Keir Hardie, labor agitator-who
made a resolution of congratnlation
upon the birth of an heir to Engian mas
throne the occasion for a vulgar and
brainless attack upon the venerable
institutions of his country. Let us
grant that monarchy is doomed in
England and everywhere else. yet the
cause of liberty or civilization is not
advanced by brutality of language or
conduct. The mar who lacks respect
for the historic past. who fails to pay
tribute to institutions which for
centuries have aided in the progress
of the world, is totally unfit to guide
the destinies of mankind for the
present or the future.

Q The vertical system of handwriting
which was introduced into the Samuel
Ready school in Baltimore several
years ago, is now occupying the atten-
ton of a number of northern edu-
Gators, who advocate its use in the
public schools It is being introduced
in many schools, and its advocates
say it promises to be the penmanship
of the future. It is said the Samuel
Ready school was the pioneer in in
PRODUCING the vertical system into
this country, having begun its use
when the institution was opened
in September, 1887. The little
pupils there have acquired remark
able ease and proficiency in
their penmanship, which presents the
rare combinations of perfect legibility,
mature style and attractive appear
ance In the vertical handwriting the
writer sits squarelv in front of the
desk, with body erect, and the pen is
held in an easy, straight position.
Miss Helen j. Rowe, principal of the
Samuel Ready school, says she has
found that the objection which some
have made to the vertical system, that
it destroys individuality in handwrit-
ing, is not based on good grounds
After the pupils have acquired ease in
writing, she says, their individuality
quickly shows in their penmaL- Up,

GIadstone.s Address.

England's Grand Old Man has given
an eloquent exhortation upon the
needs of the times. Mr.. Gladstone
letter to his Midlothian supporters is
one of the notable utterances of recent
times. He sums up the history of the
last sixty years as the greatest legis-
lative and administrative period of
British annals, whose prominent note
is that of emancipation, political,
social, moral, intellectual. He con-
templates the future with some fore
bodings. Therei is ripening. he thinks,
a period of possibly greater moral
dangers, which will bring a great or
deal to those classes now becoming
largely conscious of power, who have
never heretofore been subject to its
deteriOrating influences. AS last
word, he warns the new depositaries
of power against the mistake of their
predecessors:
''Now is the time for the true friend
of the country to lemind the masses
that they owe their present political
elevation to no principles less broad
and noble than these-the love of
liberty, and of liberty for all without
distinction of class, creed, or country,
and the resolute preference of the in
terests of the whole to any interest, be
it what it may. of narrower scope

The Modern Orchard.

A change has come over public
opinion. The thick setting of trees in
orchards has been largely abandoned.
and wide planting is the general prac-
tice. Such excellent results have been
obtained from the change that. many
farmers have gone still
further. Observing that the trees at
the ends of the orchard were always
the most fourishing. they naturally
set to work to discover the cause for
the difference. The explanation was
soon found in the greater amount of
all. and sun the end trees received, and
the more extended feeding ground for
the roots
Nowadays the tendency among pro-
gressixe growers is to plant a single
row of. trees around q field, and a
double row directly across he center
Of the feld. This gives each tree the
advantages formerly possessed by the
end trees alone. It also makes the
orchard less dispersed than it would.be
if the center double row were omitted,
and offers facilities for eultivating and
gathering the fruit as speedily as

AN INVENTIVE GENIUS.

Discovers Labor Saving Device for
Handling Wood.
a New York wood dealer, who han
dies many cargoes of cordwood an
nually, finding that the time con-
sumed in unloading carts at the yard
amounted to a considerable item of
expense, has invented cart by which
this item is eliminated entirely. The
cart has horizontal platform hung
low between pair of wheels on crank
axle. The platform is held in place by
button shutting into slot in the
forward part of the frame of a cart.
The driver backs up to the string
piece on the wharf and his cart is
loaded. Then he drives to the yard
and when he is at the spot where it is
desired to unload the wood he simply
turns the button and releases the plat
form and the platform tips backward,
and thus the cart unloads itself. The
driver never stops at all-he just keeps
right on to the wharf again. The
operation is so extremely simple and
SO obviously economical that it is a
delight to the eye of even the most
casual observer.

