Protection for the Worker Discover Secret of Japs Discover Secret of Japs An Antitoxin for Laziness An Antitoxin for Laziness Marriage in Ancient Rome Marriage in Ancient Rome VOL. 21. NO. 20. In many countries the question of insurance for workingmen is considered important, and in at least a dozen countries a practical solution of the question has been found and applied. The systems, though similar, are varied. United States Consul Haynes, at Rouen, France, has gathered and sent to the Department of Labor and Community insurance concerning men's insurance in a country. The insurance against accidents and disability is obligatory for miners. Moreover, since Jan. 1, 1900, the government has a national fund for retiring pensions, which is voluntary, and insures to each of its members when sixty-five years of age a pension of $90.50 annually. The insurance of miners has also been compulsory in Austria since 1889. The minimum insurance is, for men, $41, for women $20.50. Insurance against sickness and accident is also obligatory for those engaged in industrial and agricultural pursuits. Excess care per cent of the insurance exceed 60 per cent of the annual wages. In Denmark the needy who have reached sixty years of age receive help in varying proportions, the state and commune contributing equally. For the past fifteen years a workman's insurance committee has existed in Sweden, and since 1886 the Riksdag has put aside yearly the sum of $428,800 to cover the first expense when the law for insurance of workmen is voted. In Norway accident insurance for the industrially employed workman whose salary does not exceed $200 a year is compulsory. Insurance is obligatory for industrial employees of either six in Hungary, and for those engaged in commercial activities. $15 a day. All members are as- in the nursery of "Fruitlands," on the outskirts of Augusta, Ga., stands a peculiar orange tree which has had a more romantic history and is represented by more varied descendants than any other tree in the country. It is a thorny bush, green even in winter, although its leaves are gone and looks more like a hedgeplant than an orange tree in spite of the tiny yellow balls which ornament its branches. It is also used to western commerce its quaint plants and shrubs were among the first things to attract attention to it. Tiny orange trees so small that they grow in tubs and could be set on a stand in an ordinary room, yet so perfect that they produced blossoms and fruit in season and so gnarled that they were evidently very old, were brought to America to ornament the conservatories of plant lovers. American gardeners sought in vain the stock which was the basis for these dwarfs. It was evidently a grafted tree, and from its variety a seeds of tree, none of them like the root stalk, were obtained. Of the earliest of the collections came to Fruitlands. Many died. One of those which died was thrown out on a heap of rubbish, became buried, and was forgotten. After According to Berlin reports, a scientist of that city has discovered what has been facetiously termed an antitoxin for laziness. The doctor thinks his discovery will be of importance in the treatment of neurasthenin or nervous exhaustion and the convulsionscence from acute diseases. His experiments are described as follows: A guinea pig was drawn backward on a rough carpet, by means of a string, until it no longer resisted interference with its motion and was totally exhausted. Stimulation was continued, by means of electricity, until the animal was in a state of autoinoxiation, that is to say, a condition of infection from the toxin or poison generated by itself. During the experiment, the temperature of the guinea pig fell very greatly. When exhaustion was carried no fire was killed, immediately after death, the toxin (toxinion) was obtained from the muscles of the animal. When dried in a space exhausted of air, the toxin was found to consist of yellowish-brown scales, that were not very stable and had to be kept in Not only was the "bachelor evil" well recognized in ancient Rome in the days of the early Caesars in much the same way that it is to-day, but many other phases of the marriage question were not unlike the problems that are up for solution in this present year of grace. The matter of divorce was one. People had an idea even then that it was not good for the state, but no effective means to check it was ever discovered. "We are assured by Seneca," says the historian Ingo, that there were women in Rome who counted their ages not five years, but by the husbands they had had. Juvenal tells one of a woman who married eight husbands in five years. Divorce was granted on the slightest pretext. Many separated merely from love of change, disdaining, to give, any reason, like sured (1) free medical treatment, with medicine, for twenty weeks, (2) food for at least twenty weeks, (3) aid in childbirth and (4) burial expenses. There is obligatory accident insurance in Italy. There is also voluntary insurance against sickness and