fact that the public school, as at pres-
ent conducted, is not prepared to give
the greatest aid to labor. The system
Of education now carries on in this
| country belongs to a former age and
does not recognize the needs of labor.
The children of wage earners are sent
to school too often only to be filled
with a longing to serve as interiors
in what they conceive a higher rank
rather than to lead in manual occu-
patton. 1t is we'll to teach children to
know, but it is now time that our
schools be given an opportunity to
teach them. Children who graduate
from our schools and colleges should

and factories as to keep. books, make
briefs or write prescriptions. This will

ing forms a part of the course of in.
struction in our schools.
The coming generations can never
be taught the true dignity of labor
so long as the head alone is trained
in the schools and the hand neglected.
The education which was suited to
times when to labor for bread was re-

fit for a land which desires to honor
and uplift it's men of toll. Too much
emphasis cannot be placed on the i'm
portance of training children to re-
gard labor in it's true light. Parents
who work do great injury to the cause
of labor by lamenting their lot and in
stilling into their children a dislike and
disrespect for q life of toll. If labor
is ever to receive its just rewards, it
will be when its ranks are filled by
men who command respect because
they respect themselves and their oc-
cupation. Laborers must learn that
it is man and not his work which can
command respect. Men who desires
to advance the interests of labor must
first make strong the man. who labors.
Labor unions must first order strike
against these vices and habits which
degrade the individual laborer before
hoping to wrest victory from the
powerful giants who dominate the in
dustrial world. The energy and wealth

yet the homes are sacrificed for the sake
of greed, while our women, broken
down in health and mind, are untitled
for maternal duty by the daily tread
mill of the machine and loom.
1 not here to preach the gospel
of discomfort. I am doing better today
in a financial sense than I have ever
done before, and I have no doubt that
great many of you are also; that Is
not the point; none Of us are doing well
enough.
I maintain that the man who works
in the ditch, if he is doing his best,
and all that God has given him power
to do, is entitled to just as good Hv-
ing as the richest millionaire for he is
doing no more.
A living wage should mean something
more than bare subsistence; it should
mean better homes, owned by the oc-
cupants thereof; better books, funl-
ture, carpets, pictures, clothes and edu-
cation for your children, and the as
surance of competency during ones
declining years.
If it takes all man makes to make
both ends meet during his working
career he becomes a good candidate
for the poor house in his old age.
If he got fair proportion of what he
produces there would not be these
mountains of wealth and valleys Of
poverty. We should have fewer million
aires, and at the same time fewer
papers.
The greatest and most easily applied
remedy for existing conditions and one
that is destined to work wonders for
the cause Of labor is the union label.
BY it you are able to recognize the
products of your fellow unionists; it is
a guarantee of pure and wholesome sur
roundings in the manufacture; it is an
assurance that the conditions under
which the goods are made are lin ac-
cordance with your demands. BY Great
ing a universal demand for union label
goods you would close every "scab"
establishment in America without g.
resort to strike methods.
In. conclusion want to call your
attention to the fact that the "scab" is
human; he must be won over to your
cause by humane methods. "You can
catch more flies with mo1asses than
with vinegar" Show him the advan-
tage OF joining your ranks, enlighten
MIN as to the purposes for which you
are organized: moral suasion will aug
ment your membership more rapidly
and more permanently than threats and
inuendo. Man is naturally selfish, and
as soon as you can satisfactorily de-
monstrate to the, non-union man that
it is money in his pocket to become one
of you he will join without further
parley.

How Coal Resembles Ice.

The Electrical Review calls attention
to an interesting explanation of the
burning of coal. Coal petroleum and
illuminating gas are related to one an
other much as are ice,, water and
steam. For this reason perfect COM
bustion of liquid fuel is already adj
vanced a long step toward vaporiza-
ton, just as ice is advanced toward
steam when turned into water. The
volatile elements of coal are locked up
in solid form, or virtually frozen solid.
Professor Dewar demonstrated how
great an amount of heat must be tax
en- from the so called permanent gases
to make them liquid and how much
more to make them solid. Yet nature
has solidified gas into the form of coal,
and solid coal, like solid ice, will only
dissolve into vapor through the ex-
penditure of heat.

Smells of Cities.

A famous English artist insists that
each city has its own peculiar odor;
that a stranger can smell a city-"the
great, blended odor of the entire city,"
There is truth in his remarks. When
a stranger enters Munich, there is
smell as of many breweries-a pecul-
lar, sweetish, yet pungent odor of malt,
not at all unpleasant to a beer drinker
After day or two the smell is not re-
marked, but after the stranger leaves
the city the smell is distinct in his
memory; it exerts a spell; it urges him
to drop his work, to take the next
steamship. We have not been in Mu-
mich for seventeen years, but that sweet
smell haunts us still. Paris has a pc
culiarly individual odor; so has Lon
don, so has Berlin, so has Dresden.
Boston no doubt has it's own smell,
which is highly respectable, rather
musty, with a suspicion of old family
cockroaches.

