The old familiar pewter pot is disap-
pearing from London public houses, and
its place is being taken by the cOntinen-
tai glass. Just now the public control
department of the county council is test
ing beer glasses at the rate Of so, 600 q
month. Every one must be stamped be-
fore it is allowed to be used. Glasses are
frequently found to be under measure
and in that case are ordered to be de-
stroyed. No definite reason can ne as
signed for the diminishing popularity of
the pewter pot, but glass IS not only
cleaner-it Is also a more exact measure.
Pewter is liable to be indented and for
this reason may be condemned by the in
spector of weights and measures.-Lon-

Mr.. Horsey's bicycle and then charged

and thus gained sufficient time to make

The present federal law on the ques-
ton of arbitration was enacted by con-
gress October 4, 1888. 1t provides for a
commission Of arbitration in differences
between railroads and their employees
provided both parties to the controversy
consent to submit their differences to the
board One member of the board is to
be selected by the railroad. another by
the employees, and the third by the two.
The act also provides that the presi-
dent may select two commissioners one
Of whom at least shall be a resident Of
the state or territory in which the con
troversy arises, who together with the
United States commission Of labor shall
constitute a temporary commission for
the purpose of examining the causes in
controversy, the conditions, accompany
ing the best means for adjusting it; the
result of which examination shall
be Immediately reported to the presi-
dent and congress and on rendering
such, services Of the board shall cease
The law provides for nothing but a re-
port and gives the board no power ex-
cept to make an investigation. The
proposed arbitration will thus be the
giving of a stone when bread is asked
for. The American people viii not
rest at this, however. The O'Neill
law is inefficient, but it is a beginning.
1t must be followed UP by q genuine
compulsory arbitration law. The warn
ing the people Of this country have re-
ceived in the A. r. U. strike is sufficient
to show US that we can not afford to ap-
proach SO close to bloody revolution
again. We may topple over the preci-
pice next time. It behOoves US to see
that a good serviceable arbitration law is
passed at the next session Of congress at
least, if not At this one.

The pope has presented to the Vatican
library what may be regarded as a real
treasure It consists of a manuscript
given by the celebrated Fra Giocondo of
Verona to Lorenzo de Medici, known in
history as the Magnificent. " Vasari,
in his life of Fra Giocondo, writes of
this work and notes that Politan makes
mention of this book in his 'sNugge-
liane' and describes the author as the
most learned man of the old days. -
This work had been lost for long time,
and its recovery now is looked upon as
fortunate. The name of Fra Giocondo
crops up from time to time in the more
recondite studies of the Italian renais-
sance-that period when learning, sci
ence and art made such immense strides
in the highest degree of excellence. He
was known as a man of great learning
and is sometimes compared with that
most remarkable scholar and marvellous
artist, Leo Battista Albert. Chicago

River Gambling For High stakes.

''There used to be heavy gambling on
the Missouri river as well as the Missis-
sippi in the halcyon steamboat days, -
said W. D. Camera, a travelling man,
the other day. 81 remember a great
gama once played on the steamboat

the wharf in ST. Louis It was in the
antebelIgm days. when Kansas City
was comparatively unknown
AT one table the fight for big pot
had narrowed down to two men-one
an inveterate gambler, the other a
stranger, whose destination was the lit
tie town of Robidoux. Presently the
gambler said, III raise you $40, 600
and give you just 3 minutes to call
me- The gentleman who was going to
Robidoux replied: L don't need 5 min
utes Mr.. Clark, bring out enough boxes
of money from your Office to see the
gentleman and 60 him $40, 600 better,
and I will give him 80 minutes to call
me. If that amt enough, I'll buy the
blamed steamboat and put that on the
table. The gambler threw down his
hand, and the stranger made him a
present of 800 bill The stranger was
Joseph Robidoux, founder of the city of
St. Joseph, and the little town of Robi-
doux is part of st. Joseph today. -

A fox hunt with dynamite was the
novel sport of farmers near Point Pleas

a long time the farmers had suffered
from the incursions of some adroit thief
upon their poultry preserves. The thefts
were SO daring, yet mysterious that 40
was decided to set a watch. So when
John Swope heard a racket in his hen
merry he ran ont. He was just in time
to see a big fox, with a nice fat pullet
in his mouth scamper away. The alarm
was spread, and a number Of Farmer
Swope's noighbors assisted him i'm
tracking the fox. They trailed him to
his den, under a huge rock, and were
then confronted with the problem Of
routing him. They got some dynamite

not one, but four foxes, half stunned
and blinded. The animals were killed

How the Arab Regards His Wives and
Daughters.
An Arab-meaning a tent-d weller,
in an equine sense. the tOwn-d weller
is no Arab-loves first and above all
his horse. No one need to recite the
oft-sung affection he will lavish upon
him Next he loves his firearm. This,
POLITICALLY speaking. ought to be six
foot, gold-in laida muzzle-loading hor-
rOr of a MATCHBOX, which would
kick any man but an Arab fat on his
back at every shot; but actually, in
Algeria or Tunis, when he lives near
a city, it is more apt to be modern
English breechlOader. You must fly
from the busy haunts of men to find
the matchbox Next to his gun he
loves his oldest son. Last comes his
wife-or one of his wives, perhaps.
Daughters don't count; I mean the
Arab doesn't take the trouble to count
them, unless in SO far as they minister
to his comfort, dietetic or otherwise
Until some neighbor comes along and
proposes to marry. in other words to
make a still worse slave of one of
them, she is only a chattel-a soulelss
thing. And yet she is said to be
pretty, amiable, helpful being-said
to be, for no one by any hap ever
chances to east his eye on one worth
seeing. This disregard for women,
be it said to their honor, does not al
ways apply to the BedOuins of the
Syrian and Arabian deserts.

A correspondent of The Vossische

executions of criminals by hanging were
SO slowly and clumsily accomplished
as to afford terrible spectacles, and the
government Of the hey applied to Eng
land for a model of the apparatus there
used. The replies to this application
came slowly and evasively, SO that "a
Tunis joiner, European, was intrust-

the attempt, but a new difficulty pre-
scented itself. for no Arab would consent
to use the European machine, and its

that one single apartment of which

to be 81 feet long and So feet broad,

feet above the floor and supported by
four in a row, and each of the same
material of which the roof sides and
floor of the temple are composed.
To each of these pillars is attached
a colossal figure of man, the feet
being on the floor and the head touch
ing the roof These human figures
are nece ssariIy of enormous proper
