SECRET MEETING CALLED.
Striking Linemen Will Convene Tonight
To Take Further Action.


Grand Chief Master Miller, of the Ma
tional Brotherhood of Electrical Workers,
has called a meeting of the striking line
men, climbers and inspectors from all
parts of the State, to be held this evening
at Kelly's Hall. The object of the meeting
is not known.
The Paterson men went out on strike
yesterday, and the New York and New
Jersey Telephone Company is pretty well
crippled by the loss Of its men. All the
Jersey City strikers, save six, have secured
employment with other companies. These
six are paid at the rate of 50 per day, to
act as pickets and keep the officials of the
brotherhood notified as to the proceedings
of the company. President Watson, of
Local Union, No. 3, said this morning
that the New York linemen in the employ
of the company would not be called out
unless it was deemed absolutely necessary
to secure the success of the strike.
The strikers are acting in an orderly
anner and are confident of victory.
Superintendent Nee ully declines to dis
cuss the situation.

near the Temple, whence the name,
Knights Tempiar. These two Knights
were Hugh de Payen and Jeoffrey st.
Omar. They were so poor that they went
into battle on one horse. The order OF
the knights Iemplars was formed by
them. The order thought as much of
faith as did either the FRANCISCAN or the
Dominican monks, but they didn't take
monastic VOWS. 1ney showed zeal, not
in the convent, but IN the field of strife.
Their aim was to helpless and to succor
aged men, women aud children who
needed aid The order became a favorite
with Doth chur' n and state. The symbols
of the order are a red Cross upon the left
breast and the chapean and gauntlet.
The order grew until its were
no longer called "the poor soldiers of the
Holy City," and In the thirteenth CEN
fury there were 1900 manor houses
and lands to shelter them. They
numbered among them the best blood of
Europe. and their leader was greater
than the Pope. Two millions of them
laid down their lives TO protect Jeru-
salem. 1t is not we'll to under-rate chiv-
airy. Perhaps there is a comic side to
errantry, but we must not hail with
laughter the good Knights.
There may nave been hypocrites
among them. but we believe the most of
them TO have been rs sincere in their de-
vot1on to their work and as faithful to the
Cross as any virgin saying her prayers at
an altar. The meaning OF the red cross
is self-sacrifice. They used to give up all
to help the helpless and to try aud leave
the world better for their having lived.
The Ascension was necessary. As a
balloon filled with lighter fluid than air
must rise. so Christ, who abandoned
Himself to others. rose, filed with celes-
tiai manhood. Levitation was stronger
than gravitation. The spiritual oveI came
the material. Fight hard. Sir Knights
against the many social evils. Let not
the symbols of the order suffice FOL but
live their meaning"
After the sermon the knights arose and
the closing hymn was sung. L. was "Oli
Coronation" and every one sang it with
vim. DR.. Brett pronounced the benenic-
lion and the knights recovered aud drew
and presented their swords while he re-
tired. They then returned them, and,
headed by the band, They marched back
to the lodge room, followed by their
friends, several huddred OF whom had at
tended the servics. Among them was
Col. J. ]. Toffey, Past. Right Eminent
Grand Commander OF the c~oinmandsry.
DR.. Brett also oliowed them TO the hall.
When they arrived there they found al
elaborate banquet spread for them.
After the banquet an Informal reception
was held and the people sat around in
groups chatting over their ice cream n
coffee, while Sir Knight Seeley, ente r.
tanned them with selections on the pia no
They spent a most enjoyable evening.

How He Knew.

Before the fish commissioners of
California decided to stock the
streams of the State with that much
despised but powerful fish, the Ger
man carp, they were greatly con-
cerned as to whether it would live in
certain waters. The question was
debated at several meetings, and was
finally submitted to Professor H,
an eminent authority.
Samples of the water were obtained
and turned over to the professor, who
in short time submitted a favorable
report, and the carp were accordingly
turned loose in the rivers.
The commissioners were greatly i'm
pressed by the professors knowledge,
but one of them had question to ask.
"How could you be sure that carp
would live in the water submitted to
your" he inquired.
"Why," answered the professor,
with an amused look, Il bought a
carp for ten cents and put it into the
water 1t lived"

Roanefort and Its Cheese.

Cheese, which has been the fortune
of Roquefort, has destroyed its pic
turesqueness. 1t has brought specu-
lators there who have raised great,
ugly, square buildings of dazzling
whiteueSs, in harsh contrast with
the character and somber tone of the
old houses. Although the place is so
small that it consists Of only one
street and a few alleys, the more
ancient dwellings are remarkable for
their height. 1t is surprising TO see
in village lost among the sterile
hills houses three stories high. The
fact that there is only a ledge on
which to build must be the explana-
tion. What is most curious in the
place is the cellars. Before the cheese
became an important article Of COM
merce, these were natural cayerns
such as are everywhere to be found in
this calcareous formations; but now
they are really cellars that have been
excavated to such depth in the
rock that they are to be seen in as
many as five stages, where long rows
of cheese are stacked one over the
other The virtue Of these cellars
from the cheese-making point of view
is their dryness, and their scarcely
varying temperature of about 81 c.,
summer and winter.
But the demand for ROquefort
cheese has become so great that trick
cry now plays part in the ripening
process. The peasants have learned
that "time is money" and they have
| found that bread crumbs mixed with
the curd causes those green streaks
Of moldiness, which denote that the
cheese is fit for the market, to appear
much more readily than was formerly
| the case, when it was left to do the
| best it could for itself with the aid
| of a subterranean atmosphere. This
is not exactly cheating; it is CONNER
cial enterprise, the result Of compe-
| tition and other circumstances too
strong for poor human nature. In
cheese-making bread crumbs are
found TO be a cheap substitute for
time; and it is said that those who
have taken to beer brewing in this
region have found that box, which
here is the commonest Of shrubs, is a
cheap substitute for hops. The no.
tion that brass pins are stuck into
ROquefort cheese To make it turn
green is founded on fiction. Temple

