THE PULLMAN BOYCOTT.

The avowed object of the railroad boy
colt is to compel Mr.. George M, Pullman
to reopen his car shops, which have been
closed because the employees would not
work for the wages Mr.. Pullman Of
fered. Like every other industrial es-
tablishment, Mr.. Pnllman's is run to
make money. Like every other it has
felt the effect of hard times. The rail
roads have been economizing, and con-
sequently have been ordering fewer cars
than usual. The competition of other
car building establishments has been
sharp, with the.result that prices have
been forced down below actual cost. Bv
reason of few orders and low prices, MIR.
Pullman's establishment has been losing
money rapidly for many months past.
1t is obvious that if Mr.. Pullman had
believed that these conditions were 90.

have voluntarily closed up his establish

Establishment in a condition to b> able to

when it came, he could afford to make
some sacrifice. But the sacrifice his
workmen demanded was more sAt n he
was willing to make, and consequently
ne closed his establishment. Now let
us examine the process by which it is
hoped to compel Mr.. Pullman to make
the sacrifice his workmen demand-that
is, reopen his works and pay the same
wages that he was paying in good times
One of the chief reasons that Mr.. Pull
man could not pay the wages his work
men demanded, was lack of orders. Now
to boycott Pullman cars and tell the
railroads that if they use them their
business will be impeded, does not seem
to be a very good way to increase his

The tariff bill has at last got out of
committee and before the Senate. 1t is
to be assumed that all the amendments
that were likely to give rise to much
discussion were settled in committee so
that the early passage of the bill by the
Senate would seem to be assured. In the
House, however, it is likely to get an
other overhauling and to be sent to a
conference committee for final revision.
When it will emerge from there, or what
its form will be. it is useless to under
take to predict.

Inc Black Bear ana HIS winter quarters.
One of the most curious things about
the Black Bear (and the grizzly and Gin
namon also) is the way he goes into snug
winter quarters when winter has fairly
set in, and lies dormant in his den with
cut either eating OF drinking until the
next spring. This is called Information;
and during this period the ordinary
processes of digestion seem to be entirely
suspended. In our semi-tropics bears do
not hibernate. but Nature undoubtedly
planted this instinct in the brain of the
bear of the North to enable him to sur
vive the severe winter period when the
SHOWS lie deep, and all food is SO scarce
that otherwise he would be in danger of
starvation. This period Collaboration
is from about the middle of December to
the middle of March. 1t has been stat
ed that if bears have plenty of food they
will not hibernate even in the North !,
but this is a mistake. | know of at least
two instances wherein bears in captivity
have "holed up" in December and re-
manned dormant until March, in spite
OF all temptations of offered food. The
natural instinct was SO strong that it re-
FUSED TO be overcome by appetite alone.
There is another very curious thing
about the Information of the Black Bear.
His den is usually hole dug under the
roots of either a standing tree or an up
rooted tree, but it may be i'll a hollow
tree, hollow log, or more frequently a
miniature cave in rocky hillside.
Sometimes he makes t. bed of leaves and
moss ter himself, but often he does not.
In 81 oiing up" under the roots of tree
he is frequently completely showed in,
and under such condition, the warm tn

freezes ON the inside of his den, and

ture of his breath. AS n result, he often
wakes early in March to find himself a
prisoner in a hollow dome of snow and
ice, from which he cannot escape for
days, and where he is often found self
trapped, and shot without the privilege
of even striking blow at his assailants.
And there is where Nature serves poor
Bruin mean trick. l have never seen

THE CENTIPEDE.

