Sailors Of he World Prepare One and De-
mnnd It's Acceptance.
CHICAGO, July 29.-The Record says:
A wage scale to govern the shipping i'll
terests of the world has been drawn up.
If the shipowners fail to accept it, sea-
men say, a strike will lie declared which
will be felt wherever men trust their
lives to the decks of vessels. The idea,
having its origin among the English
sailors, has gradually spread until now
it has supporters everywhere. Ameri-
can seamen are said to be in thorough
accord with the movement.
1t was the original intention to carry
the agitation on quietly and set date
when the effort would be made without
attracting undue attention, but recent
developments in London and vicinity,
where tho police interfered with meet
ing that>had been held for the purpose
of organizing seamen, gave it more or
less publicity, and the recent receipt Of
information regarding the movement in
this country has madeit matter Of
common talk among sailors.

A small youth out in Kcnwood hns como
to think his native state docs not amount

removed from st. Joseph, Mo-, to Chicago
and took up residence within tho fashion
nble district of Kcnwood. The younger
son of the family is II lad about 0 years old,
and Il few duys ago tho whole Sabbath
school which this youth attends was be-
ing questioned by the superintendent upon
tho lesson of the day. This little follo.<
has an unusually bright and interesting
fnce, and ns his class was seated directly
in front Of tho superintendent he was nut
urally attracted to him. Tho lesson was
Of Moses and how the Red sen had scpa-
rated and permitted him to lead his hosts
through tho divided water.
Whom tho superintendent had finished
relating tho story, he concluded to see how
much his youthful listeners had taken in.
"Who was it, children" he questioned,
"that led the lsrnelites into the promised
landp"
With tho usual timidity of children
about speaking out IN meeting" mono Of

other and gigglod, but none offered any re-

Vegetable Rennets.
Those who would like to mako cheese OF
q very small scale alc often troubled to get
proper rennet to produce coagulation Of
the milk A scientist says that if the
leaves of the common butterwort are
placed in q straincr and the milk fresh
from the COW Is poured over it, tho milk
will soon become thick and has most
delicious flavor. The yellow bcdstraw also
possesses the properties Of curdling milk,
and the natives of Cheshire prefer 1t as q
rennct to all other sorts. The leaves and
flowers arc put in the strainer, and the
milk is slowly poured over them. The
flower heads of tho garden artichoke also
possess the property of coagulating milk.
In view of the carclessness sometimes noted
in people who prepare rennet in the ordi-
nary fashion, this vegetable rennet is worthy
of attention. The leaves, properly cleaned
and prepared, would be very much safer
and moro hygicnic than animal substances
which may go through chemical changes
that unfit them for foOd.-New York
