progressed rapidly. Extreme excitement
prevails in the city. In the harbor dis.
tricts, the dock strikers will allow none OF
the non-unionists to engage In loading and
discharging the cargoes of ships. They are
waylaying them everywhere, and numer.
Gus excesses were committed in several
parts Of the city in consequence. A num-
Der Of strikers took possession of two
steamships and threw all the machinery
used in discharging the vessel into the
water. The police report four serious col
lisions with rioters. Several of the latter
were wounded.
The captains walk about the decks OF
their vessels, revolvers in hand, and ready
to shoot down anybody who dares mount
their boat unauthorizedly While the at
tention of the police is thus engaged,
crimes are committed in unusal number.
The civic guards and the artillery have
been ordered to protect the petroleum
tanks, as the strikers have threatened to
explode them.
Grave apprehensions are felt that the
strike may spread aud perhaps become
general, as in Belgium. II this should be
the case the government would have .

In spite Of the declarations by the gov

reigns In the harbor districts, and serious

The Human Family.

The human family living on earth
to-day consists of about !, 100000, 900
souls-not fewer, probably more. These
are distributed literally all over the
earth's surface, there being no consider
able spot on the globe where man has
not found foothold In Asia, the So
called "cradle of the human race"
there are now about S00,000,000 people
densely crowded, on an average of
about 120 to every square mile. In
Europe there are 320, 900, 900, averaging
100 10 the square mile, not so crowded
as Asia, but everywhere dense, and in
many places over-populated. In Africa
there are, approximately, 210, 900, 900,
and in the Americas-Norlh,S South, and
Central - 100000, these latter, of
course, relatively scattered over broad
areas. On the islands, large and small J.,
there are probably 100000 more.
The extremes of the blacks and whites
are as five to three, the remaining 700,-
100000 intermediate, brown, yellow,
and tawny in color. OF the entire
race 100000, 900 are well clothed-that
is, they wear garments of some kind
that will cover nakedness $50, 100000
habitually 90 naked, and 100000, 900
only cover the middle parts of the
body; 500,000,000 live in houses, 700,-
100000 in huis and caves, the remain
ing 250,000,000 virtually having no
place to lay their heads. London ET-

Types In the Midway Plaisance.

1t is in the exact degree of facial an
gle, as has sometimes been said, that
the difference lies between the poet
and the philanthropist, the criminal
AMI the saint. One is tempted as one
looks at these faces here, however, to
go even farther than this, and to say
that the degree to the angle has been
given by conditions outside the power
of the Enlightened individual to con-
troll, conditions that belong to great
epochs, to races, tribee, and nations.
Hungry generations have pressed these
sometimes down, while they have
raised others. In some faces you see
the submission of the ignoble, in others
the cunning of the trickster, or again
the alertness of the noble hunter. You
read nations history almost in the
facial angle. You BIZ gin to fancy, too,
you might discover it's capacities by an
old mathematical rule. For instance =,
if you wished to discover the mental
and moral capacities of race, the an
gle of whose typical face was pitched at
certain number of degrees, you would
square the animal man (the base of the
triangle), whose measure you would
find in the lower part of the face, and
square the ideal man (he perpendic.
ular of the triangle), whose measure
you would find running from below the
ear to the top of the head, add these
and extract the square root, and you
would have the mental and moral ca
pacities of the man-in other words, of
the race he typifes (the square of the by
pothenuse of a right-angied triangle be-
ing equal to the sums of the squares of
the other two sides). Leaving math-
ematical ventures quite apart, however,
one can hardly look at these faces with
out being impressed. 1t inspires one
to study, to contemplation, and to the.
DRY. 1t arouses anew in the mind of
every observer a sense of delightful
surprise that by doing so simple thing
as turning into the street of the Mid
way Plaisance one may find types of
wild nations that one has hitherto had
to roam the waste places of the earth to
see.-Harper's Bazar.

Bonanza Days Have Gone.

