It shows among other things, about how muooch it cost this country, years ending with December, 1886, to support those tive Boards, Wright, was exactly $04,113,796, of which about two-thirds, or sixty in wages, and the balance in losses tu the employers, period named was 1,518 624. ber originating the strikes was 1,029 832, while the whole number after the strikes was 1,636,247, or a loss of 25,708. There were 103,036 new employees engaged af- from other places than those in which the strikes occurred. period. are shown to be as follows: Success fol- lowed in 10,407 cases, or 46.59 per cent of the whole; partial success in 13.45 per cent. followed in 8,910 cases, or nf the whole. 39.89 per cent. either those who strike or 'ock out. The kind as will be seen is very large. es does not afford the true baisis for study of the history of strikes and lock outs. The question to be coosidered is ther side, even in successful cases, these disturbances of the industrial world, Ifevery strike and every lock-out succesafill it would not follow that these violent and unnatural methods of settling industrial and labor differences were the proper and rational methods. A vast amount of loss and injury to the people and the country is occasioned by these labor wara which do not come within the range of a statistical report, and which no one can compute, Amorg these losses and injories we may name loss of confidence in business and com mercial circles, the damages inflicted ap want produced among thousands of belp- leas and innocent persons by the suspen. sion of labor, and the terrorism and bit- terness of feeling occasioned by the op- position of various classes. These things cannot be set down in figures, bat they can be read between the lines of such reporta as are under consideration, The unwritten history and lock outs, the part that cannot be part.

The oats crop is placed at 650,000, bushels, worth $200,000000. The three cereals being good for §1,146,000,000. When to this is added the value of the cotton, cattle, pork and other agricaitural products of the country the som total will reach an amount of which Ameri can farmers will bave a good cause to be proud. The farmer doan’t get rich in a day, but the aggregate value of his pro~ dactions in a given year make a very big sum in dollars and cents, AN I M5 0s WHAT AM ITO DO?

He stood awhile on entering, and reflocted, doubtless. how | any one could be so lost to ail sense of | auctioneer in endeavoring to palm off his | worthless trash to the inexperienced in | city ways as good and valuable, and | finally the auctioneer called out: “Mr, | Beecher, why don’t you bid!

The neighbor kindly consented, and on entering the | “Peter Funk" shop he addressed the auctioneer: i “How is it that you know Henry Ward | Beecher so well as to be able to recognize him in his disguise?” “How do [ know him?

Continued warmth after a bath is one of the best things for the complex. ion that I know of. De you shave your. self?” “No. 1 have a cup sand tools at a down town barber's.” “That’s why your hair is coming out. You have been careful to provide your own cup, soap, lather brush and blades, but how about the hair-brash? did you think to provide that? No! I thought not, The hair-brush should be as tooth- brash. can not provide their own it were wiser for them to dispense with the usual h dressing altogether.
