Morning Glories.

A pretty new braid, called morning
glory. has appeared. 1t looks like
heavy silk and trims in such a way
as to look like handwork. These
rows Of posies are formed by catch
ing the two rows Of braid up into
metal-like loops, which are then
pressed fiat. The braid may be had
on silk or velvet foundation which
taiso serves to throw this very charm
ing floral design into fine relief There
are other braids that suggest other
flowers. A lily pattern is rather dis
ltinct. while the rosette pattern that
Invariably serves as ''the queen of the
garden" is recognizable at first glance
So is the daisy. Numerous small
flowers, such as the adorable little
forget-me-not, work up beautifully in
these elaborate braid trimmings.

move the rust and then the fire irons
may be polished as usual.
Vegetables and fruits are often use
full in other ways than that of food.
In simple home remedies they each
play part and many cures have been
effected in serious diseases by their
use. For instance:
Lemon Juice Is very effective ap-
plication for removing tartar deposit
from the teeth.
Apples are good for those disposed
to govt and sluggish liver, and for
those who follow a sedentary life.
Yolks of eggs may be boiled separ-
ately by dropping carefully into boil
ing water and cooking until hard. TIE
whites may thus be saved for icinss,
meringues and other uses.
The pineapple is fruit most valu-
able In throat affections. Indeed, 1t
has saved many life of diphtheretic
patients. The juice squeezed from
ripe pineapple is the finest thing in
the world for cutting the fungus-llke
membrane which coats the throat in
diphtheria, and If used in time never
fails to cure.

Sea-Born.


Afar in the turbulent city,
In hive where men make gold,
He stood at his loom from dawn to dark,
While the passing years were told.
And when he knew It was summertime
By the gray dust on the street,
BY the lingering hours of daylight,
And the sultry noon-tide heat
oh! he longed as a captive sea bird
To leave his cage and be free.
For his heart like a shell kept singing
The old. old song of the sea.
And amid the noise and confusion
OF wheels that were never still,
He heard the wind through the scented
pines
On rough, storm beaten hill;
While, beyond maze of painted threads
Where his tireless shuttle flew.
In fancy he saw the sunlit waves
Beckon him out to the blue.

The Union Shop.

At the annual meeting Of the Ameri.
can economic association in Philadel-
phia, Henry White, secretary of the
United Garment Workers of America,
delivered an address on "The Union
Shop" He said in part:
Before the trade unions gained
their present standing it was consid-
cred a liberal concession for an en-
ployer to open his doors to union men.
To-day the employer who assays to
bar out workmen because Of their
membership is the exception and
public opinion would be decidedly
against him. In most states 1t has
even been made a misdemeanor for
employers to so discriminate.
"As the members became more
numerous, the issue was soon raised
between the open and the union shop.
To an outsider demand upon the
employer that the nonmembers be
made to join or be discharged looks
arbitrary, like an Interference with
the liberty of the non-unionist, and a
coercing of the employer into driving
employees into union contrary to his
own interest. 1t can, however, be
justified.
1T is important to note that the
men driven into q union do not re-
quire much urging; in most cases the
mere manifestation of strength on the
part of the unionists is sufficient to
induce the others to join, and once
having joined they became jealous
members.
unions are capable Of self
restraint, they are disposed to be rea-
sonable, their success depends upon
the justice of their position and their
tendency as they gain in strength and
experience is to become more concilia-
tory and conservative in policy"

Unions MULTIPLYING Fast.


Some interesting figures Of numbers
of various crafts, growth of organiza-
ton, benefits obtained by labor unions
in the way of shorter hours and ad-
vances in wages, large increases In
industries and other facts of great
Importance to the industrial and sta
tistical world are given in recent re-
ports of state labor bureaus.
The report Of ]. T. Smith, state
labor commissioner of Colorado,
shows 424 labor unions in that state,
with combined membership OF 49,
946. "The figures are remarkable"
he says. "They show q growth that
surpasses all expectation. 1t is the
most rapid growth of labor shown in
any state of this Union since the gov
eminent was founded"
Two years ago there we're but 283
unions in the state, with 26,083 mem
bers. This is an increase in union
labor in Colorado Of about 10000.
Some interesting figures of numbers
in various crafts are also presented,
Among the larger unions are the fol-
lowing: Gold and silver miners, AZ
unions, with 1886 members; federal
labor unions, 16, with 2,125 members;
coal mineiI' unions. TO- with 2,470
members; retail clerks unions. Is,

Frapped Cranberries.

While cranberry sauce and cram
berry jelly are delicious, when the lit
tie, round red berries are trapped,
nothing could be nicer. 1t is not a
difficult task to prepare them in this
fashion, and the way to do it is to boil
three pints of cranberries ten minutes
in an equal quantity of water.
When the berries have been
strained, the juice of three lemons, the
juice of the same number Of oranges

Conditions In Chicago.

Organizer John ]. Fitzpatrick OF the
Chicago Federation of Labor grows
serious whenever he is approached on
the future prospects for peace In the
city.
Everything looks peaceful now on

there is a troubled current which
threatens the serenity of the situation.

tons may he maintained by central
bodies treating with each other. But
the moment there is friction the trou-
BILE will come, and it will be Of a char
acter the like of which the city never
saw.
For instance, suppose the machin-
lists in big plant should strike. There
will be sufficient supply of stock left
to keep the plant running for a time.
Let it run. 1t cannot keep up long.
When the stock has been exhausted
the employer will seek to transfer men
from other departments-the iron
molders for example-to do the work
of the machinists. The iron molders
have contracts to do work Of pecu-
liar character; they are not machin-
lists, so the moment the employer or
ders them to do the work OF the ma
chinists or employs non-union men he
violates his agreement with them.
They do not strike. They simply de-
cline to do the work of the machinlst
or handle the work of non-union
man.

Immediately sets up howl that II
was a sympathetic strike. Other
crafts having similar agreements de-
cline to take the places of the ma
chinists and molders, and eventually
the employer is compelled to close his
plant. None of the men has violated
a contract, and the same end has been
accomplished as if all had struck.
when the time shall arrive for the
alignment of the forces it will be
found that all the employees are on one
side. Then a great struggle will be-
