Not the Same Genesis.
A German Hebrew professor had five
daughter, whom the students railed
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers
and Deuteronomy. One day the profes
sor began his lecture by saying
"Gentlemen, I wish to apeak to yon
to-dny about the age of Genesis,"
which remark was greeted with a
burst of feet scuffing and a general
mile on the part of the class.
The professor, thinking that his sub
ject was belug appreciated, continued,
with a still flrmer note in bis voire
"Genesis is not bo old as somo of you
suppose."
This was greeted with sttch a burst
of merriment that tho professor had
plenty of time, before it quieted down,
to think what should be his next re
mark. And this, after all, was not so
wide of the matter.
"I may not be thinking of the same
Genesis that you are."

No More Slashing."
It Is a noteworthy fact that tTie rap
idly Increasing number of Dew books,
not of poetry only, at the present hour
Is accompanied by a diminution, not
on Increase, of critical severity. One
would bare supported that at such a
period when, to adn.pt the proverb
of the wood and the trees, one can
hardly see literature for the books
the critical standard would rise; that
the critic would show himself more,
not less, exacting, and would be more
careful. In the Interest of the render,
to emphasize the distinction between
the excellent and the mediocre.
Yet no one can read much of the
current periodical criticism without
noting that It Is rather the opposite
that is happening. While it Is an ob
vious and undeniable fact tlint the
manufacture of books, as distinguish
ed from authorship, exists on an
enormous scale, yet apparently the
average critic becomes more easy to
please, not less, than of old; as If bo
cried In sheer despair to the makers
of books: "Well, If you can't rise to
my standard I must come down to
yours," and hardly six months pass
without some prose romance appear
ing, by some fresh writer, and being
received with such a chorus of wel
come and such hecatombs of praise as
(to borrow Mocaulay'a phrase) would
require some modification If applied
to the masterpieces of Walter Bcott
to "Old Mortality" or "Tho Heart of
Midlothian."
Now, as I have said, no one wishes
for a return of the criticism called
slashing, but whnt I do think the In
telligent reader often sighs for Is some
criticism that mny be called discrim
inating, and if the value of such In
literature of whatever kind Is great,
It Is surely greatest where the liter
ature In question Is poetry, In which
Horace has told us and the cultivated
sense of mankind has ratified his
words "mediocrity Is not admissible."

