been seeking an opportunity 70 deal the
body blow. The chance never came
and few weeks ago. In order to force
matters an order was issued stated that
the men must either withdraw from the
union or forfeit their right to employment
in the shops. This the men refused to do
and about two weeks ago one morning
when the ment went to work they found
themselves facing "A condition that war

they proceeded to do so.
Mrff Bryant was called upon to 60 TO
their aid and see II he could arrange for
a settlement. In the main his mission

witchcraft In Italy.

A shocking case of superstition at
Verona is reported. A girl in the
service of Prof Negri attracted the at
fections of peasant in the neighbo-
hood, and encouraged him while, but
afterwards declined his attentions. The
youth exhibited symptoms of madness,
and was transferred to lunatic asy-
lum. His family, convinced that the
maiden had bewitched their boy, held
a solemn conclave. They then re-
quested the girl to call at the family
dwelling on an affair of urgency. The
girl complied, taking the precautfoh CT
asking q female friend to accompany
her. After a most amiable reception
the aged mother of the bad boy got
the girls companion away on {. clever
pretext, and invited the Supposed
young witch to the upper floor. where

the unhappy gil to break the spell

"REMINISCENCES OF WAR.
Lasting Impression Made Upon
Soldiers Memory by Poor
Child's Cheap Toy.

A German officer. is quoted in the
London Outlook as telling this story
of Renaissance connected with the
triumphal entry of the German army
into Paris. It was magnificent spec
tacle. -Four uhlans were riding ahead
and the band was playing Schubert's
wonderful march. Yet in memory the
German officer confessed that through
the blare of trumpets and beating Of
drums he heard one lesser sound which
made his heart sicken over the dreary
pathos of war;
It recalled to him one night after q
German victory, when four French
prisoners, all noblelnen, were on their
way to Paris under escort. They
stopped at deserted wine-shop near
deserted hamlet. and grew quite
cheerful over the prospect of supper.
A prince was greasing the pan, and
the uhlans were standing by, laugh
ing, although they would have Drained
him had he made three steps toward
the door. - - 5@ti=ft5
Suddenly there was sound from
without, as If soma one, walking leis-
urely, was kicking q tin can along
before him. raa: ~ {l.
The officer picked up torch and
took it to the door. It showed a broad
strip of road spread with puddles and
dashed by rain. Outside that circle
was the darkness Of the pit filled with
the Kissing of the storm. The sound
of the can drew nearer. Then out of
the dark and across the torchlit strip
of road passed a group of specters, as
a company passes in review. ga
First came two women, one young,
the other very old. Each carried q
bundle on her back. They were of the
poorest order of tenantry, and their
faces were blank with deep despair.
After them came man in wooden
shoes leading goat. Behind him was
a very old man, leading a child. The
child was crying and dragging along
tin can tied to string.
And SO ever after, when the onloolz-
ing officer thought of wars magnif-
cent parades, he heard the sound Of
the wretched child's pathetic toy.

WOMEN HAVE BETTER CHANCE.
Indicative Of Greater Longevity
A Than Mems.

