CROMWELL AND LINCOLN.

Contrast Cromwell's conduct with
that Of Lincoln just before his second
election as President. There was a
time in the summer Of 1864 when it
looked as if the Democrats would win
and elect Mcclellan. At that time it
was infinitely more essential to the
salvation OF the Union that Lincoln
should be continued in power than it
was to the salvation of the common
wealth in 1854 that Cromwell should
he continued in power Lincoln would
have been far more excusable than
Cromwell if he had insisted upon keep
ing control. Yet such thought never
entered Lincoln's head. He prepared
to abide in good faith the decision Of
the people, and one of the most toucn-
ing incidents of his life is the quiet
and noble sincerity with which he
made preparations, if Mcclellan were
elected. to advise with him and help
him in every way, and to use his own
power during the interval between
NcCleIIan's election and inaugurati IN
in such a manner as would rebound
most to the advantage Of the latter
and would increase, as far as possible,
the chances for the preservation Of the
Union. It was at this time of Crom-
wells life that at a parting OF the

family of plant blood suckers, however,
for you may see them or some of their
relations on favOrite rose bush or ap-
pie tree or hopyine or in the bean or
cabbage patch any day this summer.
1t is usually a leaf green in color, but
in the case of the apple tree aphis it is
the color of the bark and has a woolly
covering, and the peach tree aphis is
black. You can study aphides best on
a tender shoot Of a rose bush or a rose
bud. Put a bit o. stalk under a magn1-
flying glass and you can watch the lit
tie creatures tumble about awkwardIy
on their long legs, and fasten to the
stalk by the proboscis with which they
suck the juice from the plant. At the
end Of the abdomen may be seen two
tubes with a tiny transparent drop of
fluid standing on each. This is honey
dew or aphis milk on which tie baby
aphides live. Ants are also very fond
of honey dew and their habit of collect
ing it has cause. the apnis to be called
the ants COW. The little red black
spotted 'lady-bug that you tell to fly
away home is known as the aphis eater.

TRADE UNIONS AND MACHINERY

The whole story of trade-union re-
strictions is another chapter in the
history Of the futile, because mistaken
and misdirected, struggle against the
introduction of the machine to
emancipate the labourer. The first
cutlery was against the use of machin-
cry at all; now it is against its en-
The old fallacy, that the superseded
workman must starve, is given new
dress and put to a slightly altered
task, as turtle as the first has been
shown to be by the clear light Of
events. Machinery, in replacing hand
work, has not only increased creature
comforts and raised the general stand
ard Of living to a level undreamed of
in advance, but in addition has
widened the field for labour to an even
greater degree, furnishing profitable
work for hundreds where one could
find employment before and bringing
up with it to a corresponding plane
the functions and the intelligence of
the worker. Sooner or later, it must
become apparent to all that the use of
machinery to it's utmost capacity is
only a second step in the same move
ment, destined to be equally benef1cent
in its results. And in this phase of the
evolution the machine shop is the
principal field, and the machine tool
the chief embodied exponent.
GroundIess fears are entertained, by
many, Of the effect upon the operative
of specialization and the introduction
Of automatic machinery. 1t can have
but one result; the raising of the
former partly-skilled attendant to the
grade Of a far more highly-skilled tool
maker and designer; the creation,
from common labour," Of new order
Of skilled tool-operatives and the
opening to both of wider possibilities
for the cultivation of the broader
interests of humanity.-Ch BuX-

A BUFFALO DUEL.

In his concluding paper on The
National Zoo at Washington, in the
Century, Ernest Seton-ThOmpson de
scribes duel between two buffalo
bulls.
The Buffalo herd had so far revert
ed to the native state that the old bull
ruled for several years, much as he
would have done on the plains. He
was what the keeper called not bad
boss; that is, he was not malicious in
his tyranny One Of the younger bulls
made an attempt to resist him once,
and he had to be punished. The
youngster never forgot or forgave this,
and year or 50 later. feeling himself
growing in strength, he decided to
risk it again. He advanced toward the
leader, John L." and shook his. head
up and down two or three times. in the
style recognized among Buffalo as
challenge. The big fellow was sur
prised no doubt. He gave a warning
shake, but the other would not take
warning. Both charged. But. to the
old bulls amazement, the young one
did not go down. What he lacked in
weight he more than made up IL
agility. Both went at it again, now
desperately. After two or three Of
these terrific shocks the old one
realized that he had not now his old
time strength and wind As they
pushed and parried, the young bull
managed to get under the other, and
with a tremendous heaye actually
pitched his hugh body up into the air
and dashed him down the hillside
Three times the Old bull was thrown
before he would yield, and then he
sought to save his life by flight. Bpr
they were not now on the open Plains;
the pen was limited. and the victor
was of a most ferocious temper. The
keepers did what they could, but
stout ropes and fences interposed were
no better than straWs. The old bulls
body was at last left on the ground
with sixty-three gashes, and his son
reigned in his stead. This is one Of
the melancholy sides of animal life
the weak to the wall, and aged downed
by the young 1t has happened
millions of times on the Plains, but
perhaps was never before so exactly
rendered for human eyes to see.