disability pension one must be sixty years of age and have been insured for twenty-five years. In Finland there is insurance against sickness, the cost being borne equally by employer and employee. There is also insurance against accidents in industrial establishments. The accident fund is supported by employers and the state, the workmen contributing nothing. A pension of $87 is allowed by the government of New Zealand to the indigent age who have lived in the country uninterrupted for twenty-five years without any legal condensation. Every old person who has come to the pension age gets the tire pension if he has a personal revenue of $164 or less. For each $1.50 above $164 the law diminishes his pension accordingly. There is perhaps no country in the world where women are so protected by the state or are so cared for in Germany, says Consult Haynes. Even clerks, shop assistants and servants are compelled to insure. This insurance is effected by passing into a book stamps every week, and it is the duty of employers to see that this is faithfully done. In the German Empire there are three insurances for workmen, all of which are obligatory and under the authority of the Imperial Insurance Office. They are accident, sickness and old age, or infirmity. The insurance is mutual and its administration is autonomous under the supervision, which distinctions of nationality, all persons working in Germany. awhile, however, an odd plant was dis covered to be coming up in the rub bish heap and on investigation it was found that the dwarf tree had sprouted from the roots. This new stalk came from below the graft and was own child of the root—a bit of the genuine, long-sought stock. That carefully nursed and guarded sapling is the odd-shaped bush in the Fruticosa garden. As soon as it beed and guarded as carefully as the original stalk. After year all the seeds were planted and even the seeds of the new plants till at last the nursery was well stocked with the thorny trifoliata. Citrus trifoliata is extremely hardy and productive. So upon the seedling of this tree has been grafted almost an infinite variety of other fruits to obtain commercial trees. Orchards all over the country, and in fact in all parts of the world, where oranges are grown, are stocked with descendants of citrus trifoliata, although, of course, not all are from this stock so often. The fruit is fortunate accidental discovery was made in Georgia other garden* succeeded in wrestling the secret from the Japanese and bringing over seedlings. sealed glass tubes, preferably in liquid air. This toxin or poison, injected into other guinea pigs, produced symptoms of exhaustion followed by death within twenty-four hours. The same poison could not be obtained from the muscles of non-exhausted animals. This toxin corresponding to the toxin thus procured is produced very much like that of diphtheria by injecting the toxin into the circulation of horses. When dried in a vacuum, the resulting scales—unlike those of the toxin—are permanent. In fact, the substance retains its activity even after months. It is readily taken up by the stomach, but is generally injected under the skin by means of a hypodermic syringe. Small animals; into which the toxin was injected, remained in a perfectly normal condition when in a perfectly healthy animal, but encountered to the poison when the antitoxin was not administered. The introduction of the antitoxin did not produce any disturbance whatsoever; on the contrary, it was followed by increased vigor and energy. Aemilius Paulus, who told his friends that the knew best where his shoes pinched him.' 'Rich wives were not much sought after by wise men. Their complete emancipation made them difficult to manage. Accordingly, since both rich and poor wives were objectionable, the large majority of men never married at all. In most cases a Roman bridegroom knew practically nothing of his wife's character until after marriage. Marriage for the Roman woman an meant a transitive sex-seclusion to almost bounded liberty. She married, as a matter of course, at her husband's table, whether he had company or not. She could go where she liked, either to the temples of Isis and Serapis or to the circus and amphitheater. She had her own troops of slaves, over whom she ruled without interference. THE APPEAL. STORY of FREAK TRAVEL THE MARKET Here is a travel story somewhat differing from the parlor-car variety: A son of ex-Treasurer Harmon of Virginia, with but three cents cash capital, but millions in love of excitement, adventure and nature, behought himself, when in San Francisco, to take a stroll across the city, a friend—like himself, an educated man—to accompany him, and in three weeks they reached Los Angeles. Five weeks more brought them to Albuquerque (N. M.), where they decided to walk the rest of the distance by proxy, as they had earned a few dollars and could buy a rickety covered cart and a span of three donkeys, one of which gave birth to a colt, thus the wagon entered New York as a four-band.

