THE McKinley law is responsible for the strikes. Is it responsible for the strike in the Northeastern ccal region in England? There over 90,- 000 people have been out for two months. This has not only affected the coal miners but some hundreds of thousands of iron workers, blast fur- nacemen, etc. In the Cleveland iron district alone, says the American Manufacturer's correspondent, some 50,000 persons are dependent on pub­ lic charity.

NEW YORK PRESS: At the time when the "tariff reform" administra­ tion of Grover Cleveland was in power strikes were more numerous than they had ever been before. In 1885-1886 there were 12,145 strikes in the United States. From 1881 to 1884, during a Republican adminis­ tration, there had been but 10,159 strikes. Ff&m 1881 to 1885, under Republican rule, 481,009 persons went out on strikes. In the first two years of the Cleveland adminis­ tration the number was t42,149. In New York from 1885 te 1887 there were 5,180 strikes* During the four years preceding there were only 4,067. At the end of one year of Democratic rule of the National Government there "were 153,071 persons in New York out of work on account of strikes. At the end of the first year of the present Republican adminis­ tration (1889-1890) there were only 93,894. The number of strikes In all protected industries during the first year of "MoKinleyism" was less by 200 per cent, than during the first year of the Cleveland administration. These facts speak for themselves. Mr. Cleveland was nomin­ ated in 1884 and was elected by rea­ son of the theft of a large number of votes which had been cast for Ben Butler in New York, he was a resi­ dent of the western part of New York. After his defeat in 1888 he removed to New York City, opened an office in Wall street, and became the hired lawyer of corporations and of gold-bag monopolies. Neither that fact, howeve^ nor his steadily avowed hostility to silver, which he would demonetize if he could, seems to alienate from him the mass of South­ ern and Western Democrats who are clamoring for 67-cent dollars and a one-third confiscation of debts. Are these Democrats honest, or is Cleve­ land dishonest? There roust be some cheating somewhere. If during the war men like Carlisle, Vest, Voor- hees and Turpie had called on their party to nominate Abraham Lincoln no one would have believed them sincere, and the question would have been asked what their game was. When the members from the free silver State of Missouri, when Hatch, Bland, Cockrell, Vest and the rest of them are for the gold monometal­ lism Cleveland, one is Justified in asking what it means, and whether there is any principle or honesty left country, according to the report of the •Comptroller of the Treasury, a debt J in that Democratic organization 1 ©vor" '<#f over $1,900,000,00®, ^'iFhe fact is,! the South, and ^•-ft*#, Tor^wo rfeiltiirlMT'iie world h mm need of electric telegraphic <tWW£itmication and many experi- TUents were made to that end. It was Reserved for Morse, however, to make distant communication possible after many years of toil and study. In 1837 he appealed to Congress for a $30,000 appropriation to practically test his invention. Congress delayed, made inquiries and thought that some system of Semaphores .promised better results. But Morse toiled on, hoped on and after waiting five years finally got his aDpropriation. The bill passed the house by a »vote of 90 to 82. The delegates frem Ilttode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey and Michigan wem the only ones who voted solidly in its favor. Morse men built a pole line between Baltimore and Washington which was opened for public business April 1, 1845. Th<? tariff fixed by the Postmaster General, was lc. for every four char­ acters. The receipts of the line for the first seven days were $3.09. Next a line was attempted between New York and Philadelphia. The capital stock was fixed at $30,000, half that amount to bo jwld in, Cap­ italists were shy, and for some time the solicitors subsisted on cheap lunches paid for out of the meager receipts from curiosity seekers, who were admitted to the office at 25 cents a bead. Stock subscriptions ranged from $100 to $2,750. The sums paid in by several men who, a little later, were telegraph millionaires, were $500 each. Railroads refused rights of way, residents along turnpikes feared witchcraft and with many difficulties lines were erected and maintained. Slender and short poles, No. 14 copper wires, glass bureau- drawer knobs for insulators, were the dependencies in those days. Besides fsequent accidental inte.