The total cost of the Brooklyn
strike is put at trifle over $4,000, 900.
And to what purpose? Who has got
any good out of it? If the companies
were, as charged, violating the law by
requiring the men to work overtime
it did not need the expenditure of $2.-
OOO,O to put All end to that. A
simple court proceeding would have
remedied it. As it 10, we have had
some weeks Of disorder, a great de-
struction OF property, and now there
are probably 5000 men in Brooklyn
out of employment and without any
prospect OF regaining it. They will
struggle along through the winter as
they may. Some of them will get
back their jobs later, some will have
to go elsewhere, some must be helped
by public or private charity. These
are visible consequences, and evil
ones. But where does the good come
INF What has labor gained by it!
That is what we want to know and
would like to have some champion OF
the strike explain.

FRANK Merchant of Xy.,l,Ia IN

FRANK Merchant, OF Wallula, tn Q
supposed runaway, has returned to his
home quite as Unexpectedly as he left
it. The only explanation he gives for
his sudden inclination to travel Is that
he, having some money OF his own,
wanted to take a trip, spend it, and
have some fun.

rem, and we have to recognize the fact
that it is men and women without ex.
perience, yet men and women, that
we are called upon to aid, enhearten
and bid godspeed down the way ol
love. Every word spoken to them re.
garding courtship and matrimony
should be rich with the essence OF
practical common.sense. Romance
and sentimentality are we'll enough
in poetry and fiction; it is really q
composite OF joy, sorrow, success, dis.
appointment, serenity, vexation; it is
the average sum of human expert
ence.
Courtship is an effort to choose q
mate for life. Two homemakers are
considered a co-partnership; the fate
of unnumbered future generations ID
being settled. II We look straight into
the countenance of nature and at the
same time keep fully aware OF what
civilization expects, we shall feel the
immense importance of what is going
on yonder where the young man and
his sweetheart sit apart from the
crowd. A sacred contract is being ne.
gotiated, and upon the outcome of q
few million contracts like that depends
the whole future of the human race.

Soap is not an agreeable dentifrice,

Measuring an Acre.

Few farmers know the size of theil
fields or how many acres they contain
It is desirable-in fact, indispens sable
for good work that a farmer should
know this. Good cotton cord, the siz.
Of . plow line, should be kept for this
purpose.
To make one, buy 81 feet OF cotton
rope, one inch round, fasten ring al
each end, and make these rings pre-
cisely 66 feet apart. This is four rods
Tie piece OF red rag in the center.
One acre of ground will be q piece
four OF these cords long and two and g
half wide, equal to 16x10 rods, making
l6O square rods to an acre.
The advantage of the rings is that
one person can measure by driving 8
stake in the ground to hold the rope
while he stretches it out. The rope
should be soaked in tar and then dried
This will prevent its shrinking.
Last year q neighbor of the writer
had heavy sod plowed by contract al
$3.50 per acre. Three persons stepped
II off. One said it was four acres; an
other made it little over five, and
the third said it was 81 acres.
The contractor sent over and got
this rope, and all five men measured it,
and it was found to be just three and
a half acres. He had paid to have the
grass cut off it for three years at 81
per acre, or S. each season, counting
it to be FIVE acres in extent, thus losing
$3.50 through ignorance.

KATE FIELDS WASHINGTON sizes the
situation up as follows: "When vir-
tue pays better than vice; when
sweating shops are abolished; when
public schools teach girls to earn their
own living rather than to despise Ia
Dor and to walk the streets; when
alleged good women cease to welcome
libertines and cast stones at every
possible Magdalen; when these same
good women decide there shall be one
code of mortals for both sexes; when,
in fact, the followers of Christ practice
what they preach, the social evil will
disappear-not before. Laws are worse
than useless in presence of ignorance

was worth another an while, who
possessed the knowledge of grammar and

it out. Now. that was a man who had
genius; he had a talent the most indubit-
able, and he got handsomely paid In spite
of his lack of grammar, because, after

I do not know whether 1t has been duly
considered that, during the reign of the
late peace-loving Gear, the Russian out
posts have advanced hundreds of miles
towards the frontier Of India without
causing serious approximations to the rul-
ers on the Hooghli and on the Thames?
It may we'll be asked whether this policy
of the late poliey-loving Gear will be re-
peated and Initiated by his peace-loving
successor, and whether despite all agree

will not again be deceived by the ac-