CAPITAL AND LABOR NOTES
GETTING BACK INTO LINE.
Labor Onranicationa Rsoovsring from
the Disastrous Results of ths
Depression,
"Ons prominent feature of lbs Industrial
situation Is the rapidity with which labor or
ganizations are getting back Into line. Ths
put two years bars been very disastrous to
labor unions, and they have been made to
aton for the sins committed in ths time of
their strength. Ths measure ot arrognnoe
and Injustice which they meted to the em-
Cloyera was meted to them and they wore
rounut to realise the tact that one can not
always safely strike a man when be Is. down.
But if the lesson ot ths past two years has
been learned rightly by labor organizations,
they will rebuild on a mors moderate and
business-like basis and will become stronger
than ever,
"The rush back Into ths ranks of the Amal
gamated Association ot Iron and Steel Work
ers hat been phenomenal. Ol course ths da-urea
showing the Increase are not made publlo
but the number ot branches reorganised and
reinstated during the past few months would,
if mentioned, cause no little surprise. Those
who best understand the Iron aud steel trade
know that the total disruption of this organ
ization would Injure a great many and bene
fit none. The best Interests of the trade are
served by a unitormity la prices, and a guar
antee that existing conditions can not bs
changed in a day. Bines the Iron and steel
worker have been compelled to drop every
thing like united action, tbs employes have
not been clear gaiuers, Armugoments have
been made which In some casts were a posi
tive Injury to the entire trade. Under the
stress of bad times and In the push of busi
ness some employers have shown that tbey
are little behind the old-time trade union in
rnnk Injustice. It is better that labor should
be united in a sensibly conducted union, aad
It Is evident that labor organisations are
again to come to the front Hut whether
they have profited by their reoont experience
remains to bs seen.
SO FAR IT IS WELL
But Workmen Must Remain Patient a
Little While Longer.
In commenting on the movement among
the iron and steel workers In branches, the
American Manufacturer says:
"This movement seems to have come all at
once and it has been something of a surprise
to those who months ago failed to notice the
shadow ol coming events. When the finan
cial depression was at its worst, the Ameri
can Manufacturer, in noting the frequent
wage reductions, expressed the opinion that
a line would soon have to bo drawn on the
cutting process. The necessity lor reducing
cost ot production during such a time was
plain euough, but subsequent events have
shown that such a move may be pushed too
far. The wages of the workmen were cut to
an unreasonable figure, and the profits of ths
employer disappeared entirely iu the effort
to secure and bold trade. Everything was
given to the consumer with but tittle result
other tbun a lessened volume ot trade and
lowering prices. It la estimated that not
only workmen, but a large number of em
ployers alto are favorable to an advance in
wages. The employers who bold that opinion
understand the best interests of all, and know
that too low prices of either labor or pro
duct are an Injury to the entire trade.
The only fear Is that in many lines the
workers will get into feverish haste for
higher rates, and may push things to far as
to Injure tbelr owu prospects. This can
easily be avoided. Labor has been forced
to exercise patience for to long that it should
be able to hold on a while longer. Values
are comlug up throughout the entire country,
and a material advance in the price of labor
Is merely a question ol time. Higher wuges,
higher prices, mora activity and increased
cousumption will drive away the clouds that
have lowered over the business Interest of
the country during the past two years. These
conditions can be roaehed without any con
flict between labor and cnpitul if a little coal
men scute and patience are used.
IKPt'STniAL ITIMS.
At St Helena, Mo., an Iron plant Is toon

ployment to 600 men.
The new plant of the Beavor Tin Flats

are said to be imminent at a number of places

The American Sorew Company hat been
running lit plant but eight hours a day for
tome time past, but has now gone on ten
hours, which t another indication ot a gene
ral Improvement in business. When the de
maud for sorews and similar small ware is
liht it is a aign of dullness in building lines.
Now that orders for screws are numerous,
better times evidently prevail.
Many cotton and woolen milts and manu
facturing enterprises of all kinds started up
during tbs month of April and tha first part
of May, after being idle for long seasons,
while many that ran all winter In certain de

Twenty-five thousand employes of ths
Csrnegls Bteel company, Limited, and asso

cheering Information that from June 1 their
wages would be advanced 10 per cent.
The advance Include all the employes at
the various Cnrnegle works, and Is made not
withstanding the aontractt now existing be
tween the compatiy and Its employes.
The action was unexpected, as It had been
Intimated that tbe compatiy would insist on
the observance ol the contracts entered Into
with ths workmen at the beginning ol tha
year, but the change will bs, nevertheless,
welcomed,
A meeting of the Board of Managers was
held Baturday, at which tbe demauds of the
Edgar Thompson furnace workers for tbe
restoration ol tbe wage seals ot 13'Ji was
given consideration.
At the conclusion of tbe meeting It was
stated that no change of the present wage
rate would be made, but this decision was
reconsidered snd the followlngnotlcrs posted

Tblt notice will tend joy to tbe hearts of
the thousands of workmen nnd their families
who are dependent upon thtt big concern for

