Cleveland Strike to be Investigated.

1t is probable that the state board OF
arbitration will investigate the Cleve-
land street railway strike on the de-
mand of the executive committee of
the strikers. Thus far the board has
not tried to settle this strike because
it had not the power to do so unless
both parties were agreed. The law
provides, however, that in case there is
no arbitration either party may ask
for an investigation which will be
judicial in it's nature, and ascertain
who is responsible for the strike and
it's prolongation. The strikers were
asked by the central labor union to
demand such an investigation. Secre-
tary Bishop, of the state board, is now
in the city and he says he is ready to
take up the investigation If it shall be
demanded.

by fire on Aug. 2sth, entailing a loss
of $4,000 and causing the death of

inmates were asleep at the time the
fire broke out and only so few killed

burns, but none seriously.

The Nose Lasts Longest.

Bone and cartilage enter so largely
into the structure of the nose and de
termine its characteristics that it IN
dergoes little perceptible change, as a
rule, with the lapse of years. The brow
becomes wrinkled, and crows feet
gather round the eyes, which them
selves gradually grow dim as time rolls
on. Cheeks lose the bloom which cos
metics cannot replace and lips their
fullness and color.
The chin, dimpled in youth, develops
irregularities or globularities, as the
case may be, and the eyebrows become
heavy with tho crop of many years
growth. The nose shows no mark COM
parable to these familiar facial indica-
tions of the approach of old age and
practically enjoys immunity from the
ravages which time makes Oh the other
features of the face. Next to the nose
probably the ears, as n rule show the
fewest and least obvious signs OF old
age.

Wonderful Pumping Engines.

The standard attained by the per-
Torrance of modern pumping engines is
pretty high, as was illustrated by an
incident which occurred not long ago
here in New York, where some large
pumping engines that had recently been
set up and were working at rather high
speed and almost absolutely without
noise were inspected by an expert in
such matters who hailed from an inte-
rior city. He remarked, ''Well, those
engines work very nicely now, but wait
until you get to pumping water at that
speed and then you will hear something
from them probably"
His astonishment may perhaps be i'm
agined when it was demonstrated to
him that they were at that moment
pumping water and had been continu
ously doing so for As hours.

A Curious Sight.

In Japan the traveller sees many Gu
rious sights. One of the strangest of
which is the population washing it
self at the corners of streets toward
evening. In Yeddo the citizens fire.
quent large bathing establishments.
The street doors of such resorts stand
open, and a striking spectacle, to say
the least, is presented by the inmates
sitting washing themselves with the ut
most unconcern. This is general Gus
tom, and nothing whatever is thought
of it. Such an apparent want of modes
ty is difficult to comprehend and is not
reconcilable with the advanced state of
civilization of the japanese. In many
other of the manners and customs do
the Japs offer a striking antagonism to
those accepted by us.

They Help One Another.

y singular custom prevails among
the Tartars or Kurds. If man gets in
to difficulties-that is, loses his cattle
or other movable property-he pours n
little brown sugar into a piece of col
Ored cloth, ties it up and carries ono
such parcel to each of his friends and
acquaintances- In return he is present
ed, according to circumstances, with
cow or sheep or a sum of money. He is
thus at once set on his legs again. The
same method is adopted when young
man wishes to marry, but is not in
position to satisfy the parents of his
intended bride in the matter of the

Only Step From Royal sIagnifcence 60
Crowds of Half Naked Workers
One of the strangest contrasts in Ma
pies is to walk from the royal palace,
with its fine marble staircase, up the
new Corse Re d'Italia and to climb in
to the steep streets around the Church
of San So Terino Sosio.
These streets are the dwelling places
of the dyers, and one steps from regal
magnificence into a crowd of seminaked
people, who are busily dipping great
hanks of cotton or wool into seething
caldrons. As elsewhere, the work is car
ried ON in the street, and little streams
of water-red, yellow, brown and black
pour over the rough stones and gath
er III multicolored pools, while on low
benches against the walls women are
washing clothes, standing in the dirty,
soapy water that splashes over from
their tubs.
The passersby walk heedlessly through
the dye and soapsuds, while the chill
dren find pleasant occupation in throw
ing mud of every variety of color at
anybody who chances to be wearing
light coloreti garments. 1t is veritable
feast of color from the merely spectacu-
lar point of view, but a visit to these
streets leaves a bodily as well as a
mental impression.
Very often in the depths of these sor
did alleys one comes across n forgotten
old palace, built when carriages were
unknown, its great court of honor
crowded with booths, its vast halls fill
ed with heterogeneous collection of
men, women and children, fowls, goats,
sheep and occasionally donkey, all
