Prosperity,s Rising Tide.

The Herald in its issue of Monday gives
a partial list of more than 400 factories
which have increased the wages of their
employees, which number over 10000 men.
1t gives another list of go factories that
have increased the wages of their opera
tives, the number of which it could not OBJ
tain.
Almost every day the dispatches contain
announcements of mills Increasing the
wages of their employees. These announce
ments mean that prosperous times nave
come, because when wages are
being increased Industrial essab.
lishments of all kinds have ALI
the orders they can fill. Wages are raised
for two reasons. One is that tie de-
mand for labor is greater than the supply,
and the other is that employers are doing
a profitable business and are will
ing to share their prosperity with their
employees.
The Herald attributes the revival OF bus
mess to the Wilson tariff. There is no
doubt that the tariff is having grea. deal
to do with the Improvement in business
and industrial conditions. 1t is probably
the main factor in the Improvement, but
the people would have hardly had The
courage to take advantage of the new
conditions presented by it If they were
not satisfied that the currency would re-
main sound. Their confidence in the cur
rency was restored by the repeal of the
purchasing clause of the Sherman silver
purchasing act and by the action taken
by the Cleveland administration to keep
the silver dollar on a parity with the gold
dollar. One of the most prosperous periods
of the country was that of the Walker
tariff-a democratic tariff-and it looks
as if the country was going to be ex-
tremely prosperous under the Wilson tar
iff, another democratic tariff The Repub-
lican party is going to have a hard time
to convince the people that such tariff
as that bearing the name of Mckinney is
a good thing for the country They have
tried it and they know what the result of
the trial was.
Not only are wages being increased, but
the wages paid have a greater purchasing
power than they had when the Mckinley
tariff was in force. A dollar will buy
more now than it would before the Wilson
tariff was adopted. Wage-earners, there
fore. are being benefited in two ways,
namely, their wages are being increased,
and their earnings have a crater purchas-
ing power. Under the Mckinley tariff
considerable percentage of their earnings
went into the pockets of projected million
aire monopolists. Under the Wilson tariff
this percentage can be applied to making
their homes more comfortable

Profit by Past Errors.

Let all the mistakes and shortcom-
ings of the past year help to ward
greater faithfulness and fidelity in the
untrodden paths that be just ahead.
Glorify the old, familiar duties by meet
ing each and every one, not as some
mere happening or accident floating to
us for attention, but as direct appoint
ment sent into our lives from God.
Remember errors of the year that is
gone merely to profit by them. Un-
wholesome brooding never yet mended
a fault, never built a sound stair on
which to ascend to better things. Be
strong, be of good courage. Take leave
stauuchly of the old year, thankful for
its blessings, thankful, too, for its griefs
and burdens, thankful for the swift
forgiveness its mistakes may find,
thankful we can leave its every day and
hour trustingly in the hands of God.

"Skates " or " Skeets.O

When l was little boy my play
mates at country school in southeast
ern Indiana wore " ske is " and went
" skeeting," though the village boys
said skates. counted "skeet" a
curious corruption. Fancy my surprise
at meeting an old acquaintance in far
off land, and in strange company, when
long years afterward l read the passage
in Evelyn's Diary for the year 1862,
in which he speaks of g having scene
the strange and wonderful dexterity of
the sliders on the new canal in st.
James's Park, perform'd before their
Majesties by divers gentlemen and 9TH
ers with Selects after the manner of
the Holanders, with what swiftness
they passe, how suddainly they stop in
full carriere upon the ice," and 80 forth.
The CHI in "scheets" is Dutch, and
therefore sounded like K. Pepys tells
of being at ST. James Park on the same
day: "Where / first in my life, it being
a great frost, did see people sliding
pretty art.' here discovered that the
country boys in the hills of Craig
Township, when they said "skeet,"
were only one or two centuries behind
the fashion, and we're using the word
as pronounced by Charles and his
courtiers when they brought the Every
pretty art" to England. A New York
Journal of 1884 complains of the time
wasted in " skeating" on Collect Pond.
Nowhere is it truer that "all which is
partakes of that which was" than in
language.-The Century.

