Wage reductions are being made
among the railroad employees Of the
Southern Pacific. A few days ago
some Of the yard men at Ogden were
cut down, and the talk now Is thai the
cutting will not stop until all depart
ments have been affected. In case it
reaches the trainmen. engineers or
shop men, 1t Is said that 1t will mean a
strike, and such a strike as would tie
up the Hartman lines from Chicago
to San Francisco.

Wooden shoe. In China.

The manufacture Of wooden shoes is
naturally considerable branch of in
dustry in China. The finer and more
costly kind occupy the attention of i'm
portant shopkeepers in the principal
streets. and the decoration of them is
intrusted to artists in this particular
kind of work. But an enormous num-
Der of wooden shoes of the cheapest
kind are wanted by the poorer classes.
and the manufacture of these is the
work Of practitioners of more moder-
ate skill. They are usually itiperant.
When they find suitable wood they be-
gin their labor by splitting it up into
lengths about one foot long and six
inches wide. These they cut with
sharp knives into rough soles: thea
they proceed on their way until t;,p:t

A Valuable Penny Book.

A blacksmith in Camdentown. Eng

q secondhand bookstall priced at a
penny, bought it. He took it home.
and after attempting to read it threw
1t up on shelf in disgust One of his
dodgers saw the book and, noticing the
date, 1850, asked permission to show
1t to the British museum authorities.
The blacksmith was asked to call at
the museum, and the secretary. to his
surprise, asked him what he would
take for the book.
The man was too confused to answer
and still more 80 when the secretary
asked him II he would consider an Of
fer Of ECO. AS he remained dumb, the
secretary Immediately raised the price
to ECO, which was at once accepted.
though in great bewilderment The
book was the first ever printed by Gu
tenberg and was priceless to the mu.
scum. Twice had it been lost and once
stolen from its owner. after which it's
history was unknown till it was found
on the bookstall by the blacksmith.

ESpeared through the breathing holes in
the Ice, which they are compelled to
frequent to obtain air to fill their
lungs. Formerly. as well as at pres
lent when wood was hardly procur-
able, the long narwhal tusks were
used for tent poles.
In EARLIER times, when the origin Of
the narwhal horns was not widely
| known, great magical powers were at
/ tributed to them. These tusks brought
. high price. The monks in European
monasteries and physicians employed
them, and they were thought to be
able to effect speedy cures of nearly all
maladies. The kings Of Denmark are
reported to possess magnificent carv-
ed throne, which is whittier than ivory,
wrought from these husks into q royal
treasure and heirloom. According to
the oral traditions handed down from
generation to generation in remote
ages. the narwhal is said to have been
mighty denizen Of the polar world
sixty feet in length. supplied with
large head, having an outreaching
tusk of vast length. Schools of hun
dreds or more are said to have been
abundant and, armed with their sharp
tusks, waged deadly warfare upon the
other inhabitants of the ocean, who
fell easy victims to their terrible
thrusts. The superstitious Eskimos
have Incorporated a deep rooted bit of
mythology into their beliefs in regard
to this creature. In the times of fam
Inc and great scarcity of the narwhals
1t is thought that the shamen who
practice the working of charms and
sorcery can procure food by causing
the narwhals to appear from the bot
tom Of the sea. The narwhals are said
to be controlled by an old woman god
dess. who resides far in the depths.
The shaman by the aid of his supposed
supernatural power can descend below
to the abode Of this deity and by comb
ing and braiding her tangled hair can
cause her to release the narwhals,
when they rise to the surface in great
numbers.-New York Tribune.

times it was incased in the mummy

from necklace and sometimes it was
put in place of the heart, which the
embalmer would remove.
Scarabs were made out of variety
of materials. The cheaper forms were
nodded out of clay and then glazed.
Others were cut from limestone and
stained. The substance and finish are
often an indication of the age to which
a specimen belongs. Such costly stones
as the garnet, carnelian. jasper and
amethyst were sometimes used, and
at later period gold. The vast ma
