ANOTHER CONFERENCE.
VIII 1t Follow the Celebrated Peace
Convention Into ObIivionf

Will 1t Follow the Celebrated Peace
Convention Into ObIivionf
This is an age of conventions. The
number of national gatherings of all
sorts, both annual and occasional, Is
amazingly large. In order to keep in
the swim it Is necessary for an asso-
citation to convene conspicuously at
stated intervals. Every new movement
must be advertised by congress If it
would attract public attention. 1t may
be questioned whether the enormous
amount of effort that is put forth in
organizing these elaborate talking bees
could not be expended more profitably
in other ways. The results accom-
plished by conventions seem on the
whole to be disproportionate to the
outlay of time and energy. Possibly,
however, the indirect and intangible
educational Influences that are sup
posed to radiate from these assem-
blages may be sufficiently valuable to
Justify their existence. If they accom-
plish no great good, at least they do
no particular harm.
These remarks were suggested by
the prospectus of a national conven-
tion Of employer and employee which
Is to be held In Minneapolis Sept. %
90 "under the auspices of the Eight
Hour league and the citizens of Min
neapolis." The purpose is to bring to-
gether representative employers, the
ablest spokesmen of organized labor
and distinguished investigators of in
dustrial problems for free exchange Of
ideas. 1.-THE promoters of this move
ment," it is stated, "have no cure all
to advocate, no propaganda to spread.
Their one aim is to afford an opportu-
nifty for the two opposing sides In the
present labor disputes to get together
on neutral ground and calmly talk over
the situation" Among the speakers
will be President Cyrus Northrop Of
the University of Minnesota, Professor
Richard T. Ely of the University Of
Wisconsin, Professor John B. Clark of
Columbia university, Hon. Carroll ID.
Wright United States commissioner of
labor and Archbishop Ireland. Many
prominent employers and labor leaders
will also take part In the proceedings.
1t Is expected that President Roose-
velt will be present on one of the five
days.
Undoubtedly the addresses and de-
bates at this conference will be well
worth hearing and reading. But we
do not look for the "great" results pre-
dlcted by its promoters. The citizens
of Minneapolis are attempting to do
what the National Civic federation
recently undertook to accomplish, and
there is no reason for expecting lar
ger measure of success in the one case
than the other. The much advertised
Industrial tribunal established by the
conference of the Civic federation has
already fallen upon desuetude If not
oblivion. We fear that the Minneapo-
lis convention will be equally unpro-
ductive of lasting results. - Boston

An Oh WeIsh Custom.

The khdlAfg of bonfires on hills is
the Simplest. of celebrations at any
time The pruids made four great
fires at thsir festivals in February,
May, August and November. Wales
seems to have been a country espe-
cially tenacious of this custom. Each
family used TO make its own fire, and
as IL yns dying out each member
would throw white stone into it, the
stones, beipg marked for future iden-
tificatioA.. Fhen all said their pray
ers and went to bed, and in the morn
ing they tried to find all the stones
agais. II any stone was missing, it
bet6lseged that the owner of it would
die within a year.
SOME sup9stitions are pretty and
picturesque and attractive; this was
one Of the many which We're cruel as
well as picturesque. 1t would take but
q slight accident to cause a fright that
might We actually dangerous to a su-
perstitous person, and it would not
be hard for an enemy of such a per-
son to cause that fright by stealing
lis stone from the fire.

NATURAL HISTORY.

A whale can remain under water for
all hour and a half.
A lion in Il jungle will jump twenty
five or thirty feet from a standing
start.
A horsefly will live for hours after
its head has been pulled off. The head
of the mosquito hawk will continue
eating its victim when separated from
the thoraX.
Mud wasps manifest great ingenuity
not only in building their nests, but in
placing them in localities where they
will not be injured by rain or preda-
cious animals.
The gray buzzard is said to be the
heaviest bird that flies, the young
males when food is plentiful weigh
ing nearly forty pounds. The bird is
nearly extinct.
The wasp, like the bee and almost
every other insect, is infested with
parasites. Wasps have been captured
which had two or three dozen parasites
clinging to their bodies.
The alligator never leaves fresh wa
ter, while the crocodile often goes to
sea and in the West Indies has some
times been found many miles from
land, heading directly for an island,
possibly out of sight.

THE WfRSTLE WAS SILENT.


