Oyeing the Burglars.

A good story is told by German
paper of the way in which dyer
treated two burglars whom he caught
in his establishment, as they were IN
the act of making off with some VAL
liable dyes. Mr., s., the owner OF the
color works, is often engaged IN ex-
periments late into the evening, and
occasionally spends the night in the
chemical laboratory, which opens into
the room where the great dye vatsare.
The thieves made their visit, as it
CHANGED, on one of the nights when
Mr.. S. was sleeping at the laboratory.
He is naturally light sleeper, and u
little past midnight he was aroused
bv the sound of voices in the vat
room. He saw the flash of light.
and suspecting thieves, arose quietly
from his sofa, took his revolver, and
concealed in the darkness, watched
the movements of the two men. He
saw that each bore a package of new
and valuable dyes.
Thinking that matters had pro-
gressed far enough, he stepped for
ward, cooked his revolver, and said
quietly, Il have a use for those dyes.
You'd better leave them alone.
The thieves, taken completely by
surprise, dropped their plunder and
started to run, leaping from the side
Of one vat to the next. In the dark
ness one of them miscalculated tho
distance, and fell headlong into an in.
digo vat and his companion, hearing
the splash, glanced back to see what
had occurred, lost his balance, and
toppled into the same vat.
That's all right, said Mr.. S, half
loosely, as he stepped to the edge OF
the vat and covered the thieves with
his revolver. IL won't grudge you
enough Of that indigo to dye your
clothes and your skin. You needn't
hurry about getting out. We must
give the dye a chance to take effect.
For fifteen minutes or more he kept
the two men in the vat, where they
several times plunged beneath the
surface Of the liquid, and came up
spluttering and choking, and finally
begged for mercy.
well, remarked Mr.. s., good
naturedly, 81 think you probably are
as blue outside as you feel inside. so |
won't detain you longer. And now,
changing his tone TO one of stern com.
mand, "if you don't want the police
put on your tracks, you'll make your
selves scarce in this town. Out now,
and be oil -
Without word the two men climbed
out Of the vat and FASTENED away.
A few days later friend from an
adjoining town called on Mr.. s., and
mentioned incidentally that two men
came to him and offered him five dol
lars 10 tell them what would remove
indigo stains from the skin. "They
were the bluest-looking fellows you
ever saw" he added. "They said
they got to fooling in the dye-house
and fell into the vat.

ECONOMY WILL SOLVE THE LABOR
PROBLEM.
BY REV. j. B. SAKE.

The Labor Problem is the burning
question of the day. No other inter
ests the world so much. How are the
conflicting interests of capital and
labor-the employers and the en-
ployed-to be reconciled? The war
fare increases in intensity and bitter
ness, and the problem seems farther
from a solution than ever before.
Strange that no adequate remedy
has been yet proposed, much as has
been thought and written upon the
subject by some of the greatest minds
of the age. In the Independent of
February the opinions of some of
the leading thinkers and writer's are
given.
Bishop F. D. Huntington suggests
definite contracts, boards of arbitra
ton, fairer treatment of laborers, and
the observance of the golden rule.
A. G. Hollister, New Lebanon Shak-
er, recommends profit sharing, lower
interest, limitation of ownership of
land, prohibition of the manufacture
and sale of intoxicants, money issued
by the government, telegraphs, rail
roads, mines, ETC., operated by the
same authority-in word, socialism
and taking the franchise from litter
ates, drunkards, and criminals, and the
representation of minorities. Bishop
John p Newman would have mu-
tual rights recognized and companion
ship in profits; and the church to de-
mand the application of the golden
rule in all transactions. Rev. w. W.
Fem, of Chicago, suggests mutual
love, arbitration, and closer rela-
tons between employers and en-
ployed, leading to profit sharing
Rabbi M. Schlesinger would have a
general recognition of our mutual in
terests. Rev. H. S. johnson, of Pitts
field, thinks the key to the solutionof
all social questions is the diffusion
of the spirit of Christ. Rev. Preston
Barr, of Tacoma, can see no solution
except in the sway of Christian love.
Cardinal Gibbons only suggests ar
bitration. President Eliot, of Har-
ward, sees no solution for hundreds
Of years to come; and Henry George
says the only possible solution is the
single taxi
Now all this is simply beating the
air. Many of the remedies suggested
are good, if they could be applied
OF course if all would be governed
by the golden rule, the millennium

WHAT BUDDHISM IS.

Professor t. w. Rhys Davids, of Lon
don. secretary of the Asiatic Society, and
one of the most distinguished scholars
of the times. is now in this country. He
is here on lecturing tour, and his
chief subject is 1.-The History and Liter
allure of Buddhism" To reporter for
the New York Times, he said:
The whole substance Of Buddhism
may be briefly summed up in this
phrase: Nothing is: everything is becom-
ing. That is to say: Nothing endures
as we see it; nothing is perfect. The
mountain and the tea cup, the man and
the ant are constantly disintegrating

would solve itself in single year.
Employers would be forced to pay
just wages or stop business. And
the beauty of this plan is, that every
man could protect his own rights.
He would not depend upon the CO.
operation of others, and would be
comparatively Independent, not hav-
ing to wait for the reformation of the
human race. As this would be a
complete solution of the labor pro.
blem, and the My one at present
possible, why will not laborers think
of it, and act upon it, Every one an
do it for himself, without any coop
Grafton of others, except the mem
bers of his own family. Begin to
morrow!
As the saved and invested capital
would be inherited by our children,
if this course was persisted in, every
generation would become more and
more independent, and poverty,
squalor and wietchedness might be
banished from the earth. As the
way is SO practical and SO easy, and
the benefits so inestimable, it is
strange if sensible people do not take
it up. AS beginning suggest that
women propose to- their husbands to
leave off the use of tea and coffee, if
they will, of drink and tobacco, and
save and invest every year what they
all cost. What say you ladies9

takes care of his body. He claims that
the mind grows stronger and clearer as

vent an intellectual progress that will
go on to the end. He is certainly good

A RADICAL DISTINCTION.
REV. S. CRANE, d. d.