AnecdOte of ThOrwaldsen.

The characters of two men arc very
fairly brought out in the following
incident: Thorwaldsen, the Danish
sculptor, was absolutely single mind
ed in his devotion to artistic truth
He would never have consented to
falsify what is for the sake of what
ought to be.
Lord Byron, on the contrary, had
SO much small vanity that he could
not resist posing. When in Rome,
the poet went to Thorwaldsen to sit
for statue. He got into position
and assumed an expression of coun-
tenance quite different from his ev-
eryday look.
my lord" said Thorwaldsen,
"be so good as to sit perfectly still
Only, beg of you, do not look so
disconsolate.
This is the expression which
characterizes my face, SAID Byron
Indeed, replied the SCULPTOR
And without any further attention
to Byron's suggestions he worked
away according to his own ideas
When the bust was finished, the
sculptor was quite satisfied with it,
and so were Byron's friends. Only
one person complained, and that was
the poet himself
THAT is not my face" he said
Il look much more unhappy"
He had assumed a certain pose be-
fore the world, and he was deter
mined his expression should bear
him out in it.-Youth' s Companion.

At a Turkish POst.Office Window.

They do not rush things in Constan-
tinople as they do in American cities.
The Turks love ceremony, and have
peculiar notions as to what constitutes
politeness. We walk to the stamp
window and ask for stamp of the de.
nomination we require. The clerk
shoves it out, we put down the money
and depart. The entire transaction
has not occupied minute, and hardly
a dozen words spoken. But in Istam-
boul different scene would be enacted.
Let us stand in the post-office corridor
a few minutes and W .tch the proceed
ings. An elderly Turk, with COR.
geous turban, approaches the window
After series OF very low and obse-
quious salaams, he lays his right hand
upon his heart and begins:

most happy one for thee, SIR"
The official returns the salutation,
and adds:
"What commanded th0u?"
"Wouldst thou vouchsafe thy servant

Learning From the Children.

What mother has not stood over her
sleeping child with remorse for the
hasty reproof, shame for the betrayal of
temper, conviction that she has
mi sed some opportunity that might
have made the little one better or hap
pier? What mother has not blushed as
she recognized in the words of her
child the reflection Of her own wrong
thoughts carelessly expressed in his
hearing? Do we not SOW the seed Of
our own dislikes, criticisms, uncharita-
bleness, in the hearts of our children
who cannot be defended from the
errors of our adult moods? Aud do we
not with repentance and resolve lift
ourselves to higher planes as we realize
what our example will do-what it has
done? In ways like this, known to
every mother, the unconscious monitors
who are growing up around us do for
our development of character all we
hope to do for theirs. The hasty
words repressed, the sudden exercise of
self-control, the exercise of patience in
the cares of motherhood, the earnest
daily endeavor to be all that we want
our children to be, is not this one of
the best recompenses of motherhood?
Does any mother lose in character who
learns as good mothers learn? And
the mothers who have no lofty or wise
apprehension of their responsibility
These also have their recompense-the
awful return of sighted duty. In the
lack of loving gratitude, in the growth
OF wicked passions, Ia the bitterness Of
disrespect they find daily the fruits OF
their self-indulgeuce weakness and in-
difference. The mothers recompense
is sure. 1t may come through toll,
pain, joy, sorrow, affection, but &C.
cording as she accepts her child and its
care as the best gift of God, or tries to
escape the burden of her duty, she
will attain the perfect strength of SYM
metrical character or dwarf and harden
into the ill-proportions OF distorted sell
fshness. In either case 1t is her recon-
pense.-Babyhood.

Our Limitations.

