The Rag Doll.

The rag doll, dearer to the heart of
childhood than any other sort of doll, is
quite the fashionable doll par excellence
at the present moment. Unlike the one
our grandmothers made for their little
oneS, tho one cherished by the little
folks of today is of flesh colored silk jer-
sey cloth or of cotton balbriggan of the
same color. Its body is filled with cot
ton, and it's hair is in many rings of yell
low single zephyr stitched ON in loops.
The face is painted, and when it is nec-
essary to clean it this face can be re-
painted after the rest has been washed,
as it can be without injury.-Detroit

Elevated Electric Railway.

A syndicate of engineers has applied
for the privilege of constructing an ell
evated railroad in Paris to be operated
by electricity. The project divides the
city into two parts by line running
north and south.
A new street, 1855 feet in width, will
be built, which will open into the prin-
cipal quarters, the Bourse, the Halles
Centrales, the Palais du Senat and the
Jardin des Plantes.
The central part of this route will be
reserved for the elevated line, which
viii have two tracks resting on four
rows Of iron columns twenty-three feet
In height. The projected line will con-
meet with the Metropolitan railway and
with the important lines which already
exist.-Electrical World.

A sa ior's trousers are the foundation
on which the learned Professor Heilprin,
of the Philadelphia Academy of Sciences,
rests his theory that the north pole can
be discovered, and that within a few
years. This garment was the property
of seaman whose ship entered the
arctic regions by Behring sea. Some
how the apparel got into the ocean cur
rent. was swept away up toward the
pole and finally came down along the
shore of Greenland, where it was dis
covered. A ship, argues Professor He'll
prin, can go where these trousers have
been. And it is fact that an expedition
is going to start from Norway in the
spring of 1893 to try it.-Boston Journal.

THE CABIN ON THE CLAIM.

Lonely, you say. with mighty arch
OF sky so grandly bending?
By bright hued clouds and glittering stars
A tender message sending2
Joyless? When out of crimson cloud
The sunrise pours its glory,
Morn after morn repeating well
Aurora's cheerful story2
Peaceless? When night with noiseless feet,
From fields Of herbs and flowers,
Sweet odors in her mantle dark
Bears to this cot of ours?
Like faintest sounds OF distant seas
Pounding some castle hoary,
We hear the great worlds roar and fret
And trace her changeful story.
As far away white cleaning sail,
! Turning bend of riya;
A noble deed with radiant flash
Makes every heartstring quiver.
So. thankful, where the kindly stars
Spangle the blue with beauty,
We look and breathe the fervent wish
That all may do their duty.

WOMEN'S WORK.
If They We're Compelled to Subsist Upon
Their Wages They Would Starve.

Ii Ihey were Compelled to Subsist Upon
Their Wages They Would Starve.
The relation of womens work to the
general problem of poverty must also be
well studied. The worst paid work is
always women's work. And it is easy to
see how the labor of women often tends
directly to the depression of general
wages. The wife or the daughter of the
breadwinner frequently works for less
than would sustain life.
The main dependence is the wage of
the husband and father; what is earned
by the women merely adds something to
the sum of comfort. 1t is out of his
earnings that they derive the strength
which they expend for the benefit of
their employer. If they were compelled
to subslst on what their employer pays
them they would starve. A vast amount
of the labor of women is thus given for
wages that will not sustain life. The
vital energies by which this labor is per-
formed are supplied from other sources.
Many poor widows and deserted
wives who sew all day and most of the
night for less than enough to feed them
selves and their children are kept from
starving by the aims of some church or
charitable association, or perhaps by the
assistance of the overseer of the poor.
Now it is evident that this kind of labor
tends to poverty. Because there are SO
many who can work for less than
enough to support life those employers
who recognize no law but competition are
ready to reduce wages to this standard.
A1fhntrh ho1-a II 10 ha1
economy for the employer to pay less
than will fairly support life if his la
borers are compelled to subsist upon the
wages which he pays them, yet it may
be good economy, from his point of view,
to pay them this inadequate wage if he
can depend on somebody else to supple
ment it, and can thus consume the labor
force which somebody else daily replen-
ishes. This is one of many ways in which
the strong thrive at the expense of the
weak.
Not only women's work but much of
the labor of young men and boys is ex
plotted after this fashion. Great firms
and corporations employ young men at
salaries far below the cost of their main
tenance because they can get them at
that figure. The young men are living
at home, and their fathers and mothers,
many of whom are themselves poor, are
made to contribute to the growing wealth
of the great firms or companies by board
ing and clothing their employees.
The excuse for this is that the young
men are receiving instruction. That is
good reason why they should not re-
f..1 l..
but it is not good reason why they
should not receive enough to support
life, for they are not only receiving in
struction, they are performing labor, in
many cases very severe and exhausting
labor, and the labor of full grown,
able bodied young man or woman ought
to suffice for maintenance Washington

A Kangaroo Boxer.

