IN MR. GLADSTONE’S TIME.
some of the Things Uncle Sam Has Ac
1- 1: mullshed in Sixty Years.
Mr. Gladstone made a speech at the’ .
opening of a new bridge over the five
Dee, and reviewed in an interesting
way one of the changes of a century
with which his life has been almost
coincident. It (has been an age. he
said, which has greatly busied itself
and improving the com-
munications of different portions of a
country and of all countries. In his
boyhood the whole, of what was sent
by mail from Liverpool to London in
great mass of mail matter is exchanged
between the two cities at largely re-
duced rates, at twenty times the pace,
and the telegraph and telephone lines
are kept busy in addition. The tele-
phone, Mr, Gladstone said, even con-
veyed the voice as well as the message,
and it might be that many persons
new young would see in their time de-
velopments and fresh changes not less
astonishing and beneficial than those
he had witnessed.
Mr. Gladstone confined his remarks
to the subject of improved. corriniunica-
tion; and it is to be regretted that he
. could not have covered the whole field
from his point of observation. ‘\ The
record in the United States will indie
cate the great changes originated by
our own people. It is just 100 years
ago since a New Jersey man produced
the first cast-iron plow, and ninety
years sonce Fulton’s first steamboat
accomplished its first trip. In 1820 an-
thracite coal was first used for gen-'
erating steam, and it was not applied
to blast furnaces until 1840. Our first
locomotive was imported from Eng-'
land in 1829, and now we have over
182,500 miles of steam railroad, ex-
ceeding that of all Europe by 20,000
miles. The first telegraph line in this
country was opened for business in
1845, the first cablegram was sent to
Europe in 1858, the first telephone line
was operated in 1877, and the first trol-
ley street car line was opened in Rich-
mond, Va., at a later date, but a capi-
tal of $75,000,000 is now invested in
trolley roads and other electric enter-
prises. A new steam craft built in
this country made thirty-eight miles
an hour on her trial trip the other day.
Electricity has been successfully ap1
plied to steam railroads, and if the
track could be sufficiently well guard-
ed a speed of 100 miles an hour would
be easy.
In saying that the coming century
may witness changes as remarkable
as those of his own- era Mr. Gladstone
speaks conservatively. The new
things will probably surpass the old.
but no 'mind can foresee what they
will be. It is gratifying to have from
the old statesman an assurance that
the modern facilities of locomotion
give a moral as well as material bene-
fit. The better mankind know each
other, he argued, the better they
should understand their station in
life, “the more they should know how
to make allowance for each other, and
the more they should know how to
comprehend the great business and the
great science of life.” These are the
words of a wise old optimist, whose
glance covers the world in the onward
movement of its- inter-relations.

THE CO-OPERATIVE IDEA.
It Always Afl'ords a Seductive Theory to
Rainbow Chasers.
The Debs movement to establish a
co-operative community has consider-
able encouragement of a sentimental
kind. A great many people would
like to see another 'trial of the idea.
more comprehensive than heretofore
made, hoping that it might disclose
some relief from the wastes and sav-
agery which they see in competition.
Others, without faith in the outcome,
will be pleased to have Mr. Debs, Mr.
Bellamy, Mr. Lloyd and Prof Herron
cease telling what others ought to’ do
for the amelioration of society and go
to work thems 1lves on a definite plan
for its reconst1uct10n. Certainly no—
body can object to the experiment, but
on the contrary everybody will wish
it success. and take a. lively interest
If the capitalists
are indeed absorbing such an exorbi«
taut share of the products of industry
as these leade1s think, a great saving
is possible through co- operation. No
argument has the force of a demon-
stration, and if they will organize a
community in which an hon-est man.
willing to work, can get more comforts
for his labor than he can outside of it,
they will easily convert the whole
country to their views.
Co-opcration, however, is not a new
thing in the world. A great many
people not so belligerent as these gen-
tlemen, have preached it as a remedy
for the troubles between capital and
labor. It has been tried in single in-
dustries and in the buying and selling
of goods, innumerable times. There
is not a community in the United
States where the idea of co—operation.
or partnership, among workers is not
in a greater or less degree being acted
UPOD- Among men of equal earning
power, equal resources, and, therefore,
equal ability to stand losses, the most
natural form of association in a com-
mon enterprise is that of equal. shares
in profits and losses. But men are not
equal in earning power, in foresight,
in courage, in resolution, in power of
application or self-denial, or in any oth-
er element which enters into capacity
to do things. And for this reason co-
operation, although suggested by
natural impulse, open to all and famil-
iar to all, has never spread by the
force of its results from small under-
takings to general acceptance, after
the manner in which sound principles
usually establish themselves.
A simple and efiective preventive for
flies is the presence of sweet clover in
a room. Flies have an especial objec-
tion to the plant, and quickly“ make
their escape from any-place in which
it is kept. _