HOTICB.
Notwithstanding ths exlat'ng contracts be
tween the Carnegie Hteel co.upany, limited,
and lis employes, fixing the rates of wages
lor 18115, this association hnt decided that the
pretent business outlook will Justify higher
rates, and accordingly take pleasure In noti
fying Its employes ut tbe Edgnr Thompson
Hteel works, Uuquesne Btoel works, Home
stead Bteel works, Lucy furnaces. Keystone
Bridge works, Upper and Lower Union mills,
and Beaver Falls mills, that from June 1,
IHS5, and until further notice the scale rates
paid to all tonnaae nnd turn men will be In
created 10 per cent, : thlt without prejudice
to the 1HUS waget contracts still in force.
Ibis It the most Important and extensive
wage advance made In tbe Iron and steel In
du'tries. The Carnegie company employes
In ths establishments named number about
25,uoo bands, almost every one of whom are
fully employed.
IRON AND STEEL OUTLOOK.
Lifting Power In the Market Applied at
ths Labor End.
The "Iron Trade Review" saysi Trobably
no week of tbs year has dons more to estab
lish a new basis for Iron and steel prices than
the one Just ending. Tbe advance of blast
furnace waxes In the Rhennngo valley nearly
to the 1802 level, with a 10 per cent increase
at several Pittsburg furnaces aonilug in its
train, was followed by the sensational stroke
ot the Carnegie steel company in adding 10
per cent to the pay of all its meu, tbouitb lis
contract with them would continue through
the year the scale fixed January 1, Tbe
pnea thus set will hardly be disregarded
elsewhere, and added laborcost will be made
up by higher prices on product.
Alter tbe resolution bad been adopted a
committee from the convention was scut to
tee a committee of operators, but each side
stuck to its original proposition, and the
conference did not amount to anythliur.
In spite ot repented assertions that ad
vances in the price could only be sustained
by a markod expansion in the di-mnnd for
finished product, tbe mnrkot has been dem
onstrating week by week that the lifting
power is being applied at tbe other end.
Coke workers waxes and coke prices were
were put up In advance ot any improvement
in the market for furnace and foundry
firoduct. The Bessemer ore prices went up
u ndvance of a better pig iron outlook. Now
blast furuace wages have bean Inorensed be
yond anything Immediately warranted In the
mnrkot, and curtain steol works aud rolling
mill workers nt Pittsburg have been given
more pay iu advance of a proportionate mar
ket Improvement.
Even thlt would Indicate that those various
advances liavo been the caute rather than the
result of increased buying of finished mater
ial, and thus the market it gradually coming
luto a coudltion which theoretically should
bava preceded tha various steps to higher
ground. With current pig Iron production
at the rate of 8,000,000 tons a year and stock!
somewhat reducod in April, there it evidence
that iron it going luto cousumption at the
rate of 200 per cent, faster than in '113. Iu the
put week a special cause has helped the
market for Bessemer pig. Buying In the val
leys and at fittsburg for shipment to Chic
ago Iu anticipation of a loug strike brought
the price to C10.75 at valley furnaces.
SEVEN MEN KILLED.
Explosion of a Boiler That Had Been
Condemns!.
The bodies ot eight men, horribly man
gled, scalded and disfigured, were picked
out from tbe rulus of the Feck, Haskeel A

and two of tbe three others have slnoo died.
Those killed werei
Claude Englitb, James Mowers, Eugene

Boll Oridley was Injured Internally and

Two ef the meu, English and Converse, hap

ated In an old BO-homa-powsr boiler, which,
It it reported, bad been condemned by an In
spector a few days before because tbe steam
guano fulled to record accurately the amount
of steam pressure.
Thirteen men were employed In tbe mill.
They wore busy at work when a belt broke,
thutting dowu operations. While it was
being repaired nobody paid auy attention to
the boiler, which wot making steam mean
tlmo at a prodigious rate, for a hot fire bud
boeu kludled under It, It was nobody's
business in particular to tund the boiler, lor
in aawtnllla everybody takes a band at It,
Suddenly there came a boom as of a can
non, followed by a cloud of steum, dust nnd
smoke, which rote high in the air. Four of
tbe victims wtro torn iisnb from limb, and
their romulnt tcattored about tbe mill and
tbe immediate vlclulty. The mill was al
most entirely demolished. Farts of
the holier were blown hundreds of feet. Tbs
victims were horribly mangled, having their

workmen were all married and bad families,

Another surprise In Industrial olroles oc
curred when Jones A Laugbllns, operating
tbe big American Iron works, voluntarily ad
vanoed the wages of all skilled workers 10
per cent. Ths wages of tbe day laborers are
not changed, and remain at 11.20. About
4,000 men will be affected by tbe advance.

