Th* Age of Machinery.
We live In the age of machinery
The thinking, directing mind become#
daily of more account, while mere
brawn falls correspondingly in value
from day to day That eccentric phll
osopher. Elbert Hubbard, says in one
of his essays, "where a machine will
do better work than the human hand
we prefer to let the utaehine do the
work."
It has been but a few years slnre
the cotton gin, the "spinning .I nny"
and the power loom displaced the
hand picker, the spinning wheel and
the hand loom; since the reaper and
binder, the take and tedder, the mow
ins tuachine took the place of the old
cradle, scythe, pitchfork and l.«ud
rake; since the friction match su
perseded the flint and tinder; since
the modern paint factory replaced the
slab and muller. the paint pot and
paddle.
in every case where machinery has
been introduced to replace hand labor,
the laborers have resisted the change;
and as the weavers, the sempstresses
and the farm laborers protested
against new-langled looms, sewing ma-
chines and agricultural Implements,
so In recent times compositors have
protested against type-setting ma-
chines, glass blowers against bottle
blowing machines. anil painters
against ready mixed paints. And as
in the case of these short-sighted
classes of an earlier day, so with their
imitators of to-day, the protest will
be In vain. It is a protest against civ-
ilization, against the common weal,
against their own wellare.
The history of all mechanical Im-
provements shows that workmen are
the first to be benefited by them.
The invention of the sewing machine.
Instead of throwing thousands of wom-
en out of employment, increased the
demand to such an extent that thou-
sands of women have been employed,
at better wages, for shorter hours and
easier work where hundreds before
worked in laborious n to eke
out a pitiable existence .t was so
with spinning and weaving machln
ery. with agricultural implements—in
fact, it Is so with every notable Im-
provement. The multiplication of
books in the last decade is a direct
result of the invention of linotype
machinery and fast presses.
The mixed paint industry. In which
carefully designed paints for house
painting are prepared on a large scale
by special machinery, is another Im-
provement of the same type. The
cheapness and general excellence of
these products has so stimulated the
consumption of paint that the de-
mand for the services of painters lias
correspondingly multiplied. I'.efore
the advent of these goods a weli-palnt-
ed house was noticeable from its
rarity, whereas to-day an 111 painted
house Is conspicuous.
Nevertheless, the painters, as a
rule, following the example set by
the weavers, the sempstresses and the
farm laborers of old, almost to a man,
oppose the Improvement. It Is a real
Improvement. howeVer. and simply be-
cause of that fact the sale of such
products has increased until durlug
the present year it will fall not far
short of 90,000,000 or 100.000.000 gal-
lons.
Hindsight Is always better than
foresight, and most of us who aeplore
the short slghtedness of our ancestors
would do well to see that we do not
la turn furnish "terrible examples" to
our posterity.

Denver, Colo. — After three days
of strenuous sessions .perhaps the
most lively and in some particulars
the most extraordinary ever witnessed
by democrats of Colorado, the demo-
cratic state convenlon Thursday nlglit

was named, Alva Adams of Pueblo
county being the choic? for governor.
The action of the convention winch
is considered* by all concerned as the
moat moment us was the reading out
of the party of the Speer faction of

which he has been found guilty of ac-
cepting a fee for services rendered the

the nature of a supplication for an-
other opportunity to present the case,
and says in part:
'"Believing that the trial in the court
below was not a fair one .and that the
verdict rests on evidence not techni-
cally but substantially improper, evi-
dence which removed the case from
the region of fact to the realm of sus-
picion. and believing also that evi-
dence was excluded which alone could
meet and rebut the evidence wrong-
fully decided,, we earnestly* pray for a
rehearing."

Cure for Whooping Cough.
Irwin. Pa.—The "mine cure" for
whooping cough among small children
Is attracting attention in this section,
where the disease is almost epidemic.
In one case a Jeannette father daily
takes his ten-months old baby girl
down into the Penn mine. He re-
mains half an hour, comes to the sur-
face for the same space of time, and
again goes down and remains another
balf hour. This will he repeated daily
for two weeks. The child has a se-
vere case, and from a fit of cough-
ing goes into spasms. A Pittsbui g
physician recommended the "mine
cure" as the only profitable relief.
Monterey. Mex.—The celebration (
of Mexico's independence was ol>- |
served here Sunday by general mer-
rymaking. At daybreak the national
Hag was hoisted over all federal mun-
ieipal buildings and a salute was fired
from the barracks.
At 9 o'clock the governor, accompa-
nied by his staff and many prominent
citizens proceeded to the Juarezthea-
i. r, where they listened to the read-
ing of the decaratlon of Independence
;tnd the singing of the national hymn
by a prominent vocalist.

Bitter and embarrassing experiences
have led her long suffering mother to
recognize this fact.
Accordingly, when accidents in the
kitchen and the expectation of guests
to dine, rendered the purchase of new
water glasses necessary, Mrs. S
took her daughter Into her confidence.
• Sarah." she said, "these are new
glasses. 1 bought them at Stearns'
yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock.
Robert drove me over to the shop with
Jim and the runabout. Robert wore
his butternut livery and his brown
derby. 1 paid six dollars for the
i glasses, and had them sent. Now you
know all about them, and 1 positively
forbid you to ask a Bingle question
about ttiera when you see them on tha
table."
Sarah wore a subdued look during
the process of the meal, and Mrs.
s was beginning to congratulate
herself upon the effectiveness of her
lesson, when an eager and Interested
expression came Into Sarah's face, and
she piped in her shrill but engaging
voice: "Mother, what did you do with
\he old glasses?"

From Clyde Fitch's Scrapbook.
Clyde Fitch, at a dinner that he
gave in honor of a noted dramatic
critic, read from his library of scrap-
books a western criticism on Hamlet.
The criticism, which was" dated 1873
ran.
"There is too much chinning in this
piece. The author is behind the times,
and seems to forget that what we
want nowadays is hair raising situa-
tions and detectives.
"In the hands of a skillful play-
wright a detective would have been
put upon the track of Hamlet's uncle,
and the old man would have been
hunted down in a manner that would
have lifted the audience out of their
cowhides.
"The moral of the piece is not good.
The scene where Hamlet sasses his
mother is a bad example to the rising
generation.
"Our advice to the author is more
action, more love-making, and plenty
of specialties. The crazy girl scene
should be cut out altogether and a rat
tling good song aud dance substltut-
' ed "

Natural Color of Pure Water.
It was long ago dlscoverei that the
| natural color of pure water is blue,
and not white, as most of ns usually
I supposed. Opinions have not agreed
on the cause of the green and yellow
tints; these. It has been discovered
by W Spring, are due to extraneous
substances. Dissolved calcium salts,
though apparently giving a green tint,
due to a fine invisible suspension,
have no effect on the color of the
water when adequate precautions
are taken The brown or yellow color
due to iron salts is not seen when cal-
cium Is present. The gre m tint la
often due to a condition of equilibrium
between the color effect of the it on
I salts and the precipitating action of
the calcium salts— Scientific Aweil-
