A Postomce Strike.

All the clerks in the postoffice at Van
couver, B. O., went out on strike Mon
day. The trouble has been expected
for some time. The postoffice here is
"farmed" by the postmaster, who, by
keeping down salaries, makes $4,000 a
year, which is equaled by the salary of
only three postmasters in Canada. The
lady clerks have been getting $25 a
month, and one male clerk, married,
gets $35 month. The clerks asked $40
for ladies and $50 to $40 for men, which
would leave the postmaster about 81, 500
a year. Victoria's postmaster, being on
the civil service list, gets only s., 900 a
year. Postmaster Miller refused posi-
lively when the scale was first pre-
sented. Lady clerks are expected to
dress at least neatly, and how they can
do it on $25 month and pay their own
board is mystery.
The mail from the east today was
eight hours late, and the sight of the
big sacks and the thought of the China
mails to get ready tomorrow brought
the postmaster to time, and he agreed to
compromise.-Cor Seattle Post-Intelli-
gencer

Health and women's Clothing.


Physicians, who are generally mar
ried and realize the futility of discus
sion, rarely protest against women's
clothing. But recently so conservative
medical journal as The Lancet has
something to say against the immaculate
fit given to women's riding habits, and
to the airy, crownless structures which
women call bonnets.
Women's riding habits now so closely
follow the configuration of the form that
they increase danger by lessening the
freedom of movement in case of acci-
dent. The tightly fitting skirt is held to
be more dangerous than the loosely flow
ing skirt, and the snug fitting body al
lows for too little clothing to be in any
sense healthful. AS to bonnets The Lam
Get announces in advance of the fashion
journals that next fall and winter large
beaver bonnets, the models of which
have been submitted to the editor, are to
be worn, and is congratulatory that the
question of hygiene is now SO prominent
in the public mind that it has at last
touched women's head gear.

Senator Paddock, of Nebraska, has
undertaken the task of explaining to the
public how it is that Benjamin Harrison
is not so widely loved and SO intensely
popular as his political supporters could
wish he were. According to Senator
Paddock it is impossible for a man oc-
cupying the responsible position of presi-
dent of the United States to loosen the
cookies of his heart and cultivate warm
friendships. He must of necessity be
absorbed in meditations on the welfare
of his country. This explanation might
meet the case better were it not that
Benjamin Harrison has lacked the ele-
ment of popularity from his boyhood.
Few public men ever had a smaller cir
Gle Of personal friends than he when he
was in the United States senate.

Six Brave Woman

The leader of the convict women of
the Andamen islands, who saved six
men from drowning last November, has
as reward been released from Jail.
Her five companions have obtained pro-
motion and remission of their sentences
for bravery. These six women, it may
be remembered, showed great courage
when the Indian marine steamer Enter
prise was wrecked opposite their bar
racks. They rushed into the surf and
holding on to one another formed a
chain out to where the survivors of the
crew were struggling for life. The
women fought bravely with the waves
which were up to their necks, and in
spite of the danger of being submerged
persisted in their task until the men
were ashore.-Exchange.

How Papa Lost His Fish.

A prominent member of the Loom
Fixers' union went on a fishing expedi-
ton Sunday, with good results. He
caught nice mess of cells, which he
carried home and placed in the sink,
intending to cure them after he looked
out for the interests of the inner man.
In the meanwhile his little son, while
amusing himself with papas game,
pulled up the sink lid and the eels one
by one glided silently into the depths OF
of the sewer.
When papa went to clean his fish he
found the boy with a tishline through
the sink, apparently angling.
Inquiry elected the fact that the fish
had "runned away" and the diligent
son was trying to recapture them.-New

Thirteen ut Table.

The widespread superstition concern
ing the unlucky thirteen at table, ac-
cording to which one of the number is
doomed to soon die, doubtless has its or
igin in the fact that at the last supper
there were that many persons assembled
at the table with our Lord. In that in
stance Judas lscariot was the one who
gave up his life, not, however, from any
superstitious notion regarding the num-
Der in question, but from remorse at his
dastardly betrayal of his Lord and Mas
ter.-Detroit Free Press.

An Innovation in the Marriage Service.
1t has always been the custom for a
bride to be 'given away" either by her
father, which of course is obviously nat
ural, or in case of his death by the near
est male relative. At recent English
wedding, however, the brides mother,
who was a widow, walked with her
daughter up the aisle and took the place
at the rear of the wedding party COM
monty occupied by the father, and when
the clergyman announced the usual
formula, "Who giveth this woman to be
married to this mani" it was the mother
who stepped slightly forward and made
the little gesture of remuneration, which
in her case must have meant SO much.
1t was dignified and fitting innovation,
and should be generally adopted in those
cases where the mother is the only sur
viving parent.-New York Tribune.

The Offices Women Get.

There are number of Nebraska wo-
men acting as county superintendents
of schools. 1t is noticeable that the
counties electing women to this office
are usually on the frontier and sparsely
settled. The duties of organizing, visit
ing and directing in such counties are
infinitely harder than in counties where
greater population, more money and
consequently better teachers are pres
ent to aid. But the women struggle
bravely with all obstacles and every
where give satisfaction. When the
county grows so that the office is worth
having, from political or financial
point of view, the men condescend to
accept it. When the educational history
of Nebraska is written, these pioneer
women superintendent should have ex-
tended and appreciative mention.-Ne-

Consistency.

The height of consistency in material
things at least seems to be reached when
lampshades are kept on hand to con-
trast or harmonize with different gowns.
An up town young woman finds that the
various gauze and chiffon draperies with
which the piano, banquet and boudoir
lamps of her luxurious home veil their
glare offer on occasion jarry tones of
color to some choice toilet. So she has
provided several sets of shades, compris-
ing range of tint from which it is easy
to select suitable accessory to any
gown in her wardrobe.-New York Let

London Women Coming to Like Flats.

A very significant change has come
over Londoners of late years with regard
to certain form of residence known as
flat" Not many years ago the idea
of living in fiat was so little appreciat-
ed that apartments of that kind could
hardly be said to exist at all in London.
A few unwieldy blocks of buildings
were built after the American fashion,
but SO little did they suisn.. the English
taste that for long time they remained
almost empty and tenantless, notwith-
standing the fact that they then added
very low rent to the other advantages
that they offered to their occupiers.
Now during the last three or four years
the inhabitants of London seem to have
suddenly changed their minds and flats
cannot be built quickly enough to ac-
commodate the numbers who are look
ing for them.
Whole streets of flats, in some cases,
have been constructed, and have been
taken by eager tenants even before the
builders had vacated them. Indeed, an
inquirer for flats the other day, who
was willing to pay very fair rent for
very modest requirements, discovered
that, unless he could speedily make up
his mind to take the unfinished article,
he had no chance at all of inhabiting
the article when it was finished, SO very
much greater was the demand than the
supply. That the supply is making gi-
gantic strides to overtake the demand is
evident to any one who has lately
watched the building operations in our
streets, and the gradual rise of great
blocks of red brick bearing the prema-
ture inscription, Residential flats to be
let" On the whole, we do not think it
would be an exaggeration to say that,
whatever may have been the increase in
the number of houses in the metropolis
during the last twenty-five years, the
of flats must have increased
more than a hundredfold. - London
Spectator.
