upon the women ignited their garments,

BURLINGTON, Iowa, May 31.-The

article by Judge Huston, of this city,

actly opposite conclusion. The court
held that after property imported into a
state reached its destination, it was at
once commodity, and became part of
the general mass of property in. the
state, without having passed out Of the.
hands of the consignee. The former
decision had apparently been over

Pooling the New Clerk.
From the Critic

I was in book store in Nassau Street
a few weeks ago talking about a new
etching of LcNeIi when a tall, gaunt
youth rushed in, watch in hand, and so
out of breath that he suffered. "Mr.
Plinky wants this book imme diately,"
he said, $50 that he can take it with him
when he goes on the 4:30 train" and
the youth handed the dealer slip of
paper on which was written: "'The
Life of Adams Father bound in half
calf"
eve haven't it in stock now, but you
can get it at Scribners," said the pro-
prietor, at the same time winking slyly
at me, and adding as the youth sped out
into the street:
''This is the way firm of bankers
test the brilliancy of their new clerks. !"
The Life of Adams Father" has
been in existence as joke for fifteen
years, and one new clerk hunted it for
hours before he found-not the book,
but that he was u fool.

Queer Lascar Sailors.
From the PHILADELPHIA Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The British steamship Mameluke, at
Spreckels' refinery wharf, has crew of
sixty East India coolies, commonly
called Lascars. The officers of the yes
sci speak very highly Of them, and say
they would rather sail with them than
with white crew. They are docile,
obedient and trustworthy, in this re.
spect differing from the Malays, who are
extremely treacherous.
Some of their peculiar customs are
very amusing to Americans. For in
stance, they always eat their food in the
open air, with their faces toward the
West, and the greatest insult white
man or "Geaour" can offer them is to
walk between them and the sun while
they are eating, causing his shadow to
fall on their food which Immediately
becomes unclean.
Their appearance is rendered pecul-
lar by their habit of shaving their
heads, leaving but one tuft at the side
for "the Prophet" to drag them into
Paradise by. When married they wear
ring on their big toe. They stand the
cold remarkably we'll, and make good
sailors, being as active as monkeys. In
running a'oft they ignore the ratlins
and use the backstays, perpendicular
wire rope, which they literally walk up.

doubt, however, but this plan Of trying

successful, and the results were un.
known in the remaining strikes.
Of the financial aspect OF strikes some
interesting particulars are given. TAX
ing 597 of the strikes, the loss OF wages
is estimated at e652, 600, while the loss
to each individual would be little over
e3 5s. For $50 Of the strikes the loss foI
the 344 $40 persons engaged is taken al
81, 122, 800. In ZIG instances it is shown
by employers whose men have been on
strike that the value of fixed capital laid
idle was e14. 400, 962; while in l69 instanc-
es the ratable value of property laid idle
was e26S,6S4 In 1913 strikes the esti-
mated outlay caused for laying
down and reopenipg the works
on strike was G169,219. On the other
hand, the returns sent in by trade un-
ions show that in 1863 strikes the
amount expended in support of men by
strike committees on trade unions was
963, 636. The returns also show that in
446 strikes the weekly wages earned
before the stoppages amounted in the
aggregate to E153, 504; while the est
mated loss of wages in 292 of these
strikes was e294,175.

A Badly Disguised Coyote.


The Eureka fiat country abounds in
wild geese, says the Oregonian, and the
hunters in that section are having fine
sport hunting them. The geese swarm
in the stubble fields to eat the scattered
heads of wheat, and the hunters dig pits
in these fields and lie in them, having
first set out number of tin or paste
board decoys to attract the geese. A
hunter named Adkins, day or two
since, while sitting in a pit near Fair
field waiting for geese, saw coyote
sneaking down on his decoys. The cum
ming brute crept along on his belly for
about fifty feet and then made spring
OF about twenty feet, landing on top of
the tin decoys. He was the most dis
gusted looking coyote ever seen in that
section, and Adkins felt SO sorry for him
that he shot him, breaking two of his
legs, and then knocked him on the head
with the butt of his gun.
