Strike Against Rum.

The working classes pay at least
S500,000,000 year for drink, and then
complain of" hard times" and " strike I"
for more money-to go the saloonkeep-
ers. The following advice of the Rail
,Oay Ageis as good for other working.
men as for railway employees: We urge
all railway employees in the land to
strike-against rum. Whiskey is an
infinitely greater evil to them than long
hours or poor pay. Vastly more money
is squandered in strong drink than any
advance in wages can offset. Intern
perance-not capitals the great op-
pressor of labor. Let the Knights of
Labor and all other labor organizations
inaugurate a determined strike against
strong drink, and the greatest evil of
the age and of the world may be over
thrown. Manchester Union.

"FooLs AND THE MAN." issued by
Houghton, Mifllin & Co., is the title of
an interesting volume by Rev. DR..
Washington GLADDEN., who has given a
great deal of study to economic ques-
lions. In ten chapters of the work
DR.. GLADDEN. sets forth the law of pure
Christianity as applied TO current CON
ditions of property and industry. He
states principles and illustrates them
by examples. Among the most strik-
ing chapters are those on the Chris.
tianiz ,tion of society, property in land,
property in general, the labor question,
the collapse of competition, scientific
socialism and Christian socialism. DIR.
GLADDEN. quotes freely from good au-
thors, and has made an orderly arrange
ment of many subjects which are dis
tinctly related TO each other, but which
are apt TO be treated independently
His book is valuable contribution TO
the solution of many important and
perplexing questions. 1t is, in short, a
book which no student of modern life
should fail to read.

MISCELLANEOUS.
The Great tulip Mania.

Soon after the introduction of the tulip
into western Europe boards of trade
(providing they had such things in those
days. made tulip bulbs basis of the
widest financial schemes ever known,
engendering a speculative fever which
went down into history as the tulip
mania" or "tulip craze" The staid Hol-
landers allowed their "little dixie locked
land" to become the center of this curious
species Of speculative frenzy, and for
three years-1644-7--the recklessness
Of the dealers and the disastrous results
of the "mania" can only be compared
with the South Sea Bubble" When
the "craze" was at its height some va
rieties of the bulbs sold for ten, twenty
and even 100 or 500 times their weight
in gold.
A single bulb Of the Semper Augustus,
"not much exceeding the bigness of an
onion sette," was sold on the market for
1900 forms But this was not all. The
gentleman who purchased it did so with
the mistaken idea that it was the only
known bulb of the kind in existence, but
no sooner did he register purchase than
another, "larger somewhat, but not big"
was announced, and the poor victim was
compelled to pay 1900 forms for it or
see it go to another This he did and
became the owner of two of the highest
priced botanical specimens ever pur-
chased. st. Louis Republic.

The Naturalist's Loss.

A naturalist, who is both an ardent
student in his branch of science and
absent-minded to degree which keeps
his family on the alert, recently cele-
brated his silver wedding. Many
guests were invited for the occasion,
and the house was made ready for the
reception of the company. Just as the
first guest arrived one of the daughters
was sent to summon the father, who
had not come from his study. Care
had been taken that he should be re-
minded to dress in time, so he was all
ready, and at the summons of the
daughters he came into the parlor.
When they reached the room the
daughter noticed that her father carried
in his hand a small wooden box, and as
he shook hands with the nearest guest
she saw him drop it, The cover rolled
off, but she gave sigh of relief when
she saw that the box was apparently
empty. The naturalist, however, ut
tered a cry of dismay, and instantly
went down on his hands and knees in
an attempt to gather up something.
Have you spilled anything, father? y
she asked. "Spilled anythingl" he
echoed, in evident indignation at her
calm tone. I" have lost fifty fleas that
l have just received from Egyptl''
The effect of this intelligence on the
family was nothing in comparison tc
the effect the catastrophe had upon the
company before the evening was over;
and the only thing the naturalist said
to his friends in answer to their con.
gratulations upon his happy married
life, so his daughters declared after all
was over, was to ask that if they carried
away any of his Egyptian fleas they
would return the insects TO him.-Man

At the "SOOo Junction.

