Cairns, leader of the striking miners in the Pittsburg district, is a Scot by birth, though he was brought to Amer­ ica when a mere boy and has remained in this country ever since. Those who know him well speak of him as a man of unusual energy and determi­ nation, as one who has the courage of his convictions and feels bound always to do what he believes to be right regardless of the opinions of othera Although he has never before been intrusted with the im­ portant po?t of strike leader, he has been prominent in the labor movement for many yez.rs, and his services as member of several most important conferences be tween miners and operators have been such as to win for himself the repute of having rare executive ability. More than once, too, he hss steadfastly opposed the beginning of a strike when he thought it ill advised, and because of this his fellow miners placo implicit confidence in his judgment and fidelity. John A. Cairns is 88 years of age. He was born in the small Ayrshire village of Boston. His first home in the Unitea States was in Beaver county, Pa., where his parents settled on their arrival.

The “ Galtes de la Morgue” is the title of a volume of poems recently published In Paris by M. Clovis Pierre, who for 15 years prior to 1893 was the registrar in that little building on the lie de la Cite j in the shadow of Notre Dame. In his official capacity it was his daily business to receive and record the 800 or more stray bodies and the human debris which | suicide and crime contribute annually to the city’s death roll. Yet this Parisian Mark Tapley has found much to lie mirthful over among , the sad scenes in “ that great hotel well known in Paris—the hotel with the No. 2. ” He reports in vivacious verso an amus­ ! ing conversation which he heard outside the door one day between two drunken men who had just been viewing the “ found drownod” within. The poem ends by one of the inebriates slapping the oth­ er on the shoulder, saying, “ Behold, there­ fore, nion vieux, to what the abuse of wa­ ter leads one,” and inviting him to fur­ ther potations. The poet’s description of some of the visitors whom curiosity or other motive brings to the morgue is likewise diverting and throws a curious sidelight on the Gal­ lic nature. He tells of the street girls, who come there to meet idlers of the op­ posite sex w ho visit the ghastly place to kill time. Another character almost too graphically portrayed Is that of the gam­ in, who enters during the noonday hour and inspects the occupants of the marble slabs while munching his bread and cheese. One of M. Pierre’s mo6t charming bal­ lads is founded on fact and relates how from some sweet peas found in a drowned man’s pooket he made the little garden which one may still see in a window of the morgue.

As a sequel to a runaway marriage which created a sensation in March, 1889, Mrs. J. Matt Aubery, the daughter of Chief Justice Fuller of the United States supreme court, has applied for a divorce. The causes leading up to this action are well known to the newspaper reading public, says the Chicago News. Since the county, and there he has resided ever since In spite of his Scottish blood he became an enthusiastic Irish Nationalist several years ago and was the cause of many large contributions to both the Land League and the famine funds. No doubt it was largely his devotion to the cause of Erin that made him so popular with the Irish miners in the “ river district,” when he was chosen its secretary some years ago. A t that time be was living in Roscoe. Washington county, and he was one of the strongest factors in organizing the men of the Monongahela. Before that he had been a trustee of the Amalgamated association, so that his election to his present place as president of the P itts­ burg district of United Mine Workers, by virtue of which he is now strike leader, was quite in the line of promotion. It is largely due to his efforts that the miners of his district accepted the strike settle­ ment of last year without much protest or delay, and it was this course that shortly put the district in better shape than any other in the national organiza­ tion. MR. AND MRS. J . MATT AL BERT, elopement and marriage the life of Mrs. Aubery has been anything but a peaceful and happy one, owing, it is charged, to her husband’s habits. In October, 1893, It w ill lie remembered, she was forced to leave young Aubery and return to her family. Since then she has resided in Washington. Aubery has been in trouble at various times and was arrested some time ago at Sioux City for alleged non­ payment of a hotel bill. His father came to the front on each occasion and helped his wayward son out of his difficulties.

