MILLINERY

Lovers Of bird life working these
days fighting what seemed. when they
began II, a hopeless battle-that
against the usage by fashionable wo-
men Of birds and wings and plumes In
their hats Not only was the slaughter
Of song birds made a great cause of the
quarrel, but of birds of bright plumage
as well; in fact. those of every sort
which were neediessiy sacrificed for
their piumage.
For a long while the bird lovers
made little Roadway. but finally one
woman after another was aroused 10
knowledge OF her owa unconscious
cruelty. until today there are hundreds
OF adherents to the cause
Then manufacturers got neatly
around the question by making wonder
ful things out of the feathers of chick
ems and of birds OF prey-Just those
of the bird kingdom which are killed
anyway for one purpose OF another,
but not for the sole object OF person
al decoration.
What has been done with these hum
drum feathers Is almost past belief.
Dull, unattractive quill feathers are
bleEched and dipped into various dyes
and treated until they come out In
soft. irridescent colors-perhaps blend
ed and built on a foundation which is
for all the world like a real wing or
q bird. And you've got to be mighty
clever to know the difference between
the real and the imitation

rhe nIncL Of ,,e Ey..

The invariable blackness Of the pupil
Of the eye was puzzle to scientific
men until Professor Helmholtz showed
1t to be the necessary effect of refrac-
ton. Sufficient rays nre reflected from
the bottom of the eye to render visible
the parts there situated. but since these
reflected rays in emerging from thu
eye must traverse the same ocula
media through which they passed in
entering the eye It Is evident that they
must undergo the same refraction
which they underwent as entering rays,
only In an opposite direction. The re
suit of this Is that the paths OF the
emerging and entering rays coincide.
md the former will therefore return to
the source whence as incidental rays
they originally started. There is moth
ing In the pupil to reflect light-in fact,
1t resembles window looking into n
dark room.

In those days 1T was inst d. hsdder

In those days It was inst ne hidden
germ of a new institution began to
grow. There was the birth OF the
trade union. Out of the ghastliness of
an anarchy that was destroying the
workman. soul. mind and body, the
labor union brought order, intelligence,
prosperity. Christian brotherhood II
has lifted the workman for the first
time in history to place as one Of the
leading constructive and reformatlye
factors in the upbuilding of civiliza-
ton. Bitterly prosecuted by its foes
and marking each new victory by the
blood of its martyrs. it has pressed
steadily onward.
Conscious of its divinely appointed
mission, it has borne tidings of Joy
and hope to the lowliest workmen Of
earth's farthest bounds. The down
trodden Neapolitan and the poor serf
of Russia shout for joy. Marvellous
and triumphant poweri By 1t the
chains of slavery to ceaseless. sleepless
toll have been stricken away. By it
the eyes of little children have been
opened to the light of the schoolrooln.
By 1t the bruised and broken spirit Of
labor is revived in glad freedom. by
1t is seen the hope of the progress of
all peoples upward to that day when
every law shall be the Golden Rule.
The trade union has few apologists
and needs none. Its enemies are the
common enemies Of progress and JUS
tice and humanity. We love 1t for the
sentiments recorded in the speech and
action of Its foes. We love the labor
movement for Its attitude of protest
when its assallants cry, "The function
of the state is not to act as an ex-
emplar In ethics or philanthropy"
when they cry, away with law and
order!'' when they skuIk in the guise
of officers to violate the constitution
Of their state and every vestige of the
rights of American citizens, when they
soil with foul fingers the ballot of a
free people.
We esteem 1t for the works that 1t
has done, for the achievements it shall
yet encompass. We love 1t as the pro-
moter OF peace. as the guardian Of the
public health, as the maintainer of the
sanctity OF human life. as the elimi-
nator of civic corruption, as the pro-
tector of the home as the upbuilder Of
the human race.-Daniei s. McCorkle

Power of Unionisnn.