*ruptious there was much trouble from mali­ cious interference. The rates first established for 10-word messages were, from New York to New Bruns­ wick, 10c; to Philadelphia, 25c.; to Washington, 50c. The New York office for the receipts and delivery of messages was in New York, the op­ erating room in Jersey City. After a year or two of ferriage a line was built up the Hudson to West Point, where it was strum; across the river on high masts and down on the oppo­ site side. An unarmored cable was laid between New iork and Jersey City in 1848, but failed to work, and not until 1856 did the attempts to cable the Hudson Drove successful. The practical utilft> of the electro­ magnetic telegraph and its usefulness in every department of commercial and social affairs quickly became ap­ parent, though for a long while the receipt of a telegram was regarded as a death notice and patrons would believe the enveloped -disgiUbcbes came over the wires. The Invention of an Alphabet. One of the most wonderful linguis­ tic achievements of modem times is that of "The India Cadmus," Sequo­ yah, the inventor of the Cherokee al­ phabet and written language. As the first alphabet and so the fountain of all language is supposed to have originated with Cadmus the Phoeni­ cian, so the first Indian alphabet and the source of written language and literature among the red men of America is traced with absolute cer­ tainty to this famous Cherckee Se­ quoyah. Although scarcely half a century has elapsed since his death, a mist of uncertainty already surrounds his birth and life. But somewhere very jiear the beginning of this century This remarkable personage was born in the Cherokee gatiou and educated in its customs. In fact, he "tiever knew any other than the Cherokee language, which, until he began to record it, was like the other Indian dialect, purely oral. * Sequoyah's grandfather Is said to have been a white man, but there is no evidence of it in the personal ap­ pearance of the grandson. The story goes tbat at a council of Cherokee chiefs in their town of Sauuta, an old reservation east of the Mississippi, there was a debate on the comparative strength and future of the red and white men. The strong­ est argument advanced in favor of the white man was his ability to use the "talking leaf' and so send messages to a distance. Sequoyah listened silently and then burst out as if by an inspiration,-- "You are all idiots! The thing is easy! I aan do it myself." Thereupon he is said to have picked up a liat stone, and with a charred twig from the council fire to have made certain marks upon it, each of which, he told his fellows, repre­ sented a certain word. He also told them that to-morrow, or a month lrom then, he could and would tell them those words without hesitation, as soon as he saw the characters on the stone. From the beginning Sequoyah con­ ceived and perfected the Cherokee al- phabet, utilizing the'cries of wild beasts the call of the mocking bird,, the shrill exclamations of children, the softest tones of the squaws, and the notes of £he rotund organ of the adult brave for his vocal sounda When ne thought he had gathered all the different sounds, he attached to each a pictorial sign or image, birds and beasts and inanimate objects alike furnishing him with signs. > And so the Cherokee alphabet finished, the vocal sounds were IC- duced to writing,and in an incredibly short time the entire Cherokee na­ tion learned and used it There are eighty-five characters in Sequoyah's alphabet, and a news­ paper called tne Advocate is now printed and circulated in that lan­ guage. • There is still a Kossuth purfcj^ in the Hungarian Parliament, composed of white-haired old men They are a band of irrecpncilables. Regularly once a year, when the formal an­ nouncement is made in the House that the King will receive "the Par­ liamentary, delegates at the palace next day, the leader of the Kossuth party rises and gravely asks whether the black and yellow flag will float the palace, and, on receiving a his lonj of mBfkf yetrs ww always e. .a ^%^0ua^^i^stane«V|lK been ^repeatedly offered him by the Italian Government and he might have .had a pension, but he jected such offers with scorn. * Tit to* Tat. ' A '-"green countryman" may some­ times have wits too sharp for city folks, as some of the great noblemen attached to the court of Louis XVIII. of France once discovered. They were looking about the Hotel des In­ valided, or hospitals where disabled veteran soldiers are maintained at expense of the State. There they en­ countered A peasant, who was evi­ dently much interested in what he saw. •'Let us have a little sport with the countryman," said one of the noble­ men. "Wait here while I set him to looking for the headless veteran." He stepped over to the peasant, and entered into a pleasant conversa­ tion with him. He told bim some true things about the Invalides, and added: "You roust not fail to see the head" less veteran." "A veteran without a head?" * "Certainly. He lost it in the last war. Ask any one of those gentle­ men over there, and he will tell vou where the headless soldier maybe found." The countryman approached the group, who were waiting to witness the success of their companion's little game. He bowed and scraped, and then said: "I've been tsld to inquire here for the headless veteran. I should never have believed that any such thing was possible if I didn't see great lords going around here without any brains!". The noblemeh had their laugh,- but it was at their own expense. rrencn- velous which character Kttpld CalanUtogv, Jacques Inaudi, a v< " man 21 years old, is a people of Paris with feats of mental cal surpass anything that- known before of a stm He performs multiplications and divis­ ions of numbers of iweuty-four fig­ ures, and extracts the square and cube roots of numbers with almost incredible rapidity; and an hour after- ward he will repeat every number written upon the blackboard upon which he has been operating. His memory is prodigious, but his mcinomlc powers are exclusively turned toward numerical operations and algebraic problems. The young 'calculator scarcely knows how to read or write, and