OF railroad Employees The federation scheme
is the outcome of an organization by Thomas
sullivan, conductor on the St. Panl &
Duluth railroad, and George Walker, en-
pioyed In like capacity on the Chicago, st.
Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha line The or
ders interested are the engineers, con-
ductors, fremen, telegraphers and railroad
trainmen, and the federation is the direct re-
sur OF the meeting of the head officers of the
orders at St. Louis few weeks since when
Debs' A. r. U. was refused admittance. The
purpose of the federation is practically to
make the cause of one order that of the
whole five, and when difficulties arise in one
they will be submitted to an executive board
or i've with one representative from each
organization. This will make strikes almost
an impossibility, unless three of the brother
MOODS are involved in the matter. At Sum
days meeting H. p. Connors, of the train
men, was elected president Of the board and
=. M. Goss secretary, although w. Kemp of
the freme1, owing to the fact that Mr.. Goss
has his hands full as chief of police of ST.
Paul. will practically fill the position. The
Federation will include only men employed
on the roads running into st. Paul and Min
neapolis.

Storm Viewed From Above the Clouds

Professor John Wise, the em!non: Amer.
lean aeronaut, who lost his life In making
a balloon ascension on Sept 2S, 1879, gave
the following description of thunder
storm which he once viewed from the top
side"
1.-THE view Of a stormcloud from above
Is one Of the most interesting sights ever
beheld by mortal man A storm viewed
from above the clouds has the appearance
OF ebullition. The upper surface of the
cloud is bulged upward and outward and
has the resemblance Of a vast sea of boil.
Ing, upheeving snow. Immediately above
the stormcloud the air is not so cold as 1t
Is In the clearer atmosphere above or In the
cloud itself The falling Of the rain can
be distinctly heard making q noise like a
waterfall over a precipice The thunder
heard above stormcloud Is not loud, and
the flashes Of lightning appear like streaks
of intensely white light on the surface OF
the gray colored vapor.-St Louis Repub-

When we were boys, our first lessons In
riding were taken on and off the back of a
donkey. He was a creature Of changeable
but, ON the whole amiable disposition.
When his temper gave way before the
trials to which we subjected 1t, we took
many lessons In that gentle art Of falling
off, which is SO useful supplement to
the science Of riding, rs more generally
understood. We can make this avowal
without any sense Of shame now, for 1t
happened once on day forever memora-
BILE that our donkey kicked off our riding
master himself, in all his glory OF boots
and breeohes.
Joe, the coachman's boy, declared all
our theory Of donkey riding to be moor
rect, and 1t is significant that, though the
donkey could kick off the riding master
boots and breeches and all, II entirely fail
ed to shake Joe from his seat by any Of Its
antics. But then Joo's method was en-.
tirely different from that OF the riding
masters II was indeed so simple as
scarcely to deserve the name OF method,
being contained in the single precept that
you should sit as near the tail Of the ami
NAL as possible That was the sum totas
OF his theory of donkey riding. and it
worked 10 perfection In practice. Our
uncle, who was In the navy, explained the
mechanics Of Joe's style OF riding nautical
ly. Its as plain as pikestaf, said he,

Dom Paul's Parable.

A friend of mine tells me the following
story of President Kruger: In 1889 some
uitlanders went as a deputation to him to
explain that the price of shares in mines
was going down, and they limited that he
was responsible for it. He replied: "Some
years ago had favorite monkey, for
which had a great affection. One day l
went out for an excursion into wood with
my monkey. Il was cold, SO the monkey
and made fire In that fire the monkey
burned his tail, on which he turned on me
and bit me. said to him, My dear mon
key, made fire with you to warm us;
you burned your tail in it-that was your
fault and l really do not see why you
should be angry with me- +" Having re-
lated this fable, the president smoked his
pipe and left the deputation to draw tine

OLD WHISKY BETTER THAN NEW.
Fusel Oil and Its Poisonous Effects on the
Human system.

Human System.
Tho SImmonly prevailing ideas asto the
chemistry Of whisky are evidently confus.
ed The public notion has always been
that crude or freshly distilled whisky was
injurious and that it required the mellow
ing influence of age to make it fit for con-
sumption, In other words, new whisky
was held to be deleterious because 1t con-
tanned fusel oil and that the reason why
old whisky was more wholesome was be-
cause this fusel oil changed In course Of
time to the 50 called 9nanthic ether. To
put 1t chemically, the amyl alcohol (fusel
oily oxidizes slowly into amyl ether, which
is not only thought to be innocuous, but to
improve the flavor The deputy principal
of the inland revenue branch of the gov
eminent laboratory would remove these
notions at one sweep. Thus in reply to
question before the liquor commission he
stated-and it was IA repeated statement
that it was mistake to suppose that new
spirits contained more fusel oil and were
more unwholesOme than old
With the former part of his statement
we will not now DEAL but to the latter we
| distinctly demur. 1t cannot be supposed
that whisky merchants take the trouble
! to store their whisky for years unless they
know that it is thereby improved from the
dietetic point of view. Again, it is we'll
known that so convinced are the authori-
ties of the Canadian government of the
Embellishments of new whisky that we
believe, they have regulation In force
prohibiting the sale of whisky that has
not been stored for a certain number Of
years. Fusel oil Is admittedly Injurious
indeed, according at least, to
the experiments of several observers. In
one case, for example, part of amyl al
cohol in 500 parts of water caused anes-
thesia in frogs in 90 minutes, the heart s
action becoming shower, the skin dark,
death occurring in about two hours and
the cardiac pulsations gradually ceasing
| The common effect of fusel oil is to pro-
duce intense headache, and 1t must be
borne In mind that in the case of whisky
the action of alcohol must be added TO
that of the fusel oil. The amount of fusel
oil, we believe, in whisky averages about
0.2 per cent. These observations hardly bear
out the statements made before the COM
mission. Incidentally we may add that II
is exceedingly satisfactory to find that the
consensus of opinion of the witnesses be-
fore this commission appears to be that
there is a decrease in drunkenness In thu
metropolis, but this decrease, 1t Is note
worthy, Is less among women than among
men.-London Lancet.

