States as one, should first cross swords
with Mr.. Hill. At present, the issue
is doubtful. If the men stand pat,
they will surely win, but if there is a
break on the part of even few, it will
be all up. But the day is coming
when organized labor will dictate
terms and when it does come, woe to
the Vanderbilts, the Goulds and the
Hills-and the general public may
take warning, also.

AnIrish Faction Night.

Mr.. lie Finn, in his Seventy Years OF
Irish Life" tells Of the faction fights be-
tween the Coffeys and the Reaskawallahs.
He says:
Members of opposite factions who hap
pened to dwell near each other lived peace
ably together except on the occasions when
they met expressly for fight. Fairs were
the usual battlelelds, though at times
special hour and place was fixed for the
battle. | recollect one that was fought at
Armagh bog. near us, when the CotIeys
were the victors. 4 few were killed, and
many on both sides dangerously wounded.
The old story, often told, that the row be-
gan by one man taking off his coat and
trailing it behind him, saying, Who will
dare to tread on thatY is myth.
II have seen many faction fight, every
one Of which began in the same way, which
was thus: One man wheeled as they
called it, for his party-that is, he marched
up and down, flourishing his blackthorn
and shouting the battlecry of his faction.
Here is Coffey aboo against Reaskawal-
lahs; here is Coffey aboo-who dar strike
Coffey?' 4 darp shouted one of the other
party. Here's Reaskawallah aboo,' at the
same time making a whack with his shil-
lelah at his opponents head. In IN instant
hundreds of sticks are up, hundreds Of
heads are broken. In vain the parish
priest and his curate ride through the
crowd, striking right and left with their
whips; in vain Il few policemen tryto quell
the riot; on it goes till one or the other Of
the factions is beaten and flies"

CirdIiuC tho HOLY Land.

There is now n great railway system in
the course of construction, which will Cir
die the Holy Land from one end to the
other. A French company has secured
concession for a line from Beyroot to
Damascus and has already commenced
work on narrow gauge road. An Eng
lish syndicate is now building n railway
from Haifa to Damascus, which will be
about 40 miles long, starting from Halfa,
finding its way along the northern base of
the range of Carmel TO the plain of Esha-
rion through the valley east of Nazareth.
Leaving Mount Tabor it will cross the Riv-
er Jordan on a trestle, and then to the point
known as Majemeh. where the Little Jor-
dan joins the greater river. At this point
the road will bolder on the southern shore
OF Galie, and almost without curve along
the famous wheat region, Bibicaliy known
as the plains Of Bashau, thence to the south
trn gate Of Damascus.-St. Louis Republic.

A Curious Phenomenon.

A most curious pbenomenon-the action
of solids held in suspension in moving wa
ter-may be practically demonstrated, says
NJ Gallois, by taking a bottle Of white
glass about inches in diameter and with
a fiat bottom, putting into it to the depth
of about one-fifth inch some fine and very
clean silicious sand, such as will not inter
fere with the transparency Of the water,
filing the bottle with this and corking it
SO as to exclude all air. On giving the bot
tie rapid movement Of rotation around its
own axis, either by placing it on a turn
table or by suspending it from previously
well twisted cord, all the sand will be pro-
jected upon the cylindrical sides of the bot
tie by centrifugal force.
This rotation movement of the bottle
will gradually communicate itself to the
water, progressing from the sides TO the
axis, the rotation lasting as long as the
sand adheres to the cylinder. AS soon as
the water turns with the same velocity as
the bottle containing 1t, the sand will, on
the bottle being suddenly stopped, at once
quit the sides and precipitate itself toward
the center of the bottle in the form OF a
cloud, and then reassemble its particles on
the bottom in the form Of cone, having
the same axis AS the bottle, and being high
er as the velocity of rotation Is greater.
Finally, the cone iiattens rs the velocity or
rotation grows less, until the slope Of the
conical surface is the slope of equilibrium
of grains of sand il still ter.-NGw York

Massage and Electricity.

A singular attribute of massage is noticed
by DR.. A. Symons Eccles, who has discov-
cred that it indisputably decreases in a
marked degree the resistance of the skin to
the passage of electrical currents. In this
way the number Of cells necessary in order
to pass given quantity of current through
the skin, in cataphoric and other treatment,
can be reduced and great economy of cleo
tricity effected. DR.. Eccles suggests that
where the alternating constant current is
used for the purpose of percutaneous medi-
cation by saturating the electrodes with
watery solution of the substance selected
for use the effectiveness Of the application
will be materially increased by preliminary
massage The drug will be more rapidly
absorbed just as surely as the resistance Of
the tissues TO the passage of the electric
current will be reduced. The science Of
cataphoresis or the driving into the tissues
by the application Of electric currents of
drugs or medicines, bywhich many injured
parts can be treated that otherwise could
not be reached, is now largely brought into
requisition both in hospital and private
medical practice, and DR. Eccles' discovery
is likely to greatly increase its efficiency

ON THE GREAT PRAlRIEs.
yastness, Isolation and Monotony Reign In
the TreeIrss Plain Stretches.

