This is not the only country that
has labor troubles. An elaborate re-
port just published by the statistical
bureau OF France shows that during
1900 there were 902 strikes in that
country, in which 222,71 workers
took part, at loss of 3,76O,577 days
wages. The report also shows that
1,115,524 days wages were sacrificed
b. 26,754 employees who wanted to
work, but were compelled by those
who organized the strikes to remain
idle. Finally, the report shows that
only % per cent. of all the strikes re-
suited in victory for the strikers.

There are dangers in being too
young. A female employe in Hacllen-
sack, N. j., sued for wages. In court
she testified to her age, and she put
the figures so low that the case was
thrown out of court because as a self
confessed infant she had no right to
sue. Then her lawyer offered to prove
that she was over age, but he was
too late. A girl should be permitted
to have two ages-one when she her
self sues and one when she has a
sutton. The seven ages of man justi-
fly two ages OF woman.

The announcement that the apple
crop in certain sections of New York
and other states from which the bulk
of the fruit is usually obtained is
practically failure has been re-
ceived with comparative Indifference
by the same public that is lamenting
the losses to the grain crops of the
west. Probably this is due to the
fact that few persons realize the
value of the apple crop. The Ameri-
can apple crop in 1900 was worth
fully 1890, 100000, while the hay crop
Of 1899 was worth only about $tt2,-

Volcanic eruptions in various parts
of the earth show that the universal
excessive heat has been due to the
fact that Mother Nature has chosen
this time to bake an unusually large
baking in her subterranean oven.
Whether it be a new island which has
been launched somewhere on the sea
or new star now set out to cool in
the heavens, the baking is doubtless
completed and the oven will be per-
mitted to cool off gradually.

Some one has discovered that sun
stroke is also the work of a microbe
of peculiar shape and kind. 1t only
remains now to find the germ which
causes people to freeze to death in

struck by lightning and the bacillus
that plays havoc with persons who
are run over by railway trains can
be hunted up and identified later.

skirt in double rows with very mar
row space between the two and much
wider space between the doublets.
Four or five rows are sufficient, and
they take the usual form of rounding
down in the front and up at the back.
This is distinctly novel trimming, as
the bands are attached to the skirt in
the center only, leaving the edges free.
The coat is of the satin silk and the
idea is entirely new in the way of mus
lin frocks.
This mode of using bands is at least
a change from the miles of bands seen
everywhere on every kind of a gown,
stitched down fat on the edges. It
is exemplified again on pale blue silk
muslin, striped between groups OF
tucks up and down, with double band
of white mousseline run through the
center with one row of narrow black
velvet ribbon. SARAH DAVIDSON.

A Death Tax Of 5000.

A gentleman was recently sent by
his physician to Caux, South Mon

died there after few weeks. The hO-
tel in which ,he died charged his rela-
tiyes a death taxi of 5000. The lat

forced to pay in order to obtain the
body. An inquiry into the matter dis
closed the fact that "a regular charge
of 5000 was made to every guest dying
in this hotel, and not only this, but
that several hotels in other portions OF
Switzerland had adopted the me sys-
tenn of extortior. In the case of a
death from infectious disease there
might be some excuse for such a

quired disenfection- but under any

to look out for the coming of the sew
enteen-year locusts The advance
guard may be expected this year, but
not in sufficient numbers to do much
injury to trees. Next year, he de-
clares, countless millions of the pests
will swarm over the state, and will do
widespread damage to orchards. He
recommends that no orchards or shade
trees be set out this season, and if they
are set out they must be carefully
watched and protected. The state ge-
ologist says the locusts are due June
10, 1902, at which time they will have
been in the earth for II years. They
will then appear, climb the young
trees, sing and deposit their eggs for
the crop which is to appear II years
hence. The deposit of the eggs, he
states, is what Injuries the trees.

BANK WON THE CASE.
Gets Verdict of 81 900 Against the
Southern Express Company.

From the Albany Herald
The case of the Commercial Bank OF
Albany. Ca. VS.. the Southern Express
Company came up for It's new trial be-
fore Judge W. N. Spence in the supe-
rior court yesterday afternoon. The
case was concluded this morning, the
bank receiving a verdict for 81 ,O60, the
full amount of the claim, with interest
at per cent. since July, 1891.
The readers of the Herald will re-
member this case, which has been a
very interesting one. In July, 1891, the
Commercial Bank shipped a bag of
gold, containing $4,000, to its New
York correspondent. The bank re-
ceived the express company's receipt
for s.. 600, but when the bag reached
the correspondent in New York it con-
tanned only 81, $40. The bank brought
suit against the Southern Express
Company to recover the shortage OF
$1,000 The case was tried several
wears ago before Judge Bower, and q
verdict was won by the plaintiff. A
motion was made for new trial by the
attorneys of the express company, and
it was granted and given Yesterday,
resulting as above stated.
Messrs. j. w. Walters and W0Oten
& Crosland represented the plaintiff
and Messrs. D. Fl Pope & Son the de-
PENDANT in yesterdays trial.
