vorE for your favOrite teacher.

IT is reported that there is to be q
simultaneous strike of walters in
twenty-three cities, and if the report
is verified landlords and landladies
will have trying time of it. Just
think of such an event as the striking
of so many table helps on thesame day
and without any notification to the
hotel and boarding house proprietors.
1t is bigger thing than it appears to
be at first sight, for in most cases there
is hardly the possibility of an escape
from most embarrassing dilemnas.
The cause of the intended strike is not
stated,

GERMAN DAY at the Fair was a
success in every sense of the word. 1t
is the red.letter fete day of the exposi-
tion thus far. Chicago has a large
German population, and the Father
land is admirably we'll represented in
every department of the big show;
hence it is not surprising that Ger
many "csme out strong" on the day
specially set apart in its honor. The
crowds were immense, and all the ex-
ercises, in which the enthusiastic
Germans took part with true TeutOnic
enthusiasm, were brilliantly success
full, There will be other great days at
the Fair, but German Day will main
tain high rank among the festival
occasions which the Fair managers are
bound to encourage by every means in
their power.

THE following extraordinary bit oi
Information is taken from a French
paper Of late date: "In The United
States the idea was suggested Of man
ufaeturing pure tobacco smoke like
gas, and laying it on like gas in build
ings of various sorts. If this idea was
carried out the air of hospitals, thea
tres, churches, law courts, sick rooms
would cease to be poisonous and would
become fragrant and exhilirating.
The tobaccO-scent bottle and the
tobacco meter would, between them,
revolutionize everything connected
with smoking. Filth, poisons and
disease would be replaced by purity,
cordials and health. Cigarettes,
cigars and pipes would disappear.
Smoke would supersede scent in
Romlsh ehapels and stufiiness in
Protestant churches. Indignant
ladies might even be found complain
ing that the pew, the opera box or the
railway carriage was not pervaaed
.s.eugh by the deodorizer."
