During the last coal strike,
most ofthe Virginia miners
remained at work 1t is said
that officials of the union IN this
STATE. have been requested by
the National officers to ascertain
how many miners would probably
go out in the event of a strike.
1t is understood thai the officials
think they made a mistake by
striking during the summer, and
that they are of the opinion that
a strike during the winter months
would result differently. A large
number of the non,union miners
in West Virginia have been or.
ganized during the past few
months. but whether or not they
would join in a general strike. is
o matter for conjecture.

The pernicious and criminal
practice of hazing at schools has
been sadly exemplified in the
case of young Charlie Butler, of
Shepherdstown, a son of DR.. G.
p. Butler. He sent his son, who
was the darling of his parents,
to the Episcopal High School
near Alexandria, Va, where he
received such rough and brutal
treatment at the hands of his
fellow students that paralysis
was the consequence. The youth
had to be taken home, and it is
feared that he is a hopeless
cripple.
Judge Maxwell was one of the
men who helped make history for
West Virginia and he always
said she would return to the Re
publican column.

1t is difficult thus early in the season
to fOretell with accuracy the fashions
likely to become permanent. Neverthe-
less certain indications are not wanting
The fact that all the shopkeepers have
been selling off so largely articles that
apparently were in the very van of the
present modes indicates that radical
changes may be expected. Were it prof
liable that the same fashions would con-
tinue for some time, handsome gowns,
coats, jackets and hats would not have
been procurable at such low prices as of
late. There is no sign of aggression on
the part of the crinOline, and fortunate
ly the indications are all the other way
The stiffened skirts of last season are
now in very small minority. For the
most part, skirts, though full, hang in
natural folds toward the feet, and We're

the majority of those who adopt them

have no room to discuss, but the one

ing argument.
A writer in The Housewife, without
attempting to convert readers to the two
bed system, proceeds to tell of the deco
ratiOns of two bed room.
No bedstead has SO much to recon-
mend it as a brass bed. 1t is not so very
expensive unless it has the heaviest posts
and highly ornate decorations. 1t never
ant guests and is more open to the free
circulation of air than any other. 1t
never goes out Of fashion, nor does it be-
come tarnished, since the lacquer with
which it is finished prevents that. All a
brass bedstead requires to become a per-
feet place of rest is a woven wire spring
and sOlidly packed hair mattress.
The ideal country bedroom has mat
ting on it's floor if marQueterie is out of
the question. Mating is not what it once
was, a coarse twisting material which
never by any ingenuity could be made -

now can be found dark blue, dark green,
red and yellow mattings for those who
want solid color, besides dozens Of
designs upon white and light colored
grounds. Such are all infinitely prefer
able to carpet for bedroom use, both
from a health point of view and as back
ground which they furnish for rugs,
whether costly eastern ones or simple
Japanese cotton ones.
In brass bedsteads there are many
styles and prices, ranging all the way
from elaborate ones, with canopies and
draperies, to simple affairs of light
weight and low head and foot rails.

Baked Eggs.

so as to keep the yolks whole, as many
eggs as you wish. Sprinkle dust of

butter on top of each egg, and pour over
them thin sweet cream, allowing ia

same dish they are baked in.

A New Form of Treason,

A new form of high treason will soon
be dealt with in the German courts. A
young man at Erfurt went before the
doctors and was examined for compul-
sorry military service. They found his
body tattooed with seditious sentiments,
which are described as insulting to the
emperor. Across his breast, for instance,
were the words, Down with tyrants!"
The authorities placed the young social
ist under arrest, and he is awaiting trial.

A COMFORTABLE BEDROOM.

Brass Bedsteads Are COmmended-The

The most appropriate style for a bed

amount of money spent in furnishing it.
The bedroom is the room Of all others
which should be sweet and cool and
clean. To be sweet and clean, taking all
the new fashions in microbes into con-
sideration, it is evident that stuffy cur
tains and thick all over carpets have no
place in this room. New ideas advocate

pictures, family portraits and the like,
and the sleeves that Sir Joshua Reynolds
and Gainsborough immortalized on their
canvases are to be seen at the modern
tea table and at homes. The fact that
these large sleeves give freedom to the
arms is in their favor, though it must
be admitted that the arms would be
equally free with less quantities of ma
terial. A pair of sleeves now demand
quite as much cloth as the bodice itself,
which shows that their proportion is all
wrong.
The sleeve known as "Medici" is
long and narrow. 1t is ornamented with
Louis XIII bows and vandykes in fancy
ribbon, the ends. finished with metal
tips. A wide puff of brocaded silk is
completed with collar of either lace or
embroidery, which falls from the neck

StOD Biting Thread.

Ladies who do much sewing frequent
~ suffer a great deal from soreness Of
the month and are at loss to ascertain
the cause of the trouble. Half the time
it is simply the result of biting off
thread instead of using pair of shears
for cutting. In the case of silk thread
the danger is quite marked, because it
is usual TO soak the thread in acetate Of
lead, partly to harden it and also per-
haps to increase its weight somewhat.
