Alone with God.

In those days of hurry and hustle
We find ourselves face to face with a
terrible danger; and it is this-no time
TO be alone with God. The world, in
these last days, is running fast; we
live In what is called "the age of prog
ress, and you know we must keep
pace with the times So the world
says. But this spirit of the world
has not confined itself to the world.
1t is, alas! to be found among the
saints of God. And what is the
result? The result is. no time to be
alone with God, and this is immediate
ly followed by no inclination to be
alone with God. And what next? Sure
ly the question does not need an an
swer. Can there be any condition
more deplorable than the condition of
a child Of God who has no inclination
to be alone with his father?-London

A great commotion seems to have taken
place among railway circles, owing to a
contemplated through car service between
the Pacific coast and Chicago which is to
operate one day each week. This is not a
new departure by any means, as the Den
yer & Rio Grande Railroad company and
its connections have been operating a
through car service between the Pacific
and Atlantic coasts, via Salt Lake, Pueblo,
Denver, Kansas City and Chicago for
years, and three days each week, viz:
every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
evening. The cars for this through SER
vice are of the latest Pullman design, and
are supplied with new clean linen and bed
ding throughout. A Pullman porter is as
signed to each car. These cars are under
the personal supervision of a special excur-
sion agent, whose duty it is to see that
passengers are given every comfort and
attention.
For further information, apply to any
agent, or to B. F. Nevins, general agent,
Or to H. M. Cushing, travelling passenger

RaIIroad prohibition.

The railroad companies have given
another evidence Of their appreciation
of the value of prohibition as means
Of preserving order.
AS a result of the strikes Of the coal
miners, trouble is apprehended at Mt.
Pleasant and Coal Run. To facilitate
the preservation of order the railroad
companies have issued orders that no
intoxicating liquors will be received
for shipment tosthese towns.
OF course, in this NATTER the raii-
roads have assumed an authority that
does mot belong to them. The rail-
roads are not the parties to determine
whether liquor shall be sold at any
point or not. The railroads are COM
mon carriers and are bound by law to
carry any mechandise offered to them.
The matter of deciding where and when
liquor shall be sold belongs to the pub
lie authorities and not to the railroad
companies. But the railroad compa-
MES have been so long accustomed to
governing the country that it probably
never occurred to them that they were
assuming powers which belonged to
some one else.
Nevertheless their action is an inter-
esting and valuable testimony to the
efficacy of prohibition in preventing
disorder. These railroad companies
evidently do not believe that prohibit
ton increases drunkenness, for
1t is drunkenness they wish
to prevent. They evidently de
not believe that prohibition
don't prohibit" for if they did
they would not lose the profit on
freight. They evidently don't believe
that prohibition increases law break
ing, for it is law break
ing-on the part of the miners they
wish to avoid. Taken altogether, this
unlawful action on the part of the
railroad companies is one of the
strongest and most unanswerable argu-
ments in favor Of prohibition and one
which will give some people some
thing to think about.-The New Era.

Prospectors, Man of Utah.

The Passenger Department of the Rio

the older districts, and calling special at

gions which recently have shown import
ant uncoverings of gold and copper, now
attracting notice of prospectors, investors
and others.

sheen as Sailors.

Sheep make good sailors. Their hab.
it of sticking close together probably
enables them to acquire sea-legs sooner
than other animals. They become quite
tame after a short experience on board
ship. Once in Genoa we were supplied
with one of the most extraordinary
looking animals of the breed l have
ever set my eyes on. His horns were
twisted nearly twice round, and his
nose was a real Wellington" He was
at home on board in few hours after
his arrival, and continued to enlarge
the circle of his friends by making
some three or four voyages with me 70
India. In the matter of food he was
by no means particular. Pea soup was
his favorite dish. Hot potatoes or any
vegetable he took a fancy to were cas-
lily obtainable. He had but to watch
the sailor who carried these things
from the galley to the fo'c'sle, and by
butting him until he rolled over or
threw the contents of the dish to him
he succeeded in getting the desired
dainties. He became latterly the ter
ror of the sailors lives at meal hours,
but his outrageous conduct having been
the result of their own teaching, they
never complained. His evil practices,
however, became so great that 1 had.
though with some regret, to close his
career as a shipmate.-Captain John
Balm.

