TREY DISTRUST THE TROOPS.
The Strikers Awakening to the Meaning
• of Their Presence,
First They Were Cordial to the Bluecoated
Vistors toUoIsLestead, Now They are Not
Even Friendly.
The execution of f urther plans for the re-
establishment of vested rights, and for the
operation of processes of law at Homeetead
has been delayed by the committee of in-
vestigation front Congress, which has de-
manded the presence of men who otherwise
would have directed important events at
Homestead.
No man could read the patriotic words
whieh come by every mail to the Carnegie
headquarters without being solemnly ira-
presssed by the stupendous importance of
the present crisis. And let no one think
that the man in charge of the Carnegie in-
terests is blind to the significance of the
struggle.
H. C. Frick le a. just man and a determin-
ed one. He realizes completely the nature
of the vast responsibility that is upon him.
There will be no vacillation, no weakening
in the policy he is following. He will keep
right OD, in a straight open course. He has,
and will continue to have, the entire sup-
port of his principals. He will meet appall-
ing obstacles in the great task he has under-
taken. He expects them, but his policy
will be uechanged to the end, come what
may. It will be, it already is a mighty
struggle. No panorama, of war itself pre.
sents more thrilling and dramatic situations
than are already in view. As it continues
to unroll, picturee worthy the attention of
the nation will he disclosed.
Peace now reigns at Homestead, but it is
peace at the cannon's mouth. There is mur-
der yet in the hearts of the people. "1
would like to put a bullet through you,"
hissed a striker into the ear of a newspaper
man who had advised a stranger to refuse
to ,newer an uqauthorized demand for his
name and business this afternoon.
There was more of this arrogant interfer-
ence with personal rights all over the town
to -day, and few dared resent it. The Com-
mander of the National Guard said he
would arrest any one who attempted to as-
sume the power of the mob again in this
way, but nobody cared to act as complain.
ant in ouch a case.
The plans for reopening the Homstead
mills, and for reducing the strikers to a
more complete subjection to the law for obs
vious reasons will not be made public in
advence, It can only be said in general
terms that deaisive action will be taken
very soon. No violence is apprehended in
connection with the threatened strike in
the Pitteburgh mills to -morrow.
The men are intelligent and naturally
lawbiding. Their sympathies are strongly
enlisted in behalfof their Homestead breth-
ren, and. they realize that they aro making
a great sacrifice in going on strike merely out
of sympathy. They know that there are
very few sympathy strikes on -record that
ever succeeded. They nutnber about 3,500.
At the Braddock mills, opposite Home-
stead, there are more than a thousand, and
they are said to be ready to take similar
action. There are iu all the Carnegie mills
about 23,000 men, but a considerable pro-
portion of this number the company believes
cannot possibly be induced to strike.
President Weihe of the Amalganusted As -
sedation refused to say to -day what would
be the attitude of his organization in the
matter of a general sympathetic strike.
The Homestead atrikers aro basing some
hopes on the possibility of the railroad men
refusing to handle the product of the mills
there if turned out by non-union menuncler
military protection.
Gen. Snowden said to -day that ha thought
the troops would be kept at Homestead
about two weeks. No one at all acquainted
with the temper of the strikers believes that
it would be possible to peacefully operate
the mills at the end of that period without
every strong armed force for the protection
of the inen. There is no chance of the mon
weakening at present because of lack of
DMUS
Their own and kindred organizations will
gladly supply them with all the money they
need for a long fight. If an appeal for phy-
sical assistance should be sent out, the in-
dicationeare that there would be an equally
prompt and effective response if the tenor
of the offers which for a week have been
pouring in means anything at all.
The feelings of the strikers toward the
troops are rapidly changing. They are no
longer cordial. They are not even friendly.
HISTORIC DUGS,
One Brave Animal That Recovered a Flag
at Austerlitz.
A French paper has published a roll of
honor of celebrated dogs which have distin-
guished themselves in war. This is not in-
appropriate considering that the dog has
been pressed into military service, For in-
stance, there was Bob, the mastiff of the
Grenadier Guards, which made the Crimean
campaign with that gallant corps; and also
Whitepaw, " Patte Blanche,' a brave
French ally of Bob, that made the same
campaign with the One Hundred and Six-
teenth of the line, and was wounded in de-
fending the flag.