Every woman, SO the story goes. car
ries with her signs which to the expert.
enced tell whether she will live long
Here are some OF the supposed signs q
longevity:
The eyes must be round and wide
rather than long and narrow. and q
they are brown or hazel life will b
longer than If they were black or violet
The neck must be full and pillar like
rather than slender.
The brow must be ample and slope
back slightly from an absolute perpen-
dicular. The head must be wide behind
and over the ears.
The mouth must be full and we'll set,
and the chin square and firm.
The nose must be wide and full through
It's whole length, and have open. easily
dilating nostrils. This indicates good
heart and good lungs.
II the orifice Of the ear is low. denotfng
. deeply seated brain. there is better
chance Of long life.
The woman who appears taller IN pro-
portion when sitting down than when
standing has good chance to live long.
II the body is long in proportion to the
limbs, the heart, lungs and digestive Or
gans are large. 'ss
The pulse should beat with full and
normal stroke. Limbs and joints should
be large and well formed, the flesh mel
Their too hard nor too soft.
Those who resemble their mothers
may expect to live longest, and the first
born is longer lived than other children.
For example, sister born ten years be-
fore another sister is supposed to have
SIX years greater duration of life.
It Is well known that women live
longer than men, but so far there is nc
satisfactory explanation of why this is
so. Out Of a million people, 225 women
and only 50 men reach the age Of 100
years. Maybe 1t is because woman
gets more sleep than a man, for the
longer person sleeps the longer will life
last. Nearly all long-lived people have
been great sleepers When M. de Les
seps was on the ocean he would sleep 20
hours at stretch. Gladstone averaged
II hours sleep day. A man or woman
who would learn to sleep IL hours day
might live 200 years.
One of the secrets of longevity, there
fore, is to take plenty of sleep. Other
rules which the seeker after length Of
days should observe are these.
Sleep on the right SIDE
Keep the bedroom window open al
night.
Don't take cold tub In the morning,
but bath the temperature of the body.
Don't allow any pots in the living
room. They may carry disease germs.
Take daily exercise in the open air,
and live in the country; If not all the
year, at least five or six months.
Occasionally change your occupation.
Take frequent and short holidays.
Watch the three Distributing water:
dampness and drains.
Limit your ambitions: /
Keep your temper
Worry less. work more; ride less, walk
more; drink less. breathe more: eat less,
chew more; preach less, practice more.

ART IN FOOD ADULTERAT1ON.
The Spirit of Decoration Eaters Into
the Preparation of Canned
and Other Articles.

There is great indignation because
some Gamers of vegetables paint green
tomatoes an alluring red in order to pass
them of as ripe, and use other paints and
coring matter to change the appearance
of worthless vegetables. DR.. Warren
| of the dairy and food commission, Is
right in regarding this deception as rep
rehensible. It is the more Objectionable
because it may create prejudice against
some forms of domestic art. This age
is distinguished from former eras chief
ly by the widespread ambition to beau
tify the home. There are schools of art
at which our women are taught to paint
delicate flowers (of original design on
coal shovels and scuttles for parlOr or
nament; the three-legged stool of the
milkmaid is upholstered In plush and
adorned with Kensington flowers and
goldenrod; in short, there is hardly an
object Of household utility which is not
transformed into a work of modern art,
says the Philadelphia Record.
The spirit of decoration has gone
further. The cooking schools have
discovered that the more beautiful are
the viands at table, the more palatable
they are. Hence their efforts are directed
chiefly to the artistic serving Of food.
Thus, pigs feet are smothered in flowers
made Of sliced eggs; things are served In
scalloped paper cups, shrfmps protrude
from whipped cream as from sea foam,
and the like. No woman can be an EN-
cient cook who has not first taken q
course in an art institution. One OF the
obstacles In the way of the highest sue
cess is in achieving the exact shades Of
color required for baked articles. Even
bread and rolls must be shaded from .
deep brown to pale tint, while it is I'M
possible to select radishes, tomatoes. Der
ries, and other vegetable appetizers Of
sufficient, brilliancy Of color. Here is
where the expert with the brush may
come in. Water colors are not pre-
cisely pleasing to the palate, and may
cause some rneasiness to a sensitive
stomach. but anybody with soul for
art Is willing to sacrifice something for
beauty Din .fsi}s.tsIsls
The painting of food articles Is the
more necessary at this moment because
Of the passion for pink luncheons, yell
low teas and other colored layouts. The
cooking schools, in their efforts to pro-
vide foods Of the proper color. have been
obliged to place on the table things
which are not commonly regarded as
palatable or nutritious and to leave out
others popularity considered to be es-
sential. It is obvious that the resources
Of the hostess would be greatly increased
by the use Of the paint brush. AS far. as
the Gamers are striving to promote cul-
mary art by painting their vegetables
they are not to be censured. What is OBJ
jected to is their purpose to sell unripe
and worthless foods by covering their
defects with paint.
