The still-beginning neyer-ending trade strikes in
Great Britain must weary even the newsmongers OF
that dsputatious kingdom. No handicraft escapes
the baefu influence of this chronic contest between
Capital and Labor. Just now IL is the building
trade which is threatened. Carpenters and joiners
are at present receiving Sd. an hour-they ask for
3D. The master builders have refused to give the
advance this year, but they promise to accede to it
on tho 1st of March, 1874, condition that the men
will consent to work an hour longer on Saturdays,
and to take lower payment than now for overtime
They have also refused to receive any deputation
from the men OF to hold any conference with them
on the subject of an immediate advance. The car
penters reject the proposals Of the master builders
and the strike is fixed for the first Saturday IN Au-
gust There is the usual repetition of the old
arguments The worlmen affirm that the necessa-
res of life have adyanced-the masters that higher
wages would necessarily curtail building opera
tons 1t is true that the additional halfpenny Is
promised in March, but it will not be paid If building
business should be dull. The problem becomes more
and more difficult. When will it be solyedf

The main thing to be relied upon for the extin-
guishment of fires is q full water supply. Chicago
is rebuilt, OF rapidly rebuilding yet after terrible
experience, it ID now stated that the water supply is
entirely insufficient on the South Side Not seldom
fire engines are unable TO obtain the necessary
water. What is needed it is said, is larger pipes.
The power at tho Water Works is sufficient, but
many of the pipes ara too small The evil NAV or
may not be remeded; unfortunately, it by no
means follows that it will be remedied because it is
PsTtecay well known.

not being consulted first, and attacked the old gen.
tleman, hurting him numerically. He was rescued
and carried home, and the medical man ordered the
application of half dozen leeches to his bruises.
The mans wife not having the slightest idea how
to apply them had three boiled and three fried, and
