latest proposition OF the operatives and
the answer OF the manufacturers have
again left matters IN this city in rather
an uncertain condition, although by
many the outcome anticipated is an ac-
ceptance by the operatives, al least for
the present, Of the reduction. The prop
osltion is understood to be a compromise
between two factions in the conference
committee, one favorlng an immediate
strike and the other posgponemeal OF all
action until March,
Il differs from what the manufacture

The answer Of the manufacturers de-

proposition 30 that there Is nothing for
The operatives to do but accept or oppose
the reduction, In view OF this condition
OF affairs, It is now improbable that the

will allow them 10 act for themselves.

Wild horses are getting 10 be quite

They are very troublesome, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer, as they lead away

Gated horse once gets with a wild bunch
it is an all days job and sometimes it
takes several days TO catch him. The
LATEST old crowbait alive, or the gen

few days with these mustangs, seems
to forget his raising; all the old-time
wildness of his forefathers seems to
crop out in him, and, although formerly
he may have allowed himself to be
caught anywhere, he viii not then per

horse of this kind is to run the entire
bunch down and corral them, or to rope
the ones wanted. Nearly all our stock
men have lost horses in this manner,
and the mustang, instead of being

sidered an intruder and a pest, and is

Otto Schoen, a young Berlin architectO Oi

The facts in this singular case are as
follows:
Schoen was employed to plan and built

Without intending disresPect, he drew
plans which provided for a building cng
story higher than the emperor's. When

lieutenant what he should do. The lat.

be to fly to a foreign country. s

Pennsylvania FOx-HUNTING.
Englnnd's Packs and Hunts Have
American InFsnfarS

Englnnd's Packs and Hunts Have
American ImitatOrs.
While there is n general impression
that Americans do not go in for fox
hunting as do the Englishmen, it is by
ali odds the most popular winter sport
"a. Pennsylvania s4vS tie New York
Times. There are in the southwestern
counties as fine packs of hounds as can
be shown in England, though fewer in
number, and some horses that hold
their own against the best OF English
importations over as stiff country
as that hunted by the famous Quorn
pack, of which the earl of Lonsdale is
master. At n recent run $50 couples OF
hounds were out and about 200 riders.
Just now there is CONSERVATION among
owners Of the Pennsylvania hounds be-
cause of an outbreak of rabies in the
Strafford Hunt kennels, which has ne
cessitated the killing of the entire pack
OF 25, many of them dogs imported
from noted English packs. a rabid cur
bit one of the hounds few weeks ago,
and this dog, after u recent run, at
tackled other occupants of the kennels.
So all were killed as u matter of safety.
There is fear that other hounds in 9th
er packs have been bitten, and that an
outbreak of hydrophobia throughout
the hunting district may follow. All
possible precautions to prevent this dis
nster have been taken, and hounds
which have been exposed are to be iso-
lated for time.

Woman in ireland whose Skin Is
Alternately Black and White.
Medical societies in Great Britain aud
Ireland are just now devoting no little
attention TO remarkable human freak
who now lives in one of the western
Irish counties. The woman was born
with black skin in Jamaica about 45
years ago. She says that she remained
with the characteristic negro color TO
her skin until She was 30 years of age,
when she began rapidly turning white,
the complete transformation being
made in less than three months. She
remained white for about year, and
then turned black again, but more
slowly than the white transformation
had come upon her. When this second
change in skin color took place she
was sure that she had returned TO her
original color, and would remain that
hue during the balance of her life, but
1t was only few short months until
she was again as white as an albino.
Since that time the changes have year.

uct nnd AvcrtIng Trouble.
Machinery is beginning to play very
important part in flint and green-glass
manufacture, says the Pittsburgh Dis
patch. The introduction Of one ma
chine alone for simplifying the making
of fruit jars was instrumental in re.
ducing the price list last fall, and its
further application is expected TO be
large factor in the settlement Of wages
this year. To give an idea Of the reyo-
luton which is impending in this
branch of the glassware business, one
firm turned out last September, with
five machines, $4,000 jars day. For
"a month past the four additional ma
chimes have been in use, and the daily
output has been $1,000 jars. There Is
now being built an additional tank
furnace, which will double the capacity
of the works and bring up the daily
production to over 100000 Jars, or say,
30,000,000 jars per year, which viii be
fully one-third of the entire fruit-jaT
production of the United States. Lamps,
the foot and bowl of which were former
~ JOlnuSd by ndhur ilIfd often very I'M

chimes, which form the oil fount and
foot at one operation and out of one
piece of glass, and the lamp is prac-
tically indstructible. One firm of
punch tumbler blowers has hitherto en-
ployed n few hand blowers, each hand
turning out about 600 tumblers per
turn In the same factory ten machines
will soon be at work, which viii give an
output of 100000 punch tumblers per

TREE SAP.
idea That 1t Rises nnd Falls with the

Idea That 1t Rises and Falls with the
Seasons Is Errnneo"~-
Sap is n Natery fluid found in the IN
terror OF the cells of plants and trees,
and contains dissolved or suspended In
1t the materials required for the life
and growth of the cell. The idea that
in winter the sap goes down into the
roots and in the spring rises again Is
quite erroneous, says a reliable au,
thority. Trees and plants are full OF
watery sap all the winter. The phenom-
ena of freezing in the case of trees and
plants are but little understood. The
sap in leaves and in smaller branches
is often frozen. This is seen especially
In the twigs of hickory, which in very
cold weather are as brittle as glass,
though the same twigs at a higher
temperature cannot by any possibility
be broken with the hands. For various
causes the water contained in the cells
only begins TO crystallize at some de-
grees below the ordinary freezing point.
This is partly due to the chemical com
position of the sap, which contains
various salts, starch, etc, in solution.
Besides this the bark of trees is bad
conductor of heat, and the interior tenn
perature of trees and plants is general
ly higher In winter and lower in sum
mer than that of the surrounding at
mosphere.

Russian Jury men.

Some American juries are inclined
to be eccentric in their yerdicts, but
they cannot hold u candle in this regard
to the juries of Russia. The Literary
Digest declares that the most incredible
stories are told of Russian jurymen.
Thus, the foreman of a jury declared he
would not send poor fellow TO prison
because it happened to be his (the jury
man's) birthday. Another jury had
agreed upon a verdict of guilty when
the church bells began to ring. They
revised their verdict because a holiday
had begun. A burglar was allowed 10
go free because the man whom he had
robbed had refused to lend him money.
This, in the opinion of the jury, was a
direct incentive to crime.
