J, But when we consider that to buy
/ chips in that game, man must
have the combined capital Of sew
; eral banks to staff with, it stands
/ to reason that the returns should
be in proportion. About the hard
est pill for an intelligent man to
swallow is the thought that he has
been used just like lemon, sucked
and thrown in the gutter. When
we consider his ability in most
things, and remember how he was
relieved of his roll in the Street as
easily and swiftly as though he
were some unsophisticated farmer
in the Bowery for the first time,
it does seem hard. But instead of
censuring him, we can only give
him true sympathy when we re-
member that not one in 10000 can
go up against that game and win.
If there was more than the above
number, the wealth of this country
would be far more evenly distrib-
uted than it is. Of course if man
is related to some prince of the
Street and has few plunks where
with to buy a bouquet for old
Dame Fortune, the chances are
that, through the efforts Of his
princely relative, if he has not al
ready brown stone front on Fifth
Avenue, he will have in the near
future. But for an outsider to 90
up against old and we'll tried gen.
erals, men who are as adept in the
sleight of hand manipulations of
trade as Hindoo is in magic, and
for him to expect to win proves
that he lacks every good quality
but nerve, and his nerve is certain
ly wonderful.

Another trait of human nature,
and one that has been observed by
all, is the amount of solid fun
man can get out of a horse-trade

progressive and intellectual. No
one can claim that the non-union
man is not a thinker and is irrespon-
sible for his acts, any more then
he can claim that because a man
belongs to the union he is neces-
sarily villain. The non-union
mans ideas relative to the relation
of employer and employee may be-
as lofty as the ideas Of any men,
Der of a labor organization, at the
same time he cannot see whereby
he is to profit by affiliating him
self with the union, and therefore
does not do 80. It might be we'll
at this point to consider some of
the reasons why he does not sub
ject himself to the rules and by
laws of the union. Some say that
the actions of the union men dur
ing a strike are not things to idol
ize and hold up before the public
as elevating and progressive. Yes,
but someone will say, are you 60
ing to condemn the body Of or
ganized labor because of the act
ions of individuals here and there?
Not by any means, but this is not
all, for if a society approves of
such actions we are justified in
considering the society respon-
sible for them. Some one will say:
But the societies do not approve
Of such actions. In reply to this
there can only be the answer, that
when labor organization will
draw from it's general fund the
hard earned money of the laborer
and pay the fines and bail out from
behind prison bars the man who
has broken the laws of our coun-
try it thereby sanctions his acts.
Is it to be wondered at that there
are men who will not join and bind
themselves to obey the bylaws of
such society, or seek protection |
under it's banner?
We hear the union men claim
ing that the so-called scab is tax
ing the bread and butter from the
mouths of their wives and children.
Have the members Of any labor
organization any right, either in
dividually or collectively, to make
such an assertion, when they will
do everything in their power to
prevent the non-union man from
securing honest employment?
They will waylay him, and if un-
able to convince him with argu-
ments, will endeavor to force him
to do according to their liking.
Under such circumstances who has
the right to claim that the other
is robbing their families of the
necessaries of life? Because the
members of organized labor out
those of the non-union
class, it does not follow that they
have the right to use force in en-
deavoring to accomplish the de-
sired result You can never force
4 man to act against his honest
convictions, but can often win him
to your side by example, honesty
and the practice of the Golden
Rule. There are many not opposed
to the principles of organized labor,
out are opposed to the methods
Used in some instances to obtain
he desired results, and to the
treatment accorded those who do
1ot agree with the unions. Many
10 not believe it is to the best in
,erests of organized labor for the
Individual to feel that he is backed
up by strong society with large
general fund which will be used in
,ase he breaks the laws of the coun- +,
;ry. If this impression is made

TALK OF THE RATHER.
Philadelphia ZOOkeeper Says the
Snake Sounds q Call with
Its Rattles.

what is = rattlesnake's rattle
orr" said John Lover, the zoo keeper.
In response to a question by a Phila-
delphia Record man.
1T Is a CALL" he resumed. answering
his own question. THE rattlesnake
with 1t calls his mate. A man was
telling me the other day that he stud
led the rattle question last year in the
vest. He said II is mainly as a call
that the rattle is used, though different
sounds can be made with 1t, and these
sounds appear to have different mean
ings.
Once this man saw seven hogs at
tack rattlesnake. The reptile began
to fight pluckily. and while he fought
he ratified loud and long. Three other
snakes came with great speed and
courage to his aid. A dreadful battle
followed. The snakes, though they
fought well. we're all killed.
The rattle is also said to charm or
hypnotic birds so that the snake can
seize them easily, but in this story my
friend doesn't take much stock. It's
as call. he says. that the rattle is
used most-a love call, generally. with
which the male snake summons his
mate"

SUFFER FROM PARASITES.
Some of the Affections Of the Flesh
to Which Animals Become
Subject.

