Costly Strike.

The strike at the Woodbury. shed, at
Bethel, by advice of the general secre-
tary of the National Granite Cutters
union at Washington, D. c., was de-
cared off. Many of the cutters had left
town. Superintendent Clifford, of the
shop, estimates that the strike has cost
his company directly and indirectly,
s. 900. 1t seems to have been foolish
part of business on the part of a few
hotheads running the Bethel branch of
the union. A clause in the agreement
with the Woodbury. Granite Co. pro-
vided that there would be no strikes OF
lockouts pending any trouble until they
were referred to arbitration. This the
strikers did not attempt to do, but
walked right out of the shop.

In his book, animals That Have
Owned Us" Walter Henries Pollock
tells funny story Of his dog. Douglas,
and a hen, Betsy. "One time when we
came home after a fortnight's outing"
he says, "everything was as usual,
with one exception. Betsy was rs bare
of feathers as was the parrot in the
monkey story. There is perhaps one
fowl to which she might have been
not quite improperly compared, and
that one the apteryx. The servants,
being questioned, reported that Betsy
and Douglas, the dog, had had great
games Further questioning brought
out the fact that Douglas game was
to chase Betsy and pull out her feath-
ers and that Betsy, far from resenting
1t, fell completely into the spirit of the
game This last statement came from
the Devonshre cook, who. by the way,
always called Betsy he and was once
heard reproachfully saying to her, 'Ye
naughty by, why don't ee lay| Moth
ing more naked, despite her enjoyment,
than Betsy could be imagined. My
wife scorning the intervention of an
expert, applied vaseline freely, and in
three weeks Betsy was in full and
beautiful plumage."

thought save hunger, plucked the wheat
from the stock, and, using his teeth for mill.
stones, ground the first grist for q customer
who would not be denied-his stomach"
Thus gaining experience by test in the food
line, it would be only natural for this miller
to lay up quantity Of grain against an hour
of need. Just when he commenced grinding
his wheat in the rude stone mortar and
moistening the flour preparatory to baking
it in the ashes of his camp fire, and just
when it was found that an old piece of dough
in fresh batch made it better or 'leavened"
it, is beyond the reach of historians Ger.
