Pittsburg Times.
One woman determined that her hus-
band should know how he looked when
he was drunk. She knew how he
looked well neough, and needed not
that any man should tell her. Her
children also knew by sad experience
but the man himself had a very i'm
perfect idea of the state of the case.
So once when he came home and fell
into a maudlin slumber she sent for a
photographer to come forthwith. and
on his arrival 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 well; and when the
photograph was finished and laid be-
side the husbands place at breakfast.
it was a revelation, and the sobered
gentleman experienced decidedly new
sensation. There was no need of ex-
PLANTATION; the thing explained itself.
There was no chance for contradiction:
the sun tells no lies. There was no

Steam, Power.

That steam power is still and will
continue TO be for an indefinite
period the greatest artificial force, and
consequently the greatest competitor
of human labor, is argued by an
English writer, from the standpoint
that, as estimated in England, horse
costs ten times as much as steam pow
er, and human labor ninety times as
much From this necessarily follows, he
says, the constant tendency to make
machinery a substitute for laborers;
thus, ten years ago, the worlds
