nnMCIISH BILBS.

Marshland, the stretch of flat country so,,+h of the Wash, is just now the soone of an interesting experiment that has for it's object the breaking doWll oi tho monopoly of Dutch bulbs in English flower gardens. The Haarlem ounes' with their peculiarly light yet moist soil. have given Holland what has so far been an undisputed monopoly Ill this cultivation. It is now claimed that inc soil reclaimed from the sea in Marshland has all the characteristics that nt to compete with, and even to beat the Dutch productions. The new industry owes it's inception to a local schoolmaster, MT. Bryant of Ter rineton. and the first experimental plot was planted three years ago. Hya- cinths. daffodils. snow-drops, and lilies have succeeded beyond expectation, and have recently carried off first prizes against Dutch growths. One of the largest Dutch growers has visited the bulb farm, and admitted that what he saw was equal to anything to be seen in land.-From the Westminster Gazette.

A REALITY STRIKE.

The women employed in the Vesta mills at Providence, R l., are on strike because their employers will not con cede them time enough to make them selves look pretty. These women. have in the afternoon, so that they might have three-quarters of an hour In Whlch to array themselves, clean up, and put on the few last finishing touches before going out the gates at 6.
 The employers, deeming three-quar- ters of an hour an unconscionably> long time even for the beautifying of wo- man, notified the girls that they must work up to o'clock and do their beau tifying afterward. The women sought to compromise on half an haur, then on 15 minutes, but failed in each case. Then they asked for 10 minutes, and when the employers refused this they offered, if they could have 10 minutes before closing time for dressing, etc, to cut off 10 minutes from their nooning. When this also was refused they struck. It is anticipated that the em- ployers eventually will make the con cesslon, which they ought to do in conn mon justice, as the women make an apparently fair offer and one which would give the employer full time
 Thus the first beauty strike in this country goes on record. That the Wo- men will will in quite certain, for to pa well l-dressed and lok pretty Is the crowning ambition of woman, whether she works in the Vesta mills and lives in a cottage or does not work at all and lives in a palace. That she will oc- complish it is as sure as anything car be, and it is useless for man to oppose it. Indeed, he would be the firsttone tc | regret it if he succeeded. HOW long would the Vesta mill proprietors enjoy seeing a lot of slatterns leaving the work every night at o'clock?
 1 In this matter men have great ad' vantage over women. They do not care | to look pretty The most of them coult l not look pretty if they did care. The | workman who should attempt to lool pretty as he left his work would Dc 1 ieered at, if not mobbed, by his asso-
 ciates. To this extent his labor is mor'
 practical and valuable than that of tn,
 woman who has to fix and go hom'
 looking pretty. The day probably vii
 never come when he will not go iron
 his work with smirched hands and be | spattered clothes. Workingmen strik 1 for various reasons, some of them just l some of them absurd, but they VII
 never strike for time in which to max
 themselves look pretty. That Is wo mans privilege, and one upon whicl she will insist.-Chicago Tribune.

Der of the faculty or citizen took deeper or more wholesome interest in the student life. He was not one of the characters" In the sense of being peculiar, because he was one of tho most sane and well-ordered of mortals: but he was friendly and tactful. disr charged a. trust which might easily have been abused, with conscientious exactitude.

INSIDE THE GROCERY.
Some Facts Made Known.

If is often thought that grocers really have very little care regarding the food value of the articles they sell, but the real facts are that grocery keepers of the right sort are extremely particular as to what they recommend.
 One of the fraternity relates tale. "The highest priced coffee on the mar l,et I introduced to my customers and used myself. I began to have bilious attacks and after little observation attributed them directly to coffee Every time I left off drinking it l got better. but I felt the need of a warm drink for breakfast.
 Along in '96 wholesale grocer urged me to put in some Postum Food Coffee in my store which I did with consider able misgiving, for, at that time, the now famous Postum was not so well known.
 He urged me to try it myself, which I did and was disgusted with the fiat. tasteIess beverage. so was my wife. l remembered the wholesale grocer said something about following directions csref,1l1v, so I took the package and studied it. I at once discovered that we had not boiled it long enough, only three or four minutes, but it must be hoiled 15 minutes at least, so we tried it again, with the result that we got a perfect cup of coffee, delightful and healthful beverage. l have continued the use of Postum in my home ever since. We use it for breakfast, dinner and supper
 My bilious attacks quickly left and l am free from them altogether. l began to explain to my customers something of the value of Postum Coffee and now have a very large trade on il" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

 Scientists. or at least the more dis erect among them, naturally shrlnK from lifting their puny explanations and predictions in the face of such an earthshaking and incalculable disaster. What is a geologist that thou art mind ful of him ?-so the gigantic and unfore- seen convulsions in the West Indies seem to ask in scorn. Yet one geolo- gist at Washington comes forward to soothe apprehension about the Danish islands, and to assure the public that no volcanic action can endanger that future possession of the.

We can easily lm- agine that Denmark will be more ready to part with such uncertain property, now that she has seen French and Eng fish possessions in the Lesser Antilles ruined in a moment. The particular enterprise in which the appalling cata's-- trophe should make the United States pause. is the building of an lsthmlan canal. Nicaragua is right in the line or volcanic disturbance, and seems a pe- culiarly risky spot for the investment of two hundred and fifty million dollars in a. canal wholly dependent upon an inland lake which single earthquake might drain dry. Even at Panama the danger from volcanic shock, thougn much less than at Nicaragua. undoupt- edly exists There, however, a sea-level oara1 could be cut Even that could be, of course, wrecked by any such shatter- ing of the earth's crust as has over whelmed St Pierre; but much less se- rio,is movement would be enough to de- stroy canal at Nicaragua with it's six or eight locks,-New York Evening