"I see," said the St. Louis man, "that the question of whether animals think or not is now being much discussed in the papers." "And which side do you take?" was asked. "I know they think. When I was a boy I went after harvest apples once a day and drove me up a tree and kept me there for five hours." "But that doesn't prove that he had 'But that doesn't prove that he had thoughts.' 'Hold on. The farmer was away from home and didn't return until sunday, and then he took me down out of the tree and gave me the walloping of my life. In the first place, the dog knew his master was gone; in the second, he know that he wouldn't be back until sunday; thirdly, he know that he found that dog, back and found that me, I'd get hiding; lastly, if it wasn't all reasoned out, why didn't he leave me at the end of four hours to bite a tramp who was stealing, turnips farther down the road? I still have one more reason.' "And that is?" "That three months later, when I met that dog on the steps of the meeting house of a Sunday, he bolted for home like a streak of greased lightning.

Should Have Known Sooner Two women, the one a private secretary and the other the ruling power of the telephone exchange of a big downtown building, went into a restaurant the other day to get their luncheon. They had been taking their noon-day meal at this place for about a year and were surprised when the table was set with a brand-new set of dishes. They examined the new ware critically and when they stepped up to the desk to pay their checks were ready to give an opinion in response to the cashier's question, "How did you like our new dishes." "Why, I don't think much of them," replied Miss H. "I don't like the color." "I no ought to," replied the cashier with a smile as she handed their money back. "It was decided that the first party that ate from the new dishes should have the meal free." "Well, didn't you tell us that before we ordered," they both shouted.

Title to Much Valuable Property Involved in the Discovery—Plate and Jewels Also in Receptacle Strangely Brought to Light. Concealed for a century and more, the will of Nathan Weathersby lay in the heart of a giant gak to that long had been a landmark of the old Dale place, opposite the Lackawanna station here, rays a Lincoln Park (N. J.) corpendent of the New York Press, until Curtis Dickson the morning chopped down the tree and lay bare the secret of 116 years. The musty testament, signed in 1789, lay among other time-yellowed papers in a battered tin box at the bottom of the tree's hollow. It looked like little more than a scrap of paper when Caliphus turned it out of the box, yet it may be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, for it in Weatherlys bequeathed to his sons Charles and Andrew twelve acres of land on Manhattan island, now supposed to be a valuable part of Harlem of Washington heights. Save that the land left to the sons of the ought's location is not ought's, but if it is anywhere in Manhattan its value logically has increased hundreds of times. That the will is a serious document and yet may be the basis of extensive litigation is evident from the fact that a deed to the land lay beside it when Caliphus opened the box. In the second instrument it is stated formally that the twelve acres are at the northern end of the island, and the boundaries of the plot are set forth in the stitched legal phrases of the period, but they are not clear when read in the light of the modern metropolitan platting system, it is said, and much differs from the traditional establishment establishing their accuracy to the satisfaction of the courts. Nevertheless, laymen who have seen the deed be lieve it ultimately will be accepted. Other papers were found in the box, but they were not the whole of the find. A dull glow at the bottom of the hollow when the Swede's ax let the first ray of sunlight into the cavity betrayed the presence of pieces of silver that plainly once were the treasures or ornaments of colonies in the New World, but the silver ware still showed its fineness under the coating of decades.

By whom the documents and treasure could have been placed in the tree is beyond the conjecture of the oldest dweller in this region. The tree is so old that it was a veteran when Lincoln Park's grandisres were boys. Charles Dale owns the property on which the tree stood. The land once belonged to a wealthy old family named Harris. The Harris homestead is a fine old house, even to-day. Died of Improvements A good, poor German of Saxonville recently sent his sick wife to the Framingham hospital. For many days he wended his weary way there to find out how she was getting along. He was told each day that she was improving. Though he called daily for three weeks he regularly got the same answer—"improving." At last a telephone message informed him that she was dead. He was seen going along with head bent with grief, and when one of his neighbors asked what his wife died of he answered: "Died of improvements." Few "Find Their Work" "Peace Trust" a Possibility Cremation of Hindu Dead Won Bet on Overdraft Sunshine in "The Boy" The writer for the World's Work who inquired of twenty clergymen if they would choose the same occupation if they had their lives to live over, need not have been surprised to find nine who replied that they would not; nor the investigator for Leslie's Monthly who asked eleven teachers a similar question to find only one who was willing to say yes. Such expressions of dislike can be because of men and women of any and every vocation, says the New Bedford Standard. The person who wishes he were something else than what he actually is can be found at almost any minute of the day by any one who takes the pains to inquire. Not much is proved by it, except that, in the first place, there are too many square pegs in round holes, and that, in the second place, there are more pegs for which there are no appropriate holes than is good for the community. We have no question that the nine clergymen and the ten teachers who nine they had are not conspicuous successes in the occupations they had selected, and it is rather to be doubted if all of them would have been successes in any of the occupations which they wish they had selected. It is not difficult for a clergyman to would be great, lawyer, teacher great lawyer, teacher An English writer has turned his eyes toward a group of the enormously rich men of this country and asks if it would be possible for the wealth and power they and others represent to be welded together in the cause of a world peace.