All animals, both great and small,
suffer as severely as mammals in the
matter Of parasites, according to Les
lies Monthly. The parasite of the os-
trich is a formidable looking example.
The most interesting of the pigeons
parasites Is the one known as the slen-
der pigeon louise, which is supposed to
do good service to the bird by thinning
its body plumage as the weather grows
hot. Fish also have parasites. The
legs Of one variety which inhabits the
carp and pike are attached to the pos
terror part Of its anatomy, and consti-
tutes paddles by means Of which the or
ganism can change its host and depart
to pay its attentions to another fish.
Two dark spots In the forepart Of
the creature represent the first pair OF
legs, which have been converted into
suckers, by means Of which the organ
ism retains hold of its host. There Is
good reason to believe that this pike
louise" is not parasitic torment, but
rather a desired attendant. In all prob
ability 1t derives its nourishment from
the mucous products secreted by the
skin Of the fish. And when II has sat
isfactorily arranged the toilet of one
fish It abandons It for another which
needs its help.

SCIENCE AND OLD AGE.
Only One Man in a Million mt Pres-
ent Dies In n Natural
Manner.

From 20 to 80 a man should live for
himself and his family; from so to 100
for science and humanity, and after a
hundred for the state. Honored, USE
full, in full possession of all his facul-
ties at six score years and ten, the
graybeard of the approaching future
will be among the most enviable Of
mankind. For the fear Of death Is an
alteration, says Prof. Ellie Metchnikoff.
in Putnam's Magazine.
The fact is that only one man in a
million at present dies a natural
death. We should live till 140 years of
age. A man who expires at 20 or 80 Is
the victim of accident. cut off in the
flower OF his days, and he unconscious
ly resents being deprived of the so
years or SO which nature owes him.
Leave him little longer and in due
time he will desire to die, as child at
dusk desires to sleep. The sandman
will pass! All our instincts drop from
us one by one. The child cries for
mothers milk; the idea of such an ali
ment is repugnant to the adult. The
desire for sweets. for play, for love and
love-making, for long walks and adj
ventures are all impulses that have
their day and pass. And the wish to
live is an instinct which fails also with
safety. Only at present none of us
live long enough to be satiated with
days.

sPooLS MADE FROM PULP.
Material Now Used In the Manufac.
ture of the Reels of Larger
SiEe,

The process of making spools from
pulp has been in course of develop.
ment for the past two years. and many
obstacles have had to be overcome be-
fore the spool was perfected. It was
comparatively easy to mold the spool
into the proper form. but after It had
become dry and hard the difiiculty was
to grind or turn II into the proper
size to hold the required amount of
thread. This trouble has now been
overcome. reports the Hartford Cou-
rant. Pulp will be used only for the
large size Of spools. as 1t is not prac-
teal to make the smaller spools of
that material.
Many Of the large spools are nearly
four inches in diameter and up to the
present time they have been made of
wood. When they were first made they
were turned from single piece of
wood, but 1t was discovered that in
many cases the pressure of the thread
as 1t was wound on the spool would
push the head of the barrel, although
It was the same piece of wood. In or
der to remedy this difficulty, II became
necessary to make the large spools
from three pieces, the barrel and the
two heads, and when the heads were
closely fitted to the barrel and glued,
they were found to remain better than
when they were one piece of wood.

THE POPE'S GODcHILDREN.
Many Added to the Long List on His
Ninety-Third Anniversary
March 3 Last.

Leo XIII. is, as everyone knows.
the godfather of young King AL
fonso of Spain. But the latter is
by no means the only godchild of
the holy father. who announced his
intention Of acting as sponsor to
every child born in Rome on March
3 last. which was the twenty-ffth
anniversary of his succession to the
Papacy. says London paper. The av-
erage number of births per day in
Rome does not exceed IS. But for some
extraordinary reason there were no
less than 90 births recorded on March
3, 90 being curiously enough the num-
Der of years which have elapsed since
Leo NILS own birth. A most search
Ing inquiry was instituted in order to
ascertain whether there had really
been as many as 90 births in Rome on
the day in question. But the investiga-
ton established the fact beyond a
doubt that the figures were correct and
authentic, and consequently the pope
has 90 new godchildren. among them
set Of triplets. two boys and a girl,
who have received the names of
Romulus. Remus and Roma, and each
OF these 80 children have received from
him a complete outfit and a sum of 100

LONGEVITY OF QUAKERS.
Estimated Duration OF the Average
Friends Life Given ms Fifty
Eight Years.

The longevity of Quakers was dis
cnssed by a group of Philadelphians
the other day, says the Philadelphia
Record. A physician of Quaker de-
scent said: at is undoubtedly true
that Friends are among the longest
lived persons in the world. Statis-
tics, laboriously and accurately col
lected, prove this clearly. The sta
tistics were compiled here in Phil
adelphia in 1860. They showed the
duration of the average Friends
life to be So years. There were liv-
ing at that time in this city 40
Friends who were over ss years old,
and there were so other Friends
whose years aggregated 5,25s. These
persons, that is to say, were, on the
average, IS years old. Marked lorg-
evity among our people proves how
wholesome and beneficial our rules
of living are. The abstemiousness.
the early hours, the avoidance Of
worldly excitement-these were the
things that multiplied so remark
ably our forefathers' years"

close to the leg below the knees and
about the ankles to permit unimpeded
