Linked Eyebrows.

1t is popularly believed that il ones
eyebrows meet it indicates deceit.
Charles Kingsley indorses this belief,
but Tennyson has other ideas and poet
ically speaks Of married brows."
In Turkey meeting eyebrows are
greatly admired. and the women use
artificial means to bring the brows to
this condition. and il art cannot induce
thin eyebrows to grow they make up
by drawing black line with paste.
1t would appear that the Greeks ad-
mired brows which almost met, and
the fashionable inhabitants Of Rome
not only approved of them, but resorted
to pigments to make mp the lack which
sometimes existed.
Some proverbs state that the person
whose eyebrows meet will always have
good luck. while others state exactly
the reverse. The Chinese say that
people whose eyebrows meet can never
hope to attain to the dignity Of a min
f state. . and in Greece Of today

A well known professor sometimes
became SO much interested in his lecture
that when the noon bell rang he kept
the class five or ten minutes over the
hopr. Certain restless spirits among the
students thought they would give him
a gentle hint, so they bought an alarm
clock, set it to go off precisely at noon
and placed it on the professors desk
when they came In to the next lecture.
They knew that he was little absent
minded and expected that he would not
notice it.
As the noon hour struck the alarm
went off with crash, and those Of the
class not in the secret started and took
in the joke at once. There was round
Of applause. The professor waited until
the alarm and the applause were over
and then said: young gentlemen.

clock is something my wife has needed
for our servant for some time. It is a
very kind remembrance ON your part.

Mr. Reeve was dining one night at a

OPEN WARFARE
Against the Proposed Massillon
Coal Trust Is An
nOunced.

Cleveland, Nov. Ill. r. Pocock, one
of the largest coal operators in the
Massillon district, openly announces a
warfare against the Massillon coal
trust, which is now in process of forma-
ton.
Cleveland men who are organizing the
trust, claim to have secured options on
every mine in the district except those
owned by Pocock. The latter has fought
the trust from it's inception.
Now, when the trust appears to be
sure thing, Pocock is making arrange
ments for long and bitter fight
3 Thousands of dollars are being used
to increase the capacity of Pocock's
mines. Cleveland men say that Pocock
is a man of his word and that his
announcement of warfare on the
trust means long and bitter fight.
Pocock gained his reputation as a
fighter year ago, when he proclaimed
war against the NIassillon Coal associa-
ton. After sharp conflict, lasting less
than week, he succeeded in disrupting
that organization. The cause of the fight
was that certain prominent members
of the Massillon Coal association had
been secretly cutting below the price
list adopted by the association. Pocock
suddenly enered the field, openly cut
ting prices right and left.

II WOOD GOVERNS CUBA.
Governor. He Would Have
Military Power.

New YORK, Nov. l1.-Brigadier Gen.
eral William Ludlow, military governor
of Havana, after reading the special
dispatches from Washington, describ-
ing the impending change in the gov
ernment of Cuba, said in part:
Assuming that he administration
really proposes a ,-.ange substantially
as set forth does not surprise me. The
change as outlined would not, however,
in my judgments, be so radical as might
at first be thought. General Brooke is
now civil governor as well as mill.
tary governor. General Wood, if he
should be made the head of the govern
meni in Cuba, would be, as l under
stand the scheme, denominated civil
governor, but he would not be divested
either of his military rank or of mill
tary authority and power. A military
force would remain in the island and
would be necessary-or at least almost
certainly-subject to the supreme head,
the civil governor. 1t has been our
constant aim and practice to subordin.
ate the military to the civil as much as
possible.
"Hence. should not regard the
change stated to be proposed as long
step toward the establishment of q
purely native government"

year be deprived of nocturnal fall of
stars
"Still," said the lecturer, in con-
solatory way, "if the fall occurs here in
the day time, we will see fairly good
exhibition next year"
lie went on to demonstrate that in
about every 33A years the earth in it's
revolutions around the sun ran into
swarms of meteors. These are particles
of comets that have disintegrated by
repeated explosions. In 1888 and in
1866, some of the meteors or falling
stars" were as bright as the full moon
and If the conditions next week are
favorable equally brilliant heavenly
displays may be visible.
THE TIME TO SEE THEM.
The observer, the professor suggested,
should look up in the north east about
midnight Tuesday and Wednesday of
next week. Should the heavens furnish
no unusual spectacle then about /
o'clock on the morning of November 16
ought to repay their vigils. Vari-color-
ed meteors are promised to shoot
through space and an ariel panorama
such as may not be visible for at least
another 33 years is confidentially ex-
pected.
In Boston, in 1888, 100000 falling stars
were computed to have been visible in
the eight hours duration of the
phenomenon. About the same number
were seen in the same time in Europe
in 1866. Sometimes the dropping stars
explode, ricochetting in eccentric lines
and making a fiery prism of the
heavens. These meteors travel at the
rate of from 26 to A miles second, and
each is visible only for a second or two,
and often for only a fraction Of second.
When they get within the earths at
mosphere, the heat becomes so great
that they are consumed, or, as it were,
evaporated. No falling star in these
showers, declares the professor, had
ever reached the earth's surface.
Dr. Ell<in, professor of astronomy at
Yale, has made elaborate preparations
to photograph the expected phenomena
AT Harvard, too, and at most of the
other universities extensive prepara-
tions have been made. The federal
government has placed the astronomic-
al apparatus at West Point at the
service of Columbia university, and
many photographers in New York have
offered their cameras to the university
observers

laws of New York on the ground that
1t has been in violation of the Valentine
anti trust law and has forfeited the
right to do business in Ohio.
Suit also was instituted against the
United Salt Company of Cleveland, it
being alleged that this company has
been merged into the National Salt
Company. The salt works at this place
which were purchased by the National
Salt Company have been closed and the
price of salt has been advanced, it is
said, 30 cents on the barrel.

works, some 400 boilermakers, helpers,
molders, and blacksmiths being on
strike.
The concern is crowded with orders
and the outlook for a settlement is
anything but favorable.
The Immediate cause of the trouble
was the discharge of three helpers,
who had refused to do the work for
$l.oO day, of regular boilermalSers or
mechanics who had been earning $3.50.
The strikers who have received the
Endorsement of the Central Labor
union, of Akron, declare they will not
return to work until the discharged
men are reinstated.
