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. VERNONthe GREAT - 1 JkyX , X t - s. Everett V.

He will be at the Oliver The atre five nights next week. Below are a few flattering notices he has receivel from the daily press in the cities he has visited. The wonderful performances of Ver non is of high quality, and convinces the most skeptical that hypnotism has has possibiliies aside from its amus ing features. Topeka Capital.

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, Patriotic.

Now Up to Them to Get in Line and Organize the Craft. Every building trades in Lincoln la organized with the exception of the Sheet Metal Workers. Why do they hold out? They ought to get busy and get in line with their fellow workers. They can count on plenty Huh! It's easy enough to be honest when life flows along like a song, but when you're out of work and the rent Is due and your wife is ill and the chil dren are hungry and you see some thing you want and there's nobody looking and you've got to a point where you don't much care If there Is some one looking, because a warm cell Is as good as a cold pavement- why, then ? Life. 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: "Yoost tage a look at me. Ferst dey mage me constabul, den coroner, und now joostis of de pees. Soon I be ze governair, den senator, den presi dent. I wood be ze long time in Can adaire 'fore dey mage me queen.' Circle Magazine. 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 Eliot. Boisterous Mirth. "What makes you laugh so loudly whenever Bllggins tells a funny otnrv ?" "In self-defense. I want to make so -nuch noise he can't tell another." 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 half 1 have my doubts whether there 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 cism is very noble, to be sure, but when nature demands the tribute of a hearty groan or grunt from a suf ferer she is apt to revenge herself if It is suppressed.

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 tion about natural history.