ONE of the radical distinctions be-
tween the old thought and the new,
between Orthodoxy and Universalism
is in the classification of punishment.
1t is not so much in the length of
punishment as it is in. the way it is
classified. The old thought puts all
divine retribution on the side of dam
nation, Classics it with the destruc-
tive, damnatory forces. 1t does not
begin until the day of salvation is
over, until all the redemptiva forces
have ceased to operate, until the soul
has PASSED beyond the line of posi-
BILE recovery and then it gives its
whole power to drive men into end
less darkness and ruin, to push them
into greater and greater rebellion,
force them farther and farther away
from God. Its work is not to save
souls in the least, but it's work is to
damn them, to ruin and blast them
forever. 1t is put, therefore, not on
the side of God and salvation, but on
the side of the devil and damnation;
it is classified with all that is evil
and destructive.
On the other hand the new thought
Universalism, puts retribution on the
side of salvation; it classifies it with
the redemptive forces. 1t says that
all divine punishment is saving; that
it is inflicted to lead men to repen-
lance and save them from sin. It
holds that punishment is one of the
redemptive forces of God and there
fore on the side of God and all good
ness. not that it is the only redemp-
tive force as people sometimes imagine.
but one of the redemptive forces aad
therefore gives its whole weight for
salvation. 1t works in perfect har-
mony with Christ and his work. His
work is confessed ly that of salvation;
he came to save men from their sins
and divine retribution has the same
mission and works to the same end.
Hence it takes rank with the redemp-
tive forces. 1t is classified with the
life-saving powers. 1t is martialed
on the side of God and Christ and
salvation.
Here, then, is radical distinction,
perhaps the most radical between the
old thought and the new. Upon this
point they are as wide apart as the
poles; they are separated by the whole
diameter of the universe. There is no
bringing them together. They can
not be reconciled. One or the other
is and must be false. One or the
other must be given up by whoever
would have a reasonable view of di-
vine punishment. No logical mind
can hold them both at the same time
Whoever holds that punishment is
in any way and to any degree re-
demptive, has left the old thought,
has ceased to be orthodox He may
still think himself sound in the faith,
but in fact he has cut loose from the
very foundation and is on his way to
the new light and the new faith. Pun
ishment cannot be damnatory and re-
demptive both; hence if we give up
the former, we must accept the latter
and sooner or later all that results
therefrom.-Pdrish Helper.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1895-03-30

1t is also certain that the Germanic
races emerge into history before the
japanese, and that japanese litera-
ture, though that of the oldest among
the nations in the Altaic group, is yet
no more ancient than Anglo Saxon or
English literature. Nevertheless, to
be an Empress in line and of an
Empire that has nearly twelve hun
dred years of documentary history
back of the m, is what we call respect
able. At the antipodes of the Chin
csc, who hate all innovations and
cling tenaciously to what is old, the
japanese are fond of novelties, and
believe in things new. espt cially when
these are tried, proved and not found
wanting.
The Life of Haruko.
Almost like song has been the
life of Haruko the Empress of Japan.
With health, beauty, sweet feminine
attractiveness, of immemorial noble
lineage, beloved by her lords and
people, awarded personal honors by
her husband unknown to former EN-
presses, she has lived to see Japan
made new nation, and the sun ban
ner borne VIGOROUSLY into mighty
China. In the national regeneration
and the hearty adoption of western
civilization, she has borne leading
part. Her heart has been ever warm
ly sympathetic with all that means
JOY or sorrow to her people. Now,
she feels for the hundreds of her
female subjects who having married
Chinese dwelling in Japan, are now
rent from hus band, and often from
children, especially sons, and whose
whole domest life is wrecked by the
war. The storm came to most of the
people in China, Korea and Japan as
fire-bolt out of clear sky. The
Empress sympathy, too, is with her
gallant lads, who beyond seas up
hold the nations honor under the Ris
ing Sun flag. Already her warm heart
is felt like nations pulse. At this
moment, because of her encourage
ment, the Japanese camps in Man
churia are well supplied with both
comforts and dainties above and be-
yond the regulations and the rations.
Her gracious influence soothes many
an hour of pain and anguish when
brave lads lie wounded in the hos
pital or when households at home
mourn because the bamboo streamers
futter in the wind over new made
graves in foreign soil.
Meanwhile, these are great days
for woman in Eastern Asia. In new
and grander spheres of work, she is
mans true yoke fellow and help
meet for him" as never before. Her
outlook and ideals, hopes and striv
ings are after those of her sisters in
Christendom. They that dwelt in
darkness have seen a great light.
Space does not here and now suffice
to show it, but it is true that this
light is that of the Gospel in
Christ Jesus; the har bingels and re-
fectors-the missionaries of Christi
anity.
