Toledo, Ohio, Dec. 16.--In his veto of the
action of the council requiring the union

1t is impossible for me to understand
upon what theory a legislative body like

benefit of a law. Any legislation designed
to limit it's benefits to one class and deny
ing the benefits to another class is class
legislation.

WORKERS IN PEWTER.
An Interesting Trade Followed I'm an
Obscure New York Quarter.
New York Commercial.

New York Commercial.
Workers in pewter ply an interesting
trade on the far East Side. These men
make a variety OF articles, useful and or
namental, from several alloys of lead and
tin. Their tools are few and simple-a
strong lathe for working the metal in
sheets, cutting implements Of smaller size
for trimming and shaping articles, molds
Tor casting in a great variety of forms, and
the familiar bucket furnace for melting
the pewter. The shops are small, and
many of the workmen are self-employing
In some shops the proprietor works with
his men and boy is kept at small wages
learning the trade. Most of the workmen
are foreigners, many of them German
one OF the finest and most interesting
of these shops told about by the New York
Times has been conducted for nearly
quarter of a century by the widow Of
German worker in pewter. She employs
workmen to execute her contracts, and
furnishes few articles in pewter to the
large shops, besides doing a retail trade
In this little shop are made hundreds of
tops for beer mugs. These mugs are i'm

the ring of metal, but puts in place and

designs. The molds look like great mush-
rooms with particularly long stems. II
costs from 40 cents to rs cents to have a
lid put on beer mug. Some of specially
large size and intricate design cost a good
deal more.
Another part Of the business of this little
shop Is the making Of warming pans. doubt

however, of never wearing out and never

The pewter workers trade is a neat and
interesting one, and fairly profitable, since
1t requires considerable skill and taste
The metal is easily worked on the lathe

crockery and department stores, but these
still employ a number of persons.

The remarkable ease with which certain
animals and some savage races of men
can find their own way through track
less country, and often through territory
which they never traversed before, has
occupied naturalists and psychologists for
ages and no thoroughly adequate explana-
ton of the power has been made.
Bates. the explorer, tells of one of his
Journeys in South America when he and
two companions, one a Portuguese trav-
eler and the other a ten-year- Indian
boy, had penetrated a primeval forest for
two days, during which time the boy did
not appear TO pay the least attention to
the route.
At the end OF the second day both Bates
and his Portuguese companion were be-
wildered completely. and had TO confess
pecting any real help, they asked the
little Indian if he could find the way out.
Without the least hesitation, he pointed
in a certain direction. and said that they
would find their camp straight ahead.
They doubted 1t. as the boy pointed in
a direction directly opposite TO that I'm

camp turned out to be just where the boy

When 1t became blind he sold IL to a
farmer about fifty miles distant. One
day, some time after IL had been sold,
its owner drove along a road that passed

reached a little side path that led from
the road TO its old home 1t turned into ii
