THE AMAlGAMAIEO ASSOCIATION.
PITTsBURG, Pa. April N.-All delegates
to the annual Amalgamated association
convention were mailed a copy Of the pro-
gram of business to come up before that
body. The document contains suggestions
of different lodges on changes in the diff
ferent departments as boiling muck, roll
ing, scrapping etc, and from these sug-
gestions the scale committee will formu-
late the scale of prices governing wages
for 1SS9-l89O. When this is presented TO
the convention every clause Will
be passed upon by the dele
gates, and it will then be turn over to
the conferenbe committee, which meets
the manufacturers 1t is generally con-
ceded that the scale will be praci icaliy the
same as last year. except that a cut Will be
made in nailers wages TO enable other
manufacturers to compete with the Bell
aire works, where a reduction OF nearly ~
per cent has been accepted by the nailers.
The ruughers and catchers will meet on
Sunday TO insist that their demands be
given hearing at the Amalgamated con-
vention, and if not, they threaten TO cause
serious dissensions.
At the same time it is reported that a
meeting of manufacturers was called last
Monday by Joseph ID. Weeks, secretary OF
the Western Iron association, in ORDER TO
reorganize the Association of Iron and
Steel Mill owners. This is with view OF
enforcing sweeping reduction IN wages.
The manufacturers expect that they Will
be very materially aided by dissensions in
the ranks of the workers, and are conf
IDENTIFY looking forward to a split at the
next convention.

HARRY NEWTON hElpFoR TRIAL.

HARRY NEWTON HELD FOR RIAL.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, April 27.-The pre-
liminary examination of Harry Newton,
of Vicksburg, Miss, closed today, and its
ending was marked by the same interest
that marked its opening. Lockwood. whose
head now shows no signs of the murder
Gus bullet, was not present. Newton
despite the two weeks of tremendous
strain to which he has been
subjected, was apparently as
fresh as ever and gazed
smillingly at the curious throng.
Justice Heron said that, taking all the
facts into consideration, and regarding the
plain letter of the law, he would fix the
prisoners bail at $500, which, If habeas
corpus proceedings. are not begun, Will
probably be furnished tomorrow. The
case is one of the most singular in Texas
criminal Jurisprudence. and may be stated
in half dozen words: Banker Lockwood
and his wife swear that Newton is the as
sailant. A half dozen reliable witnesses
swear he was in Mrs. Lockhart's boarding
house, mile and half away, when the
shooting occurred

Sit erect in your chair when reading,

If YOU bend downwards you not only
gorge the eyes with blood. but the brain
as well. and both suifer. The same rule
should apply to the use Of the micro
SCOPE Get one that will enable you to
look at things horizontally. not always
vertically.
Have a reading lamp for night use.
n. BIN reading the light should be on
the book or paper and the eyes in the
SHADE. If you have no reading lamp,
turn your back TO the light and you may
read without danger TO the eyes.
Hold the book at your focus; if that
begins to get far away. get spectacles.
Avoid reading by the flickering light

Avoid straining the eyes by reading in

Reading in bed is injurious as a rule.
It must be admitted. however, that in
cases Of sleeplessness when the mind is

A new and noticeable figure among the
numerous dignitaries and officials in the
suite Of the shah of Persia is young boy
Of 10, whom ths shah has covered with
dignities and titles, and who is an object
of envy and fear to most of his majesty's
mfzisters. His name is Goolamali Khan.
Tie is the director Of the corps Of ''royA
paces." and one Of his titles is Azizus-
Sskan, "Favorite OF the Monarch.
Neither minister, vizier nor royal prince
has ever vet been allowed to sit at the
shaIl's table. but Goolamaii Khan is an
exception to this law of the Persians. He
is constantly by his masters side. and
las more servants TO wait upon him than
any two OF the royal ministers. The ex-
pianation Of this extraordinary treat
Inent is to he found ia the Persian mon
arcl's conviction that his life is INSOFAR
ably and mysteriously bound up with
that OF Goolamal Khan, and that wise
men have foretold that the sIiah's death
will be preceded only few days by that
of his young fayorite; that the health and
prosperity of the latter will mean the
health and prosperity of the former. and
that. generally. whatever befalls this lit
tle one will also happen to his royal pro-
tector. This belief has resulted in the
boy leading a life of ease and luxury un-

Measuring Hay.


