The Denmark Lockout.

The settlement Of the difficulties be-
tween the workingmen and their en-
plOyers in the great industrial lockout
in Denmark, involving directly more
than 5000 wage earners, after many
failures to reach an understanding, is
recognized as the most satisfactory
circumstance in connection with indus
trial affairs of the year. The contest
was ON for foul months and embraced
the building trades of the whole of
Denmark, the difficulty originating
with a strike by the carpenters union.
Then the bosses. federation took the
matter into their own hands and lock-
ed out every craft and calling. Many
of the young craftsmen helped to re-
Iieve the situation by emigrating. The
w~orkingmen were under good disci-
pline and control, and there was no
disorder or inebriety. Credit for the
settlement is extended largely to the
press, which advised concessions on
both sides and recommended in the
way Of avoiding future difficulties the
establishment of a board of concilia-
tios to which all misunderstanding
between workmen and their employers
may be referred and settled before
they reach an acute stage.

The Lost King.

In olden times, when European kings
were plentiful, it was not an exception
al occurrence for a king to disappear
and never be heard of again. In recent
times, however, the people have been
more careful of their kings. So when
King Sebastlano of Portugal disappeared
In battle July %, 1873, while fighting
h Moors at AlcaZar, there was great
commotion. The Moors surrendered to
the Portuguese a body said to be that
Of the king, but it was rumored that
the Moors had the live king in custody.
The surrendered body was buried with
royal honors at Belem, but the faithful
Portuguese persisted in waiting for the
return of their king. Long after he
would have died in the course of ma
ture his countrymen ~longingly awaited
his coming. Even up to this day the
legend Of the return of King Sebastian
Is believed by many, and on stormy
nights crcdulous Portuguese citizens
will wrap their cloaks about them and
&c outside and watch the storm, think
Ing that the king may appear in a
cloud of fire and again rule over his
people.

Heroic Death of n Boy of Whom All
the Others Made Sport.

Heroic Death of n Boy of Whom All
the Others Made Sport.
In every village there are one or
more characters that impress you at
once with their utter worthlessness.
Two-For-a-Nickel was one of these.
He was a boy of perhaps 16, loose
jOinted and thin, with Il sallOw face,
washed out blue eyes and an air of list
lessness, all of which made him al OBJ
ject of contempt and derision among
the boys.
This name, bestowed by the other
boys, they gradually shortened into
Two-For and finally into the monosyl-
liable Two.
1 do not think the boys ever really
maItreated Two. No one but those of
genuine brutal instincts could have
lone so, and l do lot now recall any
act of cruelty. OF course we made
game of him numerically. In fact, 1
believe we tolerated him when we
went to the river or to the woods for
no other purpose.
He bore it all patiently. Perhaps it
was generally believed that his feel
lngs were not easily touched, just as
we believe or pretend to believe that
the hook does not hurt the fish.
Unto Two-For-a-Nickel b daily
coming of the passenger train was a
source of everlasting delight. Now and
then some of the other boys were alb
sent. Two never was. He would get
up by the engine and watch the kissing
valves, the great, red furnace as the
fremen shoveled in coal, the ponderous
wheels and he powerful piston rod
with an interest that never tagged and
which he accorded to nc other object.
One summer morning the platform
of the station was crowded. h boys
were on hand in full force. l did not
see Two in the crowd, but 1 knew he
must be there if he were alive.
Among those who were going away
were a young woman and two children.
n a baby in her arms and the other
a little girl of perhaps 3 years. The
mother was rather a nervous woman
n was worried about the checking of
her baggage, which the agent attended
to very leisurely, handing her the
checks just as the train rounded the
curve. Then suddenly she discovered
that the little girl was gone. She called
sharply and rushed about among the
crowd. The child was nowhere to be
found. Every one had seen it a mo-
ment before, but no one had noticed 1t
leaving.
The train was within so yards of the
platform. At that moment there crept
out from behind some empty barrels
at the farther end the little girl, out
into the center Of the track, not 80
yards in front of the laundering train.
We heard the quick reversing Of the
engine, but we knew it was too late.
Some turned their heads The mother
tainted. Then all at once a tall, thin
figure darted across the end of the {.
platform straight toward b nco
scious child, tossing 1t with a quick
motion far into the weeds and nettles
beyond the track 1t was saved, but
under the mighty wheels, utterly
indeed now, there lay all
that was mortal of him whom the boys
had scorned and in their mockery had
christened Two-For-a-Nickel. - Cleve-

The latest craze is the book tea. A
number of guests-the equally
representative asked to afternoon
tea, and each is to wear a badge denot-
ing a book. The book is not necessarily
a novel, though the III is on novels,
nor is it necessarily a modern book,
though these are more generally select
ed. The badge, which is a little toy,
must express the title of the book. The
guests arrive decorated, supplying and
wearing their own decorations, and
each has to guess the titles Of all the
others. Some people are very stupid at
it, some very quick. And there is skill,
too, not only in guessing the titles, but
in making the orders. There are two
prizes-one for the guest who guesses
most n n for the guest whose badge
has been most difficult to interpret.
Much tea and some time are consumed,
and men and women show themselves
to be children of a larger growth.

