At a large meeting of the striking carpenters
in st. Louis yesterday proposition to return
TO work for those bosses who have agreed to
the eight-hOur day system and to pay 50 cents
per hour wages was put to vote and carried by
a large majority. This practically ends the

A Cat Stops Board of Trade Operations

An incident Of an impressive character
occurred at the Chicago Board of Trade
the other week. The room was in the
usual uproar, it being within an hour OF
the closing time, when the old cat started
to move her family. She marched out of
her quarters carrying kitten by its
neck in her mouth. She walked very
dignifiedly up the hall, and dozen OF
more of the members who saw her stopped
to watch. Then the word spread, and
when she had put the first kitten in the
new home and started back for another
there was great crowd formed in two
lines looking at her. Then she came
forth with another kitten in her teeth,
and the boys gave her a cheer. This
attracted the attention of everybody on
the floor, and in another minute the
whole crowd was formed in two lines,
between which the old cat marched
slowly and with impressive mien clear the
other end near the stairs leading to the
members gallery. The pits became de-
serted and trading was suspended. Every
time she would appear at the south end
of the line with another kitten in her
mouth the boys would give her rousing
cheer, and, when she had deposited it at
the other end they would cry "Ah-h-h!"
in chorus. Finally her eight kittens
were all moved. Then the old cat sat
on the first step of the stairway and
washed her face with her paws, and the
boys went back and whooped up the
market.-Picayune.

A Wild Turkey Scheme.

The wild turkey is bird that has
almost disappeared from the face of the
earth. But it will be comforting to sports
men to learn that there are still sections
OF the country where this gamesome and
toothsome fowl abounds in comparatively
plentiful numbers. Such is said to be the
case in some parts of Mississippi. But If
the record recently made by an old
hunter down there is kept up, the supply
will not last long. The hunter in ques-
ton enticed flock of turkeys into a
lonely place in the woods by scattering
corn on the ground. This operation was
performed several days in succession until
nineteen nice fat birds formed the habit
of resorting to the place for their daily
BREAKFAST. he then laid for them, and
one morning fired into the flock, killing
eighteen outright at one shot. The nine
teenth escaped with broken wing. His
neighbors feasted on turkeys for week.

An Every Day Georgia Dog.

It was only can every day Georgia
dog" This was the beast that plunged
into the canal the other day and saved
a drowning boy. There was no New
foundland trace in her lineage to account
for her strength and fidelity. Some
where back in her pedigree her ancestors
had been spaniels, but this was no special
claim to life saving service. Her best
friends never thought it of "Juno." But
here she is-a heroine-as brave as Gap
tain Muller, who saved the whole ships
company from drowning. This is good
work for "the every day Georgia dog. !"
In the face of such heroism detraction
must retire and SANDER draw in its fanqs.
We do not want to hear any more talk of
dog laws to tax or kill the Georgia cur.
''Juno" deserves collar and cool kennel
for the summer. Among the resources

forget the "eyery day Georgia dog

THE WHISKY HABIT.

The Prairie Farmer has insisted-loes vet
that the true way to diminish the immod
crate drinking of spirituous and fermented
liquors is to have it considered degrading for
persons to be seen drinking at public bars
and especially that the treating habit he
abolished. 1t will become so as soon as the
average man becomes ashamed to be seen in
drinking saloons. 1t is public opinion alone
educated thereto by the more sober-minded
that can bring this about. Accomplished II
would reduce the public dran1-shop nuisance

entirely with these pest-holes of drunkenness

men, eliminate nine-tenths of tho criminals
from the country, and carry the hundreds of
mllilons OF dollars now viciously spent in
drink into making the homes of the now in
temperate classes comfortable. 1t would do
away In great measure with strikes and
otner labor troubles for then the working
men could think not only earnestly. but 90,
gently toward righting the differences he

Kaiser Wilhelm,s Habits.

Accounts are given of the German
Kaiser's manner of life on his yachting
excursion to Norway. He was accom-
panied by large suite of army and navy
officers and by two artists, one of whom
sketched and photographed the natural
scenery while the other devoted himself
TO the living beings. The Kaiser, we are
told, appeared on deck at o'clock, and
che ceremony of hosting and saluting
the flag was performed. Immediately af-
terward breakfast of eggs and meat was
served. The Kaiser then walked the
ieck with telescope under his arm and
paid attention to all that was going on.
At l O'Clock second breakfast was
served, after which cigars and coffee
we're taken on deck. The Kaiser then
retired to bis glass pavilion near the
bridge and remained busily engaged in
reading and writing until the dinner
hour of six. At dinner the whole COM

kinds of wine, and the observer of the

When you begin, before you lay the
button on the cloth stuff, put the thread
through so that the knot will be on the
right side, That leaves it under the but,

begin sewing, lay large pin across tn,

filing the holes with thread, draw out

cRysrALLIzrNe GRASSES AND FERNS.

1t is time to gather grasses, ferns and
leaves for crystallizing, spatter-work,
skeletonizing, etc. Their greatest beauty
is when they are in full blossom They
should be gathered on dry, clear day.
For crystallizing, put the leaves and
grass u vases or jars in closet where
they will be free from dust, to dry. Use
alum and pure water in the proportion OF
a pound Of alum to gallon of water, and
boil it until it is all dissolved. Pour this
into wide-mouthed jar, and when it has
become luke-warm, suspend the grasses
in punches, by thread, from stick rest
ing on the top of the jar, so that they
will be immersed in the solution. Do
not jar the leaves until the deposit takes
place; this generally begins after fifteen
hours. When the leaves are nicely
coated, remove them carefully and hang
them up to dry. The same solution NAV
be used again, but the crystals will not
be as large on the second lot of leaves
