CHICAGO. April 9-Tbere is a strong
probability that the employers of labor in
the various building trades will declare a
lockout next W Wednesday and throw from

of the Building League, which is made up

LONDON, April "a curious rumor is
current that Major lie Caron, the British
government spy, who was announced to
have died recently in this city, is not dead
but is now on the way to one Of the most
distant colonies to escape Feniau plot to
kill him. No details of the plot are given
but it is thought that several members OF
the Fenian brotherhood from New York
and elsewhere were detailed to remove
Major lie Caron and that the latter had a
very narrow escape.

Paper on the Walls.

Wallpaper, brown paper, or even
old newspapers, will greatly aid in keep
ing a poultry-house warm. Make good
flour paste; place two or three layers
of paper on the wall. If you will then
apply one or two coats of thick white
wash, the paper will become quite hard,
and will last we'll through the winter.
1t should be removed as summer comes
on, however, in order to avoid provid-
ing harboring- place for lice. After
FASTING the paper on the wall, and apply
ing whitewash as suggested, cheap mus
lin may then be tackled over the paper,
using tin caps or leather.headed tacks,
which will effectively prevent it from
being torn. Paper is a non-conductor
of heat, and two or three thicknesses
make wall alright. 1t is also easily
adapted to uneven surfaces, and is so
cheap that its use is within the reach of
all. We know of nothing that will give
so much benefit in proportion to cost
in poultry-house as paper, and il
saves food by keeping the hens warm,
thus adding to the supply of eggs. 1t
is also an excellent protection against
unseen cracks or holes in the WALL
ETchdnge.

Homemade Candy.

EvERToN TAFFY.-Put a pound of
brown sugar in buttered pan together
with three tablespoonfuls of wat er.
Let it boil until it becomes smooth,
thick syrup. Add half pound of but
ter, stirring well. Let this boil half an
hour. Add lemon flavoring.
ALMOND TAFFY.-Boil together half
a pint of water and pound of brown
sugar for ten minutes. Blanch and slice
through the middle one and one-half
pounds of almonds. Stir them in the
syrup with two ounces of butter. Let
the mixture boil hard for ten minutes.
Pour on well-buttered dish to the
thickness of half an inch.
BUTTERsCoTCH.-U three cupfuls
of New Orleans molasses, two cupfuls
of graduated sugar, three-quarters of
cupful of butter, and very little water.
Cook quickly, about twenty minutes.
Try little in cold water to see when it
becomes crisp. Just before taking up,
add one-third of teaspoonful of bak-
ing soda, we'll mashed and smooth.
Pour into buttered tins and cut as soon

Going into Business.

why do women work." asks Wal.
ter Besant, and then replies that there
are six principal reasons: O Because
their intellectual activity will not allow
them to rest at home. Such woman,
for instance, was George Eliot. There
are intellectual openings for them in
every direction. A woman of this
kind may study medicine, science, his
tory; she may teach as we'll as study;
she may write; she may become jour
nalist or an editor; she may lecture.
Any of these lives is better to such a
brain than the old-fashioned social
round and domestic duties, the en-
broidery, the piano playing and the
small arts. These are the happy
workers, but these are not the average.
(2) Because they must earn money
somehow. Among these are the un-
happy workers, the unwilling workers,
who, 80 long as they have to work for a
living, miss the life they would prefer.
(3) Because they want to make lit
tie more money for dress or for spend
ing. A very considerable class. (4)
Because they have taken up cause,
and feel called upon to speak, act
write and work for it. (5) Because
they have become advanced wome n, u
and they want above all things to sh ow
they are as good as the men. (6) Be.
cause their home lives are so deadly
dull and unsocial, and lonely and vacu.
GUS, and they want change.-SeIected

An Interesting Predicament.

A man who lives in fat near Central
park recently had peculiar experience.
A couple of deaf mutes rented an apart
ment underneath his own and We're
blessed in due season by the arrival of a
bouncing baby with an excellent pair of
lungs. At night the little one woke up
nearly the entire house by its cries, but
through all of it the parents slept until
the tenant above, at the solicitation of
his wife, went down stairs and fairly
forced an entrance. The deaf and dumb
couple resort to many ingenious devices
to overcome the disadvantages under
which they labor. They are unable to
hear their doorbell, so they have ar
ranged piece of colored paper upon
the gong in such way that the paper
futters when the bell rings. By keep
ing a watchful eye on the bell they are
able to receive their visitors promptly,
but their inventive genius has not as yet
devised scheme to indicate the baby's
distress at night.-Neo York Mail and
ETpreSS.

Hotel Life in New York.

At one of'the up town hotels a delight
fully homelike touch is given to life
within its walls by the privilege, when
desired, of having the coffee follow din
ing party into the reception room. In
one particular parlor, which is full of
hooks and embrasures, large and small,
to accommodate groups of various size,
1t is quite common to see the quaint lit
tie table and dainty service set out before
several different companies. The toned
lights and nests of luxurious cushions
make it extremely easy to dawdle indeti-
nitely over this final course, and the
groups dissolve slowly and with evident
reluctance, to keep evening engage
ments.
Turkish coffee is often served in odd
little oriental cups set in standards, quite
like tiny egg cups, and the requisites of
this beverage-to be piping hot and of a
smooth, creamy thickness-are never
missed here.-Ne,o York Times.

