LABOR BUREAU AFFAIRS.

The Cigarmakers presented a formof con
tract affecting their trade, which was
endorsed by the Federation.
A communication was received from the
Labor Bureau giving notice of special
meeting, TO Ee he'd at its hail, No. 316
Eighth street, at p. nj. Sunday next.
The attention of the Federation was
directed 10 the insufficiency OF the sCaf-
folding of the new city postoffice building
The secretary stated that Secretary Car
iisic, in response to former ccmmunica-
tion from the Federation of Labor, had
stated that the matter would be inycsu-
gated. as that was several weeks ago, and
as the scaffolding is in the same condition
now as then, it was decided to again call
the attention of Secretary Carlisle to this
matter.

DISCUSSED THE BOYCOTT.

The beer boycott was brought up prom
iuently in the Federation. a printed list
of saloons which sell unfair beer was placed
before the Federation and on motion il was
decided To refer the matter back to Gam
brinus Assembly with instructions to revise
the list and publish list OF the saloons
selling union beer, which the Federation
would publish.
4 report was received from Plasterers'
Union that it had withdrawn its delegates
from Building Trades Council. The Plas-
terers farther reported that they had re-
ceived communication from the boss brew
ers asking that they appoint committeeto
investigate the difference between them and
their employees.
The Piasterers had declined this invita-
ton. The Pressmen, Carpenters, Horse

munications from the boss brewers and also
reported that they had severally declined to
interfere in the matter.

Since it has been conceded that Congress

is but little doubt that another bond issue

able to our present goId-gambier

out the land if the President would serve
notice to spectators that no further bond

materially injured, and possibly some
of our statesmen polit icians might be
brought to their senses.

a STRONG TEMPERANCE ARGU-
MENT

Under authority of an act of the
legislature of 1894 the Massachusetts
bureau of labor statistics has just
completed and published most eX-
haustive and convincing report of the
relations of intemperance, pauperism
and crime. It is the best temperance
lecture we know of. The statistics
and they show that on that day there
had been for year past $3.50 paupers
in the charitable institutions of the
state. Out of these 2, 108 or So per
cent were addicted to the use of
liquor. Some 5O5, or fourth of the
liquor users, had been excessive
drinkers. The total abstainers num-
bered 866 Of which, however, 429 were
minors. Thus over three fourths of
the adult paupers have been addicted
to the liquor habit and 80 per cent of
the whole number of paupers attri-
buted their pauperism to their own
Incorporate habits. Nearly two
thirds of the whole number use to-
bacco, but only three could be found
who had used drugs of any kind.
OF the criminals it was found that
the entire number of convictions in
the whole state for year was 26,672,
and that 800 of these were for
drunkenness alone, while %, 900 cases
or nearly 80 per cent Of the whole, the
offender was in drink at the time his
672 criminals "a per cent were addict
ed to drink and in %, 514 cases it was
found that it was the criminals tipp
ling habits that brought about the
condition which induced the crime.
Fifty eight per cent of them had in
temperate fathers and 20 per cent ad-
mitted to having drinking mothers.
These figures are too eloquent to
require comment.-Statesnaan

ruin.

Love is dead when the husband be-
gins to grudge the money it takes to
support his wife.
A man never believes that the girl
he is going to marry could ever grow
as fat as her mother.
IF marriage doesn't occur while
there is still novelty to the engage
ment it doesn't occur at all.
Before going to war, say prayer;
before going to sea, say two prayers;
before marrying say three prayers.
Love is great divider of shares; he
that gathers much has nothing over,
and he that gathers little has no lack.
When girl tells young man that
she dreamed about him the night be-
fore it is past time for him to begin to
be very careful.

HOME INFLUENCE.

If the father chiefly talks money,
money!" at home, he generally rears
a family in the worship of the al
mighty dollar. If he talks manly of
horses, games, and races, he breeds
batch of sportsmen. If fashion is
the family altar, then the children
are offered up as victims upon the al
tar. If man makes his own hreslde
attractive, he may reasonably hope
to anchor his own children around it.
My neighbor @ makes himself the
constant evening companion OF his
boys. The result is that his boys are
never found in bad places. But II
father hears a clock strike eleven IN
club house, or the play house, he need
not be surprised, if his boys hear IL
strike twelve in the drinking saloon.
If he puts the bottle on his own table,
he need not be surprised if drunken
son staggers in, by and by, at his
front door. When the best friend
that childhood and youth ought to
have, becomes their foe, their home
becomes the starting point for moral
ruin

PRESCRIPTION FOR FITS.

