OLD TRADES UNIONS.
THEY EXISTED LONG BEFORE THIS
COUNTRY WAS SETTLED.'
Bow Bilk Weaver of Damascus Was
. Balled to the Bank of Master "Work
man Impressive Ceremonies In an An
cient Trade Organization
The labor leaders of the present day
lave, as a rale, little if any conception of
ihe antiquity of organizations similar to
their own, similar in that they sought to
Improve and elevate their members, yet
dissimilar in the means adopted to accom
plish the desired end. In the making of
silk and silk embroideries the workmen of
Damancns have for many decades held a
reputation only surpassed by that of the
Damascene steel workers, and the excel
lence of the Damascus steel is a matter of
historical fact. The average American
may be surprised at learning of the exist
ence of trades unions among these artisans
of the orient.
It is nevertheless a fact that the work
iugmen of that old and historic city are not
only up in Buch matters with their brethren
of western countries, but can be considered
among the pioneers in industrial organiza
tion and united effort for - protection and
self improvement. The traditional rules
and usages governing these unions are
primitive, to be sure, yet do not lack origi
nality and wisdom when taken into con
sideration their surroundings and condi
tions of life, and compared with their more
favored brethren of Christian lands.
Some go so far as to assert that these
owe much totbeir eastern fellows for their
regulations. Others go further and say
that the very Idea of secret societies was
organized and put into execution among
the workingmen of the east, who, long be
fore Europe was civilized and America dis
covered, banded themselves into well gov
erned organizations for mutual improve
ment and protection. The degree of skill
required, the crucial tests imposed, the
standing a man was compelled to have
among his " fellow workmen before ha
could be udmitted to the ranks of the mns
ters of his cruft, were far too exact
ing to be looked upon with favor by the
workman of the Nineteenth century, and
yet the results, both to tho man himself
und the craft he represented, were worth
the trouble, as a man who had been ad
mitted to the ranks of the masters was
held in high respect and the product of his
labor was always in demuud.
Each union had Its own officers, who
combined to form a grand council, com
posed of a grand master workman and his
assistants, a grand marshal and assistant,
a grand deputy and his assistant, and all
the master workmen of thedillercnt trades
of the city. A silk weaver desiring to be
raised to the grade of master made appli
cation to the council. A sample of his
work was submitted for criticism und
examination to all the master weavers,
who agreed upon his promotion and so
reported to the master workman of the
trade. He sent his deputy to inform the
candidate by handing him the traditional
"olive branch," or its substitute, a bou
quet of flowers, which he kissed thank
fully, declaring at the same time his tin
worthiness of the great honor in store for
him.
The ceremony of initiation took place at
the house of the grand master workman of
all the trades, in deference to the wishes of
the candidate, if he were willing to pay for
the nnnsual honor and favor. Assembling
at the house the candidate was placed in a
room apart from the others, and the grand
master workman, having secured the re
spectful attention of the masters who were
present, said to them: "We have assembled,
brethren, in order to raise your associate to
the honorable rank of master, and to bind
him to us with the mystic tie and to in
trust him with the grand and precious se
cret of our brotherhood. What say you,
master workmen of the silk weaver's trade?
The work and behavior, as well as the char
acter of the candidate, whose conduct I
have ascertained from all members of our
trade and found to be good, entitle him to
this great honor. Here is a sample of his
work; let the brethren judge for them
selves." , Then an elegant silk shawl was passed
around and the decision was mado.
The candidate was then led into the room
by four masters from his own trade, fol
lowed by his champion, the master work
man of his union, who curried a large
apron, together with additional samples of
the candidate's work, and was mode to
kneel in the middle of the room during the
ceremony. When the chanting of various
selections from the Koran was through the
candidate was prompted in giving the
usual greetings to all workmen in these
terms: "I greet all the toilers of the east,
those of the west, of the north and south
with a thousand salaams! Thousand greet
ings to all the generous and faithful broth
ers!" The candidate was then made to
stand and solute In the four points of the
compass. Then the master of his trade
brought the apron and wrapped it around
him twice, muttering the blessings of Allah
all the time.
