An Eight-hour Day In England.

The s-hour day, which is the aspira-
ton of organized labor in this coun-
try, is to be made the subject of prac-
teal experiment in the great iron works
of Stafford. near Manchester The effort
is to be made to reconcile the economic
objections which have been held to be
irreconcilable. That is, the workmen,
who have been laboring 80 hours week,
are to endeavor to turn out an equal
product by the labor of 4S hours. If by
punctuality, energy and increased activ-
ity they can show this to be possible, the
experiment will be a success, their wages
will remain as now, and the S-hour day
will be established. Common

A Bit of Clnssic PuIpit Wit.

Congressman Mckinney, who ran as the
nominee for governor of New Hampshire,
rarely gets the worst of it in repartee. Mr..
McKenney was parson before he became
a congressman and can deliver a sermon or
make speech with equal ease. With him
originated one of the classic stories of pulpit
wit. During canvass Mr.. McKenney was
interrupted in the midst of a public prayer
by a man who persisted in shouting Loud
erl" Mr.. McKenney could not ignore the
call, so he merely looked at the interrupter
and coolly said 81 wasn't addressing you,
sir. | was addressing the Almighty. San

PREVENTION BETTER THAN CURE.

1t is no easy thing to cure lung trouble
when it once fairly gets a hold upon the
system. 1t can easily be prevented by the
use of ALLCoCK's Porous PLAsTERs. Just
as soon as any intimation of soreness about
the lungs or stiffness of the joints appears,
put on one of these plasters, and you will
be sure to gain great advantage.
So also with rheumatism. A cold is a
comparatively slight thing. The applica-
ton of an ALLooCK's Porous PLASTER to
any part affected by it will not only re-
lieve, but overcome it. If, however, the
cold gets firm hold on the joints and
muscles, rheumatic pains are not so quick
ly overcome. To cure is good, to prevent
is better.

no such award was given to it.

La order to facilitate work In the
land department at Washington, COM
missioner Lamoreaux will introduce
a bill, establishing a system OF land
boards in connection with his Office.
These boards, II established, will take
up and decide all contests and dis
putes, thus relieving the commissioner
from personally acting on all cases as
now required by law to do, and OK
pediting the hearing and determin-
alton of accumulated as we'll az new
business. Such measure should
meet with the cordial support of
western members, as u great deal of
inconvenience, annoyance and hard
ship has often resulted from the ex-
asperating delays in disposing of inn
portant land cases, The probabilities
are, if such boards are vorganized, the
present generation may see some
action taken in the settlement of the
Hastings & Dakota land cases, that
have been pending for years before
this department.

Winter Tours.

Those of us who have not the
money or the time to get away from
rigors of Northern winters, may go
into ecstasies over the scenes of"Snow
Bound" which the genius of Whittier
has SO fascinatingly portrayed, and
pretend we like cold weather-but
more fortunately situated mortals, like
the birds, flee southwards when the
snow comes. Our country is so extensive
that it is not necessary for us, like the
English, to go where foreign tongue
is spoken when we wish to escape
winter, as our own South holds
hundreds of delightful resorts, where
flowers blooms and birds MARBLE while
the Esources of the Mississippi and
Hudson are sealed with ice. Florida,
Alabama, North Carolina, Mississippi,
Texas and California offer attractions
Of scenery, yerdure and climate in
endless variety, and so well is the
United States now gridironed with
railroads, that most of these charming
places are easily reached by railroad.
For our readers, the choice will
naturally be to go by the Burlington
Route, which has two lines from
the northwest-to Chicago and St.
Louis by which the traveller can con-
meet with the lines which, penetrate
the southern states and California. For

Little Worlds.

The bodies called asteroids are sup
posed to be fragments of exploded plan
cts or comets that belong to our solar
system. They circulate around the sun
at intervals between Jupiter and Mars,
filing gaps, SO to speak. That they are
round is necessary consequence Of the
operation Of the law of attraction; that
they are worlds like the rest Of the plan
cts is reasonable conclusion. They are
discovered by means of photograph
plates affixed to powerful telescopes. At
last accounts there were already SD Of
these baby planets, and they were still
coming. Twenty-one undoubted new
ones were discovered in 1893, and it was
not a particularly good year for aster-
ODDS either. In size they are to the other
planets as Rhode Island is to Texas.
It Is quite within the bounds Of proha-
bility that some of these little fellows
may be inhabited. A toy terrier is just
as much of O dog as $50 pound st. Beg
nard dog, is he not? and he often makes
considerably more noise. It is an intef.
esting speculation as to the inhabitants
Of these toy planets. Many Of them ape
probably not more than 10 or 90 miles IN
diameter, 60 miles around. It would be
the easiest thing possible for an asteroid'
ian to say to his friend: s'Come, Let hs
hitch up that last new pair Of trottefa
and take spin around the world today.

ingly sociable it would all be tool Every.

CORRECTION.

The Pioneer Press in notes and
queries says in reply to the question
chow long does ehattei mortgage
hold good, and can it be renewed
without consulting the mortgagor,"
that eas between the parties it holds
good for six years from the time it be-
came due, or the date of last nayment
thereon. AS against other creditors
of the mortgagor it holds good for
two years from the date of fling
thereof in the proper Office. AS be-
tween the parties it cannot be re.
newed without the consent of the
mortagagor expressed or implied, but
as to creditors of the mortgagor, the
filing thereof as notice to them may
be renewed without consulting the
mortgagor."
We are surprised that SO mislead-
ing land incorrecta reply should be
given in the columns of paper OF
such high standing and infuen.e As
regards the six years Tina the answer
is correct, for this like other written
obligations such as notes and ac-
counts, outlaw in time named. As
against other creditors of the
mortgsgor, the answer is incorrect, the
law of 1887, making chattel
mortgage hold good "for two years
after the debt becomes due" not as
above stated "two years from the date
of fling thereof" The last paragraph is
misleading, as the law while provid-
ing, that chattel mortgages may be
renewed from year to year, makes no
reference as to obtaining the consent
of the mortgagor.
