an Italian anarchist The author says: The truth of the matter seems to be that Austria is slowly and under condi- tions of peculiar complexity, coming in for her full share of the French Revolu- ton and the 'bouleversements' of 4S. It Is the last rumblings of the world-earth- quake in the Southeastern corner of Eu- rope-not the last altogether for Spain's turn is still to come-that we have been listening to, the final bout in the struggle for individual and rational assertion.
 
 A very fine article also is the one upon Water Falls and the Work of the World" The author, Theodore Waters, says: If the wasted waterfalls In the world were to drive dynamos their power would probably be suScient for the me chanical needs of the whole world" This Is an extraordinary statement and gives an idea of the wonderful progress made in the mechanical world since the beau- tiful mountain streams have been utilized to give the necessary force which lights and operates mines, A perfect dream world of possibilities is opened up by the discovery of the possibilities of using this water force. Yet so strange that they have but just begun to use it In operating the mines of the West when the possibil- ities have so long been known. One of the most interesting sights of Geneva has for years been It's wonderful water works, the turbines of which are driven by the marvellous force of the beautiful river Rhone, which flows from Lake Geneva.
 In Harper's Is found the following poem by Virginia Frazer Boyle of Memphis, Tenn:
 They said that love was blind-alack-a-
 dayl
 Then strung the lute with heartstrings
 soft with tears;
 And Love was blind, but thoughtless man
 and maid,
 Forgot that Love had ears. They said that Love was blind, and let
 him play
 With apple blossoms, sifted through the
 years;
 And now each kindred petal In the spring Breathes what Love hears. PAUL PRY.

GRATITUDE OF THE RATHER.
Colonel Tut Tells of the Reward of
 His kind-hearted Brother.

From the New York Sun.
 i've heard a good many snake stories since I've been up in these parts" said Colonel S. Houston Tut of Corscana, Tex, ''and I've seen a lot printed. but never one have I struck that equalled in simple and touching beauty the thing that happened to my brother Jim down on our farm in Texas. Tis is the way it happened:
 You see, Jim was about the kindest hearted chap that ever lived. One day he was going along out on the farm when he seen a six-foot rattlesnake pinned down on the ground by big powder that had fallen on its tail. Now, of course, ninety-nne men out of a hundred would have got a club or a handful of rocks and killed the poor critter right there But that wasn't Jim. No, sir! Jim gets out his handkerchief and wipes his eyes and then rolls that bowlder off n that snakes tail just as gently as he knew how.
 Well, sir, that settled it. Talk of grat- itude? You ought to seen the gratitude of that rattler. He couldn't make enough of Jim Followed him from one end of the farm to the other just like a dog. Used to coil up under Jim's chair at meals and eat out of his hand. Every night when Jim went to bed the snake crawled up on the foot of the bed and slept there till morning You bet they wasn't any body going to disturb Jim.
 ''One night Jim woke up feeling kinder queer. He reached down at the foot of the bed. No snake Up he hoped and struck match. No snake. Not on the bed, nowhere in the room. Well, sir, that minute Jim knew something was wrong He slipped into his trousers took his gun and went down stairs. What do you suppose he saw when he got down in the dining room? Window wide open. Snake coiled around a burglar on the floor, and his tail out of the window rat ting for the police.'

 ARE YOU AN IMMUNE?

The human system, while a very compli- cated organism, Is abundantly able to take care of itself If the laws of nature are not violated. It is natural to be well i; 1t is unnatural to be sick; indeed the hu- man system in normal condition is i'm mune'' from disease, even when there Is direct exposure. It Is only when the laws of nature have been violated, lowering the vitality, developing a weak spot, fore ing some of the organs to lag behind or causing Impure blood that disease ven- lures forth to attack; it is only then 1t can gain foothold.
 If you would be an immune" never all low yourself to run down." It Is then disease will attack you; all the most dangerous diseases of the world are caught when people are run down. Take Dr. Harters Iron Tonic upon the least sign of weakness and for any un- natural pain or ache.
 The don't-feel-well people. of whom there are several millions in the world, and who are too often a trial to them selves and friends. need only take Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic to regain strength and vigor and to become immune from disease and the blues as well.
 Loss of appetite. of. ambition. nervous ness, pains in the head. back, kidneys. limbs, muscles. etc. are all cured by Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic. Prepared by the Dr. Harter Medicine Co.,, Dayton, Ohio. and has been on the market for 45 years. A sufficient guarantee of its great merit. Sold everywhere.

