in new workmen at once. As an All sonia man said last night: IT the strikers do not go to work very soon, why their places will have to be filled by other men, that is al.' And that opinion expresses volumes. It is un- derstood that if the strikers do not see it to go back this week the Farrel con- cern will undertake the work of put ting men on in their places. This IS condition of affairs that the constaDu- lary of the county fears, although IL IS not admitted at the present time. lt is this undertaking that may make the trouble at Ansonia become very seri- ous matter. There may be riot and blood shed, and on the other hand most peaceable settlement may be eff fected, for hitherto the strikers have shown the most pacific disposition. It has been known for some time that the deputies of Sheriff Durham have been somewhat worried over the outlook at Farrel foundry town, and no one would be more delighted than they if the present labor troubles there should come to an end.

DINING ROOM INCIDENTS.

s'Table manners are conspicuous by their absence in most of the hotel din ing rooms all over the country salG Oscar Helmuth, an insurance adjuster of Chicago. at the Raleigh, sand their lack is not confined to the men one would not expect to know better, by any means. Agricultur1Srs are, as 2 rule, less timid with table furniture than city bred men, and in Knoxville, Tenn, 1 know hotel keeper who was driven into the purchase of neighbor- ing house of entertainment for man and beast as a last resort to save tue large clientage of farmers who made his house their headquarters. The thrilling recklessnesS of these guests became q source of entertainment to the very numerous commercial men who also .patronized the hotel. They would shriel with well-assumed terror when d, rural vis-a-vis lifted a goOdly portion of greens into his mouth on the end of his knife, and. watch for other opportunities to startle all the guests in the dining room and bring the farmers to a sense of their de ficiencies in polite education. The country trade began to leave the land- lord as a consequence, while the trav- cling men flocked to the house for the sake of the fun assured at every meal. Finally the landlord, in despair. bought a--other hotel near his own, and his clerks were instructed to switch all rural guests to the second hostelry.
 But farmers-and congressman, ac- cording to a story I saw in the pa pers recently-are not the only offend CTS.

A NEW PROFESSION.

Forestry is an interesting study, and is i'll a fair way to be a very prof itable one for young man, says the American Boy. We are adopting in this country a system of scientific for estery, and there is and will continue to be great need for men specially versed in the subject The United States government has offered to take supervision of private forests and make plans by which timber may be cut to the best advantage and the for est still be preserved in good condi- ton. without any cost to the owners A great many timber owners are ac- cepting the offer, and, of course. en- ployment is being given to many bright young men who are taking up with this new professiom Many young men who have decided to make for estry their vocation are employed by the government during the summer at $o3 a month and their expenses They work under experts and receive prac- tical instruction. Over 16G applied for positions during three months of last year. Forty of them were undergrad uates of Yale: eleven Cornell and Uni versity of Minnesota; twenty three of Harvard, and three of the Baltimore Forest school. The remainder of the applicants represented several differ ent schools, and some were not col lege men. Three or four months in the woods during the hot season with S2o a month in cash and all expenses paid is pretty good thing for yonng man as starter. If he masters the profession of forestry he can easily add that of landscape gardener, and has paying job for life.