Every now and then one reads in the
newspapers frightful story about a
centipede. According to these accounts,
the animal is just bit more dangerous
than rattlesnake Not only is its bite
fatal but it carries poison in the little
claws with which its numerous legs are
terminated. Crawling over a mans bare
death, for then the creature will dig its
envenomed feet into the victim, who
will presently De reduced to the condition
of a loathsome ands bloated corpse.
All of this is purest fable.
An expert in centipedes is attached to
the Smithsonian Institution. He knows
all about the creatures and he says that
the bite of one oil these animals is less
poisonous than the sting of the scorpion.
That it could ever kill anybody is most
unlikely. The claws are sharp and I'M
pleasant to the feel when a centipede
walks over the bare skin, but they have
no venom. There are two distinct types
of centipedes. One of them may be
termed the true centipeded type, with a
flat body and only one pair of legs on
ca Oh segment. The largest forms are all
poisonous Whether the smallest ones
are SO is undetermined. The jaws of
this kind of centipede are perforated by
channels which convey the poison into
the wound made by the bite. The action
is somewhat the same as in the case of
venomous serpent.
The other type of centipede is built on
the thousand leg plan, and attains a
length of ten inches The biggest in
this part of the world will not exceed
five inches. 1t las four legs to each
segment, and sometimes as many as
sixty-fve segments. 1t is easy to count
up how many legs that makes. Though
not as many as 1908, they are sufficient.
This style of centipede is never poison
Gus. Centipedes feed on rotten wood and
other decaying vegetable material They
live in the ground and among rotten
leaves and wood.

SCORPIONS AND CENTIPEDEs.
Their Stings Are Not So Dangerous As Is
Commonly Reported.

No, l don't believe that the sting of
any scorpion would kill a human being.
save, perhaps, under extraordinary con-
ditions. In southern ATTITUDES wounds
of any kind are more dangerous than in
cooler climates, and the setting in OF
fever may produce fatal results"
The speaker was DR.. George Marx of
Washington, who is recognized as the
greatest authority on arachnids in this
country
Scorpions are tropical animals" he
added. They do not get very far north.
They live under the bark of long leaved
pines in the northern part of their range,
and, inasmuch as trees of that kind do
not occur in this vicinity, they find no
suitable domicile hereabouts. Such
pines grow in Baltimore county, Mary
land, and so a species of scorpion exists
there. 1t is yellow with brown stripes,
and measures about two inches in
length.
"The biggest scorpions in the world
are those of India which attain a length
of six inches. In California scorpions
four and one-half inches long are found
They are the largest that occur in Amer
lea. Between them and the smallest
species are many. The sting of small
one is about as severe as that of wasp,

cENTIPEDEs AS RooMMATEs.

In some parts of the world centipedes
are regarded with superstitious venera-
ton. A friend of the writer's once visit
ed Buenos Ayres, and engaged room at
boarding house. He found eight large
centipedes in his quarters before he. went
down to dinner. Having killed them,
he informed the landlady of the circum-
stance. She expressed the utmost grief,
and declared that the destruction of the
creatures would take away all good luck
from her esta Enlistment for eight years
to come-one year for each centipede.
Centipedes, as well as great spiders,
are sometimes brought to this country
from the tropics with fruit. They are
often found hidden in lunches of
bananas. Scorpions make the voyage in
the same way. A naval officer told the
Star writer that in warm ATTITUDES big
scorpions are apt to get on board ship
and conceal themselves in shoes or other
garments. 1t is not pleasant to put ones
arm in the sleeve of coat and to find
an unlooked-for scorpion there. The
arachnid, if fresh intruder, is likely to
be very much more poisonous. and its
bite correspondingly more severe, than
after it has been on the vessel for a
while. Washington Star

THE SCORPIONS STING.

The scorpion carries it's tail over it's
back and snaps it backward for the
purpose of inficting sting 1t has two
poison glands side by side in the last
joint of It's tail. 1t is said that scorpions
will commit suicide by stinging them
selves TO death when they are put into a
circle of burning charcoal. I don't
know whether this is true or not; the
question has not been cleared up.
Scorpions live on beetle larvae and
slow-running insects. They conceal
themselves under the bark of trees in
the daytime and pursue their prey at
night. The whip tailed scorpions =
SO called because of peculiar appendage
of which the use is not known-are not
poisonous. For the purpose of defense
they squirt fine streams of fluid that
smells like vinegar. Doubtless it is
offensive to some of their enemies"

Every day the papers contain statements
similar to the above. Even youth is no de-
tense against heart disease, and the awful
rapidity with which it is claiming victims
forces upon all conviction Of its prevalence.
Reader, if you have a symptom Of this
dread disease do not hesitate a moment in
attending to it. Delay is always dangerous,
and in heart disease too often fatal. Some
symptoms of heart disease are shortness Of
breath, Auttering, or palpitation, pain or
tenderness in left side, shoulder, or arm, ir-
regular pulse, smothering, weak or hungry
spells, fainting spells, dropsy, etc.