THE PERPETUAL LIGHT,
Remarkable Lamp In Louisiana
That Never Goes Out

Remarkable Lamp In Louisiana
That Never Goes Out.
1.-THE most remarkable lamp in this
section of the country" said a man
who cruises a great deal along the
coast to the New Orleans Times Dem
ocrat, lis to be found in the water area
between Lake Borgne and Mississippi
sound in a lonely, desolate, isolated
spot, where the fall of human feet and
the dip of oars are heard only four
times year.
"The light is some distance this side
Of Bay st. Louis and is a little south
of Chinchuba. 1t stands away out in
the marsh, but can be seen from the
Louisville and Nashville railroad, 1t
burns all the time, day and night
year in and year out. 1t 6ickers away
for the benefit of the mariners who
frequent these waters. 1t is the Per.
petual light. The sun, the moon and
stars may come and go, but the light
which shines out in the dismal marsh
is always the same. 1t is the one
bright thing in a rather dismal stretch
of country. Seaweeds grow wild and
rank in that region. The land, such
as one may see from railroad train,
is fiat and t:eeless waste, 1t is with
out any cheerful aspect, low, gloomy,
overhung by miasmatic mist and a per
feet prairie of wild and matted weeds
of the kind which flourish in marshy
regions. 1t is threaded by sluggish
arms of water.
"Once every three months this lamp
is visited by a human being 1t is
filed with oil, trimmed up and put in
condition to burn for three months
longer. Thus it is visited four times
year. 1t is situated so that the winds
cannot put it out. 1t renders good
service, never explodes, never goes out,
never gets DINNER or brighter, but
burns with the same steady power all
the time. 1t has earned the name of
the Perpetual light"

YOUNG GRANTS COLT.

The Story of Purchase That
Earned the Boy Much Teasing.
When Ulysses S. Grant was a small
boy living in Georgetown, o., he want
ed, like most boys, to own a horse,
and one particular colt belonging to a
man named Ralston he wished espe-
cially to have. To indulge the boys
taste and buy the colt his father Of
fered Mr.. Ralston $40, but the owner
valued the colt at $50 and refused the
offer, taking the animal home with
him.
AS the hours passed after the little
horse had trotted away with its owner
Ulysses disappointment and eagerness
for possession increased, and he final
ly begged his father to pay the $50 de-
manded. His father said that $40 was
all the animal was worth, but since
Ulysses desired it SO much he might
go to Mr.. Ralston and offer $40 again.
If, his father added, he could not buy
it for $50, he might offer S225O and if
the owner would not let it go for $3.50
he might, in order to obtain it, give $25.
Ulysses therefore mounted horse
and set out for Mr.. Ralston's., He was
at that time probably about eight years
old.
When he found the owner, he told
him, Papa says | may offer you $50
for the colt, but if you won't take that
to offer you $22.50, and if you won't
take that to give you $25.''
The eagerness of the boy to gain the
horse could not brook any barrier. 1t
is needless to say that he paid $50 and
led the animal home.
Grant said, in writing his memoirs,
that the story Of this purchase of his
got out in the village and it was long
before he heard the last of it. The
schoolboys delighted in teasing him
about it; schoolboys are very often
little barbarians for tormenting one
another, and they did not let Ulysses
forget this one instance when he was
behind the rest in cleverness.
He kept the horse for several years
and finally sold it for 500, the poor
animal having become blind Later
he found it taken from the road and
working the tread wheel of a ferryboat
which piled between the Ohio and
Kentucky banks of the Ohio river,

Voices of the Ice.

The winter of the far north is not
wholly silent, although so little life is
manifest at that season. A paragraph
from Captain Koldewey's account of
his winters stay ON the east coast of
Greenland makes this fact very clear:
All these movements of the ice-the
gradual crowding and pressing, bend
ing and pushing, the breaking of the
masses of snow lying at the "ice foot"
do not go on noiselessly, but are gen.
orally accompanied by certain sounds,
which are called the "voices" of the
ice.
Now we hear low singing, splash
ing or grumbling, alternating with va
rious other noises, cracking and snap
ping; now it sounds irregularly from
great distance like confusion of hui
man voices, the changing din of a
train or sledging party, or you fancy
you hear the steps and voices of all
sorts of animals.
There is charm in listening to these
sounds on still night.

For a Pinch Of snun.


Louis XVIII. of France. while recit-
ing an ode of Horace to his chamber
lain one day, suddenly stopped to take
a pinch of snuff and was annoyed to
ind that he had left the box in his
bedroom.
With low bow the chamberlain
handed him his own box, and the mon
arch took a good pinch from it. after
which he recited the long ode to the
end. He then said to the chamber
lain:
lou nave poor niece, l believe
Well, l like your snuff so well that
propose, as a token of gratitude to
you, to give her the right to open a toy
store in the Tuileries. | will sign the
necessary papers this evening"
Thanks to this royal grant, the cham
berlain's niece conducted small but
profitable business until her death, in
1859. Her little store then became the
property of the state, and ever since it
has been rented for about 400 francs a
year.
Thus the French republic of today
owes a portion of its income to the
fact that Louis XVIII. appreciated
good snuff.

Crab Eating Monkeys.

People are so much in the habit of
thinking that monkeys are found only
in forests that it comes as a surprise
to learn of one that bears the name of
the crab eating macaque. 1t is found
through Burma, Siam and Malay
land, living among the trees that line
the tidal creeks. The chief food of
these animals consists of seeds, insects
and crabs. In pursuit Of crabs they
must take to the water. Use has be-
come second nature with them, as
with other animals, and they are said
to be able to swim uncommonly we'll.

washing In the Orient.

The Japanese rip their garments
apart for every washing, and they iron
their clothes by spreading them on a
fiat board and leaning this up against
the house to dry. The sun takes the
wrinkles out of the clothes, and some
of them have quite luster. The Jap
anese woman does her washing out of
doors. Her washtub is not more than
six inches high.
The hardest worked washerwomen
in the world are the Koreans. They
have to wash about a dozen dresses
for their husbands, and they have plen-
ty to do. The washing is usually done
in cold water and often in running
streams. The clothes are pounded with
paddles until they shine like a shirt
