carpenters, numbering in the aggregate
over 1000 men. Early this morning dele
cations from the different assemblies ap
peRred at the different railroad depots for
the purpose OF interCepting any scabs
from the neighboring cities who might
arrive, It is the policy Of the leaders to
keep the men oil the street and in conse-
quence few workmen are to be seen.
Everything is quiet and orderly and
no loud talk Is to be heard, even at the
headquarters. District Master Workman
Hobbs said this morning there were not
half as many men locked out Rs reported
Saturday, Many OF the bosses have con.
ceded the eight hours aud many more
would II they were not forced to hold out
BY the master builders, who threaten to
boycott these aub.ContraCtors by not tax.
Ing estimates for work from any Of
them who refuse to stand by
them in their resistance OF the eight
hour movement. MI. Hobbs estimates
the number locked out from 1000 to !, 200.
A committee on the amalgamation OF the
trades met to-day and perfected q scheme
for a meeting Of all building trades. The
committee was appointed by the District
Assembly OF the Knights OF Labor. The
committee mutually pledged their differ.
ent organizations to stand firmly together,
rhe working card system was adopted.
Some Of the employers whose men are at
work to-day assert they are working ten
hours, but as rule where work is In pro-
gress 1t Is under the elght.hour system.

IN AN AFRICAN FOREsT.-At this juno
ture the native guides arrived, having fol-
lowed our footsteps, anxious to see the re-
suit of our ell fguidance. Wishing to trans
fer my responsibility to other shoulders I
offered them a present of cloth if they would
lead us through the trackless forests to the
precincts of Rombo; whence I knew we
could find our way unaided to Taveita.
They consented and once more we entered
the dusky woods, following a zigzag course
by means of the rough paths which ele-
plants had just made. Often the long
stemmed flowers, and crushed stained grass
would be slowly rising erect again from the
PROSTATE position into which they had been
trampled by the feet of the clumsy probos-
cidians, these lords of the forest who had
just preceded us. Indeed, from time to

KNAPSACKS WERE A NUISANCE.

Anew Yorker who was a Confederate SOL
dier twenty years ago keeps his war toggery
in his favorite den, and has some prints
from De Neuville's pieces On the walls.
He was looking at one Of these prints,
representing a French infantry soldier in
heavy marching order, with his knapsacks,
dishes. haversack, tent pole, coffee mill,
blanket, overcoat and requirements strap
ped about him, and said: I take no stock
in an army that went into the field in any
such shape as that. A man would break
down under such a camel's back load. We
fellows looked a little like that at the first
of the war, but there wasn't one of US that
looked that way at the end of it. When
we enlisted we went into our camp with
boiled shirts, slippers, half a dozen pair of
stockings, collars, anu any amount of brio
a-brac in the shape of brushes, razors,
blacking, soap, stationery and don't know
what all. Pretty soon we began to find our
boiled shirts and collars superAuous, for we
didn't have any balls and receptions, and
we gave the shirts to the negroes or to the
surgeon for bandages, or to the cooks for
dishcloths. Then we began to fire away
our b%rickabrac; then we shed our extra
stockings, and finally we fired away our
knapsacks altogether and just rolled our
stuff in our blankets and hung them from
our shoulders. That's the easiest way to
carry anything. I rather hated to part
with my old knapsack, though and being a
bit of a cobbler l cut it down to this size.
Here it is. You see it is only a foot square,
and weighs, with the straps, about a pound.
/ went through the three days quarrel at
Gettysburg with that on my shoulders and
hardly knew I had anything on them. 1
had got down to business then and all that
there was in that bag was a flannel shirt
and a pair of drawers, a towel and a bit of
soap. I used to wash my stockings every
night and attend to the blisters on my
feet, and when my stockings were worn
out there were chances for new clothes af-
ter a battle. What did the dead fellows
want of stockings? Yes, war is a savage
business, and men who mix up in it live
like savages. Some of us, when we went
into it seemed to think that it was a kind
of pleasure excursion. but we found it
wasn't. We didn't bother about tents.
My partner carried a blanket and l had
a sort of poncho of rubber. When the
ground was wet we put the poncho On it
and covered ourselves with the blanket,
and when the ground was hard and snow
was falling, we put the blanket under us
and used the poncho for a bed quilt.
Spring beds are good enough for me. 1
don't want any more fighting"

How TO PRESERVE THE EYEsIGHT.-
Avoid all sudden changes between lightan
darkness.
Never begin to read, write or sew for sew
eral minutes after coming from darkness to
a bright light.
Never read by twilight or moonlight, or
or dark, cloudy days.
When reading it is best to let the light fall
from above obliquely over the left shoulder.
DO not use the eyesfght by the light so
scant that it requires an effort to discrlmi-
nate.
The moment you are instinctively prompt
ed to rub your eyes, that moment stop using
them.
If the eyelids are glued together on wax
ing up do not forcibly open them, but apply
saliva with the finger. 1t is the speediest
dilutant in the world; then wash your eyes
and face in warm water.

brother was talking abouthis shoes. "Now,
Georges buttons are all coming off his shoes,
mamma" he said, "but 1 haven. lost one
off mine for weeks"
"The reason u.s." remarked his mother,
proudly, "that your mother sewed them on
herself. I have come to the conclusion that
no human understands or ever understood
the art of putting on shoe buttons but your
mother"
Little six-year-old was listening, and
here he asked, reproachfully:
