The War and Organized labor.

From the Federationist: The atti-
tude of labor unions in the impending
struggle between our country and
Spain will furnish food for thought on
the part of those superior beings who
heretofore have had but little sympathy
with the aims and purposes of labor
organizations. War among working
men is not recognized as the best meth
cd of promoting general welfare, but
experience has demonstrated that ty-
ranny and oppression as applied to
governments have seldom been over
thrown without an appeal to the gauge
OF battle. In this instance the bond of
sympathy between the citizens of the
United States and the struggling inhab
ttants of Cuba has nowhere found more
active promotion than in labor's ranks.
Trades unions flourish only in coun-
tries where liberty is recognized as a
natural right. Instead of being inim-
ical to the growth and development
of free government, labor organizations
keep alive a spirit of manhood and in
dependence in their members, and the
cause of humanity, not the greed of
aggression finds in the workingmen's
ranks its best defenders, because they
have felt the force of oppression.
Spain, with her blind and barbaric
system of government, brushes labor
at home and robs 1t abroad. In her AFRO
gance she has for more than a genera
ton committed outrages upon the citi-
zens of the United States, finally muir
dertng the crew of the Maine in the
most cowardly and brutal manner. The
army of this nation will be recruited
from the ranks of toll, always loyal
to the cause represented by the flag
Of freedom. Happily the working peo-
pie will be in position to deliver a
blow at the common enemy of humani-
ty and at the same time demonstrate
that unionism means high-minded, pa
triotic citizenship.

According to government reports the
mortality of farm animals, both from
exposure and from other causes. has
been below that Of the preceding win
ter; Of horses 2 per cent are reported
IS having died from disease, against
81 per cent the previous year; of cat
tie, a mortality of 1.3 per cent from
winter exposure, and of S.8 per cent
from all causes is reported, as against
l.6 per cent from exposure and 3.5 per
cent from all causes the preceding wiz
ter; Of sheep the deaths from exposure
amounted to 81 per cent, against SO
per cent the previous year and to sd
per cent from all causes, against SIS
per cent the previous year. While hog
cholera has been more or less destruo-
tive, the total losses Of swine have
amounted only to 9.S per cent, against
14.4 per cent the preceding year. With
regard to farm animals in general the
department correspondents report them
in good condition as the result OF the
generally mild and dry winter and the
abundance of feed. In California the
winter has been a severe one, and its
effect is shown just as markedly in the
mortality of farm animals as In the

How the Radlsh Trick Is Done.

When you are sitting at the break
fast table and somebody asks you to
hand him the radishes, it is the easiest
thing in the world to take hold of the
plate containing them and to pass them
to your fellow boarder. But if you
learn the trick here explained you can
surprise him by taking hold of the rad
ish and causing the plate to cleave to
the vegetable.
1t is similar to the old trick of taking
piece of upper leather and moisten-
ing it with water, Passing a string
through the middle of the sucker knot
ted on one end it will bear thousand
times it's own weight. There is this
advantage with the radish trick-na-
ture has provided both the string and
the moisture. All you have to do is to

Tit Smiths, man and wife, discussed
an armistiee, and the man began one.
The wife, however, demurred with a
loud voice and arms akimbo, as if she
were a persistent rebel in Cuba;
whereupon the man said, in state of
disgust, well, if that's an armistics
we had better for the sake Of peace
go to war again." Some people think
it takes both sides to create an armis-
tice. What If Lincoln had proclaimed
one and Jefferson Davis had said he
wouldn't have 1t?

to understand it does not alter the

Cloth is now being successfully made
from wood. Strips of fine-grained
wood are boiled and crushed between
rollers, and the filaments, having been
carded into parallel lines, are spun in

PATRIOTIC FACTORY BOYS.
