Among the methods Of Judge Ander-

Asleep for Nineteen Years.


Great interest is again being" dis
played in the case OF Mile. Bouyenval,
who for nearly nineteen years has
been in state of catalepsy, taking
neither meat nor drink. and to all ap-
pearances dead, save for the regular
but almost imperceptible beatings of
the heart. says a Paris newspaper.
Marguerite Bouyenval. who lies in a
little bed on the ground floor of her
mothers cottage. in: the village OF
Thenelles. near Saint Quentin, is now
nearly SO years old. She has been Wis
tied by hosts of people. including a
number of medical celebrities, and all
sorts of theories have been put for
ward by way of accounting. for her
condition. The local physicians are of
opinion that the trouble was caused
by some violent emotion, and this
view was set forth by an expert in his
report to the Saint Qr,entin Court,
which years ago went into this pecu-
liar case. Now. however the idea is
started that Marguerite Bouyehval
may have been magnetized, and not
having afterWard been properly
aroused, may thus have remained; in

Cost and Length of Strike.

The most recent report of Carroll
o. Wright United States commits
sioner of labor, covering strikes and
Iockouts in this country for twenty
years from Jan. /, 1881. to Dec. 81,
1900, is credited with being the most
interesting of any reports issued by
the government.
The average duration of strikes
In the twenty years was 23.S days and
that of lockouts 97.1 days. In the ag-
gregate the number OF days involved
in these strikes amounts to 2,7S9 ,160
days, which reduced amounts to
7.6415 years. The loss. in wages to
workingmen as a CONSCIENCE of the
strikes was S257, 7,s63,47S: the loss to
workingmen through lockouts for the
same period was $4S,Sl9,745. The
average loss to each worker involved
was S42 on account of strikes ami $97
on account of lockouts.

Sw oriiish Pierces Plank.

When the fishing schooner Nellie
Grant was hauled out at Noank,. Conn.
a few days ago, a swordtishS sword
was discovered protruding from the
bottom near the forefOot. 1t had been
thrust through the. two-inch plainking,
and was sticking supward from the
wood to a length of ten Inches. 1t
fitted tightly, preventing the inflow
of water, which would have been suf-
ficienr to sink the little craft. Capt.
John Grant, a famous swordfSherman,
recalled the incident of a fight with
the fish. Fl WAS aboHtifour years ago.
and one OF these big fish had been
struck by the harpooner. The blow
:crazed the fish, andSa fierce fight en

and finally lanced in the gills and
killed. When hauled on board part

Pocket Catches Erasinea

IN correcting an error. In spite of the
utmost care a portion of the dirt from
each erasure falls into the machine,
not only causing it to have an untldy
appearance. but. worse still, tendlng
to greatly increase the natural wear
of the mechanism. To get rid Of this
dirt, it is customary to have the ma
chine cleaned at intervals at consld'
cradle expense. and it is question
then if the machine is in proper shape,
as it would have to be taken almost
entirely to pieces to get out all the
fine particles. There is no doubt the
better plan would be to utilize the
neat little device shown in our Illus
tration, consisting Of pocket formed
at the lower edge of slotted metal
plate to catch the erasings as they are
brushed from the paper. The upper
portion of the plate is curved to MT
against the roller and the slot is SO
shaped that the eraser can be moved
vertically or horizontally. The slot
ted plate pressed against the paper
holds it perfectly rigid under the fric'
ton of the roller, and. as the plate is
of thin sheet metal, it is an easy task
to brush the dirt into the pocket. The
device will fit any machine, and is
easily adjusted against the platen over
the error. This is the invention of N

commended the stand taken by James

regarding strikes called without ma

Il fully concur in what President
Bowman says regarding ill-advised, or
rather, hasty strikes. Every effort
should be made to avoid strikes. This
policy the older unions follow out

and conservative action, will bring

hausted. 1t is always good policy to
exercise the greatest amount OF di-

Machine for Hanging Paper.


Below we illustrate the latest thing
IN the way OF automatic machinery,
the paper-hanger, l-vented by julius
NJ. Glickman of Cleveland, o. Accord
ing to the inventor. about all the oper-
ator of this apparatus has to do is to
turn the crank and place the machine
in a new position after each piece OF
paper is attached to the wall. The pa
per is placed in the machine in sim
gle roll and is automatically cut to the
proper length, paste applied and the
paper put on the walls while the oper-
ator is doing nothing but revolving the
wheels by means OF the crank. The
invention consists of a carriage ar
ranged to travel on a vertical track
and carrying roll of paper, paste
holder. a rotary pastebrush, pressure
brushes and knife for severing the
paper at the proper moment. The roll
of paper in unwinding is made to come
in contact with the paste-carrylng
brush, passing thence to the wall. Inc
turning of the crank causes the sup
porting carriage to rise in its toothed
guides, carrying the pressure brushes
across the paper as fast as it is put IN
position. When the top OF the room
is reached the stoppage OF the car
riage is utilized to throw the long
knife blade into slot and sever the
paper. The carriage is then pulled

Over all life's ills victorious.

And beneath their gay folds ripping
In the laughter-laden breeze,
Earth on purest joy is tipplinS,

There are smiles in all our glances.
There is love in all our words;
And where merry Morning dances
There are we and sing like birds:
And the sky above grows bluer.
And our love grows stronger, truer.
Than e'er mortal man dared swear.
Oh. this old world would be hoary
If we let our banners fall
But wel hold them up in glory
Let their radiance fail on ALL

Good Understanding Reached.

After a conference that lasted for
two days. the committee of the Anal
gamated Association of Iron and Steel
Workers and the officials of the Am
erican Tin Plate company reached an
agreement. The mills at Pittsburg,
Pa. will now be in operation uninter-
ruptedly during the summer months,
when the scale of wages is formulat-
ed. This, it is declared, means prac-
tically a continuous scale, preventing
the mills of the American Tin Plate
Company from closing, and renders

American Labor Leglalat ton.

The United States is not so advanc-
ed in labor legislation as foreign
countries, notwithstanding the gen
eral idea in this country that we are
far ahead in all that pertains to the
condition of our workers. That we
have not made greater progress in
this respect is due in part to the fact
that the United States is young
nation and society has not demanded
or required as much regulation as in
the old countries. Furthermore, it is
partly due to the fact that the powers
of the general government are limit
ed, and, still further to the fact that
even the states have tied up their
power to make laws. going as far as
foreign legislation by the adoption Of
state constitutions limiting the eX-
ercise of their own sovereign powers.
These three causes have contributed
to hold back progressive legislation
in behalf of our workers not only in
the states, but also in the federal gov
ernment. and as a result the labor
laws of Germany. Great Britain and
other European countries show a con
siderably greater degree of fostering
care for the workinglnen than those
of the United States. Germany, for
instance, goes to the extent of estab
fishing a system of old-age pensions
for civilian employees, and the British
employers liability act goes much fur
ther than like legislation in the Unit
ed States.

Ra,.inr walk,r<. one, !,

Many acres, in the west of England
and the midlands are devoted to ash
beds. planted for the growth of walk
ing sticks. For this purpose the young
plants are set not vertically. as they
are in plantations for hop and pea
sticks, but are laid horizontally. Many
of these plantations belong to small
farmers. or are leased by men en-
ployed in other work. The only work
necessary is to keep the ground well
hoed and clean from weeds, and In
four years the sticks are ready for
cutting. An acre will then yield from
$3.50 to $3.50 worth OF sticks, which are
cut, tied in faggots and sent to a stick
factory.