the TreeIrss Plain Stretches.
IL there be any region in the world where
the natural gregdrious instinct OF mankind
should assert itself, that region IS our
northwestern prgiries, where short, hot
summer is followed by long, cold winter,
and where there is little in the aspect or
nature to furnish food for thought. On ev-
ery hand the treeless plain stretches away
70 the horizon line. In summer it is check
cred with grainfields or carpeted with grass
and flowers, and it is inspiring in its color
and yastness. but one mile OF it Is almost
exactly like another, save where some wa
tercourse nurtures n fringe of willows and
cottonwoods. When the snow covers the
ground, the prospect is bleak and dlsplrlt-
ing No brooks babble under icy armor.
THERE'S no bird life after the wild geesea
ducks have passed on their way south. Inc
silence Of death rests on the vast landscape,
save when it is swept by cruel winds that
search out every chink and Granny OF the
buildings and drive through each unguard-
ed aperture the dry, powdery snow.
In such a region you would expect the
dvelIiugsto be of substantial construction,
but they are not The new settler is too
poor TO build of brick or stone. He haulsa
few loads of lumber from the nearest rail-
way station and puts up frail little house
of two, three or four rooms that looks as
though the prairie winds would blow it
away. Were it not for the invention Of
tarred building paper the fimsy walls
would not keep out the wind and snow.
With this paper the walls are sheathed I'M
der the weatherboards The barn is often
a nondescript affair of sod walls and straw
roof. Lumber is much too dear to be used
for door yard fences, and there is no inclo-
sure about the house. A barbed wire fence
surrounds the barnyard. Rarely are there
any trees, for on the prairie trees growvery
slowly and must be nursed with care to get
q start. There is saying that you must
first get the Indian out of the soil before
tree will grow at all, which means that
some savage quality must be taken from
the ground by cultivation.
In this cramped abode, from the windows
of which there is nothing more cheerful in
sight than the distant houses Of other set
tiers, just as ugly and lonely, and stacks OF
straw and unthrashed grain, the farmers
family must live. In the summer there Is
q school for the children one, two or three
miles away, but in winter the distances
across the snow covered plains are too great
for them TO travel in severe weather. The
schoolhouse is closed, and there is nothing
for them TO do but to house themselves and
long for spring. Monthly.

The Colon and Its Uses.

A son of Horace Mann, who lives in Wash
ington, has an unusual fashion of signing
all documents. He is Mr.. b: Pickman
Mann and is well known as writer. Mr..
Mann is "a graduate Of Harvard and holds
an important position i'll the patent Office.
The colon which follows the first initial
would be Greek TO the wayfaring man, but
it is only symbol for Benjamin. Some
years ago the American Librarian associa-
ton, Of which Mr.. Mann is a member, was
much exercised over some manner of alb
breviating names so as to decrease the
work of cataloguing, which in large libra
ries is enormous They adopted list Of
common names of persons which should be
abbreviated by using the first letter of the
name followed 10y Il colon. For the sake
of consistency, and believing the custom
would be good one, they adopted the fash
ion.
The late Mr.. Ben: Perley Poore, known
SO long and so favorably in Washington,
used this style long before the company of
learned librarians approved it. The list now
in use is large one Some Of the most com
mon signs are W: for William; IL: for
Henry, and j: for James. Washington

ONLY A PICTURE BOOK.
But 1t Proved a Volume of History to Its
Fortunate Finder

Miss Cora Brown, a writer of this city,
takes considerable enjoyment in providing
about secondhand book stores, and she sell
dom leaves one without bearing away some
quaint prize
She and a sister were pulling over pile
of books in Cornhill store the other day,
when Miss Cora picked up one of the old
time publications of the American Tract
society. 1t was called My Picture Book"
This was the favorite book of my child
hood" she said. Papa gave me copy on
my birthday in 1869, and after time
knew every story in it by heart. Open the
book at random, dear, tell me what the pic
ture is and see low much can remember
of the story"
The sister did as requested, and for sew
eral minutes they amused themselves with
recalling from Miss COra's memory marvel
Gus tales and verses about lambs and bird
les and posies and the like, for the memory
proved to be unusually retentive.
They decided TO buy the book which the
clerk rather contemporary said would be
8 cents As they were walking toward the
door Miss Brown opened the volume again
and CHANGED to look at the fly leaf. Then
she screamed mild little scream, turned
pale, sank into the nearest chair, and sew
eral clerks ran forward, thinking that she
had tainted. But she hadn't.
And right here it is necessary to go back
several years, although it does smack OF
novel writing. In 1869 the browns were
living in Mobile, and in 1874 they came
north, leaving their household belongings,
including books, in a "lireproof' storage
house. On the evening Of their departure
the "hreproof' structure burned down.
Everything in it was-a total wreck, and the
Browns were unable to lind recognizable
scrap of their property.
Mr.. Brown became New York manager
for pianoforte company and remained
with it in that capacity until his death.
Now to return to Miss Cora Brown in
the secondhand book store On the fly
leaf, in the good, familiar hand, she read
this inscription, Cora, From Papa, Jan.
II, 1869"
1t was the only article, so farasis known,
that escaped destruction in the fire ut Mo
bile SO many years ago Boston Globe.
