Although no home we're half so fair;
No simplest duty Is forgot.

She doeth little kindnesses
Which most leave undone. or despise;

And g1veth happiness or peace,

Blessing she is; God made her so,
And deeds of week day holiness
Fall from her nOlSelesS as the snow.
Nor hath she ever CHANGED to know
That aught were easier than to bless.
She Is most fair, and thereunto
Her life doth rightly harmonic:
Feeling or thought that was not true

Hath never lost its fresh perfume
Though knowing well nat life hath room
For many blights and many tears.

An amusing case is to be tried in one of the
courts of Paris soon, in which the most prom

of 1890, on the anniversary OF her birth her

Getting no satisfaction at the time the
dealer addressed a letter to the queen in
which was the following passage:

Her ma esJy did not deign to reply to this

The Death Penalty.

There is in congress a bill, introduced
by Representative Curtis of New York,
having for its purpose the abolition of the
death penalty, in so far as the federal
courts are concerned Mr.. Curtis has for
number Of years been seeking to get sim
liar laws passed in the several states, but
so far there are only three states In the
union that infict no capital punishment
Michigan, Rhode Island and Wisconsin.
And in one of those states, Michigan.
there is a strong movement in favor of
rehabilitatiug the gallows. For there is
at present in the Lansing prison an incor-
rigible criminal whose record during the
past two years has proved an exception
ally strong argument in favor of death
penalty. He has committed four wanton
m rdars, one of them while in prison I'M
der the extreme sentence permitted under
the statutes.
Mr.. Curtis argues in favor of his BILL
that whereas, during the first thirty
seven years of the republic the spirit and
letter of the criminal laws were supported
10y public sentiment which is necessary
to the successful enforcement of criminal
laws, and So per cent of those tried
were convicted, the statistics for lS90-'92
show that the average of convictions
was less than 20 per cent, and the aver
age of executions very much lower This
condition. he concludes, is because public
sentiment is no longer in favor of the ex-
IRENE penalty. In those states that pre-
scribe death as the penalty for the great,
| no, .1e 81 ~ .f
homicides have increased, while the per
centage of legal executions has dimin-
ished. AT the same time lynchings have
! increased in number.
The argument is unique. tits, in effect,
that familiarity with the death penalty
breeds contempt for it, and that while
public sentiment is averse to death as
legal punishment for the several crimes
for which il is in1icted-as evidenced bv
the decreased percentage of convictions
the people will take the law into their
own hands and infiict death for those
same crimes, as evidenced by the in
creased percentage of lynchings
1t would probably be nearer correct to
place the responsibility for the decreased
number of legal executions upon the law
yers whose wits discover loopholes
through which criminals crawl, and the
responsibility for lynchings, in a great de-
gree, upon the hardness of the law in
visiting deserved punishment upon Grim
inals in cases where there is no doubt of
their guilt, and the details of whose
crimes are particularly exasperating.
The delay of justice in the case of Prem
dergast of Chicago is a case in point. No
more dastardly murder was ever com
mitted, yet the murderer has laughed at
the law for nearly year.
Public sentiment is not so much against
the death penalty as it is against the
sharp practices that are sometimes re-
sorted to defeat the law. Lynching is a
protest against laxity in administering
the law, as well as a swift punishment of
the criminal. The time has not come for
the abolition of the death penalty.

The report of the chief of the
bureau of industrial statistics of
Pennsylvania says there were fifty
three strikes in that state during
1893 and that not one Of them was
successful. The number Of persons in
volved in the strike was 1905, and they
lost in wages Sl,395 423. Such statistics
should prove a powerful argument against
strikes. But the probabilities are that
their lesson will not be learned aud that

In the light of science, the future of the
Georgia watermelon appears to be ahso-
lutely. boundless. There are few Geor-
gians to the manner born who do not know
that the watermelon contains latent pow
ers capable, when stirred up, of making a
man feel like he had swallowed a whole
machine shop full of whirling wheels
but how many knew that the luscious
Kolb gems, Georgia "rattlesnakes" and
all other varieties of watermelons were
green and red storehouses of electrical
energy Yet that is what an English
electrician has written in the Electrical
World. He says twelve ripe melons, con-
nected in series with copper and zinc
wires, inserted top and bottom, will give
an electrical current strong enough to
ring a bell. Only ripe melons will do
and the ripper they are, the stronger the
current. When they are sour, but not in
ferment, the current are strongest. He
adds that a battery of 10000 watermelons
would run a street car at the rate of
twelve miles an hour. If the Englishman
is correct, therefore, it will be seen that
the possibilities of the watermelon are
limited only by the ingenuity Of man and
the capacity Of the melon patch. One of
these days, when the country is check
cred with macadamized roads. the Geor-
gia farmer may come up TO town in an
electric carriage propelled by a water
melon motor, meanwhile leaving the
hired men on the farm ginning cotton.
grinding corn and pressing cider with
other watermelon electrical apparatus.
Who can say, indeed, that before the
close Of the present century the water
melon patches Of Georgia will not vie
with the mighty Niagara ia the genera

A labor difficulty in Boston has within
a few days been settled on plan the de-
tails of which might with profit be
studied by both employees and employers.
The contractors of the city, owing to close
competition, concluded they could afford
to pay their bricklayers only 80 cents an
hour The bricklayers demanded 45 cents
an hour. But they did not go on strike.
They asked for arbitration, meanwhile
continuing at work. Five arbitrators
were appointed, but they failed to reach
an agreement. Employees and employers
were disappointed; but still there was no
strike. The bricklayers proposed to
leave the whole matter to one man of
unquestioned integrity and ability. The
employers agreed. MIR. William Lloyd
Garrison was made the referee. After
hearing both sides he fixed the rate at AZ
cents, and an agreement was signed.
