Unions and Bad workmanship.
From London Builder.


The discontinuance to great extent of
the apprentice system, whereby youth
had the opportunity and encouragement to
become thoroughly conversant with the
practical details of his trade, and was COM
tent of time which gave him full opportu,
nifty for learning, is no doubt answerahle
to some extent for the decrease in the num-
ber of really competent hands in many
trades. But we believe that what is at the
bottom of that deterioration of workman
ship which seems to be uncontested and
incontestable, is the fact that under the
influence of the new trade unionism men
are encouraged to regard it as the main
object not to do their work as well as pos
sihle. hut to get paid as much as possible
for it. 1t is evident that the organization
of the unions is directed not to secure good
work but to secure good pay. This latter
is perfectly justifable end itself, if there
is an equal desire that the work should be
well done; but the policy of combination
to secure good wages entirely irrespective
Of good work is one of the meanest and
most contemplate policies that any class
eff men could espouse; and we say that, on
the evidence before us, that is the policy
pursued by the new trade-unionism. If
they wish their good intentions to be cred-
tied, let them proceed at once to alter all
that; let them teach their members that the
first aud highest duty, and what ought to
be the highest pride, of men engaged in
any work whatsoever is to do their work
as well and as efficiently as possible, and
that only when that condition is fulAlled
have they moral right to agitate for the
best pay possible.

Mt. Olivet Cemetery.

This place is situated much nearer the
city than Loudon Park, and although older
has not many graves that would attract the
pilgrim. Here lie many of the old pioneers
of Methodism in America An obelisk
twenty feet high, rising from base Of
blue and white marble, bears the names Of
three bishops of the Methodist church
John Emory, Francis Asbury and Enoch
George. Bishop Asbury was buried in
Eutaw Street church in 1916, and remained
there until 1854, when, by an act of the
general conference then In session at that
church. his remains were removed to Mt
0livet A monument standing near here
was erected to Rev Robert Strawbridge
and from the inscription we learn that he
built log meeting house in Frederick
county, in 1864, the first Methodist church
in America
Here are buried Rev. Abner Neal and
his wife, grandparents of President Cleve
land, and also Mrs. Sarah Gere, the Presi
dents aAHt.
But few other graves are now left the
tourist in Baltimore. In old st. Paul's
near the business section of the city, Lit
Col Armstead, the hero of Fort McHenry
sleeps where the grass grows high and rank
and where the creeping vine conceals the
engraving upon the time-worn stones.
In the crypt of Westminster Church
are several crumbling tombs, and among
the many vaults in the yard, interesting il
their quaint and curious old styles, is one
in which Commodore Hollins of the Con-
federate Navy is buried. But a grave cl
deeper interest is found in the northwestern
corner of this ancient cemetery. 1t is here
that Edgar Allen Poe rests; massive mon.
ument bearing his profile stands to his
memory. Baltimore, the scene of the
poets death, can boast of no tomb of greater
fame than this plain memorial, marking
the spot where lies all that is mortal of the
man who gave to the world, not only stories
and talks of wierd fancy whose language
flows as a murmuring brook, but such
poems as ''Annabel Lee" and the Craven. y

Coffee and Tea.
From the Gartenlaube, Leipzig.

From the Gartenlaube Leipzig.
Experiments confirm the view generally
expressed by physicians, that coffee long
boiled prejudices digestion, while simple
infusion facilitates it; but its beneficial ac-
ton in the latter case is now shown to be
due, not TO direct chemical action on the
albumen present, but indirectly to its ac-
ton on the nerves of the stomach, promo
ting the secretion of gastric juice, In
other words, its action is physiological, not
chemical.
Turning now to tea, he finds its eonsti-
tuents very nearly similar. The tea leaves
also contain caffein (called, also, theme,
aromatic substances, and tannin. Conse-
quently in tea, as in coffee, the properties
of the beverage depend very much on
whether it is an infusion or decoction.
The problem is very simple. The trav-
eller on the march will find himself beue.
fited most by the caffein, and to secure this
the coffee must be brought to, and main
tanned fnr few minutes at, the boiling
point. But to take boiled coffee after a
full meal impedes digestion and heightens
the hearts action undaly On the other
hand, an infusion of tea or coffee, taken at
such times, facilitates digestion and exeris
a Wholesome and exhilarating action on the
nervous system. Long boiling, or stewing
near the boil, of either tea or coffee brings
out all the tannin, which is always prejudi-
cial to digestion. As consequence the
practice of keeping tea os coffee hot, upon
the stpye, is q pernieious one.

