Reverence for the Beard.

Former reverence for the beard is well
illustrated by the story told of Sir Thomas
More, who was beheaded for denying the
supremacy Of Henry VIII. His usual
cheerfulness did not forsake him even on
the scaffold. Help me up" he said to
one standing by; 'for my coming down let
me shift for myself" Ashe laid his head
on the block he begged the executioncr to
wait moment while he carefully placed
his beard out of the reach of the ak, for, he
said, 1T hath not committed treason .
which reminds one of the story Of Simon
Lord Lovat, who, the day before his execu-
tion on Tower hill, bade the operator who
shaved him be cautious not to cut his
throat, as such an accident would cause
disappointment to the gaping crowd on the
mOrrow.-English Illustrated Magazine

A BAD TIME TO STRIKE.
RAILWAY ORGANIZATIONS TO HOLD
A CONFERENCE.
The Object Is to Form Federation to
Prevent Strikes During the
Worlds Fair and Thus
Avoid Disaster.

CEDAR RAPIDS, To-, Dec. 25.-All the
railroad organizations, with the exception
OF the switchmen, are, it is said, to
once more form themselves into an
amalgamated association. A meeting
for the purpose of this amalgamation
will take place here December 2Sth, and
will be composed of the following broth
erhoods Railroad employees. Locomotive
engineers, locomotive firemen, train
men, conductors, and telegraphers. It
is said that the object of this amalgama.
tion is to prevent any railroad strike
that might occur during the time of the
worlds fair. 1t is feared that if the
various brotherhoods were left to
their own discretion, and in
view of the dissatisfaction al
ready existing among the organizations
strikes would ensue on many prominent
roads OF the country. Such conserva-
tive labor leaders as Arthur of the To-
eomotive engineers and Ramsey OF
the telegraph operators. who held
q conference on the subject some
time ago, agreed that if any
organization went out on strike during
the fair, public sentiment and prejudice
would be 30 strong that it would end in
the dissolution of these organizations.
Every state in the union will send one
delegate each of the five orders.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Dec. 25.-
Grand Master Sargent Of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen was in
terviewed regarding the alleged feder.
alton of railroad labor organ
izations. He stated that a confer
ence has been called to meet at
Cedar Rapids, Wednesday, December
2sth. 1t will not be composed OF state
delegates, but only committees chosen
by the several railway orders.
He says while the meeting ia called
to consider the question of federation,
it can not at this time take definite ac-
ton, since whatever action may be
taken will have to be referred to the sew
eral orders for ratification,

Bislnarck and the Erenchman.

little more than quarter of century
ago a wooden leg nearly changed the
course of European history. A year or SO
before the war between Prussia and Den
mark, which preceded the great struggle
between France and Germany, Bismarck
was staying at Biarritz. One morning,
accompanied by huge dog, he was walk
ing on a road which runs along the base of
cliff protected from the sea by a low wall,
when he met an old French naval captain
with wooden leg, powerfully built and
of peppery temper The dog became un-
duly attentive to the captains leg, and the
Frenchman struck at the animal with the
butt of his fishing rod. Bismarck swore,
and the sailor replied in the same dialect.
From language they came to blows, and
in few moments Bismarck found that,
strong as he was the angry Frenchman
was lifting him bodily on to the parapet of
the wall. Another minute and he would
have been in the rapid current of the sea
below, and what would have been the
course of European history during the last
twenty-five years? But at the critical mo-
ment help arrived-by the irony of fate in
the shape of an equerry of the Emperor
Napoleon-the timber toed veteran was de-
feated, and the unification of Germany and
of Italy was secured.-All the Year Round.

