Birch BARK Shoes.

Shoes and other articles besides bas-
kets and cabinets are manufactured from
birch bark by the Russian peasantry.
The bark from which these articles are
made is from the inner skin Of the Rus
sian birch tree, common in almost all
parts of the empire. II is gathered
spring and fall, and the process is a very
simple one. An incision IS first made
around the trunk Of the tree, and the
peasants have q nack of tearing or un-
winding the bark from the starting
point, which gives them a strip Of even
width that they wind into q bali and
keep through tho winter until il is dry
enough to use. 1t is then made into
shoes, baskets and other useful articles
The banks shoes are universally worn
by the Russian %peasantry. Other shoes
used in winter are made Of Sleeps wool.
These are manufactured by itinerant
cobblers who travel from house to house,

portion Of the July coupons
has not yet been coshed, but this
was not SO whom the above item

that al these coupons have not
been paid are: FIRST, that large

citation in the price Of silver, wool,

made our people 50 poor that it is

and thirdly, that there is a

that it has been impossible to tell

are and which the illegitimate.

The great strike is over before
it fairly commenced. Mr.. Debs,
the man who failed as a lawyer
and tried to build up a name and
power on the influence Of the
working man, has again failed.
Every influence hat this man
could bring to bear to further his
own ends was brought. He evoked
the power Of Grand Master Work
man Sovreign,-and the x. Of
L. refused to recognize his as
sumed power. He ordered a gem
eral strickland Chief Arthur
voiced the sentiments of the rail
road engineers Zone of the most
intelligent, able and powerful OF
the railroad employees organiza-
tions) and publicly stated hat this
order was not in the strike. The
order of railroad conductors took
no part in Mr.. Debs' effort to
make himself the moving power of
the nation. When a fireman on
the Southern Pacific last week
refused to obey the S. p. Co.'S. or
ders TO, take a train out of Ell Paso
westward-out of sympathy with
the strike--the head Of his order
telegraphed him that the fremen
we're not striking against the S. p,
and to go ahead with his work.
and the train went west. What are
the causes of the sudden collapse
of this railroad strike which SO
aroused the whole nation?
Among the principal of them
are these:
First. The strike was not made
or recognized by the established
unions of railroad employees. To
be sure some members of the legit.
innate organizations Of railroad
employees were also members Of
Debs' famous Tor infamous) A. r,
u, and these men obeyed Debs.
orders, but many others (and most
of the best railroad mem refused
to recognize this self-made dicta-
tors mandates,and took no part il
the strike.
Secondly. Debs made an at
tempt to ruin the business of the
whole nation in order to gain sym
pathy for the Pullman strikers fol
his own ends. This seems 80 silly
that when one hears it in cool
blood it seems a supreme absur-
dity, but nevertheless it is what
Dsbs himself and his sympathiser'
stated. While men were hot and
angry the absurdity did not ap.
pear; but now hat the strike Ii
broken and the public can look a.
these things calmly it seems 81
absurdly foolish that we may as

attempt to explain away this crazy

denial or explanation will have II,

made, and will effect some pre-

Debs' criminally selfish efforts.