He promoted for the benefit of a fighting nation is a proof of capitalistic organization. The Rockefeller, Morgan Vanderbilt and Carnegies of America, together with 'countless men whose absurd riches have been made less ostentatiously, have not inherited the tradition of making money for the mere pleasure of the making; they are likely to establish a tradition for themselves. They have ideas, and would like to be numbered among the immortals. The opportunity presents itself to them, and once upon the world's stock markets, declare themselves the opponents of any financial group that sought to make war possible and in the moment when the strength of their attitude was recognized they would be hailed as saviors of mankind. Toward the upper end of the ghats is the burning ground. There are no steps here, but a slope of beaten dirt. Stop half an hour and you may see every step of the cremation rites. Sitting on stone ramparts above, to right and left, are friends and relatives of the dead ones. The figure to the right, huddled up in a bright green wrap, is of the lowest caste of Hindus and keeps the mat shed near by where the sacred fire for igniting every corpse is for sale. You hear hoarse, loud cries of "Ram! Ramanat!" and behold, a burial procession is coming down the slope. Four men carry the corpse slung between two bamboo poles, and cry to the god Ram. He is the personification of filial love, and thus it is meet that they could cam to the river and immerse the corpse. It is wrapped in a white shroud stained with red blotches. Then they lift the head slightly out of the water and "We often receive peculiar requests for overdrafts," said a banker the other day. "A client whose standing account had never exceeded $1,000 requested us to grant him an overdraft of $4,000, stating that he was not able to offer an explanation at the present, but assured us that at no time would the bank be in any danger of losing, as the overdraft would not be real.

But the great lawyers and the splendid captains of industry might, if they would tell some stories of disillusion about the business. They would certainly say that if unsuccessful preachers and teachers put no more effort and interest into the law or into industry than they have put into preaching and teaching, the end would be the same disappointment and the same longing for something else. "Happy is the man who has found his work." It is a pity that so many persons have apparently not found the work that they could best do and be happy in it. If someone it appears to us as if those who complain because they did not choose rightly, and who give up their thought to speculations of how much better they could have done if they had done something else, are not quite doing themselves and their opportunities full justice. The secret of happiness in an occupation is usually in the worker himself more than it is in the occupation. And it mostly comes from the disposition and the determination to do the best possible, even if a mistake or bad fortune have made a wrong choice, and that could have been done, but in doing the best you can where you are is found the recipe of contentment with a life-work. "Czars, kaisers, sultans and all of their kind," he continues, "would take their place in the tail of the new comet; the men who raised the preservation of peace to the level of the selling of low-fash oil, the collection of works of fine art valued chiefly for their price, and the packing of pork would send the echoes of their name and fame reverberating down the ages. Incidentally there would be money in the business. The greater demand for steel and corn and oil would add to the existing wealth; the general sense of security would encourage new industries—perhaps lead through the gateway of the trusts to the millennium of which Edward Bellamy dreamed. "Finance started the present war in the east and can end it. The real power that makes or mars war is money.

Of the two remaining, one pours oil upon the wood from a small clay dish, while the other goes to the firehouse above. He soon returns with a long straw wisp, blazing at one end.

