But Tennessee did not lay too much
stress on scriptural names. On the
other hand, looking at the map one
may readily ascertain that in the nam
Ing of her towns Tennessee played nc
favorites. From mythology she OBJ

The unfortunate strike in Chicago
has about come to an end, and will soon
become painful history of the greed
Of men, Several lives have been sac
rifced, much misery occasioned, mil
lions of dollars lost to employers and
employees and no one has been bene-
fitted to any degree. The affair has
been a disgrace to our civilization and
professsed christianity, and demon
stl ated that instead of expanding large
sums of money in missionary efforts in
foreign fields, the money could be spent
to far better advantage, for most of
the so called heathens have higher
ideals of right and justice than are
displayed at home with all of our edu-
cation and culture. Laws, that permit
few men to make serfs of the masses
by robbing them in the distribution Of
the wealth they earn, is wrong and
must be changed, or there will be
trouble at no distant day and the pub
lie will suffer. There should not be any
antagonism' between capital and labor
and would not be, if each were willing
to meet half way in the settlement of
differences. 1t looks to the writer, to
be a question that must be settled by
the government on fair, just basis
so that neither labor or capital shall
suffer and the sooner it is done, the
better it will be for both and the public
generally. Ifthe command, to do unto
Others as We would that they do unto
you was followed, the disgraceful scenes
Of the recent past would be eliminated
from our civilization, and instead Of
hate there would be love, and every
man would love his neighbor as him
self.

BUYING RUBIES IN BURMA.
Grips and Signs Used in Bargaining
for Precious Stones.

Grips and Signs Used in Bargaining
for Precious Stones.
The peculiar business methods Of
oriental merchants are illustrated by
the manner Of buying rubies in Bur
ma, says the Jewelers. Circular
Weekly. In the examination of rubies
artificial light is not used, the mer-
chants holding that full sunlight alone
can bring out the color and brilliancy
of the gems. Sales must, therefore,
take place between a. M, and p. m,
and the sky must be clear.
The purchaser, placed near win
dow, has before him a large copper
by one and each empties upon this
plate his little bag of rubies. The pur-
chaser pr oceeds to arrange them for
valuation in number of small heaps.
The first division is into three grades.
according to size; each Of these groups
is again divided into three piles &C
cording to color, and each Of these
piles is again divided into three
piles according to color, and each of
these piles is again divided into three
groups, according to shape. The
bright copper plate has curious
USE The sunlight reflected from it
through the stone brings out with
true rubies a color effect different
from that with red spinels and tour.
malines, which are thus easily sepa-
rated.
The buyer and seller then go
through a very peculiar method of
bargaining by signs or rather grins, in
perfect silence. After agreeing upon
the fairness of the classification, they
join their right hands, covered with
handkerchief or the flap Of a gar
ment, and by grips and pressures
mutually understood among all these
| dealers they make, nodify and accept
proposals Of purchase and sale. The
hands are then uncovered and the
prices are recorded.

Deep set in everlasting marble, show,
