The day 1abore:, as opposed to the employer and to other workers, is king in Australia... The unions, through the labor party. practically control the ex- ecutive, leg slative and judicial ma- chinery of the cities, the states and the commonwealth, Forty-eight hours is the recognized maximum for u week’s work, but in certain occupations forty-four, forty-two, forty, and eveu thirty-six hours are considered full time. Some of the larger building trades have a forty-four hour week, and it is probable that this figure will become the recognized standard for all labor. Of the “four sacred eights” in the original slogan—*“eight hours’ work, eight hours’ play, eight hours’ rest and eight bob a day” —only the portion re- lating to.rest has been retained. Parentheses and Brackets. Know all writers, compositors and proofreaders by these presents: Marks of parentheses’ (which are frequently required) are ‘not to be confounded with brackets [“Hear, hear!'], which serve a different purpose. The use of one for the other [vide almost any newspaper page] is extremely sloppy (if you know what we mean) and ex- hibits lack -of familiarity with or in- difference to the technique of writing. [Applause.] Milk a Pain Killer. “Everybody should know that milk is an excellent pain killer,” says Farm and Fireside, ‘first, because it gives almost immediate relief and, second, because milk or cream is nearly al- ways available. If a person should get tar in the eyes, put in a few drops of milk or cream. It will also afford great relief if cement or a gnat should get in the eyes.” Hens and Water. From the hen’s viewpoint, water is worth just as much as feed, for she can’t make an egg with either one alone. Therefore the man who pro- vides high priced feed, but neglects the water supply, is making a big mistake and will have to be content with a lim- ited egg yield. That’s Different. “What's the matter with 1.e. doctor?” “You have a stitch in the back.” “Dear me, that is prosaic. I can’t tell my stylish friends. They would laugh at me.” “This is one of the fashionable new stitches.”—Pittsburgh Post. Self reverence, self knowledge, control, these three lead life to sove- reign power.— Tennyson.

THE BEST°SEPARATOR MADE, 223 Livergoodgst. JOHNSTOWN, PA. Grayfish as a Food. It used to be called the dogfish and was looked upon as a worthless nui- sance. Now, through the efforts of Uncle Sam’s bureau of fisheries, it is called the grayfish and is in great de- mand as a valuable food product. The grayfish contains a little less protein and a little more fat than the salmon, but in digestibility, richness and whole- someness it equalg, if it does not excel. many of our popular fish foods. One interesting result of the analysis thus far made bv the government is that the grayfish is entirely free from uric acid, which is not true of meats, poul- try or other fishes. : Willing to Bear It. “Well, dearest, I have just asked your father for your hand.” “What did he say?” “He asked me if 1 felt capable of as- suming a heavy burden.” “And what did you tell him?” “I told him I would take care of all he would give us.” —Boston Transcript. The Macaroni: Record. The “macaroni record” stands at pres. ent at 2,160 yards (just under a mile and a quarter). This is the exact mile age of macaroni swallowed by a Signor Sporeogambi in an eating duel with Signor Bevere a few years ago.—Lonh- don Tit-Bits. A Sad Prospect. “They say there’s no fool like ap old fool.” self ! “That makes me shudder for the fu- | ture. I've riready beed all the other | kinds.”—Kansas City Journal, LY A Lonely Continent. Australia is the most isolated of all inhabited continents and is remote from the center of all the world’s ac- tivities. Northward the sailing dis- tance to Japan is approximately 8,000 nautical miles; to India 2,500 miles. South America: is 7,000 miles to the east, and Africa an equal distance west. From London to the capital of Australia ships by the Suez route trav- erse approximately 11,000 miles of wa- ter and by the Panama canal 12,734 miles. From California ports the routes via Samoa or Fiji or Tahiti cover a quarter of the circumference of the earth. Australia’s only large civilized neighbor within a radius of 1,000 miles is Java.—National Geographic Maga- zine. For the Salad Course. Have “ships of the desert” for your next salad course. Cut off crisp lettuce leaves te the number you expect to serve. In the center of each leaf arrange a square of the more compact lettuce from the center of the head and surround it with stoned dates. Lay a slice of cream cheese on top and sprinkle with pap- rika. Serve with French dressing. Arrange all the “ships” on a large plate and garnish with celery, parsley or lettuce leaves.
