Many women Joined IN the attack on the
guards. At a meeting OF the strikers
held on Tuesday afternoon few were
In favor Of resuming work, believing that
all that could be reasonably asked
had been complied with by the mining
Snperintendents, majority thought
otherwise and decided not to work. Ex.
cept the eight.hour rule all are satisfied
with the wages offered. The arrival gof
the troops are anxiously awaited; the ex.

and inclined to bolstrous talk. As rule
the strikers are quiet, but firm In their de.

and sobriety, which up 10 the present

has been done to property. The total

strike and will not themselves work or
permit others to do SO Is 1900. The,

An Incident.

From the Hollidaysburg Pa.) RegiSter.l
The following little story is told at the
expense of young lady school teacher
in Altoona, who is very properly anx.
ious in regard to the prevention of small
pox in her school, and therefore strictly
enforces the rule that whenever a case
of sickness is reported in the family OF
any one of her pupils, the pupil must
hiring certificate from the family ply
sician stating that the disease is not
contagious, failing in which the pupil
must remain away until all danger is
over. A few days ago she was informed
that one of her pupils, a little girl Of
Teutouic extraction, had sickness in her
family. On being questioned, the girl
admitted that "she had sick at her
house," that her mother was sick, and
that she had marks on her face. She
was accordingly sent home. She re-
turned in a few days. however, and re-
ported that her father was sick" She
was again sent home, with orders not to
come again without a certificate from
the family physician. The next day she
returned to the school, and shyly siding
up to the teacher, with her finger in her
mouth. and the little bonnet swinging
by the strings, she said: Miss =,
we've got a leetle baby at our house,
but mother told me to tell YOU it isn't
catchin. The teacher said she was very
glad il wasn't catching, and told her
pupil to take her seat.

ne.,on Nigh Arc . ah.m.

A Boston correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Commercial says;
Theodore Thomas has just left us
having given his farewell concert on
Saturday Of last week. His series OF
eight performances have moral that is
more amusing than most morals, and
furthermore illustrates what | have just
said. Thomas orchestra, As you doubt
less know, is composed Of picked per
formers, so modelled by the leader that
they play as one man under his direc-
ton. There is certainly no organiza-
ton in the country that can compare
with il for perfection of execution.
Well, Thomas came here last season and
gave several concerts, producing the
same class Of music which he has play
ed in New York and elsewhere over the
country. Boston condescended to lis
ten, and while acknowledging that the
orchestra played very well indeed,
turned languidly, and with sigh
of complaceney 10 it's well-beloved
Harvard association, as the only one
which could supply its cravings for
the strictly classical. Alas thought
Thomas, as he picked up his trombones
and clarionets and blew off the fog of
Boston from his mustache; il classical
music is what you want, l'ou shall have
it. So this season he appeared and
shook in the face Of Boston the pro-
grammes of eight concerts constructed
on the heaviest and most substantial
plan. he brought out Beethoven and
Bach, he delved in the mine Of later
Germa rai' postrs Of the severely CLASH
cal school, ud he wrestled with Chopin
and Rubinstcin, and Wagner, and Liszt,
and Schumann, and Rath. In short, he
gave Boston feast Of solid roast meets,
and the result has been that our critics
have proclaimed it dull, and the audi
ences have rarely been surprised into
animation. 1t being evident that, with
all our pretensions, we have not that i'm
mediate appreciation of the classical
which we claim to possess. Thomas. in
spirit of scorn, announced one final
concert Of popular music, played it to q
full and appreciative house, and left,
having exploded fallacy that has OBJ
tanned altogether too long"

No homes I'm tine ocean.
From tho Educational Monthly.l

Mr.. jeffrey has established the fact
that bones disappear in the ocean. By
dredging it is common to bring up teeth,
but rarely ever. bone Of any kind;
these. however compact, dissolve if ex-
posed to the action Of the water but a
little time. On the contrary, teeth
which are not bones any more than
whales are fsh-resist the destroying
action of the sea-water indefinitely. 1t
is, therefore, a powerful solvent. Still,
the popular opinion is that it is brine.
If such were the case, the bottom Of all
the seas would, long ago. have been
Swallowed by immense accumulation Of
carcases and products of the vegetable
kingdom constantly floating into them.
Dentine, the peculiar material Of which
teeth are formed, and the enamel cover
ing them, offer extraordinary resistance
to these chemical agencies, which resolve
other animal remains into nothingness.
Mounds in the West, tumuli in Europe
and Asia, which are believed to antedste
sacred history for thousands Of years,
yield up perfectly sound teeth, on which
time appears 10 have made no impress
sion whatever.
