I A STRIKE IN PHARAOH'S TIME. | WrtPlnnwn Tfii-lr Griftruncea Thru a* Now. | The earliest strike occurred about | !-!."(> B. C., or upward of thirty-tlireo uturlrs ago. Pharaoh was building | a new temple of Thebes. The masons j received very little cash, but a quan tity of provisions, which the contractor ' thought sufficient, was handed to them en the first day of pach month. Suffi cient or not, they mostly ate it before the time had elapsed. On one occas* \ ion many of them had nothing left quite early In the month, so they inarched to the contractor's house, be fore which they squatted and refused to bulge until justice was done. The contractor persuaded them to lay their distress before Pharaoh, who was about to visit the works, and he gave them a handsome supply of corn, and so an went on well for that mouth. But the same state of things recurred by the middle of the next, and for . some days the men struck work. Vari ous conferences took place, but the men declined to do a stroke until they were given another supply of food. Tliey declared the clerks cheated them, used false weights, and so forth, famil iar enough complaints In this country nuder the truck system. The con tractor not complying with their de mauds they marched to the governor of the city to lay their grievances be fore him, and he tried to get them to return to work by smooth words, but that was no use, and they insisted on having food. At last, to get rid of them, he drew up an order for corn on the public granary, and the strike was at an end.—St. Louis Republican. GEN. JOE WHEELER. A Georgia Friend Telle How He Once Un niMoked a Battery. At the battle of New Hope Church, between Atlanta and Clilckumauga, Gen. Walker sent Major William H. Ross, who was on his staff, to ascer tain from Gen. Wheeler, who occupied an advance position, what was in his front. He found the General on his horse, with one leg over the pommel of the saddle. Saluting him, Major Ross said: "Gen. Walker Intends to make a charge at this point, and would like to know if the enemy has a masked bat tery in front of us." "I don't know. Major," Gen. Wheeler replied, "but I can soon find out," and swinging Into position in his saddle, he galloped up to a slight eminence, accompanied by Major Ross and his staff, and planted a guidon. A mo ment later a puff of smoke in the dis tance and the sputtering shriek of a shell as it flew over them, showed what was ahead. Turning to Major Ross, the General said: "Give Gen. Walker my compli ments, and say there is a masked bat tery In front of us." Major Ross ventured the remark that it was a rather risky way of un masking a battery. "The lirst shots always fly high." was the cool reply. "It's the shots that follow that are dangerous." "When I returned and reported to Gen Walker," said the Major, "I re quested him to send some one else the next time he wished .batteries un masked by Gen. Wheeler."—Macon IGii.i Telegraph. Margaret Fuller's Good Shot. Mrs. Horace Greeley had a strong antipathy to kid gloves, and never wore them on any occasion. One day, it Is said, she met Margaret Fuller on the street, and Instead of greeting her with any usual salutation, she touched Margaret's hand with a shudder, ex claiming: "Skin of a beast! Skin of a beast!" "Why, what do you mean?" asked Margaret, in surprise. "What do you wear'/" "Silk, ' returned Mrs. Greeley, "silk always." Margaret touched her hand and shuddered, saying, "Entrails of a worm! Entrails of a worm!"—Ex th&ngc. WIT AND HUMOR. Mr. Housckeep: "Did yo i ask the now girl why she left her last place?"

