The Popular widow.

There is no gainsaying the fact that
the widow is the most popular woman
who fits across the maelstrom Of social
life. But the law of compensation sets
the price On all the favors of fate, and
the widow, however gloomy or shining
her environments, is no exception to
the rule. Are you a loved and loving
wife, with the strong right arm Of the
best of men to shield and protect you
from the world and its calumny, Then
know that the removal Of that arm
means your own transformation in the
eyes Of the world to a person answering
to al. entirely different description. The
world steps up higher in order to OBJ
tain a better point Of view, and it fer.

STRIKES IN GREAT BRITAIN.

Nearly Half the Disputes Of l8U2
Settled by Ccnciliatory Methods.
The Westminster Gazette prints the
report Of the labor correspondent Of the
London Board of Trade on the strikes
and lockouts Of 1892 in Great Britain.
The total number were 692. OF these
345 were settled either by mutual con-
Citation or by mediation and sixteen
by arbitrati IN. The remainder were

Notwithstanding the peaccable and sat

Der of these strikes. the cost Of the re-
mainder was very heavy. The weekly
loss of wages is estimated Mt about
$2.4O0,OOO. The loss on use of capital Ia
placed Mt $95,OOO,OOO. The cost Of re.
starting works and resisting strikes ia
estimated at $1.1OO,OOO. The known
amount Of aid voted by other unions
is $4,000, but this is only a small pro.
portion Of the aid actually furnished.

Boards al Souls,

In Russia it was the ommol belief
up to the time Of Peter the Great that
beardless me- We're also sO.,;ess and
that a man who prrposely admitted of
having his heard matycd could never
enter heaven. The great Peter above
referred to ordered his heathcns to
"shave up" so rs to appear more civ
ilized, and when they refused to CON-
ply with lis cdict lie tihed the wealthy
and middle classes 100 rabies for each
beard that was permitted to grow
and cach peasant aud labo-cr q cOpeck
for tie same privilege. Finally the

would be able to distinguish them from

Contradictory.

A year or two after our late war
Jefferson Davis held a reception at
the house of one Of his Maryland
friends. Hare he met many people
who not only sympathized with him
in his grief over the fortunes OF the
South, but had also a warm personal
feeling for him.
Through the kindness OF Horace
Greeley and Others he had Just been
released from Fortress Monroe, where
he had suffered SO long and intensely.
Among those who 1ocked to see him
was one old man who had evidently a
good deal more depth OF feeling til III
orderl,ness OF thought and speech.
"Wken, after quite q long stay, he
was about to depart for home, this
old gentleman grasped Mr.. Davis
warmly by the hand and exclaimed,
tervently, "Good-by, Mr.. Davis! May
you live forever; aud when you die,
