A GOOD POLICY,

The Dry Goods Economist says of one
store with which it is familiar: Eve
ry employee in it seems to be good ma
tured. Why should there be any differ
ence in this respect between this estab-
lishment and the average store? Is not
human nature about the same the
world over? True, but there is differ
ence. The proprietor Of this store is
not only a merchant, but gentleman
He treats his employees with marked
courtesy and consideration. AS con-
sequence they feel SO kindly disposed
toward him and his business that their
good will is reflected in their treatment
Of his customers" Some storekeepers
never find out why it is that so few of
their casual customers become regulars.

him. He went to nature for his model.
After long search he decided that the
oak offered the best design for with-
standing wind and wave. The oak
spreads out sweepingly at the base,
then the trunk tapers gradually to the
point where the most important boughs
appear, widening somewhat to receive
them. The present Eddystone light
house is built after this model.
II young naturalists should ever try
to wet a butterfiy's wing, they would
find that the water would roll off like
the rain from tiled roofs, even though
the rest of the insect were drenched.

STRIKING MINERS IN CLOVER.
Attempt to Unionize the Sic, 100000
TyorI~, ~ - Hrsr,n,s rsnx,,x,,,

Attempt 10 OnlOIl1Ze the SI0,VuUsUVV
Works of a Mining Company.
A strike which has no parallel in the
long history Of labor troubles resulted
on November 10 last in the complete
shutdown Of the immense plants Of the
Mountain Copper Company, Limited, at
Keswick and Iron Mountain, across the
state line, in Shasta county, Cal, and
for over month not a wheel has
turned in the big corporations fifteen
million dollar establishment. The elev-
EN- hundred employees quit to a man.
The renoteness Of the camp has thus
far served to prevent the newspapers
from getting anything save the most
meagre reports.
The strikers have taken absolute pos
session of the town of Keswick, have
rented the hotels and lodging houses,
completely furnished, and comfortable
quarters have been supplied without
cost to all the men. This was done on
December S. when the company an
nounced that it would not accede to the
demands Of the men, but would close
it's works down for ten years, if neces-
sary.
= "And we mean what we say" said
the company.
"All right" responded the strikers,
''we will wait ten years for you..''
And so 1t started. The hotels and
lodging houses were rented, together
with innumerable cabins scattered on
the Shasta hillsides about the smelter,
and to-day the long siege is on In ear
nest 1t is in the immediate charge Of
Keswick Srneltermen's Union, No. 14S,
the local labor organization, but back
Of it is the powerful Western Fedora
ton Of Miners, with which No. 1888 is
affiliated. The federation has Endorsed
the strike, and has promised to spend
all Of the $S,S00,000 In its treasury, IL ne
cessary, to support the men. The re-
suit is that the strikers, In addition to
quarters, have these things supplied
them:

day at a great restaurant just
equipped.
If married they draw regular rations

sort of military basis.
They get free fuel.
There are two barber shops open day
and night for their accommodation.
Twice a day sick, CALI is sounded
and contract physicians attend to the
ailing. Medicine is free.
Stamps and stationery are supplied
to those who wish to do any cores
pondence.
There is free theater.
The reading and club rooms are fur
nished with up-to-date literature.
Cobblers and tailors-those from their
own ranks--tio all needed repair work.
A two-story bath-house is always
open to them.
Tobacco rations are issued daily.
And the only duty required of them
is service as sentries on eight-hour
shifts every day-a duty, however, that
is sternly insisted on. In addition eve
ry man has been solemnly sworn not to
leave Keswick, the oath following his
pledge not to permit any stranger to
pass the picket line into camp while he
is on guard.-Portland Oregonian.

NATURE THE ARCHITECT.

Man is a very clever architect. and
not the least of his cleverness was
shown when the earliest man took
many Of his patterns from the homes
of the birds and beasts, even from the
insects living about him. When you
look at the beautiful rose windows in
Westminster church do you realize that
they are but an imitation, and not such
an overly good one at that, of the graf
ing which the Caddis or grub of the
stone-fly builds at the end of the long
tube which is it's habitation instead of
a cocoon? Each species of caddis has