A TOOTHBRUSH FOR KOKO.
Costly Toilet Articles Purchased by' Rich
Girls for their Pet Dogs.
A score or more of dainty toilet arti-
cles, gold mounted and jeweled, were
scattered over the glass counter, and
the obliging clerk in the fashionable
shop was vainly endeavoring to satis-
fy the whims of a daughter 0f wealth,
who had every appearance of having
been spoiled by overindulgence. She
had a costly toothbrush in her hand,
and was poking the other articles with
it in a dissatisfied way. “This is not
small enough,” she said, “and the hair
is not fine enough.”
I “ltlis our very best grade of goods,”
suggested the clerk, half 'apologetical-
ly. '
“Then you ought to get something
better. Yes, really, you ought,” ex-’
claimed the willful customer.
“I can't
take such a clumsy toothbrush as that
home to my Koko.”
“Ah!” mumured the clerk, with a
scarcely perceptible air of impatience,
“then you want a toothbrush for your
, dog.”
“Yes, of .course I do, and I want
something very soft and very dainty,"
replied the young woman, and, after
a pause. she added, with an affection-7
ate purr, “there isn’t anything too
nice for my Koko.”
“Certainly not,” responded the clerk,
with a cordial smile. “Here are some
brushes of rare quality. I had over-
looked them. Here is one with hair
as soft as silk, and a handle of solid
gold.” The girl fondled theexpensive
trinket for a moment, and, without
asking the price, said: “That will do,
have it sent with the other things,
please." When this spoiled maiden’s
father gets a bill from the fashionable
jeweler’s he will doubtless be moved
to emotion by the entry: “One tooth-
rush for dog, $22.50.”
It is no uncommon thing for shop-
keepers in New York to be called upon
to supply toilet articles for dogs, mon-
keys, birds, and other domestic pets.
Some stores maintain special lines of
combs and brushes for pet dogs, and as
a special concession to the enthusiasm
of the fair owners of these pets, the
p11 ‘es of dog combs and brushes are
kept aristocmaticallv high.
HER RING STRANGELY RECOVERED.
Found on the Hand of an Organ Grinder—
A Dog Responsible for the loss.
Mrs. Reba Bryn. of North Twenty-
first street, some time ago, while tray-
eling through Southern Italy, lost a
leather satchel. There was quite a
sum of money and some valuable pa-
pers in the satchel, but what worried
her most was the loss of her engage-
ment ring, which was of very quaint
design, having been the marriage to-
ken in the family of her fiance for
several generations. Of course, every
endeavor was made to recover the lost
article. Advertisements Were inserted
in all the principal papers of the prov-
ince, and, although most strenzz ous ef-
forts were made, nothing 1' as ever
heard of the satchel.
Not long ago while visiting a friend
in West Philadelphia, a street piano
wheeled up before the porch on which
they were seated, and, after playing
a few melodies, a "young Italian girl
came up to collect some money. Imag-
ine Mrs. Bryn’s surprise to recognize
her long lost ring on the girl’s finger.
Questioning the girl in her native Ian-
guag We brought forth the fact that her
family was from the district in which
the satchel had been lost. Her father
had been a sheep raiser, and a shep-
herd dog he owned had one day come
one in the family could read, which
probably accounted for the fact that it
had never been returned.
An explanation of the circumstances,
together with a generous reward, re-
stored the ring to its rightful owner.—

