A STRIKE THREATENED


Among the New England Road Em-
plOyes Over the Ten Per Cent. Re-
dactiOn.
HARTFORD, Aug. 30.-A general strike
of employees is threatened on the New
York and New England railroad on &C
count of the 10 per cent. cut in wages
which will go into effect September 1. At
meeting held in East Hartford yesterday
noon committees of three were appointed
by the engineers, nremen, conductors,
brakemen, shopmen and others to go to
Boston to-day and place the matter before
President Mcleod. The men object to any
cut but will 60 on short time, if necessary.
They are afraid that the presidents prom
Use to restore wages to the original rates
s'when the business of the road may war
rant it," may mean that long period may
elapse before the officials deem it right to
increase the wages. Some of the men in
Innate that If the conductors and engineers
refuse to accept cut, providing Presi-
dent Mcleod will not grant any conces-
sions, all railroad hands will strike. 1t is
believed that the Brotherhood of Engineers
and Conductors do not regard the cut as
necessary.

"Five thousand little graves are dug

says that excellent journal, Health aud

yearly set up over their graves, all due to
deaths traceable to diseases which spring

there is nothing SO absolutely good as lac

Statistics show that babies thrive best up
on lactated food. 1t is worth more as q
preventive of cholera infsntum than all the
medicines ever made.
The superlative importance Of pure, nu-
tritious infant food, and the long study by
some of the most prominent physicians in
the country of infant disorders from mis-
takes in diet, led to the preparation of lac
tated food. Next to pure mothers milk II

THE FACE OF NATURE.


Nature, too, has face, a very hu.
man face, on which is written in deep
set lines long story of human griefs
and joys. Old Earth seems to reflect
from her countenance all our pas.
sions; all our hopes and fears.
The Mountains, natures frowns,
wrinkle up her smooth forehead, por-
tending shadows sometimes very
sombre and forbidding, and then the
little wales seem to shudder With
GOODNESS in the gloom beneath. Some
times they are ice-clad. reaching to
the sky; so, man would sometimes
raise heavenward his sublime head
Then the frown may deepen, darker
clouds float from it and enshroud it
Ia sudden Vesuyius glare-ah !
that is very explosive wrath indeed,
as If Attila or Tamburlaine were
come again to scourge the human
race. And then the sun bursts
through the clouds and paints the
bristling peaks in radiant colors, the
floods clap their hands and the little
hills are joyful, for nature frowns no
more, but her mountains seem the
bulwark of our strength.
The Valleys, nesting close under
the mountains, are natures eyes.
Very soft and laughing, full Of little
lakes and brooklets, rejecting the
overhanging sky and all the verdure
beaut es. They are surely the win
dows of natures soul.
The Rivers, flowing from the val.
leys, are natures tears. BY the wa.
ters of Babylon the exiled Hebrews
sat and wept, blending the tears of
the homeless with natures tears.
And is there not much sadness in the
murmuring of the watersY Some
times they run merrily enough
these are tears of joy; but oftenest
they run deep and strong; constant,
dreary, unheeding the little streams
which run in offering consolation.
they move onward to express ma
lures sadness.
Thus they course down the Plains,
natures cheeks, on which they trace
the burrows of age and strife. And
on these cheeks comes the glow of
pleasure and the blush of shame.
The bloom of the wild flowers and
the song of the birds dies away in
the monotony of the desert. Man
changes the desert into a garden by
letting in the rivers, and SO we make
life beautiful only by travail and
tears.
And last of all, around the face OF
nature is her hair, the Ocean, its
curling waves clustering all around
her, now falling gently on her fore
head, and now, when Eolus yields to
Juno's wiles, tossing high its threat
ening mass until at nod from ma.
ture, the Olympian curls, fragrant
with the ambrosial seaweed, shake
out storm and strife.
All, yes, nature has q tell-tale face
on which we read the story of our
own life. N. d. B.. JR.
