The Rabbit and His Overcoat.

The ease ard regularity with which tie
wild animals anpbirds provide thems. Ives
with winter clothing often cause mankind
to utter bitter complaints about the unfair
ness of Providence, who gives rabbits and
foxes and owls new overcoats every winter
and allows the lords of creation to shiver in
straw lat and buster until they can earn
money enough to go and purchase what
they sadly need The hair and fur and
feathers of al! animals and birds that live
in this climate grow thicker and heavier ut
the approach OF winter, bat none OF them,
save The weasel and the hare and rabbit, so
called, changes the color Of it's suit.
In he summer the rabbits suit is duh
brown, TIE color of the earth and Gead
leaves among which he lives, and when
winter draws near heavy coat of long
white hair grows out beyond the summer
suit, and by Dee. l bunny has brand new
overcoat that is warm and comfortable.
While there cen be no doubt that the color
was selected to match the hue of the Snow
that wraps the northern portion OF the
globe in winter, the rabbi could not now
get au overcoac of any other color in case no
snow fell, let lin long for it ever so much.
The danger of wearing white overcoat
before the snow fell was well illustrated
this season in eastern Maine. By the mid
die of November the rabbits began to bleach
out along their backs and by Dec. were
white As there WAS no snow on the ground
at the time, their coats made them conspic
uous marks for the small boy with gun,
and hundreds of rabbits persisted just be-
cause their garment matched the snow and
there was no snow to match their clothing.
When the snow came and the wood roads
were white, the danger was past, and no
doubt the rabbits felt thankful, according
to the Bangor News, which is authority for
the fnrprniup

Bread Omelet.

Housekeepers who have too much princi-
pie to throw away stale bread, and who
cannot bring their families to relish bread
pudding, will find they can put their loaves
to practical use by making what an expe-
rienced mother calls bread omelet." Cut
the bread in very thin slces-and there is
nothing that one can slice so thin rs stale
bread-and dip the slices in beaten eggs
Fry in butter. A most substantial, eco
nomical and satisfactory dish for breakfast.

CUMBERLAND, Nd, May 22, Everything
is quiet in the Georges Creek mining re-
giou, despite the threats made by the
strikers Sunday to keep the workmen out
of the mines by force if necessary. No
violence was offered, but this was proba-
bly, due to the presence of the deputy
sheriffs and the arrest of three rioters on
Saturday. The three mines of the Con
solidation company are operating on full
time and are turning out 1900 tons of coal
a day Others will start up this week.
The strikers have been making strong eff
forts at Frostburg and from that place to
EcShart mine to prevent the miners from
going to work. Some of the strikers were
arrested for interfering with the men.

IN SENATE AND HOUSE.
An Amendment TO Place Iron Ore on
the Free Llat DeEeated.

An Amendment TO Place Iron Ore on
the Free Liat Defeated.
WASHINGTON, May 22.-The senate held
an eight hour session yesterday, from 10
until 6. The entire time rvns sDent debat-
ing the proposed oena.e uuUy ol forty
cents per ton on iron ore The house bill
placed iron ore on the free list, and the
Republicans took occasion TO taunt the
Democrats with inconsistency aud with
being false to their pledges to give the
country free raw materials when they OBJ
tanned control of the government. Some
very sharp encounters occurred, Only
one vote was taken, and this was on Mr.
Peifers amendment to transfer iron ore to
the free list. Senator Hill, Of New York,
was the only Democrat who voted in
favor of il. The others stood by the
caucus agreement and with the Repub-
licans voted against it.
The early part of the days proceedings
in the house was devoted to a legal dis
Cussion concerning an amendment de
claring that the statute which directs the
sergeant-at-arm to make deductions from
the salaries of members ON account of
absence had been repealed. The chairman
ruled the amendment out of order, but
was in turn overruled by the house on an
appeal The amendment was then adop-
ted. The Democrats declared that a sep
arate yea and nay vote on the amendment
would be demanded in the house. In the
morning Mr.. Paul J. Sorg, recently cleo
ted to succeed the late Representative
Houk, of Ohio, was sworn in amid cheers

BreokInridge,s Probable Successor.

LEXINGTON, Ky, May 22. - Colonel
Breckridge was shown up in all its wick
edness by Hon. William c. Owens in his
initial address TO the people of Scott
county yesterday. Mr.. Owens was
greeted by large crowd, filling the hall
at Georgetown TO overnowing, and many
who desired admittance were turned
away. Fully 800 women were present
wearing Owens badges, and they joined
in the applause in manner that showed
that the womauhood of the district is bit
terly opposed to sending Breckingridge
back TO congress. The applause was al
most continuous throughout the speech,
showing that Owens was well received.
Resolutions certifying TO the good char
actcr of the Scott county man were passed
by rising vote.

BELGRADE May 92. - King Alexander
has accomplished another coup d'etat. A
royal proclamation issued this morning
abolishes the constitution of 1888 and re-
stores that of 1869, giving the king the
right to appoint one-third of the members
of the chamber of deputies. With the
restoration of the old constitution the
secret ballot ceases and the electoral sys-
TEN of Scrutin de Liste is abrogated. The
king has taken this step upon the advice
of his father, ex-King Milan. Under the
orders of the king Premier Nicolaievitch
will at once reorganize the cabinet.

DETERMINED TO MAKE TROUBLE
Striking slavs and Italians Attack Depu.

Ties At LhtrOues
LATRoBE, Pa, May 22.-Interest in the
strike situation here has the call over the
food excitement The state of affairs is
extremely critical in this region, and trou-
bic is imminent. The attempt TO resume
work yesterday by the Latrobe Coal COM
pany was met by ugly opposition, princi-
pally from a big mob Of Slavs and Ital-
ians. Only one man was allowed to
go TO work. The mob was in an ugly
mood and the strikers were armed with
clubs, bars Of iron, big steel rods and
other weapons, proving very formidable
in the hands Of these vicious foreigners.
At the Ligionier works, about a mile from
a town, dozen deputies were confronted
by mob Of about twenty-five strikers,
armed with clubs and revolvers. The
deputies were attacked from the rear, and
one Of them was struck over the head
with a club and another blow over the
arms and his rifle wrested from him.
Many men are trying TO get back 10 work,
but the strikers are guarding every point.
Nine-tenths Of the strikers are not En-
glish-speaking, and they are determined
to make trouble.

The Maori lives mainly on the food that

lands. His native cloth (tappa) has long
gone out Of use and European fabrics have
taken It's place The men are clad in Eng.

The women, also shoeless as rulo, dress
with taste and abjure gorgeous colors,
sham jewelry and loud display, but are
greedy OF lace trimmings, ostrich feathers,
artificial flowers and adornments Of a sim
ilar kind. To pay for their new wants, the
eopra Of commerce is made from the dried
fruit Of the cocoanut
Cotton is picked or the magnificent or
anges are gathered when a paying market
can be found. They take the trouble to
make lime juice on the same condition, but
their chief export is coffee, for which mar
ket is always sure. The height and Wild
ness Of the trees make the picking Of ber-
riea a slow process, but planting and prun.
