Washington, June ti.—It is said at
the agricultural department that there
is no truth in the published reports
that pork examined microscopically for
Germany and France, and found to
contain trichina), is stamped by the in-
spectors as free from disease, and so
transported and sold in interstate com-
merce trade. Karly in February, Sec-
retary Morton ordered all pork ex-
amined and found to be infected with
trichinosis tanked, but later it
was decided that the present
law did not give the secretary
this authority. The enforcement of
the order was, therefore, postponed
until July 1, when the new law goes
into effect. It is doubtful, however,
whether the new law will give him
power to cause the destruction of pork
infected with trichina). It only au-
thorizes the secretary to make such
regulations as he may deem necessary
to prevent the shipment of condemned
carcasses from one state to another,
and does not specifically give him juris-
diction over pogk examined for tri-
china) and condemned to prevent its
sale in the local market of the place
where it is examined. The local
authorities alone can effect this
unless they secure from Germuny and
France (the countries requiring the
inspection for trichina*) voluntary
agreements, such as have been made
with shippers of beef, mutton, etc., by
which the latter agree to tank such
carcasses as do not pass federal inspec-
tion. If such a regulation is put in
force, however, it is feared that the
pork exportation to Germany and
France will cease. "The percentage
of pork infected with trichinosis is so
large," said Mr. Salmon, "that if all
the carcasses found to be infected
went to the rendering vats the ship-
pers' profits would all disappear." The
amouut of pork exported to (ieriuany
and France averages from 5,000,000 to
7,000,000 pounds monthly.

llwfH Ruins Have Improved Them, Corn
Especially Potatoes Good.
Topfjla. Ivan., June0.—The weather-
crop bulletin of the Kansas service for
the week ended the 3d says: In the
eastern division the high winds of the
-7th nnd 2#th did much damage to
fruits and some other crops. The
leaves on the southern side of the fruit
trees were scorched as by tire, and
much fruit blown off. The rains of
the 29th, UOth and 31st have greatly
improved conditions. Corn is clean
and growing rapidly; flax, oats, pas-
ture and meadows improving; potatoes
are looking fine and in bloom. Wheat
and rye jwau-ly ready to cut, especially
in the Mvuth.
In the northern and western coun-
ties of the middle division crops havs
made greater improvement than in the
southern. The high winds of the 27th
and 28th did much damage, and iu
sandy soils burned some fields with
drifting sand. Corn is yet the best
crop in this division; wheat better
than oats, heading with short straw
but good berry. Fruit much thiuned
by the winds.
In the western division the very
good rains have greatly improved all
crops above ground. Plowing will
now be vigorously pushed for more
plantings and u large acreage of fod-
der crops will gi iu. Much corn was
planted this spring but a large part
remained in the dry ground unsprouted;
the heavy rains of this week will start
that. Alfalfa-cutting has commenced
in the south

