"If they don't want us to bite, they
shouldn't treat us like dogs" This re-
mark of coal miner during the last
strike in Pennsylvania is quoted by n
writer in The Independent who has
made study of labor questions, Her
bert N. Casson, as illustrating one
cause of strikes which might and
should be avoided. Mr.. Casson has ad-
vised and conferred with the labor lead
ers in many important strikes of late
years, and he holds that lack of little
common courtesy on the part of the
employer is n very frequent means OF
exasperating the members of unions to
the point of lawbreaking. He says that
1t often happens that representatives of
unions are not only refused hearing,
but are sworn at and ordered out of the
office, and that this creates feeling of
bitter resentment in the minds of the
workers, which bears fruit not infre-
quently in the destruction of life and
property. On the other hand, he tie
clares, when the employer is willing to
confer with the secretary of the union
and q strike takes place without any
previous i'll feeling there is rarely any
violence or hoodlumism.

plood as q Germ-KiIIcr.

It has lcng been known that healthy blood acts as a germ-killer in remarkable degree, and that to this property may be ascribed our freedom and safety from the attack of many of the microbes of disease which gain admittance to our frames. To what this disinfectant property of the blood is due is an open question. It may be due in part to the action of our white blood corpuscles in eating up and devouring the microbes that may gain admittance to the circula- ton, while other authorities hold that the fluid Cor lymph of the blood is the real seat of the germ-killing pow CTS. Recent investigations have shown that on plague germs the blood apparently exercises no power, but as regards typhoid germs and those of cholera it does possess germ-killing properties. This research is not con- clnded, of course, but it may serve to show us the reasons why we escape so frequently from the cloud of microbes by which, in civilized existence, we are perpetualls beset- The Scotsman

Mckinley and Secretary Root had clash of opinion as to the wording of the rejection of the action of the Cuban constitutional convention in making wholesale additions to the Platt amend ment, before accepting 1t, that threat ened to be serious for time. MT Root regarded the action of the Cubans as a violation of pledges made by the Cuban delegates who visited Washington and wished to tell them so in plain words. aIr Mckinley, while not doubling the accuracy of Mir Roots view, insisted upon making the rejection conciliatory and. of course, had his way. Secretary Root is very sore on the subject and has much smaller opinion of the Gu bans than he had, and privately calls them tricksters and similar names.

 graphone.

Charles A. Brown the other day, in his office, 145O Monadnock building, Chicago, tested long-distance com munication with the telegraphone. He spoke into the mouthpiece of his instrument, and his words were re- corded on the receiving duplicate in the Times building, New York. He sent this message to William A. Rosen- baum:
 "A new century bears witness to the advent of still greater marvels than the last. The door of progress has just opened tothe possibilities of elec- trical engineering. Chicago salutes New York as copartner in work which shall bequeath rich inherit- ance to posterity."

Another French investi- gator has kept snails for three and one-half years without light, without food, and almost without air, in. a closed box. Their muscular strength is shown by their ability to drag for long distances solid objects on which they have fixed themselves. Larba1e- trier tells of a snail which he saw drag ging for about ten minutes stone that weighed CT times as much as it. self. In the winter the snail retires into it's house and closes the door with a plaster of calcareous mucus. It sleeps for six months, but it wakes in the spring with an enormous appetite. Nature.

almost all dogs of his breed, Jack is the sworn enemy of rats, but he has a most original way of making war on them. While yet a puppy he learned the broncho's trick of buck ing, and has cultivated this art with deadly effect to any and all rodents that come within range. of his vision or scent. Whenever Jack has trailed rodent to the place of assassination he doubles up like jackknife, springs in the air and then suddenly lands on his victim before the latter can begin to realize what his intentions are
 Jack is famous as rat ex- .terminator and he is in great demand in the neighborhood. His owner took Q snapshot of him while he was in a bucking pose, ready to bounce upon a rat that was hidden under the side walk in the rear of MT.

Boys who have seen bucking bronchos at Buffalo Bills show will observe marked resem- b1ance between Jacks leap and those made by the western ponies.

SEES AND BELIEVES
Young Woman Looks at Her Owl
 Heart by Means of X-Ray.
Is Convinced That There Is Nothini the Matter with It After She Sees It Beat Regularly and
 Strong.