THE PRESIDENT AT CHICAGO. The words of President Roosevelt at Chicago last week, in reply to the isis leader, who presented an insulting and treasonable petition, had the true ring. It was clear that the law must be upheld at any cost—that labor unions have no more right to violate the law than individuals. For more than a month, there has been a veritable reign of terror in Chicago. Then have they been caught, other than that they were trying to work and make an honest living. Innocent citizens, who had no connection whatever, with the strike, have been slugged and in many cases seriously injured by strikers. When the president came to Chicago not many persons imagined that he would meet in a public address the live issue which was stirring the city. As the hamunet table he turned to Mayor Dumme, who sat at his right, "Mr. Mayor, as president of the United States, and therefore as representative of the people of this country, I give you as a matter of course, my heart support in upholding the秩序 and in putting down violence by a mob or by an individual." There need not be the slightest apprehension in the thought of the most timid that ever the mob spirit will prevail in this country. These immediately responsible for demanding that we must know you feel (turning to Mayor Dunne) exhaust every effort in so dealing with it, before it is made upon any outside body, but, if ever the need arises, back of the city stands the state, and lack of the state stands the nation." The president's words are the outburst of aposease, appause which will find echo in the hearts of all law-abiding Americans. CURTIS SEES A LIGHT Upon soudy and divers occasions, THE APPEAL has criticised 'Correspondent William E. Curtis in rather strenuous style. Mr. Curtis perambulated dimencloum seeking information he found it in great profusion. It was plenitively supplied by Governor Vardaman and many other Southern colonies, and Mr. Curtis carefully noted it all in his book of memoranda with the statements of the various Southern statisticians, Mr. Curtis treated to Washington, D. C., and compared these statistics with those of the United States census; and because he discussed it at the southern 'bishops' conference, we were nearly every one of the assertions they had made to him. We can not find space to reproduce the long letter, but we shall give a brief enumeration of the points which are disproved by the evidence of the official reports. The census shows the following facts, viz. 1st—The Southern Afro-American is not dying out, but increasing at the healthful and normal rate of 31.1 per cent. 2nd—He is not flocking to the cities and living in an idleness and crime, but increasing at the 13.3 per cent in the rural districts. 3—He is not leaving the plantations. 22.3 per cent more Afro-Americans were employed on the plantations in 1900 than in 1800. 4th—The number of bride-winners, parents and Afro-Americans increased during the last ten years more than double that of the whites; the number of teachers increased at a double rate to that of the whites. The number of Afro-Americans illiterates decreases about 11 per cent that of the whites about 7 per cent. 5th—As to the assertion that educated Afro-Americans are worthless, Mr. Curtski says: "During my limited travels, I have found a number of modest, unassuming, hard-working, earnest Afro-American preachers, teachers, and other educated men, who would be a credit to any community, and have earned the respect and confidence of a public that is naturally prejudiced against them." But he adds that "An educated Negro is too apt to be vain of his accomplishments to assert himself in an offensive manner." It is very easy to see that in this expression, Mr. Curtis simply rechoses the sentiment of the Southern colonel; who above all things abhors the idea of the Afro-American having anything to do with politics. But Afro-Americans have a good deal with politics and Mr. Curtis does not assign any reason why they should do otherwise in the South. The idea that Afro-Americans "should build up a reputation for ability and integrity before aspiring to honors and office," is not applied to white men and is very much like advising them not to go into the water until they learn how to swim. professor of history and integrity protect him from insult and outrage at the hotels and in the cars than if he were destitute of both Neither do these qualities protect Dr. Crum, who is as white in complexion as the majority of Southern white men. Mr. Curtis' theory leads to the conclusion that the Afro-American should, without protest accept a degraded position and disqualifies him to do. Education makes men, not funkles. Bank President Bigelow, the swiper of some two or three millions, was, theoretically, a moralist of the most exemplary type. He said in an address to the American Bankers' association that he was a moralist, and you that it has been well said that our greatest debt to Benjamin Franklin has been in the lessons of honesty, thrift, temperance, industry and economy which he inculcated, and which have so