Where the Laboter Is King.
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.

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.

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.

Cut off crisp lettuce leaves te the

rika. Serve with French dressing.
Arrange all the “ships” on a large
