JUDGES ON STRIKE.
They Make a Demand Which Causes Con-
siderable Merriment.

Belgium is said to be the paradise of
strikers" since, during recent years,
there has been scarcely month when
the Belgium public has not been follow
ing the details of some extensive sus-
pension of labor due to demand for in
creased wages.
There have been glass-workers'
strikes, carpenters strikes, drivers
strikes and dockmen's striS es; and when
no other Belgian workmen are striking,
the miners are almost sure to be. The
miners strike has been. indeed, the
cause of another very remarkable de-
mand for higher wages
The magistrates of the courts of
Ghent, by reason of their constant labor
in judging the cases against striking
miners, and the wear and tear of send
ing these strikers to prison, lately came
to feel the need of relief for their over
worked courts, and of increased COM
pensation of their burdensome labor.
Inasmuch as the government had not
seen fit to proceed of its own motion to
SIdllU Jlt Hccutu Itlltl, Iuc JuuStS
unanimously participated in demand
for higher salaries.
This demand created great deal of
merriment among the Belgian working
men, who declared that there was but a
single step left open to the magistrates,
and that was to hang up their judicial
gowns and 'go into the street."
The judges, however, were happily
found too conscious of the dignity Of
their office to ''turn OUT and march
about with banners inscribed with such
notices as I'VE demand justice for JUS
tice," or mo increase, no more sen
| tences of strikers
Although the judges have been en-
tirely peaceable, the miners have
caused it to be announced that if the,
make any trouble, they, the minerp
shall insist upon passing on the Judge,
cases.-Youth's Companion.

CHANCES IN BATTLE.
The Amount of Powder and Ball 1t Takes
to Kill "a Man,

No doubt every reader has seen the
statement that it takes mans weight
of lead to kill him in battle, and they
may have considered it to be merely a
rhetorical hyperbole, suggested by the
fact that comparatively few out of the
whole number of shots fired in heat of
battle take effect. Marshal Sale, we
believe, first made the assertion which
forms the base of the above, when he
said it would take 125 pounds of lead
and 33 pounds of powder to put each of
the enemy in the long trench. Wild
and visionary as this may seem, it ap-
pears that there was more truth than
poetry in the remark. With all the i'm
provements which have been made in
the art of war since the days of Sake
Cassendi, the French savant, proves that
the great Marshal's philosophical re-
mark still holds good.
At the battle of Solferino, according
to Cassendi's carefully-deduced calcula-
tions, comparison of the number of
shots fred on the Austrian side with the
VI hllicu anu Nouliutu Ou buc
part of the enemy, shows that 700 bull
lets were expended for each man
wounded, and 1900 for each man killed
The average weight of the ball used
was 80 grains, therefore it must have
taken at least 1876 Kilograms, or 227
pounds of lead for each man killed! Yet
Solferino was most important and
bloody battle. In the Franco-Prussian
war the slaughter caused by the needle
gun among the French soldiers shows
how much superior that gun is to the
Austrian carbine; yet with that deadly
weapon 1,S00 shots were fred for every
soldier destroyed in the enemy's ranks.
Verify there was good foundation for
Bogert's ungrammatical remark: "War
is awful, but the noise of war is awful.

A BUDDHIST MARRIAGE.
What a Missionary Saw i'm the Palace of the
Governor of Cambodia.

A missionary describes marriage
ceremony which he witnessed in the
palace of the Governor of Cambodia, as
follows:
81 was ushered, amid tremendous
din of gongs, into a large room beyond
the reception hall, where were seated
the Governor and about hundred no.
blemen and invited guests The BRIDE
groom, young man about twenty years
of age, elegantly attired in silk gar
ments, was also there
"By the time we foreigners were
seated, a procession-headed by the
bride, supported on either side by de-
mure-looking matrons, composed princi-
pally of aged or married women, all ele-
gantly attired entered and slowly
marched toward the Governor.
''The bride was not particularly in
teresting as regards personal charms;
she was young, however, and dressed
richly and in good taste. Besides her
silk dress she wore a gold-embroidered
scarf upon her shoulders; also gold rings
upoh hCl lhSClS, upOh uCl
wrists and armlets above the elbows.
"The bride took up her position near
the bridegroom, both sitting upon the
floor, but not looking toward each other;
in fact, throughout the entire ceremony
they both were perfectly impassive and
nonchalant.
The marriage ceremony proper now
began. number of wax candles were
brought in a salver, and then lighted by
one of the mobiles. The silver waiter was
then passed round before the company
eight times, each one in turn saluting
the couple and wishing them good fortune
! by waving or blowing the smoke toward
them, thus expressing something like
the old English custom of throwing the
slipper after a newly married couple
the band of string instruments playing
the meanwhile Two large velvet cush-
ions having been previously placed be-
fore the bride and bridegroom, and upon
them large sword, the leader of the
| theatricals now came forward and went
through, for few moments, most fan
tastical sword exercise. Dishes had
been placed before the couple upon the
floor, with covers upon them. Nothing,
however, was eaten.
Next the hands of the eXpectant
couple were bound together, and tc
each other, with silken threads, by the
women attendants, probably some neal
relatives. Thus were they truly joined
in Buddhist wedlock. And this com
pleted the simple, yet effective cere
mony."-San Francisco Argonaut

