 Success in home dyeing depends wholly upon the kind of dyes used. With. Diamond Dyes, if the simple directions on the pack age are followed carefully. and the special dyes for cotton are used for cotton and mixed goods, and the wool dyes. used for wooden, there is absolutely no chance or failure. aSt.zs-i--s @.r
 Diamond Dyes are very simple and easy to use, and by using a stick to lift the goods while in the dye bath, there is no need or soiling the hands For beauty. briliiancy and fastness, no other dye stuffs,a whether for home use or for the dye shop, equal the Diamond. The latest scientific discov- cries are used in their manufacture, they are guaranteed the strongest and fastest or all known dyes, and their solid colors VIII not wash out in- the strongest soapsnds' nor will they fade when exposed to the sun light.

Of labor have been reduced something like 500o00 hours per week.
 Serious as some of the labor disputes of last year certainly were. it cannot be deN nied that the strike is passing away as @ means of settling labor troubles. and that within the United Kingdom and this coun- try less drastic methods of harmonizing disputes between labor and capital are be- coming popular with both factions in such controversies
 The inventive genius of man has never devised more novel means of transit than one that has been put in the experimental stage of operation in England and known as the Halford system of railway construc- tion. In this road the motive power is gravity alone, and it is so built that the cars are continuously moving on a down grade.
 As near as can be described from the pub lshed notices of the road the permanent way is built in sections, hinged together each end being supported by hydraulic ram. As the train reaches the junction of two sections i. puts the hydraulic ram in operation so that the ram rises, lifting the end of the section, together with the cars that are upon it. This forms an incline, or rather decline, down which the cars move by their own weight. Tie same pro- cess is repeated with each section, and in this way the train is always moving down a failing gradient. Of course the sec tions vary greatly both. in their length and steepness.
 Tho greatest ingenuity is used in the construction of the hydraulic machinery. The water is conveyed in pipes laid be- heath the rails and the admission of the water to the cylinders of the rams is con- trolled by electrical appliances on the cars. or by the weight of the train depressing the section it is passing from and in this way operating the water supply valve.
 What haS ia at known, but certainly the novel affair must have some valuable points to commend 1t it to conservative English capitalists to such an extenet as to induce him to give it an experimental trial.

The Launching.

The launching of the Kersearge
and the Kentucky was great sue
cess, and brought together enthusi-
astic thousands.
Kehtuckians were in evidence with
long continued shouts as our warship
glided into the water, majestic as If
endowed with life.
The official christening with water
was a departure from the usual GUS
tom, and will, we trust, serve as a
worthy example for future christen-
ings.
We shall be glad to hear that our
ship will be manned with officers and
crew who are temperate men, of clear
heads and pure hearts, rendered more
fit tor honorable service because they
refrain from the use of intoxicants.
Many prayers will no doubt be offered
for TIE Kentucky when ready for act
i've service. .a.
After Miss Bradley had broken the
bottle of water, others, prompted by
different motives, threw bottles OF
whisky at the warship. Some of the
daily papers have referred to these
whisky throwers as "idiots." While
we are not disposed to use this word
in reference to them, we are tree to
say their distinction is not enviable,
and such conduct discredits their
sense of propriety and good judg-
ment. ....