And it was not at all difficult from the way in which she said it and the expres­ sion on her face to conclude that she rather thought the speech an extremely bright one and the situation a sort of serio comic bit of domestic byplay. To be sure, Ihe child paid no attention to what she ‘aid and followed bis own sweet will, kick­ ing and screaming whenever he wanted anything that was denied him and mak­ ing the neighborhood hideous until, by hook or crook, he got it. There is not the least bit of smartness in a speech of that kind. It simply shows a conspicuous lack of capacity on the part j f the parent who makes it. A child under th« age of 15 years who refuses to obey the commands of its parents is in need of most wholesome discipline, and it might be said in the same connection that the par- snts are quite as badly iu ueed of training as the child. People who bring up their children in this way have a very grave re­ sponsibility at their doors. The children under 15 years of age who cannot be made to mind belong to the class from which paupers and criminals are recruited. One of the most necessary parts of education is to learn to recognize fixed laws. Failing to do this in infancy, the child continues to grow more and more intractable and less likely to yield to dis­ cipline of any sort. Such children devel­ op very restive natures, never satisfied with what they have and continually straining after the unattainable. With no habits of industry they lay no foundation for mate­ rial prosperity, and as a consequence are more than likely to come to want. They have nothing and are in want of every­ thing. Therefore those who possess the good things of life are to them objects of hatred and envy and all uncharitableness. From the time a child begins to notice objects of any sort whatever a decided course of education should begin. First of all things, it should learn to respect au­ thority and obey orders promptly. To teach this lesson there is not the least ne­ cessity to indulge iu any cruelty of any sort whatever. The properly trained child never knows that there is such a thing as disobedience. It is held as a fact by many persons that if the training of children were begun in proper season such a thing as punishment would be entirely unnecessary, and all of the scenes and straggles now so common in families might he avoided. To do this, however, requires a great deal of firmness and a steadfastness of purpose rarely found, especially in young mothers. It is so nice to let the little one do all sorts of cute and smart things, and it seems so dreadful to hurt it by any pun­ ishment. Misdirected affection is respon­ sible for nine-tenths of the bad children in this world. It is, to be sure, very pretty to watch the pranks and mischief of a ba­ by, and it is a source of endless amuse­ ment to note the development of its intel­ ligence in various ways; but, like a great many other things in this life, the conse­ quences are quite likely to be disastrous. It may bo questioned whether love, like a great many other of the good gifts of this world, is not a bad teacher. Certainly justice, firmness and a clear headed recog­ nition of authority are much the safer for the after life of the pupil. One of the im ­ portant lessons to impress upon the mind of a child is that under no circumstances must it inflict pain upon its fellows or upon helpless creatures. Many a child hurts insects and domestic animals merely because it has not been taught any better. It does not realize what such pain means and should be taught by the only possible method, that of actual experience. It seems hard to inflict pain upon little chil­ dren who know nothing of the causes or consequences of it. but it is the only way to cure them of various mischievous tricks. A mistaken idea of tenderness and a too firm belief in moral suasion have sent many a child the road that ended in the penitentiary or the hangman’s noose. It is by no means difficult to impress the little ones with proper ideas. Their minds are full of inquiry, and their curiosity leads them to endless experiment. Satisfy their interest in ft legitimate way and teach them the proper bounds of it, and one of the ground principles of success and a com­ fortable career is established. To refrain from correcting evils because the child may be made unhappy is like refusing to pull a thorn out of its flesh lest it may cause pain. It is much easier to have the whole thing over, and with all the ev ents impressed on the mind, than to allow mischievous diso­ bedience to grow until it dominates the entire nature. The mother who would have her child a credit to society and an honor to her training must under no circum­ stances admit to it or herself the idea that she cannot do anything with it or that it has grown out of her control.