FOES "ONLY . DURING DEBATE
VERY LIKE BUSINESS MATTER
And That Ended, Recriminating Sena
' -J. Speedily Forget Their
'' Differences.
The late John J. Ingalls, senator
from Kansas, let loose In the senate
one day about Conkling, Hancock and
several other distinguished people.
His remarks were particularly severe.
Joe Blackburn, then senator from
Kentucky, -was chosen to answer In
galls, and he took a good deal of hide
off the brilliant Kansan. In one para
graph Blackburn said: "And this
man has the temerity to assail Han
cockHancock the Superb who was
giving of his life's blood on the
heights of Gettysburg while the sena
tor from Kansas was skulking along
behind a regiment of Kansas jay
hawkers, trying those jayhawkers in
the capacity of judge advocate for
robbing hen roosts."
There was more of the same kind,
and everybody thought there would be
trouble, inasmuch as Ingalls was high
spirited and Blackburn unafraid.
After, the senate adjourned Black
burn and Ingalls met, face to face, in
the corridor in front of the marble
room. A dozen spectators looked for
carnage.
Ingalls stopped, looked squarely into
Blackburn's eyes and Blackburn glared
back.
'Joe',' said Ingalls, putting out his
hand, "isn't this cruel war over?"
'It is," said Blackburn, taking the
offered hand, and they went off arm
in arm". Saturday Evening Post.

TEMPLE DIRECTORS.
Hold Brief Meeting and Escape With
out Doing Much Business.
The directors of the Labor Temple
Association met Monday evening, but
did not transact any business worthy
of mention. There are two or three
plans brewing that promise much,
and until these plans are well under
way little else will be considered.
The Temple proposition has received
a big Impetus during the past wee,
and there are stockholders who
wouldn't sell out at a 50 per cent
premium; knowing what they know.
It Is possible that some of the
plans now under way will be in full
wing by next Monday night, so
every director ought to be on hand
then to get the facts.
PAINTERS AND DECORATORS.
The strike is off. Despite the efforts
of loyal unionists to hold the mem
bers in line, the meeting last Friday
night accepted the open shop, accept
ed the proposition of the employers
and went back. Men who went back
to work at the employers' offer before
the strike was declared off were
present in force and voted solidly to
gig back. President Coffey of the
Sttate Federation of Labor and Will
M. Maupin urged the men not to con
sider the open shop proposition, but
their advice was not heeded. The
meeting was a stormy one.
A lot might be said on this subject,
but in the opinion of this humble lit
tle labor paper the least said the bet
ter. Unless the Painters, Paperhang
ers and Decorators re-open the sub
ject, it is a closed incident with The
Wageworker and with the "closed
shop" unions of the city.
SHEET METAL WORKERS.
Calls Eleven Hundred Negro Girls
Out of Tobacco Factory.
LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 8. Hazel
Spaulding, a white girl, succeeded in
calling a strike of 1,100 negresses em
ployed as stemmers by the American
Tobacco company. The young woman,
known as "The Girl in Blue," suc
ceeded in slipping past the com
pany's guards into the plant, shout
ing, "Strike for your rights and fol
low me."
in an instant the hundreds of ne
gresses left their work and rushed
pell-mell after her, later joining the
400 white girl strikers who had pre
viously gone out at another plant oi
the company. Earlier in the day a
crowd of girl strikers and their sym
pathizers had surrounded the plant in
an endeavor to get the negresses to
strike, but the police prevented them,

