Photography as a Cure for Drunkenness.

We commend this story to the attention of
our temperance contemporaries, ''merely add
ing" as Mr.. Richard Swiveller would say, that
''if it isn't true. it's very good" "A woman in
Salemvlle, Pa, determined that her husband
should know how he looked when he was drunk
She knew how he looked we'll enough, and need
ed not that any man should tell her. Her
children also knew by sad experience, but the
man himself had a very imperfect idea of the
state of his case. SO once, when he came home
and fell into maudlin slumber, she sent for
photographer to come forthwith, and on his ar
rival she set before him his work. She ordered
the photographer to photograph her husband as
he sat in the chair. The photographer did his
work, and did it WE'LL and when the photograph
was finished and laid beside the husbands place
at breakfast it was revelation, and the sobered
gentleman experienced decidedly new sensa-
ton. There was no need of explanation; the
thing explained itself. There was no chance for
contradiction; the sun tells no lies. There was
no room for argument; reform has taken
place. "-Scientifc American.

LABOR AND CAPITAL.
BY Member of Glass ID.

Why is there so much ilI-feeling between the
labOring man and his employer? I believe
four-fifth of it is all wrong and uncaled for. 1
have heard men who were receiving ten dollars
per day complain, claiming they were ground
down by the money-pOwer. Now, were they?
No. When such men relate a long list of
grievances the idea naturally occurs that it
would be good thing to grind such men little.
Any man receiving fair wages has no cause for
complaint. "But," says labor, I'VE do not receive
fair wages.' Let us see whether it does or does
not; striking an average between the highest
and lowest wages paid for common labor we
find that 1t is $3.50 per day, or $500 per week.

Another Prize Paid.

A prize of $50 has been awarded to d. f.
Cornell, of Westtield, Pa, for an improvement
in lathe carriages. The prize is the monthly
award of the we'll known patent firm of John
Wedderburn & Co.. who give this sum each
month for the best and simplest invention
brought to their attention during the preceding

and had but little experience in mechanical
work when he made this invention. Other

Furnishing Prisoners in China,

The unhappy prisoners were logged as they
were ANONYMOUSLY paraded round and dragged
mercilessly along. for they could hardly move,
each having a large wooden collar-board, 3
feet by 80 feet. and SO inches thick, attached
to his neck. The board is in two parts. each of
which contains two semcircular apertures.
The half boards are screwed together, SO as to
form huge collar frame, leaving the head and
one of the hands visible above. chain is
attached to the board, by the other end of which
the warden drags the prisoner. On the board
are inscriptions in Thibetan and Chinese. giving
an account of the nature of the crime and
penalty inflicted. The poor wretches were
ready to sink under the weight of the board. but
this they were not allowed to do; whenever one
attempted to sit down the whip of his cruel
warder served to keep him up.-Sarat Chandra
Das, in the Nineteenth Century.