No fleet has shelled her ports. There has been no rebellion in any province. Tbe Em peror is its absolute as ever, the organ ization of his Government is quite complete, his counsellors are those he has always trusted, his people arc sub missively loyal, but the life of tbe whole is apparently suspended. Any Bower asks anything and it Is unwil lingly conceded, the energy to offer even passive resistance, to sit still and await the will of the superior Powers. Is apparently absent. The Emperor weeps silently as be signs disgraceful treaties, but he signs them. His coun sellors rage as each demand Is pre sented, but they ndt ise acceptance. His army flits from port to port at the bidding of each foreign invader, ap pnrently without %n idea of llring a shot. His people, 300,000,000 of peas ants and artisans, who have held to gether for 3,000 years, who are indi vidually brave, industrious and effi cient, look on quietly, striking no stroke, making no cry, deserting, yet worshipping their imperial lord. They are beyond measure proud, but'their pride does not stir them to action. They hate the invaders an In dians hated Spaniards, but their hate gives them no energy. They possess resources even for war almost without limit, but they accept passively the dictation of tihe owners of a few ships. They do not even rise In magnlflcent ineohorence as the Peruvians did, and try to crush the invaders by mere num bers, but look on passively as if the terrible scene going on, which makes even the greedy invaders from the out side lament, were no business of theirs. Nothing like it in history, says Mr. Balfour: there Is nothing like it In fiction or in verse, for no imagina tion. once stirred to exert Itself, could dream of such passivity. It seems In credible even to men who know Asia, and make them doubt whether the Im pression on their minds is not a dream from which there will be a rough awakening. China, said M. Ilanotaux", witli the grim humor of the French lit terateur, "is a corpse, the stench of which will poison Europe;" but it is not a corpse, there is the miracle of it. China is a living being, In apparent health, from which the soul has tem porarily departed.—London Spectator. A PLAINSPOKEN DRESSMAKER. H>r lilwnt Rrtiimrkft Not Alwity* XCi\Joyed by llie Patron*. There is a certain dressmaker in a New England village who always finds customers in spite of her lack of tact. Though she innocently offends one patron after another she does not lose them. Her ruffles nre too even, and her biases too far above reproach. Here is a specimen of her conversation while she "fits" a customer. "I guess I'll cut this a little mite lower. Y'ou've got a real pretty neck." Then, when the customer unconscious ly bridles with satisfaction, she adds, "It's your one good point." She goes on snipping and pinning. "There!" she exclaims, standing off to view the effect, "That's what I call a lovely hack. Y'our's is a little bowin', but I make allowances when I cut!" The customer begins to feel herself a mon strosity, but her innocent tormentor continues, "Why, I never saw that dimple in your wrist! How nice that is!" Hope revives, but only to sink again. "But I guess I won't make the sleeves any shorter for that. You see your hands are pretty good size, and a fall of laep would help to cover 'em." So the ordeal continues, and the cus totuer feels that she has reached the lowest notch of humility. Only as she Is leaving does she pluck up cour age to ask,— "What do you think of red velvet for my new evening dress?" "Lovely! Only I'd get a dark velvet for a lady your age!" Anyone Good Knongh for a Klahop. Bishop Lawrence, of Massachusetts, tells a good story on himself and Pres ident Eliot, of Harvard. When Phil- Hps ltrooks was elected Bishop a few years ago, President Eliot met Dr. Lawrence, who was then dean of the Episcopal Theological School, at Cam bridge, and said to him: "The Church has made the greatest mistake of a lifetime. Brooks was the pivot around which we revolved In Boston: now you have spread him all over the State. Any one would have done for Bishop." Years after, when Phillips Brooks had gone to his reward, and Dean Law rence had been chosen in his plnce, he met President Eliot In the street again. The latter was warm in his congratu lations. "My dear Bishop." he said. "I must congratulate you. The Church couldn't have made a better selection. I thought you should have been the choice when Brooks was chosen."— Philadelphia Ledger.