does not ^interest him­ self in any other pursuit than cal­ culating, which amuses him con­ stantly. His method of multiplying is simple and natural, although different from the cotnmon oue; instead of beginning at the right by units, he multiplies in round numbers of a single figure each, and adds the products. In this way he will multiply two sums of three figures each, in six seconds. While Inaudi's power, like that of a musician who plays "by ear" with­ out knowing a note, has a fascina­ tion. it cannot be reconciled with science, for whose methods and for mulas he has a high disdain. If Ihaudi, however, could be per­ suaded to explain his mode of pro cedure fully and allow it to be published, it-would certainly make a pamphlet well worth reading and pre­ serving as a mathematical curiosity. i upon ||H|M)rld aripifjEH Niag; Falls havepif^feen "ulpj^M." HSi! Is one of thrWkpmintfemts of sci­ ence. The hope was born about fifty years ago that the Niagara water power couM be made useful to the Whole Yankee nation. When it be­ came known that electricity could be made a means for the transmission of mechanical power, and when it was well established that ftiechanical power was easily transmissable into electricity the conclusion was hastily jumped at that a great center like Niagara was also to become the center of industrial power. That a great mistake has been made is proved bv the fact that Niagara and other great waterfalls Still continue in a state of nature, unused by the cunning of man. There is much talk even in this month of 1892 to the same effect, and the newspapers are telling the wonderful things that Niagara Falls arc going to do. The Detroit News thinks it is safe to say that Niagara and all other greater water powers of the world will continue to waste their strength as they have done in the past The hope of a wide dif­ fusion of mechanical power, by means of electricity lies in a fundamental misconception of the "laws of elec­ tricity. The common idea is that electricity's first law is that of run­ ning, as water runs down a hill. On the contrary electricity is as sluggish j as water and has to be forced from ' one place to anether. The common idea is that if you place electricity on a copper wire it will at once start off and never stop until it is intercepted by some uncongenial elements. The majority of peoplo think that if the falls of Niagara would only convert their power into electricity-that elec­ trical energy could .be tapped from Maine to Texas, as if it were a reser­ voir in the clouds. Hot so. Electric­ ity has to be pumped from one place to another by the expenditure of power. " --i . The difficulty of getting electricity from Niagara to New York city is the same as getting water from Cairo to the heart of the Sahara. Theo­ retically both are possible; practically the machinery docs not exist to per­ form the work. An electrical dynamo is a pump. It performs only the work that it has the strength to per­ form. If overstrained it breaks, bursts, or burns out Let us hear no more of the utilization of Niagara Falls for the diffusion of mechanical energy. The thing is impracticable. It takes power to transmit power. When the gun is Invented that can withstand the strain of shooting a bullet around the world tho time will have come to hope for a djnanio that will shoot electricity from Niagara Falls to San Francisco. Penitent Craw. A ©irtespondent sends us a story of a tame crow named Richie, who once showed a feeling oY penitence, or at least a disposition to "make up." He was in the habit of receiving cracker and water from his mistress' window, but sometimes requited the kindness by seizing the tumbler in his bill and hurling it to the ground! At other times he would enter the room unobserved, and commit such havoc as only crows are capable of-- removing the corks from bottles and emptying the contents in perfect tor­ rents over the floor, plucking the pins from the pincushion, and scattering writing materials, letters and bric-a- brac in every direction. One day he entered the window, seized an unused pencil, and before the indignant servant could snatch it away from him, flew off with it to a neighboring tree. His mistress, incensed by this theft refused to recognize him, and .pushed him away from her window when he came for his food- He Hew off, and within five minutes appeared again, bearing in his bill the stolen pencil, bereft of its riSbber end-picce, but otherwise uninjured. He depos­ ited it with all solemnity on the win­ dow-sill, and then bowed and cooed ) in his most captivating manner, evi­ dently begging for a restoration to favor. . Manufacturing Mummies. For years an ingenious sharper in Alexandria, Egypt carried on a lucra­ tive business in manufacturing Egyp­ tian mummies, which he disposed of all over the world. He was the inventor of a scent which gave the mummies the odor of antiquity. The main arti­ cle used in their construction was asses' skins. Curious people noted that while many mummies went out from his place of business, few were seeu *oing in; and one shrewd old lady veu.ared the startling sugges­ tion that his house hadsecretcommu- nication with an old cemetery. This led to an investigation, and the trick* ster is now a convict The Family If troubled with headache, try the simultaneous application of hot wa­ ter to the feet and back of the neck. .

