One of the greatest questions that
labor. There is hardly a day that the
t~elegraphic dispatches of the press do
not announce a strike, a lockout on
some trouble between employer and
or another. Tt seems to be a day of
strikes and labor agitation, and in those
localities where this is not h case
there are heard the complaints of scare
ity of labor. From the grain fields of
the west come appeals for labor.
Farmers have the ripe grain going to
waste for want Of h~arveters, as at the
south last fall hundreds of bales of cot
ton were lost because pickers could not
be secured.
The greatest trouble, though, is in
those sections where labor is plentiful,
but is idle because of misunderstood
i gs with or unsettled grievances
against employers. The latest case OF
this kind is the strike of the m~achinists
of the Union Pacific Railroad Company
which went into effect yesterday. effect

There seems to be no end to this kind
Of trouble which annually costs mil

employee. 1t does seem that some way

THE WASTE Of THE WAR.

A Mr. L. H. Soule of Washington
has issued a copyrighted folder on the
pension question, which is on differ
ent lines from those usually taken.
He claims that the real fighting men
of the war are not the ones who are
now drawing the pensions, and illus
trates his position as to this by cit
ing the case Of his own regiment,
which, he says, left Washington in
the spring of 1852 nearly thousand
strong, after the Peninsular cam
paingn was over. at Harrison's land
ing there were less than four hun
dred present Fifty would cover all
the number who had been killed or
wounded. The others had gradually
dropped out, the unfit, the diseased,
the shirks, and they never got back
for duty. the regiment never again
having more than three hundred and
fifty in the ranks. The majority that
had been carried on the rolls were
Tin hospitals or discharged for disa-
bilities;" he concludes that those
have all been dawing pensions since
on their good hospital record, while
those who did the real work of the
campaigns-about two-fifths of the to-
tai enrolment. as he figures it-have
the utmost difficulty in getting any
consideration when they apply for a
pension. They have no hospital rec
ord (Which seems to be the open door
to a pension), and the department
frowns upon their applications. block

Epipram on Clubs.

The immense growth of London
clubs ana of the opportunities afforded
for games of chance may serve to re-
call an epigram which "Bentley's Mis-
cellany" attributed sixty years ago to
Sydney Smith.
He was at a Sunday dinner at Hol-
land House, when the hostess said that
woman's passion for diamonds was
surely less ruinous than mans pas
sion for play at his club. Thereupon
sydney Smith took a card and wrote
the following impromptu:
Thouehtless that all that's brightest
fades,
JTnmindful of that knave of spades,
The sexton and his subs;
How foolishly we play our parts!
Our wives on diamonds set their
hearts,
We set our hearts on clubs.

The march of progress is I'M
doubtedly going to be a great thing
for the Filipino some of these days,
said a man who got back from the
islands not long ago to New YORK
Sun reporter. But one of the prices
he's got to pay for it is the gradual
wiping out of picturesque customs ana
traditions of many years standing. A
good example is the passing of the
Filipino casco before the improved and
wholly unidentified lighter of western
commerce.
The casco is a craft for coast and
river commerce and at the same time
the permanent home of its crew and
commander. or patron, the former llV-
ing forward and the latter aft. 1t

hooded or covered with bamboo, and
under the manipulations of expert
boatmen is capable of rather surprls-
ing agility. Manila is not city OF
good wharves. nor is Manila bay a
deepwater harbor, hence when big
ships arrive their cargoes must be
Iightered ashore. and this has been the
casco's work for ages.

Water with Fixed Air.

A magazines published in 1923 gives
the following method to improve water
for drinking: Let the water, when
boiled. be put into a common barrel
churn. where it may be agitated to any
degree that may be wished for. In
the course of its being thus agitated
it will absorb atmospheric air, and
other elastic fluids with which it may
come in contact. 1t will thus become
a liquor, safe, palatable and whole
some, TO be obtained with little trou-
BILE and expense, and accessible in its
utmost perfection TO the poorest in
dividual Those who wish to drink
this wholesome beverage in its utmost
perfection should, after having it
boiled and filtered, cause it to be
churned as above directed, then bot
tied, with a couple of dried raisins in
each bottle; this will give it a suffi-
Gent quantity of fixed air. If then
used it becomes truly delicious.

For the grand maneuvers the Third

THE CIVIL WAR.
Southern Idea of the Great strife Be-

Southern Idea of the Great strife Be-
tween the States.
The New York Evening Post rebukes
Gen. Grosvenor for the bitterness dis
played in his declaration that he would
call the civil strife of 1876 The
War of the Rebellion to his latest
breath, and also take exception to the
term chosen by Gen. Grant, viz, The
war between the states" on account OF
its length. In the interests of good
feeling and brevity both, it decides In
favor of The Civil War" as the most
becoming title for that unhappy period
of conflict.
The Posts position is undoubtedly
the proper one. In 1861 secession-as
viewed by thousands whose opinion
upon any subject was worthy OF all
respect-was as much constitutional
right as trial by jury or the exercise
of the elective franchise, and to apply
the term rebellion" to the govern
ment that these men set up mere
| ly proclaims a combination of ignor-
ance and prejudice.

weapon decided in the negative. and

Aunt Sallie, according to her story,

CT bernard Carries alt-Frozen Infant
to His Kennel.
Nero. a full-blooded St. Bernard dog
belonging to John Oliver, farmer or
Gates attracted the attention of his
master yesterday morning by his pecu-
liar actions. The animal would rush
m the door, whine and paw the panels
until some one came out, and then rush
off to his kennel.
After repeating this performance
some time he was followed to the dog
house where an investigation revealed
a half-frozen infant, scantily dressed
and almost buried in the straw Inc
baby was hastily carried into the house
and medical aid summoned, while Nero
showed his JOY at being understood by
uttering short barks and running
around his master.
ITpon further investigation tracks in
tho deem snow were discovered show
ing that the dog, true to his early
training in the Alps, had half carried
half dragged the baby across nelus
from the woods nearly mile distant,
where the infant either was lost or
had been abandoned. An old blanket
and some infant clothing that mad
slipned off when Nero attempted 10
