He was the eldest son of Dr. j. C.

hood; he worked on the Courier for
many years; as a boy and man he was
always thoroughly reliable. as stead

we'll with him." as he was here so has
he awakened over there. Grievous as
it is to the wife and children who are
left behind, he leaves them rich heri-
tage in his blameless life.

WORK IS RESUMED
MINE WORKERS UNIONS AT MEN.
DoTA AND KNOXVILLE AGAIN
IN GOOD STANDING.
Were Suspended Because of Their Re.
fusaI to Abide by Agreement of Min
ers and Operators Made in Des
Moines in April.

Official notice was received today by
the local unions of the United Mine
Workers of the reinstatement into
good standing of the unions at Mendo
ia and Unionyille, Mo-, which were
suspended because of their refusal tc
abide by the agreement between the
miners and operators made at Des
Moines. The notice is signed by John

is as follows:

TO the contarct made Mt Des Moines, Iowa
for Putnam count. Missouri.
Are in Good Standing.
You are hereby notified that the above
named local unions have resumed work and
are again placed in good standing with the
organization. the miners having resumed
under the terms of the ncs Moines scale,
which is, S6& cents per ton run of mine.
n
to later on make test at the several
mines, and if the above mentioned price is
not the equivalent of the screen coal price
of S1.00 per ton in sub-district No. l, in
Iowa. then whatever basis is shown by the
test will govern.
We hope that this will serve as a les
son to our local unions, as it has to the
ones in question. to never again rcpudiate
their agreements and ignore their organiza-
ton. For our agreemtns once made and
entered into must be observed. and no
local union can be allowed to take mat
tiers in their own hands. and thus jeopardize
the interests of the organization.
Expensive Policy.
This has been an expensive policy for
our members in these localities. as well
as to the coal companies in question, as
the men had greatly depopulated their once
thriving communities. and the miners were
laid idle from April II, until May 10, when
peace was negotiated. and we can rest as,
sured that the operators will make plenty
of capital out of this unpleasant affair, and
they have ample ground to criticise us for
such action
All local unions will be governed by the
provisions of this circular. which restores
these local unions and their cards again to
their proper standing

NEW PROCESS IN ALLOYS.
Philadelphia Claims to Have Dis
covered Perfect Way of Unit
| ing Copper and Iron

A Philadelphia man claims to have
overcome the Qlmuclties beselting those
who have attempted TO MAKE alloys of
copper and iron, and to have disco, cred
a process of alloy ing these metals per-
tectly homogeneously. The process con-
sists OF meltlng copper with mixture OF
oxide iron and calcium carbide. Any
oxide of iron, either hematite or the
black oxide, can be used. A mixture of
three parts of oxide of iron and one part
calcium carbide is made, and, if it is de-
sired to obtain a so per cent. alloy Of
copper and iron, Is parts of this mixture
should be used to eight parts copper.
The copper is melted in crucible and
the mixture added little at time, the
bath being stirred and the temperature
raised gradually. When the operation
is completed the alloy is found in ingots
of any other desired form. If an alloy
containing as much as IS per cent. of
iron is required the process is reversed,
a bath of iron being substituted for the
bath of copper and mixture of oxide OF
copper and calcium carbide being added.
The inventor claims that, on account of
the fact one of the metals is presented
to the other in a nascent condition, q
perfect union is formed.

AN INEFFECTIVE REMEDY.
Error Of Housemaid Which She
Thought to Correct in
7 Queer WAY.

Sir William Ramsay visited Philadel-
phia recently with the Society of Chemi-
cal Industry, and during his visit re-
porter questioned him about the drink
ing water of the worlds great cities, re-
>lates an exchange.
'LOndon's drinking water is most
impure" the scientist said. ''They hold
that the English take more baths than
any other nation, but it is nevertheless
a fact that you Phialdelphians, when
your filtration plants shalll be COM
pleted, will have a larger water supply
than London, Notwithstanding the big
difference in the two cities popula-
tions.'
The reporter explained q new system
for pumping water,
What do you think of that system,
Sir William" he concluded.
81 think it is slow, roundabout and
awkward way of remedying impure wa
ter's evils" said the scientist. 1T re-
minds me of the way a parlor maid of
mine once tried to remedy the evil of
a wrongly set table.
This maid was left-handed, and in lay
ing the cloth she. put the knives on the
left of the plates and the forks on the
right. All wrong, you see.
''The housekeeper, coming in to look
the table over, noticed the error at
once.
"'Why, Harriet she sad, you have
placed all the knives and forks left
handed "
/ ''Ah, SO I have sighed Harriet.
Would you be kind enough row, ma'anl.
to help me turn the table?'' IS

