THIS is an age of odd conceits. TIL

THIS is an age of odd conceits. The
other day young matron was proudly
displaying new ring just sent home
from the jewelers., 1t was a gold
band with raised setting, in which
was what looked like a very white
pearl, although rather opaque. Specu-
lation about it was finally set at rest
by it's owner, who proudly stated that
it was "Claribel's first TOOTH" Claribel
being her only child, little miss of
four summers. When the tiny grinder
fell out it was taken to a jeweler, who
cut off the root, shaped and polished it
and mounted it as ring. "And no
jewel could be half so preciousT' was
the doting mothers fond conclusion.
Which sentiment, however sincere in
occasional cases, will be pronounced
by many as a rather disagreeable if
not positively morbid one.

The raw materials of the textile indus
tries also showed decline. Cotton OF
course fell as it did here, about four cents
pound. Flax fell off $3.50 ton, jute re
manned the same, while MANILA hemp
made the astonishing drop of STA, or very
nearly one-half Most of the principal ar
ticles of food are of course somewhat high
er, just as with US, result caused by the
partial failure of the grain crops in Europe
last year.
The question suggested by these figures
is this: If prices declined so much in Eng
land without any tariff law. how can 6
much slighter decline in the United States
upon some articles be claimed as result
of the Mckinley act?

Equal to the Emergency.

Acitizen popped out into his garden
at very early hour, and turning cor
ner discovered Patrick in the act of dig
ging up a lot of vegetables. Patrick,
seeing the game was up, advanced to-
wards the proprietor and said: 1.-THE
top Of the morning to your honor! And
what brought your honor out SO early
this morning?"
Indeed, Patrick, just strolled out
to see if 1 could find an appetite for my
breakfast" Then, eying Patrick with
some suspicion, he queried: "And now
Patrick, pray tell me what brings you
out so early in the morning"
"Indade, your honor, just strolled
out to see if could find a breakfast for
my appetite. ''-Ha%tford Post.

THE impression is quite general that
creole is one who is of French and
Span ish parentage, but, properly speak
ing, acreole is any person born in this
country of foreign parents. But as
the word comes from the Spanish and
the French and was first used in
Louisiana, it's meaning has been re-
stricted SO that lit is applied now only
to Louisianians of French or Spanish
descent. The word comes from the
Spanish criollo, from the verb criar, to
beget, to create.

Decline of Prices in England.

The Republican journals which are now
claiming that the Mckinley law has re-
duced prices upon the admitted fact that
some prices, chiefly of articles the duties
on which were not raised by the Mckinley
bill, are now lower than they were two
years ago, would do we'll to extend theil
observations beyond the limits of our OWL
country. If they would, for example, in
vestigate the course of prices in England
they would find that general downward
movement had taken place there. A late
number of the London Economist gives
the prices of many staple articles in that
country on Feb. l, 1890, and compares
with them the prices prevailing Aug.
1892. The table of The Economist shows
the following changes, the figures being

THE history of strikes in the United
four years to make it centenarian. The
initial strike of American labor was that
of the journeymen bootmakers of Phila-
delphia. 1t was repeated in 1898 and
1899, the object an increase in wages.
In 1903 occurred the New York sailors
strike. Here the strikers compelled
other seamen to leave their ships-a step
that caused the muster of the town
guard, the arrest of the leader and the
ignominous failure of the strike. In
1905 the shoemaking guild of Philadel-
phia repeated their previous expert
ments, but were fined for "conspiring
to raise their wages" In 1909 the New
York cordwainers initiated their Phila-
delphia brethren of st Crispin. In 1916
the shoemaker laid down his awl and
last at Pittsburg, and ended his claim
for higher pay by getting on the wrong
side of the Jail door, and contributing to
the city exchequer. In 1921 the printers
inaugurated their first strike at Albany
N. Y, AS protest against the employ
ment of non-union men. The agitation
for shorter hours was started in 1880 al
Boston. In 1884 the laborers- on the
Providence railroad made a wage de
mand and were subsequently handled
by the local militia. 1885 saw the frs
big mill strike at Paterson, N. j., re
sulting in twenty-six weeks idlenes
and loss of $24 900 in wages.

One Million Votes Stronger.

Mr.. Cleveland received 627.216 more
votes in 1888, when he was defeated, than
he did in 1884, when he was elected. But
this, although fattering, is not a sure in
dication of the rate at which his popular
strength increases. The events of the past
two years make it likely that the returns
of the great Democratic victory next No
vember will show that he is at least l 900,
600 votes stronger than he was in 1885,