month of July gives the causes which
led up to the strike of the Amalga-
mated Society of Engineers for an
eight-hour day without reduction of
pay. It appears that up to June 18th.
ninety-fve employers of engineering
labor (including many firms engaged in
other trades and only employing en-
gineers Incidentally had adopted the
eight-hour system in London. On the
other hand, many of the principal en-
cheering firms in London had refused
to concede the reduction of hours. and
had AFFILIATED themselves to the EN-
ployers' Federation of Engineering as
sociations, with view to an organized
resistance. During the past month
about sixty more employers in London
have conceded the mems demands, rails
ing the total number of firms working
under the eight-hour system in London
to between 1850 and 100, employing from
10000 to 1900 workmen of the classes
concerned. OF this total about $500
we're already employed under the eight
hour system in government or private
workshops before the beginning OF the
present movement. On June 18th a
meeting of the employers federation
was held at Carlisle to consider the
question, at which most of the import
ant centers of the trade were repre-
sented. At the same time the Joint
committee of the mems unions decided
to give notice to three London firms
connected with the employers fedora
ton, that their members would be
withdrawn if their terms were not
granted, and this decision of the COM
mlttee was ratified by meetings Of the
men engaged in these shops. These
notices were handed in on June 28th,
and expired on July Sd. Engineers in
the employment of three other London
nrms also voted in favor of strike and
handed in their notices. On July list
a joint meeting of representatives Of
the Employers Federation of Engineer
ing associations, the Associated Ship
Builders and the Iron Trade Employ
ers' association was held at Manches-
ter, when it was
RESOLVED, That in the event of the
members of the trade unions repre-
scented by the joint committee of those
unions for securing a reduction of the
working hours in London from fifty
four to forty-eight per week going out
on strike as threatened in any work.
shop belonging to a member of the fed
Grated employers, notice will immedi
ately be given by the members Of the
associations affiliated to the federation
that reduction of hands of rs per
cent will take place of the members of
such unions in their employment.
Accordingly, as soon as the men
ceased work in the selected London
shops, lockout notices affecting % per
cent of the members of the allied
unions were posted by the federated
employers. The Amalgamated Society
OF Engineers at once gave instructions
that in all cases in which notices of
lockout were issued to 25 per cent of
their members, the remaining rs per
cent should hand in notices to cease
work at the same time, and should at
once cease working any overtime. The
strike promises to be stubbornly con-
tested, as both sides are literally sup
piled with money and are thoroughly !
organized.-Ex.

The Man Ont of a Inb.

The civilized man out of a job is not
near SO well off as his savage brother
in the jungle. He in the jungle lives.
He has free access to the land and en-
joys the bounties of nature without let
or hindrance. When he draws his bow
in quest of his dinner no game warden
'dares say nay. If he casts his spear
into the stream to land a fish for his
breakfast no owner of riparian privi-
leges dares say: Thou shalt notw He
is infinitely better off than his civilized
brother who is a tramp and outlaw
on the highways and a trespasser and
transgressor when he leaves them. 1t
is a fearful arraignment against our
civilization to say that a return to the
liberty and breechclout of the savage
would enlarge our happiness and in
crease our ability to live, but such is
the case, The man out of a job is
worse off than the savage. Give the
unemployed a chance! Give them
work! -Machinist Journal

We may if we choose, make the
worst of one another Every one has
his weak points; every one has his
faults. We may make the worst of
these; we may fix our attention con-
stantly upon these. But we may also
make the best of one another. We
may forgive, even as we hope to be
forgiven. We may put ourselves in
The place of others, and ask what we
should wish to be done to us, and
thought of US, were we in their place.
By loving whatever is lovable in those
around us, love will flow back from
them to us, and life will become a
pleasure instead of a pain; and earth
will become like heaven and we shalt
become not unworthy followers of Him
whose name Is Love.-Arthur P. STAN
