Bolton Hull contributed an article to the New York Journal's symposium on "How to Create an Ideal Sunday," in which he said: With relief from the grinding toil I and worry that drive men for relaxa tion to all manner of excesses and with full payment in wages for labor done the workingman may be trusted to create an ideal Sunday for himself. There will be no need for free car rides, free excursions or similar phi lanthropies which serve only to dis tract attention from our social wrongs and to delay the inevitable day of set tlement. "Bread and the circus" did not save Home. Let us be honest. The plans of "reformers," legitimate descendants of the Pharisees, are to "give" the people small parks, to "pro vide" concerts, to "furnish" rational entertainments, to "build" libraries for them, and so on to infinity and to dis gust, and then to restrict and govern the people so that they may do what we want them to do. What the people want of us "upper classes" is to "get >tf tlieir backs," with our laws and our bonds and our taxes and our land rents and our mo nopolies, and so to let them give and provide and furnish and build for themselves all that they need. We ex- j plotters never create one of these ! things. We merely hire the people to ! do them and pay them with money which they have earned, but which we have got. But the people by themselves will never get rid of us. They cannot trust one another, and they do not unite. < Almost the only use of the educated classes today is to teach the ignorant i how to get rid of us and of our regulu- j tlons and to show them how to use their liberty to create ideals for them- I selves. I.iinitutioiiM of NumeM* Union. Those interested in the formation of a nurses and attendants' union have concluded that they cannot enforce their demands in the usual methods of trades unions generally, that of calling a sympathetic strike in case their rules are "not complied with. To ac complish tills tliey would need the co operation of the doctors, druggists and undertakers. First, the doctor would have to refuse to prescribe for the pa tient, and the druggist would have to refuse to compound the prescription. If a nonunion doctor were secured, the undertaker would be compelled to re fuse to handle the remains of the de ceased who had been treated by a doe tor or received medicine from a drug gist who was not in sympathy with the nurses. The whole programme would lie looked upon as inhuman, and the good will of the public would be against the union. Under these circum stances they have concluded that the purpose of the organization will ex tend only for better conditions in a leg islative way in public Institutions, sueli as shorter hours, better pay and more rigid examination for admittance to positions.—Chicago Inter Ocean. The Strike ami the I.aliel. A printer prominent in the Boston Typographical union said recently that the strike was the only effective weap on of labor. lie was wrong even from a printer's point of view. It Is not as a striker that the worker is bowed to, shaken hands with and-smiled at, but as a customer. The customer is the man who owns the shop, and the work ingman is a customer. When he rises in his might as a col lective customer, then will all men call him king.—Union Boot and Shoe Work er. I.nhor Temple For Ronton. Boston is the latest city to consider the project of building a labor temple, and iu all likelihood the workingmcn of that city will have one before long. After agitating the question for sev eral years the Central Labor union has set to work to accomplish the ob ject, and a committee bus been ap pointed to confer with the Building Trades council and report plans for the erection of a bit lld ft ig. I.nlinr War l£x pec ted. A terrific labor war is expected in St. Louis. The building trades demand tliut ail work in their line for the World's fair be done by union men. The con tractors' league has issued its ultima tum. in which it is declared that sym pathetic strikes will not be tolerated and nonunion men will be hired when necessary. (I OS PEL ANI) LABOR. | AUTHOR OF "THE CHRISTIAN" DIS CUSSES THE SOCIAL QUESTION. CliriMt niid the Poor Man—llia Amhu ciutiou With and Sympathy For tlir Toiler*—ill* Teach iiiK'H the HIINIM of Our Soeinl Alcmm nwe. At the opening of the recent indus trial bazaar held under the auspices of ! the United Trades and Labor council of the Huston division of Manchester, England, Hall ('nine, the noted author, ; delivered the following address: How can we doubt that, with its otli- j er and higher aim. the gospel is a great social message? Look at the plain facts. The first of them is that 1.900 years ago a man of the name of ; Jesus Christ, whom all Christendom worships as Hod, was horn poor and humble, when he might have been rich and powerful. His poverty was so great that on one occasion he said, almost with bit terness. "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests, hut the Son of Man hath not where to lay his head." He was a workingman. and i his friends were workingmen, and lie ; walked with the poor and remained i with them to the day of ids death. The next fact is that the opinions of Christ were the opinions natural to a work!ugmun, who saw the strength that poverty gives and the burden which wealth imposes. Need 1 recall the parable of Lazarus to show you that iu Christ's view the possession of riches was a great danger to the hu man soul? Need I remind you that he said it was