Another, Moustache, was entered on the
strength of his regiment as entitled to a
grenadier's rations. The barber of his com-
pany had orders to clip and comb him once
a week. This gallant animal received a
bayonet thrust at Marengo and recovered a
flag at Austerlitz. Marshal .Lannes had
Moustache decorated with a medal attach-
ed to his neck by a red ribbon. Corps de
Garde, a Norvel among dogs, followed a
soldier to Marengo, was wounded at Aus-
terlitz and perished in the retreat from Rus-
sia. The Sixth of the Guard hada military;
mastiff named Miser°, which wore three
white stripes sewn on his black hair. We
have also to name Pompon, of the Forty-
eighth Bedouins, the best sentry of the bag-
gage train; Loutoute, a Crimean heroine;
Mittrailli, killed at Inkerman by a shell;
Moilino, that saved his master in 'Russia;
and was lost or lose himself, but found his
way along from Moscow to Milan, his first
dwelling -place. The most remarkable, how-
ever, was the last, anEn glish harrier named
Mustapha, which went into action with his
English comrades in Fontenoy, and, we Are
seriously told, "remained alone by a field -
pine after the death of the gunner, his
master, clapped the match to the touch-
hole of the cannon and thus killed. seventy
soldiers," and it is further added that Mus-
tapha was presented to King Georgen and
rewarded with a pension alimentam.
The offerings at' the annual sale of
throughbred yearlings bred by the Queen
numbered eighteen, none of them of a very
high class. The amount realised was
guineas, an average •of a little less than
293 gum• eas each. The higest price was
1300 guineas for a filly by Minting -
Gallantry.
.VJTNA'S TERRORS.
Threatening the Village or Nicolisi-The
Eruptions Increasing in Volume.
A Catania, despatch says :--The situa-
tion at Mount Etna is steadily growing
worse. The main crater is gradually extend-
ing, and the inass of hot ashes lava and
scoria which it is vomiting is increasing in
volume and violence. Showers of firey stones,
many of them of huge size, and molted
matter are sometimes prOjected into the air
to a height of 1,000 feet, and dense clouds
of sinoke and ashes hover continually over
the crater. Two new cones, each about SOO
feet high, have been formed, and. from these
streams of lava are constantly flowing. The
lava is advancing in a threatening manner
in the direction of Nicolisi, a village of 2,-
700 inhabitants, situated on the southern
slope of Mount Etna, nine miles from Cata-
nia. The streana is DOW only two miles dis-
tant from the village.
A DENSE SMOKE HIDES Tun ()RATERS.
The immensa columns of smoke and ashes
which are hovering over the burning mount,
have grown so dense as to cover everything
in the vicinity with a mantel of darkness
and the craters are now invisible. The
largest craters are still ejecting immense
masses of boiling lava, the streams of which
are steadily growing wider and are as steadi-
ly creeping with terrible persistency, foot
by foot, upon certain of the villages lying
on the mountain slopes.
VENATURA PARTIALLY DESTROYED.
later despatch says :-Enormous incan-
descent rocks and immense clouds of steam
continue to be thrown out of the crater of
Mount Etna. Part of the village of Vena -
tura has been destroyed by lava, and an im-
mense amount of damage been done to
neighborieg chestnut woods. CoMMittees
of citizens are being formed to relieve the
sufferers.
Pleasant Perfumes,
A bit of perfumed wadding, a trifle of rib-
bon, silk, or even cheese -cloth, is easily
made up into a satohet bag, and these may
be placed wherever there are things to be
sweetened, taking care not to make the fra-
grance too common. For the box, desk or
drawer where stationery is kept, there
should be a liberal allowance of the perfume.
A delica tely sweetened letter always gives
en added pleasure to the recipient, But
strong perfumes are offensive and out of
taste. The wholesome, clean and delicate
odors of the lavender flower, "strawberry,"
spruce, and the fine blooms of sweet, white
clover, which are found in some parts of our
country, are quite sufficient, if carefully
gathered and distributed in proper quanti-
ties, to make a generous supply of delicate
perfume for the household linen, wardrobe
and toilets of the farmer's wife a.nd daughter.
