Strikes Did Not Worry Him.

Peter COnver, who used to run a paper
in Forest county, Pa, never had but
one strike during his lifetime. 3.
One day the devil was commissioned
to announce to COnver that the only
printer on the paper, and the only one
in the county, was on strike for back
pay.
VERY well, said Conver. Just issue
a circular to our subscribers stating that,
on account of the death of our grand
mother, tire will be no paper issued
from this Office for six weeks. Our sub
scribers are entitled to this rest, any
how, and we will save expenses for six
weeks. See?"
''After that WHAT" inquired the devil.
''If the printer does not capitulate by
that time, we will issue another circular
that our mother-in-law has died, and
the Office will be draped in mourning
and business suspended for the usual
time. We can hold out as long as our
relations last"
Then Conver would buy enough whis-
key to keep him drunk for two months
at least.-New York World.

Mise EnIhPr.

An absent minded city man, used to
paying five cent fares on the street cars,
went on short railroad journey. He
took out five cents for his fare, instead
of his dollar ticket, and sat looking out
of the window, absorbed in thought,
when the conductor came along, calling.
Tickets, please!"
Without turning his head, the passen-
ger proffered his five cent piece
Ticket, sir!' said the conductor,
sharply
The passenger gazed at him blankly
for an instant, then, recognizing his
blunder, he muttered, "Ah, absent mind
ed again!" and politely began fumbling
his hat band for the receipt check which
the conductor held ready to give him in
return for the ticket, still untouched in
his pocket.
BIG this man was not nearly so absent
minded as the Bostonian who met his
own son down town, took off his hat in
response to the young mans greeting,
passed on in abstraction, and said at his
dinner table that night:
"A young fellow down on Milk street
laughed at me today when | answered
his bow, and for the life of me | can't
think who it could have been, though his
face did seem familiar. "-Iouth'S Com.

If they could but tells us how it worked
The cup and saucer mania has passed
away. but il left behind it mania for
collecting spoons. This fad is a strong
one, and is within the reach of all. The
spoony girl is found everywhere, and
talks necessarily of her spoons. They
are not collected by the dozen, but by
the piece, as it were; that is, they are
bought one at time, and, Of course, as
in other collections, no two are alike.
They are large and small, antique and
modern, plain, engraved, repousse, and
of gold, silver, aluminium, ivory, glass
and wood. There is the tiny salt spoon
that belonged to some ancestor, and the
slender teaspoon of a century ago; the
Russian spoon of today, gilt and enamel
ed; an Apostle spoon is much sought, as
are the French spoons of the Eighteenth
century. Ladies and gravy spoons, along
with mustard and salad spoons, are
eagerly bought; the plan Of the spoony
girl being to buy spoon in every city
or town she visits.-New York Star.
Pearl Fishing in Saxony.
The town of Oelsnitz, on the Elster,
has been for many centuries the center
of pearl fishing in Saxony. In no other
parts of Saxony nor in all Germany
were the banks so rich as here.
In early days every one had right to
gather MUSCLES in 1921 the sovereign
assumed possession of the pearl fisheries.
Prince Electoral Johann George appoint
ed in that year Moritz Schmirler as cleo
toral pearl fisher at salary of thirty
forms (Sl2)a year. An ordinance of 1901
administered severe punishments for
pearl thieving.
The Schmirler family were always
connected with pearl fishing. Moritz's
parents are known to have occupied
| themselves with it. Their celebrity for
skill and knowledge in this branch was
so great that in 1740 one of them was
summoned to Denmark in order to in
vestigate pearl fisheries in that country.
Not long ago three Oelsnitz citizens,
descendants of MOritZ Schmirler, were
saIaried as sworn royal pearl fishers.
Salary, l4O thalers (S1O5), with wood and
| produce, yearly Therefore they had to
deliver to the government all the pearls
| found The Schmirlers fill the same po-
sition to the present day.
When pearls were higher in price the
largest Elster pearls were valued at lSC
marks ($45) each. At present the pearl
production from the Elster is not so great
in Importance. Numerous factories or
the Elster shores seem to have damag
ing influence, their waste water mixing
with the river.-Jewelers' Weekly.
