EIGHT HOURS A DAY.
A Most Important Step in that
Direction.
THE BUILDERS RESOLUTION.


81. PART. Jan. 2s---At the National Build
ers' convention today the report of the ex-
ecufiSe committee on the eight hour ques-
ton Was submitted. II recommends. in
view OF the fact that the national and many
OF the state and municipal governments
have enacted that not more than eight
hours labor per day may be legally re-
quired. and in view that this STANDARD is
established in many building trades, the
National Builders convention recommends
Ill its affiliatsd bodies, and advises all con-
tractors in their membership to 50 arrange
their affairs that they may safely accept in
the snear future the altered conditions
which general adoption of the eight hour
standard would entail.
They also advise affiliated bodies to Sc
cure early adoption of the system of pay
ment Of wages by the hour. so that they
may. through that, also be in safer con-
dition 70 meet a change In the number OF
hours should the conditions in their various
localities make il advisable for them TO do
so.
warm discussion followed the reading
of the report. but it was finally adopted
The matter will be taken up again tomor-

Not Correct.

A correspondent at Davisyille,. Cal.
asks the Examiner the. following
question:. "If man starts from
DaviBviIle and travels due northwest
as far as, he can, what point will he
have reached?"' TO this the editor
Of Answers to Various Queries. re-
plies:
IF he. is not gifted with slipernat-
ural poWeIs and. has no boat he will
REACH q point on the coast Of Cali
fornia, about 15 miles below Eureka.
Surprising him to, make q theoretical
journey i'm which, difficulties do. not
exist he, will. reach the North Pole"
This is another gross error in the
editor Of that department., for DO one
can reach. the North. Pole. by travel
ing a due northwest course from, any
given. point. The North Pole is due
porth, hence no. one could reach it by
travelling in. any other direction. If
it were possible to travel continuously
ina northwest direction, the Davis

self at home in Davisv;lla, having

silver question in the House Of Rep
resentayives:
Eleven members Of the House Com
luittee on coinage, Weights and Meas
ures were present to-day when the
Window silver bill was again dis
eussed. An amendment by Bartine,
providing for free coinage when the
price of silver reached 81 for 371.25
grains pure silver, was adopted by a
majority vote. Williams offered an
amendment (adopted) striking out the
clauseauthorizing the Secretary Of the
Treasury to suspend temporarily the
receipt of silver bullion at any time
when satisfied that through a combi-
nation or speculative manipulation
the market price Of silver is arbitrary
or fictitious. A motion by Bartine,
providing that notes issued for silver
bullion deposited shall be redeemed
upon demand in lawful money, was
lost and a motion to reconsider was
made, which was pending when the
House adjourned. The bill goes
over. until Monday, AS several
members of the committee were alb
sent from this; mornings meeting
what has, been done to-day may be
recalled and amended at the next

The utility of wire rope transmission
has become widely recognized,
says'a winter in Modern Miller. Not
only among the rugged hills and noun
tains of the East and far West where
streams go cushing down Through cav
erns and rocky sleeps, where no loca-
tions for mills or factories are afforded
is this means of transmission of pre-
cious powerappreciated, but it is SO con-
venient to use that we find on the prai-
ries Of 'the West mills being operated at
"a long distance from water powers by
the wire rope. A few days ago, on a
trip through Nebraska, We noticed q
rope stretching for nearly mile from a
water power to a mill that had recently
been built adjoining a railroad, the
owners finding it much more to their
advantage to have it there, with the
switching privileges afforded, than at
the dam. The expense of hauling the
flour which is thus saved to them will
very soon pay for the system of power
transmission.

In men, as IN animals, the nose As
always typical of the character of its
possessor. The noses OF the lower
animals are all represented in mankind.
Look at the street as you pass along,
and you will find the cat nose, the bull
dog nose, the ape nose, and even the
fish nose and face, as we'll as the eagle
nose of the man who is of grasping,
hard disposition, which this formation
always indicates, for a person possess
ing an eagle nose has an eagles charac-
ter. Women who have masculine noses
have unmistakably masculine charac-
ters. So vice versa, the men who have
feminine noses have Enthusiastically
feminine characteristics. You cannot
possibly mistake it. Yes, the nose is q
feature Of the face, and indicates the
character more than anything else. An
interesting experiment can be tried to
prove this. Let mask be prepared by
cutting away all its parts except the
forehead and nose. An individual may
wear such mask in the presence Of
his most intimate friends, and not be
recognized. The Eose taken as whole
shows more character than the COM
bined faces Of some whole families.

GEORGE VANDERBILT is the most ex.
traordinary member of the family in
some respects. Frederick and William
K. bear q very strong resemblance in
their manner and appearance to Mrs.
Vanderbilt, and Cornelius has many OF
the sturdy and business-like qualities
of his late father. The facial re-
semblance of the daughters of William
H. Vanderbilt to the defunct millionaire
is notable. 1t may be said in general
way that all of the children have Van
derbilt traits except the one that. has
gone far to the South to build himself
an isolated home. George Vanderbilt
is stranger inhis native town. Despite
his enormous wealth, assured social
position, and winning nature, he is not
known generally in business, club and
social hfe. The booksellers are ac-
quainted with him. and so are the men
who deal in brie-a-brac, but he is per-
sonally strange even to men who make
it point to know New Workers.

not less than two feet broad. Senacs
speaks of garret covered with a single

every tale on their roof; hence it was, OF
course, desirable to have tiles of as large
dimensions as possible, thus reducing
the amount OF the taxes.