Miss Dora B. Peters, of 34 Walton place, Chicago, saw her own hear beat the other day, and was convincee malady. That was surprising to her but even more surprising was the sig, of her heart.
 sMy, isn't it 1arge," she gasped.
 Miss Peters had been told that he. heart was affected, and, thorough. convinced, she sought a physician fo. examination. The physician discov cred that she was not ill, but was pug zled as to the best way to convince he of the soundness of her heart Finalla he decided that the only way was te let her see the organ in action. With the assistance of the X-ray he did this.
 70, my goodness, is that my heart?' cried Miss Peters. 'sJust see the thing wagi''
 Miss Peters is IS years old, and hasa strong constitution, according to he1 physician. She was afflicted with sink ing attacks, and felt sure that hei heart had ceased to beat. Accordingly she visited Dr. J. c. Message, who saw that her heart acted regularly. The difficulty was to convince the girl, So the physician adjusted the X-ray tube. darkened by cloth, behind her back The Horoscope was placed over her heart, and a heavy blanket thrown over her head to shut out any light that might find it's way into the room
 The girl then held mirror directly in front of her heart. First she saw iI the mirror the shadow of her watch.
 That must be my heart," she ven. tured. "It doesn't move.''
 Then, as her eyes became accus. toned to the darkness, she began to discern the outlines of her heart, Gradually it developed until she saw ii clearly. For several minutes the girl watched the pulsating organ, and then, turning to Dr. Message, she said:
 II guess, after all, it isn't my heart that bothers me.''
 The girl left the physicians office with buoyant tread. Her heart was beating, her heart was light.

The idea of loot in China wassn not, it seems, confined to the soldiers who captured the place, but we are told that the wives and the sweethearts of American ministers also took a hand In the game. That wife of mem Der of the American legation, says one writer, twas guilty of this dis graceful conduct we learn from the testimony of two European ministers, who, at general meeting of the diplo- matie corps, made the following state ment: We did witness one scene of footing, which. together with Lady Macdonald, we tried unsuceessfully to prevent. In the palace we met the wife of an American diplomat, accom- panied by an American curio dealer. We suggested that the reception was exclusively for members of the diplo- matte corps, but she persisted in talk ing the curlo dealer, whose expert opinion she wanted upon some of the empress's ornaments. Reaching the pavilion, the curio dealer said: Here I am informed the most valuable porcelain is concealed" In spite of the protests of Lady Macdonald and our selves, the wife of the American diplo- mat tried to open a cupboard. Final ly she called an American soldier, who pried the cupboard open with his bay onet. Not wishing to assist in a scene we could not prevent we withdrew The picture of that American soldier prying open a cupboard in search of valuable porcelain is suggestive of much. He was no ordinary burglar engaged in commonplace robbery. He had converted his bayonet into jimmy by orders received from one who was connected by the closest ties with one of the United States official representatives at the Chinese capital. The burglary, for in plain terms that was what 1t was, was of an official character, and as such must tarnish the American name with dishonor."

succeeded in teaching her two beauti- full black cats to do few tricks that are perfectly wonderful.
 To begin with, Plato, the larger, his mistress win call him to her and say: Now, Plato, prepare for your dinner.' Plato will imme diatcly rear upon his launches. lick his paws clean and smooth down his glossy fur.
 A chair is then placed with it's back to the table, and plate of meat cut in small pieces placed near it. After a napkin has been tied around his neck he is ordered to take his place at the table and eat his meal. Standing upon his launches in the chair the intelli- gent animal will lean overithe back of the chair, take piece of meat in his paw and convey it to his mouth.
 Strangely enough, however, if the napkin is not tied round his neck be- fore the meal Plato will at once gob- b1e up the meat just like any ordinary cat, and cannot be made to pick up one piece at Q time with his paw.
 Next Socrates is given chance to display his talent. A stick about three feet in length is held vertically, with one end resting on the floor. At the command to show his claws Sock" will stand on his hind feet, and, distending his claws as far as he can, reach up and get firm clutch on the stick. Then he will slowly lift his hind feet off the floor and hang at arms length from the stick.
 Plato is very jealous of this particu- lar performance on the part of his chum, and never fails to slip and tickle him on the hind feet. He will keep this annoyance up till Sock < drops from the stick and climbs upon 9 chair for protection. s,4d
 When it comes to an Instrumental solo Plato is an expert. He will climb upon the stool and hammer the keys of the piano until the whole room re- sounds with the strains of what, from its lack of melody, approaches very nearly to some operas. Socrates can not be induced to play the piano alone, but after a deal of coaxing and a bit of meat will climb upon the stool be- side Plato and assist in duet