chapter x.
▲ woman's woko.
"From plague, pestilence and famine,
from battle ami murder and from sudden
death." says the grand old Litany,
"Good Lord, deliver us;" ami assuredly,
If the inspired sage who wrote these
words had lived in the latter days, he
would have added "And from strikes
aud walking delegates," for humanity
confronts no evil more appalling than
the pitiless edict which goes forth that
the breadwinner shall not toil, and his
women aud children shall be martyrs to
the Great Cause o^ Labor versusCapital.
Down in the dust fall the devotees of
reform and the juggernautic car of
demagogism crushes them to powder.
Only one little month of four weeks
has elapsed since the shadow of evil
fell upon the shipyards, and see what
changes it has wrought. Men's very
natures seem twisted from their normal
beings from the passions which stir
within them.
And poor Joe Henderson—Garland's
young friend, who had just carried him
the evil tidings as honest a young fel-
low as ever wielded an adze, was one
of the first victims of the unreasoning
hatred of wealth wrecking everything,
even to Alice Palmer's love, for the
bright "saleslady" was betrothed to
him.
The shipbuilders, driven to exaspera-
tion by the unreasonable demands of
the union on Moore & Marston, had
voted a general "lock-out," and two
thousand heads of families in the city
of Chicago were out of employment.
Men gathered at the street corners,
crowded the great labor halls, paraded
with bands and flags, or cheered in
mass meetings Hchlossinger's fierce de-
nunciations of the bloated bond-
holders.
Meanwhile supplies from the labor
league were served with tolerable reg-
ularity. and all felt that right must
triumph over might.
Two months passed, aud the subsidies
from the central committee became
less frequent. Still the masters stood
firm; the men solid. Then went the
startling whisper abroad that one hun-
dred FrenchCanadian skilled mechan-
ics had been hired in the place of the
strikers, and that work would be re-
sumed, under protection of big patrols
of police, at Moore A. Marston's yard
on the following Monday.
Meanwhile how fared it with the
llarlauds? But badly. The Insurance
policy has lapsed, the upholsterer has
taken away the parlor furniture, though
it was nearly paid for, the sewiug ma-
chine has been replevied, ami Nellie's
pretty volumes have been seized under
"cutthroat contract" by the book agent.
It is not a question of luxuries with
them, but of bare subsistence.
An empty cupboard! It is difficult
for one living in this land of plenty
to realize what that means—what it
means to see one's loved ones in want
and laek the means of relieving them.
In vain Alice Palmer humbly ap
when the hissing plugs or rine outlets
spread terror among the erowd. "The
Pinkertons! The Pinkertons!'' is the
cry, aud as the name of that dreaded
police agency is heard, the mob sways
backwards aud forwards for a moment,
then breaks like an ocean wave spent
by its own fury. All fly but one. He
bends low over the fallen figure and
lifts the nerveless arm which hides the
battered face.
"George Ilarland!" he shrieks. "My
Got!, what have 1 done?"
He helps Grey bear the lifeless bur-
den to the house, he hears little Wil-
lie's piteous cry, as they lay it on the
bed, he lingers for one moment at tho
door and tries to utter a few words of
sympathy, which his parched lips re-
fuse to form, he looks in mute appeal
to Alice, he sees her pointing to the
door, and hears her scornful "Go!" with
a groan, as he slinks into the deserted
street, straight on his way to give him-
self up at the nearest police station.
For days George Harland's spirit
hovered between life und death and
all the time the wolf was at the door,
ami the poor, stricken women k;.ew
not where to turn for help, too proud
even to let their lodger know they
were lacking the bare necessities of
life.
"Allie," said the sorrowful wife one
day, when George was convalescing,
"will you take care of Willie'.' 1 am gt>-
ingdown town."
"Yes; but where are you g"ing,
Nell?"
"To the pawnbroker's," was the sad
reply.
"Oh, Nell!"
Those who live in less prosperous coun-
tries could hardly understand the tone of
anguish in the girl's tones, where none

strike had hurt business, she was told,
ami she was not wanted.
Grey meanwhile was busy. He had
spoken at one or two meetings and per-
haps had done more harm to the cause
of order than Sehlossinger could ac-
complish in his wildest flights of bla-
tant fury, for this young enthusiast
brought forward batteries of strong ar-
gument that appealed to the reason
rather than the emotiou of men and
made him converts of the cooler,
steadier-hands, who had but laughed at
their comrades' frenzies. Grey was in-
tense, earnest, ready to lay down his
life for the cause.
Now, when the Monday morning
came on which it was announced that
Moore it Marston's yard would be in
"full blast" again, George Harland,
who had all along declared that no
union in a free country should stop him
from working when work was to be
got, started from his home with his
dinner pail in his hand.
"Do not be a fool; you are risking
your life," had been (trey's advice, net-
tled at the obstinacy of the man who
would not acknowledge that the few
must suffer for the benefit of the many.
"Do not go!" Alice cried, clinging
tearfully on his arm.
"Pshaw, girl!" he replied roughly.
"I never drew a cent of the union's
money, and I've always declared that i
would take the first job that came
along. No man shall dictate to me
whether I work or lie idle."
So (ieorge Ilarland went to his doom.
The day passed wearily for the
women. Night came on, and with
heart-beating anxiety they waited the
coming of the breadwinner. "George
is late," Nell said, uervously; "I do
wish he would come."
"Oh, he will be here before long,'|
Alice replied, with assumed cheerful-
ness.
"Hark!" the young wife screamed as
she flew to the door: "What is that
noise in the street?"
Grey, attracted by the tumult, flew
downstairs and joined the trembling
women.
What a sight met their gaze! Their
George—the idol of this humble home—
with blood-stained face and torn clothes
—swinging his ax over his head and
battling for his life against a hundred
fierce assailants. In vain a dozen po-
licemen rally round him. They are
beaten down like grain before the
sickle; and the mob, hoarse and furi-
ous. rushed over their bodies on to the
victim. There was something grand in
his despairing efforts, as. like a gladi-
ator, he faced his enemies.
"Down with the scab! Kill him!
kill him!" shriek u score of angry
voices.
Ah, surely it is all over.
Felled to the earth by a crushing
blow on the back of the head, he drops
at the feet of his persecutors.
"Hang him! Hang him!" yell the in-
furiated mob.
Hut over his prostrate body stands
Frank Grey, unarmed -pouring forth
au impassioned appeal to the frenzied
men to spare their victim. Impotent,
but heroic effort. Men had lost their
reason and become tigerlike in blind
ferocity. An instant aud he would
have laiu beside his seuseless friend.
In rapid succession all other super-
fluities followed—then the necessities,
the spare sheets aud blankets, George's
best clothes, ami one sorrowful day
saw the young, sobbing wife draw her
wedding ring from her finger and pass
down the street to the house with the
three golden balls.
How vain had been George Harland's
boast of bis superb strength, mechun-
ical skill, temperate habits, and profita-
ble employment. He, who had defied
sickness aud laughed at misfortune,
now lay a physical wreck in a gaunt
home blighted by the curse of a walk*
ing delegate.

