Strike Only an I.ant Ilenort.
The advice of the executive council
of tiie International Cigar Makers' un
ion to its local branches to carefully
investigate conditions before going on
strike is timely and evidently needed.
The right to strike does not necessarily
imply that every strike entered into by
local unions is justified or can even be
defended upon the grounds of com
mon sense. More money is wasted on
useless and often senseless strikes
than would have been sufficient to
save some of the big strikes from de
feat. If the advice to investigate con
ditions before striking were strictly
followed out, strikes would rarely oc
cur, for if conditions were found to
be in favor of the strikers winning it
is certain that a settlement would be
reached without the strike taking
place. On the other hand, if conditions
were found to he not favorable for
winning, it would be equally sure that
no strike would take place. The prob
lem therefore of "How to avoid strikes"
is oue capable of a solution, provided
a little common sense is used.—Chicago

Street Cleaner* Get Back Pay.
Nearly 4,000 of the street clean
ers of New York city are happy over
the fact that after a long legal battle
for their rights the court of appeals has
affirmed the decision of the supreme
court of New York county, which gives
them judgment against the municipal
ity for $1,330,000 in wages due for
overtime work between Jun. 1, 1802,
and March 20, 1894, beyond eight
hours per day.
This decision fortifies the eight hour
law for public*employees, as oue of the
contentions of the appeal by the city
was that tiie "labor law" had no
proper application In the street clean
ing department, whose employees "had
accepted such employment upon a
stated salary, which was regularly
paid to and accepted by each in full
satisfaction for all services rendered."
Strikes In Spain.
A dispatch from Madrid says: The
minister of the interior has introduced
a bill in the cortes legalizing ordinary
strikes if from four to Dfteen days' no
tice be given to the authorities. Strikes
stopping the works of an entire town
or tending to produce a lack of neces
saries will he illegal, and the leaders
in such strikes will be punished by im
prisonment.
Similar conditions will govern the
employers' conditions. Concessions for
public works will hereafter stipulate
that contracts must be made with the
eonecssionnalros' workmen, setting
forth the hours of labor and wages.
Disputes will be referred to the au
thorities and to arbitrators.
The Longshoremen'. Victory.
The longshoremen's strike In New
Orleans ended in victory for the strik
ers. They now receive the highest
rate of wages in their trade in the
United States—viz. 40 cents an hour
for regular, 60 cents for over, 80 cents
for Sunday time. Grain handlers get
50 cents, 75 cents and $1 respectively
for the same kind of work. There are
1)00 negroes and 750 whites in the un
ions.
Tanning: Wool Sheepskins.
First scrape off the fat. Take equal
parts of alum and salt, add water and
cook to a paste, says American Agricul
turist. Spread the skin out carefully
to keep the wool clean and rub the
paste thickly over the flesh side. Fold
together, roll up for a day and next
day rub over it more of the paste, lte
peat this a third time. After it dries
out scrape off the salt and alum and
rub it soft. Use no oil on the akin, it
may then he colored any shade desired
and will make pretty mats for the floor,
carriage or baby's gocart.

witli paper and strips of cloth, hoards
or shingles.

