What Puzzled Tommy.

Tommy had been worrying papa
with the usual number of unanswer-
able questions, and had been threat
ened with condign punishment if he
did not keep quiet. He fdgeted about
in silence for some time, but at length
broke out:
'Pa, they say the rain falls alike
upon the just and the unjust, doesn't
it?'
Eyes, yes. Don't ask silly ques-
tions.'
"And it isn't just to steal another
mans UNI brella, is t?'
'Certainly not. If you ask any
more"
''But, pa, the rain doesn't fall upon
the man that steals the umbrella, and
it does on the man that had his stolen.
Funny, amt it, pa?"-London An

and was hoping no one would recog-
nize him till he got to his fathers
house, but his hopes were vain.
A young man entered the "but I"
with friend he had come to meet.
Looking hard at Paul, he exclaim-
cd: "Is this Paul Andrews?" and
on being told that it was, called out
to some other boys standing near:
"Here is Paul Andrews come home
at last" Those boys jumped in, and
as they drove down the street they
told other boys on the sidewalk that
Paul was in there, and the "bus"
had to be stopped so often that, by
the time they got to Paul's home,
there were a dozen or more friends
with him.
He dismissed them at the gate, for
he wanted to meet his loved ones
alone.
AS he went up the walk, his moth
er saw him coming, but as she had
not seen the omnibus stop and not
thinking that young man could be
her little Paul, she waited for him
to ring.
But Paul had seen her through
window, and forgetting that he had
intended to act the dignified young
man and wait to see if his mother
would know him, he rushed in and
soon had her in his arms, calling
out: Mother, am home at last"
Then father, sister and brother-in-
law were sent for and what a rejoic-
ing there was. OF the meeting, the
grand dinner given next day, of the
invitations to dine and sup with old
schoolmates and friends, Paul wrote
many pages to Sis Kate, and he did
not forget his promise to visitl her
again.

WARRANTS FOR STRIKERS.
They nre Wanted For Inciting to
Riot-A Critical situation.

Harrisburg, Pa, July s.-Sheriff
Heiff has sworn out warrants for the
arrest of ten strikers at Williams
town, this county, for melting to riot
and interfering with his deputies in
protecting non-union men going to
and from work in the mines at Lyk-
ems and Williamstown.
The sheriff says the situation in
the region is critical, and that il
there is another outbreak like that
of last Wednesday, when he and his
deputies were assaulted while pro-
tecting non-union miners, he will call
upon Gov. Stone for protection by the
alilitia.
Twenty of the rioters were arrest
ed on Thursday at Williamstown and
held in bail for court but this does
not seem to have improved the situ-
alton, and the sheriff concluded to
bring suit here and compel the riot
ers to come to Harrisburg for a hear
ing. The sheriff came here Monday
morning to make information against
the rioters.

REAR ADMIRAL KIRKLAND's sNUFFBox.
Presented to him by the German emper-
or.l
already showing beautiful snuffboxes,
both ancient and modern. At Tiffany's,
the famous New York jewelry house, a
collection of jeweled snuffboxes has
lately been put on exhibition. Notable
in this collection is the jeweled snuff
box presented by the German emperor
to Rear Admiral Kirkland of the Unit
ed States navy and which is said to
have cost $1,000
The box was given to Admiral Kirk
land when he represented this country
at the opening Of the Kiel canal. 1t
is of large size and made of gold
worked into beautiful and intricate
design by Zehngraf, the artist. On the
cover is q miniature of the emperor,
surrounded by a frame composed of
twenty-nine diamonds. On each side
of the ellipse are three larger gems.
1t is interesting to note the steps by
which snuff taking first rose to fash
ion. Given to King Charles of France
by leading diplomatist, Nlcot (whence
nicotine), it finally came within reach
of the multitude and from first to last
has played an important part in the
worlds history.
Catherine de- Medici Is said to have
been the first woman to take snuff.
Gibbon, the historian, was an inyeter-
ate taker of snuff. Frederick the Great
took it by handfuls and had all his
pockets made of leather and without
corners so that they served as snuff
pouches.
Napoleon l. was another great snuff
taker, or, rather. snuff waster, as his
tory relates that he spilled most of it
over his clothes, little of 1t reaching
his nose. Won Moltke during the three
weeks siege ending with the battle of
Sedan is said to have used a pound Of
snuff.
In this country snuff manufacturing
is large industry. In 1899 1S,000000
pounds were manufactured, and the
average for several years has been a.
100000 pounds. So there Is plenty of
snuff in the United States. Who takes
It? Few nonsnuffers know any snunf
takers, but that is due perhaps to the
fact that they are without the circle.

CONDITIONS UNCHANGED
The Strike of the Anthracite Miners
In Pennsylvania Has Entered
Its Ninth Week.
EVERYTHING REMAINS VERY QUIET.
Warrants Issued For the Arrest of
Ten strikers at WilIiamstOwn,
for melting to RiOt-President
Mitchell in New York for Some
Purpose.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 8.-The
ninth week of the anthracite coal
miners strike opened extremely
quiet. Conditions around the collier
les remain unchanged.
The strikers of this district, which
Is composed of all the territory from
Forest City, 20 miles north of Scran-
ton, to Shickshinny, 16 miles south of
here, were interested in the annual
convention which opened at Nanti-
coke. The meeting, in point of num-
bers, was the largest in the history
of the district. AS far as is known,
no very important business will come
before the convention. President
Nichols is sure of reelection, as
are also most of the others. Vice.
President Adam Ruscavage and Sec
retary John Dempsey are being OPP
posed for reelection.
President Mitchell's sudden depar-
ture for New York, Sunday, continues
to excite interest among the miners
here. Outside of statement made
by one of his neutenants that the mi
ners. chief went to New York for
the purpose of meeting labor leaders,
no information can be had here as
to the exact purpose of Mr.. MitchelPs

GOESUMPIIVBS' ROOMS
Measure to Be Introduced by
Health Dep -rtment.
Danger Arises From ENpectoration
of n Patient, Which Is Liable
to Infect Apartment.

The Health Department has just put
into effect a measure intended to cncour-
age the distinction Of rooms which have
been occupied by patients suffering from
consumption.
The danger from cousumptive patient
arises largely through the material which
he splits up. This material. even with the
best-inforned and most careful patient.
is liable to infect the apartment which he
occupies. and with ignorant and careless
patients it is almost certain to DO so. It
does this by drying on cloths and hand
kerchiefs which are subsequently so han
died as to scatter dry PARTICLES of sputa
on the floor or about the room generally.
with less careful patients the room may
be infected with matter spat directly on
the floor. which dries out and is subse-
quently puiverized by passing feet and
waited about the apartment.
Need of Di=infection.
These particles settle in various out
of-the-way places and are subsequently
disturbed by drafts or by the process OF
sweeping or busting. and thus disturbed
are inhaled by subsequent occupants Of
the room, who may, as a consequence, de-
velop consumption. The Health Depart
ment believes that every room which has
been occupied by a person suffering from
consumption should be disinfected before
it Is occupied by any one else.
In the absence. however, Of any law
requiring cases Of consumption to be re
ported, -is department learns only of
fatal 5ases, and TO those alone. there
fore, can direct particular attention. For
