The Strike, However, is Not as Ex-
 tensive as Was Anticipated.
 New York, May 1.-The strike of me- chanics and laborers which had been looked for today did not materialize to the extent that had been anticipated, al- though a great many men, including 30.- 900 Italian excavators. are on strike The agreement reached last night by the rail- road officials and the marine engineers to submit their differences to arbitration put a stop to the general tie up of all freight steamers in this vicinity. Freight con- tinues to move as usual. but the demands of the engineers have temporarily de- moralixed the movement of crafts which depend on tug boats.
 A number of owners of tug boats de- cided to resist the demands of the en- gtneers and tie their boats up. while in other cases the engineers left their posts Some of the companies were successful in securing non-union men to take charge of their engine rooms. The only seri- ous aspects are in connection with the movement of barges which bring New York's ice supply and the docking and taking to sea of the big ocean liners.
 The strike ordered by the teamsters' union last night has not as yet reached any proportions. The orders were is- sued to 400 members, but only one- fourth of these quit work

CHINA VERY UNEASY
UNABLE TO RESIST DEMANDS
 OF RUSSIA.
M. Plancon Has Conference With the Ministers and Professes to Be Satisfied With Their
 Objections.

London, May 2.--In a dispatch from Pekin the correspondent of The Times says that in an interview held on We'd nesday with all the ministers of the Chi nese Foreign Office, M. Plapcon, Russian Charge dAffaires. pressed for reasons for the rejection of the Russian demands.
 The Ministers replied that they were unable to give the reasons separately. M. Plancon then. on behalf of his govern ment, requested a statement of China 8 intentions regarding, first, the contem- plated alteration in the government of Mongolia; second. the non-alienation by lease. concession or otherwise of any DOT ton of the Liau Valley to any other pow CT. and. third. the opening of new treaty ports in Manchuria.
 To the first clause the Ministers replied that the attenuation had not yet received imperial sanction: to the second that China had no intention of alienating any of her territory and to the third. that the opening of ports would depend upon trade developments.
 M. Plancon professed to be satisfied with these replies. but the Chinese are still uncomfortable, knowing how power less they are to resist Russia's demands. It is announced that M. Lessar. the Rus ian Minister to China, Is returning to R6hln dHu LHaL tue IululIfuent OL the terms of the Manchurian convention will be postponed until after his arrival and will result from his negotiations. ''The fact that Russia now appears so anxious to repudiate the orders given M. Plan con-" concludes Tho Timess correspon- dent, does not mean that her demands have been abandoned; by these orders Russia has acquainted China with what shs expects.'
 Foreign Secretary Lansdowne an- rounced in the House of Lords today that he had received verbal assurances from the Russian Ambassador in regard to Manchuria. The Ambassadors state ment as repeated by Lord Lansdowne, was on practically the same lines as For eign Minister Lamsdorff's to Ambassador Mccormick at St. Petersburg. The Rus sian Ambassador here assured Lord Lans- downe that Russia was not desirous of excluding foreign consuls from Nanchuria of obstructing foreign commerce or of monopolizing the use of ports as she con- siders the development of foreign com merce to be one of the main objects for which she constructed railroads in that part of the world.

Child Labor Law in Effect.

Charleston, s. C., May 1.-The child la bor bill, known as the Marshall law. went into effect throughout South Carolina to- day.

An exception is made in the law in cases where the labor of children under the prescribed age is absolutely necessary to the support of a family.

State Board of Assessors in fixing the average rate of taxation of the State in assessing railroad property.

FELINE FRIEND OF coNv1cTs.
Big Gray Cat Is fine Pet of Prisoners
tn the Michigan City Ond.)
Penitentiary.

The pet of the prisoners at the In
diana state prison at Michigan City
is gray cat, said to be the largest
animal of the kind in the state. It
weighs % pounds, is nine years old
and has been inside the big walls
since it was kitten. All over the
big institution it is known as Tige,
says a local report.
Warden Reid, who values the an
imal very highly. says that Tige has
a queer fondness for the prisoners,
one of whom claims to be its master
and from whom it receives all kinds
of attention. The cat makes up with
very few of the officers, allows no
familiarities on the part of strangers
or visitors, but in every case ex-
poets the caress of the prisoner and
gets it.
In its early days it was the cats
custom to visit the dollhouse and to
make friendly calls along the ranges,
rubbing its fur at each grated door
and singing it's little song as if it
wished to purr out its sympathy for
the confined. But there came time
when its place was usurped by an
other of its kind and this resulted in
the old haunts being abandoned
This was brought about by the cell
house keeper bringing to his abode
a kitten and the dislike occasioned
by the newcomer has been unrelent-
Ing Tige may now be seen about
the yard. coming and going without
hlndrance. Most of the time it stays
about the pumphouse. where its mas
ter holds sway and where no other
feline may intrude and get away
without fight.