Everywhere we look, we find our life
encompassed by limitations. God has
"beset us behind and before, and laid
his hand upon u.s." We see, also, that
this limitation of life is not the source
of weakness, but of mans highest
power and fame. 1t is not only for lit
tie men in little things, but for human
life at its best and greatest. The
strong man, the great man, whether
hero or artist, poet, thinker or saint,
is not one who bursts the bonds of law
and casts obedience away, but rather
one who walks a narrower, severer
path than weaker men are able to keep.

Harvesting Niagara.

Engineers have estimated that the
total water-power of Niagara Falls is
seven million horsepower. This esti-
mate, to be sure, is in the main only
guess, but when the area drained
into the lakes above Lake On tsrio, and
passing through the Niagara River be
considered, the guess or estimate does
not seem to be too large. The water
surface OF the Great Lakes above On
tario is $4,000 square miles, and the
watershed of these lakes is 100000
square miles-more than tw ce the area
OF Great Britain and Ireland. The
total length of shore-line is 5000 miles,
while the volume of water is 5000
cubic miles, of which Lake Superior
contains almost one-half. The rate of
outflow at Buffalo is from pit 900 to
$4,000 cubic feet per second, while the
fall of the cataract is 1856 feet. The
volume of the water in the lakes
is such that it has been estimated
that even if no rain fell the flow
OF the river would be continued at its
present rate for one hundre years
that is, if the lakes could be gradually
drained. These are very large figures,
but in the main they are the results of
exact measurements. The small water
powers in the world are uneven, and
are affected by floods and droughts, but
this great pc yer at Niagara is as con-
slant as anything in this world can be,
not even the ice in the severest and
longest winter ever known appreciably
changing it. The present plant is in
tended only to utilize $4,000 horse
power, and the turbines now in place
are only for small part of this. Other
turbine wheels will be put in place as
the demand for the power grows. The
general plan of the company contem-
plates the ultimate use of 400, 1000 horse
power on the American side and like
amount in Canada. Such a power would
turn all the wheels within a radius
Of five hundred miles of the Falls. At
the present time considerable part of
the power developed is to be taken
to Buffalo by electric transmission,
and it Is the confident expectation
OF the electricians now at work on
the problem that the power can be
taken as far east as Albany, three hun.
dred miles away, and delivered there
cheaper than power can be generated
by burning coal. II this be 80, then all
the country between Albany and the
Falls will be admirably adapted for
manufacturing, while he Erie Canal
will afford cheap and tolerably quick
transportation, for there seems to be
little difficulty In the way Of hauling
these boats by electrical power.-Har-
per's Weekly.

The Time Service Room, United States
Naval Observatory.

If you happen to make your visit to
the observatory about the middle of the
day, you will see something very inter.
esting going on in what they call the
time. service ROOM" where stands the
big clock that measures out the time
for the who United States as far west
as Colorado. This clock does its work
by electricity, and is CORE cted daily to
the fraction Of second. 1t is con-
nected with the Western Union wires,
which, like the arteries in the human
body, transmit every heartbeat of the
pendulum to all parts of the system, 80
that the telegraph operators in Maine
and Texas hear it's regular tick tack as
distinctly as you who stand within a
foot of it. There is nothing heard now
but the monotonous, regular beat of the
pendulum. You feel somehow as
though you were watching the pulse Of
a very sick person, and had to notice
carefully the least change or irregular
ity. Suddenly one beat misses, and
you glance inquiringly at the preoccu-
pied face of the officer to see if any,
thing is going wrong. "Only a pre-
liminary signal" he says, without
raising his eyes. A few seconds more
and another interruption, longer than
the first, calls sort of "Attention, com.
pany" to the waiting country. The
next instant the minute-hand jerks
itself to the figure ~, an electric bell
rings out sharply, and the noon signal
flashes over the thousands of wires un-
der the officers hand, from north to
south, from east to west, from New
York's great offices to lonely little sta
tons far out on the plains. At the
same moment ball drops from it's po-
sition on top of the navy department,
the steam whistles take up the signal
all over the city, and the whole cOun-
try knows that the sun has crossed the
meridian.-Harper's Weekly.
