this at time when trade is exceptionally
bad when orders are scarce and profits prac-
tically nil, and when trade prospects are as
gloomy as they well can BEL IrOflnOnger.
Here is the way the Butte Bystdnder puts it:
Ibid you ever ponder upon the uncertainties of
lfe HoratiO? We are here to-day and somewhere
else tomorrow. Over 1000 people die every hour,
and sixty every minute. 1t is this uncertainty,
gentle reader. which should prompt you to pungle
up your subscription to-day, for is the winter
of our discomfort, and tomorrow you may be in
Helena or elsewhere.

All shaky and ga'nted and pore,
Jes' all so knocked out he can't handle hisself
With a stiff upper lip any more;
Shet him up all alone in the gloom of a room
AS dark as the tomb and as grim,
And then take and send him some roses in
bloom,
And you can have fun out o. him
You've ketched him fore now, when his liver
was sound
And his appetite notched like q saw,
A-mockin you maybe fer romancin round
With a big posy bunch in yer paw,
But you ketch him, say, when his health is
away
And he's fiat on his back In distress,
And then you can trot out your little bokay
And not be insulted, guess.
You sec, it's like this what his weaknesses is
Them flowers makes him think of the days
OF his innocent youth, and that mother o. his,
And the roses that she ust to raise.
So here, all alone with the roses you send,

Three men seem real as living men we know
dark.
Rossetti drew; the Norman duke, $50 stark
OF arm that none but him might draw his
bow"
And gentle Shakespeare, though enshrouded go
In his own thought that some men cannot
mark
The soul his book reveals as when lark
Sings from cloud, unseen by men below.
But still more real than these seem other three
Who never walked on earth-Hamlet the
Dane;
The noble Moor" the cruel Scottish thane.
Ambitions thrlll. How strange that they
should be,
Though naught but Pigments of the poets
brain,
Instinct with life and yet more real than hel

remarked Mrs. Hay Denver.
"Look at that now!' cried the admiral,
with Il lunge of his forefnger at the
doctor. lyon mark my words, Walker,
if we don't look out that woman will
raise mutiny with her preaching.
Here's my wife disaffected already, and
your girls will be no better. We must
combine, man, or there's an end of all
discipline"
mo doubt she is little excessive in
her views" said the doctor, ''but in the
main think as she does"
bravo, doctor!' cried the lady.
"What, turned traitor to your sex
''She is quite right. The professions
are not sufficiently open to owomen. They
are still far too much circumscribed in
their employments. They are feeble
folk, the women who have to work for
their bread-poor, unorganized, timid,
taking as favor what they might de-
mand as right. That is why their case
is not more constantly before the public,
for if their cry for redress was as great
as their grievance it would fill the world
to the exclusion of all others. 1t is all
very well for us to be courteous to the
rich, the refined, those to whom life is
already made easy. 1t is mere form, a
trick of manner. If we are truly courte-

cant about it being unwomanly to work
in the higher professions. 1t is womanly
enough to starve, but unwomanly to use
the brains which God has given them.
Is it not a monstrous contention?"
The admiral chuckled. "You are like
one of these monographs, Walker" said
he. "You have had all this talked into
you, and now you are reeling it off again.
It's rank mutiny, every word of it, for
man has his duties ard woman has hers,
but they are as separate as their natures
are. suppose that we shall have wom-
an hoisting her pennant on the flagship
presently and taking command of the
Channel squadron"
"Well, you have woman on the throne
taking command of the whole nation"
remarked his wife, "and everybody is
agreed that she does it better than any
of the men,"
The admiral was somewhat staggered
by this home thrust. That's quite an
other thing" said he.
"You should come to their next meet
ing. am to take the chair. l have just
promised Mrs. Westmacott that l will
do So. But it has turned chilly, and it is
time that the girls were indoors. Good
night. | shall look out for you after
breakfast for our constitutional, admi-
rail-"
The old sailor looked after his friend
with a twinkle in his eyes.
"How old is he, mother?"
"About so, think"
"And Mrs. Westmacott?"
81 heard that she was 49,"
The, admiral rubbed his hands and
shook with amusement. "We'll find one
of these days that three and two make
one," said he. "I'll bet you n new bon

The WAY to Make n Cannon.