—New York Ledger. A T a c tfu l E m p re s s. The empress of Japan—being that sweet­ est of all sweet creatures, a womanly wo­ man—has upon many occasions openly evinced her deep interest in the wee ones of Japan, giving freely to all institutions that exist to benefit them in any way, even practicing all sorts of touching little econ­ omies that she may be able to swell her contributions to certain charities that most interest her. The conduct of this ideal woman upon a certain sad occasion her devoted subjects are never weary of describing. Prince Iwa- kura, a fearless Japanese leader in the mo- lientous days of the crisis, from which the lovely archipelago is still trembling in it9 subsidence to what seems assured stabili­ ty, lay dying in his yashiki. The empress announced her intention of paying Iwaku- ra a visit in person. The poor prince, weak and, as I have said, about to die, was thrown into a dangerous state of excite­ ment upon receiving the news, but he man aged to borrow from some hidden nervous force sufficient strength to grasp his writ­ ing box and brushes and to paint her an urgent but most respectful request not to think of coming to him. He forced upon her as excuse for declining so great an hon­ or the fact of his rapidly approaching death and his consequent inability to acknowl­ edge her visit with even a sixteenth part of the homage it demanded. He begged her to deign to kindly consider how ill he must be when it remained an impossibil­ ity to throw off the malady even for her entertainment. In reply, winged with speed, came a dear little missive whose im port was as follows: “ I come not as your empress, but as the daughter of your fond well wisher and co­ adjutor and as your own anxious friend.” Shorn of all ostentation and display, the empress arrived and remained beside her grateful subject until his final summons. —Harper’s Bazar. B r it is h C o m p lic a tio n s o f R a n k . A duke's daughter, even though the wife of a plain “ M r.,” takes precedence of a countess, while a duke’s younger son’s ! wife comes below a countess. Then a countess takes precedence of the daughter of a marquis, too, but the latter precedes the duke’s daughter-in-iaw. It is worse •ban the multiplication table. When peo­ ple of identical rank are in company, it is needful to know which peerage was the elder “ creation.” At a gathering at which her majesty was to be present I was once standing talking to a dowager marchion­ ess when her daughter-in-law, the reign­ ing marchioness, who had the management of things, came to her mother in great anx­ iety: “ Can you tell me which is the elder •reation—Downshire or Drogheda? Lady Downshire and Lady Drogheda are both here, and which should go first?” The elder peeress was “ sure they were near to­ gether, but could not remember,” and it was evidently a most serious difficulty. At last, though very reluctantly, the host­ ess had to ask themselves to tell her, not having her peerage at hand, and the ladies were perfectly ready with the information. Mrs. Fenwick Miller writes that she was T h e “ B e tw e e n itie s .” It is astonishing how much can be ac­ complished in the “ between tim es.” Mar­ ion Harland, in one of her housewifely books, quotes a correspondent who pointed to a set of embroidered chair backs which she, although a very busy woman, said that she did in the “ betweenities.” And George Eliot, in “ Daniel Deronda,” speaks of the lack of leisure for anything found in the day that isn't marked off into fixed hours of work. It was once upon a time advised a girl who did not suppose she had any superfluous hours at her disposal that she should try to secure a few moments, at any rate, each day for solid reading. She was not deeply intellectual, but she happened to be fond of Macau ley's sono­ rous sentences, and she had his “ complete works” on her bookshelves, into which she had scarcely looked as yet. So she took one volume down to the basement dining room and left it on the shelf there, at hand when she should have a few moments of leisure in waiting for the family to as­ semble for the meals, which it was her place to prepare. They were not more dil­ atory than many people, hut it was sur­ prising how many pages of Macauley she read in those odd minutes. Before the third winter was over she had finished ev­ erything he had written. S u s a n B . A n t h o n y ’s S ilk s a n d L a c e s . If Susan B. Anthony has a weakness, it is black silk with point lace. The memory of this generation runs not as far back as the time when this famous lady took to wearing these costly, elegant textures. Although a very busy woman, she is quiet and restful. Her clothes never wear out, and as she scorns to follow the fashion her dresses and ruffles and lace capes and scarfs last forever. None of her gowns is trim­ med, the expense for that item being put in the material. As a result, some of the straight, round skirts are made of satin and silk thick enough and stiff enough to stand alone. She wears nothing but black. When she wishes to change the character of her toilet, she changes the lace at her wrists and throat and the little shawl that drapes her shoulders. Miss Anthony reads no newspapers but the marked copies sent her by friends. She alleges that newspa­ per reading is a great waste of time and a great detriment to the mind, making a sieve of the memory and perverting the lit­ erary taste. She depends on gossip for the, news and upon her friends for the advance­ ment of thought. She is in the eventide of life, and her time is passed in the compa­ ny of books and friends about which and to whom she writes a great many letters. —New York World.