WHY IT 13— 1111 INSTEAD OF 1v.
A King’ s Ignorance the Cause of Such
a Blundel.
There isan inteiesting story back
of the hour of four as represented on
the face of clocks. Perhaps you have
noticed many a time that instead of
its being IV., as would be most nat-
ural, it is usually—at least in all’cases
of old clocks and watches—IIII. The
reason for it is said to be that away
back in the time of Charles V. of
France, who reigned in the latter half
Of the fourteenth century, when the
first clock was made, its maker, Henry
Vick, was commanded to bring it be-
fore the, king. He did so, and the
king was very well pleased with it,
watching the works with much inter-
est. But he said, finally, “You have
got the figures on the dial wrong.”
“I think not, your Majesty,” replied
the clockmaker.
“Yes; that four should be few
ones
“Surely not,- your \Iajesty," urged
the ma.,n again.
“Yes, it should be four ones, ” insist-
ed the king
, “You are wrong.” once more said
' Vick, which made the king very angry.
E ' “I am never wrong,” he cried. “Take
it away and correct the mistake." The
poor clockmaker could only obey, and
the blunder of the king has come all
the way down to us, for all clocks
have been so marked ever since.

Revolution Only Ten Years 011' Says W.
P. Morgan, M. P.
“Inside the next ten years this coun-
try will see the most awful revolution
that has astounded the world of late.
That is my firm conviction, based upon
more than one visit to the United
States ”
The speaker was W. Pritchard MO1-
gan, Liberal member of Pa1liament fm

In Great Britain as the‘ Gold King,"
because of the magnitude of his gold
mining properties inNorth Wales. Mr.
Morgan had just arrived in New York
from a trip around the world. He gave
his impressions of the United States to
a. Sun reporter in a manner that was
remarkably free from anything akin
to “British reserve.” '
“There is not a thing wanting in’this
country,’.’ he went on, “to make it the
greatest and the richest in the world,
yet you choosetodestroy yourselves
by your inferii’al politics and your pro-
tection. You are so full of politics that
you can think of nothing else. You
make a tremendous to-do over electing
a President, and no sooner is he elect-
ed than you 'begin a new campaign to
see who will succeed him.
“You are so full of politics that you
are forever making laws. You make
laws to protect this branch and that
branch of manufacture, but you don't
make any to protect the workers. Now
I am a radical, a red radical, a radical
of the deepest dye if you like, but I
admit that what you want is more con
servatism; you want to stick closely to
what you have and not keep on mak-
ing changes. For God’s sake, what do
you want to change your President
every four years for? Why not keep
You would then
give your country a chance.
“All this changing of Postma-sters, of
Consuls, of Ambassadors every four
years upsets every-thing, undoes all the
good that their predecessors have done.
I would upset the Constitution of the
United States, would I? I certainly
would. Why, we upset the constitu-
tion of Great Britain twenty times
every year. I tell you that. radical
though I am, I believe a good autoc-
racy would be a good Government if
we could only get a good fellow for
the autocrat.
“The working classes are beginning
to think that they too should be pro-
tected. , These trusts and combinations
that are being tried for conspiracy are
undoubtedly lawless concerns, and yet
the laws are all made for their protec-
tion and the unfortunate consumer has
to pay the piper. In England such
trusts would be punished- If some re-
former does not rise up and alter
things here inside of eight or ten years
this country will be in a state of ter
rific revolution.

