Two Hundred Miners Laid on at
Colorado Mine.

Cripple Creek, Colo, April 6-Two
hundred miners have been laid
on at the Portland mine on account
Of the high rates demanded BY the

a few men win be kept az work in
the drifts and shafts but production

tors are able 10 secure better rates

There Is little question but that nearly
an the biz mines win follow the exam
pie Of the Portland and either close
down absolutely or curtail their output.
which means the throwing out Of em-
ployment OF many hundreds OF miners.

"Nv collie saw him at the same time ana

the DaImatian looked up and saw my coile

SELLING BUTTER BY THE YARD.
Town in Which the Product Is
Sold by Measure.

Probably Cambridge, England, is the
only place in the world where one would
be likely to find butter sold by lineal meas
uTe, but here, in accordance with the old
custom, It Is sold by the yard For gen
eratons II has been the practice of Cam
brldgeshire dairy folk to roll their butter
into lengths, each length measuring q
yard and weighing a pound. Deity wrap
ped In strips Of clean white cloth, the
cylindrical rolls are packed in long and
narrow baskets made for the purpose, and
thus conveyed to market
The butter women that In white linen
aprons and sleeves preside over the stalls
in the mart have no need Of weights or
scales for dispensing their wares. Con-
slant practice and an experienced eye en-
able them with stroke OF the knife to
divide yard Of butter into halves or quar-
tiers with almost mathematical exactness.
Tho university people are the chief buy
ers Of this curiousiy shaped article In ad-
dition to being famed for Its purity and
sweetness, Cambridge yard butter" is
emiuently adapted for serving out 20 the
university students In the daily commons
Cut in conveniently sized pieces and ac-
companied by loaf OF the best wheaton
bread a stated portion is sent round every
morning to the rooms of the undergradu-
ates for use at the daily breakfast and
tea.