enormously influenced our lives. Of course, Bigelow and the greater part of his audience knew perfectly well that the whole thing was a farce—a play to the galleries; but a man who can manly feel so good when he can walk along Broadway while admiring thousands stand around exclaiming: "There goes Bigelow, honest Bigelow, thrifty Bigelow, economical Bigelow, charming Bigelow, hearty shirt from his back. Ben Bigelow—may his tribe decrease. Governor Falk of Missouri, seems to be just as determined about suppressing lynching as he has been in the punishment of brie-takers and other law breakers. Relative to the recent lynching in his state, he said: "I am not deserving of death the man may have been, or how dastardly the crime, it was murder for the mob to hang him. Kidnapping is a capital offense in Missouri, but the execution should be by law and not by a mob. "It is just as much an offense in the law for a law fow to kill a guilty person, which should be to lynch an innocent one. We must have government by law, and not by mobs, and those who take part in such lawlessness do so at their peril. "The attorney general has been directed to investigate the matter and to assist the prosecuting attorney of the county in bringing to justice those participating in this crime. Lynchings will not be tolerated in Missouri." Surgeon Major Woodruff, of the U. S. army has discovered that the *Nego* is really a nocturnal animal." He addicts this profig: "In the southern woods, the *Nego* is heard all night long, prowling about, shouting, singing, courting and chicken stealing." The Surgeon-Major does not explain how anybody can be heard "prowling about," which is somewhat insatiable. The surgeon could do so, if he tried, by referring to the fact that a nocturnal animal must not be judged by ordinary rules. And, by the way, if a surgeon Major is not exempt from the rules, he is good many people will come to the conclusion that he is a blasted fool. --- Private Dilworth of the United States army, who is a Caucasian, has married a molato girl and the post at which his regiment is stationed is up in arms. The soldiers who not accepted Dilworth from return from his honeymoon. The officers did not take cognizance of the situation until the soldiers refused to attend the mess if Dilworth was permitted to be present. The only solution of the problem accorded to the Christian Dilworth and serve the Christian Dilworth and permit him to eat them where he wished so long as it was not in the mess hall. If Dilworth had lived in adultery with an Afro-American girl he would have been voted a jolly good boy, but because he has been shunned by his messmates. That's the general attitude in this land of cant and hypocrisy. The attempt: to introduce religious instruction into the public schools of Washington City, made by some squirrels, is to some red-hot literature; the most admirable specimen of which is Rabbi Abram Simon's reply to the Dr. McKim.

Wilkins, with introduction by Whitlaw Redd. Two volumes. $v.0. Net. $4.50. By mail. $5.00. New York: G. P. Hewlett. "A Political History of Slavery." by Wm. Henry Smith, is an account of the contumacy over the slavery question, from the early days of the 18th century to the God of Reconstruction period in the United States. There is an introduction, Whitlaw Redd, with Mr. Smith's career and which gives quite an extended criticism of these two very instructive vol- strategists Von Molkte. One might easily imagine that the reingrucities of the Revolution were a being of great importance and close throughout the country. The events which led up to the war with Germany are thus described by author. "Bismarck prepared the war, Napo H. wanted it, the great bourgeois boon. They might have stopped it by a war with France. My conte himself with a grimace. My conte in war our certain ruin: he knew our ter- "Opposition to the institution of slavery arose from religious convictions as to its sinfulness or from economic reasons, those who with Mr. Jefferson condemned it because of its destructive influence because as a consequence of political forces; while that having its source in religious feelings played a third party. The Society of Friends led all other denominations in the employment of the priesthood. The Lord Lloyd Garvin, Benjamin Lundy or Chas, of moral influence for the eradication of slavery, ousted ospreed utterances in the P. Sesyberian, Baptist and Methodist churches at an early day, especially in Ohio, Kentucky Vol. II opens with a chapter on "The State," which begins with "In the history of nations wacky rulers are treated with scant respect. They become oppression; they impel governments and invite orders to enter in; they are the Mr. Buchanan was brought face to face with the Union and overthrow the government, he construed the fundamental law to be executive. Imagine Andrew Jackson, the first president of the Union, 1860-1861. Would members of Congress engaged in the work of disunion have been the House? Would they have bullied him CHINA TRADE MARK Civil War Times. By Daniel Walt Howe, author of the