ers' international union is in session here.
In speaking about the condition of the or
ganization President Perkins said: "We
have 80, 900 members in the United States
and Canada, and are about as strong and
prosperous as any labor organization. We
have 5000 in cash in the treasury, which
we think is pretty good fund. Our union
has the initiative referendum in its en-
tirety, and this convention possesses no
legislative powers. Everything that it
may propose in the way of legislation has
to be ratified by the local unions before
the action becomes binding.n

Animals Became Unmanageable and
Wound n Lion Tanner.
During the performance of the trained
bears and leopards at Hagenbeck's circus
in the Midway plaisance the animals be-
came unmanageable and began desperate
fight in the arena. Fritz Mas, lion
tanner. attempted TO separate them and
was attacked by the bears. Before the at
tendants could drive the maddened beasts
from him he was severely clawed and bit
ten. A physician was called in to attend
his injuries. The building was crowded
at the time and the audience became
greatly excited and panic was narrowly
averted.
With music, floral display, speeches and
the ringing of the new liberty bell, the
Pacific Coast people celebrated yester-
day the anniversary of the discovery of the
Pacific Ocean by Balboa. The bell was
encircled with oak leaves and California
flowers and the rope attached to the clap
per was adorned in the same manner.
The official woman's flag of silk fiuttered
in the cool breeze at the side of the bell
and outside the ropes several hundred
people stood to hear the bell and the
speeches The flower-clad rope was pulled
by Mrs. E. o. Smith, president OF the
California board of lady manager; Mrs.
A. NJ. Marsellus, vice president, and Mrs
Alice Houghton, representing Washing
ton state. A reception and lunch at the
California building followed.
The prize show of sheep and swine has
begun. In the sheep department there are
], 1,422 entries, representing thirteen classes
or breeds. Merinos lead with 27S. The
largest exhibitor is Z. d. King, of Burling-
ton, Kan, who shows forty merinos. There
are total of l .462 hogs entered for the
premiums, ranging from SS5 to $55 for the
best three or four of breed. Ohio leads
in the swine show with 242 entries; Illinois
next, with 214; then Nebraska, lss; Mis-
souri,, 14l; Indiana, 13S; and New York,
1874. The largest exhibitor of swine in one
class is E. B. Astbridge, of Cloud, Pa,
who shows twenty-nine Chester white
hogs.
Christian Eudeavor did not endeavor to
show up at the fair. The society was not
satisfied with the SABBATH closing and
declined to accept day. Yesterday had
been set apart for them, and their secre-

RELIABLE RECIPES.

PoACHED EGGs.-Salt the water we'll !;

broken egg from a saucer into it. Cook
one egg at a time, throwing carefully

FRENrH BEEFSTEAK. The French
have a way of cooking hccfsteak that is
quite different from the American meth
cd. 1t is as follows: Cut the steak,
from tillet of beef, two thirds of an inch
thick; dip this into fresh, melted butter,
lay them on 4 heated gridiron nd broi
over hot, clear Goals. When nearly
done sprinkle pepper and salt over them.
Have ready some parsley, chopped fine
and mixed with softencd butter. Beat
them together to a cream and pour into
the middle Of the dish. Dip each steak
into the butter, turning it over, and lay
them all around the platter. Now squeeze
few drops of lemon over the whole and
it is ready to serve.

quart of beans free from stones and dirt,

Ants In Africa.

A correspondent of the London
Graphic writing from Umtali, Africa,
says: Sir John Lubbock ought to come
and live here; he could rcvcl in ants.
There are millions and tens of millions of
them. The ground round our huts is
riddled with deep holes, the entrance to
white ants nests. These insects are ter
ribly destructive; leathern bag will be
eaten into holes in one night. l think
everything in the country would be de-
voured by them if it were not for the
black ants. These are quite half OIL inch
long, and they prey on the smaller white
ants. One suddenly sees a long black
line extending for thirty or forty yards
along the hospital compound. The
line moves with sharp, rustling sound,
like the crisp rustling of dried
leaves. One looks closer and finds that
the black line is an army of ants going
to storm a white ant heap. One ant
alone goes at the head of the column,
which is about eight inches wide. On
each side run single ants, bustIing up
stragglers and rushing to drag sticks and
straws out of the way of the army, which
streams down into the nest it has in view,
and in about ten minutes streams home
again in excellent order, each black ant
carrying a white one. 1t is a most curl
GUS sight. There are very few birds to
be seen; few golden orioles and some
dear little black and gray birds, the size
of tomtlh', are all that one comes across.
