In domestic affairs perhaps the most
rotahle incident ami one that has given
the administration more satisfaction than
anything accomplished in the whole four
years, was the ending OF the great railway
strike OF July, 1894, 10y recourse TO
equity proceedings to upheld the freedom
of interstate commerce, instead of the
Gust omary resort to criminal proceedings
or military law. In this manner, according
TO Mr. Olney, who at the time was Attor-
ney General, it was demonstrated that
there still survives that ingrained and
deep-seated regard and respect for the
laws of the land which has ever been
Characteristic, as well as a chief, safe
guard of our institutions, and which en-
ables us to present TO the world the as
tonishine spectacle of nation of i0,0G0,-

as there was piIlaee, arson, nd feloniOus

had unauestionable jurisdiction, but con
tended that the United States was ound
to maintain interst ate railroad trans

do this the novel application Of an old
principle was adopted. An injunction pre-
venting interference was regularly pro-
| cured, and when the strikers defied that
their leader, Debs, and his ass ociates were
impris oaed for contempt. Without lead
ers the strike quickly ended. Acc ortling
| to Debs himself:
THE men went back to work and the
strike was ended, not by the army and not
by any other power. but simply and solely

ployes."

There has just died in Liverpool
John Geddes, who was once the hero
of a rather stirring incident. In 1SGt
a very old building in Edinburgh, con-
tanning about twenty tenants, fell.
The Geddes family were among the
occupants. Although many lives were
lost, many of the inmates were res
cued in a remarkable mfnner. The
accident occurred on a Saturday, and
ON Sunday the crowd became so great
that the provost sent for and received
the assistance of a company of the
Cameronians from the castle to aid
the police in keeping order. Under
great risk, the work of excavation was
carried OH during the whole of Sun
day. For several hours the rescuers
had labored to reach the little boy
Geddes, guided by his voice. While
the men were clearing away the dc

The Angel of the Home,

She does not mike any fuss about it,
nor ask to have a reporter at her ell
bow. But her SUNNY heart and self
forgetting love will not let her hands
be at rest while there is any bit of
helpful service she e render. If She
can, without observations, slip the
burnt roll or undercrust on her plate;
it is done. If some ore must stay at
homo when there is a days outing, she
tells, with music in every tone, how
glad she will be to be left quietly be-
hind and have time all to herself to
do even so many things she has i'll
mind. And non suspect, from word
or tone, how great the sacrifice to give
up the pleasure.
Her quick eye detects the oversight
or neglect on the part Of another. and
she quickly hastenS to remedy the
matter, careful that none shall know
her hand has made up another failure.
Is a harsh round of judgment started
by some ill-advised criticism? She

the sweetest possible word for the

sation to other topics.
Do we not recognize this 'angel|'
We call her mother, wife, sister. In

MIGRATING SWALLOWS.
Watching Their Flight Along the
Thames on a Rainy Evening.

PhuMes on n Rainy Evening.
If the late Mr.. Seebohm had wit
messed the scene which I did on the
evening of Sept. Is, he might have
addict d chapter to that on the migra-
ton night on Heligoland, which is the
locus classicus of that brancli III brni.
thology.
1t was a dark, dripping evening, and
the thick osier bed on Cheswick Eyot
was covered with wet leaf. Between
D and 6 o'clock immense fights of
swallows and martins suddenly ap-
peared above h eyot, arriving. not in
hundreds. but Int thousands and. tens
of thousands. The air vas thick with
them. and their numbers increased
from minute to minute. Part drifted
above, in clouds, twisting round like
SCOT in a smoke wreath: Thousands
kept sweeping just over the tops of
the willows, skimming SO thickly that
the sky-lihe was almost blottcd out for
the height of from three to four feet.
The quarter from which these armies
of, swallows came was at first undis-
coverable. They might have been
Matched, like gnats, from the river.
In time l discovered whence they
came. They were literally dropping
from the sky" The focks were tray
cling at a height at which, they were
quite invisible in. the cloudy air, and
from minute to minute they kept drop
ping down into sight, and so perpendic-
ularly to the very surface of the river
or of the cyot. One IF these flocks
dropped from the invisible regions to
the lawn ON the river bank on which
l stood. Without eXaggeration l may
say l saw them fill from the sky. for
| was looking upward, and saw them
when first visible as descending specks.
The plunge was perpendicular, till they
were within ten yards of the ground.
Soon the high-fying crowds of birds
drew down and swept for a few min
utes low over the willows. from end to
n of the eyot, with Il sound like the
rush of water in a hydraulic pipe.
Then by a common impulse the whole
mass settled down from end to end of
the island, upon the osiers. Those in
the center of the eyot We're black with
Swallows-like the black blight on
beans. Next morning, DIT $50 o'clock,
every swallow was gone. In half an
hours watching not a bird was seen.
Whether they went on during the night
or started at dawn, l know not. Prob
ably the latter, for Gilbert White o.ce
found a heath covered with such q
flock of migrating swallows, which did
not leave till the sun dispelled the
mists. The whole army are now, l
hope, catching gnats in the Nile valley
or beyond the Atlas mountains.-Cor-
reSpondence of the London Times.

what Is Expected of the Woman Who
Marries IA Preacher.
To be a minister's wife does not
necessarily mean to be a model of fe-
male perfection. but if the picture Of
the successful one, depicted by a min
lster's widow in the New York Re-
corder, is accepted, the girl who weds
a parson assumes a difficult spons
bility. This is what she must be-:
First of all, a sympath etic woman
and her teal wells must be neal the
surface that she may weep readily
with the repentant sinner, the godly
pharisee, and for the erring world
when called upon to do 80. She must
be something of a theologian in order
that she may lend a timely suggestion
to her husband when he requests it.
She must be able to offer a prayer
worthy of emulation and to be presi-
dent of the church aid society. While
she sews for foreign missions and
makes stocking supporters and ear
muffs for the cannibals, she must
guard well the suits and trappings
of the parsonage inmates lest
UllC CuSlC eye vi SOulc SOll-lW~
posed deputy discovers evidences of
her neglect. She must cultivate a
feeling of gratitude to the church Wig
lance committee, who walk in occa-
sionally to count up the broken crock
cry and inspect the wallpaper previous
to a donation. She must be some-
what of a cook, in order that she may
send broth and blanc mango to the af-
ficted, and somewhat of an authority
on disease, to prescribe paregoric and
liniment to the needy. Of her the
world expects so much and gives so
little in return. Her individuality is
entirely swallowed up by those whom
she serves. She is not even RESPONSE