THE man who loves himself better than any one. else in the world is spared all the heart jealousy is father of* The Doctor Confounded. A good story is told of a very revet* end and very dignified master of an English college. Although "the doc­ tor" was a serious man, he was also a kindly one, and when a young man of his college fell ill, did all in his power to procure him good care and the best medical advice Finally the invalid's sister arrived, and as she was young and inexperienced the worthy doctor endeavored, by constant attention, to lighten her load of anxiety. She^waa most grateful and confided to her be­ trothed, who was at a distance, hei desire that only "the doctor," the master of the college, should perform their wedding ceremony. The stu­ dent recovered and was now toaccom- pany his sister home, there to be nursed into vigor again. The doctor was present to say goodby and the young lady • was full of gratitude. "Doctor," said she, grasping l>oth his hands, '"you have been so good to me!" "I have found great pleasure in your acquaintance," said the gen­ tleman. in his most dignified and courteous manner, "You have done so much for me, . but 1 am going to ask one more favor! Will you prom­ ise to marry me!" The doctor, amia­ ble as he was, dropped her hands and started back in horror. "My dear young lady," he stammered.

A most distinguished British au­ thority on the subject of arms and armor, in a paper communicated to the Society of Antiquaries, once gave an amusingly minute explanation of the performance of a mediaeval knight's iron toilet He commenced at the feet, and, proceeding upwards, donned, tirst .his "sabatynes,"or steel clogs, next his greaves, or skin-pieces; next his "cuisses," or thigh-pieces; after those his breeching of mail; fifthly, his "tuillettes," or overlap­ ping hip-plates; sixtly, his.cuirass or breast-plates; seventhly, his "vam- braces," or arm-plates; eightly, his "rere-braces," or coverings for the upper arm; ninthly, be hung his dag­ ger; teuthly, he put on his short sword; eleventhly, he assumed his mantle; twelfthly, he put on his hemlet or "bassinet;" thirteenthly, he grit his long sword about him; fourteenthly, he took up his shield. Thus locked up in steel, he was said to be arrayed "cap-a-pie," or armed at all points either for defence or for defiance. - ^ -i i- i I,IMi hi >• No subject has been more fertile of speculation ^han the origin of lan­ guages. Many maintain that the language spoken by Adam is lost and that the Hebrew, Chaldee, and Arabic are only dialects of the original tongue. Goropius published a 'work in 1580 to prove that Dutch was the language spoken in Paradise. Andre KemD maintained that God spoke to Adam in Swedish, Adam answered in Danish and Eve spoke in French, whilst the Perisians believe three languages to have been spoken in Paradise--Arabic, the most persua­ sive, by the serpent; Persian the most poetic, by Adam aud Eve; and Turk­ ish the most threatening, by the angel Gabriel. .

Thisfe due to the combination of hig:h 'Velocity and small diameter. In war the object is to disable men, and this is often more effectually full!lied by wounding than by killing, because a wounded man at the moment requires one or two men to look after him, while the dead man is for the time lei alone. If the wound, however, is one that hardly makes its existence known, the immediate object may not be an­ swered. A savage especially would despise a wound ot this character. Ii the bullet strikes bone the ^ffect is different because bono splinters ter­ ribly under a blow at a high volocity, but the New York Times says that for what are called flesh wounds the small-bore is "nowhere."

Of course it will be clearly un­ derstood that this is orfty in cases in which the plate is outmatched by the bullet. As the chief objection to the bullet is that it will not do the work of an armor-piercing projectile, that objec­ tion car. stand, says a prominent ordnance authority, and, as the Tweedie bullet possesses almost all of the qualities required, it seems very probable that extensive experiments will be made to prove its superiority to other small-arm bullets in use to­ day- •*!

A collection of old playthings many of which be­ longed to royal children, has just been sold at the Hotel Drouot, and some of the articles fetched prices which even their artistic merit and their strange survival of the vicissi­ tudes would hardly have seemed to merit • Fur instance, a little doll, rather less than a foot high, but clad in a panoply of steel, "armed at all points exactly cap-a-pie," but per­ fectly modelled, and made at the time when Louis XIII sat on the throne of France, sold for 615 franees, and even this price was eclipsed by that given for a tiny set of carriages carved in wood, ana accompanied by little wooden soldiers, made not con- sule Planco, but when Napoleon was First Consul, which brought in nearly 1,000 frances. A miniature kitchen, interesting as being an exact model of that useful household apartment, tempo Louis, XVI, and a little jointed doll, 10 inches high, dressed in a broche silk Watteau dress, fetched 340 frances and 110 frances respectively.

Turpentine is one of the best remedies for scattering boils, and fre­ quent applications will ctme the worst cases. Tincture of iodine is also use­ ful in this respect But it is a ques­ tion among many physicians as to whether boils should not be allowed to come to a head and break. They indicate impurity of blood, and the poison in the system must come out somewhere. If they are scattered by iodine or turpentine some medicine should be taken immediately to purify the blood. In the hospitals now disagreeably painful boils are scattered, and Kochelle salts admin­ istered in regular doses. Many home­ made purifiers are equally as good. For sprains and swellings of all kinds mix a teacupful of turpentine and vinegar, and add to it the 5'olk of an egg. Stir this mixture up thoroughly, and rub thoroughly over the sprain. Veterinary surgeons use this mixture for sprains on horses, but it answer as well for the owner of the horses. Hot Weathe ̂and Longevity.
