CAN'T GET IRON FOR SHIPS.
Shipbuilding Plants in Philadelphia
 Embarrassed for Lack Of Material.

Philadelphia, July 6.-The scarcity of manufactured iron is a great handi- cap to the construction interests cf this city, particularly builders of ships At
 che yard of the Neafe & Levy com-
 pany, seven keels are ready to be
 laid. but there is not Q plate of iron
 on hand to make a start They also
 have a contract for three toruedc-
 boat destroyers for the government and the iron for their construction has just begun to arrive, although they should by now have been well under way. President Seddinger of the com pany said, today that his firm had re- Ceived a contract for the building of a freight and passenger steamer for the Weems Steamboat company of Balti- more. but ewing to the scarcity of manufactured iron they had to insist upon the time limit being eliminated. The same trouble to get manufactured iron exists at the Cramp ship yard
 where work on some ships has been practically suspended pending the ar rival of a supply of the necessary ma terial. If the situation is not soon improved shipbuildors say they will be heavy losers.

STRIKE IN PINGREE's FACTORY
Use Of New La5or-Saving Machine

Detrcit, Mich, July 6.-The big Pin gree & Smith shoe manufactory was shut down this afternoon and GOO hands were thrown out of employment It all grew out of the introduction of a new machine for turning shoes. These machines do the work that men form erly did and three boys can do the work of six men. The firm served mo- tice on the union that it had no fur ther use for the union stamp and hereafter the shop would be open to all alike, and no preference shown to union or non-uniOn men.
 The turner's served notice on Frank C. Pingree, the manager of the shop, that the machines must be taken out or there would be a strike. Frank

Money In Abyssinia.

The few travellers who have taken
the time and trouble to look into Men
elek's queer kingdom of Abyssinia tell
strange tales of 1t. Besides the Maria
Theresa, 1880 dollars, the people OF
Abyssinia, for small change, use bar
OF hard, crystalized salt, about ten
inches long and two inches and q half
broad and thick, slightly tapering to-
ward the end, five of which go to the
dollar at the capital. People are very
particular about the standard fncnesa
of the currency. II 1t does not rtEg
nothing will induce them to take It,
Then, 1t Is a token of affection among
the natives, when friends meet, to give
each other a lick of their respective
amolis, and in this way the material
value Of the bar is also decreased. For
still smaller change cartridges are
used, of which three go to one salt.
1t does not matter what sort they are,
Some sharpers use their cartridge IN
the ordinary way, and then pu. in
some dust and dummy bullet to make
up the difference, or else they take out
the powder and put the bullet in again

A well-known member of the Detroit
bar tells the Free Press this story;
Some years ago l attended a session
of the circuit court up in the state. A
pro confesso divorce case was called,
and 1t so happened that the Judge was
very much opposed to divorces, espe-
cially those which were unopposed.
After the attorney for the complain
ana in this case announced himself
as ready to proceed, the judge asked
II anyone appeared for the defendant.
There was silence for a moment, and
the judge repeated the question. At
one end Of the lawyers table sat an at
torney who had acquired the liquor
habit and who was, at the time, con-
siderably under the influence of stimu-
lants. He was noticed struggling to
get on his feet, and. on observing him,
the judge seized the opportunity and
asked: DO you appear for the defend
ant, Mr. Blank No, your honor, |
merely rose to remark as friend OF
the court" that with Brother Double
blank as attorney for the complainant
and no one on the other side, 1t was
about an even thing Then Blank re-
sumed his seat, while the whole court
roared with laughter"

Electricltx for stInr..

According to DR.. Friedlander Of
Wiesbaden. electricity is an antidots
against stings of insects. His plan in
such cases is to apply constant cur
rent and to place q negative cathode
on the spot stung by the insect. CAL
vanization produces a rather strong
sensation of burning, but at the same
time the pain from the sting disap-
pears, and II the electricity Is applied
very soon after the wound has been
inflicted there is little or no swelling.
The current. however; does excellent
service even IL 1t be not applied until
some time has elapsed, for 1t removes
the pain and also quickly reduces the
swelling. The supposition is that the
poison which the insect has injected
through the skin is neutralized and
rendered innocuous by the current. DR..
Friedlander has repeatedly made ex-
periments Of this kind on persons who
have been stung by bees and wasps
and has invariably found them success
full. He naturally believes that a SIM
liar result would be obtained in the
cases of persons stung by other In
sscts.

An International BIRD ou..s,o..

In addition to the destruction
wrought by pugnacious sparrows at
home, English swallows and martins
suffer severely during their migrations
from bird-hunters in Italy and France.
Millions are thus slaughtered every
year, and the Society for the Protection
of Birds has been asked to protest to
the governments of France and Italy
on the ground that the killing Of the
English birds while crossing their ter
ritories is leading to serious increase
of insect pests in England. England
has never been backward in protect

her aegis will be found to cover those