An exhibition of boxing of an unusual
character has been secured by the man
agement of the Royal aquarium. Pro
fessor Landerman, an Australian pugil-
list, will box Kangaroo seven feet high.
1t is said that the kangaroo boxes scien-
tifcally and hits harder than the or
dinary pugilist. The exhibition appears
to have been given in Melbourne and
Sydney-the combatants being so Sc
verely mauled that some were in hospi-
tai for months afterward. Professor
Landerman and the kangaroo came over
from Australia in the Ormuz.
John L. Sullivan, although challenged,
refused to fight, and Mime. Sarah Bern
hardt was so amused and taken with
the exhibition at the Criterion, Sydney,
as to offer e1, 900 for the animal.-Lon-

4 Gre,ysome Relic.

The scaffold upon which John Brown
was hanged in Harpers Ferry has ar
rived at Washington for shipment to
the Worlds fair. The timbers are in a
good state of preservation, though they
have served the purposes of a porch to
the residence of a son of the man who
built the scaffold. The gallows itself is
a plain, substantial affair, which would
attract little attention apart from its
history. The timbers are evidently pine,
although they have been painted over at
some later period to preserve them. The
two uprights are big beams six inches
square, and the crossbar is in proper
ton. Even the screws with which it
was put together have been preserved.
John Brown was hanged on Dec. 2, 1859.

at the proper time to be the most power
full organizations for political purposes,
but until such time as tailors, carpenters,
ETC., are ready to stand as one man in
their unions to secure better prices for
their labor it appears to many thought
full trades unionists folly to try to get
them to act unitedly on political princi-
Piles, of which many men have no con-
ception. The trades unions propose to
secure full justice and freedom for the
workers by doing first things tirst"-

who desire it, but we believe there is a
possibility OF the thing being overdone
None of these petitions will be consid-

there is plenty of time in which to make
applications.
During Mr.. Cleveland's last admins
tration he dispensed the public patron
age through the members of the senate
and the house.
If he pursues his policy he will,
as general thing, appoint to office from

by the delegation to congress, and we do
not think that he will ever see or read a
letter of application for public Office

Resolved, That we favor the dissemination of

militia to elect its own officers. and the rank

Thousands of Singing Birds.

When the North German Lloyd steam
er Hermann unloaded on Saturday twen-
ty large bundles shrouded in white ciGth
were carefully lifted from the hold and
placed on the dock. From each bundle
came chorus of angry twitteripgs aud
chirpings and much futtering of wings.
The bundles were loaded on truck and
were taken to the store of a bird fancier
In William street. There they were up-
loaded and the cloths removed. Each
bundle contained 252 little wooden bird
cages, each with canary bird i'll it. In
mediately every one of the 5,040 birds
stretched his little yellow throat in an
effort to outsing his neighbor. They
caroled and trilled as merrily as if they
were looking out on green heath and
blue sky instead of a muddy highway
half obscured by drive of wet snow.
Three men undertook the task of giving
the birds grain and water, and the op-
Grafton consumed the major part of a
day.
The canaries are of three grades-the
birds. The ordinary birds are worth
$3.50. A large fine bird, or one of par
ticularly handsome coloring, brings
twice that price, while a distinguished
vocalist will bring $40. All the birds
are males and singers. They come from
Germany, where they are bred in large
numbers. 1t is probable that all of the
5000 birds will be sold within few
weeks. This is the busy time in the
canary market, and within the past
week more than 10000 of these birds
have arrived classed as live stock

BEAR CAUGHT IN HIS LAIR.
Two Snoqus,mie settlers Dispatch Him
ia Hollow Tree.

Louis Gore aud James Carroll killed a large
black bear in hollow tree near their cabins at
snoG0a!Inic last week The men had started
Tor II little tramp through the woods when they
heard something smiling the air cl Sc by.
within lew seconds the place was discovered
whence the sounds came There. with his nose
out OF an opening in the tree. was sir Bruin Gore
wa carrying small AK, and. with This raised in
the air he quietly advanced ani dsa.t the bear a
powerful blow, nearly severing al inch or two
OF the nose. VITA a growl of rsge the bear
withdrew his wounded prODoscls aud began
rapidly TO climb the tree
lie men were unarmed. but they were deter
mined % get the old fellows scalp AT all haz-
ards They NJ once began to stop the opening
ia the tree, with view - Keeping him there
until gnu conld be procured.
About the time the work had been satisiactor-
iiy finished the bear was heard coming down
again, growing like menagerie, and when he
found his door barred. he became frantic with
rage. One huge paw was thrust through an
opening, the barricade began to tremble and so
did poor Carroll, who was standing guard.
Carroll, however, stuck TO his post and began
calling for Lou. The latter came up as the bear
had almost torn his way out. md with a wide
flourish and lightning like rapidity brought the
Keen blade down on the shoulder OF the furious
beast. The animal IL once retreated eud did
not again attempt to get ont. Carroll went
alter gun, returning with it about dark. After
three shots had been fired the bear was pro-
nounced dead. Gore then went into the tree
soon followed by Carroll, and with great diff.
Guilty they dragged out the bear.