there is much controversy and many
variations to choose between.
The beauty of the colorings and ma
terials employed in the days of the
Louis cannot be surpassed; for instance,
there are the wonderful blue and the
vieux rose, with both of which we are
familiar, and If neither Of these suits
us we can adopt that curious blue-green
Of later period, or the lovely old white
and gold brocades. In conjunction with
such glorified fabrics we want, of course,
beautiful lace, and some old paste OF
enamel buttons. But the lack of these
things need not dishearten the would-be
wearer of the Louis XVI. corsage. Let
me advise her to look carefully among
the relics OF the past, and if she cannot
find any lace-edged handkerchiefs which
she could utilize let her buy some very,
very fine plain Brussels net or some good
imitation lace. Nowadays the manufac-
turers are obliging enough to initiate
the old-world designs in a truly mar
velous manner. And Partisan diamonds
are indeed faithful reproduction of the
beautiful gems worn In the days of
Louis XVI.

"BRITE AND FAIR"

To-day was brite and fair."-From tn
Real Diary Of Real Boy.
'Britc and fair'-It tells the tale
OF the days Of long ago,
Bringing boyish song and hail
In an echo faint and low:
Written In the careless scrawl
Summing thus the days that wero-
Summer, winter. spring or fall.
Every day was "brite and fair"
Who remembers any rain
That came when he was a boy?
Who remembers any pain
Or forgets shred of joy7
In the picture Of your youth
On which you so often gaze,
Is there any cloud, in truth?
'Brite and fair were all the days.
Ho. the days that once were yours
Were the brightest days that dawned.
And the light of them endures
In your recollections fond!
How they rise, and how they call,
Wheresoever you may be
Till you hold them one and all
AS fine gold Of memory!
Looking back and looking far
Through the laughter and the play,
Was there anything to mar
Any single boyhood day?
Twas the sunshine brought the shade
Never any cloud Of care
And the heart within you made
Every day both ''brite and fair"

With an elevation no greater than the
height of a man is 1900 feet for the
Japanese rifle compared with 100 feet
for the Russian piece.
The Arisaka rifle has a central maya
zine of the Mauser type 1t is simple
| in it's mechanism and is easily manipu-
lated. The movable breech includes
cylinder working with lever, a NOV
able head and a firing pin, with cock
and rebounding spring. The loading of
the peace is rapidly executed. Open
ing the breech, the central magazine is
charged with metal loader, a kind of
small box or clip holding five cart
ridges uepress spring in the magazine
by which they are automatically raised
is, of course automatically elected by
| drawing back the cylinder, the same
operation serving to set the firing pin.
Both the Russian and Japanese cart
ridges are charged with smokeless pow
der, the Japanese containing slightly
| more of the explosive than the Rus
sian. The Japs manufacture their own
powder, the Itabaska brand.
One of the best features of the Ari-
saka rifle is the velocity of the projec-
tile. In the old smooth-bore a bullet
aimed at an object 900 feet distant!
would describe parabola, the highest
point of which would be 1923 feet above
horizontal line drawn from the
mouth of the rifle to the target With
the new Springfield, shooting at a
range of 1000 yards, the bullet rises at
it's greatest height only 81 feet, while
the Krag bullet, under the same condi-
tons, rises 26 feet, the turning point
in the trajectory being midway between
the marksman and the target. The Ari.
saka has slightly flatter trajectory
than the Springfield, and in close fight
ing the bullet practically moves in
straight line. This quality adds con-
siderable to the weapons accuracy
The bayonet used on the Arisaka rifle
is of the Sword" type, and can easily
be detached and used as hand
weapon in close fighting.
