Organized labor must have the support of public
sentiment, and in order that the public may be prop
erly informed on such matters there must be some
tribunal where matters of difference between capital
and labor can get am honest hearing
As 1t Is now. capital cannot be compelled to ac-
quicsce to the just demands of labor, and in most
cases the rights of labor are misrepreeented by
cowardly press i'll the interests of capital. On the
other hand unreasonable and unjust strikes will not
be tolerated and the Foster bill will tend to make
society more permanent and put stop to the en-
croachments of socialism and the seeds of anarchy

THAT away TO the East to the West North and south
on the wings of the wind, just like bees or like birds
F'y the tome of your voice and the sound of your
words?
DO YOU know. little maid, that your mouth is tbe door
All the words you will say, all you have said before
Are imprisoned within? Some are sweet pleasant
words
Which, when they get out will sing like the birds.
There others so cross that they one can please
And, when they get out, will sting like the bees,
Watch them close little maid! When cross words stir
about,
Shut the door up tight, and don't let them out

GREEN TOMATO PICKLES.

Select firm, light green tomatoes. Cut
them in thick slices, without peeling
them. Lay them in weak brine, using
4 cupful of salt to gallon Of water.
Let the tomatoes remain in the brine
for twenty-four hours to draw out
their crude juices. At the end Of this
time take them out rinse in cold water
and put in a porcelain lined boiler, To
every quart OF vinegar add two pounds
of sugar and pour enough vinegar over
the tomatoes to barely cover them, Add
an ounce Of cassia buds, an ounce Of
stick cinnamon, an ounce of whole
cloves, an ounce Of whole mace and
the same amount Of green ginger root,
scraped and sliced, to every quart OF
vinegar. Cook the ginger root in the
vinegar with the tomatoes. Add the
other spices just before removing the
pickles from the fire.

If the palms that you have consigned

take on the scar and yellow leaf look,
don't be disheartened, but try these
simple suggestions that have been
recommended by one who has had a
similar experience:
See to it that they are not set in the
glare Of the sun. A little sunlight once
a day is sufficient.
Be sure that they do not get too dry,
with the earth in the pot baked and
cracking. Water them thoroughly, but
do not let water remain in the saucer.
Wet feet are unhealthy for palms as
well as for mortals.

Give a little liquid fertilizer every
two weeks, but do not have it too

spider are the enemies of the graceful
palm. Spray and brush with soap
suds occasionally, Do not let your
vigilance relax, for the scale is minute,

The Japs Good Spies.

The persistency with which the Rus
slams are at present watching the Jap
anese is only equalled by the perss
tency with which the Japanese are
watching the Russians.
With regard to unobstrusive but sue
cessful spying, the japanese enjoy a
tremendous advantage over the Rus
slams for this reason, among others,
that Japanese officials as a rule look
very Insignificant and seem to be in
their right place when they have
donned the habiliments Of barber or
q coolie, while a Russian spy who is
worth his salt can easily be detected.
Some of the best work done by Jap
anese spies has been done by pretend
ed converts to the Greek Church.
These converts are always to be
found porting over their Japanese Bi
bles. the margins Of which were Gov

UNHAPPY MACEDONIA.
Some Interesting Facts About the TURF,

Some Interesting Fncts About the Turk

No country is more in the public eye

census reports in Turkey, and If there
we're they would not be reliable. A
mans nationality" in Macedonia has
little to do with his birth or his pa
rents, but everything with his church.
If one says that he lis a Bulgarian, but
that his brother is a Greek, he means
that they are of different nations-as
he regards 1t; and it is ones religion
rather than the profession of ones re.
ligion-that is the distinguishing
stamp, as elsewhere in the East. If
you ask a man his nationality, he in
variably tells you his religion. A
Greek, a Bulgarian, an Armenian, is
only Greek, Bulgarian, Armenian, so
long as he processes the religion of
his nation. By no amount Of strate'
gy will a Greek, or an Armenian, who
has become q Catholic, ever be be.

one.third are Turks, little less than
half are Bulgarian, and the rest are