Natural Bridge of Agate.

The most valuable natural bridge in
the world is to be found in Arizona ly-
ing across a deep chasm 40 feet in
width. 1t is a petrifed tree about 4
feet in diameter and about 100 feet in
length. 1t is pure agate all through,
and therefore is much more valuable
as regards material than any bridge of
marble or granite would be. But the
most expensive material of which n
bridge has ever been built is probably
telegraph wire. One was built over
the Jhelum river at Kohala, in the
Punjab, in the place Of a bridge which
was swept away by the floods in 8
A similar bridge was constructed dur
ing the first Sudan campaign over the
Kokora river for military purposes.

Why, goodness me, i race the stairs,
Run up and down all day
For things my sister leaves around
Or brothers put awayi
And when at last / find them
And bring them, with delight,
They only say, "Why, mercy, child,
thought you'd stay all night"
Oh, grown ups. If you only knew,

But seems like nothing suits.

But happy be. II folks to mo

FRANCE PROTECTS LABOR.
Laws Regulating the Conditions In
Mills and Factories.

| AaVV0 ulatlnS Ihe III
| Mills and Factories.
The protecting hand of the law was
| still further extended in 1892, increas-
ing the limit of age, decreasing the
| hours per day of child labor and for
the first time applying regulations to
all kinds of abor. Children d II
years were now exempted from labor
and at that age were permitted to
work only if provided with certificates
of primary education and Of physical
aptitude" For boys under 16 n
girls under Is the limit of a days work
was placed at ten hours. Girls and
women were protected not only from
underground work, but also from night
work, with certain specified eXcep-
lions, and they WERE, moreover, to
have at least one day free in seven,
though not necessarily Sunday. By this
law women were to become labor in
spectors, and the system of inspection
was still further improved. With the
law of 1892 the third republic may be
congratulated on having systematiZed
the protection Of it's children and wo-
men with a fostering care such as
never eve entered into the dreams of
the gallant monarchS who have ruled
owe France.
From the protection of women and
children to that of all worker appears
a most natural step, but it was one
which was taken late by the French
lawmakers. The law of 1910 regard
ing factories producing obnoxious or
unhealthy odors considered only the
comfort of the neighborhood. Even
the law of 1910 requiring the periodic
al inspection of boilers may be looked
upon as intended as much for the safe
ty of property as of human life. But
with 1890, the law of July s, came a
decided change, regulating in detail the
semimonthly inspection of mines,
with the sole object of examining the
conditions of security for the employ
ees."
Two years later q series of DEGREES
regulated the inspection of Quarries.
Next the law of June II, 1898, empow-
cred the administrative authorities to
issue rules, in with modern
Ideas Of hygiene, for the health and
protection Of laborers, specifying light
ing, ventilation, drinking water, water
closets, h carrying off Of dust and
fumes, fire escapes, etc. Armed with
this authority the government, March
10, 1894, issued a decree with minute
regulations relating to ventilation, dis
Infection, coat and wash rooms, the
cleaning of walls n floors, the guard
ing of approaches to machines, etc.
The passing of mealtime in the work
rooms was forbidden. Indeed, the
workrooms were to be vacated during
that time and the air entirely changed.
These laws are by no means lead let
tiers, and, though admittedly neither
the government nor the employers per-
fectly fulfill their requirements, excel
lent results have been achieved there
by. Not to mention mines n quar-
ries, there were made in the year 1897
inspections of 125,775 factories, en-
ploying 1,755,351 persons, Of whom
It's, 900 were ONE and children, and
some 5000 cases Of failure to comply
with the law were noted.-Walter B.

Roso Marston, and she is but 16 years

1895, when Sarony, the New York art
photographer, got her to pose for a
series of pictures. Little Miss Marston
is said to be the most shapely child
known to the New York artists. She
is particularly remarkable for the
beauty and grace of her arms, hands
and feet, which closely resemble the

of such things as are in the most de-
mand there and which will consequent
ly bring a high price. He spent the
greater part of last year there and
therefore knows just what articles
there is the most call for as well as the
difficulties in transporting them in.

mich COWS, which bring almost fabu-
lous prices there, also three or four
horses. Not only his horses but his
COWS as we'll will be used to transport
his outfit which will consist mostly Of
staple articles such as butter and eggs
which are a great rarely there and bring
prices accordingly. He will also carry
with him hay and feed for his stock dur
ing the trip and will try and take insome
turkeys which fetch almost any price one
has mind to ask for them. He will
take five men with him to help get the
outfit in, two from here, one from Mime
apolis and two from Tacoma where she
will fit out. He wtlltake the Skaguaway
and Lake Bennett route and will push
OH down towards Dawson City as fan
as possible while the season permits, then
go into camp and build raft OH which
to make the rest OF the trip down the
