A WISE ACTION.

The Wageworker believes that the
trades unions of Lincoln have acted
wisely in deciding not to hold parade
on Labor Day, but to make it a holiday
in fact as well as in name Instead of
spending money on a parade. what
money is expended will be for edu-
cational purposes. Good speakers will
be provided. and not only will the
message of labor be given to the peo-
pie on Labor Day, but it will be given
to them the day before, and for many
days thereafter.
If organized labor could parade its
full strength on Labor Day it would
be good thing to parade But under
our complex system men must carry
on their work every day in the year
Daily newspapers must come out, the
street cars must run. ice must be de
livered. trains must be operated
with the result that goodly share of
the organized workers are prevented
from marching with their fellows. For
this reason usually only about so Per
cent of the organized workers are per
mitted to march under their union ban
ners
Parades. too. cost a great deal OF
money that might better be spent in
pushing the work of organization.
They put heavy burdens upon already
tired workers. and they are especially
hard on the good wives who must gel
the little ones ready to come down
town to see papas proudly marching
On Labor Day Lincoln unionists who
can lay off for the day will be privi
legged to spend the day in social inter
course and healthy amusements. II
will be ''labors day" in fact as well
as in name. Now let US all join hands
to make it a day long to be remem
bered in the long calendar of laoor's
holidays.

body and read the Introductory part
of the burial service as he preceded

seen in many country churchyards. In
Wales they are more modern and are
usually built Of stone. Some Of the
old Itch gates are formed with one
wide door turning on a central pivot

pulley wheel in the roof and a stone

Europe's Dirtiest Town.

All travellers should shun Boryslaw,
in Galicia-"the back Of Europe
t%ruthfully called the dirtiest place in
Europe. 1t is the oil trade center and
is decidedly not beautiful. In the main
street all the houses have been built
on mine refuse. and most Of them
have sunk below the level Of the
street. In fact, there is not a solid
brick or stone building in the whole
Of the town, and many Of the houses
are in a state Of partial OF entire col
lapse. Unref1ned petroleum is every
where. It gets into everything-food
and clothing-and the atmosphere
reeks Of it, Along one side Of the
main street is a raised. wooden pave
ment, and beneath it is an oily ditch
Boryslaw's main waterway is a mar.
row, sluggish, oily stream. On its
banks the towns refuse is cast, and

Tho Candle Tree.

One Of the wonders Of the vegetable
kingdom is undoubtedly the candle
tree Of Panama. known to botanists
as P~armentiera cerifera. This tree
produces from it's stem and older
branches a great %profusion Of yellow
ish, cylindrical, smooth fruits, twelve
to eighteen inches long, which appear
exactly like wax candles, as the botan-
ical name implies, So close is this
resemblance that travellers, seeing the
tree for the first time, are liable to be
temporarily puzzled as to whether the
candles Of shops are made in factories
or grown on trees! The candle-like
fruits are suspended from the branches
and bare stem by short, slender stalks,
dangling in the air, and readily give
the impression Of the chambers shop.
As night falls and the numerous fire.
flies move among the fruit this impress
sion is intensified. The inexperienced
traveller is not infrequently informed
that the f1refies perform the duty of
lighting up these candles" at night
when light is required by the denizens
Of the jungle-London Strand.

Psrsian Cities

Tsheran. Persia's, capital. Is one Of
the least interesting cities of that an
cient land. Tie houses are mean. the
streets narrow aud dirty. and even the
palace of the shah. Is far from being
a thing Of beauty. 1t has no history
worth mentioning and Is only redeem
ed by the birth Of Haroun-al-Raschid
In a neighboring village. Its impor-
lance comes from the presence Of the
court, but it undergoes a sad decadence
In summer, when the unhealthful eli
mate drives the greater part of the
population to nor sanitary places.
Ispahan, the former capital Of Per-
STA. is far different. That city was
once girdled by q wall Of; twenty.four
miles. and Shah Abbas In the sixteenth
century loaded it with magnificence.
It contains splendid mosques and an
cient palaces which appeal to the i'm
a%gination. But Ispahan, too, has fallen
upon evil days.
"Houses, bazaars, mosques, palaces,
whole Streets" writes a traveller Of a
few years ago, "are to be seen in to-
tai abandonment, and q may ride for
miles without meeting with q single
living creature except perhaps q soil
tary jackal looking over q mali or a
fox running to his hole"

Not Afraid.

FN-t1Gkl
Personal courage invests its owner
with a protection beyond that afforded
by outside forces. An illustration Of
this is recorded by General William B.
Draper in his "Recollections Of a Va
ried Career" where he gives this in
cident:
In 1864 Colonel Daniels Of the Sew
enth Rhode Island became unpopular
with some Of his command, and a
m spread that he would be shot
at the next engagement. He heard of
it.. 1t was customary when guns had
been loaded for some time to have
them discharged into some convenient
bank, and Colonel Daniels took advan-
tage Of this. Marching his regiment
out with loaded rifles. he faced them
toward a suitable elevation, and, TAX
ing position on the top Of it and in
front of them as at dress parade. he
gave the commands, "Ready" "Aim!'
"Fire" and the pieces were discharg-
ed.
Needless to say, any man could have
shot him with little danger of discov-
cry, and. needless to say. also, none of
them did. There were no more threats
of that kind in his regiment.

Poison In tho Middle Aqes.

In the middle ages so little was
known Of toxicology that all sudden
and mysterious deaths were attribut-
ed to poison. but in the light Of mod
ern knowledge many of these, says the
British Medical Journal. are now cas-
lily explained by such diseases as ap-
pendicitis and gastric ulcer. Even the
Borgias can be absolved from many
of the %poisonings laid to their charge.
Nevertheless from early times in Italy
poison was a. favorite means of ire
moving" an enemy. In England,
France and Germany .cruder methods
Of vengeance prevailed. and it was not
until the sixteenth century that the
Medici introduced poisoning into
France. The fashion spread with ter.
rible rapidity, and poison was employ
ed in every rank of society to get rid
Of inconvenient persons. The art in
troduced into France by Catherine de-
Medici and her followers took root so
deeply as to blossom later into the
black magic Of Louis xlv.'s reign.

Hypnotic Power In Animals.

An interesting instance Of the hyp-
motto power possessed by a good many
animals is given by 8. correspondent Of
the Glasgow Herald. One morning
outside Elgin a blackbird was OBJ
served to be standing by the road
side, paying nc heed to the footsteps
OF the passerby. It was gazing fixed
" at four young weasels under the
hedge: which were approaching in a
semicircle, apparently. to surround it.
Just then a warning cry was heard
from behind, uttered presumably by
the parent weasel, and the young ones
disappeared in the hedge. The bird
still remained powerless and immova-
bic, and only after repeated urging did
it fly to a tree lear by, when it gave
forth a weak, frightened sound, as
though still under the influence Of the
terror which had arrested its faculties.

by Boehm-at Hyde park corner is the
second equestrian statue erected in
that locality. The former one, by
Wyatt, costing some $4,000. was re-