CHOICE MISCELLANY
Cnrlona Polyglot Periodicals.
Three curious polyglot periodicals are
now being published.
One is the China Times, which is reg- !
ularly printed iu seven languages. It j
| Is published iu the capital of China, and j
the languages iu which it appears are
' the English, French, German, Italian,
j Russian, Japanese and Chinese.
! Another polyglot paper is the Aus
,i trian semimonthly entitled Acta Coin
-1 pnratiouis Literarum llniversarum. it
has correspondents and subscribers all
over the wond, and the contributions
; (f the former are invariably printed in
| the language of the countries from
; which they are sent. As a result it fre
ipiontly happens that in one 1111 in bur of
the paper there are articles in twenty
five or thirty languages.
i The third polyglot paper is the "Pan
tolodion Magazine," which is published
iu St. Petersburg, and which contains
critical essays regarding tlvc new books
published throughout the world. Each
of these essays is printed in the lan
i gunge of the country where the new
I book of which the essay treats appear
-1 ed. Thus a review of an American
I book is printed in English, a review of
a French book is printed in French,
and so on. Oue number of tills peri-
I odical has contained articles in fifteen
I different languages—namely, German,
i French, English, Italian, Spanish,
Dutch, Portuguese, Swedish, Danish,
Hungarian. Roumanla. Russian, Ser-
I vlan, Bohemian and Polish.
Overworked the Game.
Speaking of the trade in war relicß
Just after the close of the Spanish war
a Havana correspondent of the Boston
Transcript writes: "One live Ameri
can we know of gave it out that he
had bought the last Spanish flagstaff
from Morro Castle. A week or two
later, as soon as shipments could be got
from the States, this same man was
selling walking sticks said to have been
turned from the aforesaid flagstaff.
Some of those sticks were of oak. oth
ers of ash; some were mahogany and
others ebony, but nobody iu those days
questioned little things like that. The
man might have made a fortune had lie \
confined his business to walking sticks.
He didn't, though. He began offering
small articles of household furniture, j
then larger ones, and at last, becoming j
real bold, he tried to float a general
furniture factory—all out of wood from ;
j this large flagstaff. That was his j
| deathknell, and, though the man is
alive now, his sales are few and far
between aud are limited to walking
sticks again."
rt.erllly.ed Books.
To guard against insidious bacilli
physicians are recommending sterilizing
books in the public libraries, not in the
: hope of killing evil producing literature,
' but to destroy noxious germs concealed
in their leaves and bindings. That dis
ease lias frequently been transmitted
by the circulation of books has long
been suspected, and the belief has re
cently been verified.
The most careful work in this direc
tion has been done by the Chicago Pub
j lie library, and Dr. Ivuflewski reports
that he found a large number of bacilli,
I representing nearly a hundred different
poisons and disease germs. Fifty
books, selected at random, were exam
ined. and all of them were found more
or less infected. Dry sterilization is
recommended.
The Henltlilest Lmul In Europe.
An article in the Statistisclie Woelien
schrift upon the comparative Increase
of longevity in the various nations of
Europe Imagines that Sweden will be
fore long become recognized as the
| healthiest of European lands. In the
early part of the last century its sani
tary reputation was bad, but between
1830 and 1840 its mortality was reduced
to 26.8 in 1,000. Each successive
decade has shown a remarkable im
provement iu the longevity of its in
habitants. In 1870 the deaths were
20.2 In 3,000; in 1900, 10.5. With such
favorable conditions of health it is no
wonder that the tourist in Sweden
should say that he "met an old Swede
at every turn."
CoMtly ERR*.
A curious - case came up the other
day before the court in Caroline coun
ty, Md., when an ancient resident was
charged with the larceny of nine eggs.
Extra jurors had to be summoned, and
it cost the county $250 to try the case.
The accused was seventy-three years
old. His counsel said he had known
the defendant for forty years, and it
was incredible that lie would steal
I eggs. He argued that anyhow the
state had not shown that the eggs
were sound, and nine rotten eggs
would have no value at all. The jury
stayed out fifteen minutes aud return-
I ed a verdict of not guilty.
Tle Codfl*h Mail Route.
j Wliile anchored off the Vestermau
I islands, in the north Atlantic ocean, on
, April 29 Captain Christ ianson of the
I steamer Laura, which piles between
Copenhagen and Iceland, received a
letter which he threw overboard after
reading. He soon sailed for Iceland,
and when he arrived at Rcikiavik the
consul, Mr. Zimson, handed him the
identical letter which had been found
by a French fisherman of Reikiavik ou
iiiay 35 in the stomach of a codfish.
Consequently the letter had been con
* veyed by tlie codfish a distance of 180
miles between April 29 and May 15.
, Birdlike.
"How do you feel?" asked the leader
j of the mob after the tar and feathers
t had been applied iu liberal doses.
"Oh, I feel like a bird," smiled the
barn stormer, glancing at the feathers.
For such wit tliey allowed him to
1 write home and tell tlie old folks he
was leaving towu by the all rail route.

Mleep giver* to an ailing, tcetliing-, feverish, colicky, fruity infant.
Almost distracted hy its constant crying, and worn out with
weary, anxious care and watching, she trios everything possible
to obtain even relief for the little sufferer.
With what comfort and delight she sees her little one drop
off into a deep peaceful health-giving slumber, after its little
clogged bowels are cleared of their poisonous burden by a single
dose of Laxakola, the great tonic laxative und mother's remedy.
Laxakola is a pure, gentle and painless liquid laxative, and contains valuable
tonic properties which not only act upon the bowels, but tone up the entire system and
purify the blood. A few drojia can be Riven with safety to very young babies, which
will often relieve colic by expelling the wind and gas that cause it. Great relief fs ex
perienced when administered to young children suffering from diarrhtea, accompanied
with A bite or green evacuations, as it neutralizes the acidity of the bowels and carries
out the cause of the fermentation. LAXAKOLA will aid digestion, relieve restlessness,
assist nature, and induce sleep. For constipation, simple fevers, coated tongue, or any
infantile troubles arising from a disordered condition of the stomach it is invaluable.