There is so much difference in the
quality Of hay that it is impossible to de-
eide the matter accurately. 1t Is gener-
ally believed that 400 cubic feet in a large
bay, taking it right through, or 500 on
long, wide. deep scaffold will represent
a ton, says a contributor to Pioneer Press.
When the hay is cut early, is stored
evenly over the NOW. is well trodden
when slowed away. and is allowed to
settle two or three months before meas
uring. perhaps it win hold out at the
above figures. When grass is allowed TO
stand until nearly ripe before cutting it
will occupy nearly. if not quite. 35 per
cent. more bulk. especially on a scaffold,
than the early cut, and require about
that many more cubic feet for ton.
Course hay. as timothy and clover.
will not weigh as heavy. bulk for bulk,
as that which is line like common prairie
or wild hay 1t is much more satisfac-
tory to both buyer and seller to weigh
the hay when possible. In estimating
by measurement, multiply together the
figures representing the length. width
and height OF the hay. and diride the
product 10y the number Of feet in ton.
For example. if the hay is 40 feet long.
i6 feet wide and Is feet from the bottom
to the top of the NOV, and the bulk
agreed is 400 feet to the ton, the NOW
will contain 40 times lG times rs. equal
to II $50 cubic feet, $50 divided by 400
equals % tons and $40 cubic feet. or % As
tons. It would require considerably
more than 400 cubic feet from the top of
such NOW for ton. while at the bot
tom it viii have become packed so sol
idly from the great weight above it that
400 cubic feet will weigh considerably
more than 10000 pounds.

Squirrels and Cones.

Dr.. Il. Bell, Of the Canadian Geologi-
cal Survey, says that the chickaree, or
red squirrel, lives largely upon the seeds
Of the black and white spruce. Ills
method of operation is ingenious, as
would be expected of such wide-awake
and enterprising creature.
The cones grow principally at the tops
of the spruce trees, and the lIrgest and
the finest are always to be found there.
The ehickaree selects tree distinguished
either for its stecpness and density Of It's
upper part, or for its leaning TO one side,
as either of these characteristics make it
certain that the cones, If detached, viii
fall to the ground then he cuts off the
heavily laden twigs and let's them drop.
This is done with an impatient rapidity.
Should person be sitting quietly under
a tree while one of these busy little crea-
lures is at work at the top, be would see
the punches of cones come tumbIing
down in such quick succession that he
might suppose half dozen squirrels
were at work, instead of only one indus
trious little fellow.
These punches seldom lodge in the
branches below, but if the squirrel on his
way down notices one Of them arrested
in a hopeful position toward the end Of
a bough, he will sometimes run out and
give it second send off. In climbing
tall spruce trees for observation of the
surrounding country, have often noticed
punches fcones lodged where, if start
ed off second time, they would be GER
tain to catch again in the thick branches
before reaching the ground. The squir-
rels seem to understand the situation per-
fectly, and leave such punches to their
fate. The ehickarees, having thrown
down a sufficient quantity for a few days
use, proceed TO carry them to their favor
ite feeding-place near by They peel off
the scales in succession, and nibble out
the seeds with great rapidity.--PopuLar

A Boys Thrilling Experience


| PORTLAND Ore, Sept. "a very exciting
incident occurred here last evening. Prof.
z. II. Redmont, an aeronaut, was to make an
ascension this evening in a hot air balloon.
Just as the large airship sailed away sky
ward, a lad aged II years, named Eddie Hill
became entangIed in the ropes attached to the
trapeze.
His neck got caught in half moose and
the boy could not extrieate himself. He
clung desperately to the ropes with both
hands, and by winding them around both
arms manged TO save himself from falling
and from choking to death. The balloon rose
over one thousand feet and drifted several
miles away to the southeast, finally coming
down as light as feather, landing the lad
without scratch.
The boy was frightened nearly to. death,
but soon recovered after finding himself
safely on earth. Prof Redmund did not 70
up at all, for if he had his weight would
have choked the boy to death. When he
saw how the lad was caught he let 90 the
ropes and remained on the ground. Great
excitement prevailed during the time the
balloon was in the air
