QUEER S1oe1t5

Three hundred shoemakers who
struck for higher wages in Philadel-
phia In 1856 were the first working
men to adopt such tactics in this coun-
try. The first railroad strike occurred
in 1877.
A Partisan clothes dealer kicked a
dog out Of his shop. The dog shot out
with some rapidity and knocked over
woman with jug Of milk The
woman broke the jug and upset an
elderly gentleman, and the jug cut
both of them. At that moment a cy-
clist arrived and was thrown off his
machine by the PROSTATE figures, and
simultaneously a cart came up and
smashed the bicycle. The magistrate
blandly advised the entire squad to
proceed against the dog, and they are
now looking for it.
A remarkable sea monster was re-
Gently caught in Port Fairy Bay by
some fishermen. 1t measured nine
feet six inches ia length. had a tail
like that Of the screw tail shaft, no
teeth, nose like a rhinoceros, a head
like an elephant, two dorsal fms, four
side fms and two steering fms. The
skin was black and very soft. The
most experienced fishermen say the
specimen is altogether new to them.
They cannot hazard a guess as to the
species. The fish has been sent on to
the Melbourne museum.
In a certain Office at an Australian
railway station there may have been
seen a very long list Of Hames of wom-

the booking clerks to let them have,
without payment, tickets to various
places. They have forgotten their
purses, or lost them, or spent their
last penny on new pair of gloves,
and various reasons. They will call
the very next day and refund the
money without fail. But there the
names and addresses lie. with the

The first iron ship has more reputed
,birthplaces than Homer, according to
Chambers Journal Both the Clyde
and the Mersey claim pre-eminence in
this respect. Sir e. ]. Robson of Ed
inburgh designed an iron vessel in
1916, which was not launched till
three years later, and it is said that
an iron boat was worked on the Sew
ern even as far back as 1887. Steel
was not used In the construction of
merchant ships hulls until 1859. Old
salts were not alone in their belief
that wood was meant by Providence
to float, but iron to go to. the bottom.
A naval constructor of some repute
once said: Don't talk to me of iron
ships. They are contrary to nature. :"
Now none but small craft are built of
wood in this country.

Engineers are, as rule. sternly util-

which they indulge in sentimental
practices. One of these occurred the
other day on the completion of the
first transcontinental railway In Afri-
ca. When the plate-laying gangs from
Buluwayo and Salisbury, respectively,

Lucy Locket, the immortal woman
who lost her pocket, is hardly so much
to be pitied as we are. In her case 1t

pockets for US. Man, happy creature,
Is marsupial. He is blessed with
more pockets than he knows what to
do with, but poor, unfortunate woman,
with styles in their present state, has
not so much as one little pocket in
which to bestow her handkerchief.
A weekly bereavement in this latter
line Is Of common occurrence and in
the course Of time becomes a severe
strain. AS for purses they only too
often so the way Of the handkerchiefs.
The ben-shaped sleeves rendered hope
less the military trick of tucking ones
handkerchief up 1t, but with new cuffs
there comes CLEAN Of returning hope.
The majority of them are tight-fitting
at the wrist, the fullness suddenly
spreading out several inches higher up
the arm. This sleeve is more than
pretty. for it will supply the abiding
place for the long absent pocket. A
little envelope-shaped receptacle could
be easily fastened to the inner side of
the left sleeve, in the fullness, just big
enough to contain two or three small
necessaries. Then flap could be at.
tached to button over. A Russian
blouse or boiero affords opportunity
for a breast pocket like a mans, in
side. For summer frocks a separate
pocket Is pretty, made Of the material
Of the gown or some harmonizing silk.
At all events let us have the pocket
somewhere.-Br Eagle.