PASSION AND THE HEALTH.
Some Emotions Tend tn PrOIOng Life
While Others Have the
Opposite Effect.

1.-The passions effect On the health
is not sufficiently regarded said a
physician, according to the Philadel-
phia Record. THE passion which is
best for the health is avarice. 1t
keeps one cool, encourages regular
and industrious habits, leads to abb
stemiouSness and makes against all
excess. And hence the avaricious,
the misers. live to a great age. The
misers of history were all noted for
their longevity. Rage is very bad for
one. This passion causes an irregu-
lar. intermittent beating of the heart
and the intermittency in time may
become chronic. Hatred creates
fever. If we hate we grow lean.
This hot passion eats US like a fame.
Fear is bad for the nerves, the heart
and the brain. and, therefore, we
should never permit ourselves to be
afraid. But the strangest effects of
all have been caused by the passion
of grief. The medical books record
cases where, coming suddenly, in a
violent shock, it has caused loss of
blood from the lungs in one person,
paralysis of the tongue in another
and failure of sight or temporary
blindness in q third

FORGETTING THE cow.
Faithful Friend Has Tided Many
Farmer Over Periods of
Cruel Depression.

Perhaps it is not altogether to be
regretted that when prosperity comes
and nature smiles man is apt to forget
the times Of adversely. says Wallace's
Farmer. At the same time it is I'M
grateful, to say the least, to forget the
instrumentality that pulled him
through, and IT is foolish to suppose
that adversely is banished for good and
prosperity will continue forever. It is
not many years since the dairy cow
stood between the western farmer and
very hard times indeed. Money vas
scarce. Prices of grain, of beef cattle
and other stock were low. Prospects
did not seem very bright to the farmer.
In this emergency the dairy eow stood
between many a farmer and hardship.
She brought in cash every week or
month. She bought shoes for the chill
dren, dresses for the women folk and
well, in some cases, perhaps. tobacco
for the men. She enabled some farm
ers to float over the period of depres-
sion comfortably and many to swim
where without her they would have
sunk.
The hard times have gone. The pig.
the horse, the steer, the grain, are all
bringing good prices. Money is plen-
tiful and cheap. Bank accounts are car
Tying comfortable surplus. Under
these conditions many farmer is for
getting the good old COW that pulled
hrm though. He is allowing the calf to
run with her. He is forgetting and his
children are not learning how to milk.
The usefulness of the cow for the dairy
is being destroyed. When the turn of
the tide comes and the farmer rRust
turn to the cow again, she will not be
able to serve him as she did before, not
through any fault of hers, but because
of his neglect.
Men cannot farm high-priced land
on horseback. Neither can they always
afford to 81 on the fence and watch
the calf do the milking.

curry her by gentle hand strokes and
give her bit of wheat bran or some
other food she may relish. If she
then resents, keep cool. Procure a
piece of half inch rope and put it
around her body just forward of the

a single bow knot and she will not

Second-As regards her sucking
herself; you are not certain of that,
l think. You can, however, tell by
the appearance of her teats. Many
methods can be used to prevent cows
doing this. Perhaps as good a way as
any is to put halter upon her and
surcingle around her just back of
the shoulders. Then procure stick
about three feet four inches long for
an ordinary cow-a piece of an old
fork handle makes a good one. Bore
half inch hole through each end of
it SO small rope or cord can be run
through it and faster one end to
the halter ring under the chin and

to Kick and How to Cure Self
Sucking Habit.

There is question as to the cause
of COW kicking. 1t, as a rule, is
caused by harsh milking, and whole

never learned to milk cow with
comfort to the cow; and the result is
she resents by kicking. 1t is posi-

when to wean the CAR.

1t is less trouble to wean the calf at
the start and feed it than to allow the
calf to suck and wean it in the end. If
the calf sucks, you cannot well regulate
the amount of milk it gets, as some
times it will get more and sometimes
less. and by this irregular feeding the
growth of the calf suffers. 1t is less
trouble TO commence feeding the calf
from the start, giving it whole milk
for the first ten days, then gradually
giving him skim milk, increasing the
quantity daily until all skim milk is
given. A little linseed meal jelly will
be helpful added to the skim milk. Give
all that it will drink, but none should be
left In the vessel.

not good work.

Four quarts of clover seed is deemed
by many farmers about the right
quantity to the acre.
Winter is the best time to poison
prairie dogs. Fall or spring the best
time to poison pocket gophers.
If clover is the only cropSu in
rotation with corn, let it occupy the
land as many years as the corn.
If you have not yet gotten up a
good supply of wood, do not longer
neglect it. Spring is close by and the
work will crowd.
