ANTIQUITY OF STRIKES.
Labor Troubles i'm Egypt Pre-Chris-
tian Times.

Philadelphia Times.
Labor strikes are Of great antiquity Al
though. owing to the different conditions
of labor, anciently they were on somewhat
different lines from those of the present
day. As an available starting point for
such movements the case Of the Hebrews
in Egypt is given. which the Egyptians
tried to put down by the imposition of still
heavier tasks. Pre-Christian and mediseval
history also contain many instances of the
workman rebelling against what ne
thought to be material wrong The guilds
or old trade associations Of England. which
included both masters and workmen. did
something toward smoothing the relations
Of labor and capital. These were sup

THE TAX RATE OF CITIES.

The tax rate in cities and townships
while il is less discussed than national
and State taxation. is far more important
because it is a much heaviec burden than
all others combined and is the tax which
is increasing from year to year. For that
reason all questions Of local taxation
should receive more attention and be the
topic of more discussion than they have
received i'm the past. The rate of taxation
in a few cities, with the percentage of the
market value of the property upon which
the assessments are made. are of interest

Mr.. Lew Wallace. jr. in his address yes
terday declared that the labor union is in
no respect like the trust which he de-
nounces. He did MOI, however undertake
to prove that the labor union is not a COM
bination to direct labor in the interest of
its members. What Mr. Wallace calls a
trust is a combination OF capitalists to
control the production and fix the price of
an article. If it can do this the trust ere
ates a monopoly. The labor union is or
ganized to control labor in certain lines and
to fix the hours and wages. 1t will not, as
rule. permit men who are not members of
unions TO work alongside of its members in
the same employment More than any
combination of capital the combination of
labor seeks to create a monopoly by re-
stricting employment in any department of
production to it's membership.

to limit Stephenson to the Rocket"
type of locomotive. The carriage, of
which this is sectional view, is sixty
feet long and ten feet ten inches wide,
and has accommodation for 100 pas
sengers, each person having separate
seat, specially arranged so as to avoid
discomfort while passing round the
curves at high speed. The electric
current is picked up by trolleys at
tached to the car, but insulated from
the bottom of the bogies fexibly
coupled together by q specially de-
signed joint, of which the carriage
consists. The bottom part of the car
riage is quite open, so that all the
guide wheels are exposed to view, and
there is ample play between the car
riage and the line. The motors only
are completely shut off on all sides by
q box for their protection. The guide
wheels are two feet in diameter, and
there are sixteen. They are very
broad, and are inclined vertically to
the trestles, instead of being horizon
tai, thereby considerably reducing the
friction. The guide wheels below the
driving wheels are attached to the I'M
der frame Of the carriage, and those
between the two small bogie wheels
are attached to the centre of the bogie
itself, so that they cannot move at all
with the carriage frame.

The numbers 1, 2 and in the accom-.
panying pictures indicate, respectively,
the first, second and third qualities of
meat, as they are rated in the markets
of Paris, London and Berlin. 1t will
be seen that in France the entire rump
and q small portion of the back are re-
garded as of first quality, that the
shoulder and flank take second rank.
and that the head, limbs and stomach
are not highly priced. In London and
Berlin, on the other hand, only the up
per part of the rump is regarded as Of
first quality, though not better than
the loins, and the shoulder is con-
signed to the third rank.
These differences Of taste are not
more striking than the differences be-
tween the animals themselves. A Dur
ham has sharply defined head and a
small neck and shoulders; it's back is
large, and is developed in horizontal
direction, the evident reason being be-
cause breeders took most pains to i'm
prove that portion OF the animal in
which Is the fillet, so dear to the Eng
lish and German palate. On the other
hand the rump is hardly developed at
all. In a Limousin COW, on the con-
trary, the rump is greatly developedYH
"These differences are not the result
Of chance" says NJ. Paul Diffloth, a
well-known French agriculturist, who
has been studying the subject. "The
Durham COW Of to-day was created,
so to speak, by the brothers Charles
and Robert Colling, and its ancestors
We're the shorthorns that used to feed
on the pastures of Durham. Their
shape was faulty, however, and Rob-
ert Colling, noticing one day beauti-
fully formed calf in a yard behind
blacksmith's shop, determined to try
and improve the breed by means Of it.
"The experiment succeeded, and
from this calf, known later on as the
celebrated Hubback, the Durham of
to-day are descended. These English
cattle differ in many respects from
those of France, and the difference
