price list prepared by the association and
accepted yesterday morning by the stores.
Heretofore the men have been working
by the week for stipulated salaries. thus
putting good and poor workmen on the same
footing. Recently, however, the associ-
alton came to the conclusion thatthismcthod
was unfair to a large number of mechanics
who were able to accomplish n great deal
more than some of their less expert fellow
workers, and il was decided to arrange a
price list for piece work. to be sumbitted In
the stores. The price list was accordingly
prepared and accepted by the stores yes

list for piecework was accepted without any
conflict with the stores, and ar nn time
has a strike been considered. TIE new
schedule will have the effect uf making all
the paperhaDgers work by he piece IN the
future, thus enabling the superior work
men TO stand ON their merits ard receive
adequate compensation for their labor.

An Effective Lie.

A young French advocate in the course
of his address to the court f1ourished
about his hand in such manner as to
show off magnificent diamond ring.
He was young, good looking and was
pleading for a lady of quality who de-
manded separation from her husband
The husband, who happened to be pres
ent, interrupted him III the middle of a
period and turning to the judges ex-
claimed Electrically, "My lords, you
will appreciate the zeal which II. x
is displaying against me and the sin
certify of his argument when you are
informed that the diamond ring he
wears is the very one that placed on
my wife's finger on the day of that I'M
ion he is so anxious to dissolver' The
court was struck with establishment and
rose Immediately. The cause was lost,
and the advocate never had another. To
add to the poignancy of the catastrophe,
the husbands insinuation had no foun-
dation whatever in fact.-San Francisco

Poetry and Music.

1t must be remembered that song is a
combination of two arts, in which each
must exercise its own function and must
respect the office of the other. In the
ideal lyric, such as those of Heiue and
Schumann, the poet draws an outline
which the musician colors, and where
they are in perfect sympathy there will
be perfect unity of result. But if the one
goes on to complete the picture, if he
prescribes every nuance and every de-
tail, there is no collaboration possible,
for nothing is left to the other but COM
plete subservience. There will never be
an adequate setting of the 'Bugle Song"
in "The Princess, not because the verse
is too musical, for such plea is con-
tradiction i'll terms, but because the
poem is too full. What is the composer
to do with such a consummate line as:
Blow. busle; answer, echoes, dying, dying,
dying?
Shall he follow the suggestion of the
words? He is but echoing the echoes.
Shall he disregard it? He has missed
the poets meaning. The whole field has
been occupied already, and if he claim
share of the tillage he must take sta
ton as aseIf.-Macmillan Magazine.

Weight of Our Atmospbere.

1t has been roughly calculated that
the weight Of our atmosphere is about
one ton to every square foot of the
earth's surface; $4,000, 900 tons per
square mile, or 5000, 900, 900, OOO, 600
tons on the total of 200, 900, 900 square
miles which go to make the total of the
earth's area. Again, according to the
estimates of the authority for the
above, a cubic mile Of air weighs about
$1,000, 000,O0 pounds. This mass
when electrified, or put in motion by
other forces, develops cyclonic power
equal to 1000, 600, 900, 900 "foot tons''
of energy. If you wish to know why
the tornado (cyclone) is usually so de-
structive, figure on the fact that the
force of such storms is generally equiv
alent to more than 1000, 900, 900, 900,
900 horsepower! The total horsepower
of all the engines now working in the
world is only $4,000, 900, and of all
those in America, both locomotives and
stationary engines, only $500, 900.
Compare 100000 with 1000, OO0,-
600, 000,0 900 and see how insignificant
it looks! Is it any wonder that the cy-
clone, "the rushing demon of the air, -
leaves ruin and destruction in its path?

What Is q Parody?

The essential conditions of parody are
commonly understood to be brevity and
wit. 1t must also closely follow its
original, and that original must be fair
~ familiar. That it must discover &C.
cult resemblances in things apparently
unlike; that it must depend for its sue
cess upon contrast aud surprise; that it
must be able to leap lightly over that
little chasm which separates the ridicu-
lous from the sublime; that there must
be i'll it what DR.. johnson calls dis
cordia ccncors, is but to say that its au-
thor must be Il wit. A witty distortion
or displacement of ideas or words con-
stitutes the common merit Of parody in
verse or prose.

Due to IMAGINATION.

Some writers Of sea songs were poor
sailors. I'm Oh the Sea! I'm on the
Sea :" wrote Barry Cornwall as if life
on the ocean wave were a joy. But it
was his imagination that wrote the
song, for he was the sickest of sailors
and detested the sea.
Il had it from Mrs. Proctor" says
Santley, the singer, who told me that
she used TO tease him, humming a
strain OF his jovial sea song as he lay, a
very log, huddled in shawls and tar
eaulin. crossing the channel, with bare
" sufficient animation left to utter,
My dear, don't!'