The grand master 'workman of all the
trades gave a long and instructive lecture,
telling the candidate to be loyal to the in
terests of his fellows and to those of his
trade, whose secret processes he must never
betray. He then took a long towel and re
quested all present to bow their heads and
keep perfect silence. The candidate, who
was kneeling on the right knee, extended
Lis right hand to receive the "grip" from
the hand of the grand master workman,
which was covered from view by the towel.
' This was followed by the bending of the
grand master Workman toward the candi
date's ear and whispering to him solemnly
the covenant and the great secret word.
' The ceremony closed with the congratu
lations of those assembled to the candi
date, a general merrymaking and the par
taking of refreshments by all present.

I Clianees of Death by Lightning.
' The chances that any citizen In the ordi
nary walks of life incur in a single year of
being killed by lightning, judging from
the experience of the past fifty years are
about one in 10,000. Men are much more
liuble to death by lightning than women
In the ratio of five to two a fact which 1b
probably due to their outdoor occupations.
The greatest number of deaths from this
cause occur in July, and the least number
in the winter months. The age twenty to
thirty years also furnishes the greatest
number of victims. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

An Electrical Effect.
Mme. Martin, living in an outer suburb
of Paris, recently experienced one of tho
most extraordinary shocks that have ever
startled a human being. On awakening
from her slumbers on a recent morning she
was horrified to find that her hubband's
face had turned completely black during
the night. Panting with terror, the wom
an hastily threw on her clothes and r ashed,
haggard and unkempt, to the comi lissary
of police. There she astonished a ri: ember
of the "force" by shouting in his ear:
"Come quicklyl My husband has been
turned into a negro during last night's
storml" The policeman, regarding Mme.
Martin as a maniac, took her. to the com
missary's clerk, and to this official she also
related the transformation scene, but in a
perfectly cool and collected manner. The
clerk, thinking after all that some phe
nomenon had happened through the agency
of electricity, put on his hat and accompa
nied Mme, Martin to her domicile.
There the husband was found wide
awake, bu looking as if he bad been care
fully lamy 'flacked before" going to bed.
Explanations followed, and it was ascer
tained that Mme. Martin, who is a devout
Catholic, had, during the night of a terri
ble thunderstorm, flung the contents of
what she considered p be a bottle of holy
water on the bed SRI 5u her husband's
face, thinking thereby to drive away the
lightning demon. The bottle contuined
common ink, and hence the metamorpho
sis in tho original Caucasian color of the
worliiy M. Martin which so startled his
spouse, and caused her to invoke the aid of
the police in her bewilderment. Paris
Letter.
Dogs Tails.
Several ye.irs ago there was a good deal
of discussion of the distinctive peculiarity
of the pointer and setter in the papers. It
was suggested that the habit of standing
still as soon as gume was scented, instead
of springing forward at once to seize it,
was an instance of the manner in which a
natural instinct might be absolutely re
versed by training. One of the explana
tions attempted at the time for this appar
ent anomaly was that the immovable posi
tion of the dog was comparable to th e pause
which most beasts of prey make before a
final spring.
But we must recollect when considering
this theory that few of the Canide pounce
from an ambush suddenly upon their prey
after the manner of cuts. And although a
terrier will stand immovable before a rat
hole for hours together, his patient, watch
ful attitude is very different from the rigid
and strained position of the pointer or set
ter, which position also has nothing in it
suggestive of crouching, preparatory to a
rapid bound forward, as is seen when a cat
stalks a bird an! then gathers herself to
gether before the 11 mil coup.
Not infrequentlythe tail of a young set
ter when it sets game may be seen trem
bling and vibrating as if it had a disposi
tion to wng, which was kept in check by
the supreme importance of not disturbing
the hare or covey. The tail also Is held
out in full view like a flag, wherais a rat
catcher's dug on the watch at a hole will
often droop its tail. Contemporary ,Re-
Luxuriant I'lunt life in California.
