FOR THE CHILDREN
The Illlnd Child and the Elephnnt.
' To qualify as a teacher of the blind
years of training are required. Both
teaehers anil pupils talk of "seeing"
things. An Intelligent blind person can
go about using the eyes uud descriptive
powers of one trained to the work and
construct perfect mental pictures of
what the one with the great gift of
sight sees, but If the one that the blind
person accompanies be not skilled at
the work the blind person will build
laughably crude mental pictures. With
an untrained escort a little blind girl
went to "see" a circus. Among other
things on exhibition was an olbpliant,
which the attendant described to the
blind child as a monstrous beast, far
bigger than a horse—ln fact, the big
gest of all the animal creations and the
only animal In the world tlint hns a
trunk. When the blind child returned
to her home and told her mother what
she had "seen," she described the ele
phant as about ten or fifteen feet high,
with a tail three yards long, sixteen
legs, eight on each side, and each leg
as big around as a sugar barrel. She
capped the climax by telling about the
animal's trunk, which she conceived
to be a4lteral "Saratoga" trunk, or'big
ger even than that, and which she lo
cated'on the top of the animal's back.
Hovr IIIrd N Drn> Wound.,
Many'birds, particularly those that
are prey for sportsmen, possess the fac
ulty of skillfully dressing wounds.
Some will even set bones, tuklng their
own feathers to form the proper hand
ages. A French naturalist writes that
on a number of occasions he has killed
wookeoeks that were when shot con
valescing from wounds previously re
ceived.
In every Instance he found the old
injury neatly dressed witli down pluck
ed from the stem feathers and skillful
ly arranged over the wound, evidently
by the long beak of the bird. In some
instances a solid plaster was thus form
ed, and in others bandages had been
applied to wounds or broken limbs.
One day'he killed a bird that evident
ly had been severely wounded at some
recent period. The wound was covered
and protected by 11 sort of network of
feathers, which had been plucked by
the bird from Its own body and so ar
ranged as to form a plaster, completely
covering and protecting the wounded
surface. The feathers were fairly net
ted together, passing alternately under
and above each other and forming a
textile fabric of great protective pow
er.—Youth's Chronicle.
The Hawthorn.
On the "Field of the Cloth of Gold"
the hawthorn was planted In honor of
Henry VIII., whose father, Henry VII.,
received the crown of England after
the battle of Bosworth flcld, 1485. The
usurper,• Richard HI,, was killed at
Bosworth, and after the fight his
crown was found hanging on a haw-
Ihorn bush.

' SCHWAB AND LABOR UNIONS 1
Is the Trast Mngnntr n? Menu n Man
as He Would Have ti Believef
ISpccial Correspondence.)
There lie before me us I write a
picture of Charles M. Schwab, presl- '
dent of the United States Steel corpora
tlon, and some statements made by
him about the labor unions and the i
worklngmen. The following Is what
appears:
"The question of organised labor Is
not a question of wages. It is a ques
tion of more vital Importance. It is a
question of administration, of running
your own works in your own way. I
have nothing to do with labor organi
zation, but if I was a workingman, and
I was at one time, 1 would not belong
to a labor organization. They put all
men on the same level.
"If I was a bright, alert, competent
man, I would not be put in the same
class with the poorest man. Organ
i lzed labor means that nq man can ad
vance unless all the others advance."
I used "appears" advisedly in allud
ing to Mr. Schwab's statement because
there is so much more in it than ap
pears in the printed word. Interpreted
according to its spirit, this Is what Mr. j
Schwab says: "If 1 were In a ship- ,
wreck, I would rush for the lifeboat
and leave all the weaker m&i, women
and.children to look out for themselves.
"If I were in the lifeboat and 1 were
: 'bright, alert and competent,' 1 would ;
not consent to an equal division of the i
food; I would take what I wanted and
let the weaker ones take what was
left."
"If I was in a burning building, I
! would force my way out, even if In do
ing s I must trample on women and
j children and wet my feet in their
j hearts' blood."
This is the spirit of what Mr.
| Schwab says, and yet I cannot think
| he knows what manner of spirit he is
i of. It is an old saying that to the
! man wearing green spectacles, every
; thing looks green. To the man wear
ing commercial spectacles everything
bears a commercial appearance. Not
for a moment can I believe that Mr.
Schwab would act, in case of a ship
wreck or a tire, as is indicated by what
he writes he would do as a working
man.
I imagine that his actions, translated
Into words, would be these: "I am
bright, alert and competent. I am not
a pig; I am a man. As such these
men and women are my brothers and
sisters. They may not be bright, alert
and competent. All the more, then,
they need me. I am now a cowardly
brute to seek my own safety and wel
fare regardless of my comrades in
danger. My brightness, alertness and
competence shall be used in their serv
ice. At least I can see that the strong
ones among them do not forget that
they are men and, like beasts, trample
down the weak ones. If I were to
save my life now, while there is hope
of rescue, and leave those to perish
whom I might help, the shame and re
gret of it would Imunt me as long as I
live."
Of course Mr. Schwab would not stop
to reason this all out. Being "bright,
alert and competent," as by implica
tion he says he is. he would act in
stantly, and, not having on his com
mercial glasses, he would act like "a
man and a brother."
Nothing ever showed me the utter in
humanity of our present business con
dition so plainly as Mr. Schwab's opin
ion of the labor unions and the work
lngmen. General Sherman said, "War
is hell." He might have added, "It
makes devils of men." The saying is
just as true of industrial war as of any
other kind.
Whether or not it is true that "or
ganized labor means that no man can
advance unless all the others advance,"
it seems to me quite true that organ
ized labor must come to mean that be
fore it can accomplish any permanent
good. The Knights of Labor struck the
same key when they said, "An Injury to
one is the concern of all." When the
workingmen recognize their unity and
recognize the truth that all the people
should be workers, it will not be long
till workingmen will be emancipated
from wage slavery. All honor to every
"bright, alert and competent" man who
stays by bis comrades and refuses to
be advanced "unless all the others ad
vance."
There is still room for heroism, for
tenderness, for truth and bravery in
this awful class struggle, however
much such qualities may bo derided as
sentimental and unbusinesslike.

The Slavery of Today.
Slavery just as horrible as existed
before the war exists in this so called
land of the free today in West Virgin
la. The poor miners are forced to work
ten hours a day in the bowels of the
earth for a more pittance. I have seen
them when they have come to the sur
face after their day's work was done.
Many of the poor fellows would drop
ffom exhaustion as they stepped out.
Forced to drudge all day, With two or
three biscuits to keep up th ir strength,
they are in worse bondage than were
the colored men. They must live in
tlTe capitalistic dog kennel* owned by
the company; they must buy all their
necessities of life from the company
store and contribute to the support of
a company doctor. Every cent they
earn finds its way back into the hands
of the trust.—Mother Jones.
Growing Unions.
The Brotherhood of Railway Track
men are strengthening their union, hav
ing absorbed the independent Canadian
union, thus bringing the membership
jup to 107,000. The boot workers have
also reached across the border and
I grabbed four unions in Montreal, with
8,000 members; two large unions in St.
| liyacinthe, and In Quebec and Three
i Rivers the same result is expected. ,
