the International Body.
After two years of pickering as to
whether or not they should join the inter
national union, the Plumbers and Gas
filters Union of this city have finally de-
cided in the affirmative. The cause of the
long dispute was the desire of large fac
ton in the union to establish a distinct and
independent Pacific Coast union. The inter-
national body, With headquarters at St.
Louis, now claims San Francisco, Portland
and Los Angeles, but no other Pacific Coast
unions.
To make it easier for Eastern plumbers
who have drifted to this city in search of
work, the union has decided to issue working
cards to all such, and allow them to pay the
SO admission fee ON the installment plan.

Inherent LAZlNESS.

Privation ~ Remedy for . Lack Of En-
ergy.
Now and then one meets with an ex-
ceptional case in which energy seems
to have been entirely omitted in the
moral makeup" Of the individual; but
human beings totally devoid Of this
element of worldly success are about
rs rare as brawnless living skeletons.
Given q single spark of energy, it may
be increased and utilized by cultivation,
just as an Insignificant amount of mus
Gle may be developed and invigorated
by proper exercise.
When other means fail, the sharp
spur of necessity will sometimes rouse
tho indolent from their apathy and
drive them ahead. The parent who has
tried moral suasion" in vain upon q
slow-going. cffortless son should place
him in q position where he must either
labor or suffer. When it depends upon
himself whether q man shall ''sink or
swim. survive or perish" in nine cases
out of ten he will strike out and swim.
If there is a particle Of the motive
principle in the human drone, privation
is pretty sure to render it active. The
individuals who are dead to all the
noblest incentives to exertion should be
subjected to the penal rule, HE that
will not work, neither shall he eat"
The terrapin il naturally dull traveller,
but if you put fire on his back he makes
extraordinary time for . sold-blooded
reptile, and a 'bone-lazy" youth may
generally be induced to bestir himself
by an analogous appeal to his sensibili.

them and politely asks to borrow a
dipper. The answer decides the fate of
the junkman. If a dipper with bot

It to bail water enough to swamp the
Junk, but il the bottom can be knocked
out and thrown at him he disappears.
In this last case the act must be accom-
plished by an incarnation, or the ghost
turns into a sea cappa-a many clawed

bottom.

serious matter. often one of life or

times the girl becomes an avenger and

spectators, and three pontoon bridges
were swung across the regatta course.
