The Labor Exchange.

Much interest is being taken
in the formation of a labor ex-
change in this city, and is very
possible that one will soon be
in operation here.
The labor exchange is now OF
national repute, being in opera
ton in nearly every state in the
union and over three hundred
are in operation.
| It was decided by the mem
bers present at the meeting a
week ago to operate a deposi-
tory where surplus goods, eth
er new or second hand, might
be placed on sale, and also to
manufacture such articles of
local consumption as do not re-
quire much outlay for material
but gives employment to the
unemployed. The committee
has met general good will
among the merchants. 1t also
has been able to negotiate tor a
suitable building on Michigan
street for a place of business at
a reduced rent on account of
the objects of the labor ex-
change.
Goods manufactured in Du-
1uth will not be received from
outside, as the main object of
the institution in any locality
is to give general benefit,
especially to the unemployed
of that locality, and as it issues
it's own script, the business of
the labor exchange is only linn
tied by the amount of merchan-
disc and labor there is for in
terchange in any locality.
Everyone who makes a de-
posit of labor or the product of
labor, will receive, in addition
to the wholesale price of the
article, if merchandise, and the
average wage, if work, a depos-
it certificate, which entities
that person to his pro-rata share
in the profits of the institution.
Such arrangement will give
those who are now wholly out
of employment and conse-
quently of no material benefit
to the locality, not only the
wherewith to purchase goods
from the merchants for cash
but an interest in a prosperous
institution in the locality, and
have a tendency to make of
themr better citizens in every
senseof the word. Very friendly
feeling is manifested by the
merchants who say that they
will take the script so long as
they can purchase with it
standard goods at wholesale
prices, which, they rightfu11 y
say, is all they can do with any
money, and many idle men have
signified their Willingness to
take the scri pit so long as they,
can purchase merchandise.
The labor exchange will also
operate an employment bureau
free of charge, where men out
of employment can register,
and where those wishing to
employ labor can deposit their
order. The labor exchange
aims to have only commend
able features and as it is on the
cooperative instead of the com
pet1tive plan and refunds to the
actual participants, all profits,
of every description, the pro-
moters anticipate for it the
hearty cooperation of every
conscientious person in Duluth.
Suggestions from business men
and others are solicited and will
receive prompt attention. Ad-
dress all communications to

How tse Animals Are Attacked and ''Turn.
ed" on Ascension Island.

the desolate island Of Ancension in
the south Atlantic, barren vol
canic patch belonging to Britain,
and, because used exclusively as a
naval depot, entered upon the books
of the admiralty as one Of her maj
esty's ships. An enormous number
of turtles were annually turned"
there and preserved in a small Ia
goon from shipment to shipment.
It was my pleasant privilege to as
sist at one of these turnings, and I
bear a very vivid recollection of the
game.
Crouched low behind an immense
bowlder one evening about 8 o'clock,
we could hear a hollow reverberat-
ing murmur of the mighty surf out
side, suggesting sleepily irresistible
force. A dazzling wreath of snowy
foam, cleaning like FURNISHED sill
yer, fringed the quiet stretch of gilt
tering sand, which, gently sloping
upward and landward, was bounded
by gloomy bastions Of black lava.
Beyond that shining semicircle of
glowing white lay the somber blue
black bosom Of the quiet little bay,
now heaving gently as that of
sleeping child. Hither and thither,
threading it's inscrutable depths,
glided spectrally broad tracks of
greenish light, vivid, yet ever
Frightening and fading, as if of iv-
ing fame.
Presently there emerged from the
retreating smother of spume creep
ing something Of no very definite
shape under the glamour of the
molten moonlight, but making an
odd shutting progress inland and
becoming more recognizable as it
rose. Another and yet another
and still more arrived as the shining
tracks converged shoreward At
last the dark shapes came near
enough for a novice to know them
for turtle Soon the first comers
reached their limit and began the
work for which they had come.
Each massive reptile, by an inde-
scribable motion of its fore fippers,
delved into the yielding grit, throw
ing the spoil behind it and upward
withal until it was enveloped in a
misty halo of shining sand. Then
the whole beach was alive with the
toiling chelones and their male at
tendants, who shufled about, emit
ting curious noises, but whether Of
encouragement or affection this de-
ponent saith not.
Divers Of them came from far
so far that none who have not wit
messed the swift cleaving of their
true element by these ungainly
monsters could believe how the
wide sweep Of those eager fippers
devours the feeting leagues. In a
short time many Of the delving tur-
ties had sunk below the level of the
surrounding sand, while some had
ceased their digging and commenced
to deposit their eggs. Suddenly we
rushed upon them, and for some
minutes the swarming beach was
apparently scene of wild confu-
sion. Really the plan Of attack was
we'll ordered, and when the first
scurrv was over nearly all the visit
ors were to be seen wrong side up.

In less than half an hour the lone
iness was again regnant, all the
victims having been towed off
through a gap in the rocks to a spa
cious spoliarium in the lagoon be-
hind, there to await their transit to
the goal of most good things, Lon

A case wherein IGNORANCE was bliss"
was illustrated last month when the
schooner "Jennie F. Wiley" arrived in
New York from South America with a
cargo of cocoanuts. Capt. Bulger sailed
from New York for Cartagena and other
South American ports, on the day pre-
vious to the blowing up of the Maine,
and did not learn of the war until the
captain of the tug-boa informed him OF
hostilities upon his arrival off Sandy
Hook. Capt. Bulger had been away nearly
five months. His ignorance saved him
self and crew a great deal of worriment.
He said when bound home, and off the
Florida coast, he noticed several large
war ships, and wondered why they should
be in that vicinity, never dreaming be
was and had been where his vessel was
liable to be taken, and himself and crew
made prisoners.
