like. 1t is natural and the normal
condition of every sane, healthy
man or woman. Labor is every
effort and aspiration. It shows the
respect for the creator, who tolls
every day, but does not make it
drudgery. Man or woman who
does not do likewise is ignorant of
the Creator or his intention
Whether of hand or head at i'm
proven,ent and progress, Labor is
every day and lifelong educator
and developer. Civilization is the
crystalized labor of the past.
There is in the labor problem
philosophy involved and implied
far deeper and greater than the
matter of few extra cents or dimes
per day. He who does not c0mpre-
bend this does not understand the
issue and can do little to aid in it's
solution.
Labor is the greatest of all ques-
tons because it is the greatest fac
tor in human progress.
Labor must be freed from iqno-
rance and greed or the human FAM
lily is lost. Reason must take the
place of ignorance and supersti-
ton. Justice demands it. 1t is
due. There is no escaping the
truth The people must have truth
and Justice or sink into oblivion by
the starvation route.
What is man as we find him today
in the Labor world? Poor, de-
graded and brutalized; sunk in
serfdom and savagery; toiling in
pain and privation; weak, ignorant
and impotent; bounded, perse-
cuted and despised. Yea, even in
this model republic of ours, we love
to boast so much about freedom
and wave flag called Old Glory,
which is disgraced by being the
emblem of 100000 ignorant cor
poration worshippers. A nation of
people that worship a thief. A
nation of people that always pick
the most low, contemplate ex-
cuses of humanity for office: men
that are absolutely destitute of all
that is contained in true manhood.
A nation of people that has a law
making power that is absolutely
disgrace to humanity! A nation
that worship courts that are
disgrace to the worst despotism
that is known in the history of
mankind! I ask is it any wonder
that laboring people are sinking
into wretchedness and brutalized
savagery in this country?

What Is Labor?

S.P. LEEP.
What is Labor? Was the earth
created for a hell? Is the Almighty
demon? Are the people on this
earth doomed to want and starva-
ton for no other reason than to
satisfy the hellish greed of the few?
Much has been said and written
about labor and it's conditions in
this country. Labor, which is sink
ing into ignorance and wretched-
ness. To discuss the Labor ques-
ton intelligently we must first
understand what labor is, it's ma
ture, object and scope.
Man was created to labor. In his
organization nature emphasized it's
necessity, and at the same time ex-
actly defines it's limit. In each hui
man organism is generated GER
tain amount of vital and muscular
force. Not only a sufficiency for
continued existence, but surplus.
Now this surplus must be expended
in some direction or the body be-
comes feverish, nervous, and the
the mind, in sympathy, becomes
fretful, uneasy. finally producing
disease. The application and ex-
penditure of this surplus vital and
muscular force on the agencies of
human progress and upon the util-
tiles of the purposes of life is
Labor.
Nature intended that this surplus
should be used in Labor; but ma
ture intended this as the limit to
which nature should extend the
surplus force. No more, no less.
When, however, this surplus vital
and muscular force is all expended,
and the effort is still continued at
the expense of the capital, vital
force, then it at first becomes disa-
greeable, then painful, and, finally,
intolerable. This is no longer La
Dor, but drudgery.
Labor is at once blessing and a
benefit. Drudgery is alike a curse
and crime. Labor is pleasure
and a necessity. Drudgery is a
painful punishment and utterly
uncalled for. Labor elevates.
Drudgery degrades. Labor eno-
bles. Drudgery brutalizes. Labor
strengthens and inspires. Drudg-
cry weakens and dulls the mind.
TO the large majority of toi1ers
to-day work is mere drudgery, moth
ing else. Dreary, horrible and
hopeless. The consequence is they
come to l0ath and detest work.
They are praying and hoping
against hope to get above and out
of it. They are seeking to avoid
and evade it.
Not nature, nor natures laws
ever intended this degradation, but
human laws and vicious systems
have crunched Labor into want and
starvation, ignorance and filth.
Down into degenerated drudgery
and worse. Drudgery, underpaid
or unpaid, is slavery, pure and

grafton. Any stiff, white paper will
serve, but regular water-calor paper
is best. 1t can be bought by the yard.
A yard and a half will make good
sized shade. Ordinarily they are made
about ~ inches wide and Is inches in
diameter. The edges should be curved
and the ends slanted, so as to make the
upper edge slightly smaller than the
lower. The paper is decorated, of
course, before the ends are fastened to-
gether. The fastening is a little wire
clasp something like those used to'fas-
ten together sheets of manuscript, but
without the brass head. The point of
junction may be covered with a ribbon
band, ending in bow at the top and
bottom.
Those who cannot paint sometimes
paste gilt or silver paper over the white
in decorative designs, and the result
is pretty enough for common use.
These pretty shades have the great
advantage that, while they veil the OBJ
iectionable glare of the light, they do
not subdue it SO unpleasantly as the
tinted or fancy paper shades. They
are also more in keeping with the new
styles in lamps and bric-a-brac IN gen.
eral. Wire frames made purposely for
them sell at so cents and 81; but it is
easy to make wire frame to fit a tub.
The small candle shades are very
easily made, and number of them
perched about a candelabra give pref
ty effect. They need not be more than
Jour or five inches in diameter and
three inches wide. These may be stuck
together with liquid glue, and the dec
grafton conceals the point of junction.
Any kind of fancy paper may be used
for any of the shades described, but
when one begins to use dark tfnts there
is danger of hiding ones light, which
is open to objection unless subdued
light is preferred-as in studio or
Turkish room.