Coming Tennessee Silver Convention Will
He a Hlg One.
Memphis, Tenn., June ti.— It is esti-
mated that at least 1,500 delegates
have already been appointed to attend
the silver convention which will meet
here June 1'.', and county and town-
ship mass meetings in large numbers
are being held daily for the selection
of delegates. With this outpouring of
the advocates of the free coinage of
silver the gathering is expected to
eclipse the recent sound money demon-
stration in this city in point of num
hers.
Telegrams were sent last night to
the chairman of the democratic state
convention at Springfield, 111., ami the
republican state convention at Louis-
ville, Ky., inviting them to appoint
delegates to the convention.

The
Staamer Saratoga Nearly Sinks a
Ferryboat No I.lvrs Lost.
New Yohk, June 0. While the bay
was crowded with various vessels
yesterday afternoon the Ward line
steumer Saratoga ran down and nearly
sank the Thirty-ninth street ferry-
boat West Brooklyn. The ferryboat
was just rounding the end of Gov-
ernor's island when the prow of the
steamer crashed into her side tearing
away the guard rail and ripping a rag-
ged hole in her hull between the main
deck and the water line. The ferry-
boat carried about loo passengers,
among whom the wildest excitement
prevailed. The boat, badly damaged,
iianaged to reach her pier In safety,
without any loss of life
Struck by l.lghliiiug.
Boon vii.i.k, Mo., June 0.—John
George Brickner, a farmer, living 7
miles east of Boonville, was struck by
lightning Monday evening and instant-
ly killed, lie was building a barbed
wire fence during a storm, and while
he was holding to a piece of the wire,
which had been strung, the lightning
hit a post close by and ran down the
wire, giving him a shock that killed
him.
lie lasted Too l.ong.
South H.nio, Ok., June ti.—Eugene
Busch, who recently fasted forty days,
was yesterday pronounced insane by
the county commissioners. Physicians
differ, however, as to whether he is
really insane or delirious from over-
eating at the close of his fast. All
agree that Dr. Tanner, the scientist
who fasted forty days, has a rival in an
illiterate farmer. His profanity now
equals his hitherto zealous prayers.
Veterans Politically Favored.
Boston. Mass., June 0. -Gov. Green-
halge's veto of the bill giving union
veterans of the civil war absolute pref-
erence in state employment was yes-
terday overridden by the senate, the
vote being 'J8 to 7. The governor' ob-
jection to the bill was that it would
seriously impair the efficiency of the
civil service.

FIGHTING DISEASE GERMS.