An Extraordinary Meteor.

On May 10, 1879, a large and extraordi-
nary luminous meteor exploded with ter
rife noise, followed at slight intervals with
less violent detonations, and struck the
earth in the edge of ravine near Esther
vile, Emmett county, Ia, penetrating to
the depth of IA feet. Within two miles
other fragments were found, one of which
weighed 10 pounds and another about SO
pounds. The principal mass weighed 431
pounds. All the discovered parts aggre-
gated about GAO pounds. The one of ITO
pounds is now in the cabinet of the State
University of Minnesota. The composition
of this aerolite is peculiar in many re-
spects; but, as in nearly all aerolites, there
is a considerable proportion of iron and
nickel.--I,coa State Register.

A Water Cooler.

The Colorado journalist, Mrs. Rom
ney, has patented, among several other
articles, a water cooler which does not
require ice. 1t is covered receptacle,
Of cellular brickware, manufactured of
clay, sawdust and asbestus fiber. In
the process the sawdust is burned out,
leaving the product cellular, or porous.
The receptacle, with the water to be
kept cool within, stands in a tray of
galvanized iron, which holds water to
depth of two or three inches. By reason
Of the porosity of the cooler and the force
Of capillary attraction, the water in
the tray constantly rises through the
cellular walls of the receptacle, and is
asconstantly evaporated-thereby keep
ing the water inside as cool as it is usu-
ally drawn from well or spring

Age OF the Kiss.

Professor Lombroso is an Italian
scientist who has turned his learned at
tention to the subject of kissing. He
has been nosing around in libraries
gathering information, and announces
as the result of his Investigations that
kissing was, until comparatively lately,
an entirely maternal action, and not in
any way peculiar to lovers. He quotes
Homer and the old Indian literature to
sustain his contention, although he
admits that in the modern Hindoo po-
ems twelve kinds of kisses are men
toned. philadelphia Times.

Salt in the Sea.

The amount of salt in the sea waters
of the globe, if extracted, would begreater
in mass than the land, so far us it appears
above the surface. The seas cover 70 per
cent of the earth's surface, estimated at
100000 (German square miles. The
percentage of chlornatrium in the sea is
the same at all depths Assuming that
the average depth of the sea is half
(German) mile, there are then 3,400, 900
cubic miles of sea water. A cubic mile of
sea water contains on the average about
25 kilograms of salt. The 3, 400, 900 cubic
miles of sea water would therefore con-
tain $4,000 cubic miles of distilled pure
salt.-F'rom the German.

CURRENT LITERATURE.
The February Magazines.

PATRIOTIC Americans of limited
means will be glad to learn that their
favorite magazine, Blue and Gray, has
been reduced to ten cents copy, in
stead of twenty-five cents as formerly.
This change of price takes effect with
the February issue, the first edition Of
which is one hundred thousand copies.
If the publishers keep up their existing
standard of excellence, it is hard to see
how they can fail to reach the circula-
ton of quarter of million copies for
which they are striving.
THE Revie,o of Reviews is strong in all
of it's departments. In the " Progress
of the World " the important political,
social and industrial events of the month
are reviewed and their significance
clearly and frankly set forth. This de-
partment alone contains fifty timely
illustrations, chiefly portraits of we'll
known men and women. Among the
portraits are those of President Dole
and his cabinet, and sketches, drawn
from life, of Representatives William
L. Wilson of West Virginia; Charles
F. Crisp Of Georgia.; Thomas B. Reed
of Maine; Benton Mcmillan of Ten
nessee; Thomas l.. Johnson, of Ohio,
and Julius G. Burrows of Michigan.
Apropos of the opening of the Manches-
ter ship canal, the editor discusses that
and various other waterway projects
which are being considered by European
governments.
THE secret of The Cosmopolitan is
not so hard to find, if one looks care

story, GA Rejected Manuscript" is
charmingly illustrated by L. Marold,
who, we believe, makes his first appear
ance in the magazines on this side OF
the water. T. G. Crawford, the Wash.

Hard Times.

The times are hard, and hunger and cold
Threaten and growl at many door;
The VOLTS long cry is fierce and bold,
Borne on the sullen night winds roar.
But this is the hour for courage, Love,
For daring the foe with nerve and skill,
Meeting our care in the strength of prayer,
And waiting and working with steady will.
We greet each other with CHEEKY signs
As we set our battle in brave array;
Closer we draw the household lines,
And calamity meet each dawning day.
Now and then, as the dark clouds rift,
We catch glimpse of the sun on high,
And heartened. together a song we lift
There's always blue in the upper sky.
The times are hard, but the children play,
And we tuck them under the coverlet
When we reach the end of each struggling day.
And the stars in heaven for lamps are set.
Then, Love, we look in each others eyes
And the kindling light of triumph see,
OH what does it matter that times are hard
When have you, Love- and you have me2