A Winged Foe OF Onaila.

A bird that has gained for itself the fame
Of being the most proficient game destroyer
in the northern part Of Illinois is the coop
er's hawk. 1t is especially destructive to
quails. An old accusation is brought
against the cooper's hawk. 1t is alleged
that it PUSHES at "a bevy Of Quails with such
ferceness that the scared birds leap into
the air and dash themselves against trees
or other objects. In this way the cooper's
hawk Is said to cause the death of good
many more quails than it actually kills.
Breeding from Newfoundland to Mexico
and wintering south of Massachusetts,, as
1t does, the cooper's hawk as a species feeds
on a variety of kinds of game-poultry and
game birds, song birds and frogs, lizards
and insects, besides sundry mammals and
an occasional snake. Once in awhile 1t
takes great risks to get it's food. Cooper 8
hawks az we'll as other kinds, sometimes
capture the killed or wounded victim of a
gunner.-New York Sun.

WAR CAUSED BY A SLAVE.

A Half Breed Seminole Girl Brought
About the Conflict In Florida.
In 1885 young woman, with a party
OF Indians visiting Fort King, says writ
er in Lippincott's Magazine, was seized
and carried of as fugitive slave on the
ground that her mother was an escaped
slave who had taken refuge with the In
6ans many years before. That her father
was an Indian and she had been raised an
Indian did not count for anything. Legal
claim of ownership in the mother embraced
her also. That was law at the time-the
white mans law.
Naturally the young husband, untutored
savage that he was, could not recognize
its justice. Proving both eloquent and
brave, he soon had every Indian In Florida
on the warpath, nor was it long before his
name, Osceola, was heard with terror In
the exposed white settlements. There en-
sued war, long, costly and bloody, out
OF all proportions to the number engaged
1t Is probable the Indians did not number
1900 warriors, but In the four years re.
quired to conquer them 1000 white lives
were sacrificed.
With the Indians II was battle a gu.

The Speaking Voice.

Nothing as quickly and Enthusiastically
distinguishes well bred man or woman
from those of plebeian birth or education as
the speaking voice and the carriage, two
most essential points to cultivate, and the
two which are almost universally neglect
ed by parents and masters in this country.
1t Is not so in England and France, where
even in humble life the voices are not only
naturally more musical than those found
in America, but they are so in conse-
quence of past training and cultivation.
One uses the speaking voice almost con-
tinuously, so why should it not be trained
to be as musical as possible, since sweet,
low voice Is considered powerP So much
time and attention are given to the singing
voice, which is used only upon OCCASIONS
which, of course, is to be encouraged and
commended but II one cannot cultivate
both let the preference always be given to
the speaking voice, that ones enunciation,
articulation and respiration, as we'll as the
proper pitch of the voice. may be regulated
and governed according to the most ap-
proved methods Then ones convictions
will be found to carry great weight

Though there are several large silk con.
Germs hereabouts, by far the greater amount
of the product is spun and woven in the
homes Of the people The most essential
feature OF these houses IS naturally the
roof. They are made Of cypress or cedar
bark, laid on thickly, and laid down by
long split bamboos
The rest of the house, so long as the roof
Is water tight, seems of little consequence.
The walls are of brown coarse mud, held
together by wooden uprights, sometimes
by wooden framework about two feet
square. The fronts of these dwellings have
wooden bars and windows covered with
rice paper. The floors are about two feet
from the ground and generally covered
with cheap mating. In the front OF these
houses and shops other members of the
family work sometimes at quite different
trades. wooden box making, coopering,
carpentering and all kinds Of trades, in
Guiding stone cutting, are carried on side
by side with weaving. Sometimes the oc-
cupants combine farming with weaving.
No matter what the occupation may be,
spinning and weaving abound In every

these crude wooden hand looms going from
daylight to dark. 1t may be tiny maid

Jewish New Year, 1851.

The Jewish merchants closed
their business houses last Tuesday
and Wednesday, in observance of
the New Year 5657. The Reform ed
Jews only keep one of these days,
but old or orthodox Jews observe both
days, as in their computation of the
time there is some uncertainty as to
which is the correct one.
The regular orthodox service was
held both days in the Masonic Tenn
pie.
Next Thursday the 18th, the Jews
will all again close, in observance OF
the Day oil Atonement.
