English Mourning Edquet.

The period Of mourning for a father
in-law is twelve months-ten months
black two months half mourning; crepe
is seldom worn. although the crepe
period was formerly six months. For
a parent the period is the same as
above. The longest period for a brother
is six months-five months black. one
month half mourning. The crepe peiioo
was formerly three months; IL is now
almost discarded. The shortest period is
four months black, no half mourning
We may remark that the period OF
mourning for a father-in-law is often
shortened TO six months when relatives
reside at a considerable distance from
each other.-London Times.

Needless NoIre I'm cities.

Concerning noise. the New York Even
ing Post very justly says: There is no
modern city health board, and indeed
no modern city doctor who is not well
aware of the evil effects of incessant
noise on the vast and increasing multi
tudes who. in all the great cities now
live, one might say, by their wits. but
more accurately by their nerves." I'm
doubtedly the malady which we know as
nervous prostration is often induced and
always increased by the din which is
thus far an unavoidable incident of city
life. AS a mere health precaution, the
lessening of noise, and particularly of
unnecessary noise. is only prudence, as
much to be commended as the efforts
of cleanliness which boards OF health
are accustomed. and with reason, to
magnify. The subject Is not new.

A Terrible Turkish Massacre.

The Janissaries or Janezaries were
body of Turkish soldiers first organ
lied about 1890 A. D., by Sultan Orean
from the young Christian prisoners
The name is from the Turkish yeni
Rskari, new soldiers. The Janissaries
formed the earlier standing army of
Europe. They were at first highly
privileged and soon. attained great
power both in war and politics. In
1912 they raised Selim TO the throne
and caused the death of the famous
Bajazet; in 1S0S they objected to the
organization of any other army than
their own body and massacred all the
new troops they could. In 1926 Maho-
met H. suppressed them. his new troops

A DESPERATE FIGHT.
Encounter Of Britisher with an Indian
I'd

Encounter OF q Britisher with IN ln0lon
Leopard.
A striking illustration of British
courage and dogged persistence was
given by an officer in India. named
Apcher. in fight with leopard. He
was going round rock, following the
beast, which he had wounded, when
the leopard, meeting the hunter, dashed
at him. Apcher jumped one side and
fired: the shot only staggered the
leopard. The man started to run. but
before he could turn round the beast
was almost upon him
He struck the animal with the gum
as it was in the act of striking him, and
so warded off the blow from his head.
But the beasts claws from one paw
cut his right cheek and the other paw
knocked the gun out of the officers
hands.
With all his strength the man dashed
his right hand into the beasts mouth,
and with the left grasped him around
the throat. The leopard caught him
near the elbow and bit through the
forearm. Exerting all his strength
Apcher threw the leopard into a rift
between the rocks and on it's back
With his knee on its chest, one hand in
its mouth, the other grasping its
throat, he held the struggling animal.
His native boy came up with double
barrel gun.
Put it into the leopard's mouth and
fire." said Apcher.
The boy obeyed, pulled both triggers
and killed the beast, fortunately with
out hitting the hand The dogged
officers left hand and arm were much
injured: every finger of the right hand
was lacerated, the hand bitten through
and the forearm bitten in five places.

1t looks IS if there may be some dis
agreement between rival unions over
amendments to the constitution. AS
far as possible, orders affiliated with
the federation preserve their own
autonomy. Some delegates favor a
greater central power with more au-
thority than is now accorded. This
will bring up the old question of union
rights. There is little prospect of
change. however, in the federate con-

Secretary Chris Evans will then read
his report for the year. This shows a
heavy increase in active membership
and particular growth among the
cigarmakers, the garment-cutters and
! tailors and the mechanical trades.
Treasurer John 3. Lennon has also
now practically completed his report.
The federation's finances are much i'm
proved, owing to increase of revenues
and the readiness of affiliated bodies
to meet calls. The presidents salary
of eighteen hundred dollars year is
the largest individual item, showing
that the amount expended is small.
Even the per capita of delegate tax has
not been drawn upon.
On Tuesday general business will be
transacted. The standing of affiliated
bodies, conflicts between employers
and laborers and the question of child
labor will be considered. The impress
sion that Senator Palmer, of Illinois,
will address the delegates on this day
seems erroneous. He has not been
asked and is not expected. The orator
of the convention, outside of it's imme-
diate membership, will be Henry D.
Lloyd, of Chicago. He is the wealthy
scholar whose studies of the labor
question have given him eminence
abroad as we'll as in this country. His
''Strike of the Millionaires" received

same view. After all, it is working

Saturday, December 16, will; in all
probability, be the concluding day of
the convention. The election of officers,
according to the present drift of opin-
ion among the delegates, will result in
the choice of Mr.. Gompers to succeed
himself, thus giving him an eleventh
term. A majority of his co-adrninistra-
tors will, it seems, be reelected. At
all events there has developed no op-
position to Secretary Chris Evans,
First Vice President P. J. Mcclure, or
Treasurer John B. Lennon. Second
Vice President William A. Carney ap-
pears also certain of reelection.