PECULIAR VISION OF' FISH
Hypothesis That .Seems to Explain
the Constant Revolution of
. the Eyeball.
The medium in which fresh-water
fishes live gives them a chance to see
a great distance only in the horizontal
direction. It seems impossible to ex
plain the constant revolution of the
eyeball, on any other hypothesis ex
cept that the optical axis extends for
ward Instead of sidewise.
When a fish wishes to eat anything,
either at the bottom of the pond or
at the surface of the water, it swims
directly toward the object; and in this
case the eyes are Instantly adjusted
In line with the body, so as to bring
the image of the particle desired upon
the posterior portion of the retina.
In this case they lose their horizontal
position.
If a fish wishes to turn to the right
or left in the water, the first move
ment Is that of the eyes In unison in
the direction of the turning. This
would be entirely unnecessary if the
apparent axis was the axis of the most
distinct vision, as one of the eyes
would see all that was to be seen on
the side of the turning. After this
movement of the eyes, the body turns
enough to bring the eyes -into their
normal position, then there is again a
movement of the eyes, and next
movement of the body. This causes a
peculiar jerking motion of the eyeballs
during the whole time of the turning
of the body.
Little Romance In Many of the Mar
riages Contracted by Ger
man Couples.
From the beginning the little Ger
man girl is trained to matrimony. "Eat
your fish fresh and marry your daugh
ter while she. is young," runs the Ger
man proverb. The girl, coming from
a race of practical-minded, deft-handed
people with a counter-balance of ideal
ism, has her dreams of a fairy prince.
They dwindle and fade in the face of
realities till at last she is glad to
marry a sober business man from 10
to 30 years her senior. This dis
crepancy in years is due to the cir
cumstance that a man in Germany, ac
cording to government regulations,
must spent so many years in prepara
tion for his profession that by the
time he is able to support a wife he
is at the age when an American man
has already made the initial success
of his career. But men and women
are anxious enough to marry.
When other hope fails some of
them advertise, for many .German
newspapers have a kind of marriage
market in their columns. Such. ad
vertisements read:
'I am still young, strong, and with
a fortune of 12,000 marks. How shall
I go about getting a husband? Kind
advice sought by and so on."
'A Jewish lady of 25, beautiful, with
a dowry of 200,000 marks, would like
to marry a man of title and good fam
ily. She would be willing to be bap
tized into his religion. A meeting must
be arranged for in. a dignified manner."
'The manager of a good business
would like to marry a pretty widow,
very strong, weighing about 180, but
of good figure, and with a fortune of
a few thousand marks."
Proud of His Prospects.
Louis Pierre was one of a number
of Canadian immigrants who settled
at Fitzgerald, Ga. As he spoke both
French and English, he rapidly be
came a man of Importance, and was
successively elected to the offices of
city marshal, corener and justice of
the peace.
A dispute arose between the French
and English settlers as to the supe
riority of the United States over the
Canadian, provinces. They finally
agreed to leave the decision to Judge
Pierre, who handed down this deci
sion:

A Polythelst.
"When the late Bishop Foss was
president of Amenta seminary," said
an aged Methodist of Philadelphia,
onoe heard him deliver an Interesting
Easter address on heathenism and
idolatry.
"Bishop Foss showed us, with a lit
tle story, the bad effect that the many
gods of polytheism has upon the mind,
"He said a little English boy living
in India was rebuked by his mother
for telling a falsehood.
'"God, if you tell falsehoods, will
be very angry with you,' said the
mother.
'"Very well,' the youngster an
swered, men I will change my
god.' "
Blessed Illusions.
Thank heaven that a little illusion
is left to us, to enable us to be useful
and agreeable that we don't know
exactly what our friends think, of us
that the world is not made of look
ing glass, to show us just the figure
we are making, and just what is going
on behind our backs! By the help of
dear friendly illusion, we are able to
dream that we are charming and our
faces wear a becoming air of self-
possession; we are able to dream that
other men admire our talents and
our benignity is undisturbed; we are
able to dream that we are doing much
good and we do a little. George

POISE OF TROUT AND KESTREL
Both the Fish and Bird Present Al
luring Sight to the Lover of
Beauties of Nature.
As the kestrel is to the clouds so Is
the trout to the crystal waters. Both
kestrels and trout display that ' mag
ical poising, as if suspended by in
visible threads only now and then,
when cross currents are encountered,
is a sign given to show that life itself
is not in suspense. '
A brief agitation of the kestrel's
wings, a swishing of the trout's tail
the cross current is weathered, and
bird or fish poises motionless again.
And as when walking along we are
pulled up in ever fresh wonder by the
sight of the hovering kestrel, so we
must needs pause on a bridge when
there Is a trout in the stream below.
He looks his best poising with head
to the stream a shapely form against
the background of smooth brown peb
bles and waving emerald weeds. Lean-
over the bridge with eyes on the trout
a vision Is conjured an alluring fly
drops on the water, then a slack line
tightens, there is a Bong from the
reel, a rod bends; there follows a daz
zling dance of vermilion spots against
the green of the bank.
Or as we come to the bridge on a
winter's day we think we hear a
mighty splashing of water over the
pebbles which turns out to be the
play of 30 or 40 trout the play of the
last round of some water tourney. As
they come to the surface, rolling and
wallowing their great fat aides look
twice as big as when seen through the
clear water they almost make a dam
across the stream as they jostle each
other seeking for the choicest places
on the spawning bed.
Life's Lessons.
An old gentleman, well on in years,
sits handsomely and naturally in the
bow-window of his age, scanning ex
perience with reverted eye; and,
chirping and smiling, communicates
the accidents and reads the lesson of
his long career. Opinions are strength
ened, indeed, but they are also weed
ed out in the course of years. What
remains steadily present to the eye
of the retired veteran in his hermit
age, what still ministers to his con
tent, what still quickens his old hon
est heart these are "the real long-
lived things" that Whitman tells us
to prefer. Where youth agrees with
age, not where they differ, wisdom
dies, and it is when the young dis
ciple finds his heart to beat in tune
with his gray-bearded teacher's that a
lesson may be learned. Robert Louis
Stevenson.
A Poultry Point.
"Always ask for the right leg of
chicken or turkey," said a chef. "If
the left leg is offered you, refuse It
It will be tough and stringy.
"You see, these birds nearly always
roost on one leg, the left. Hence, that
leg becomes very muscular. The
sinews are like steel.. It is an excel
lent leg from the athletic, but a vile
one from the culinary, point of view
"But the favored right leg remains
tender and juicy. Therefore, as the
advertisements say, ask for and in
sist on getting the right leg."
Proclaims His Feelings.
Without the doctor and my better

