convention held in New York few

some unusual characteristics. That

The capsizing Of a vessel tied up to a
pier is common enough in the Bay Of
Fundy and its tributary streams. The
usual rise and fall Of the tide along that
bay is from forty TO fifty feet, and high
tides sometimes exceed sixty feet. With
the fall of the tide all craft are left
high, but by no means dry, with an area
Of chocolate colored mud all about them.
This mud is too shifting to hold a yes
sci in safety, SO each pier is provided
with one or more strong wood frames
called shoes, fixed at the bottom of the
stream or bay.
Upon these shoes all vessels rest at
low tide. It frequently happens, how
ever, that vessel does not get her shoe
snugly on, 80 to speak, and if strong
wind comes when she is thus i'll bal
anced, over she goes into the mud, to be
buried forty feet under the next rising
tide.-New York Sun.

The Employees Belonging TO Labor Organ
nations Confer with Readings PresI-
dent

dent.
The committee representing the en-
ployees Of the Reading Railroad sys-
tenn, which has been in Philadelphia
for several days awaiting President
McLeod's return from New York, held
a conference with him Friday to learn
the policy of the company toward its
employees. The committee said they
had no grievances, but want the rules
in regard TO the employment Of new
men changed.
The particularly Objectionable clauses
are the refusal of the company TO EN-
ploy new men unless they join the
Reading Relief Association, to which
the company contributes 100000 per
year, and the refusal of the company
20 employ new men unless they are
not members of any labor organization
and agree to not become members.
President Mcleod talked about the
company's reason for this stand, and
the conference ended after half an
hours session.
The committee then held a secret
meeting at the st. Charles Hotel. En-,
gineer Clapp, Of the Jersey Central
road, who is chairman of the commit
tee, presided, At O'Clock the session
ended, and Chairman Clapp announced
that the conference with President
Mcleod was not altogether satisfac
tory, and that there would be another
and probably final one on Monday.
A member of the committee said tn,
present trouble was all due to thu
blanks issued 10 applicants for EN-
ployment, which read thus: "Are yol
a member Of labor organization and
II so, what onel" "If a member, vii

Never wear a nice pair of shoes when

Have an old pair to wear under rubbers,
and thus save your good shoes and enjoy
the comfort the older ones give. When
soles are worn thin use insoles--they
will save. both shoes and stockings.

The tutelar deity of cats was Diana,
and according to Plutarch the cat was
not only sacred to the moon, but was an
emblem Of it. Hence cats were treated
with peculiar consideration in the land
Of the Pharaohs, the death Of one being
regarded as a great family misfortune.
Egyptian cat funerals were celebrated
with the greatest pomp and ceremony,
their late owners showing respect by
shaving off their eyebrows and wearing
sackcloth for nine days. In the time Of
Moses it was a capital crime to kill a
cat, and we are told by Diodorus how a
Roman soldier who killed one was tried,
sentenced and finally put to death. st.
