FAILED TO MATERIALIZE.
The Big Contemplated May Day Strike AT
Chicago.


Chicago. May 3.-The May strike, in
stead of involving $4,000 men, as was
expected, has narrowed down to four
unions, and in these all the men will not
go out, according to the present out
look. The unions which have not been
able to settle differences with the con-
tractors, are: The hodcarriers the der
rickmen, the bridgemen, and the junior
steamfitters.
The journeymen plumbers have set
tied their differences with the master
plumbers to the extent of calling anoth-
er meeting. The arbitration committees
of the two bodies will meet, and ii is
more than likely that an amicable set
Element will be reached.
The greatest Difficulty seems to lie
with the hodcarriers and the junior
steamfitters. The latter represent the
helpers to the regular steamfitters, and
they have demanded an increase from
$1.75 to 81 per day. AS work i'm this line
Is very light, and there are compare
lively few of the juniors employed, IL
is possible that there VII be some diff
Guilty in settling this demand. An au-
thorty estir ates that there are scarce
ly more than 10 lcr cent &C the junior

The Plucking Of Fowls.

The Australian method of plucking
fowls possesses the advantages Of being
rapid and easy. AS soon as the birds are
dead, plunge each in turn into pail of
boiling water, into which one and half
pints of cold water has been thrown-the
object is just to scald them-taking care
that the water reaches every part OF the
feathers. One minutes sousing is gener-
ally sufficient. If kept in too long, the
skin is apt to discolor, and II not long
enough, the feathers will not easily draw.
Every feather can now be stripped off in the
easiest possible manner--in fact, they can
almost be brushed off. The skin never
tears, and the insects that infest all chick
ems will have disappeared. When clear,
pump on the birds to rinse off the wet
feathers that still hdhere, wipe tenderly
with soft cloth, and hang up to dry with
cloth fastened loosely round. This Is to
keep them from the air and preserve them
white. BY this means all the feather
htumps are perfectly removed. Ducks can
not be treated in the same manner, as the
oil i'm the feathers prevents the water from
penetrating-NewY York Ledger.

FAMOUS TOBACCO USERS.
Milton Smoked, but Napoleon Didn't-Why
Swinburne Loves James L.

Milton Smoked, but Napoleon Didn't-Why
Swinburne Loves James L.
A book lately published in London gives
much interesting information about tobac-
&C users 1t is by an anonymous writer
and is, as its title page asserts, IAN anus
ing miscellany of fact and anecdotes relat-
ing TO the great plant in all its forms and
uses. The book is appropriately named
Tobacco Talk.
Many great names are given of men who
smoked. 1t is doubtful whether Shakes
peare was a smoker or not, and reason
for his abstaining is found in the fact that
his patron, King James l, was one of the
earliest antitobacconists. Ben Jonson was
a smoker. Napoleon once said that tobacco
smoking was a habit only fit to amuse
sluggards This remark was somewhat in
the nature of ''sour grapes the great
man being unable to forget the effect of
his first cigar. John Milton smoked pipe
of tobacco every night before retiring.
Richard Fletcher, bishop of London, was
the first known ohurchman to smoke in
England. Talleyrand took snuff and ex-
cused himself by saying that all diplomats
ought to take snuff, as it afforded pre-
text for delaying a reply with which one
might not be ready.
Mazzini always kept a cigar burning as
he wrote. Guizot, the French historian,
said that smoking had prolonged his life
ten years. Pepys in his diary states that
he was forced to use tobacco during the
great plague as disinfectant. He bought
some roll tobacco to smoke and chew,
which took away the apprehension. J"
Charles Lamb smoked the strongest and
cdxrsest tobacco and called it his evening
comfort and morning curse" He once
| expressed a wish that bis last breath
| might be drawn through pipe and ex-
hailed in a pun
In l642 Pope Urban VII issued bull
| against the use of tobacco in churches,
threatening any one with excommunica-
ton who disobeyed.
Among other famous men who are men,
toned as universal users of tobacco are
Bismarck, Lord Brougham, Mr. Spurgeon,
Emerson, Carlyle, Huxley, Victor Hugo,
| Bulwer Lytton, Tennyson, Gibbon,
| Charles Kingsley, Dickens and Thackeray.
On the other hand, many great men have
been opposed to the use of the weed. Some
| of these were Voltaire, Rousseau, Mira
beau and Swinburne, who is quoted s'say
ing: "James / was knave, q tyrant, a
fool, liar and coward. But i love him,
worship him, because he slit the throat
of that blackguard Raleigh, who invented
filthy smoking"
This TRADE is qualified by another writer
who says that tobacco has made more gooo
husbands, good men, kind masters and in
dulgent fathers than any other blessed
thing on this universal earth.-New York

And end his lonely life