Pleasant perfumes will not abide with un-
wholesome ones. This is true of one'sprop-
erty or person. No perfume at all is much
more desirable than either a strong or a
common one. But the orris -root can be
safely recommended, if used in the right
way, for its delicacy, permanency and
sweetness.
--
Rest.
How differently men and women indulge
themselves in what is called a resting pall 1
"1 guess I'll sit down and mend these
stockings, and rest awhile," says the wife,
but her husband throws himself upon the
easy lounge, or sits back in his arm -chair,
with hands at rest, and feet placed horizon-
tally upon another chair. The result is,
that his whole body gains full benefit of the
half hour he allows himself from work, and
the wife only receives that indirect help
which comes from change of occupation.
A physinian would tell her that taking
even ton minutes' rest in horizontal posi-
tion, as a change from sitting or standing
at work, would prove more beneficial to her
than any of her makeshifts at resting. Busy
women have a habit of keeping on their
feet just as long as they can, in spite of
beckauhea and warning pains. As they grow
older they see the folly of permitting such
drafts upon their strength, and learn to
take things easier, let what will happen.
They sly, "I used to thiuk I must do thus
and so, but I've grown wiser, and
earned to slight things." The first years of
housekeeping are truly the hardest for, un-
tried and uufamiliar cares are almost daily
thrust upon the mother and home -maker.
Canary Diseases and Moulting.
The cause of most of the canary diseases
is a cold, and this is generally brought on by
hanging the bird in a very hot room or in a
draught of air caused by an open door or
window. For this cold give a paste made
of hard-boiled egg and one pulverized crack-
er, mixed together without water. Salt
pork cut into small pieces, sprinkled with
red pepper, is also very good as a cure.
If the bird breathes hard, caused by an
over -loaded stomach, give plantain and rape-
seed, moistened with water, as the sole
food.
For diarrhoea, a rusty nail placed in the
drinking cup, or common chalk fastened
between the wires, with some broken pieces
scattered through the gravel, is excellent.
Costiveness is brought on by lack of some-
thing green, so give sweet apple, chickweed,
or any green food.
If your bird should have sore feet, wash
them in warm -water, to which are added a
few drops of arnica. Give him plenty of
gravel to walk on, and keep his perches
clean. The sore feet result from too small
perches; they should be half an inch in
diameter.
Canaries shed their feathers mostly in
September or October. They then need
:special care and should be kept in a warm
place out of draughts. If the tail and wing
feathers seem difficult for the bird to drop,
pull them out one at a time. Your bird will
fully moult m from four to six weeks.
The man with the most faults grieves at
his neighbor's one little shortcoming.
A favorite dish of the East Indies is an
ant mash. The insects are caught in pits
and mashed by handfuls like raisins.
The Pope Manufacturing Company have
just finished and sent to Boston a bicycle
whose use, if it proves as successful as it
seems likely to do, will open a new field for
the work a,nd availability of the silent steed.
The wheel, which is being. tested by the
Boston Fire Department, is to carry a fire
extinguisher. A ladies' wheel frame is
used, and the extinguisher, designed to
carry two gallons of fluid, is hung so that
the weight is'evenly divided between the
to wheels and out of the way of the rider.
A twist of the hand disengages the extin
guisher, and in a moment the stream of gas
generating fluid is turned upon the flames.
The extinguisher adds about 25 pounds to
the weight of the wheel. The idea is, that
upon a still or other alarm'a fireman with
an extinguisher can be on the scene some
minutes before the regular apparatus CAD
arrive, and often a threatening blaze can be
put out or held in check. '

Watts: "Did Bingley ever accomplish

Featherstone: "Then I travel."
Signs That Her Husband Was Failing.
"You are not so strong as you used to be,
John," said a fond wife to her husband. "I
think it is about time you were getting some
insurance on your life."
" Insurance on my life What are you
talking about ? I am as healthy as ever I
was. Insurance indeed 1"
"Well, dear, I only mentioned it, you
know, oat of respect for yourself. I thought
you were failing.'