A sinking Country.

Col. E j. Corthell, an engineer of
note, who is now making surveys for
SIS, 900, 600 bridge across the Missis-
sippi near New Orleans, says that the
city is steadily sinking, He says that
there is movement on foot among
eminent engineers to have an investi-
cation made into the delta country
with view to ascertain how much
sinking there has been during the last
thirty years. 1t is a fact that the en-
tire delta country is gradually sink
ing. From a number of bench marks
made by surveyors years ago on trees,
etc, on the gulf coast, and a compari-
son of the mean level of the gulf now
with what it was twenty years ago, in
connection with the present bench
marks, the fact has developed that the
delta coast has sunken at least a foot
within the past thirty or forty years.
There is no doubt that the city of New
Orleens is some six inches lower than
it was forty years ago The intention
is to ascertain the exact sinking of the
earth and to investigate the causes
which have produced it.

The cables have been made by Sic
mems Bros. & Co., whose factory at
Woolwich, England, has been work
ing night and day to complete the
order, so that the cable may be laid
during the summer. Altogether 2, 2o1
nautical miles of cable have been
made, and these consumed 495 tons of
copper wire, 315 tons of gutta percha,
SIS tons of jute yarn, 3, oOp tons of
steel wire and l. O75 tons of compound
and tar, making a total weight of
$3.50 tons. The order for the cable
was given Nov. 81 of last year, and
rapid work was begun at once.
The cable is largely made by ma
chinery, and the twisting of the wire
and covering with tar and gutta percha
are done by automatic apparatus. The
deep sea portion of the cable, which is
the smallest part of it in size but the
longest in length, was manufactured
at the rate of five nautical miles per
day by one machine, and there being
ten machines of this kind at work
there were fifty five miles of deep-sea
cable turned out every twenty -four
hours The shore ends of the cable,
however, required much more time to
manufacture. It is necessary that
these should be very large and strong.
As long as the cable lies along the bed
of the ocean it is out of harms way.
No storms, however violent, can reach
it. 1t is not affected by any change of
the temperature, and it is too deep to
be molested by fish or any kind of ma
rine creature.
It is therefore only necessary in 4he
deep-sea portion of the cable that the
little copper wires in the CORE
which convey the message, be thor
oughly insulated and kept dry. This
is accomplished by their being covered
with coating of jute and gutta-
percha, over which is sheathing of
small steel wires. This sheathing in
creases in strength and protective
power as the shallow water is APP
preached, and there are seven differ
ent sizes in the new cables The
''core" containing the copper wires
along which the messages are sent is
carried through all sizes unchanged.
The heaviest part of the cable is that
which is near the shore, where
the motion of the waves may wash it
to and fro among the rocks and stones,
that would otherwise soon cut it.
Along the banks of Newfoundland
fishing schooners anchor and occasion
ally pick up the cable, and that con-
tingency has to be provided for in
weight and strength.

August 16, 1858, that the first message
was sent under the Atlantic. but the
cable broke down twenty-three days
afterwara and communication was not
resumed until July, 1866, since which
time it has been uninterrupted.
The original charge for a message,
while there was only one cable in ex-
istence. was SIS per word, but the lay
ing of new cables with consequent
competition, has brought the price
down to IS cents per word, and. as
result, the business has enormously in
creased. Now one of the cable COM
panies is adding to it's equipment by
putting down two new cables, the
shore ends of which are now being
laid. No cables had been laid during
the previous ten years, but experiment
in the meantime has shown many i'm
provements, and these have been in
corporated in the new lines

superstition Among Lion-Tamers.

Lion-tamers, while not as super
stitious as gamblers, have certain
pre- udices which affect them strongly.
For instance, they are much averse to
attempting difficult feats on Friday.
and they note the fact that many of
the accidents happen on the thirteenth
of the month. Miss Berg was nearly
killed in Chicago on the thirteenth of
July. William Hagenbecl1 has super
stition peculiar to himself, which is,
that Monday is an unlucl1y day for
him, and he will take no risks with
any wild animals on that day. Another
notion frequently entertained by
tanners is, that it bodies them i'll to go
