ANIMALS THAT 60 ON STRIKE.

Men are not the only animals that
goon strike. Beasts and birds some
times quit work suddenly and make
trouble for any one who tries to force
them to resume their labors. Often,
when large herd of horses are in
field, they bunch together under the
trees, eat less than usual, are more
restive, and are always neighing and
rubbing noses. The outcome of such
actions usually is that the entire herd
decline to be saddled or harnessed,
chase their attendants and bite, kick
and squall all day. The oldest ''jog-
trotter," after conference" of this
kind, will try to smash up his cart
and behave like an unbroken colt.
Cows sometimes are seen crowding to-
gether in the pastures, and then the
farmer looks for trouble. They fd-
get and "moon' about, and when
milking time comes they raise stren-
uous objections to being MIXED, and
are about as intractable as mules.
Bullocks, when they get on a fit of
this kind, actually are called "strik-
ers' in England, and are likely to
become dangerous.
Birds are famous for "woman's
rights strikes-that is, the females
flock together, abandoning or driving
away the males, and refuse to do any
"housework" whatever. They de-
sert their nests and will not finish
building they leave their eggs to
grow cold and unhatchab1e, and moth
ing will induce them to return. The
male birds grow extremely concerned
at such times, but they have no rem
edy, for throughout the beast and
bird creation the male will never at
tack the female, though the opposite
often happens. Warblers and star
lings especially are given to these
female workers Strikes" and the
affair often becomes serious, for a
whole district will be full of nests to
rot, sets of eggs abandoned and even
young broods hatched out before the
strike was 'on" left to starve.
Certain kinds of black ants have
little yellow ants which do most of
their work for them. Once in a while
these little yellow fellows will go on
strike, and the blacks try to
force them back to work by cutting
off their food supply. If that does
not succeed they will attack the strik-
ers in force or will make a raid and
get another gang of "yellows" into
the colony. But the newcomers, as
a rule, join the strikers. The strike
ends by the "yellows" escaping and
founding a colony for themselves, or
they give in and settle down to work
again.
1t is a well-known fact that rabbits
are the most determined Of animal
strikers. In rabbit colonies there is
nearly always certain number of
stronger rabbits who do most of the
hardest digging and burrowing, and
about once in every two years these
appear to grow discontented and de-
cline to make the passage which con-
meets all the burrows in big warren.
Without these passages the assembly
is not safe from stoats and ferrets.
and the commonwealth is endanger-
ed. But the large digging rabbits
give up work and sit about browsing
in the pasture all day and night, and
unless they choose to go to work
again all new excavations for fresh
rabbit families have to stop.-FieN
and Stream.

THE BROTHER of friend of mine
was some few years since curate in
one of the ironworking towns of
Lancashire. One day man in the
parish of which he had charge fell
into a furnace of molten metal, and,
of course, vanished forever. The
comrades of the poor fellow were
greatly concerned, and did not rest
until the curate had consented to
bury with religious rites one of the
rails into which the iron was run.
The rail selected was inclosed in
wooden box, borne to the graveyard
and laid solemnly in the ground,
though, understand, it was not ta-
ken into the church.

A NEGRO PROPHET PREDICTS CALAMITY.

Philadelphia is to be visited by a
terrible calamity, according to Rev.
Andrew Jones, a colored prophet from
Kansas, who is at present in that city.
Jones claims to have predicted the
Charleston earthquake, the Johns
town flood and the recent big storms,
and says he has newspaper clippings
that prove his claims. The colored
prophet said from the pulpit:
'I have premonition that Phila-
dephia is to be visited by a great ca
lamity in the near future, because of
the sin and wickedness of the people.
Political corruption, vice and crime
have been and are being permitted to
go on with impunity.
"God will intervene, for when a
government, community or people be-
come corrupt, retribution comes. I
cannot set the time definitely, but it
will come unless there is repentance.
| have come to warn you. Gods pa
tience with the people is nigh ex-
hausted, and if they do not mend
their ways they will be swept from
the earth.
AS to the entire country, the
United States will again be involved
in war with a nation they now be-
lieve they are III harmony with.
There will come famine and pesti-
lence. God has revealed to me that
there will be no prosperity until 1881.
II get my foundation for this pro-
phecy from the fifth chapter of James.
The famine which was put upon the
Egyptians will be visited on the
United States in 1905. The most of
the inhabitants will die"

Many years ago Senator Blackburn
Of Kentucky was summoned to Wash
ington in the middle of June to look
after a small matter of patronage.
His departure was so sudden and the
prospect of his staying more than a
day or two away from home so remote
that he carried with him only hand
bag. But business heaped up on him
after his arrival at the capital, and he
was obliged to telegraph back a re-
quest for truthful of summer cloth
ing. His little daughter happened to
be the only member Of the family at
home when his dispatch arrived, and,
thinking it her duty to respond
promptly. she packed a trunk and ship
ped it, first slipping note inside, as
follows:
Dear Papa-l send you all the clothes
can find and hope you are well.
The trunk contained seven white
shirts, six winter scarfs. one tooth
brush, one bowie knife and two re-
volvers. 1t was a rueful outlook for
Blackburn, with the thermometer up
among the nineties but he listened to
no preferred condolences. my daugll-
