The New York World figures it out
that within the past ninety days the
wages of 25O,OO0 men in the man
ufacturing Industries of this country
have been materially advanced. The
average increase has been II per cent.
This brings the average wage fully up
to the rate prevailing before the de-
preston. Beside this increase of
wages, factories which have been
closed have reopened their doors
during the same period to the num-
ber of 227, giving employment to 53,-
900 persons who have been out Of
work. All this has been brought about
by natural causes. There have been
very few strikes: the advance in wa
ges has been for the most part vOlun-
tary on the part of the employers of
labor. There has been no compulsion.
That is to say, the sun of substan-
tial prosperity has risen and is light
ing the whole land.

THE TUBERCULOSIS SCARE.

The crOakers will undoubtedly find
excuse, if not cause, in the failure to
discover tuberculosis widespread in
Vermont, to renew their criticism of
the action taken by the legislature at
Montpelier last autumn looking to-
ward the stamping out of this pest of
the dairyman. 1t is true that the dis
ease according to present develop
ments is not SO widespread as was
supposed at the time the remedial
legislation was passed. It is also true,
however, that the developments thus
far made have been sufficient to justi-
fly the course pursued by the legisla-
ture and by the State Board Of Agri
culture that is charged with the duty
of enforcing the law directed against
bovine tuberculosis.
In spite of the small number of cas-
es of the disease found among cattle
in this State and in spite of the radi
cal measures adopted by our author
tiles for the suppression Of all cases
discovered, the authorities of Mass
achusetts found it to be advisable to
declare a quarantine against cattle
from Vermont, and the embargo is
now being enforced to the consider
able financial loss of our dairy men
and drovers. Our board of agricul-
ture adopted measures restricting the
Importation into this State from Mass
achusetts of cattle not known to be
free from disease as one means of
helping to stamp out bovine tuber
culosis in Vermont, but the chances
are that the Bay State would not have
retaliated for the known existence of
this disease among Vermont herds

The deputation from the American
Board which is to sail for Japan in a
few weeks consists of the following
members: Rev. DIR. A. II. Bradford of
Montclair, n. j., Rev. DR.. James L..
Barton, foreign secretary of the
Board, Rev. James G. Johnson of
Chicago, and William P. Ellison of
the prudential committee. The object
of the visit is to examine into the con-
dition of the Japanese churches,
which wish to manage their own af-
fairs and conduct their own affairs
and conduct their own missionary
enterprises. The Japanese think that
they are able to support their own
churches, although it is not believed
that they have any hostility toward
the American Board or it's missiona-
ries.

by new type of fever now prevalent
among the sailors who served on the

that the doctors have been unable to

"THE COLORED MAN AND

A law passed by the New York leg
islature at its recent session provided
that all persons within the jurisdiction
Of the state shall be entitled ito the
full and equal accommodation, advan-
tages and privileges of inns, restaur-
ants, hotels eating houses, bath hous

established by law and applicable
alike to all citizens,o and providing a
penalty for the denial to any citizen,
Except for reasons applicable alike
to all citizens of every race, creed or
color, the full enjoyment of any of the
accommodations, advantages, facilit-
les or privileges enumerated.
The author of the act, it seems, was
a colored politician, who, having Sc
cured it's passage, started out the
other day with two companions to put
it into effect. They made a tour of
the restaurants of the fashionable
quarter in New York, where they met
with a variously chilling reception. At
some Of the swell places, it appears,
they were served without question,
but the cordiality of their entertain
ment diminished as they descended
the scale, and when they came to the
cheap oyster houses they were given
the cold shoulder with much empha-
sis. They visited, among other places
fashionable bathing house, where
the proprietor told them that he could

No sooner is Lord Roseberry de-
feated than the news comes from Ger
many that an international monetary
conference is to be called to meet be-
fore Oct. Is. These two facts make
an interesting coincidence. That a
conference has not been called before
has been largely due to the attitude
of the Roseberry government toward
the subject of bi-metallism. Salisbury
and Balfour come now to the front.
The existence of bi-metallistic par
ty in England is doubtless due more
to Mr.. Balfour than to any other one

There has been horrible murder in

murdered about O'Clock in the after
noon last Thursday, her body still
warm. The body was horribly mutt

a back window and did his hellish
work undetected So far he has es,
capped detection, having left no clue.
Mrs. Deaners was fl ne woman of un-

These crimes are terrible. In the city
of Boston last week the list of sudden
deaths and deaths by violence is an
appalling one.

