Subject,

All animals, both great and small,
suffer "a severely as mammals in the
matter OF parasites, according TO Les
lies Monthly. The parasite OF the os-
trich is a formidable looking example.
The most interesting of the pigeons
parasites Is the one known ms the slen-
der pigeon louise. which Is supposed to
do good service to the bird by thinning
It's body pluinage as the weather grows
hot. Fish also have parasites. The
legs % one variety which inhabits the
carp ard pike are attached to the pos
terror part Of Its anatomy. and consti-
tutcs paddles by means OF which the or
ganlsm can change Its host and depart
to pay It's attentions to another fish.
Two dark spots I'm the forepart Of
the creature represent the FIRST pair OF
legs. which have been converted into
suckers. by means OF which the organ
Ism retains hold Of It's host. There Is
good reason TO believe that this pike
louise" Is not n parasitic torment. but
rather a desired attendant. In all prob
ability It derives It's nOurishmcnt from
the mucous products sccrctcd by the
skin OF tho fish. And when IL has sat

FORCED TO RETURN UNION
FUNDS.

The Supreme Court, at Buffalo. N
Y, recently decided a case which is Of
interest to organized labor in general.
Some mem bers Of q bakery wagon
drivers union appropriated the organi-
nations money, divided it among them
selves and proceeded to break up the
local union. Suit was instituted by the
Bakers International Union to recov-
er the property of the union. The
court decided that the members who
had seen fit to appropriate the unions
funds must return the money, and
ruled that the bylaws and constitu-
ton of union are a binding contract,
the terms of which must be met by
all members of the organization. It
also held that seven members in good
standing constituted a local union I'M
der the laws of the bakers, and that
those who leave the union cannot
claim any of its property.

AMERICAN METHODS CAUSE GEN
ERAL STRIKE.

It may not be generally known that
the recent general strike movement
in the city of Geneva, Switzerland, was
caused by the inauguration of the
''Amercin system" and the application
OF American methods in the manage
1nent Of street railway affairs. A few
months ago the control of the street
car system was transferred to al new
company composed of English and A.
1nerican capitalists. Under the direc-
tion of an American superintendent
some innovations of American origin
were introduced that caused great dis
satisfaction among the street-car men
and their sympathizers. While the old
company had made provision for an
increase in the pay of employees re-
manning in it's service certain huber
Of years, the American superintendent
discharged the old employees in short
order Another innovation was the in
auguraton of the detective system and
the employment of large number OF
overseers and "spotters". most Of them
females. This aroused the indignation
of the employees and the working po-
pulation to such a degree that it final
ly eliminated in a general strike of
nearly all the organized trades. The
