from the inside of the piano, and
clean the keys with a soft cloth
moistened with methylated spirit.

Cooking Cabbage. - Cabbage
should be cooked only until tender
when tested with a fork. Too much
cooking results in changed color
and an indigestible product.
Disagreeable Odor.-The smell
of new paint has a very bad effect

fill a pail of water and sprinkle
in it some hay and one or two
onions, freshly sliced. Stand this in
a room newly painted, and much

Fiancee Dies; What
to Do With Ring?
n EAR Mrs. Post: Will you tell
~ mo Uhaf ic tho prnnSr fhino In

do about an engagement ring after
a girl was engaged and her fiance
died and she becomes engaged to
another man? This is exactly what
has happened to me and M first
fiance's neither is telling everyone
what a terrible person am because
1 won't return he; sons ling to her.
l loved him dearly, and the fact
that 1 now love another in no way
belittles my love for either one, so
far as l can see. They are the
principals in two separate phases
of my life. Why must 1 return the
only thing my first fiance gave me
and which / am sure he would
have wished me to keep always?
Answer: If the ring is one he
bought for you, it is certainly yours
for always. But if the ring was
once his mother s-possibly her own
engagement ring-if it has any
other family history about which she
has a real sentiment, then / think
you should send it back-but not
otherwise.
Introduce Her Tactfully.
n EAR Mrs. Post: My son has
~ given a ring % his fiancee, al
though as yet there has been no
engagement announced and will not
be for several months because her
parents are not returning from
abroad until then. My husband and
/ are to celebrate our wedding an
niversary soon and would like at
this occa sion to introduce her to our
many friends, but we don't want to
in any way "steal the show" from
her parents. Can you explain how
we can introduce her and vet give
no impression of betrothaI?
Answer: There is no reason in
the world why she shouldn't be one
of the guests. and no reason why she
shouldn't be more or less casually
introduced to all the people there.
But certainly she can not very we'll
receive with you without having it
taken for granted that your interest
in her is very special.
When to Stop Eating.
n EAR Mrs. Post: An acquaint-
- ance of mine thinks it improper
to continue eating while being
served with any part of Ter meal,
and every time the waitress ap-
prOaches, whether it is with water
or coffee or no matter what, she
stops eating entirely and does not
eat again until the waitress has left
her place. Isn't this silly?
Answer: You eat exactly the
same except when actually helping
yourself. AS you take your portion
from the dish and put it on your
plate, you stop chewing for that
moment, but this does not mean
that your mouth need be empty.
The Society Pages.
n EAR Mrs. Post: Is it bad form
- to send the brides picture to
the newspapers for publication with
an account of the wedding, if she is
not well known in prominent So
cial groups? Are these society pages
devoted exclusively to the brides
who are daughters of prominent
families?
Answer: 1t is not a question Of
bad form but of how much interest
the society editor feels the account
will have to his readers.
HO,U to Eat Jelly.
n EAR Mrs. Post: Please tell us
- the proper way to eat jelly or
jam?
Answer: A small amount of jelly
is put on piece of meat, already
speared with fork, and eaten. Jelly
or jam on bread and butter is
spread on the bread with butter
knife and eaten in the fingers.

Clergyman's Reception
Needn't Bore anybody

n EAR Mrs. Post: l am one Of the
- committee in charge of giving
q reception for our new clergyman
and his wife. 1t has been suggested
by one of the women that we have a
musical program first, after which
the newcomers will receive and
then everyone go downstairs to the
large Sunday-schOOl room to have
refreshments. l personally think
such an arrangement might prove
drawn out and awkward but l don't
know what better plan to suggest.
Answer: think the combination
of a welcoming reception and
musical program requiring every
one to sit in silence is exactly what
you describe as awkward. If / were
managing it, l would have the en-
tire reception in the Sunday-school
room, which you say is ample,
where one or two members on the
committee would receive with the
clergyman and his wife and intro
duce parishioners to them. Several
Stringed instruments playing softly
as background for conversation
would be delightful. This arrange
ment could not prove firing since
after people have spoken to those
receiving they would stand around
in groups talking to one another
and be served with refreshments.

ers-if they grow tired-would be
free to leave.

by the experience of their eastern

Wages and employment in the
South have increased more rapidly
than in other sections, while hours
have not increased as much, and
this undoubtedly has some bearing
on the absence of strikes. The wage
differential between the South and
other sections was approximately
1875 per cent in 1893; by December,
1886, it had narrowed down to 21.9

STRIKES DON'T BOTHER THE SOUTH
Not AS Much AS the North and East Any Rate-De Begins
Enjoy Results of Campaign o Attract Industries.


SPECTACULAR strikes of re-
~ cent months in the North and
East, with their accompanying
publicity, have largely OBJ
scured from the public con-
seriousness the industrial awak-
ening that is taking place in the
South. Yet southern industrial
leaders feel that labor troubles
outside Dixie will soon be re-
f1ected in increased southern
migrations as industry spreads
out to avoid the difficulties root
ed in INSTRUMENTATION.
Fortunately for the South, which
in the last Is months has pressed
determined campaign to attract new
manufacturing plants, its compare
lively quiet labor conditions have
stood out in serene contrast to the
hectic scenes which have filed the
northern stage.
Department of Labor reports show
that the number of workers involved
in strikes steadily increased in both
the North and South during the last
six months of 1886, the latest period
for which official records are avail
able. But the totals are heavily
against the North, which suffered
894 strikes, involving 372, 495 work
ers, as compared with los strikes,
involving 29,134 workers in Dixie.
The North had its greatest num-
Der of strikes in August and Sep
TENDER, with 1877 in each month, but
163 strikes in October involved the
most workers-95,1 72. The South
had "a strikes in August, keeping A.
563 from employment, but 1886
were kept out by 16 strikes in Oc-
tober.
South Is Non Union.
During the six-month period 40 to
go per cent of all new strikes oc-
CURED in four states-New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and California
with Illinois and Michigan account
ing for sizeable portion of the re-
mainder. During the same six
months only two important strikes
took place in the South-one in the
Chevrolet and Fisher bodies plants
at Atlanta, and one in the plant of
the Celanese Corporation of Amer
lea at Cumberland, Md. Both were
settled amicably.
Scarcity of strikes of either "sit-
down. or "walkout" variety in the
South is easily explained. The South
is relatively non-union. With indus
try less concentrated than in eastern
or middle western regions, it is less
susceptible to strike epidemics.
Some industrialists deem it prob
able that public opinion will have
outlawed the "sit-down' before the
South can be effectively unionized;
if "sit-downs" should appear, state
and local governments should profit

One Waterbury man, Thomas Truxton of 390 Pennington avenue, and four others from Connecticut are included in a list of 299 cadets who will graduate this year from the United States Military Academy at West Point. Graduation will take place on June 12.
 Truxton entered West Poin. upon receiving an appointment from former Senator Blakewell. He was member of the graduating class at Crosby high school and was ranked high in his class. At the U. s. Milf tary Academy he was a member of the lacrosse and soccer teams and vice president of the first class. He
