A SkRT0RlAL TRAGEDY.

The Lady Accepted Flower and Lost
Her Beautiful Figure.
In London Truth Of March 8, 1877,
Henry Labouchere told this story OF a
toilet calamity due to the feminine
fashion of those days:
At a dinner party given lately in
Paris one lady was remarked above all
others for the elegance of her figure
and the perfection of her toilet Dur
ing the mauvais quart d'heure before
dinner she was surrounded by host
of admirers, and one less bashful than
the rest ventured to offer her the
flower from his buttonhole. 1t was
accepted, but as the princess robe"
worn by the graceful creature was
laced behind it was necessary TO fas-
ten the flower to the front of her
dress with a pin. The operation was
successfully performed. and the fair
lady was led in to dinner by the donor
Of the flower. They were hardly seat
ed when he heard curious sound like
the gentle signing Of the wind, and on
turning toward his partner he saw
with horror that the lovely figure was
getting "smaIl by degrees and beauti-
fully less" The rounded form had dis
appeared before the soup was over.
and long before the first entree the
once creaseless garment hung In great
folds about scraggy framework 1t
seems that the newest dresses for
slight" ladies are made with air tight
Innings and inflated until the required
degree of embonpoint is attained. The
unfortunate lady mentioned above had
forgotten this detail when she fastened
the fatal flower to her bosom with
pin; hence the collapse.

The handiest thing have handled

which the doubletree is fastened by
its clevis. The cleats G are pieces Of
wood about one foot long and two and
one-half or three inches square, bolted
on the side so that the harrow can be
turned on its back and ride. The
cleats and the ends should be iron, 50

from splitting.

BREEDING OF CORN.
Method of Artificial PoIIinaton Recon-
mended BY Federal Experts.


mended by Federal Experts.
In the breeding Of corn, If accurate
records regarding parentage are to be
kept, all pollinations must be done by
hand. In the methods of study now
popular many ordinations are self pol
linations-that is, it is necessary to
place the pollen of plant on the silks
Of the same plant and protect the silks
from all other pollen. BY the meth
DDS usually employed 1t is impossible
to be certain that all foreign pollen is
excluded.
The usual method Of making self
poilinations is to inclose the tassels
and young ears In strong paper bags.
When pollen has accumulated in the
bag surrounding the tassel and the
silks have emerged from the young
ear the bag containing the pollen is
removed. The ear is then uncovered,
the pollen busted over the silks and
the bag replaced on the ear During
the operation the silks are necessarily
exposed for short time to any pollen
that may be floating In the air. A
number Of refnements have been de-
.vised by different operators to reduce
the chances Of the silks receiving for
elgn pollen. The most effective is that
proposed by Roberts. In his expert
mental field the tassels are all bagged
before they begin shedding pollen.
There Is thus no pollen free In the air
of the field. except the small quantity
that escapes while making the hand
pollinations. The quantity of free pol
len Is further reduced by an ingenious
method Of applying the pollen by
means of an insect powder gun or

LABOR NOTES or
VIDE INTEREST

The possession of union card is sup
posed to Indicate that the holder is a union
man. This is true in theory only, for
a man who purchases non-union goods
when union goods can be obtained--and
| 1t is frequently done--is not a union
man. The genuine trade unionist de-
mands the label and if all members did
! likewise he would never fail to get it.
! However, there is no doubt that the
great majority of union men do not fully
realize the value of the label as an in
strument for the advancement Of the
entire movement. They have not looked
! into the subject deep enough to apprec-
eiate the widespread influence that every
purchase of union goods has on the la
! Dor movement. 1t is far-reaching in its
effects and if the membership could be
brought to a realization of the enormous
power for good in demanding the label,
the progress would be much more rapid
than at present.
That union members spend five times
as much to keep non-union concerns in
the field as they spend for the support
Of union establishments there can be
no doubt. Every dollar spent with a
concern without the label is a dollar
put into the hands of the enemy, with
which to destroy unions. Every dollar
devoted to the purchase of union label
goods is dollar directed towards pre-
serving them.
1t is said that union men spend in this
country 81 100000 annually for the
necessaries of life. The 2.500.o00 union
men in this country would, if they de-
manded it, soon find a union label on all
their purchases. Were this the case. it
would not be long until there were 30
100000 union workers in this nation, in
stead OF 100000, as now. As result
OF the working conditions that would
necessarily follow such 4 transition,
there would be happier homes, more air
and sunshine in our factories, more men
at work at living wages. more children
in attendance in our schools, fewer per-
sons in our poorhouses after age had
crept upon them, fewer sorrows and
more joys, fewer tears and more smiles,
and higher happier standard of life
for all workers. The possibilities are
50 great and the manner of accomplish
ment so simple that no excuse can be
justified
Always demand the label-it is more
than worth while-be one OF the instru-
ments OF progress in the movement,
rather than drag that holds it back.
1t may, to some. be little bit embar-
RAISING at times, but it is worth it a
thousand times over, not only TO the
unions whose label you demand, but To
you. You will reap your reward in
genuine material benefits in the end

THE LORRAINE THEATRE, FIVE
POINTS.

Say folks, how about the support
that you said you would give to any
one of our race if you thought that
they needed your help in any kind of
business? Say, how about the little
theatre out on the avenue near Five
Points that is being run and conduct
ed by one of our people, and woman
at that? Are you giving your support
to the Lorraine theatre, colored
amusement place, the same as a
white man gives to his brother or sis
ter? No l am thinking that the
people of Denver as whole are the
most selfish in helping one another
than any other place | have heard of.
And, dear people, if you will only stop
and think, you will soon come to real
ize that business cannot live unless
it has the support of the people, mat
ters not what it is, and If our people
don't patronize one another in -busi-
ness, our business must soon go to
the wall, all for the lack of support.
And, people, it is true we haven't got
very big theatre for this city, but at
present l don't see how a larger
house could exist when it is almost
an impossibility for small one to do
SO. And now there is only one thing
that | would advise, and that is TO
brace up and give little more sup
port to the place that needs it the
most, and then in the future we might
be able to see into a larger theatre.
But we must crawl before walking.
And what the Lorraine theatre needs
is help, help, help.
