P1TTsBURG, Pa, August Fort Frick,
the name given by the strikers to the big
plant of the Carnegie Steel Company, is

called in moment to defend an attack,
there are now IA coal and IRON police
men, trained to fight, and 100 deputy
sheriffs. The deputies and coal and iron
policemen are armed with both clubs

This preparation has been made in
view of the withdrawal of the larger part
of the militia and the possibility of the
early withdrawal of the remainder.

The Age of Some Temples.

Near Fort Yuma the mummy of an
ancient parsonage has been found in a
sitting posture in an artificial cave fac
ing the entrance, which is SO oricnted
as to admit to him the first rays of the
rising sun. On what day of the year the
rays are SO caught does not appear, but
from the date of the discovery it would
seem to be at or near the vernal equi-
nox. This is a matter of extreme in
terest- A scientific person is now en-
gagged in the investigation of the orienta-
ton of Egyptian~and archaic Greek
temples. In many cases he is able to
determine the star to which they were
directed and then, by an astronomical
determination of its place, fix the
approximate date of the temples foun-
dalton. That Stonehenge was ar
ranged in obedience to similar rule is
also known. The same motive has
been operative in Inca temples of Peru.
The present discovery, linking the
operations of the primitive mind on this
northern continent with that of
the other ancient races named is sig
nifcant. Should it turn out that
the construction of this cave does really
recognize the equinoctial position of
the sun, we perhaps have a novelty in
this interesting order Of observation.

The Robber Crow, Of ramasu..

The robber crows made such terrible
depredations upon his cornfelds that
Frederick Hormon, living near Tama-
qua, was forced to take extreme meas.
ures. He fitted up scarccrow with a
six-shooter, self-cocking revolver in
each wooden hand. In box in the
chest of the man image he placed a
strong clock to which he connected the
triggers of the pistols. He arranged
the connecting string SO they would be
wound up in a certain number of hours,
thus firing the revolvers. AS the crows
are worst at daybreak and as they are
fearful of the smell of burnt powder,
Mr.. Hormon arranged the pistols to be
discharged at ten-minute' intervals in
the morning. The experiment worked
like charm, for although none of the
crows were hit by the bullets fired
from the scarecrow, the shooting scared
them SO badly that they always, after
two or three mornings, few around

route and bothered him no more

important Typewriter Decision.

Judge Lacombe, sitting in the United
States Circuit Court here, has, on the
motion of the Remington Typewriter
Company, granted an injunction against
the agents of the Franklin, restraining
the sale of that machine on account Of
infringement of Remington patents.
The decision is an important one as It
proves the control of the fundamental
patents, and may affect other makers
of typewriters- The Remington people
have heretofore been quite passive, but
it is stated on good authority that they
are now likely to proceed against all
other typewriter manufacturing COM

HAVE YOUR SLEEP OUT.
Only In Rare Cases Is There Any Merit 4
Early Rising.

Only In Rare Cases Is There Any Merit In
EARLY Rising.
The fact is that early rising IL conn
mendable only when early rising is
necessary. Itmay broadly be stated,
In majority of instances, to be . mis-
fortune rather than merit. Granted
ones duties require him to rise very
early in the morning, and that. cores
pondingly, he is able to retire very
early at night, then the degree of hard
ship in the matter is reduced to the
minimum. To go to bed when the
birds tuck their heads under their
wings, and to rise with their earliest
Weakening chirp, is not so bad . thing.
Who that has seen the marvel, the
miracle. of dawn in the countryside
wonderful tints and tones of the sky,
the unrolling of the mists, the revela-
ton Of beauty on field on hill, slope and
river-can feel aught but envy of those
to whom this pageant is daily recur-
ring delight? But if one sits up till
midnight, occupied in study or in soc,e-
ty, and, conforming to his environment.
rises in leisurely fashion to some
what late breakfast; according to the
customs Of his family and his world, is
he therefore to be branded as slug
gard? May not the late risers engage
as fully and as successfully as the early
riser in the business of the day, the
chief requisites for success in which
are, perhaps, good temper, equable
nerves, prompt attention and brain
alert and quick to decide on matters of
Importance.
Thousands of people have no choice
whatever about their hour of rising in
the morning. Later or earlier, that
hour is fixed for them by the require
ments of the Office, the shop or the
classroom, by the time table of the rail-
read, by the arbitration of their employ
ers or the necessity of their employees.
But in the cases manifold where per-
sonal liberty is enjoyed it should not be
thoughtlessly restricted simply because
of the domestic tradition that early ris-
ing deserves praise and late rising
blame. breakfast may often be n NOV
able feast without materially disturb
ing the routine of an orderly house
keeping day. Invalids, mothers whose
rest has been broken by teething ba bies,
and. above all, rapidly growing chill
dren, should have their sleep out. Ma
ture demands this, and violence is done
to her when sleepy people are rudely
aroused from their beds. Early to bed
is the single safe prescription to insure
early to rise.
We need to repeat it over and over to
our hurrying, anxious, toiling Ameri-
can men and women: Rest, rest, and
again, rest. Do not think time i'll spent
that is spent in repairing the ravages
of our wellnigh incessant activity
