Sharks Teeth for weapons.

The natives on some of the Pacific
islands being provided with neither
metals nor any stone harder than the
coral rocks. of which the atells they
inhabit are composed. would seem
badly off, indeed. for material of which
to make tools or weapons were 1T not
that their very necessity has bred an
invention no less ingenious than effect
i've. This is nothing less than the use
of sharks teeth to give a cutting edge
to their wooden knives and swords.
The mouth of the shark contains 500
teeth arranged in five rows. all closely
lying upon each other, except the
outer row, and so constructed that as
one tooth is broken or lost another
takes its place The teeth are not
only pointed and keen-edged but are
finely and regularly serated. so that
the cutting power is greatly increased.
Indeed. SO great faculty have these
teeth for wounding that the imple-
ments and weapons upon which they
are used have to be handled with great
care. The Kingmill islanders make
many strange articles of sharks teeth.

HOW OLD IS AN OLD MAID.
A Woman May BE One et twenty an
Not One at Forty.

When does a maiden become an old
maidP
Ah. there's the rub!
If somebody will determine this
point the social world will feel shock
Of relief and then go whirling on more
smoothly than ever.
You who have never been old maids.
and never will be, have n o idea OF the
worry certain class of women en-
dure. As they approach the 30-Fear-
old period they begin to get nervous
and show signs of impatience. They
will not admit that they are scared.
but by their eagerness to attract atten-
tion and the earnestness with which
they discuss matrimonial and kindred
topics it is quite apparent that they
are merely whistiing to keep their
courage up.
If they only knew that worry and
anxiety bring wrinkles. irritate the
nerves, and disturb the circulation
they would try to be calm Nervous
ness ages them more than hard work.
while disturbed circulation is a sure
destroyer of good complexion.
1t used to be thought that girl had
lost her best opportunities if she were
not married before reaching the age Of
twenty-one; but that notion has been
effectually upset She may sail along

doesn't fret and worry herself into
fright she can even go several years
longer without being branded with the
obnoxious letters o. NJ.
There are old maids who haven't
seen twenty summers and there are
maidens who have seen forty winters
who are not old maids. II is a con-
dition OF mind and heart rather than 3
question of years, aflirms a writer IN
the Pittsbnrg Commercial.
The records of the license court show
that very large majority of Ameri-
can women marry between the ages of
twenty and thirty. with more over the
| latter age than under the former.
With foreigners it is different. The
women marry anywhere from four
teen to twenty. Hungarians and Poles
are given to early marriages Old
men marry young bits of girls. but old
women rarely young mem The Hun

best and most ENJOYABLE part of life

Best Work Done Under Dificuities.

1t has been my experience that
man does his best work under the
most disadvantageous circumstances.
When he gets things so that they
exactly suit him he is apt to do moth
ing at all. 1t is the same with cities
as with men. Look at Kansas City. If
there is spot on earth that one would
pick out as the worst possible place for
a city, that spot is the site of Kansas
City. and yet there has grown a great
city that has outstripped its compe-
titors. Milwaukee has better harbor
and better conditions than Chicago,
which had to be filled in; which has a
stream running through it at decline
of an inch mile. so that everything
stands still and stinks. and yet see
what Chicago is and think what it is
destined to be. A hundred years hence
Chicago will be the greatest city of the
world. and mean what 1 say. AS it
is with men and cities so it is with
newspapers. A newspaper when it
puts up splendid building and SUR
rounds itself with every convenience is
apt to be a worse newspaper than
when its editors and reporters had to
work in one room under the greatest
disadvantages. There is an inspira-
ton when all are working thus to-
gether, which is lost when everybody
has separate room. and this editor is
No. IA on the first floor. and that
editor in No. rs on the sixth floor
Therefore, as reader of newspapers,
can't say that look upon the erect
ion of big newspaper offices with favor.

Three thousand architectural metal
workers in Chicago struck June 15 for
an eight-hour day and an increase in
wages.
Seven hundred Jewish and Russian
tailors in Philadelphia are out on
strike.
Thousands of female employees of
London laundries struck June 16 for
an eight-hour day and eighty cents.
They smashed the windows of non
union laundries, dragged out women
who wanted to remain at work and
laughed at the efforts of the police.
The Iowa coal miners strike failed
and the men have gone back to work
on the old terms. AtDunreph and
Angus eight hours were granted with
out a strike.
After the big British coal ship
Hounslow, which has been engaged
for several months in carrying coal
from Nanaimo to San Diego, was dis
charged and ready to sail June II the
Coast Seamens' union got her crew,
who had signed contracts for two
years at $25 a month, to desert, and
representatives of the union patrolled
the wharves and constantly rowed
back and forth in boats to prevent
the shipment CT a non-union crew.
June 10 Captain Norman had se-
cured boatload of men, and while
passing from the wharf to the steamer
three shots were fired at them by the
pursuing members of the union, but
no damage was done. While making
another trip the captain was beset by
a number of desperate longshoremen,
and but for the presence of squad of
police with drawn revolvers he would
undoubtedly have been seriously in
iured or killed.
When he reached the vessel he had
the anchor weighed and the steamer
went down the harbor to Ballast
point, where several more non-union
seamen were taken on board, they
having been driven to that point in a
wagon to escape the piekets of the
union at the wharf. After drilling the
new men until noon next day the
steamer sailed, leaving the strikers in
San Diego minus about $4,000 in wages
which by the strike they have for
feited.
At the coal mines of Spring Valley,
ILL.,, after a settlement was made,
about the middle of May, the men
worked week and then struck on
account of an arbitrary order reqair-
ing them to remain down in the mine
until p. M, and another grievance
respecting screens on which the coal
passes before it is weighed. The
screens had been changed from fiat
to diamond bars and more nut coal
passed through, which was a loss to
the miner. The men quit on May 25.
June 10 the general manager re-
ceived a letter from W. L. Scott, pres
ident of the coal company, instructing
him to reseind the obnoxious order
and offering to submit the screen
question to a board of arbitration.
He also offers in the letter to make a
semi-monthly pay day. All these
points are concessions to the men and
settlement of the trouble seems
probable
