This is the time Of year when school
children begin to tie silk handkerchiefs
about the throat. It is not well to do
this, il one can possibly do without the
mufliing for if once begun, 1t must be
carried through the entire season, or
colds will result Then, too, covering
the throat is apt to make 1T sensitive
The muscles of the throat can be
strengthened by reasonable exposure.
But singers and speakers should always
cover the throat after singing or speak
ing, when going into cool room, or into
the open air. A light bit OF lace, or any
open-work covering for the neck that
will admit of ventilation, is the best
protection.

A Pennsylvania railroad man says
young men are selected as the drivers Of
locomotives on fast trains because old
men do not have the nerve to stand the
strain of the terrible speed OF these

gets afraid of them after awhile. Then
they get to letting up in speed, the
trains run behind time. the engineers

The "Komodore," he of the Lake
House, is as happy as a clam these
days. So we take it this "ancient
mariner" is doing well. But what
puzzles the SITTER is to know how a
man who dwells on the borders of q
lake, where pickerel and bass stick
their noses out in every shady place,
could be so oyster hungry as to spell
it Oryust! Something must be wrong
with him, piscatorially, if not other
wise.
How is it, Komodore? Did you
dream that for ten years you haC
been editing country weekly ant
living on salt junk and Johnny cake
If so you are forgiven, otherwise yol
deserve a place beside that silen
corduroy road-at the bottom of thu

Nothing can be learned here, however,
that will bear out the story, all banks
denying knowledge OF such i ship

A DYING ORGANIZATION.
The Great Amalgamated Asso cation
Disintegrating

Plttsburg, Pa, Sept 16.-"The Pitts
burg division of the amalgamated as
ISOLATION of iron and steel workers is
today but Il skeleton of its former self
and is in demoralized condition. y
The above remark was made today by
a prominent member of { the order
while i'll conversation with party of
mill workers. Out CT siNty-four iron
and steel mills in the PittsburS district
thirty or more are beiTg operated on
a non-union basis. Five years ago more
than majority of the mills We're
working under the amalgamated ass,
citation rules and rates. The first q
vision of the Pittsburg district containA
thirty-five mills, of which thirteen are
outside of the amalgamatel association.
IN the second division of the PittSburS
district there are twentynine mills,
fifteen of which are not governed by
amalgamated rates.
A probably greater menace to the
future of the organization lies in the
very uncertain financial outlook. The
loss to the organization of SO many
mills means a corresponding loss from
the per capita tax and dues, i'll fact
the only sources of revenue. 1t is quite
likely that several more mills will be
added to the non union list. Today
Brown 4 Co., operating the Wayne
Iron works, announced that the scale
would not be signed this year, and
that work would be resumed on Il non
union basis Monday. The rod mill scale
at the New Castle iron works was
signed today at 10 per cent. re-
duction. The mill will resume Monday.
