Saved a Mans Life Who Was Dying
of Quinsy.
In the hallway of a Philadelphia
doctors house stands fine example Of
a grandfather's clock, the possession of
which the medical man owes entirely
to a pinch of snuff, says the Philadel-
phia Record. Some years ago the doc
tor in question set his heart upon such
a timepiece, and devoted two Of his
vacations to clock-hunting. He visited
many New England farmhouses with
out success, as old furniture has been
pretty well gathered up by the dealers
down east" and then carried his
quest into Delaware and Maryland,
where he found many old clocks, but
none Of them for sale.
He was about to return home dis
consulate when he was called into COLI

hausted, when the Quaker city doctor
bethought himself of an old snuffbOX

powerful tobacco the doctor assailed
the nostrils Of the sick man, who, sneez'
ing violently, broke the abscess in his
throat that was choking him to death
| Stimulants were administered and the
sick man recovered.
The Philadelphia doctor left the place
the morning after this remarkable
operation, but he had not been home
week before the grateful Marylande1
sent him a grandfather's clock, ac
companied by card, upon which was
written: This clock, which struck the

New Zealand has anticipated the rest

New Zealand has anticipated the rest
Jf the world by enacting a law which
deals so nationally with all trade dis
putes that it has actually prevented
strikes for the last five years. 1t is
impossible to present more than an
outline of the plan. Both associations
Of employers and the trade unions may
be incorporated. Those which are
chartered, or registered, choose the
members of their own board and also
the members of the court to which dis
puties are referred. Whether registered
or not the associations and trade unions
are subject to the law. The colony of
New Zealand is divided into industrial
districts, for each of which there is a
conciliation board elected for three
wears. 1t consists of two persons
chosen by registered employers; two
by registered trade unions; and one
disinterested person elected by the four
who is Chairman. When a dispute
arises between employers and the men
inl their employ either party may refer
the matter in dispute to the district
board, which has full authority to in
vestigate the facts and to recommend
a settlement. In case either party will
not accept the decision, the matter Is
referred to the state court. This con-
sists Of one person representing the
trade unions, one the employers, and
a chairman, a judge Of the Supreme
Court appointed by the Governor. The
court has a three years term and is
wisely independent of politics. A de-
cfsion by this court is final and must
be accepted, under penalty for viola
ton, not exceeding FIVE hundred
hounds. or twenty-five hundred dollars.
Moreover, when a dispute has been re-
ferred to the conciliation board, and
until 1t is finally settled, strike or
lockout is Illegal. That there have been
| about fifty cases referred to district
boards or to the court in the past five
wears. that during that time there has
| heen neither strike nor lockout in New
| Zealand, and that in every case the
decision has been accepted by both
parties. seems to prove, either that the
law is excellent, or that it is excellently
administered. Perhaps it demonstrate:

country is too apparent to require argu

MAKES OLD CLOTHES DO.

Woman's Profitable Business in Silk
Remnants and Petticoats.
Jumping at conclusions is usually a
safe way for the feminine mind to
reach profitable decision.
Il met woman not long ago on the
road" remarked Chicago drummer,
who gave me point or TWO on how
a bright woman can make her way in
the world. She was a widow, with
two children to support, and was house
keeper of an Indianapolis hotel until
her health failed. She had to give it up
at last, though she tried to hold on,
for that was all she knew how to do,
and she retired with only $100 or SO to
go on. Not knowing exactly whittier
to turn, she went to New York City
and just wandered around for q while
looking at things. One day she saw
the women crowding the life out of
one another at bargain sale of skirts
and a thought struck her. She let il
develop for day or two and then spent
all the money she had for silk skirts
that were destined for the bargain
counter. They were rumpled and look.
ed jaded and tired, but she took them
as they were at small figures, and car
ried them to her rooms. There she
ironed and pressed them out till they
looked like new, and then went out
into the suburban towns to sell them
She found ready purchasers at good
prices and came back for more. These
she made as good as new and had nc
trouble in disposing Of her stock.
"She added shirt waists next and
then began getting shOpworn silks

Needle.Threading.

improvement in the method of holdini

1t. 1t is to be held between the thirt

stead Of by the thumb and forefnger
palm uppermost. The advantage o:
this is that the thumb and first finge.
can be used to grip the smallest end Of
the thread as soon as it protrudes from
the eye, a method preferable to that o.
letting go the thread and endeavorini
to get hold of the end with the righ
hand. This prevents the weight of thu
cotton from dragging the cpd out of th'