The time was a cold October after
noon. The place was lonely junction
waiting-room in northern Michigan.
The people of the drama were an old
lumberman in "store clothes" and a
young man whose apparel proclaimed
the city. And then there was rough
pine box, about six feet long, on a
truck outside. Perhaps that might
have been called "the properties"

WHEAT in moderate quantities is a
very good grain to feed to the breeding
ewes, but is quite too concentrated a
food to feed in large quantities. A
better ration would be to mix oats and
wheat equal parts and grind, or rather
crush them. If ground fine, there is so
much flour that the sheep will waste
much of the food.

An article in another part Of this
paper shows, partially, what Rhode
Island manufacturers will do In the
way of showing the products Of the
state at the Worlds fair.
The list is not complete, but it is COM
prehensive enough to show that this
state will have creditable and illumi-
mating exhibit among those from larger
states with more branches of industry
to draw from.
Rhode Island is unique among the
states for its size and the magnitude of
its manufacturing interests in several
lines. The exhibit at the great fair
ought to be emphatically one that shall
illustrate our superiority in those lines
and draw attention to the peculiarities
in our industrial life that have made the
state a separate and unique individual
in the great sisterhood.
The labors Of Commissioner Wyman,
and the state board, have been con-
Quoted with this end in view, and the
result will doubtless more than Justify
their expectations and reward their
efforts.

FASHIONS MIkilOR,

The most popular way to trim skirt
just now is with narrow bands of some
contrasting material, placed at gradu-
ated distances from the hem to the
knee, the bottom space being the broad
est, and the upper one the least in
width. Satin is very popular for these
folds or bands, which may be from one
10 two inches in width. Black satin and
black cloth make favorite combina-
ton this season. The waist is made en-
tirely of black satin with huge gigot
sleeves, and the skirt of heavy, rough
black cloth trimmed with black satin
bands.
For young girl there h>no prettiey
evening dress than dotted muslin
trimmed with Anticipated ruffies of the
same, edged with narrow lace. At New
port last season, these simple tillettes
had success fou," and this season
they bid fair TO be quite as popular.
The new Spring undersxirts are per-
feet marvels of beauty in color and fin
ish, and it seems most paradoxical
that these lovely garments should be
covered up with . plain cloth skirt.
But at least it proves conclusively that
milady loves fine garments for their
own sakes, and not simply for the sake
of display.
New tailor-made costumes for early
spring wear in Directoire, Russian and
strictly English styles, showing shor-
tened skirts and natty open coats, pre-
sent an unusual amount of odd and
novel effects in their composition.
These models at the tailors and mod
istes seem to have distributed them
selves with wonderful equality, consid-
ering the partisanship generally shown
by women in matters of dress. Those
who are seeking genuine novelties,
having already tired of the styles just
mentioned, are preferring the princess
dress with slight Greek draperies--a
gown that has appeared among the ex-
elusive creations of Paris and London
ateliers.
Where a wrap for actual wa rmth is
required there are little coats of repped
diagonal wool in stone colors and other
dainty childish hues. These are held
in double box plaits from the neck to
the waist, whence they hang free.
They are finished with large puffed
sleeves dropping from the shoulder,
and small collars or deep, shirred EN-
pire collars. A narrow border of Cir
cassian passementerie in rose, gray and
gold color trims the collar and sleeves
There is facing of dsep old-rose silk
at the sleeves and at the front of the
little coat, and the collar is lined with
the same color, and completed by long
ties of silk, hemmed at the edge and
fringed out at the ends. There are also
picturesque little coats, made in Dutch
fashion, of petunia-colored cashmeres.
These are exceedingly full, with large
1880 revers of lace and silk, with full
bows of ribbon and sometimes with
high Empire belts of velvet.