A small hoop placed between the
slaves near the floor will make them
more firm, and coat of paint or var
nish will complete quite presentable
little table.
A kind of round cabinet table can
also be made by saving out zigzag
panels in the sides above the lower
hoops and inserting a round shelf in
side at this level. Put a round cover
on the top and paint it white, first
filling the cracks and imperfections
with putty and rubbing down with
sandpaper.
The cabinet Of shelves is built Of
well-selected barrel heads, whose
parts are held together by a broad
cleat nailed on the under side of each
head. These are supported by -four
upright pieces, with grooves sawed in
the edges at different levels. Brack.
cts strengthen the frame and secure
the shelves properly. The edge i:

ornamental decoration about three
inches deep
A useful stand may be made Of a
barrel sawed in half lengthwise and
resting upon framework of plain
boards with shelf below. This may
be filed with earth for winter win

hinged on for a table and be draped
with cloth to hide the barrel shape,
which affords a spacious receptacle.
Still another may consist of two
ends of barrel with the heads in
each part being sawed off just at the
second hoop Through four holes in
the lower one run the supports Of the
frame and let the top part rest upon
their ends Some small brackets
under each barrel head will strength.

An Elephants sunshade.

On hot summer days in New York,
when the mercury is well up in the
nineties, it becomes almost a neces-
sity to carry an umbrella, or shade of
some kind, to protect ourselves from
the burning rays Of the sun. We
should hardly expect, however, ma
tive of India-residing In this city
to have the same need for a sun-shade,
particularly when the native is a huge
Indian elephant. That an elephant
should feel the heat in our climate
seems rather absurd, but as he does,
it is quite in keeping with the gen.
eral intelligence OF this animal that
he should invent some means of pro-
tecting himself from it.
The elephant Enclosure in Central
Park contains no trees nor shade Of
any kind, and on those hot days when
the heat is almost unbearable, it
seems hotter there than any place in
New York. Grouped around the in
closure are usually scores of persons,
many with sunshades and umbrellas,
intently watching the elephants.
Some of the huge animals are care
fully tossing hay upon their own
backs, whilst others, whose backs are
almost covered, may be seen peace
fully resting. Newly mown grass is
what the elephant prefers for this
perhaps because it feels
cooler than hay, but hay answers
the purpose very well. How many
visitors to the park on these warm
days have realized that they were not
the only ones carrying sunshades, and
that the elephants were protecting
themselves in like fashion,
The fact that elephants never at
tempt to thatch their backs with hay
during the winter although the same
opportunities for doing so exist, seems
to prove that they use the hay as a
protection from heat. They may
sportively throw a little hay about,
but nothing more. However, in fly
time, there are good and sufficient
reasons for the animals adopting the
same means of defense again; there
fore. when the flies are fierce, the
elephants cover their huge backs as
on hot summer days. st Nicholas.

Publication of Sewage.

The Engineering Record quotes the
reported results of investigations
made by officers of the Hygienic In
stitute of Munich upon the growth of
certain plants in the River Isar as
indicative Of the process Of self-puri-
flcation in that stream in its down
ward flow after receiving the sewage
of Munich. Prof. Won Pettenkofer,
che chief of the bureau, believes that
In running streams moderate guam
tity of human excreta is decomposed
and rendered harmless in the course
of few miles Of flow. He suppOses
this does not depend on mere dilution
or subsistence, but on the velocity of
the stream, and particularly on the
presence of free oxygen in the water
this being connected with the action
Of green algg and other water plants
Observation shows that a peculiar
form Of vegetable life, sometimes
called the sewage fungus, grows lux
uriantly about a mile below the point
where the sewage enters the Isar,
abounds seven miles lower down, and
disappears farther off. The inference
Is that after about twelve miles Of
flow the turbulent stream Is so far
purified from heterogeneous organic
matter that IL no longer contains
enough of 1t 10 support the growth OF
the sewage fungus. Also 10 has been
found that at the mouth OF the sewer
the cubic centimeter OF fluid cOn-

lshed 10 5000, and a mere trace a

Effective.

There is a kind of repr0Of that
seems very gentle, and yet cannot be
forgotten-like this one, chronicled
by the Kenebec Journal.
"A section boss on the Maine Gen.
trail Railroad was sitting idly by the
station when the manager of the line
stepped off a train, and asked him II
he needed more help. The boss was
taken by surprise, but answered
promptly that he didn't.
"The manager walked down the
track few rods, picked up two
bricks, and removed them to their
proper place.
"'Every time l have passed here
for several weeks, he said to the as
tonished loss, i have seen those two
bricks lying there, and | thought
maybe you hadn't help enough.
with that he mounted the train
and moved off, waving a pleasant
gOod-by to the section crew, who will
never no never, be caught in that
way again"
