Philadelphia, July 2s.-The schooner

Philadelphia, July sc. w. Archam-
bald Of Chicago. an organizer OF the
American Railway Union, addressed about
100 railroad men this afternoon at meet
ing, with view Of organizing them into
a lodge Of the union. He spoke of the
advantages of joining the union and of the
importance of railroad men organizing.
While admitting the failure OF the strike
Instituted by Debs last summer. and which.
ne said, might have been little prema-
ture, Archambald predicted that when the
union again locked horns with the General
Managers Association, the latter would
have to surrender, and not the union.
The railroad men who were
present listened patiently to Arch
ambald's appeal, as well as to those
of one or two other speakers, but were
evidently not very forcibly impressed with
the Importance or necessity of joining
the union. Not more than twenty signed
the roll OF membership.

If this low estimate of the translator's

A Remarkable Woman, Who Goes Bare
footed In Worth Gowns.
Tho defeated queen of Madagascar,
the third largest island in the world, is,
according to the London Woman, one OF
the most interesting women of the mo.
ment. 1t is true that she has lately been
in trouble, but it seems now that the
chivalrous French government will
leave her almost as we'll off as ever. Her
majesty's great charm lies i'll the orig
ipality Of her manners and of her habiti
Of life. She wears SIS, 900 Worth dresses,
and goes about in them barefooted. She
chews tobacco and drinks champagne al
day long. She imports perfumes from
Paris, but uses palm oil on her hair
Many similar Illustrations of her origi
nality might DO given. Her great passion,
however, was the acquisition of Worth
dresses She Wort them everywhere, nc
matter how injurious to thSm the occu-
patton she was engaged IL might be.
Visitors saw her majesty sitting on the
floor of her palace busily transferring a
meal Of rice, oil and chicken to her
mouth with her fingers, and incidental
ly spelling magnificent Worth creation
of silk, velvet and lace. The revenues
she de1i,ed from her unfortunate peo-
pie o sufficient to purchase her al,
the 3es she needed.

tious details of civilized feminine dress.
For instance, corsets, stockings ant
shoes formed no part Of her wardrobe
Whom her majesty crossed the street OF
wet day, the foreign residents of heI
capital were treated to spectacle which
amused them, but which the natives
gazed at with awe and reverence. I'm
der these circumstances it may be imag
ined that her majesty was very much
panied when she had to 60 to war with
the French, the source of all her fnery.
But they proposed to annex her country
and she had to make stand. She ha-
rangued her people in the streets of her
capital Antananarivo, and told them it
was holy war, and made them swear
to follow to the death. At the first en-
counter with the French they showed
themselves useless.
Now, after march into the interior
of Madagascar, during which they suf-
fered terribly from disease and other
hardships, the French have arrived at
Antananarivo, the capital. At first the
queen fed to the forest. Her supply OF
Worth dresses had been getting low, and
she was in rags. On this account, proba,

be permitted to reign as queen under

who is likely to be more dangerous to
their interests, will be banishe1 from

Tea and Medicine.

Advertising seems nowadays to re-
auire as much training and finesse as
the diplomatic service. The old time
method of giving away crockery,
framed pictures and literature with a
pound of tea is now considered crude
and unconvincing way of inducing
the attention of would be purchasers.
Now it has become the happy privilege
of a tea merchant to retain on his staff
the services Of medical practitioner
and give to every customer a coupon en-
titling him or her to free advice and a
bottle Of medicine.
The medical profession, while realiz-
ing the resource ard genius of this
method of securing customers, has de-
clared that the tea merchant is trespass-
ing on its preserves, therefore has ap-
pealed to its own council to check this
ebullition Of inventive genius and order
the tradesman to desist from mixing Lis
tea with its medicine. London Letter

Whence Comes Croft?

The origin CT ''croft itself, even more
than of its sister words. is "wrop in
mystery" 1t is a very old English
term, appearing in the charters or title
deeds of estates as long ago as the reign
of Edgar, where the phrase Sat the
croft's head is quoted by DR.. Murray,
but it remained long unrecognized in
the literary language. The old English
form, like the modern one, is croft,
meaning an inclosed field. In lowland
Scotch it appears generally in the form
craft, which is still employed in
many derivatives, but the only other
Teutonic equivalent in the sister Ian
guages is the Dutch work "kroft, "
which means "a piece of high and dry
land, pa field on the downs, " "a rocky
headland. In the north of England,
according to Ray, the word croft i'm
plies neighborhood to house, but in
the south it is applied to any small in
closure, near building or otherwise.
DR.. Murray's English dictionary gives
several uses of croft in early time
though not for the most part i'll what
can fairly be called literature "As he
stood in his croft, :" says legal write
of the thirteenth century, whose spell
ing and grammar l mercifully modern
ize. While Piers Plowman writes
Birds come into my croft and crop my
wheat" EARLY in the sixteenth century
Fitzherbert defines curtylage (what
ever that may be) as ga lytell croft G.
court to put in oatell fer TYNE. u
the seventeenth century the phrase oc-
ours, "All ould tenants shall have o
croft and a meadow" which sounds as
if it came out of a crofter commission
report. But it was Milton who first en-
nobled the pleheian word by admitting
it frankly into immortal poetry. The
spirit in "Comus" says to the elder
brother:

Good Will To Men.


Again. have to tell you that in that
village barn that night was born good
will to men, whether you call it kind
ness or forbearance or forgiveness or
geniality or affection or love. 1t was
no sport Of high heaven to send it's IA
vorite to that humiliation. 1t was sacri-
fee for IA rebellious world. After the ca
lamity in paradise not only did the OK
begin to gore, and the adder to sting,
and the elephant to smite with his tusk,
and the lion to put to bad use tooth and
paw, but under the very tree from
which the forbidden fruit was plucked
We're Matched out war and revenge and
malice and envy and jealousy and the
whole brood of cockatrices.
But against that scene | set the Beth
lehem manger, which says, BLESS rath-
er than curse, endure rather than as
sault, and that Christmas night puts
out yindictiveness. 1t says, "'Sheathe
your sword, dismount your guns, dis
mantle your batteries, turn the warship

shell into grainship to take food to
furnishing Ireland, hook your cavalry
horses to the pillow, use your deadly gun

writing anonymous letters, extract the
sting from your sarcasm, let your wit
coruscate but never burn, drop all the
harsh words out of your vocabulary

NJ. F.ure and His Gift Dolls.

Ever since his election the French
president has, it is said, made prac-
tice of devoting at least two mornings
a week to visiting hospitals. Instead
of contenting himself with marching
formally through the narrow wards, he
makes point of going from bed to
bed, shaking hands with the patients,
inquiring into their condition, and en-
couraging them with cheering words
1t is especially by the bedside Of sick
children that he tarries the longest,
and when he asks the little sufferers
what he can do to give them pleasure
the answer invariably is ''une poupee.
Then down goes the child's name on the
tablet of one of the presidents aides
de-camp, with the result that on the
following morning there arrive at the
hospital several boxes containing su-
perb dolls. II is said that NJ. Faure
has given away over one thousand dolls
since he became president.