Turaccioletti obtained leave to visit the
mandatory of weapons at Terni. An en-
gineer politely showed him round, but soon
grew weary of the innumerable questions
to which he was compelled to give courte-
ous answers At length Turaccioletti de
cided to take his departure, but on reaching
the door he said to the guide;

to me how they manage to construct 100

nad placed those broad shoulders and
strong limbs upon his well knit frame.
His dark open face, too, with his straight
Grecian nose, well opened brown eyes
and round black curled head. were all
those of a man who was fashioned for
active physical work. Meanwhile he
was popular with his fellow brokers, re-
spected by his clients and beloved at
home, but his spirit was restless within
him, and his mind chafed increasingly
against his surroundings.
''Do you know, Willy" said Mrs. Hay
Denver one evening as she stood behind
her husbands chair, with her hand upon
his shoulder, Il think sometimes that
Harold is not quite happy"
"He looks happy, the young rascal
answered the admiral, pointing with his
cigar. 1t was after dinner, and through
the open French window Of the dining
room a clear view was to be had of the
tennis court and the players. A set had
just been finished, and young Charles
Westmacott was hitting up the balls as
high as he could send them in the middle
of the ground. DR.. Walker and Mrs,
Westmacott were pacing up and down
the lawn, the lady waving her racket as
she emphasized her remarks, and the
doctor listening with slanting head and
little mods of agreement Against the
rails at the near end Harold was leaning
in his dannels talking to the two sisters,
who stood listening to him with their
long dark shadows streaming down the
lawn behind them. The girls were
dressed alike in dark skirts, with lightpink
tennis blouses and pink bands on their
straw hats, 80 that as they stood with
the soft red of tho setting sun tinging
their faces, Clara domure and quiet, Ida
mischievous and daring, it was group
which might have pleased the eye of
more exacting critic than the old sailor.

"Yes, he looks happy, mother" he re-
peated with chuckle. 'It was not so
long ago since it was you and who
were standing like that, and l don't.re-
member that we were very unhappy
either. 1t was croquet in our time, and
the ladies had not reefed in their skirts
quite SO taut. What year would it be!
Just before the commission of the Pencil
ope."
Mrs. Hay Denver ran her fingers
through his grizzled hair at was when
you came back in the Antelope, just be-
fore you got your step"
"Ah, the old Antelopel What clip

nearer the wind than anything of her
tonnage in the service. You remember
her, mother. You saw her come into
Plymouth bay. Wasn't she a beautyT'
"She was indeed, dear. But when
say that think that Harold is not hap
py mean in his daily life. Has it never
struck you how thoughtful he is at
times and how absentminded?"
Sin love perhaps, the young dog. He
seems to have found snug moorings now
at any rate"
81 think that it is very likely that you
are right, Willy" answered the mother
seriously.
"But with which of them?" 49,
II cannot tell"
well, they are very charming girls,
both of them. But as long as he hangs
in the wind between the two it cannot
be serious After all, the boy is four
and twenty, and he made $500 last year.
He is better able to marry than l was

81 think that we can see which it is
now," remarked the observant mother.
Charles Westlnacott had ceased to knock
the tennis balls about and was chatting
with Clara Walker, while Ida and Harold
Denver were still talking by the railing
with little outbursts of laughter Pres
emily fresh set was formed, and DR..
Walker, the odd man out, came through
the wicket gate and strolled up the gar
den walk.
Good evening, Mrs. Hay Denver"
said he, raising his broad straw hat.

holding out his cigar case. "They are

coast. l was thinking of signaling to
you, but you seemed SO very happy out
there"
MRS. Westmacott is very clever
woman" said the doctor, lighting the
cigar. by the way, you spoke about
the Mosquito coast just now. Did you
see much of the Hyla when you were out
there?"
mo such name on the list" answered
the seaman with decision. "There's the
Hydra, harbor defense turret ship, but
she never leaves the home waters"
The doctor laughed. I'VE live in two
separate worlds" said he. "The Hyla is
the little green tree frog, and Beale has
founded some of his views on protoplasm
upon the appearances of its nerve cells.
1t is a subject in which / take an in

"There were vermin of all sorts in the

We polish over many things
And try to get them out of view.
We seek to curb their innate springs
And change them in their native hre.
We educate the intellect
And cultivate perfect taste
That we may hold our heads erect,
With souls subdued, refined and chaste,
But edicts from social throne,
However lordly, great and stout,
Must leave the breeding in the bone
They cannot force the marrow out,
For breeding and environment
Form cultures measure and extent.