easier for a camel to go through I the eye of a needle than for a rich I man to enter the kingdom of heaven | to prove that lie had a poor man's opin ions about rich men and that it seems i - as if he could hardly he just to them? j f The final fact is that the prayer j * which we cull the Lord's prayer, the 1 only prayer which Christ taught his ! i people, the prayer into which, pre- ! I sumubly, he gathered up, from what- j ever sources, the whole sum of his I teachings, all his parables and scr- : mons, is a social message of over- '• whelming force. i Look at it clause by clause. It be gins with the words. "Our Father." j Could anything more plainly indicate I the equality of all men? If Hod is j our father, all men are our brothers, ' and the laws which give higher power ! and authority to one man than to an other, which allow one man to govern , for no better reason than that he was j born the eldest son and condemn an- i oilier to serve because lie was horn i . the second son are manifestly contrary to Christ's first principle of the rela- I tion of man to man and man to Hod. The Lord's prayer says, "Give us j this day our daily bread." Could any- : thing indicate more clearly the desire j for relief from economic distress or doom to more absolute condemnation ! the 'laws of land and capital which permit one man to live in boundless | luxury while they require another to linger in the misery of want? The Lord's prayer says, "Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us." Could any thing speak plainer on the true rela tion of man to organized society and j the duty of nation to nation or con- j deinn more absolutely the barbarous methods of settling international dis putes by recourse to arms? Above all the Lord's prayer says, : "Thy kingdom come, thy will he done on earth as it is done in heaven." and surely nothing could more completely discountenance the conduct of the churches, which, recognizing in all ages the frightful injustices of the ex- ! ■ lsting order, have counseled resigna- j tion on the ground Unit the worst evils i of the world, the crying inequalities I of the classes, the awful extravn- I gances of the rich and the fearful prl- j vations of the poor are a part of the divine ordinance and, paradoxically eiipugli, evils only to he remedied in j another and better sphere. Can there he a more direct message to the living world than this message of the gospel? You may call it un- j practical and Utopian and out of liar- j mony with the progress of civilization; j you may say that Christ is an anarch- | ist and that Christianity Is a useless dream, hut you cannot say that the j gospel is not profoundly concerned ; with the social and economic problems j of the world in which we live. The labor programme is a profoundly religious and Christian propaganda, whoever and whatever its leaders may he, and the powers that are against it are profoundly irreligious and pagan whosoever and whatsoever their advo cates are. What is the pagan concept of govern ment? The pagan concept of govern ment is authority, and that alone justi fies the unconstituted rights, the ine qualities, the barbarities and the mis eries that civilization has for 12,000 years been striving to break down. The Christian concept of govern ment is right, and that asserts the val ue of the individual soul, the father hood of Hod, the brotherhood of men j and all that these imply in uniting | mankind into one family. Is there anything in the spirit of the , programme of the labor party which is contrary to this Christian concept of government? Nothing whatever. The labor programme is a religious propaganda and above ull a Christian propagaudn. Dr. Harnaek iu his recent Berlin lec tures says truly that there is hardly anything more pathetic than the nnx- 1 loty of people of the most contrary 1 opinions to rediscover themselves and their own point of view In Jesus, Christ so as to get a share of him and i to claim him. or a little bit of him, for j their own. But surely it is not going | far to say that if Jesus were In our j midst today he would, as Haruack JQ S'SH X LAXAKOLA NO ONE BUT A MOTHER ""^uTaTeVr.^Tn l^ lep gift'* to an ailing, tcothiui;, feverish, colicky, frctiy infant. Almost distracted by its constant crying l , and worn out with weary, anxious care and watching, she tries everything possible to obtain even relief for the little sufferer. With what comfort and delight she sees her little one drop off into a deep peaceful health-giving slumber, after its little clogged bowels are cleared of their poisonous burden by a single dose of Laxakola, the great tonic laxative and mother's remedy. Lazakola is a pure, gentle and painless liquid laxative, and contains valuable tonic proj>ertits which not only act upon the bowels, but tone up the entire system and purify the blood. A few drojis can be given with safety to very young babies, which will often relieve colic by exi>olling the wind and gas that cause it. Great relief fs ex perienced when administered to young children suffering from diarrlnea, accompanied with white or green evacuations, as it neutralizes the acidity of the bowels and carries • out the cause of the fermentation. LAXAKOLA will aid digestion, relieve restlessness, assist nature, and induce sleep. For constipation, simple fevers, coated tongue, or any infantile troubles arising from a disordered condition of the stomach it is invaluuble. I.axaku',a. the great tonk laxative.

