of a struggle that has extended over
several years. BY virtue of the new
scale the union carpenters. numbering

wages amounting to 100000 a year in
the aggregate.

that the employees have gained by
peaceful means what they failed to
accomplish by the great and disastrous
strike of ten years ago. Under the
new schedule ten hours wages is to

man employed in the works. Nearly

AMENDS ITS CHARTER.
Shipping Trust Meets Objections OF
British Government.

Trenton, n j.. April 2-The Inter-
national Mercantile Marine company,
the great transatlantic ship combine
ton, has filed papers amending its
original charter. The amendment
consists of a provision authorizing the
company to enter into a contract with
the United States government or
states or dependencies thereof, or
with any foreign government or state,
including the power to sell or hire any
of its steamships or sailing vessels or
other property TO such governments or
states for any purpose whatsoever,
whether naval, military or otherwise.
1t is believed here that this amend
ment has been inserted te meet the
objection of the English government
that under the original charter that
government would not have the power
to impress any of the vessels of the
company into its naval service in
time of war

Lifting the Hand Too Late.

A young lady had twenty-dollar
collection of plumes on her hat. 1t
had taken her years to make this col
lection. One evening while crossing
a bridge the wind lifted the hat from
her head and carried 1t beyond her
reach. She lifted her hand. but too
late. The hat floated down stream
and II had chance to reach the Mis-
sissippi river and the ocean. Ever
since this hat experience she has been
more cautious and active. but her pre-
vious education might have included
sufficient instruction and caution to
have helped her save the hat. Some
day the day school course of study will
contain exercises in the interest of
preventing things getting lost. We
can learn by intelligence just as well
as by expensive experience.

Ancient New Years GIFTS,

Queen Elizabeth made most lavish
use of the custom of distributing gifts
at New Years. She herself received
most gorgeous presents, anu history
enumerates some of the things as cas-
kets studded with precious stones.
"armlets set with rubies," necklaces,
mantels, silken hose. smocks, petit
coats, looking glasses, fans and
brooches. These things do not sound
so wildly wonderful to us now, but at
that time no doubt many of the things
were rare novelties. Silk stockings
and looking glasses are mentioned as
being wonders of that age. No doubt
some of the other things were more
or less so.
During the reign of the Bourbon
Kings in France that country cele.
brated New fear's most pictur-
esquely.
Carriages loaded with bonbons
were driven through the streets of
Paris and the poor were feted on
sweets that day as they never were
on any other throughout the year.
Preparations for this celebration
were going on in the confectioners'
quarter for days before New Year,
and it is said that the hustle and ac-
tivity was so great at the time that
no one could get in on any other busi-
ness than that concerning the great
holiday.
Literally showers of confetti bonbon
boxes of every conceivable kind and
device fell upon the poo. of Paris
upon that day. on which the king
grew lavish.

Rubber JUDGMENT.

The shoe clerk thought that the
pair OF rubbers which he handed the
customer would be about right for
the boy at home, as the customer
said that the boys shoe was nine by
three inches. but the customer asked
tor heavier and larger ones.
The clerk found a pair to suit the
customer. and the customer carried
them home, only to get the laugh on
himself. as they were nearly an inch
too long and a quarter of an inch too
wide-they were sizes too big and
very big for their size and kind of
rubbers, anyway.
But the customer kept cool ana
made comparative study of rubbers
and OF shoes and OF boys feet, then
he tod up the rubbers and saw tho
store again with much less
positive spirit and more respectful
bearing toward rubber department
clerks In general and in particular.
This time the clerk was asked ques-
tions and consulted on quality, price
and sizes. A better pair, with less
weight and more fit at the same price
was secured and pocketed. Both Gus.
toner and clerk were polite and IL the
rubbers are not satisfactory in every
way there will be another chapter to
this record.

The Hurricane Anaers.

The old man had n place on the
curbstone near busy corner in a
city. where he made canes and sold
them on request.
He did not offer them for sale. his
working at 1t was his advertising
plan. and he did not like to have
crowds of moneyless curious collect
around him, as that obstructed the
sidewalk and probably endangered
his privileges.
AT times the crowds would form
and remain until he would have an
angry fit like hurricane. This made
the trouble worse and increased the
size of the crowd, but when angers
begin they do not very often stop to
inquire where they are going to end.
II they did they might end at the be-
ginning On these subjects young
people are able to start with the wis
dom which elderly people stop with.

Discovering a Market.

How to find the person who wants
TO buy what you have to sell is an in
teresting subject and one over which
many are thinking. But If you happen
to have a rare kind of an article or
the only thing of its kind and it is
but one. 30 that only one person In
the world is your market and a one
time sale ends the transaction the
hunt becomes much like that for a
needle in haystack. Should You ever
be trying to do anything as difficult as
this remember that while on the way
to see man VINO does not want what
you have you may meet person who
knows of some one who does want 1t.
Keep moving and think also.

When Pins Were Valued.

In the middle ages it became the
custom to give pins as New Years
gifts.
Pins were invented about the first
of the year 1900 and became popular
very rapidly, as well they would. Now
adays one could not imagine how to
get along without pins. Before their
advent wooden pins, which were
really skewers, were used. When the
shck little pin was invented it made
the greatest furore. So mucn so that
1t was Immediately adopted for the
general New Years gift.
AS the time went on. however this
fell little OFF. and sums of money as
gifts became the custom. These gifts
were for a long time called min
money" This was the beginning of
the phrase still common In our time.
