Queer Strike of Operatives in Peculiar
Partisan Industry.
''One of the queerest strikes that have
ever taken place here says a late
Paris letter, sis that of the so-called
Machabees, or fishers for dead bodies,
who ply their trade on the Seine, be-
tween the Billancourt bridge and the
Auteuil viaduct. The reason why they
have struck is because of the slowness
with which their money premiums are
paid. Father Joseph, the senior mem
Der of the guild, has been fishing for
Machabees for the past twenty-five
years, but he is now idle with his com
panions, as he has not been paid for
the last batch of corpses sent to the
morgue, and for which the government
is indebted to him to the extent of
fifteen francs apiece. Last year the
trade was bad, but this year the
morgue has been literally OVERLOOKING
with bodies taken out of the river, and
in one day alone Father Joseph fshed
out no less than five. Not having re-
ceived his money he has, with his COM
panions, laid down his ropes and Crap
pling.irons and moored his boat to the
wall until the officials whose duty it is
to remunerate him see their way to or

The ability to seal" letter correct
" is said to be one Of Che lost arts. In
the good old days Of goose quilts, loose
sand for blotting and fine sealing wax
for adhesive purposes, delicacy and
dexterity in putting the wax in the
right place without burning ones fin
gers was necessary part OF q liberal
education. Nowadays the art has all
most passed out of remembrance. Here
is the correct method of sealing LETT
ter: When the letter is ready lay the
seal on the table, at your right hand.
and in such position that when used
the impression may be square and right
side up Then hold the wax above the
flame of the gas or candle, but not near
enough to burn. When the wax has
been gradually softened apply it, with
a circular movement, upon the place to
be sealed; rub it well around and down
until you have circle of proper size
and thickness. The wax, still soft has
cooled sufficiently to take clear inn
preston. Hold the envelope little
distance from the flame until the wax
has again become soft. Then moisten
the seal and apply it. The result will
be clear-cut impression. There will
be no adhesion of wax to seal, no
breakage, and no irregular wax strings
hanging about the paper. The letter
can not be opened without destruction
of the seal itself, which, in old conven-
tional style, will serve as remem-
brance Of the sender and of the secur-

Butte IS a great section for colonies for
fruit-planting. Following the first fruit
fair, which was organized by F. W. Fogg,
have been formed Thermaito, Palermo,
Pleasant Valley, Villa Verona, Rio Bonito
and various others, which gave such an
impetus to horticulture that there were fully
$4,000 acres planted.
1t is significant that in Butte the mean
annual temperature is 65 degrees. or de-
krees warmer than the mean annual tenn
perature at Rome in Italy.
Land that will produce the rarest and
best citrus and deeiduous fruits may now
be purchased at prices ranging from $50 to
$50 an acre.
Such are some of the most patent ad-
vantages which Butte County offers to the
laborer, mechanic, farmer, horticuturist
and capitallst.

Here too can be seen cotton and peppers,

Among the fruits is a ripe Casaba melon,
formerly an Italian product, but grown in
Butte now for twelve years. This specimen
has been taken from the vine nearly four
months and is in prime condition still. In
Butte these melons are considered the only
variety worth eating, but they are little
