To an American, accustomed to the
loose methods and wasteful habits Of
her country and people, there are few
things more interesting and genuinely
amazing than the thrift, the economies,
the ways of European households. Mrs.
O., We will say, has taken a furnished
house in London. She considers herself
a good manager at home. She is deter
mined not to be cheated abroad. She
gets up in the morning and, finding the
day chilly, she decides to order coal and
kindling. She gives an order according
ly that makes her coal merchant lout
low and smile with brown sugared
sweetness, while her cook stares, and,
if she be an honest woman, cries out !;
"All that, mem? Wherever shall we
put 'em? Whatever shall we do with
'em?" She fears that she has made a
mistake, having plenty of American
cleverness and adaptability. She re-
sends half the order. The tradesman $
face is study now. His expression
changes wonderfully, and SO does his
manner. The barometer has stood at
"servile" and "obsequious " 1t drops
to "civil disgust" toward her, while he
fings look of hatred at cook as he
leaves the room, which being interpreted
means: lyon fool, you miserable mar
plot, what do you get by being so idiotic
as to have con ience? Why didn' t
you let her give lig order and steal
nobly and get your commission? But
Mrs. G. does not undo rstand this at all.

Mistaken.

There had been rather bad runaway
accident i'll mountain town. Several
persons had been injured, and the doctor
was miles away. But, as good luck
would have it, a clever young medical
student happened to be on the ground
and did excellent service.
When the doctor came, there was
nothing to do, but he listened with
great interest to his young colleague's s
exposition of the cases. They talked for
a long time on the hotel piazza. The
farmer who had been driving the horses
and was himself unhurt listened with
eager interest to explanations wherein
scapula, humerus and clavicle played
prominent parts.

He knew good writing when he saw
it, and also good verse, and he liked
both, not as a merchant likes goods, but
as an artist loves art There never was
an editor more inspiring to his subordi-
mates. His taste was a literary standard
that was respected from San Francisco
to Eastport. Very possibly the best day,
to have known Mr.. Dana as an editor
were the old days when The Sun was

Marker Is a lonely islct on the Dutch
coast, which of lltr years has been Wis
tied by crowd IF strangers who be-
lieve i'll going to places out of the ordi-
nary stereotyped lines If travel 1t is u
fiat, fertile island, and the people pre-
serve much of the simple manners and
frugal habits Of two and three centuries
ago. The old style of wooden shoes are
worn and make the village streets as
noisy as stone crusher. They have old
fashioned kitchens in their homes, with
goodly fireplaces, and also little clay
stoves, i'll which charcoal is used for
fuel. In few there are stoves which
burn coal, but these are a rarity. The
good housewives preserve foods accord
ing to recipes which have been kept as
heirlooms. Some of the preparations
are very delicious. They treat fish in an
odd manner. The fish is thoroughly
scraped, split and cleaned, put into a
pot with salt, inter, vinegar and spices,
including cinnamon, Glove bay leaves,
laurel, peppercorns, mustard and cay
enne, More fishes are added until the
pot is almost full when it is put in a
storeroom and covered with an earthen-
ware cover.
1t stands until it is thoroughly SOUS
cd, which is known by the bones becom-
ing soft through the dissolving of the
lime by the vinegar. When this stage
is reached, the fish are removed with
great care and put into smaller crooks
or jars and are then covered with fluid
made from water, vinegar, oil, the
spices mentioned, onion, leek and some
times Glove Of garlic. These crooks
are sealed in clumsy fashion, the com
monest way being with stout brown pa
per, paste and cord. Fish treated in
this manner retains its delicacy Of fla
vor, is very white and very appetizing.

times as the present, when money is
so modest of demeanor, and the
price of silver so low. Once after
the long crosscut was started the
owners advised Mr. Nelson to quit
the crosecut, but he offered such
reasons for its continuance as were
able to turn the will of the promot-
ors in the direction of thorough
investigation. TO demonstrate the
complete truth of his theory about
faults, the superintendent has driven
the main level north past the slip in
to the country rock, and caught the
main vein on the north side of the
fault so as to tie up the divided ends
of vein which was heretofore
thought to be continuous.
The result of this venture is a
feather in the cap of the one who
planned it, and a glorious achiev-
ment in the progress of the camp.
That Neihart is destined to become
great camp is assured. That her
veins are small and pinched is prov
ed untrue. That her ore continues
not with depth is equally signally
disproved. And with any legisla-
ton favorable to silver we will have

A NEW LABOR MOVEMENT.

An important movement in labor
circles-perhaps the most impartant
since was formed the "A. r. Z. is
that about to be instituted in the
western states. Not long ago the
executive board Of the Western
Federation of Miners, through Pres
ident Boyce submitted proposition
to the local unions which aimed at
coalescing all the trades and labor
assemblies of the west under one
head AS the federation of miners
is much the strongest body of labor
in the west, it is but fitting that
such proposition should emanate
from that source.
The result of the vote taken by
the local unions is announced favor
able to such coalition, and the call
has just been promulgated by Pres.
Boyce to every trade and labor as
sembly in the west to send dele
gates to Salt Lake for a grand labor
conference whice is to be held May
8 next, to discuss plans Of organiza-
ing the new body. The basis OF
representation for such body shall
be one delegate for each $50 mem
bers or fraction thereof, for each and
every assembly within the federal
jurisdiction but no proxies will be
recognized. This will give Neihart
three representatives.
This move if successful, will unite
under one head almost 100000 la
borers of all kinds and classes whose
actions henceforth will be mutual
for mutual ends. There is no man
to question that such an organiza
ton will be productive Of great
good, provided always that upright.
ness of principle and wisdom of di
rection shall characterize its actions.

Modest, but Self Reliant.

General Grant neither Overestimated
nor distrusted himself. He was modest
and inclined to claim less than his due
but he was also self reliant and persist
ent An anecdote related by Mrs. Sher-
wood in her "Epistle to Posterity" sets
forth his disposition to accord to others
their due and to claim little for himself
save the virtue of "getting there. "
Mrs. Sherwood told him Oh one occa-
sion that an English officer who had
been present at the dinner given him
by the Duke of Wellington in the Wa
terloo chamber had told her i'll London
that he thought him very learned sol

only meant to get there.
In 1865, just after the close of the
war, General Grant visited West Point,
his old alma mater, accompanied by
Mrs. Grant.
"We were in the library writes
Mrs. Sherwood. "The examination was
going on, and Professor Bartlett left
the room, coming back with Grant on
his arm. The professors rose to receive
him. think poor General Grant nearly
sank through the floor. He WINGED as he
never had done in the face of the enemy.
"'Those dreaded professors rising to
do me honor! Why, felt all the cadet
terror all over me, he afterward said.

got outside and began shaking hands
with all mankind and womankind, but

The war spirit in America is ram
pant. The feeling manifested by
leading citizens in various parts of
the country is that the United States
owes Spain threshing and that the
big republic should not quit until
the cowardly monarchy is driven out
of the Gulf. The Maine disaster is
enough to rekindle the revolutionary
fire and cause young America to
talk of war as preferable to peace
under relations such as exist be-
tween this country and Spain. And
we take up the cry with loud
"Amen."