Times have changed on the western
slopes of the Rocky mountains since
the day when Philip Didesheimer, then
superintendent of the Ophir mine,
bought a sealskin overcoat and paid
$1,000 for it. Financial darkness has
settled on the region where at one time
men holding positions similar to the
one named drew all the way fiom 81 900
to $4,000 salary per month. Then no.
body was more prosperous than the
men who dug gold and silver from the
ground in Nevada, but now the summit
of Mount Davidson is occupied by the
lean spirit of economy. When Mr..
Didesheimer was bossing operations at
Virginia City he was paid from 81 500
to So 900 month for his services, and
he, like the other superintendent,
could afford to spend lavishly. One of
the first suptrintendents, Mr.. Palmer,
who had charge of Ophir, had an an
nual salary OF S25, 900 for several years,
and none of them received less than
$1,000 month. The other day the
salary of Superintendent Heating of
the Savage mine, who is one of the
oldest and most experienced mining
men on the coast, was cut down from
$500 to S2OO a month, and the other
superintendent will naturally have to
come to the same terms. William H
Patton, who was superintendent OF
Consolidated Virginia and few other
mines, received altogether from 81 ,25C
to 81 800 month for years. Charles
Strong of the Gould Il Curry, Hank
Smith of the Belcher, Mr.. Obiston, who
was employed by the Gould Il Curry
and other men long enjoyed salary OF
81 200 year. When the big Gould &
Curry mill was built the company gave
Mr.. Strong present of $4,000 as an
extra mark of appreciation for his ser
vices as uperintendent. That mill was
another example of the free manner in
which cash was disbursed when the
glory of the mines was at its height
Over eighty mills were running around
Virginia City at that time-the year
1S63-and when they first began the
charge they made was $50 ton. There
was a sudden drop TO $l5 ton before
long, and then gradually the price came
down 81 ton at time until the pres.
ent rate of SO ton ($7 a ton in some
mills) was reached. Even this rate il

Making sickness Pay.

Making sickness pay is something that
very few people could do 20 years age" said
Dr. Charles f. Bridge of Santa Fe, but
now profitable invalidism is within reach
of everybody. / never knew it, though, I'M
til recently was in New York two weeks
ago and met friend of mine, printer,
who said he was just out of a sick bed, to
which he had been confined for three
months extended my sympathy and in
cidentally suggested that the loss of his
wages must have been as severe blow al
most as the interruption to his health. He
surprised me by saying that he made money
by getting sick and staying sick He earns
$50 a week when sound, but when sick he
earns $50 week.
This is how he does it; His salary runs
on in the Office in which he works; he be-
longs to three benefit societies in the build
ing, each of which pays him $40 week
during illness, and he draws the remaining
500 in sick benefits from the Freemasons,
Knights of Pythias and Odd Fellows. He
pays 25 cents n week into each benefit asso-
citation and meets certain assessments made
occasionally by the three secret orders of
which he is a member. He can draw bene-
fits from the benefit societies as long as he
is sick, but the benefit paying period is linn
tied to 10 weeks by the secret orders. With
one weeks sick earnings my friend pays
the dues for whole year in all the organi-
cations to which he belongs-iSt. Loui

artist with the public. Every sensation of
nine was transferred into the audience; it
responded nstantaneously to my sentiment
and manifested its perception of my mean
ings by a low murmurng, by sustained
tremor. There was no occasion for retec-
ton, nor did the people seek to discuss me;
all were at once in unison and concord.

through every vein, and as if the audience
had been stricken dumb 10 seconds went
by in absolute silence. Then came tenn
pest of cries and plaudits and countless
summonses before the curtain, When the
demonstration was ended, the audience
passed out amid an indistinct murmur of
voices and collected in groups of 3, s or II

and spontaneous demonstration is among

Too Much Talk of One Kind.

One day there came off dinner to which
was invited lot of widely different people
Mixed pickles were nothing to this assem-
blage. There were Mayhowers and par.
venus, professors and green grocers, sit
erary fellers'' and college boys
Among the literary persons was a GER
tain lady whose large stock of information
contained something about every topic ex-
cept athletics. Baseball and football were
her vulnerable points. Naturally she was
rather annoyed to find herself sent out to
dinner with calow, sophomore looking
youth, whose first question was whether
she had heard of the changes in the crew.
Not knowing in the slightest whether the
crew in question was crew of thieves or
of sailors she looked interested and gasped
Mop That was sufficient. She had loosed
the foodgates of his eloquence. For two
hours he talked athletics. She answered
as well as she could, looked pleased and
once tried to change the topic of converse
ton by saying that the captain of the team
was a delightful fellow and came from such
nice family. But this straw was totally
unable to dam the river of athletic talk
She could only sit suffer, and when it was
over sigh with relief.
What was her horror the next evening to
Hnu herself again delivered over 10 tne atm
letic youth She was in despair. All the
way out to the dining room she thought
hard. When they were seated, she said:

people, and | shouldn't live through an
other two hours of boats and oars and foot
balls and bruises, so I'll tell you what We'll
do. Do you count 10 very SLOWLY, 2, 3, 4,

A New Story Of George Washington.

Here is new story on the father of
his country Washington's head gar
dener was man from some European
kingdom, where he had worked in the
royal grounds. But coming to Amer
lea he left his wife behind. Homesick-
ness for his "gude" woman's face soon
began to prey on him, and Washington
noticed the anxious eye and dropping
spirits of his servant. Finally the man
went down to the river and declared
his intention of shipping to the old
country, when who should come up and
lean over the side of the newly arrived
vessel but his wife. The k;nd-hearted
general had secretly sent for the
woman, and she fortunately surprised
her loving husband in one of his fits of
Observation-Disclosures Times.