Absolutely Essential.
It is of the greatest importance for
erery housewife to understand the
working of the various disease germs,
and be able to combat them intelli-
gently It is often the ca.se that our
best friends become our worst enemies.
Thus it is with water and air. Bath
are capable of doing much good and
also, under favorable conditions oi
doing great evil Both are necessary
to life and both have the power of tak-
iug life They are the great sanitary
agents. On the one hand they have
the power to prevent disease; on the
other, they are the two great vehicles
for transmission of disease germs.
The germs of typhoid fever,
cholera. dysentery, ami many
other diseases, are conveyed by drink-
ing water more frequently than by any
other agency. Knowing the power of
water to hold aud oonvey disease
germs, it becomes a duty to use only
pure water. Water

germs will stai
and uot be dt
able to stand heat above a certain de-
gree Taking advantage of this fact,
we can render drinking water perfect-
ly pure and safe by thoroughly boil-
ing and filtering it It might be inter-
esting to give direction! for making
an analysis of water ami the various
methods of detecting its impurities,
but space forbids. The most effectual
way of purifying the air is by thorough
ventilation liverv house should U
provided with a good :>vstem of ventila-
tion One of the simplest and best ap-
pliances is the fireplace. The great
objection to windows as ventilators is
the danger of producing draughts.
This is u very important item in sick-
rooms, as a draught of air may produce
serious consequences. This may be
obviated by fitting a hoard under the
lower sash, so as to raise the window
four or five inches. This will leave an
air space between tlie upper part of the
lower and the lower part of the upper
sash sufficient for good ventilation. In
the various elaborate sj'stems of venti-
lation now in use, the great caution to
be observed is to be sure that the air
supply is absolutely pure.
In addition to what has been said
regarding cleanliness, there may be
mentioned certain chemical agents
that aid greatly in preventing dis-
ease. These are disinfectants and
antiseptics. Many make the mistake
of confounding these substances with
deodorants, and the distinction is not
always uiiade clear,even by the medical
profession. Prof. Gilman reports the
case of a physician of "considerable
reputation" who had attended a case
of contagious disease, which termi-
nated in the death of the patient. He
reported that he had "personally su-
perintended the disinfection of the
house," and that the work hail "been
done thoroughly." The board of health
made inquiry into his method, and dis-
closed the wonderful work of "sprink-
ling coffee-grounds on a pan of coals
and disseminating its pleasant aroma
throughout the premises." It is need-
less to say that the board took the
matter into its own hands and
gave the task of regenerating the
premises to a competent individual.
An antiseptic is a substance which pre-
vents decay in material that is liable to
undergo decomposition. Sugar, salt,
vinegar, alcohol, smoke, heat and cold
are familiar domestic examples, while
in surgery we find carbolic acid, corro-
12 37| sive sublimate, boracic acid, and vari-
ous other substances in common use.
A disinfectant is a substance that de-
stroys germs after they have been
formed, anil renders inert that which
produces decomposition or disease. All
disinfectants are antiseptics, and all
antiseptics, if sufficiently concentrated
or used iu large quantities, are disin-
fectants. I will briefly mention a few
of the most important disinfectant!)
now iu use and the method of using
them.
Copperas is a good and cheap disin-
fectant for many purposes; it is easy to
obtain and readily dissolves in warm
or cold water. It should be used iu
the proportion of two pounds to tho
pailful of water. < hloride of zinc is
superior to copperas as a disinfectant,
but it is more expensive and therefore
not so available where large quantities
are required. The proportion is half a
pound to the gallon. This is a very ef-
fective solution to use in kitchen sinks,
house drains, etc., also in vessels used
about the sick-room. Corrosive subli-
mate in a solution consisting of one
part of the salt to a thousand parts of
water is one of the most effective dis-
infectants kn.iwn. It can be used for
any purpose when a disinfectant is
needed, but being a dangerous poison
it should be handled with care. Ouick-
litne and chloride of lime arc valuable
to scatter around wet places, under
buildings, in stables, etc. The offen-
sive odor of the latter, however, is
their chief disadvantage. A solution
of sulphate of zinc, one pound: carbolic
acid, two ounces; and water, four gal-
lons, answers every purpose for wash-
ing soiled clothes taken from a sick-
room; after washing the bed linen and
other clothes in this a thorough boil-
ing will destroy all disease germs.
By fumigation we are able to reach
every nook and corner where disease
germs may lurk. Many substances