The labor party may feel sure that they are holding up the Christian ban ner and are waging, whatever the world or even the churches may suy, a religious, not an irreligious, war. Let the churches call it socialism il' tlicy like; it is Christianity as well. Let us adhere to this claim no mat ter what opposition we meet with. Whatever they call its—Democrats, so cialists, even anarchists if they please —let us continue to claim the gospel for our charter and the teaching of Christ sis the laisis of our social liies- | sage. With this message, as it expresses it- ' self from time to time in the problems i we are called to consider, let us meet , all our difficulties, knowing that our appeal is to the conscience of man, , that the conscience of man is the true expression of the divine and that soon er or later in Cod's time the divine j must prevail. familiarity Aid* Slight. The exceptional powers of vision at tributed to uncivilized men and to civ- j ilized men who pass their lives in the > open air, supposing they exist, are eas- 1 ily explained. They are only mani fested while looking at familiar things which the supposed possessors of such , sight have been long trained to see. The shepherd distinguishes sheep , where the town dweller sees nothing, because the one is accustomed to the place and objects and the other not. The herdsman distinguishes cattle and the huntsman his prey because they are practiced and see little differences which perhaps they cannot describe, but which they perceive almost uncon sciously. The sailor and the longshore man detect what the visitor fails to Bee out on the horizon and will tell you of the peculiarities of rigging which enable them to distinguish one boat from another. Of course they are used to these tilings and undoubtedly see more and also guess more than the casual ob server, for In my experience they are not seldom wrong.—Popular Astrono my. Monkeys as Coin Testers. It is said that the great ape of Siam is in great request among the Siamese . merchants us cashiers in their count ing houses. Vast quantities of base i coins are known to be in circulation in Siam, and no living human can dis criminate between the good and bsul coinage with as much accuracy as these apes. Those monkey cashiers possess the faculty of distinguishing Ihe rude Siamese counterfeits in such an extraordinary degree that no traiu ed banker can compete with them in their unique avocation. In plying his trade the ape cashier meditatively puts each coin presented to him In bis mouth and tests it with grave deliberation. From two to five j seconds is nil the time this intelligent animal requires in making up ids de cision. If the coin is all right, it is ! carefully deposited in the proper recep tacle; if base, it is thrown violently to the floor, while the coin tester makes known his displeasure at being pre sented with the counterfeit by giving vent to much angry chatter. Seventy Yearn a Cnion Man.

Well Preserved. The man who essays to give a lecture or talk in the "slums" must have his wits well In hand. He may encounter apathy, but lie is sure also to find an embarrassing readiness of tongue. I An earnest young man from a college settlement was addressing a company of fathers and mothers on the subject of "Christmas In the Home," telling them of ways in which the day might be made bright although money was scarce. He had visited many bouses in many cities and was well informed. "Pin not talking about what other people have told me," he said genially, j "It's what I know from my personal experience. I have seen over a hun dred Christinas celebrations and"— "Man, dear," came in a rich Irish American voice from the rear of the room, "it's wonderfully preserved ye are for a man that old!"

' The passage of a Confederate bill as money is not a violation of the statute of the United States which makes It an offense for any person, except un der authority of u proper officer, to have in his possession any obligation or other security engraved and printed after the similitude of any obligation or other security issued under the au ! tliority of the United States, with in | tent to sell or otherwise use the same, but to constitute a violation of such ; provision the instrument used must In its inception have been intended to simulate some obligation or security of the Uuited States.

A story once went the rounds in Paris that an enterprising visitor to M. Consturis proposed to pick a quarrel with M. Rochefort and kill him. "Many thanks." sjiid Constans, "but I do my own murders." The retort found its way to Constan tinople. and when M. Constans arrived there as French embassador he. was struck by the exaggerated deference of the Turkish officials from Armenia. A man who did his own murders him self was a remarkable figure to ad ministrators who employed the Kurds for that necessary business. >1 in Choice. "What would you like to be when you grow up?" asked an old gentle man. "I'd like to be a bricklayer," replied the boy. "That's a commendable ambition Why would you like to be a brick i layer?" "'Cause there's so many days when bricklayers can't work." A Good !lnrg;afn. "Rut why." asked the president of the country whore women ruled, "did you buy that battleship?" "It was such a bargain." replied the secretary of the navy.