NEW YORK ELEVATED ROADS.

In 1871, the first section Of the elc-
waited system was constructed, but put
in operation in the following year. IN
that year the number Of passengers
carried on all surface and elevated
railroads was 138,867,00O In 1882, the
total had risen to 252,80O0 900; in 1892,
to 453. 200 900; while in 1899 it was still
further increased to 528, 228,437, and
rapidly growing. These figures are
for the old city of New York, now
known as the Boroughs Of Manhattan
and Bronx, and for paying passengers
only. In 1899 there were transferred
passengers amounting to 159,56O822,
not included IN the above 1t is inter

1898 the United States Interstate Com
nerce Commission reports that there

ENGINEERING OPENINGS
CHINA.

AS the field for the future, of course,
China stands pre-eminent on account
of it's size, its population, and its we'll
known but undevelped mineral wealth,
Offering chances and opportunities that
are to be found nowhere else in the
Orient. 1t is easily seen that the
Chinaman was once an engineer Of 10
mean ability and the question now is
whether he can become an engineer in
the future, especially in transportation
methods Reasoning by analogy is
our only means Of answering. The
Japanese, in his essentials, does not
differ radically from other Orientals
He is poor, accustomed to do his work
by the most laborious of manual
methods, even to transporting his pro-
duce to market On his back. Starting
from a point much inferior in the way
of commercial development to the
Chinese, he has built up, the greater
part by his own individual, unassisted
efforts, railway system that can take
rank with the railways of any other
country, and has demonstrated his
ability to operate them successfully
What he has done other Orientals can
do and will DOWN. Barclay Parsons

BIENNIAL GOWNS.
A Club Resolution With Important and
Expensive Results.


A Milwaukee newspaper woman is
responsible for the following story:
A woman who belongs to half a
dozen clubs told me the other day that
most of the anxiety over the biennial
gowns''-so they call it-that is effect
ing the peace and happiness of most
households in town and making all the
dressmakers rich, is to be traced back
almost directly to a mock debate that
was held in certain small, but fash
ionable, club one day last winter. II
you know anything about the ways OF
the clubwOman you will know that it
is favorite practice with her to open
her club meeting with a skirmish in
parliamentary tactics-sOrt Of grace
before meat, you know-and that the
usual procedure is to set up a motion
of straw and handle it as if it were
serious and vital thing. There is an
element of make-believe in it that
makes the parliamentary law seem like
a merry game and that is probably
why it fourishes in spite of the
scofings of men who absorb their
knowledge of it as they do some of
their other masculine attributes. One
day last winter a debate came up and
the question was something like this:
"Resolved, That every woman at
tending the biennial convention ia
June shall provide herself with at least
five new gowns that she may reflect
credit on her club and her city"
The discussion was in fun at the
start, this clubwoman tells me, but be-
fore it was finished most Of thu
speakers had gotten themselves so
worked up to the point in hand that
were talking with an earnestness that
betrayed their interest. Most Of them
went home, so as to say, more or less
confused as to how much Of the argyll
ment for the necessity OF the five
gowns was real and how much of It
was pretense, and the dressmakers
began to reap their harvest from that
date Perhaps it isn't SO, but at least
it's quite true that the woman who
have not five new gowns for the
biennial are in the minority. Most OF
them have more.

So one way to make life a burden to
the plant louise is to catch lady-bugs
and start them in to raiding a COM
munity Of these little green vampires
In the case of rose bushes a busting
With hellebOre or paris green, after
rain when the powder will be dissolved
by the water, will usually be sufficient
to rid the plants of the pest, but these
powders are both poison and should be
handled carefully, and only enough
bought to use at one time.
1t is only the wingless aphides that
you will ever see and therefore only
half Of the little pests, for every other
generation of them has wings, and are
no larger than gnats or midges as they
fly about An aphis never looks like
its father but always like its grand
father. So you will never see a baby
aphis sucking the honey dew from it's
mother unless you catch it on the wing,
as it hovers above the herd of green
cows on the bush. 1t brushes the
honey dew tubes, catches the drop OF
milk that comes out and flies away
Since the mother never looks around to
see ii it is her own baby that is getting
meal le ant plays a trick on her gy
initiating the little one.
In the fall the aphides lay eggs
which they cover over with a cottony
substance which they spin on the sur
face of a leaf. They put some granulated
honey dew. like grains Of sugar, in the
net to furnish food for the babies that
will hatch out in the spring, and then
they die, and the generations begin all
over again next year.

from trying the experiment. One Ger

Schuck married the daughter of the

his wife's influence, has made his
venture success. He is known to all