For fit of passion-Walk out in
the open air. You may speak to the
winds without hurting anyone, or
proclaiming yourself to be simple
ton.
For a fit of idleness-Cou the
ticking of a clock. Do this for one
hour, and you will be glad to pull off
your coat and work like a man.
For fit of extravagance-Go to
the workhouse, or speak with the
ragged inmates of a jail, and you will
be convinced.
For a fit of ambition-Go to the
churchyard and read the Inscriptions
on the gravestones. They will tell
you the end of man is at his best es-
tate.
For fit of repinining Look about
for the halt, the blind, and visit the
bedridden, and afflicted and the de-
ranged; and they will make you
ashamed of complaining of your light
Affections.
For fit of envy-Go and see how
many who keep their carriages are
afflicted with rheumatism, govt and
dropsy; how many are subject to
epilepsy and apoplexY.

Of late years the art of nursing the
sick has been brought to such perfec-
ton that there is little left to be de-
sired, but it is more recently that the
equally important branch of practi-
cal medicine, the invalid's diet, has
received the amount of attention it
merits. The sick mans diet, al
though it must be strictly framed in
accordance with we'll known rules of
practice, need be neither monotonous
nor unpalatable. At one time there
was little or no medium between the
diet of robust health somewhat linn
ted to suit individual requirements)
and the meagre and unappetlzlng
round of fluid nourishment aptly
termed 'sslops'' which formed the
staple food of all who were at all
seriously i'll. Now that the principles
underlying the process of digestion
in health and disease are SO much
better understood, considerable
change, to the sdffer's great advan-
tage, has taken place. Partly through
a more iudicious selection, and partly
on account OF the many very excel
ledt artificially digested foods that
are to be met with in the market, the
ssdietine'' of today is by no means the
unpleasant process it used to be, and
the equity or dyspeptic individual
will find a far larger field of choice
open to him than his fathers pos

Governor CIRCUITS inaugural adj
dress contained the following refer
ence to prohibition:
ssFor nearly half a century prohibl-
ton has been an omnipresent theme
with the people of Vermont, and
study of temperance has become a
feature of our educational system. 1t
has stood and stands bulwark be-
tween brutality and home, order and
riot, the better and the worse in all
things The prohibitory law has oc-
cupied conspicuous place upon our
statutes and signally aided the cause
of temperance.
The general temperance of our peo-
pie is superior to that of any sister
state Our prohibitory law insures
better home for the laboring man and
his family here in Vermont than in
any other community Of it's size on
the face of the earth. We have rea-
son to congratulate ourselves upon
many things, but upon no one thing
more than the character which has
become a part of our life since pro-
hibition has guarded the avenues of
our society. Provide, in such way as
commends itself to your discretion, a
better enforcement of this law or
public expectation will be disap-
pointed.

PLANTING BULBS. Having ordered
your bulbs set about getting com
post ready in which to pot them. As
good a soil as any is one composed of
ordinary garden loan, sands, and
well-rotted COW manure in equal
parts. One third sand may seem like
eEtoo much of a good thing" but it is
not. Nowhere in the world are bet
ter bulbs grown than in Holland,
whose soil is nearly all sand. Better
bulbs can ne grown in clear sand,
properly fortified, than in the rich
est of soils without sand. Mix your
compost we'll, and have it fine and
mellow. 1t is very important that
the manure should be old. Fresh
manure is harmful to all Dubious
plants, out or in doors. Bulbs do
not require a great deal of root room,
therefore, where single specimens are
grown large pots are unnecessary. If
several bulbs are grown in the same
pot the effect is more pleasing be-
cause of the greater mass of color IN
a limited space Three or four hya-
cinths, tulips or daffodils may be
grown successfully in seven inch
pot. Half a dozen crocuses or snow
drops viii be required to fill six

LADIES' COLUMN.
WATERS AND TABLEWARE.

The dishonesty of a waiter at an
English banquet recently brought out
the fact that these indispensable
functionaries are accustomed at most
of the London and provincial restau-
rants to carry the knives, forks and
spoons that guests may require, in
their pockets. This fact was disclos-
ed when waiter who was arrested
with such articles on his person
claimed that such method of carry
ing them about was customary IN
most restaurants. That was admit
ted, but this particular waiter had
tumbler in his pocket, and that was
declared to be unprecedented, even
in the exigencies of walters exist
ence. 1t may we'll be imagined what
the result would be if it became
known that the WATERS in our restau-
rants and hotels supplied the guests
with forks fished out of their pockets.
Such a practice would not be tolerat-
ed by the proprietor. and the patrons
who learned of it would soon abandon
the establishment which permitted
such an unceremonious custom. Lon
don restaurants are much inferior to
those in New York. That is never
disputed. But apart from the fact
that our food and wines are better,
there is an immense superiority in
everything that relates to eating. The
the res geste are much more careful
" looked after, and in every detail
here there are greater cleanliness and
delicacy. The prices here, are more
over, cheaper.-Ne1O York Sun.