ROYAL fiAKINQ POWDER CO., 10 WALL ST., NEW YORK.
TREAD LIKE A CAT.
Excessive Care Exercised by TTsrk
men in Powder Mill,
A devout Mohammedan who re
moves bis shoe before entering a
mosque la hardly more ceremonious
than the every day workman In a
gun powder mill. For gun powder baa
all the attributes of a Jealous and ex
acting deity, and unless It Is t rented
with due deforence It bos a bnblt of
puncturing solid stone walls with the
bodies of Its devotees and making It
self highly uncomfortable In other
ways. Bo when the workman reaches
the mill In tbe morning he stops In a
little vestibule and brushes bis shoes
and clothing with grent care, remov
ing every particle of sand and grit
Usually he wears long rubber boots
that be may tread softly while In tbe
august presence of the gun-powder.
In some of tbe processes he dous a
rubber cap and rubber mittens, and
he Is always exceedingly careful to
leave his pipe and matches at home.
He cannot receive any visitors at the
works, for gun-powder has a partic
ular aversion to strangers and not In
frequently It dlslntegratca and scat
ters a new or pretentious workman
over several acres of ground.
Besides these peculiarities gun-powder
has a distinct aversion to Iron or
steel In any form. No nails or bolts
can be used anywhere In tbe Interior
of tbe building, and the machinery
must all be of copper or gun-metal,
htld together with wooden pegs. Dirt
of any kind, especially grit, Is tabooed.
About half tho time of tbe workmen
is taken up every day In brushing
down the walls of the mill and sweep
ing off tbe floors. A visitor would
think to see them stealing around so
softly and quietly with their brooms
that the place was haunted, but It li
only their way of showing respect to
the gun powder deity.
Tho work Is for tha most part light
and easy, the men receiving from $1.23
to $2 a day. They are necessarily of
a high grade of Intelligence, sober and
Industrious. One heedless or blunder
ing workman might cause horrifying
loss of property and life. At a grent
manufactory near Keokuk, Iowa, the
employes, consisting; of abput forty
families, have organized a llttio com
niune. They have a dub containing a
fine library and billiard and pool tablet
and lounglng-rooms. There Is also a
co-operative store In which ench work
man holds a share, and tho company
guarantees tho bills. It has been emi
nently successful. The discounts fot
cash on tho merchandise bills are saV'
ed and used to purchase new shares
of stock, which are presented to tht
babies of the town In the order of
their birth, thus furnishing a distinct
encouragement to matrimony.
While every precaution Is tnken
against explosions the company al
ways expects more or leas of them,
and the works are usually built In such
a way that they will do as llttio harm
as possible. Yet a prominent dealet
anys that fewer men are killed every
year by all the powder mills In tb
country than meet their death undei
the wheels of railway trains In Chi
cago alone.

There Is good news this morning for
lle-a-beds. Tbe early riser has long
had a bad reputation. As long ago as
the longest word In Llddell and Scott
(as every schoolboy will remember),
early rising was associated with base
tuforrnlng, snd-lltlglotis plnguey char
acters. But now physiology has coma
to the support of prejudice:
'Thyslology," says tho British Medi
cal Journal, "so far ns It has anything;
to say on the subject at all, Is nil
against the early-rising theory. Physi
ological experiment appears to show
that a man does not work best and
fastest In the early morning hours,
but, on the contrary, about midday.
The desire to rise enrly, except In those
trained from youth to outdoor pur
suits, lscotnmonlyaslgn not of strength
of character and vigor of body, but of
advancing age."
Other things being equal, late hours
In the morning are better tlinn early.
But has physiology nothing to any
against late hours at night? West
