Labor fights ITS fellows and drives its very

i. e., the question OF producton faces the

| The remedy is as fatal as the disease. The
methods are wrong, and the aims sought, or
claimed to be sought, to be attained must inev
itably meet with defeat.
No one class in this country can rule all the
other classes for any great length of time If
so, Washington and the men OF go fought in
vain. Our government was created for all.
When one man one class obtains benefits of
civilization unfairly, it is at the expense of
other men or other classes. The man or class
who Is not willing to share the good things of
society with other men and other classes is not
a patriot. He is not inspired by the same
spirit as Washington and Lincoln He has
not the spirit of the great Teacher OF mankind.
American people must not be ruled through
coercion Coercion eventually calls for stand
ing armies and slaughter. Armies and blood
are death to republics. Just across the line
from California, laboring men have a taste OF
what The military can dc, and if we employ CO.
ercion in one FORM we sanction and invite
coercion in another form
Suppose union-laborism succeeds along the
lines LAID down in San Francisco, all over
America, with the result that there would be
complete cessation of new construction work."
where would union labor be-or any other kind
OF labor? Where would be our world wide COM
merce? Where would be that ever-increasng
multitude of poor people who are poor because
they caiinot obtain work--not at any price?
Union-l laborism of the San Francisco stripe,
coupled with the trusts of the Rockefeller
stripe, would eventually plunge this country
into the very depths of want and misery. The
one would not, and cannot counteract the evil
of the other. The effect always is to lessen
the number Of people who may engage in bus-
ness or labor in any given occupation. Oppor-
tunlty TO procure All honest living, far too
limited now, would still further be limited
the reverse OF what society needs and what
good people want. All corners are detrimental

There are several theories as 10 the

Peculiar Methods Of Warfare Employed
By Diminutises.


The ingenious means for protection
found developed in various animals
constitutes a subject OF never ending
study. Ernest Ingersoll cites several
interesting cases in the Scientific
American. He speaks Of small bee
tie found IN Louisiana called by the
French the bombardier. When an en-
emy attacks this insect suddenly a
popping explosion is heard, and a blue
smoke, attended by a rancid smell, is
seen TO proceed from the hinder ex-
tremity Of the body, which immediate
~ stops the progress Of his assailant.'
The bombardier can fire his artillery
twenty times.
The scorpion fly is provided with q
set of Quaker guns" in the form Of a
pair Of wicked looking but really harm
less forceps; but its real instrument Of
defense is a sort Of rife. This Is a
slender tube which it thrusts Out and
from it elects a drop Of yellow, evil
smelling fluid that will send almost
any enemy to the right about.
The vile odor of the cockroach and
other household pests is the natural
means Of defense provided for them
by nature. But though this keeps them
from being eaten by their logical en-
emies, it does not avail in all cases
for it makes mankind ali the more
anxious to destroy them.
An important reason why certain
noxious worms foliage eating larvae
of moths are so difficult 10 subdue is
that most Of them are covered with
bristly hairs, and are not liked by most
birds, apparently on that account
Plant lice, many Of them, exude
fuzzy substance which makes them I'M
pleasant eating for birds. Snails and
slugs protect themselves by throwing
off a mucous slime which tends TO dis
gust its natural enemies. and the gal
ley worm of the tropics is able TO ex-
ude from its mouth a sticky fluid which
no animal will care to take into its
mouth a second time.

The propriety Of receiving for edu-
cational or religious use money faint
ed by contact with questionable hands
has been passed upon by the Yale au-
thorities in a judgment more novel
than that involved in acting upon the
acceptance Of a Rockefeller donation
or a Carnegie library. Yale felt itself
justified in accepting a sum amount
ing in American money to about so,
900, which British missionary socie-
ties had declined. The money was an
indemnity paid by the Chinese Boxers
FOR the murder OF two English mis-
sionarics. The societies 10 which the
martyrs belonged refused to accept
the gift from the Chinese Govern
ernment spurning It as blood money. %
and the Chinese Government proudly
declined TO take it back. handing i

THE LAUGHING PHILOSOPHER.

TO find q home beyond the sea
Upon a foreign strand,
And never dare to set a foot
Upon his native land.
But when they chased him from the realm
Those people little knew
What even one goOd-natured
And smiling lace can do
Now children seeking after Joe
Would round the ruins STRAY,
And grieve because the people drove
Their laughing friend away.
And long before a year went by
These bad-behaving men
Sent messengers across the sea
TO coax him back again.
And out they ran with princeiy gifts
TO meet him at the shore,
And begged him there 10 live and laugh
In peace f0revermOre.
