1t is a source Of complaint that the

smaller ones. and do not give as good
results In eggs. This depends, however,
upon how they are fed. II. the food is

fed to large birds should be scattered
over a surface Of ground. so as'to make
them as much exercise as possible. If
they have plenty of range, it is best to
feed nothing at all except at night, in
order that they may work during the
day. and thereby keep not only in bet
ter health, but avoid taking on too
much fat. If confined. however, the
grain should be scattered In some kind
of litter. such as leaves. as the object
should be to compel them to hunt for
each grain rather than to fill themselves
in a few moments, only to sit on the
roost and fatten like a hog. Such hens
are useless, and do not lay. but are al
ways ready for market.-The Fancier.

Margaret harbored a vague suspicion that
Rodney could overcome her will if he
tried, and it was this fear which had led
her to take the peculiar step she had in

argued. My only safety lies in prevent

"Mr. Rodney paid for the dinner, sir.

With his words. "You shall pay for

at the inconsistency of my rivals speech
and deeds. l was annoyed, too. To have
a guest pay for n meal to which l had in

Mr.. Garfield said: in my judgment.
the existing electoral system is the
weak point in the theory Of representa-
tive government, as now organized and
administered, and that a large propor-
ton of the people are permanently dis
franchised. There are about ten thou
sand democrats in my district, and they
have been voting there for the last
forty years without any more hope of

than of having one in the commons Of

Ii we view the facts as they exist. we
sinai see that a fundamental principle
OF popular government, that is, the goy-
eminent shall derive it's powers from
the consent of the governed, has been
nulllhed, defeated and set aside, and the
government virtually overthrown. In
consequence, this has been brought
about by a wrong use of the ballot, by
which the peoples will has been thwart-
ed, and the weapon for the defense of
their liberties has been turned upon
them to enslave them.

The sacred trust which has been be-
queathed to us has not been guarded.
The liberty for which our fathers sacri-
hced so much of blood and treasure and
pledged their lives and fortunes to gain,
and transmitted to their children in all

WENDELL PHILLIPS VOICE.
Labor, the Creator of Wealth, Entitled
to All 1t Creates.

The mar who, with his hands, digs
CLANS out of the seashore or, climbing
a tree, gathers apples, or one who fash
ions a hoe out Of hard wood, is a pure,
simple laborer, and is entitled to what
he gets or makes. The man who makes
such a hoe one day, and working with it
the next day, digs'twice~as many clans
as when he used his hands alone, is
capitalist and laborer united. He
works a tool, which is capital, the re-
suit of past labor. Hestoo is an honest
laborer, and entitled to all he gets. A
man who works a week and makes ten
such hoes, then joins, nine less skilled
men with himself, and they, the ten,
share fairly the product of his hoes
and their toll, Introduces cooperation
and a just civilization; a system which
seems to- hold within itself every posi-
BILE safeguard against misuse and to be
full of the seeds Of all good results.
The man who, having made such a hoe,
lets it to another less skilled man to
dig CLANS, receiving an equivalent for
it's use, is a capitalist. Such a system
has no inherent, essential injustice. in
it, and, if it can be properly arranged
and guarded, cry civilization. The
difficulty is to guard it from fdegenerat-
ing into %despotism and fraud. The
man who, getting possession of a thou
sand such hoes, sits with idle hands,
and no mental effort but selfish cum
ming, and arranges a cunning network
of laws and corporations, banks and
currency, interest and corners" to get.

of the past we propose to leave undis-

dacious ~mendacity. Again and again
her white lips half opened in an ex-
clamation Of horror, but the words died
unuttered. and a frightful terror took
possession of her at the semblance Of
truth concealed under the Infamous cal

and opened a window. The cool air of
the morning refreshed her weary eyes,
and she tried to think. Her whole life
was to be suddenly changed. After
such insults, her presence in that house
was no longer possible. The storm had
burst on her head, when she believed
herself perfectly Secure. Indeed, for
five years her life had been much hap
pier, fer. this brave girl had made for
herself. by degrees, a life apart from
ana above the petty by
Which she was surrounded. Moreover,
custom had done, as ever, its kindly
work. Her position in the family was
plainly marked out, and it was neces-
sary, bon gre, NAL gre, to resign herself
to 1T. She knew that the consul es-
teemed her, for he took evident pleasure
in conversing with her, and often con-
graduated her on her are musical
gifts. Madame de Sorgnes. whose friv-
olus nature could not understand or APP
preciate so noble a character, was
nevertheless, fattered by the success Of
her protege; and as for Martha, she
was as much attached to her submits
sive companion as so selfish a girl
could be. Mademoiselle Pascale, alone,
had kept up the old amnesty, but it's
expression had become less Disagree
able. The remarkable progress of her
pupil, her courageous perseverance, her
rapid artistic development, her digni-
fed, elegant manners, caused the re-
proaches to grow Less and less frequent
they were gradually dying out for
want of element. For a long time her
hostility had been shown only in tho
stony look of her cold eyes, and in the
harshness of the tone in which she adj
dressed her pupil. But she had one
sincere friend, whose affection was not
weakened by time or absence. She had
seeIl him but once in five years, during
the last vacation passed at Berck. She
was then sixteen, and he confided to
his tall sister," as he liked to call her,
his young dreams Of the future-the am
bilious dreams Of a youth of twenty.
All this past, with its intense joys
n Its poignant sorrows, was gone
forever; and the future which, she was
to make for herself-what was it to be?
What was she to do? What was to be-
come OF her, thus abandoned far from
her own country, and without any Pc
cuniary whatever? One situa.
ton alone seemed possible. She was
we'll educated, and a fine musician.
| Could she not find among the ladies
whom she had met at the consulate a

de compagnie? But before taking any
| steps to obtain such a position, would
it not be necessary to ask Madame de
Sorgnes' permission. and would it be
lgranted2

There are on the counters of some
of the stores crinkled materials that
absolutely mislead the unwary pur-
chaser. There are alternate puffs and
plain stripes, deep .crinkled waves,
and apparently close and firm shir-
rings that are made entirely by pres
sure between hot dies. The light
touch that one is supposed to bestow
upon such goods fails to warn the
buyer of the utter worthlessness OF it
in the item of durability. Every one
who desires to investigate crinkled
things should take the material be-
tween the thumb and finger of each
hand and gently and firmly pull it. If
it straightens out into perfectly
smooth-surfaced material, its pos
sibilities of wear are clearly apparent.
OF course, if one merely wants O
fabric for ornament this is immaterlal,
but it is almost always the case that
the buyer wants to get what she pays
for, and when she buys crinkled
goods, it is scarcely comforting to
discover that q few hours use will
entirely destroy it's beauty.