When Americans came to California
they were surprised at the variations that
they observed in familiar plants. The
elderberry, which is only slightly different
from the elderberry bush of the Atlantic
slope, often becomes a tree of from two to
four feet in diameter and thirty or forty
feet high. This is merely a matter of local
environment, rich soil and shelter; the
same species is a mere shrub on thn rocky
hillsides of the coast range. The bronze
leaved Ricinus, which makes a seniitropio
summer garden in front of many an Atlan
tic coast cottage, grows for year after year
in California, until a section of its stem a
foot and a half in diameter can be ob
tained by any collector of vegetable curios
ities. Geraniums, nasturtiums, tomatoes
and many other plants useful and other
wise escape from cultivation, modify their
habits of growth and soon become wild
again.
Many plants of Mexico, Peru, Chili, the
Hawaiian Islands, Australia, New Zealand,
South Africa and the Mediterranean shores
have already become dangerous weeds.
The loquat, a choice fruit of Japan, is al
ready growing wild in some canyons where
picnic parties, have left the seeds Apri
cots, peaches, cherries and English wal
nuts have been found in the forests chance
seedlings, growing with the madronos and
manzanitas. Charles H. Shiuniu Cen
tury. Complimentary Konsense.
"There are certain persons," remarked a
literary woman to one of her friends as she
returned from an afternoon reception,
"who are a perfect terror to me. When I
go into society where they are I am quite
given to creeps and shivers if I see them
coming in my direction. They will plump
down by my side in the most affect ionate,
kittenish way, and immediately burst Into
all sorts of enthusiasm about something
that I have recently written or which is
quite as likely that they have recently
read. There are twoor three houses which
I systematically and persistently stay away
from just on this account. One of them is
presided over by a woman whose principal
occupation is artistic designing.
"I remember once, in a sort of retaliation
for her gush over a sketch of mine she had
been reading, that I turned to her with a
great affectation of enthusiasm and said:
" 'Now, dear Mrs. A., please tell me all
about tho newest designs for carpi-ts and
upholstery. I know you do such lovely
ones, and really I haven't seen novelties
for quite awhile.'
"She gave a little grimace of disgust and
weariness, and exclaimed:
" 'Oh, please don't ask me to talk shop.
I get so tired of the everlasting grind of it.
I had much rather talk about that delight
ful story of yours.' ,
"It's a curious fact that people never
seem to realize that to a certain extent lit
erary work is drudgery. Of coarse it has
its pleasant features, but all the same there
is a deal or hard work attached to it, and
writers, as well as other workers, enjoy a
little respite from what is to them the
humdrum of the daily labor." New York
Commercial Advertiser.
Bigger Than the Sun.
A minute parallax of about one-sixtieth
of a second of arc found for Arcturusby
Dr. Elkin gives a most astounding result.
This small parallax implies a distance
from the earth equal to about 12,000,000
times the sun's distance. This vast dis
tance would produce a diminution of light
of about 35l magnitudes, so that the sun
placed at the distance of Arcturus would
be reduced to a star of only0 magnitudel
It would not be visible with an opera
glass! Arcturus is therefore in round
numbers magnitudes, or over 0,000
times brighter than the sun would be at
the same distance. Assuming thn same
density and brightness of surface as the
sun, the diameter of. Arcturus would
therefore be about seventy-nine times the
sun's diameter, or over 68,000,000 miles,
and its mass about 600,000 times the viass
of the sun figures well calculatj to
"tagger the imagination." Gentle fan's

Playful Monkey.
Apes and gorillas are usually vicious and
resentful, and less addicted to playful
tricks than the common monkey : Indeed
the monkey, as we all know, is a
trickster both in his wild and domestic
state. In their native forests they spend
hours in swinging from the branches of
trees, suspended by tlwlr tails, and chat
tering and grimacing with evident signs of
delight. Jlumbolut mentions se ing over
