ly. In England which, by the way, al
most supplies the world-the number Of
men employed is about 1900. The trade
is rather scattered, though by far the
greatest part is done in London, where
in the east end it is carried on exten-
sively. The workmen are chiefly drawn
from the poorer classes Of st. Luke's,
Finsbury, Shoreditch, Whitechapel and
Bethnal Green, in which parishes the
principal workshops are situated. The
trade is strictly season one. 1t is among
the first to feel depression and among tho
last to recover. A large number of the
men employed earn on the average fair
living, especially those in the largest
houses, who enjoy, as rule, the most
regular employment.
But large section Of the trade paws
bad wages-in fact, in some cases it is a
mere existence A great quantity Of
sticks produced by these latter are
manufactured in dwelling houses-nay,
in the very living rooms, though in this
respect there is gradual improvement
going on. The people among whom this
state Of things exists are mostly small
manufacturers who work on their own
account. In busy times it often happens
the man is compelled to work nearly all
night in order to get the work done in
time for payment on Saturday. 1t has
been known for wives and even chill
dren's help to be put to account. This is
true when the trade is busy, which is
generally from March to November,
when elack time begins and continues
with more or less abatement till the fol-
lowing spring. g.-Chambers' Journal

~ chssEbsard Brain.


The most wonderful deformity in the
human brain that bus eyer been noted
by the scientists and made a matter of
record was that Of the phenomenal chess
player, Richard Rockwoode. Rockwoode
could play 10 games Of chess simultane-
ously, but no more, not even being able
to begin on the thirteenth. After death
his brain was carefully examined by
skilled anatomists, who found in the re-
gion known to phrenologists as "local-
ity" that the molecules Of that portion
of the brain had actually arranged them
selves into a combination of squares re-
sembling chessboard and that each Of
these squares had certain marks upon it,
supposed to represent the final positions
Of the pieces. in the last 10 games played
by the great expert while he was blind
folded. The doctors who make this won
derful report declare that it is true in
every particular, but that the arrange
ment Of the atoms Of the brain into the
chessboard squares referred to could
only be distinguished by microscopes Of
the highest power.
More than 40 years ago, when Sir VIII
liam Dean Bakker made an examinat
of the brain Of Forbes, the shipbuill
and reported that the molecules Of the
brain had arranged themselves the
"gray matter" separating from the other
constituents of the brain and Ginning

he was only laughed at. The Rockwoode
investigation proves that Balxker knew

DREAM.

I ldreant that over the winter world
The winter winds were signing,
And into the orioles empty nests
Tho fakes Of snow were flying.
The 1tncs along tho garden wall
W4th orystal ioe were cleaning.
And IN the garden dull and bare
The summer flowers were dreaming.
The snow lay deep over witherod grasa
The ekies were cold and gray.
And slowly the dreary night came on
TO end the weary day.
I woke. High up In the orchard bougI :.
A hundred birds were singing,
And In the birch trees pleasant shade
The srioles' nests were swinging.
Along tie river, tall and green,
l eswthe rushos growing.
And daisy petals white as snow
Amonk the grasses showing.
The flowers held the sunshine hrixAt.
The breezes were at play, i,A
And swiftly the dreamy night came q
To end the happy day.

We Owe the Hat to Asia.

We owe the hat to Asia, for it was in
that country that the art of felting wool
was first known, and from the most re-
mote periods the art was carried on by
the orientals. In India, China, Burmah
and Siam hats are made of straw. of rat
tan, Of bamboo, of pith, of the leaf Of
the Tallport palm and of large variety
of grasses. The Japanese made their
hats of paper. The modern hat can be
traced back to the petasurs worn by the
ancient Romans when on journey, and
hats with brims were also used by the
earlier Greeks.
It was not until after the Roman con-
quest that the use Of hats began in Eng
land. A "hatte Of biever," about the
middle Of the twelfth century, was worn
by one of the mobiles of the land. Frais-
sort describes hats and plumes which
were worn at Edwards court in 1910,
when the Garter order was instituted.

VIsALIA, April 30.-The Visalia and Sc
QUOTA Mil stage was stopped yesterday aft
ernoon by Evans aud Son;ag. The stage
was on its way to the mill, and about six
miles from it. The bandits came out of
the brush with leveled guns. The four pas
sengers were commanded to get out aud
empty their pockets. Finding that thepas-
sengers were not officers, they ordered them
forget back into the stage and drive on.

mechanics. ~
TIL label was sold only to those manu-
facturers who employed white men exclu-
sively.
No complaint against the label was made
by the manufacturers, as they found that
they were benefited by its use.
When it was designed there were 5000
Chinese cigar-makers in this city.
Now there are not 1900, and the cigar
manufacturers have notified the union that
on and after to-day they will not buy any
more labels.
The reason for this departure is not
known, but is believed by members of the
union to be the first step in a scheme
to disrupt their organization, concocted By
the Employers Association, made at
time when the trade, owing to

took them and smoke to the girls who broke
into run, and soon reached the drugstore.
They looked anXiously around as they came
out of the siore, but failed TO see their pur-
suers, and started home with the medicine,
walking rapidly.
just as they passed the bootblack- stand,
on Eddy, near Powell street, the two men
who had chased them coming down the
street sprang out, and one of them grabbing
the smallest girl, Stella Lewis, in his arms,

CURE FOR CHOLERA.
The Remedy Which Is Used With
Good Results i'm Egypt.

St Louis Post Dispatch.
Mr.. Lane, an Eastern traveller and orien-
talist recommends the following treatment
for cholera:
He says while residing In Cairo in 1543
while cholera was raging there he was in
formed that there was an Englishman in
small neighboriDg village that effected
speedy cure in all the cases which he
had an opportunity of treating. The
number of cases were sixtY-two. and many
of them were malignant. II subsequently
learned that his mode of treatment was
practiced with equal success in Spain,
Constantinople and India. and was never
followed by typhus or typhoid fever, which
proved fatal in many cases. When the
cholera itself bad been subdued by other
means, upon applying to him | re-
ceved the following directions, which l
practiced in a few cases which occurred in
my house and elsewhere with inyarable
success.
IF the patients have not vomited this
poisonous matter which is characteristic of
the disease and which resembles rice
water give tablespoonful powdered mus
tard in tumbleF of cold water as an
emetic. After vomiting, whether pro-
dneed by the disease or the above means.
within a few minutes give wineglass full
of brandy with ten grains of capsicum,
powdered Cayenne pepper. stirred up in it.
ms generally produces almost lmmedl-
ate relief and within an hour rest, perspra-
ton and sleep. In a few cases it was.
found necessary TO give half a dose.
of the brandy and capsicum after half an:
hour or more. A second half dose was
never required, but should it be required il
may be given. No other fluid should be
drunk before recovering. To accelerate
cOnvalescence it has been suggested that
fifteen drops of mixture of the spirits Of
ammonia and sulphuric ether in equal
parts may be advantageously given three
or four times during the following day.
The above quantity of brandy aud capsicum
is for an adult patient suffering a severe
attack; in other cases two-thirds or half
that quantity may suffice, AS have proven
by experience"
