Consistency is a jewel, and the Bos- ton Building Trades Council has the jewel. It believes in living Union life, dying a Union death and being buried in Union coffin. At it's meet ing Monday it adopted the following: Whereas, in the past all collins used by the friends and relatives of union men in this vicinity have been made under non-union conditions; be it Re- solved, That we request this condition to be changed, and that we further re- quest the above firm to organize it's factory under the jurisdiction of Wood workers Union No. 24. Resolved, If said firm refuses to do so we pledge ourselves in the future not to allow any of our members to be buried in any but a Union coffin bearing the la bel of the Woodworkers' International Union.
 Thoroughly consistent so far. Per haps the Union men who passed these resolutions will soon demand that they be summoned at the resurrection by Q Union angel and will decline to enter Heaven if it is an .'open" place.

is now manager of the long line Of farmers elevators. At a meeting few days ago it was reported that seventy five elevators scattered through Okla homa, Kansas, and Nebraska are list ed in the association. It was reported that the stock holders had received a dividend of per cent. after paying ex- penses and selling grain at larger profit to the farmers than could be se- cured from the ordinary elevators.
 The leaders in this movement have the idea that they can ultimately rule the wheat business. Perhaps their dream will be realized, but, judging from past experiences, they are more likely to get to fighting among them selves and bust up" the cooperation.

The Seekers.

Friends and loves. we have none, nor
 wealth, nor blessed abode, But the hope, the burning hope, and the
 road, the lonely road. Not for us are content, and quiet, and For we go seeking cities that we shall
 never find.
 There is no solace on earth for us-for
 such as We Who search for the hidden beauty that
 eyes may never see. Only the road and the dawn, the sun,
 the wind, the rain, And the watch-fire under stars, and
 sleep, and the road again. We seek the City of God, and the haunt
 where beauty dwells, -..s And we find the noisy mart and the
 sound of burial bells. Never the golden city, where radiant s, people meet, But the dolorous town where mourners
 are going about the street. We travel the dusty road till the light
 of the day is dim - And sunset shows up spires away on the
 worlds rim. We travel from dawn to dusk, till the . day is past and by, Seeking the Holy City beyond the. rim of the sky. #. Friends and loves we have none, nor wealth, nor blest abode, But the hope, the burning hope, and the
 road, the lonely road

SIGHT AND HEARING OF REP.
 TILES. ... f.-

SIGHT AND HEARING OF REP TILES. ... @ It is a little known faet-it has, in- deed, but recently been discovered by naturalists-that majority of the ven omous reptiles with which the world is infested are wholly or partially deaf, while their sight is often defective. To this is probably due the immunity of
 man from the attack of these creatures, for men hear and see the serpents be- fore they are heard or seen and are en- abled either to escape from their prox- unity or to make adequate preparations for defense. ..--.. i A German naturalist, Mir. Werner of Vienna, has recently reported the re- suit of observations that he has been making for some time on the senses of inferior vertebrates. On certain points the conclusions of Werner are surrris- ing, and in all they are worthy of no- tice. Werner has observed one hun dred and thirty-six individuals, of which one-third were at liberty, and he i took all precautions possible not to let the creatures know they were watched. One general fact is evident, that rep tiles and amphibians are strongly at traeted by water. They go straight for it, even when they are at a distance so great that they could not divine it's presence by any of the senses known to us. It seems really that a sense of which we have no knowledge informs them of the direction in which water may be found. There seems to be a sort of chemical attraction, says wer- rer. But how eoes this act and on what part of the reture? This remins a mystery.
 Reptiles also seek the light, but inde- pendent of heat; they are positively he i liotropic and in winter they often leave a comfortable and warm retreat to seek the sunlight. Sight is generally good
 with them It is probably the finest sense they possess, but 1t would still
 appear to be limited. The caymans and crocodiles connot distinguish a man at a distance of more than six
 times their length, according to Wer-
 ner. Tn the water fishes see only at fvery close range about half their owr length. This will seem, perhaps, un- likely to anglers, although some of them can cite instances showing that fish cannot see far. Snakes seem tc have a mediocre sense of sight. The iboa, for instance. does not see at more than quarter or a third of It's own length; different species are limited to one-fifth or orie-enghth of their length, Chicago Chronicle.