Hns Made the WurlxinEman a Lead
Ing Fnctor In the upbnilding of
Civiliznffon-Its Enemies Are the
Foes of Justice aand Humanity.
The labor union is peculiar to the
present age. There has been evolved
in our time an Institution to supply the
Industrial needs peculiar to our civili-
cation. Turn back the pages of his
tory. If you will, TO the natal hour Of
the labor union. But little more than
a lifetime ago we were entering upon
new and untried adjustment of society.
We were revolutionizing the relations
of labor. The worklngman's environ
ment, his equipment, his very service
to society-all these were being altered
Instead of the household loom came
textile mills, instead of the shop of
the village blacksmith there loomed
the huge iron foundry, instead of the
forest mans ak there appeared great
pits leading down to beds of coal, and
instead of the rude wagon and country
road great arteries of steel bore to the
utmost ends of earth the output from
centers of production. Marvellous re
suits followed. The productive eff
cheney of thousand men in the facto-
ry exceeded that of 10000 outside. Ev-
erywhere the Individual laborer was
forced to seek employment under the
composite system. To compete by in
divldual production was impossible.
But woe to the laborer! In former
times. when the output of his labor
had been less, 1t had secured for him
livelihood, and he had been the owner
Of his tools. Distributed through the
community, he and his fellows had
piled their trades with a glimpse of
sunshine and perchance the luxury of
a garden. Moreover, the workman
had been able to look forward to the
time when, by care and industry, there
would be laid by a competency for the
declining strength of older years. Now
all was changed. He could not own the
ponderous machines of the new sys-
tenn. He was not able to be pos
SCISSOR of the vast bulk of their prod
ucts. Huddled with thousands Of his
fellows in wretched tenements, he
begged for the leave of labor. The
stern menace of dire necessity blanched
him with an awful horror. The wall
of starving babes drove father to bid
against father for pittance all too
scant. The mother left her home to
find employment and ward of the iD-
pending death from hunger. Frail bod
les of stunted children were pressed
into service to augment the dwindling
wage. If humane souls asked, "Why
the awful competition" they were re-
buffed by the vile and brutal theory
of overproduction of labor. Still the
horrors grew and thickened. In the
dust of the great roaring factory the
pitiful cry and little, pale faces of
children marked the blighting Of life
before its bloom. Day by day the
helpless laborers passed from their
sleepless toll to an early but kindlier
fats-

This garland was laid on or carried be-

special to the Indianapolis News
from Marion, Ind, says that after a
hard fight of seventeen years against
competitors who advertised, Gunder
Bros. dry goods merchants, the Oldest
mercantile firm In Marion and at one
time the largest retail house in north
ern Indiana, have given up the hope
less struggle and sold out their bust
ness.
When gas was discovered In Marion
the town began to grow rapidly. and
competition In all business was soon
encountered by all the old local mer-
chants. The new merchants adver-
tised, but many of the old established
firms were slow in believing that 1t
was necessary for them to use print
ers' ink. as they knew nearly every
man in the county. All of them who
are now in business concluded that It
was necessary to advertise in order to
hold what trade they had and to in
crease 1t. except Gunder Bros. who
absolutely refused. claiming II was

A st,liz1ard'' OF Raiiroxd Accidents.

Thure was 4 kind OF blizzard OF rail-
road accidents last month. The aver
age daily allowance OF victims con-
ceGed 10 the railroads OF the United
States may be computed from the sta
tistical Report Of the Interstate Com
mcrce Commission for 1902. For
every day in that year the American
railroads killed one passenger, eight
employees, and fourteen other persons,
aud injured eighteen passengers, 40
employees. and twenty other persons.
That makes 4 daily average of about
tventy-three honicides and one hun
dred and seventy-seven injuries. OF
course such an average as this would
not be maintained except by very un-
obtrusive methods. II we had one
railroad accident day In which
twenty-three persons were killed and
III injured. IL would not 60 on a