Some Happy Accidents.
From the American Agrioulmrist,

From the American AgrieulurisI,
Some of the most celebrated discoveries
in the world of science and art have been
the result of happy accident. The worker,
striving earnestly for one thing, finds that,
while failing in his original quest, he has
attained another and far more wonderful
one.
The discovery Of steam was one of these
"happenings, as we all know The boy
Watts, always thoughtful and planning,
sat one day by his mothers kitchen fire.
There was the tea-kettle swinging from
its hoak, and as the water grew hot, it
began to boil, and the steam violently lifted
the kettle lid As it rose and fell, and the
boys eyes followed the motion, his brain
was fired with the thought, :.If this small
puff of steam can move the iron lid, why
would not larger amount move a larger
object? ?" and the whole subject of steam
navigation was there in nutshell.
The quick wit of woman discovered
the strange force now known as Galvan-
ism. The wife of celebrated savant,
Galvani, of Bologna, Italy, was one day
idly looking at some dead frogs, just
skinned, for some purpose of scientific in
vestigation, when suddenly the legs moved
cOnvulsively. She called her husbands
attention to the phepnmtnon, aud soon
from that one small starting point he
evolved the wonderful theory aud principle
of the Galyanie battery.
Glass is made from melted sand, as all
schoolboys know, but the discovery was.

richly covered with myrtle, that lies touch
ing the base of the monument. The name
of John Wilkes Booth appears upon the
obelisk and it is said that in this grave the
actor was buried. was told by one of
the cemetery men, with whom had quite
talk about Clarke, the London comedian,
that John Wilkes Booth is buried in this
lot He seemed quite indignant that |
doubted his veracity, and upon questioning
him, told me that his father, Il think it
was his father, had seen the burial which
was one night, and if remember Alright,
near the stroke of twelve. How wierd and
spectre-like must have been that scene,
when the enemy of several millions of peo-
pie was consigned to an unhallowed grave,
perhaps, as we may imagine, surrounded
by the phantomatic shadows called into
being by his unearthly deed.
Standing here in the Booth lot, the
family vault in which rests Henry Winter
Davis. the noted orator, may be seen across
the road.
A queer monument and one not failing
to attract all passersby, was erected to the
memory of Wildey, the founder of Ameri-
can Odd Fellowship, by the Brotherhood
of Maryland.
William Warren, the noted commedian,
died in this city October 10, 1852. His
grave is in an old lot upon the side of the
highest hill in the cemetery.
Crowning the top of this hill, named in
his honor, is the McDonogh statue. From
the base | copied the following from the
pen of McDonogh:
''The conclusion to which have arrived
is, that without temperance, there is no
health; without virtue, no ardor; without
religion, no happiness; and that the sum
of our being is, to live wisely, soberly, and
righteously."
Gen. Henley sleeps beneath the spread
ing branches of stately trees, and several
others might be mentioned whose graves are
near this spot, but having nearly made the
circuit to the gate, permit me to stop at
one more grave, the last to be mentioned.
1t is where Major Samuel Ringold is bur-
led Underneath the raised stone, con-
cealed where the grass grows in the shade,
the faint chirp of cricket was the only
sound to be heard How different is this
quietness from the confusion of battle,
where, at Palo Alto our hero was mortally
wounded, and gave his life for his country
at Corpus Christi, May 10, 1916. In the
same lot is his brother Cadwalder Ringold,
who died rear admiral in the U. s. Navy
in 1867.

Loudon Park Cemetery.

On the old Frederick road, with WHICH
is connected so much of story ard legend
in Maryland history, a few miles from the
western section of the city and beyond
Gwynn's Falls, is an imposing arch break
ing through wall covered with luxuriant
growth of Virginia creeper, and here and
there the half concealed poison oak, while
abOye, along the entire length of the wall,
spread the shading branches of large old
woodland trees, the limbs of one tree clasp
ing those of another forming continuous
bower of shade along the dusty road. I'm
mediately opposite this entrance is long
avenue leading to the Monastery of St.
Joseph, whose stone walls and gray colored
roof are caught sight of, now and then,
through the surrounding branches,
Passing beneath the portal | entered
koudon Park Cemetery. From this RoiRt
radiate three roads, the one to the right
leading to the Mausoleum and the hill
known as Confederate Hill where are bur
led the Confederate dead; the second pro-
ceeds into the centre Of the cemetery, and,
from this one branches the third, which
takes the traveller to the eastern section of
the park. Selecting the first named, [
proceeded down the road, now crossing to
the right, then back again to the left, ever
trying to find the most shade from the
MONDAY sun.

bank were seen many geraniums bright in
their clusters of red bloom, | eame in sight

old stone SO motionless, takes life and darts
into its hole, but soon its little head appears

quietness lowering about this spot that tho
traveller feels the impressiveness Of the
scene. What a contrast from here to the
place where burst the screaming shell and
the whistling of the rife ball was heard on
all sides, and ever and anon the hoarse shout
of the officers rose above the battles roar.
But now, those who sleep within these
humble graves have heard their last COM