Puritan Republic, 8 vols. (1912), $1.50. Indianapolis: Dobbs Hill Co. The war of '61 will never cease—at least for the personal and never falling to tuple of absorbing interest. This is so, because it seems those giants still survive its vicissitudes; its "hair bread escapes, and the imminent death of them" ful marches; its Getsburg and Chickamauga; because the finale of that concluding battle of the world; because its echoes still reverberate in all the various activities of the world; because its echoes still reverberate in all the various activities of the world; because of these things the author's volume "makes the many, and read the many, by the many, and dents of the great strife which has hitherto been unwritten, is brought forth One of the most interesting chapters of the organization of the Confederacy toward the "Negro Soldier." The author tells us that, during the war, the Confederate master favored the enlistment of black soldiers; that the matter was finally decided by the Confederate bill authorizing the enlistment of Negro soldiers, was defeated by but one vote—that the Confederate desperate circumstances of the Confederacy became so visible that the leaders "cause," a draft order was issued to force the black soldier to fight under the Confederate made effective, the fall of Richmond, and the flight of Jefferson Davis was at hand. The Confederacy especially interesting at under its banner. strategists Von Moltke "While the upper class sells the nation for a few hours of rest, and the liberals demand a hardship, the liberals empire, a handful of men, without arms, are powerful despot. On the one hand young men who form the bourgeoisie have gone to work, the people faithful to the work of 1882, receive the work of the Revolution; on the other hand workmen, the people of the rights of labor. In vain the end of the workmen's forces, to seduce the workmen." The author then follows up with a description of the terrific political struggle which has begun, and which has finally burst in all the horrors of the Paris, Marseilles, Toulouse and Narbonne human slaughter houses in this fratricial struggle which for madness and unrest of that period are brought forward by the history of the human family. Many new events—that is events which are not part of the history of that period are brought forward by the history of the human family. What is considered either from a literary point of view or an achievement of no inconsiderable point is an achievement of no inconsiderable point. --- HENRY WARD BEECHER Henry Ward Beecher. By Lyman Abbe. And New York: Houghton, Millin & Co. Dr. Abbott made the acquaintance of Mr. Beecher, a master friend of him from that time forward, and he was a friend of Brooklyn, and is thus well qualified to give an outline of the character of the man, not so much a history of the life of Mr. Beecher, but of his character as he appeared to Dr. Abbott.

NEGROS AND THE STRIKE Strike sympathizers can stand back in the crowds of spectators and hurl bricks and insults at the strike breakers—white or colored—who are attending strictly to business. But if the drivers thus attacked attempted to protect themselves, the chances are that the policemen would arrest them rather than the persons who were guilty of the disorder—unless, perhaps, the lives or heads of the policemen themselves were in danger, in which case the arrested lawbreaker would be allowed by some justice to get off with a fine of $1, when it should have been a fine of $50 or $100, and from ten to thirty days in jail. The order to arrest all violators of the law seems to have a string to it. If the city officials had put their feet on the violence at the outset they could have stamped it out. I am persuaded that the colored strike breakers have been very unjustly treated. For instance, when the police searched the strike breakers for weapons they would fail to disarm the union pickets. When the police came to the rescue of an attacked Negro they would generally succeed in arresting the colored man, but not his assailants. Students and citizens have been attacked for nothing else than because they were Negroes, despite the fact that they had nothing whatever to do with the strike. William O'Day, a colored union teamster, was attacked by Albert Enders, a union hang-on. The colored man shot his assailant, fatally. The employers should see that he is given a just trial. The other evening a colored laboring man was riding home from his regular work on a 26th street car. When near Stewart avenue the conductor pointed out this man to two union pickets. They at once attempted to get at him and had not the colored man been prepared for such attacks they might have done him great injury before a policeman appeared. Can any one blame the colored men for defending themselves? The Negroes have a better right to work here than so many foreigners who are guilty of all manner of crimes. Worst of all, many of the foreigners are anarchists and plotters against the government of the country. The Negroes As the Public Learn to Know Us Our Business Grows.
