A Kick by wheeling Steel Plant Laborers
Other News.
A Benwood workipgman met the REGIS
TER reporter on the street yesterday and
and said: 1.-THE tonnage men at the
Wheeling Steel Plant have taken the
places of the labOrers during repairs, and
the people of Bsnwood think they have
more nerve than government mule.
There are tonnsge men working now who
make from 81 to 50 per day when the plant
is RAINING, and then they laugh at the
lahorers who work for S1.40 per day.
When the plant is idle they do not hest
tate to take the work of the labOIers aud
think nothing CT it. Now, would like
to ask what the tonnage men would have
thought if the laborers had gone in when
they we're on a strike last January and
taken their jobs. Would they have ever
stopped howlipg?"
At meeting of the Board of Eiuca'
ton held Tuesday, the teachers who

The nail factory resumed operations yes
tsrday morning, but box broke on the

ahead the factory was compelled to close
down again until this morning when II
will restart. The prospects are good for
steady run and some of the boys who weni
fishing have been recalled. A good many
of the machines have been put on Ugh
guage nails.
Squire A. L. Pelley, Of the Board o.
Education, yesterday purchased new fur
niture Tor Chestnut Grove school from the
Sidney School Furniture Company.
Repairs al the Wheeling steel plant are
b,iog pushed vigorously, and it is hoped
that the plnnt will be ready for start IL
al out two weeks.

Chinese Floating Gardens.

China Review.
In the month of April a bamboo
raft ten feet to twelve feet long and
about half as broad is prepared. the
poles are dashed together with inter-
stices of an inch between them
Over this layer of straw an inch
thick is spread, and then a coating
two inches thick OF adhesive mud
taken from the bottom of canal or
pond which receives the seed. The
raft is mOored to the bank in still
water, and requires no further atten-
ton. The straw soon gives way and
the soil also, the roots drawing sup
port from the water alone. In about
twenty days the raft becomes covered
with the creeper. and its stems and
roots are gathered for cooking. In
autumn its small white petals and
yellow stamehs, Nesting among the
round leaves, present a very pretty
appearance. In some places marshy
land is profitably cultivated in this
manner. Besides these floating veg
etable gardens there are also floating
rice fields Upon RATS constructed
as above weeds and adherent mud
are placed as a flooring, and when
the rice shoots are ready tor trans
planting they are put in the floating
! soil. The latter being held in place