Those two high necked, long i ’ eved, pale blue things are artists’ aprons, rirls. When we have come into the studio from a walk, and I have put on a long white apron and devoted myself to chafing dish cooking, he has sat breathless with admiration. That’s the reason for those big white aprons there. When I wore cue of those silly, ruffled, white silk things and sat behind the tea table, he was filled with adoration. And it was when I was wearing one of those fancy work aprons and making Christmas presents that he offered me his very large heart and hand and very diminutive for­ tune. Hence these aprons!” And every member of the coterie prompt­ ly went off and invested iu aprons.—Phil adelphia Times. E x e rc is e F o r th e C h ild re n . Boys generally get their due quota of exercise. A t the same time, they can never get too much, if not of a too severe nature and taken with some measure of modera­ tion, writes Ellen Le Garde in The Ladies’ Home Journal. Burdette says in reply to the interrogation regarding his acts: “ If a boy again, I would spend a great deal of time in the gymnasium. 1 am a strong believer in athletic scholarship and gym nastic training. The ventilation in my gymnasium was perfect. The air came in with a free sweep from sunrise to set. There was sunshine all the way from heaven in the clearings and grateful shad­ ows under the trees. I don’t know so much about gymnasiums hedged in with walls and roof and ventilated by machinery, but I know they are better than none. Live out of doors all you can, my boy. Walk a heap. The open air, the free air m d the sunshine are as good as the exer- cise—better.” This advice should apply to our girls as well. A n E n g l i s h V ie w o f W o m a n ’s L o v e . The following estimate of women's love for her husband appeared in an English periodical of a quarter of a century ago: “ A Frenchwoman will love her husband if he is either witty or chivalrous; a Ger man woman, if he is constant and faith­ ful: a Dutchwoman, if he does not dis­ turb her ease and comfort too much; a Spanish woman, if he wreaks a vengeance upon those who incur her displeasure; an Italian woman, if he is dreamy and poet­ ical; a Danish woman, if he thinks that her native country is the brightest and happiest on earth; a Russian woman, if he despises all westerners as miserable barbarians; an English woman, if he suc­ ceeds in ingratiating himself with the court and aristocracy; an American wom­ an, if he has plenty of money.” E x t r a v a g a n t G ir ls . Young girls are prone to buy fancy stick­ pins, hair ornaments, candy and soda wa­ ter and to have their blooming young faces reproduced by tho camera, and these small vanities run away with more money than the girl finds it easy to realize unless she keeps an account and balances it regular­ ly. Every girl ought to have a fixed al­ lowance and be required to confine her ex­ penditure strictly within its lim its, for in no better way can she be taught the neces­ sary lesson, for ignorance of which many a woman whose girlhood was one of un­ stinted indulgence has been unjustly blamed—the lesson of wise and practical expenditure—and before all else of keeping one’s outgo within one’s income.—Phila­ delphia Press. “ K e e p H o m e W i t h Y o u .” defying costume.

E x­ actly what his is, in writ­ ing even, the pres­ ent scribe is un­ able to set down with certainty, for authorities differ as to its SIAM’S CROWN PRINCE, s p e l l i n g , one group of ordinarily accurate students of tho orient giving it as Cowfa Maha Vig- aravat and another equally unimpeachable group spelling it Chowfa Maha Vajira- vadh. Prince Maha, to mention him by the only one of his names concerning which there are no orthographical differences among the orientalists, is about 15 years old and is at present undergoing an Eng­ lish education at the famous college at Eton, England, where he has been a resi­ dent for a little more than a year. He is the third son of Siam ’s king, who has been termed crown prince, the other two, his half brothers, both having died before they were 20. Prince Maha’s father, by the way, has quite as unpronounceable a name as the son, it being Chuglalongkorn. This merry monarch married three sis­ ters, all daughters of his own father, and therefore each bearing the relation of half sister to their kingly husband. The eldest of these women was premier queen, and her firstborn was crown prince. This queen’s death came at about the 6ame time as that of her son, and then the sec­ ond sister was made premier queon and her son, Maha Vajirunhis, crown prince. He died, however, early in January of this year, and it then became the king’s duty to name one of his surviving sons to succeed to the place of crown prince. The one chosen is the eldest son of the present second queen, the third of the three half sister wives of the ruler. The choice did not fall upon this lad because the premier queen had no more sons, but because he was older than any of his brothers whose mothers were royal. Sev­ eral sons of the ruler by mothers of low rank are now being educated in England, and it is said they are all good friends. The present crown prinoe was recently Invested with his new rank In London by a commission sent all the way from Siam for that purpose, and the “ drawing room” held that same evening was very largely attended, the Siamese ministers at London, Pavis and Berlin being among those present.