The Anthracite Coal Trade.

The hard coal trade is. on the whole.
is in better shape than is usual at this
time of the year. and all indications are
that the April shipments will be large,'
than anticipated A backward spring
is in part responsible for the demand,
but the chief cause of the buying is
probably the new schedule of prices,
With graded discounts. while the "com-
munity of interests" in the coal roads
makes it probable that the discounts
will be maintained, Buying is pretty
we'll distributed. There is nothing do
ing I'm anthracite at the head of the
lakes. there being practically none
there to sell. In Chicago territory
business is light, pending the opening
of lake navigation. ON account of the
engineers strike shipments will not
start from Buffalo before May 10th,
even il navigation opens before that.
The vessel owners association is still
firm in its attitude toward the engi-
neers. the strike virtually being SIM
ply for the recognition of the engl-
neers' union. The United States Steel
corporation controls large number of

vessels that are not likely to bother
with coal unless rates are high. Coal
carrying will virtually be done by out
side craft. these have formed an as
sociation and are trying to hold rates
to SOC. while coal shippers want 40c.
Owing to the ore carrying fleet not
caring for coal from Buffalo. the distri-
button of return carSoes is now such
that there is no excess for the head Of
the lakes. consequently the rates from
Buffalo to Chicago are the same as
to Duluth. A 40 or SOC. rate from Buff
falo applies to all upper lake ports
except out-of-the-way points.
In the East trade is quite good.
There has been a good demand from
points beyond Cape Cod. Bitumlnous
shippers. in fact, accuse anthracite
buyers of being so eager to get coal
forward as to keep up coastwise vessel
rates, when a 10c. drop was expected.
thus offsetting the April discount Of
1Oc. as compared with May. This is
denied by anthracite sales agents at
New York, who say that long-contin-
ued bad weather is greatly delaying
coastWise movements, so that arrivals
at points beyond Cape Cod are lighter,
not heavier than few weeks ago. Re-
tail buying at Boston. New York. and
Philadelphia is unusually good for this
time of the year.

Chairman Timlin, of the grievance
committee. and he will not talk on the
subject. Frank Jones, president of the
local Switchmen's brotherhood, in
speaking of the matter yesterday. said:
THE stories published in the out of
town papers do us q great injustice,
and there is no more truth in them
than there is in the rumor that we are
going to enter into a strike. In the first
place, we cannot strike if we want to.
unless such an action has been sane
toned by the entire brotherhood
Regarding the reinstatement of Her
rity and Toomey. President Jones had
nothing to say. but it was Cleaned from
another source that request will be
made of the company to furnish them
employment. There is no foundation
for the stories atloat thai these men
will be reinstated. as their services
were unsatisfactory to the company,
and for that reason they We're dis
charged. Furthermore. both of them
were dismissed. and according to the
rules of the order they are not eligible
to consideration from a brotherhood
point of view.
Mr.. Poore. chief clerk to General
superintendent Clarke, stated positive
ly yesterday that no schedule of griev-
ances had been presented for the conf
pany'S consideration. and that so far
as he knows none have been prepared.

Another strike Was inauguratad yes-
terday. when about forty laborers en-
ployed by Contractor NJ. j. Ruddy on
the foundation work of the printing,
plant for the Colliery Engineer COM
pany, on wyoming avenue, refused TO
continue operations unless Il uniform
scale of Sl.5O per day was paid them,
AS the work is almost completed,
Mr.. Ruddy yesterday said that opera :
tions We're not incommoded to any
extent, as he can easily secure all the
men necessary and work them today.
The trouble originated Saturday. The
men were engaged under contract
stipulating that they be paid every two
weeks. Work was starteu week ago
last Wednesday, but Saturday the men
asked for their pay and received it.
Yesterday morning they notified Mr..
Ruddy that every man must be paid
a daily wage of $3.50. Some of. the
men already received that, while oth-
ers, boys and old men. are paid less
and the men received the answer that
only those who deserved it would he
paid the required sum. They then
struck and by so doing threw twen-
ty-siN teamsters out OF work for the
greater part of the day, Some of the
men who received sl,50 per day re-
mained at their tasks. The eXcayat-
ing is now practically completed and
the masons VIII soon begin work.