COOPER tTIVE FARMERS.

Cooperative experimentsinthis coun- try haven't worked long or well, but the cooperative action of certain grain- raisers in the West has not yet worn itself out. The plan contemplates a. purely btisiness-like management. The stockholders are farmers and the ele- vators are run on a basis of actual cost, the profits being returned to the farm CTS in dividends. The key item in the management is the requirement that every producer shall sell to the elevat- or, or if he sells elsewhere shall pay one cent 8 bushel of the amount re- ceived to the company. This makes it impossible ~ for the rivals to run them out of business by bidding higher for grain-the revenue from the cent a bushel is sufficient to keep the co-oper- atiVe elevator running. The towns where these elevators have been estab- lished for four years are yet favora- bly, impressed with them, and the man. agement has continued to return prof it's. The numbers are being extended, and there are now enough to compel the railroads to give equal privileges with the old line institutions.

THE CHARS PEACEFUL TASTES.
 The Russian court may be said to be the least warlike of any court in Eu- rope. The czar abhors war The czar- ina loathes war. The dowager empress hates the very word, war, The czar has recently celebrated his thirty-sey- enth birthday, and, as 8 diplomat in London said, the celebration was a "lu- gubrious affair."" For a monarch who abhors war and yet finds his country actually at war, what must be his con- dition of mind? We'll, since his minis- ters regulate affairs in his name. and as he Is very human man after all, he must amuse himself with human ac- complishments. He has long been known as a composer of music, but there is an irony of fate in the fact that his latest creation is entitled, Song of Peace" Another composition of the csar's Is a Spring Song" which also breathes the spirit of peace.

Nnr np TO THE MARX.

Much is said about the wonderful progress of the Japanese, but they are not yet up to the mark of the most favored nation, meaning of course, the United states of America. This is shown in the attitude the married woman is compelled to take in Japan. In speak ing to his wife the Japanese husband uses her first name with more or less of a. command in connection with what he has to say, while in his wife's conn munications to him Sir" or My hus- band is required with the tone and manner she would use to her elders. The wife is always dressed before her husband in the morning. Then, immaeu- late in attire and smiling countenanee, she must, if there are not the necessary servants, perform the part of valet. First, she brings tray with pipe, to- bacco and matches; then later, still smiling, a cup of tea and the morning paper to solace her lord until it is time for him to dress for breakfast. At his toilet she also assists, and when break fast is over she speeds him with more smiles on his way to office or shop, her good-bys said with low courtesy and pleasant words. .-

Those who have had tips on stocks
 and been tipped by them will be inter-
 ested in the suit which has been
 brought in the United States Circuit court by Rhoads stansbury Sutton of Alleghany, Pennsylvania; against A. Hartupee Mckee. On April 20, 1902, ac- cording to the plaintiff, Mckee told him that John W. Gates and J. P. Morgan & co. had agreed to buy a controlling interest in Colorado Fuel and Iron at s13O share, Gates to do the buying and deliver the stock to the firm. To get hold of the stock, the complaint says, the plaintiff was told that Gates and others had formed a pool, and that H. Sellers Mckee, the defendants father, was interested in it to the extent Of s50O,0OO. The defendant, according to the complaint, said that he himself had bought 5000 shares at 106 and advised the plaintiff to buy Fuel and Iron wher- ever he could get it and hold it for sale at 12O. The statements of the defend ants, the plaintiff alleges, were false, fraudulent and deceitful," the stock failed to go up, he was continually pressed for margins and was finally sold out with a loss of $1O0,0oO, for which he prays Judgment.
 If MT. Sutton wins this suit the meth cd of doing much of the business of Wall street will have to be changed. There are those who take tips seriously, as MT. Sutton seems to have done. What a lot of money will have to be given back if swindling by means of tips on the stock market is not legiti- mate.