The Burmese Game of Chess

The Burmese game seems to be rather a
heavy variety of chess, the popularity of
it being that pawn queens" when it
strikes an imaginary diagonal line drawn
from the players left hand corner to the
right hand corner in front of him-his op-
ponents left hand corner. The pieces are
massed on the players right hand, but the
three privileged pawns-there are only
three allowed to queen" = can only
queen" when the queen has been taken.
We should say here that no piece equiva-
lent to our queen really exists in eastern
chess, the most powerful piece being equiv
alent to our rook, or castle.
In the Burmese game the privilege of
translation confers no higher rank on a
piece than that of 'chekoy''-called queen
in European equivalence by virtue of its
being unique--a piece possessing scarcely
more power than a pawn. The usual move
of the piece called queen" in all oriental
varieties of chess is one square diagonally.
and it is never one of the superior pieces.

an appeal for aid for the famine suffer-
ers in the province OF Tula. There are
173, ,00G persons in the province depend.

an utter failure, and the condition of

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.--The national
relief committee of the United States
has prepared statement showing what
the people of this country have done for
the Russian famine sufferers. The
statement points out in detail what diff
ferent sections of the country, begin
ming with the northwest, contributed.
The efforts of individuals, commercial
bodies and railroad and steamship COM
panies are mentioned, and high
praise is accorded to Clara Bar
ton for her work in arousing
the general public, and especially the
state officials and people of Iowa, to &C.
tivity, which resulted in sending to Rus
sia ships freighted with stores from the
corn-producing states. The money sent
directly to Russia was $4,000 and over by
Iowa; $1,000 by Russian settlers IN Ne
braska; $3481 by the South Dakota COM
mission, and several large amounts by
eastern people.

Character in the Feet.

In the form of the foot the sexes differ as
much or even more than in that of the
hand. A woman's foot is usually narrower
III proportion than mans, while his will
be considerably stronger in the ankle and
more powerful in the formation of the toes
especially of the ball of the great toe.
When woman owns strong, firm, wide
foot many of us experience perhaps nc
sensation OF surprise at finding her
strong minded;" when man trips along
upon a delicate little foot people instinc.
lively believe him to be lacking in power.
and often put him down as effeminate.-

A LABOR UNION VICTORY.
Belonging to an Organization Is no Just
Cause for Discharge.

Belonging to an Organization Is no just
Cause for Discharge.
MACON, Ga, Dec. 25.-Judge Emery
Peer of the United States court rem
dered decision yesterday in the case of
the striking telegraphers on the Cen
trail railroad, against the receiver.
Judge Peer said that the fact that a
man was member of labor organiza-
ton was no reaaon for his dis
charge. On motion of the strikers
asking the court to reinstate them in
their position, Judge Peer decided
in their favor as far as to order the re-
ceiver to replace all the men except
where their positions had been filed.
In one sense this is a complete victory
for labor organizations, inasmuch as it
establishes a precedent that laborer
cannot be discharged for the sole reason
that he has allied himself to labor
unions.

Mazatlan on the City of Sydney this
morning en- route to San Francisco, says
the San Diego Sun. They have been
looking over mining properties on the
west coast OF Mexico and around Santa
Rosario, Lower California.
They report that German prospec-
tor, name unknown, was killed by a
premature blast, 60 miles east OF Mazat-
an, Mexico, two weeks ago.
Prof. w. L. Keys is erecting large
gold mill and pumping works on his
mine in the same locality; the ma
chinery is already on the ground.
Graber, Fisher& Look have purchased
very valuable silver property at San
Ignacio district, 125 miles northeast of
Mazatlan, the consideration being $780,
600, $4,000 Of which was paid last
week, and they are on their way to pur-
chase machinery for mill in San Fran
cisco.
G. w. King has also consummated
the purchase of the famous Joya group
OF gold mines in the same locality, and
is also en- route to make arrangements
for putting machinery on them.
The FELTON, Brothers 10.stamp mill is
running steadily on ore from their mine
in the Capalla district.
The celebrated Tahoe mine at Ro-
sario made an output of $l65 900 in gold
and silver last month.
Americans are bonding every gold
property in the country, and New York
capitalists are very active in their search
for these properties.

New YORK, Dec. rs The Herald's

received here regarding Monsignor
Satolli have somewhat dampened the
previous enthusiasm. 1t ia perceived
that the gulf between Monsignor Satolli
and the American bishops will be
harder to bridge over than supposed.
The vatican, however, hopes with time
and patience to conquer the objections
OF the bishops to it's plans and convince
them it has no desire to lessen their
legitimate authority. The pope's mind
is set on the adoption OF his plans.
President Harrison is understood to
have viewed the idea of opening diplo-
matte relations with Rome more favor
ably than Mr.. Cleveland.