But do both sexes work togethsr in

OF course they do. American girls san

these maiders are by no means spring
chickens. Not many of them are on the
marry, though every now and then we
hear of one dropping off the pay-rolls
with good husband. The late Attor~
ney-General Brewster got wife in this
Treasury Department She was the
daughter of an ex-Secretary of the
Treasury, and she was one of the pret-
tlest women that Washington has ever
known. Brewster saw her as he went
through the department one day on
some legal business long before he was
Attorney-General, and he said to a
friend:
What pretty woman?'
She overheard and replied in stage
whisper.
What an ugly man." and Brewster
you know was ugly enough to stop a
clock. His face had been burnt all out
OF shape when he was baby, by his
falling into the fire or by his attempt
Ing to save his little sister from burn
ing. Both stories are told, and | don't
know which is correct. At any rate he
overheard the remark of the pretty
treasury clerk. He met her the same
night at reception and she found Mr.,
Brewster as entertaining as he was
ugly. After few months he proposed
to her and she accepted him and got a
first-class husband Stephen A. Douglas
married department clerk and many
OF the ladies of the departments go
into the best of Washington society. 1t
is an unwritten law in some of the de-
partments that husband and his wife
shall not be on the pay-rolls at the same
time, and when two department
clerks marry one is expected to leave.
Postmaster-GeneralV Villas, however, OBJ
jected to this theory, and number of
the Cabinet officers now allow their
clerks to marry, if they choose. One
of the prettiest girls in the Pension
Office was married the other day to a
very accomplished young clerk, who
worked beside her. Their field of work,
however, was changed in order that no
remark might be caused by the mar.
riage, and they now have good positions
in New York. Not few clerks are
married secretly and their names ap,
pear on the payroll of the department
as single after they have been married.

WISE MODERATION.
1t Was Displayed by the Prussian Cover
ment After Sadowa.

III W as DtSplayeu Dy tne fruSSlan GOVERN
ment After Sadowa.
In dealing with Austria the Prussian
Government showed wise moderation.
1t annexed no territory, and the Pc
cuniary indemnity claimed was not un-
reasonable, being limited to 10000, 900
thalers from Austria and about g. 900, 900
thalers from SaXony for the coast of the
war. The end was attained when Prus-
sia became the supreme arbiter of Ger
many, and the Emperor and King of
Austria Hungary ceased to form part of
the Germanic body. From that mo-
ment, and even before the peace was
signed, M. de Bismarck employed all
his address to turn the empire he at
ally. He foresaw that his real antago.
nists were not on the Danube, but on
the Rhine and the Vistula. No man
ever acted more completely on the old
Greek maxim: Treat your enemies as
if there were one day to be your friends,
and your friends as if they were to be.
come your enemies"
But the problem was more difficult in
dealing with the minor German states,
which had ALL with the exception OF
Mecklenburg-Schwerin, adhered to Aus
| tria and to the Bund Hanover, Hesse
Nassau and Frankfort were marked out
for immediate annexation; they had
been for century objects of Prussiar
ambition, and the conduct of the King
of Hanover, who repaired straight tC
Vienna and refused to enter into any
negotiations derogatory to his crown
was absolutely fatal to his position as
sovereign Prince. These provinces il
reality were the price and prizes of tn,
war. The southern Kingdoms of Bavarii
and Wurtemberg and the Grand Duchy
of Baden escaped the territorial gras,
of Prussia and retained their sovereignt,
under the flimsy fiction of the Nortl
German League, which drew line a

Prussia, which they were compelled t
accept, placed their armies and, cor
sequently, themselves entirely unde

UP GO BILLIARD BALLS.
Zanzibar Troubles and Emin's Loss Maae
Them Cost More.

tost MORE
The news that Emin rasha has left
behind him his load of irory has had a
surprising effect upon billiard interests
in this country, and its effect may be
soon felt in further bIlling of the
market for soft ivory used in the man
ufacture of billiard-balls. The price of
billiard balls was recently advanced to
$50 a set of four balls of standard 2ss-
inch measurement 1t was the last
boom of slow rise in price that had
been going on for nearly year. Last
year, before the advance set in, stand
ard set of balls of the best ivory could
be bought for S26. Footballs were a
tritle cheaper, because such true spheres
of ivory are not needed in pool.
The billiard-ball manufacturers at
tribute the increase to the war that has
been going on in Zanzibar for year OF
more between the Arab traders and the
natives on the one hand and the German
leaders of the protectorate at Zanzibar
on the other. These costly dissensions
/ the manufacturers say, had the effect o.
/ greatly retarding the expectation ol
soft ivory from Africa, and created {
scarcity of good ivory that made the in
crease in prices of billiard-balls neces-
sary. Only certain part of the tusl
can be made into billiari-balls, and tina
select part has to be in perfect condi
tion or tits useless for the billiard trade
The select part is utinso square blocks
and these blocks are turned int
spheres. Any imperfection in the tusl
will produce ball that will be cracke,
when turned. or thtt will not season
which is just as bad. The trimmings @
the corners of the square blocks are util
lied for the manufacture of ivory ring
used in harness.-N. ], Sun.
