RUSSIAN STRIKERS

London, Aug. 6.-The Daily Mails
Nikolief correspondent, under date of
Aug. 2, fully confirms the Times cor
respondents accounts of strikes in
South Russia. The correspondent says
that a quarter of million men are
effected and that simultaneously
strikes occurred over vast indus
trial area.
He says that the amount of studied
organization and we'll concealed prep
arations was unprecedented in the trou-
bled annals of Russian labor. Prices
for the necessaries of life ara rising
by leaps and bounds. The strikers. on
the whole. have preserved exemplary
order, but this, however, has not saved
them from savage attacks, directed
by Gen. Arsenien, Governor of Odessa.
Groups of men who assembled last
Saturday with the intention of holding
a meeting, were driven into a solid
mass by 500 Cossacks, hacked by two
lines of infantry with fixed bayonets.
About 1900 strikers being thus enclosed
by n double GORDON, the Cossacks rode
through them, striking right and left
with heavy whips, the fallen men be-
ing trampled under the horses feet.
when the living mass had been
thoroughly kneaded to the governors

numerous men were arrested as sus-
pected agitators. The infantry then
marched off, and the strikers scatter
ed in a dozen directions, with Co.'S
sacks at their heels.
TT is reported that 400 strikers were
ell s,s,
that from six to q dozen succumbed.
The whole affair is a typical piece of
administrative savagery.
THE extraordinary feature of the
movement at Odessa is that the police.

are allowed daily, was increased, and

Little from Defenders.
Portland, Me-, Aug. 6.-With thick
and stormy weather along the entire
coast, it would seem as if the attack
ing fleet under Rear Admiral Sands
had the best possible conditions to-day
in which to win the war game by evad-
ing the defending squadron under Rear
Admiral Barker, and establishing itself
in some one of the numerous little har-
bors of the Eastern Maine coast.
But at late hour tonight, nothing
had been heard from the enemy
while the reports from the defending
squadron during the day were some
what meager. Several of the swift
torpedo boat destroyers ran into Penob-
scot during the day. and a naval tug
came into Bar HarbOr for the mail.
The main portion of Admiral Bar
ker's fleet, however kept well off shore,
and it is believed continued the work
of patrolling the coast between East
port and Cape Anne.

The 0Bossy" Husbnn II da. .

The husband still ranks rs the head
Of the family, and though cases are
common where he is not really in COM
mand the happiest families are those
in which he is equal to his Job. 1t Is
not any word Of Scripture or law or a
promise in the marriage service that
makes the husband the senior and rul-
ing partner, but nature and the force
Of circumstances. Moreover, the fear
which some young women have of hav-
ing to obey a husband is just buga-
boo. AS things turn out there is di.
vision of responsibility and therefore
Of authority. The wife has her realm
and rules in it. The husband takes her
orders in matters under her control
and she his in some other matters.
and over other matters still they con.
suit and agree upon course. OF
course bossy husband is objection
able, but bossy husband is apt to be
a good deal Of an ass, and no young
woman ought to marry man who Is
q good deal Of an ass unless the ex-
igency is pressing and she can positive
ly do no better.-Harpers.

A Good Household Cement.

An excellent cement for mending al
most anything may be made by mixing
together litharge and glycerin to the
consistency Of thick cream or fresh
putty. The. cement is useful in mend
ing stone Jars or any coarse earthen-
ware, stopping leaks in seams Of tin
pans or wash boilers, cracks and holes
in iron kettles, etc. 1t may also be
used to fasten on lamp tops or tighten
loose nuts, to secure loose bolts whose
nuts are lost, to tighten loose Joints OF
wood or iron or in many other ways
about the various kitchen utensils, the
range, sink and in pantry fittings. In
all cases the article mended should not
be used till the cement has hardened,
which will require from one day to a
week, according to the quantity of ce-
ment used. The cement will resist the
action Of water, hot or cold, acids and
almost any degree Of heat.