A small town in Posen, near the Sile-
sian fronti@, still keeps that relic of
other centuries, the night watchman
who calls the hours. One night-the
London Telegraph tells this remarka-
BILE story--0IIe Of these watchmen, an
old worthy long in service, failed to
blow his whistle when the clock struck
the hour.
Tie tuEgonaster summoned the de-
linquent to account for his negligence.
After some hesitation he declared that
his hast tooth had dropped out and
that he eDufh not hold in his mouth the
official fiat tin whistle.
A council was called, and the subject
was sravAy discussed. Finally one
of the members said that he had heard
of a dentsst at Breslau who supplied
artificial teeth. After long debate the
council appropriated money to send
the ged watchman to Breslau to get
set Of sew teeth.
In dge ttrne the watchman reported
that his teeth had arrived. That night
the burgo1nqster sat up to hear the re-
suit Js hlR astonishment there was
no @Aistie III 10, at II or at midnight.
The .nevt harning he summoned the
watehman
'Tah hiEe got your teeth" he said
indis1lagtJE "Why do you not whistle
as befoseW
Yes, i've got new set of teeth" re-
piled the old man, "but the doctor told
me 10 put ttem in water at night"

Hotel Hart and the proprietor's wife,
Mrs. James Poland, smothered the
flames before Miss Colvin was badly

in the right eye yesterday morning while
attempting to drive away unknown
parties who had bombarded his house.
with stones. The shooting was done
with shotgun, as small grains of shot
were found In the socket OF the eye.
Margaret Mann, aged 10 years, was
burned TO death Monday evening at the
home OF her parents, In Scranton, while
trying to light the kitchen stove with
kerosene. Her parents were sitting on
the porch when they sent her in to get

THE COLLECTOR WHO KNEW
An Illustration of the Danger of Be-
ing Too Self Confident.


1.-THE trouble with you fellows is
you want things, but you know moth
ing about em. You come over here
and carry home lot of truck that
European collector wouldn't give
house room and when you see Il really
good thing you don't know 1t, OF you
won't pay price for it unless some
dealer makes you. You see, you don't
know; that's what's the matter; how
can you? Nobody In America wanted
antiques before the Centennial. If
you'd lived here twenty years, like me-
you'd learn something, you'd find out
that collecting isn't thing of money,
but knowing"
We had been walking In Venice
down a narrow calle while the collect
or was speaking. Look at that old
brass SCALE" he resumed, pointing to
fish stall in the little outdoor market
on which we had just emerged.
"There's Il gem, not very old, but of
the finest seventeenth century Venetian
work. If you saw that in n New York
dealers, all cleaned up, you'd give up
Il good deal for it; but you'd "a passed
1t by a dozen times If l hadn't spoken
about it. See that old junk stand over
there? l never pass a thing like that.
You can never tell what you may pick
up-if you only know"
We had scarcely reached the stand
when the collector thrust out his hand
with the swiftness of a hawk darting
on Its prey and swooped upon a little
jewel box.
"Carnelian! Russian, l should say,
from the Ural mountains It's not of
great value, but it's a pretty little
thing, if it was cleaned up. It's mine,
anyway" To the keeper of the stall:
"Quanto?"
The Venetian slowly uncolled him
self and came down from the church
steps, where he had been sleeping.
"Does the signore want the pretty
triie? The signore knows its value
better than l, and he'll be generous"
"rll give you Ira for it. 1t isn't
worth it, but one mustn't be hard with
the poor"
81 had hoped should get five"
"Well, I'll make it two"
at is the signore's."
"There, you seer exultingly chuckled
the collector "That's what it is to
know. An exquisite carnelian Russian
jewel casket for 40 cents! You'd never
have thought of looking among n lot
of rusty old iron for thing like that,
would you?"
in l,n hal
a miser's clutch.
MAY l see it, please|
He reluctantly handed it to me as
though fearing / might make a sud
den dash down the calle with his treas
ure.
"Pheww said 1 contemptuously,
handing the box back TO him. ITS not
carnelan at all. It's glass, nothing but
glass"
"Glassr' drawing a magnifier from
his waistcoat pocket and mutely ex-
amining the purchase. "fm-Pm-
afraid-it isl" he said sheepishly.
"Of course it is"
T-don't know" sadly. Eyes, 1t is
glass. You see, it's so dirty. Oh, well,
we all make mistakes at times. DO
you want it?' disgust taking the place
of sadness. you can have it for
quarter"
"Well, guess it's worth a quarter"
think my eyes must have snapped.
YES"
And that is how an almost unique
example of the cinque cento came into
my collection of Venetian glass.-New

better pay. Several were put to death
and the others We're imprisoned. 1893
-Masons employed on the Escurial
palace, Spain, refused to work unless
better paid. Several were put to the
galleys, and the rest We're eXiled to
America. 1G25-Strike among the tea
picllers of the central Chinese province
for higher pay. They were hanged by
men in charge of the trust. 1705-The

He showed that the rate of interest

that in the next twenty-five years cap

that fifty years hence such first class
securities as government bonds and
railway securities will bear l per cent
interest. (which" said the lecturer,