would have been an opportunity to
write this, and this reminds, me to say
that, against protestations, I'm pre
pared to say, there is no easement to
to the afflicted and no satisfaction
so intensely Intense as when you are
sick and pain seems unbearable to let
your voice proclaim the feeling. - Stoi

when nature demands the tribute of

HOW HEARING IS AFFECTED
Two Theories as to the Effect of Ar
tillery Practice on Audi
tory Apparatus.
A -writer in a recent number of La
Nature, M. Ghastang, gives some in
teresting facts with regard to artil
lery practice in the French navy, and
shows an inclination to favor the, sup
position, which we do not remember
to have seen mentioned before, that
in many instances injury to the audi
tory apparatus from the discharge of
cannon is really due rather to aspira
tion than to concussion, says a writer
In the New York Medical Journal.
It seems that on the schoolship as
many as from 700 to 1,000 charges are
fired at a seance, presumably in rather
quick succession. Thus an Immense
amount of gas generated by the com
bustion of the powder is produced, .
and this (in some way that does not
appear clear to us) leads to such rare
faction of the air of the deck that it
is suction instead of impact that In
jures the ear. The author finds sup
port for this supposition in the fact
that plugs of cotton inserted into the
auditory canal are often found . to
have been wholly or in part withdrawn
by the firing. . '
He admits, however, that . persons
standing very close to the gun are
Injured by concussion, as has com
monly been supposed. 1
OF MUCH VALUE TO SURGEONS
"Stomach Telescope" Has Been Found
Useful in Almost Endless Va
riety of Ways.
The "stomach telescope," or gastro-
scope, invented at the London hos
pital, has proved to be of the greatest
value In the diagnosis of stomach dis
orders. An eminent surgeon recently
referred in the highest terms to the
advances, lately made at that hospital
in the early detection of diseases of -
the stomach by means of this instru
ment, which will in the immediate fu
ture probably come to be part of the
equipment of every up-to-date hos- :
pital. The gastrosc-roe now enables
the physician or surgeon to actually
see for himself the exact condition of
the whole of the interior of the stom
ach, the slightest ulceration, growth
or other abnormality in the lining
membrane being thus readily observed.
To be able to do this is of the very
greatest importance in suspected can
cer of the stomach, where the only
hope of cure lies in the eradication of
the cancerous growth at the . very
earliest moment. This means that the
increased use of the gastroscope will
in the future save many lives that
would other wise Inevitably be lost
through that disease.
Fine Fox Hunt Without Witnesses.
The East Essex hounds had a re
markable run recently. A fox which,
they had hunted through the village
of Bradwell swam the Blackwater,
and the pack followed, but the .depth
of water and the dangerous banks
prevented the field from crossing.
They had to go for two miles along
the bank until they reached a bridge,
and by the time they had crossed fox
and pack 'had vanished. After a
search of three hours the hounds
were found ten miles from the place
where they had crossed the river
whimpering round a' barn at Chalkey
Wood, beneath which the fox had
gone to earth.
Mr. R. D. Hill, the master, called
the hounds off and gave the fox a
respite for the splendid run he had
given. "The best 50 minutes the
East Essex have had this season,"
was the description of Cockayne, the
huntsman, "although there was no
one riding with the hounds and no
whitness of their performance." Lon
don Evening Standard.
For the Children.
The mother who believes in begin
ning the artistic education of her chil
dren, at the earliest possible moment,
may do a great deal in that direction
with the aid of the nursery walls.
The sides of the room are first pa
pered with some plain neutral color,
then divided into a frieze and panels,
outlined with the darkest shade of
the chosen neutral tint and upon these
subdivisions are pasted brightly col
ored and well-drawn figures of ani
mals and birds, which are to be ob
tained in the form of long sheets of
wall paper, which may easily be cut
out and affixed to the walls. Thus a
young child may not only be taught
much that is essential in regard to
the proper placing of colors and their
composition, but because of the ques
tions which they will be apt to ask
about the animals and birds, will ac
quire a great deal of valuable, Informa