tionist ideas out of your heads you
would knock the trade of the world

NEW INDUSTRIAL ‘ COLONY.
New York Street Arabs to be Taught the
Science of Government and Farming.
A new countv staited at Gardiner,
N. Y., by the Industrial Colony Asso-
ciation of New York city has begun op-
erations. Fred Walton, a twelve-year
old, has been elected Supervisor and
head constable, and laws have been
made against the breaking of things
about the county house, against every
sort of an assault, against doing any-
thing that might be injurious to the
health or comfort of the people of the
county, and against resisting an offi-
cer when arrested. The county .in-
cludes a 140-acre farm, one of the best
in the W'allkill Valley.
The population now is very small,
but by the first of July it is expected
that enough street arabs will have ar-
Liv ed f1oml New York to fill up all the
availible space. The scheme is to
teach 1h . a1abs the rut of government
and the business of fanning. An en-
tire county government is to be estab-
lished. There is to be a Sheriff, a
Judge, two Supervisors. two consta-
bles and a jail. The bos-scitizen of the
county is now Calvin W. Stewart, :1
student in the Union Thelogical Semi-
nary, but he will not hold any office.
The county is to 'have a mint and
money of its own. This money is to
be guaranteed by the potatoes and
beers and onions and other things that
will be raised on the farm, and at the
end of the season is to be redeemed in
produce of this sor.t
Everybody in the county is to have
work. Ordinary la haters are to get 50
cents a day in the coin of the county.
The better class of laborers are to get
11’.) cents, and the highest class 75 cents
a day. Violations of the law are to be
punished by fine or imprisonment, or
both, and if the association sticks to
its determination to send the toughest
boys it can get hold of to make up the
population, maybe there won’t be a
great deal of (311111 to redeem at the end
of the season.

THE QUEEN’S ‘SERVAN-TS.
She Never Discharges One and (Stats Along
Very Well With All of Them.
American housekeepers, who are
forever wailing about the servant ques-
tion, will find it interesting to know
how Queen Victoria, who keeps four
times as many domestics as any one
here. manages them.
No servant is ever dismissed from a
royal palace. This is probably the
reason why we hear so little gossip-
of any kind about Her Majesty’s
nousehold arrangements. The Queen
early made up her mind that much of
her comfort and peace depended on
:he attitude taken by her toward those
with whom- she could not but be
brought constantly into contact.
Accordingly, no domestic is ever en-
gaged without the strictest inquiry be—
ing made into her private character
and general qualifications for the post
about to be filled, and, should a mis-
take appear to have been made, the
person in question is not sent away
with a more or less good character, as
would be the case in most establish-
ments, but he or she is simply moved.
down a step and given a position of
less res‘ponsibility.
Matrimonial engagements are not
discouraged, providing the contract-
ing parties are considered thoroughly
respectable. When a marriage is im-
minent the Queen sends for the young
woman, and after a few kindly words
of advice, presents her with a large
Bible. which, it need hardly be said,
soon becomes what is generally called
11 family Bible. Also, if the prospec-
tive bride has been in the royal service
some time, and has been distinguished
by good conduct, her trousseau is pro
vided, and she is often provided with
a small post, carrying with it a resi-
denc Most of the royal lodges are
occupied by couples who were once in
service at the castle.
EMPEROR OF CHINA A NIGHT HAWK
Frequently Receives Visitors Between 3
and 4 in the Morning.
The Emperor of China isone of the
hardest-worked men in the world, and
according to a curious custom that I
have never heard explained he turns
day into night. Some of the most im-
portant events in his daily programme
take place after midnight, and he fre-
quently receives visitors by appoint-
ment at 3 and 4 o’clock in the morning.
When Li Hung Chang returned to Fe.
kin from his tour around the world
the Emperor received him and heard
his report between 4 and 5 o’clock A.
M. He has often received ambassa-
dors at similar hours. The Emperor’s
work day begins at 1 o’clock P. M. He
first sees the members of the Privy
Council, then he devotes an hour or
two to the consideraton of their re—
ports and recommendations, and then
he receives the members of the official
boards, viceroys, governors, and other
officials who have come to Pekin to be
presented or to pay tribute or receive
instruction-s. He sits upon a throne
upon a raised platform. They kneel
before him with their foreheads touch-
ing the floor until he comm-ands them
to lift their eyes. They are kept in
this posture so long that the old men
always pad their knees with cushions.
The Emperor dines about sunset, and
has the third meal of the day at mid-
night. Sometimes he retires as early
as 1 or 2 o’clock A. M., but he is often
at work until daylight—Chicago Re-
