MARGUERITE.s SEWING MACHINE

From the Paris Intransgeant.
Pars.-Some weeks ago brilliant per-
formance of Faust was given at the
Grand theatre ut Montreal. The interior
OF the theatre presented a fairy like
aspect of luxury and elegance, and MOTH
ing was wanting to make the interpre-
tation worthy of Gounods masterpiece.
Between the first and second acts the
stage manager made a little speech to the
audience: Ladies and Gentlemen: By q
happy innovation our distinguished man
ager has decided to replace the spinning
wheel of Marguerite, a noisy and obsolete
instrument. by a sewing machine of
Messrs X, the running of which is so
smooth that you will not lose a single
note of the delightful song of The King
of Thule
Marguerite gravely took her seat before
the sewing machine, on which the name
of the maker was shown in luminous
characters, and then. when she had fin
ished the lines, murmured enraptured:
This sewing machine is Incompatible.
Moreover. it only costs $780,"
The audience does not appear to have
been in any way shocked.

Lockout in Dublin

A situation has arisen in Dublin,
ireland, which promises to be attend
ed with considerable interest by the
;ndnstrial and labor world. The agree
ment entered into between 400 en-
ployers to cease operations and nave
a general lockout is one which OIL
carried into effect must be followed
by distressing results.
So far as can be learned from the
exchanges coming from Dublin 1t
seems that there has been a contlnu-
Gus performance in the way of strikes
for over a year. Some of these strikes
were for advance in wages, others for
shorter hours of labor and others out
of sympathy with those already on
strike. No sooner was one settled than
another broke out, and as each strike
had the effect of dislocating the en-
tire industrial system it was found
practically impossible to proceed fur
ther with business.
Since the introduction of the home
rule bill and the prospect of its be-
coming law next year there has been
quite revival of industrial and manu-
featuring enterprises in Ireland, es-
peoially in Dublin, and it is little short
of unfortunate to that country that
those young industries struggling into
existence should be crushed with bur-
dens which even long established ones
are unable to endure.
The employers seek to make it plain
that their action is not directed
against trades unionism as principle,
and the concluding paragraph of let
ter from the secretary Of the street
car company to its employees refers to
that fact, but emphatically refuses to
allow the interference of an imported
agent between the company and its
employees. The gauntlet has been flung
down by the employers, and the duel
between capital and labor will be
watched with keener interest than
any event likely to claim attention at
present.

Mexican Situation Clearing

President Wilson feels assured that
his policy of steadfast aloofness is
operating rapidly to bring peace to
distraught Mexico. Senor Gamboa's S
note Is taken as an earnest that Vic
toriano Huerta will not be a candidate
for president. The demand for an ex-
change of ambassadors has been with
drawn. The claim that the present
regime in Mexico is constitutional is
still maintained, but it is declared to
be SO "ad interim" Mr.. Wilson is not
disposed to haggle over this point of
doubtful Importance.
1t is to be hoped that the Washing
ton administration confidence is not
misplaced. With the greatest ease,
Huerta could evade the constitutional
inhibition against his candidacy by re-
signing and then seeking election to
tiiC olll1S lie HOW iOluo ny IlRlt VI
might. Should he do so, the situation
would attain gravity it hitherto has
not reached.
Huerta is being doomed for the
presidency by considerable section
of the Mexican press, and his agents
also are busily at work in this coun-
try. Newspaper articles are appearing
which characterize him at 'the man
of the hour" for his perturbed coun-
try; mansof masterful will and of
undoubted determination; man who
will complete the furrow once he sets
his hand to the plowshare.
All these encomiums may be de-
served. But it cannot be forgotten that
he gained power by the assassination
of those who held it by the ballots of
the people; that his hand is red with
the blood of Madero and Suarez.

steam power packing. There has been
variation for some years. not only in
the packing boxes of these commercially
introduced presses by rival manufact-
urers, but congresses: this last has been
largely corrected. Public ginneries. eharg-
ing from 81 to 81 80 per bale for ginning
and wrapping (this last the supplying of
bagging and tles) have almost taken the
place of the home gin. OF course, on
the plantations and larger farms, the
gins are often owned and operated by
the landlords, but even these, many of
them are operated as public gins. 1t is
well known fact that the average farmer
is slow to adopt innovations. even bene-
atty is the only way to bring them about.
Take the matter of light bales-say, under
300 pounds-a penalty of 81 to $3.50 does
not always check this; often 1t is not
the fault of the farmer but in many in
stances. where the farmer has not suffi-
cient seed cotton to make a standard
bale of 45O pounds, the ginner buys the
seed cotton.
THE purpose of standardizing the size
of the bale is a very important one in
transportation; it is true, also. as to many
other things that go by rail or water.
Cotton is peculiarly a class of freight
that is hard to load so that the max
imum of tonnage will be carried by the
car; pig iron is just the opposite, for
some two feet of pigs in depth in a car
will be the maximum load-all 1t will
carry,

PEGoUD, THE MACHINE

From the Kansas City Star.
Think of the nerve of this F'renchman.
Pegoud.
He mounts more than half a mile into
the air in his monoplane. Then he dives
head down. Instead of righting himself
he sweeps into a curve that brings his
machine upside down. Another drop and
another curve rights the plane.
Imagine the self possession, the absolute
mechanical control of nerve and muscle,
required to accomplish such feat. The
slightest wavering might have upset the
machine. and sent it plunging earthward
to destruction.
There was no chance to get accustomed
TO the strange position with precautions
for safety. Pegoud had to assume that
he would be Just as calm, just as self
possessed. driving his monoplane at that
dizzy height upside down as he would
be in an ordinary fight. He had to have
absolute confideuce in his immunity
from the slightest touch of giddiness.
Under such conditions even the disturb
ance of wrist and arm arising from
an accelerated heart beat might prove
fetal.
The event proved he had taken his
own measure correctly. Pegoud the avia-
tor was no more human than the mono-
plane in which he performed his aerial
acrobatics. Man and mechanism formed

Up the airy mountain,
Down the rushy glen,
We daren't go hunting
For fear of little men;
Wee folk, good folk,
Trooping altogether;
Green jacket red cap,
And white owls feather!
Down along the rocky shore
Some make their home
They live on crispy pancakes
OF yellow tide-foam;
Some in the reeds
or the black mountain lake,
With frogs for their watch dogs,
All night awake.
High on the hill top
The old King sits;
He is now so old and gray
He's night lost his wits.
With bridge of white mist
Columbkill he crosses,
On his stately journeys
From Slieveleagues to Rosses;
Or going up with music
On cold, starry nights,
To sup with the Queen X
OF the gay Northern Lights.