THE NEW LAMP SHADES.
They Are Called "Empire," But Look More
Ttlxe

They are Called "Empire," But Look More
Like Tubs.
The newest lamp shades look like in
yerted tubs. They are imported from
france, along with other things Napo-
leonic which have deluged the markets
for two years, and are called Empire
shades.
Those which come from Paris are
hand-painted, and range from one dol
lar to twenty in price, according to the
size and the elaborateness of decora-
ton. The largest shade is about as big
as a large dishpan-or, to speak more
accurately, about "a inches in di-
aneter at its lower edge. Its width
is IS inches, and if it were not trans
lucent we should have literal repre-
sentation of 1.-The light under a busheL.'
The material, however, is white paper
decorated III light colors, and in pat
terms to suit the fancy of the artist.
One of the prettiest is representa-
ton of Apollo driving the chariot of the
sun over masses of feecy clouds, with
three maidens in his wake, who look as
if they might represent Morning, Noon
and Night 1t is a pretty idea for
lamp, with the suggestion of turning
night into day.
The very large shades are intended
for piano lamps and the like. There
are, of course, smaller sizes for the TINY
Dresden ornaments that are supposed
to illuminate u lady's boudoir. These
are very daintily decorated with cupids
and blossoms, and are very small-not
more than six inches across. The same
style is used for candle shades, and
they look like tiny Illuminated drums
standing on stills on the mantel piece
or dining table.
Small Dresden lamps are the correct
thing for the dinner table-one, two
or three, according to the length of the
table. These are trimmed with little
decorated tubs and give the table quite
the air of being ready for Mime. de

years ago.

NEWSATTHE STATE HOUSE
pev;e,v of ftle Railroad Commissions
ers' Report
BY THE N. Y. RAILWAY GAZETTE.

A Very complimentary One-Other
Matters of Imteresfin the State De
parGmenfs.
The two members of the state board OF
railroad commissioners that are here at
present, Mr. Simpson and Mr.. Howe, and
Secretary Fienniken are congratulating
themselves on the rather voluminous re-
view accorded their recent annual re-
port by the Railway Gazette of New
York city.
"These commissioners" says the Ga
zette, shave only been in office since
February 6, 1895, and they are all new to
the duties of a railroad commissioner
ship, but the report is comprehensive
and compares favorably with the aver
age of such documents The commits
sioners have evidently given thorough
and Intelligent study to the prob
lens before them. Most of their dis
cussions are characterized by good judg-
ment and intelligent public spirit, though
the report is too long. As these
gentlemen of Kansas like all the rest of
US are hampered by the fact that most
of the wise sayings concerning railroad
problems have already been said, they
can hardly expect the people of their
state to read their extended discussion
with remarkable avidity. The history OF
the Kansas commission is held to indl-
cate a successful career"

the rest of the costume. Plaid velvet is
combined W it'll plain taffetas and faille as
we'll as with woolens.
A fashionable trimming for wooden
gowns consists of embroidery or braiding
on ground of white cloth. This forms
revers, vest, straps, collar and cuffs. Cos
tunes of plain cloth, ornamented with
stitching only, are also worn.
An illustration is given of a striking
costume for the early spring. It is of blue
cloth and Scotch plaid velvet in tones of
blue, white and straw. The godet skirt,
of cloth, opens over a narrow tablier of
plaid velvet, framed by gold galloon,
which is carried around the lower edge Of
the cloth portion of the skirt. The bodice,
of plaid velvet. is slightly gathered at the
waist in front and has a short rippled
basque of the same material. The figaro
is of plain blue velvet and is cut in two
points in front 1t has wide collar and
is edged all around with gold gaIloon.
The gigot sleeves, of blue cloth, are orna-
mented with lengthwise bands of galloon.
The blue velvet belt is fastened by paste
buckle. With this gown IS worn hat of
ruby straw, trimmed with an immense
bow of ruby velvet, which is held by paste
rings. Black feathers are placed at the
left SIDE JUDO CHoLLET.

The new shirt waists of figured or striped
cambria and percale have plain white or
solid colored collars and cuffs.
Velvet is exceedingly popular for skirts
to wear with different bodices Dark vel
vet is preferred especially black, as
black skirt with bright corsage is one of
the most effective and becoming ombina-
tions. Colors, particularly rich shades,
are also worn. Velveteen makes an ex-
tremely serviceable skirt for ordinary use.
The wearer of velvet or veIveteen skirt
should always bear in mind, however, that
a cane seated or bamboo chair means de-
struction to her gown.
Plush is coming to the fore again, and
it is predicted that by next winter it will
be as fashionable as it was seven or eight
years ago. 1t has been RELOCATED SO long
to the domain of upholstery that the idea
of wearing it is as little attractive that
of wearing leopard skin coats, which
strongly suggest hearth rugs.
