Morrison and Andrew Furueeth
. v 1
i '
direction of the toventeonth annual (
convention of the federation, held in
Nashville In December, has issued an
add rows to the members of the Fifty
fifth congress.
After calling attention to the Intro-
auction oi mouern macninery arm
new business methods, and the com
petition of convict labor, by which
wage workers are forced into idolnoes
and want, the committee says it feels
that it has a right to bring its griev
ances to the attention of the law-making
power and to accept 'such definite
measures of relief as seem most likely
to improve our condition and preserve
our independence and freedom as
workers and citizens, and therefore
urge your earnest consideration of
and your be-tt efforts in enacting into
law the following mousures:
An eight-hour work day on all pub
lic works, such law to provide that all
contracts or subcontracts for materials
furnished or work done must contain
a provison that eight hours shall be the
maximum labor of any one individual
in any one calander day. Further,
that it shall be the duty of officials
vested with the power of signing such
contract to withhold their signatures
until such provison is inserted therein.
In order to stop tue indiscriminate
and dangerous use of the writ of in
junction we urge the adoption of sen
ate bill No. 35.
In order to in some degree lessen
the competition of convict labor we
urge the adoption of a law to prohibit
the transportatioJ of prison-made
goods from one state into any other
state or territory. t
We urge the adoption of a reason
able law to restrict undesirable immi
gration, such law to be based upon an
educational qualification.

OLD CATERER ON TERRAPIN.
When It Is llaly, the Kwt Infection I In
"Katlnif It All Vourw-lf."
James Pressor, a famous colored ca
terer of this city, dead long ago, lur
nished too following formula for pre
paring and serving terrapin, which was
published iu a gastronomi journal at tho
time when ho was ou earth :
You can't enjoy terrapin unless tho
dayisuippiu. Temperature and terra
pin go hand in hand. Isow, as to your
terrapin. IJless you, there is all the
difference iu tho world in them. Tho
more northerly is tho terrapin found tho
hotter. You eat a Florida terrapin you
needn't despise it, for terrapin is terra
pin everywhere but yon get a Chesa
peake one or a Delaware bay ono, or,
better still, a Long Island ono, and thero
is just the difference between f 10 a
dozen and $36. Warm water kinder
washes the delicate flavor out of them.
Don't you let Mr. Iiergh know it, but
your terrapin must bo boiled alive.
Have a good big pot, with a hot nro un
der it, so that he shan't languish, and
when it has got on a full head of steam
pop him in. What I am gointogivois

snnffliox. There ain't overmuch of it,
more's the pity. The most is in tho
iints of tho leas and side lockers, but if
you want to commit murder just you
smash his gall, and then your terrapin
is gone forever. Watch closely for eggs
and nandle tnem gingerly, jnow, nav

What you are after is to make it blend.
There ain't nothin that must be too point
ed in terrapin stew. It wants to be a
quiet thing, a suave thing, just pervad
ed with a most beautiful and natural
terrapin aroma.
You must serve it to
the people that eats it on a hot plate,
but the real thing is to have it on a
chafin dish, and though a man ought
not to be selfish there is a kind of divine
satisfaction in eatin it all yourself."

The Modern Agnostic.
We look at our churches with their
congregations, growing in numbers and
dwindling in faith, says H. G. Chap
man in The Atlantic, and we ask our
selves: In all these buildings, cheap or
costly, what real prayers rise, and of
those that rise do any get above the
roof? What God hears them and has
t.hpm ever heei an answered prayer? We
look at the face of the dead and repeat
a burial service. If after the manner of
men I have fought with beasts at Ephe
bus, what advantageth it me if the dead
rise not? And as we say the words we
ask ourselvet, "Do the dead rise?" And
if any one is found who believes these
things he knows that there is another
at his elbow who believes them not a
Kbit or an atom, and these two can hit

No IMace For Durrani's Iteniiiins.
Chicago, Jan. 9. A special to the
Chronicle from San Francisco says:
There seems to be uo placo for tho
body of Theodore Durrant. Both cre
matories have positively refused to
handle the remains and no cemetery
has vet consented to receive them.
They aro still at the Durrant house
and it looks us if they would stay there
for some time. Tho elder Durrant
said today:
'My efforts to carry out tho last
wishes of the dead boy have been un
availing. Tho crematories refuse to
ako the body, and cemeteries are
likewise reluctant. We may ship the
body to Los Angeles and have them
cremated there, or we may take tho
body and bury it at sea. Wo don't
know yet what we can do."
TEAS AND TEAS.
Things Once Used or Now Used as Sulmll-
tutes For the Chinese Herb.
Of course every one knows that we
drink a good deal that isn't tea when
we drink a cup of tea. We drink or
are supposed to drink some tea, some
lead and some straw. But there are sev
eral "teas" that the drinkers know are
not made of tea leaves and yet are not
adulterated.
In Peru they drink mate, a tea made
from the Ilex paragnensis, a species of
holly. This is the only mate tea, but
there is a Brazilian tea, gorgonba, call
ed mate there; another tea used in Aus
tria, called Brazilian tea, and several
other so called mate teas are made from
different varieties of the ilex. In Lab
rador they make a tea from two species
of ledum. Oswego tea was mado from
the scarlet mouarda, and mountain tea
from the dwarf evergreen, Gaultheria
proenmbens. Then clover tea and tansy
tea and catnip tea and mint tea are
need, though not as beverages.
In Sumatra they nse coffee leaves to
make tea out of, and the beverage is
Baid to be very refreshing. In Mauritius
the leaves of an orchid, Angroecum
fragrans, are nsed. The Tonquiuese
have teas of their own, made of leaves,
berries, barks and woods. The Abys-
sinians make tea out of the leaves of
the Catha edulis. When a sentinel can't
leave his post to get a cup of tea, bo
can chew a leaf or two of this plant,
and he won't feel like going to sleep
all night. In Tasmania there are said
to be more than 200 substitutes for tea;
in England they nsed to make a tea of
sage, betony or rosemary and of rai--p
berrv leaves: in France they nse black
currant leaves and borage to make tea,
and a centnrv or so ago they gathered
in English gardens and fields ash, elder
and sloe leaves, and the leaves of white
thorn and blackthorn, out of which to
make tea. So it is evident that there
are teas and teas. New York Sun.
Animals' Fright Is Short.
A question that has often been asked
is, How long does fright last in a wild
creature? The close observer will be
surprised at its brief duration. They
are not subject to "nerves" like human
beings. A partridge after running (or
rather flying) the gantlet of half a dozen
guns if we may be allowed a mixed
metaphor drops on the other side of a
hedge and begins calmly to peck as if
nothing had happened. Yon would
think a rabbit after hearing a charge of
shot whistling about its haunches and
just managing to escape from a yelp
ing spaniel would keep indoors for
week, but out it pops quite merrily as
soon as the coast is clear. A fox pur
sued by hounds has been known to halt
and kill a fowl in its flight, though we
may assume that his enemies were not
close to Revnard at the time. We have
been led into thinking about the matter
by noting what took place at a cover
after being shot over. Pall Mall Ga
zette. Urj-lDg Clothes.
The drying of clothes in frosty
weather is sometimes, in tho case of
delicate fabrics, attended with tearing
because of the quick stiffening in the
very cold air. A simple precaution
which will prevent any such trouble is
to dissolve three or four handfuls of
coarse salt in the last rius-ing water,
thus making it, in fact, a weak brine.
Articles so rinsed will not suffer from
or stifleu with the cold.
The cheeks become pale from fear be
cause the mental emotion diminishes
the action of the heart and lungs and so
impedes the circulation.