One Way to Rid Poultry Of verm,n.

will tell you how 1 completely
eradicated the biggest CROP of lice Of
the large kind l ever saw on "a lot Of
fowls, says a writer in the Poultry
Keeper. i took a pound of smoking
tobacco and put it in fifty-pound lard
tub, poured on about two quarts of hot
water. covered it up and let 1t stand
over night. The next day being q
warm one, filled up the tub within a
few inches of the top with warm wa
ter; then took each fowl singly and
dipped them in the soup up to
where they part their back hair.
or, to be exact, up to their eyes, letting
them get thoroughly soaked with it,
then lifted them out and let them
drain. l served every one the same,
and l can say that l completely
cleaned out the lice and did not hurt
my fowls in the least They all did
well after it, and at present have not
got louise of any kind whatever on
them. The pound of tobacco was suf'
ficient for sixty fowls, the number
dipped. filed the tub up with warm
water the second time after I had
dipped about thirty of them.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, Of Hartville, MO-
had an interesting experience win tne doc'
tors recently, and was on the verge OF 9
painful surgical operation. He writes; u
hereby add my unqualified endorsement OF
your excellent remedy, q. 3. 3. For SIX
wears have been a sufferer from scro1u-
ious affection OF the glands of my neck, and
all efforts of physicians In Washington,
d. c., Springfield, H., and st. Louis failed
to reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here my physi-
clan urged me to submit to a removal OF the
gland. At this critical moment friend
recommended s. 8. g., and laying aside
deep-rooted prejudice against all patent
medicines, / began its use. Before mad

INV second bottle yet. HadI only used your
3. S. s. years ago, l could have escaped

this endorsement will serve you In any way,

This experience is like that OF all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles. Inc
doctors can do no good, and even their re-
sorts to the knife prove either frritless or
fatal. s. S. S. is the only real blood rem,
edy. It gets at the root OF the disease, ano
forces it out permanently.

cred as matter to laugh at, and never
smile in listening to bird lore of this
sort; / have the recipe still by me, and
a most fearful one it is. There are de-
tails about it not fit to be mentioned
such as would be enough to disgust a
polecat. if | may be allowed to use SO
homely smile. 1t is curious, but the
measures that were resorted to in past
times were pretty sure TO be very strong
ones.
In my boyhood there were surely
more of those halcyon days, when the
tassclled reeds are reflected in the
calm water, the surface of which is
only broken by the rise of giant trout;
when the clack of the millwheel is
softened by the slush of the water that
sends it round; when the dark green
leaves of the hoary-stemmed alders are
motionless, save when the red-polls
that have bred somewhere ID the alder
swampS move them, in their fittings
to and fro, to cling on the dark twigs.
Old posts are in the stream, that
have been placed there in past times to
prevent men netting the trout. They
are moss-covered now, thick and green.
On ore of them sits kingfisher, his
bright, red breast brought out wildly
by the green moss on the stump.
Dick-diclS! he has plunged; there Is
a splash of water, you see a flash of
rainbow hues, and there he is on his
stump again, with minnow.
The birds movements are so rapid,
there Is little more to be said about
them. 1t is there, and gone, and there
again. When it flights, all you will see
will be the vivid line Of turquoise blue
on its upper plumage.
Great brambles hang over streams.
loaded in their season with luscious
black berries; such places are favorite

/ have found his nest, if a hole in a
bank which was frequented also by sand
martins could be called one, by the side
of a well-frequented cart road. For
some reason only known to the bird
itself it has left the vicinity of the
water In order to nest here.
So far as the fish bones forming the
foundation for the nest, SO called, are
concerned, insect-feeding birds cast up
pellets Of the indigestible parts of
their prey, and as the fish bones have
been scattered all over the floor of the
tunnel, it may be that they are, more
Or less, indiscriminate castings. / do
not assert this as fact, only venture
IN opinion ON the subject.
Young kingfshers require lot of
feeding from their parents; and 1t is
only to the calls of the nestlings at
times that the nests have been found
where they were least expected to be.
A saw-pit was ono place where couple
brought out their brood. Some time
back, tit may be some four or i've years

A HOUSE OF GLASS


clever boy whom know. co yoat
Once lived In n house OF glass.
lie had toys and playthings not o few,
And CLONES and books that were fine and
new,
And plenty OF time and little to do,
And So from his window high, he threw
Astone at all who did passl
No matter what the person might be
Who journoyed his window by,
Or whether OF low or high degree.
A Eriace or paupcr, or great grandee,
A had or lass-uot a white cared he,
Ho. .nly looked o victim to see,
A vi away the stone would fly
And when he heard cry or groom
He laughed and shouted with glee,
As proud as q king upon his thronel
Tho funniest thing that ever was known
1t Is to see them lodging the stone
And trying to catch the bird that has flown
IT'S the rarest sportl" cried he.
And on! the mischief this youngster wrought
Could ne'er be told in n day
The market mans eggs oil came to naucht,
The muffns that poor Dame Crumpet had
brought,
And roses and posies lad had brought
To tows, as he whistled without thought
OF dagger upon his wayi
And one iue morn. from his window height,
This boy horseman espied,
And seizing q stone, with wicked spite,
Re threw 1t with all his main and might,
As he called: 20 no, my gallant knight
I'll bring your plumes to q sorry plight
And spoil your beautiful ridel"
All then retrioutive justice came
with reckoning sore, alasi
The knight did not dodge or cry ''for
shame!"
But boldly threw with certain aim:
"Your impudent spirit, young sir, I'll tame
And teach you how two can play at your
camel"
And down fell the house Of glassl
For It's dangerous thing to throw
stone at people who pass
Unless your castle Is iron, you know,
Since q gallant knight who rides below.
With o sturdy arm and o certain blow,
May bring to cruel destruction and woe
A house that is made OF glass;