"And what in the world put it into your
head that I am failing? Me failing? Why,
I am as strong as a horse, and can run up
three flights of stairs without taking a
breath.'
"Well, that may be so but I am afraid
you are deceiving yourself:"
"Deceiving myself ! Goodness gracious,
woman, what do you mean ?"
" Don't be so itnpatient. What makes
me think you are failing is this: When
you were courting me you could hold me on
your knee three hours ; nowyou cannot hold
the baby on your lap three minutes."
Well Pitched,
A Scotchman who was mcuuted ou a
donkey had to travel over a rather rough
piece of country in Australia. After a
while he came to a wide ditch which the
donkey refused to cross,
Turning back a few yards he urged the
donkey into a gallop, thinking the donkey
would jump across. Instead of jumping
across the annnal stopped suddenly, throw-
ing Sandy over its head with such force
that he landed on the other side of the ditch.
Gathering himself up, he looked at the
donkey a moment or two, and then eaid:
"Weel, weel, that's very well pitched f but
how are you going to get over yerself 1"
He Couldn't 'Understand It,
Some little time ago a clergyman, who
had not been long in Bolton, had occasion
to pay a visit zo an outlying farm, and in
returnitig he completely lost his way.
Whilst he was endeavouring to find the
right road, be met a farmer's boy who was
also bound for Bolton, and who, although
extremely astonished at such ignorance,
volunteered to show him the way.
As they walked along, the clergyman ask-
ed, the boy what his occupation was.
The lad told him and then inquired, "An
whad does ta do, owd mon ?"
" Oh, " replied the clergyman, "it is my
duty to show mon the way to heaven,"
Eh, gerrout wi' thee," exclaimed the
boy with a knowing wink; " abeawt thee
showing foalks tit' way t" eav'n ' don't
lsuaw t' rowd to Bowton 1"
Disastrous Results of Vaceination.
A doctor was scouring the slums in the
interests of the health department. Things
went on smoothly until he encountered a
suspicious -looking Irish woman, who dwelt
with her shock -headed children in the lord-
ly heights of the seventh fleor.
The doctor pounced upon the eldest boy,
and was about to make the iuitial scratch
of vaccination, when his mother stopped
him.
"Is it vaccinatin ' that is ?" she queried.
"Yes,madam, " answered the doctor.
"Well, it's not a bit av it ye'll do to my
bye Dennis."
" Why, it proves life and health ancl-"
"Go 'long wid ye 1 That's what they
told Doony McCann when his bye Willie
had it two weeks ago."
" Well? "
"They desaved him, vaccinatin' an' all.
Willie is dead. Lord rist his sowl 1"
"What killed him ? "
"He fell down the back slitairs at Bro-
nan's and broke his neck ; an' be th'-sham-

Beneath the trees was swinging low
A ha.mmeck in the shade.
And seated there a college youth,
Near by his side a maid.
The trees swung down protecting limbs,
'Twas surely not amiss,
Since no one was in sight, he thought,
To try and steal a kiss.
The maiden, blushing, murmured
And watched the gay leaves drop.
Mischievously he asked, "Don't what ?"
"Why, doe't," she said, " don't stop 1"

Got What he Wanted.
There was a young man named Michael,
Who thought he could ride a bicycle;
But the headers, you know,
Disgusted him so
That he gave up this tricky vehicle.
Said he, "Of these headers I'm chary,
And must have me a wheel that will carry
Me safe over stumps,
Bricks, boulders, and bumps ;"
So now on a safety he'll tarry.

"In may last, my youngest child,
fourteen months old, began to have sores
gather on its head and. body. We ap-
plied various simple remedies -without
avail. The sores increased in number
and discharged copiously. A Physician
was Called, but the sores continued to
multiply until in a few months they
nearly covered the child's head and body.
At last we began the use of Ayer's Sar-
saparilla. In a few clays a marked
change for the better was manifest. The
sores assumed a more healthy condition,
the discharges were gradually dimin-
ished, and finally ceased altogether.
The child is livelier, its skin is fresher
and its appetite better than we have ob..
served for montlis."..--Frank M. Griffin,,
