NEW ORLEANS sCREwMEN.
They Reduce Prices and VIII Cut
Loose From the StevedOres.

They Reduce Prices and VIII Cut
Loose From the stevedores.
New Orleans, La. March THE screw
men of the port have effected a change
of front and from to-day will screw cot
ton in steamships for So cents per bale
on steam, and 45 cents on sailing vessels.
The conditions that have brought about
the present situation are well known;
the cutting of prices by the negro labor
of the port finally bringing about the
procedure of the white screwmen. They
have also announced that they have cut
adrift from the middlemen in the person
of the stevedore, for the white laborers
are not at all reucent in stating that much
of their labor troubles are directly due
to the way their interests have been
handled by the stevedores of the port.
A further cut has been made by the
white laborers; tobacco will be slowed
for 80 cents a hogshead, as against the
old price of $1.10.
1t is not expected that work will be i'm
mediately resumed on the levee by the
whites but just as soon as contracts
are made by their agent they win take
hold. 1t remains to be seen what effect
the reduction made by the white laborers
VIII have on the ship agents. These
have all along professed the best inten-
tions toward the white screwmen and
have time and again stated that if the
price of labor was reduced they would
in every case discriminate in favor of the
white association. The Harrison line
pay their men 40 cents per hour; their
agent has a fine opportunity offered to
indicate his preferences for the quality
of labor he desires employed about his
vessels.

Literary Notes.

The Preachers Magazine whose popularity
does not diminish. comes with very rich and
varied store of wholesome matter. The July
number will rank among its best issues. The
leading sermon, strong and logical, upon, Joy In
Trlbulation," is by A. M. Fairbairn DID. A
valuable article, "The Uses of Illustration" is
by Rev. John Edwards. The Homiletic Depart
ment abounds in able and full quantity and
quality of apt material Notes and illustrations

Poultney Bigelows history of "The German
Struggle for Liberty" opens brilliantly in the
July Harper's Magazine as series of detached
papers touching important events in 1906. They
include Napoeon's military murder of John
Palm, of Nuremberg, the John Brown of Ger
many; chance meeting of Napoleon and the
admiring philosopher, Hegel; the condition of
the Prussian army that faced the French at
jena; and the stampede that followed the bat
ties of jena and Auerstedt The success of the
Little Corsican is better understood when the
Generalization of Germany and the superiority
of troops trained in the school of the French
Revolution are realized.
The autobiography of Frances Power Cobbe
has received the heartest kind of welcome, out
and because she has written of herself so de-
lightfully. The Pall-Mall Gazette says: "Her
memoirs are stocked with witty anecdotes and
"reminiscences of a life that has been more inter-
esting and varied than many can boast in these
degenerate days." The London Daily News
remarks: This autobiography is a thoroughly
healthy and happy one." 1t is published in this

.PR1MRosEs, by Sarah L. Wolverton. is
choice little volume of poetry publish
ed by Charles Wells Moulton, the Buff
falo publisher. The happy title of the
collection suggests the modesty and
beauty of the verse. There is here no
striving after effect, but simple, natural
and tender poetry, such as we may con-
clude came to the writer in uplifted
hours when her thought flowed into
verse as easily as the bird sings or the
brook in summer ripples over it's pebbles.
Mrs. Wolverton's poems are very choice
and beautiful, marked with delicacy and
grace of expression, and dealing mainly
with the sweet and sunny side of life,
and the lessons of trust and faith. There
are few poems in this little volume,
which, If they had widely known name
attached to them, would be quoted far
and wide. and deemed worthy of mas
ter's fame. Mrs. Wolverton is no doubt
content to rank with the humber poets,
but she will always have the consolation
of knowing that where her poems find
readers they will be sure to have admir-.
ers. The author is not unknown to the
constituency of THE UNIvERsALIsT, sew
eral of her poems having been printed in
our columns. Readers will be pleased to
know that she has now gathered her
treasures into this choicely printed book
under the pretty title she has chosen
for the collection.

SODA WATER.

Soda water. as it is known both in the
popular idea and to the trade, is plain
hydrant water charged with more or less
pure carbonic- acid gas. 1t derived its.
name from the old-fashioned method of
manufacture, which was by putting
teaspoonful of soda into tumbler-full
of water and stirring the mixture. Soda
water thus made was a long-used remedy
for minor stomach troubles, and, indeed,
it's efficacy as such is acknowledged to
this day.
AS drink soda water probably first
came into use as remedy for the unset
thing effects of stronger beverages. From
its beginning as stomach remedy it
has come to be base for an innumera-

by the proprietor. The retorts contain
from 200 to 1000 glasses of "fizz,' larger
fountains using retorts which contain
more. They are fitted with stops and
valves, and are connected with the foun.
