UNNECESSARY HEROISM.
A Connecticut Mans Experience With .
 Substitute Bathtub.

Connecticut Mans Experience With .
 Substitute Bathtub.
 One of the most ridiculous situations which at the time bring the Coldest sweat out on mans brow and ever after remain with him as a constant source of mirth occurred to Shelton merchant He thought Ee would take bath, and as his fat is n mus one of the chief requisites for the job-a bathtub he extemporized one out of a small washtub and enjoyed a cooling ablu- tion.
 He had just concluded and stepped from the tub for the towel, when sud denly the top hoop of the tub burst with a sharp report, and the man saw to his horror that the whole contents of the tub would soon be flooding the floor. At the same moment he thought of the store beneath and the amount of dam age the water would do as it ran down through the ceiling. He is a man of quick thought, and in moment he did the only thing possible-threw himself down beside the tub and, elasping his arms around it, held the already fast swelling slaves together. He was suc- cessful in keeping the water in-but what a situationl He dared not yell, for be was haldly in a condition to receive callers, especially as he knew that all in the block at the time were of the gentler sex, and he realized at once that the only thing left for him vas to stay in that position until the rt turn of his wife, who was out on a shopping expe- dition.
 Like the boy who saved Holland, he manfully remained in his most uncom fortable position until relief in tho shape of his wife appeared Then, to caI the climax, when he asked her to get { rope or any old thing to tie about tht tub, she, after long fit of uncontrolla ble lauetter, asked him why he didn carry tub and contents out to the sink room and pour out the water. With [ look that froze the smile on her face h. did as she said and without a word don ned his clothing and wandered out int the cold, unfeeling world, crushed and humiliated man.-AIsonia Senti nel

man were to construe it as an assur-
ance that he had gotten away safely
during the night. When the mourners
returned to the cemetery the morning
after the funeral they were overioyed,
as not a trace of the edibles was to be
seen anywhere, and they went home
happy and contented and resumed Ia
Dor before their laundry tubs and
chartered volubly on the success of
their friends death.
The Americans, however, had a diff
ferent and more practical understand
ing of the affair. Immediately after
the funeral party had left the ceme-
terry, a gang of tramps which had been
hanging about the Santa Fe Railroad
for several days, climbed the fence to
the cemetery and devoured the food.

COSTS OF STRIKES.
Immense Amounts Lost by Employ
erS and Employees.

In the railway strike of 1877 the loss
to property and business inflicted by
the mob at Pittsburg alone is esti-
mated at 50, OOO,OO0 and the county of
Allegheny was compelled to pay S.
ISL 900 of the loss sustained during the
Pittsburg riots. The Chicago strike
cost the railways $5,35S 900, and the
employees $4,000 a total of $705S,
900, not including the loss to the Pull
man Company. The National Com
mission says that beyond these
amounts very great losses, widely dis
tributed, We're incidentally suffered
throughout the country" The Cali
fornia. fruit-growers, for example, lost
$4,000 a day. The total loss which
resulted from that one strike, in all
probability, exceeded 100000 The
telegraph strike of 1883 cost the COM
panes $4,000, and the men S250,-
600. The railway strike on the
Gould system" in 1856 cost the strik-
ers 100000, those thrown out of en-
pioyment by their action S500,000 and
the railroads So, 10000.
For the strikes that occurred from
1881 to 1856, inclusive, the wage loss
by employees is estimated by the United
States Commissioner of Labor at SOL
S14, 600, and the employers losses are
estimated by the same authority at
$50, T01 ,000 And the trouble is not
growing less as the years go by. From
1141 to 1880, inclusive, there We're
.491 strikes and lockouts; while for
the six years ending December 81,
1856, the number Of strikes alone was
% 02,-forty year for the first period,
and over go a year for the second.
Making all due allowance for fuller re-
porting of strikes in the latter period,
the contrast is still a startling one.
Surely it is cheaper as well as more
Just to settle by court than by strike.
At present we pay for the strike first,
then we pay for j commission to ex-
anime into its causes and results; let
US have the inquiry first and save the
expense Of the strike.-Prof. Frank
Parsons, in the Arena.

HE LOVED A CHORUS GIRL.
But Was Afraid She Was Too Young
to be on the Stage.

He was a chappy. He was very
new. He went to the comic opera. He
saw a girl in the chorus. Bang! He
was hard hit. How divinely beauti-
ful and how young" These We're his
thoughts He could give his heart TO
such a one, and sit there night after
night drinking in the ravishing beauty
of her eyes, her lips, her hair. How
girlishly beautiful she was. Oh, hor-
rors Disquieting thought. What if
the Gerry Society robbed him of his
bliss by forbidding her to play until
she We're the proper age? Internal
meddlers!
The performance over, he FASTENED
around to the stage door to await the
exit Of his divinity. At least once
before the Gerry Society stopped her
he would tell her how he admired her.
He would ask her to hurry and grow
older that she might again grace the
stage He watched the girls come out,
but she was not among them. At last
he asked the grun old doorkeeper if
she had departed by another exit. He
described her costume, her eyes her
lips, her hair. The old man knew her.
No, she has not gone yet" said the
man. She always waits for me-"
Heavens Could this slip of a girl se
married? And to him? No absurd!
The young man found speech.
What, are you then her father?'

entity. ''She is my mother"