Tlac IllHck Shtu of the Family No Longer Kiigllil® In the Nnvy. •larky, who used to be more sailor than gunner, Is now more gunner than sailor. Just In proportion as he has ceased to be a part of the great en gine on which he lives, so he has come more and more Into the control of it. And as the cardinal purpose of a war ship is to hit things with her pro jectiles. .Tacky has become a specialist in getting that work out of her. He does it iu two places—at the guns and at the engines. Correctly pointed guns are of no use unless the platfonui on which flie.v rest Is put In proper re lation to the thing to be hit, and kept there; equally it Is useless to get the ship Into proper place unless the guns are correctly pointed. Men who can do either of these things must have natural capacities, and be susceptible to education, and only men of this sort are eligible for our navy. Accordingly the "beach-comber," or the "rock-scorpion," or any other va riety of that ruck of marine refuse which drifts around the great mari time ports and ships In any craft where grub is plenty and work light, no longer slings his hammock on Un cle Sam's berth deck, as he used to do to the shame of the service in years gone by. Nor can the tramp, nor the Jail bird, nor even the incorrigible black sheep of the family thus be pro vided for to the relief of constables and long suffering relatives. No man or boy can now pass a United States naval recruiting officer unless he is clean, healthy, honest, youug, strong and intelligent; nor can he afterward get that advancement, which is cer tainly open to him without fear or fa vor, unless he continues to show apti tude and ability.—Park Benjamin In Independence. ASKED FOR A SHIRT, GOT A WIFE. An Incldoi.S of thn Civil War—A Kind Art Keapii Its Reward. The following Is given because of the valuable suggestion it may con tain for our young soldiers. It Is tha story of a clean shirt and how It gain ed one man a good wife. -- During the civil war there was a young lady in Georgetown who found It In her power to do a great deal for the Confederate soldiers con fined in prison at Washington. Young, beautiful, cultured, of a wealthy and prominent family, she was frequently allowed admission to the prison, whith er she always took her maid with a well sto, ked basket of things of the poor boys liehind the bars. One day .as she was passing through a group of men In the common prison, she stopped and said to them: "If (here is anything that you would like to have that I can bring you, won't you let me know? I shali be very glad." One man stepped forward promptly. Bowing most courteously, he said: "If you will be so kind, I would like very much to have a clean shirt." He was a young lieutenant from Louisiana, one of the handsomest and most elegant men I ever met, and when that young lady looked up into his brown fyes she found it in her heart to give him much more than a clean shirt, for she married him as soon as the war was over— Philadel phia Times, An Opportunity Helzml. A certain little girl, living not far from New York, has always had im pressed on her youthful mind—some times at the cost of rather painful ex periences—that it is wrong to cry. She had become firmly convinced that this was a rule without exceptions, when suddenly an exception presented it self. The little girl was astonished, but rose nobly to the occasion, and this is the story thereof as told by a friend of the family: The Tittle girl's baby brother died, and the friend, meeting her soon af terward, sympathized with her re garding the loss. "Yes," snld the child, "and when he died, papa cried and mamma cried. Then I cried a little, too. Mamma said It was right for me to cry this time, because my little brother was dead, so I cried harder and harder; why"— with great earnestness—"l Just cried to beat the band!" Shlpplm; Molten Iron by Unit. Shipping molten iron by rail is a daily stroke of economy to be wit nessed at Duquesne, Pa. The molten iron as it Is tapped from the furnaces runs into an immense mixing ladle having a capacity of 250 tons, and from this it Is poured Into the 20-ton ladle cars, the ladles being made of sheet steel or iron, with a lining of re fraetory material. The ears are then hauled by a locomotive to the steel works, where the direct conversion of the molten iron into open-earth steel is made, avoiding all the expense of casting the metal into pigs and cool ing, handling, reloading, reheating and remeltlng the pig metal.—New York Commercial.

"In time leap year will go out of existence," explained an almanac computer to the Washington Star, "but as it will not occur for over 800 years, we haven't much personal inter est in the event. In the ordinary caurse of events 1900 would be a leap year, but it will get left in the calcula tion. In other words, while it does occur, in does not occur, simply be cause it is not in the agreement that it shall occur. The ' story is a long one, but it can be briefly told so that the average person can understand it without much difficulty. "In 1582, in the arrangement ot the Julian calendar, ten years were dropped so as to get things running on the then new but the present basis of calculating time. So as to keep things running right, it was de termined that a year ending a century should not be bi-sextile, except every fourth century. Thus there was no leap year in 1700, IBCJO nor 1900. It is, or at least was, rather rough on the ladies, who have special advan tages in leap year, for it is the only year that it is proper for them to pro pose themselves in marriage, but as it has always been so in matters con cerning womankind, men always find reasons for restricting their privileges. The ladies get left again in 1900, but though there will not be many of those who see 1900 who will see 2000, the latter year, ending a fourth century, will be a leap year. In this way three days are retrenched in lour centuries, and the remaining seven days will be made up in a little over 800 years. After that calendar years will be like solor years, and future errors in the calculation of time will occur no more "The loss of leap year will in thou sands of years affect the seasons, but I suppose the mathematicians of the centuries hence will be so flip in hand ling figures and making calculations that they will have no difficulty in keeping things going correctly."
