ScorTDA1E, PA. April 16.-Another break
in the ranks of the coke strikers occurred
to-day. The Summit plant ofFrick Il Co.,
which shut down when the riotlng began,
resumed this morning with forty-eight
men or about one-third of the men neces-
sary TO run the works in full. Labor lead
ers who denied that the Tyrone works
were in operation with full quota of men
now admit that it is true. Frick reports
more men at work to-day than any day
yet. The best evidence that the Frick
Company is making coke is found on the
books Of the railroad company. Seventy
two cars were shipped last Saturday and
104 yesterday.
Reports have just come in that the men
remaining out will take secret ballot this
afternoon 10 determine whether to remain
out or return TO work. II is said the feel

Champagne Glasses.

If you go into tirst-class art gal
lery," uptown, nowadays, and order
a bottle Of champagne, it will be
served to you in a thin straight-up-
and-down glass,in the bottom of which
is fine pointed star in bass-relief.
Look into the glass and you will see a
Kaleidoscope group of sparkles dane
ing on this STAR producing very
pretty effect. Something about the
star seems to attract the sparkles. The
use of this star is for purpose, ac-
cording to connoisseurs. If the wine
IS poor. the star causes the sparkles to
soon die, and the wine becomes flat
and vapid. But, if it is good, then
the sparkling is intensified. So deal
ers in good brands of champagne serve
it in the Summarized glasses at pres
ent, and this fad will last until
something else is introduced. N Y.

AnnihiIating the Forests.

Says Western lumberman: "The
signing of contract for 600 million
feet of pine in Minnesota should serve
as a reminder that the fear of Ameri-
can forests giving out is far from be-
ing an imaginary one. l have been
handling lumber by the 10000 feet for
two-thirds of lifetime, but the figures
in this deal took me by surprise, and
it was some time before / could realize
them. The supply of lumber in the
North is steadily giving out, as the
figures for Michigan in particular
show. Ten years ago the annual out
put or product was just about the size
Of the great Minnesota contract just
signed, for single companies, but the
aggregate totals for 1890 barely reached
these figures. We are lavish and ex-
travagant with our lumber now, but at
the present rate of consumption there
will be precious little left to consume

Talleyrand and NapoIeon's Minister
of Police.

Talleyrand has narrated how he and
Napoleon were startled by the move
ments of the police while they were
plotting the overthrow of the Direct
DRY. In the Century occurs a passage
concerning his plot for the restoration
of the Bourbons. and how rude an in
terruption he again experienced. this
time from Napoleon's Minister Of
Police.
''One evening in February. 1914,
several visitors we're gathered in my
drawing-room among them Baron
Louis, the Archbishop of Malines, NJ.
de Pradt M. Dalberg and several
others. We chatted of things gener-
ally, but more particularly of those
momentous events of the times which
naturally occupied every mind. Sud-
denly the door was flung open, and,
without allowing the footman time to
announce him, General Savary, the
Minister of Police. rushed into the
room, exclaiming: All! That is how
/ catch you all. in the very act of con-
spring against the Government! De-
spite the would-be serious tone of his
remark, we soon saw he had meant it
as joke while endeavoring, in the
mean time. to pick up some little item
with which to swell his police reports
to the Emperor. He failed, however,
to discomfort us, and the state of things
justified but too fully the anxiety we.
each and all. expressed to him con-
corning Napoleon's perilous situation
and the consequences that might result
from it. I am rather inclined to be-
lieve that. had not the Emperor fallen,
General Savary would not have failed
to bring under his notice the boldness,
and what he looked upon as the clever
ness, of his conduct on the occasion.

still holds good in Afghanistan, says
the Sheffield Telegraph. In fact, the
manners, customs and surroundings of
the Afghans of to-day might be proto-
typed in the pages of the old testament
as faithfully rs the life of the Israel
ties. The Afghans are Mohammedans,
it is true. but their religion is built on
old law lines and their social life is as
simple and patriarchal as when the
great lawgiyer Moses ruled the des-
TIMES of the people of Israel.
For in Afghanistan Of to-day oxen

and the pillow itself is counterpart OF
