All Same Chicago.

Tuesday afternoon there was a
strike among the wheat handlers
Of the steam boat line. The strike
was for shorter hours and more
pay. Some Of the men went back
to work and were stoned by those
who wanted to continue the strike.
The city marshal was hurriedly
sent for and the riot was soon
quelled. Some of the men re-
turned to work and one was arrest

Eat Seeds of SunfioWer.

A French physician, pr. Marcou, says that one of the first things which struck him on his arrival in Russia was the enromous quantity of sunflower seeds consumed in that country. The seeds, which are oleaginous and have an agreeable taste, are constantly chewed by the people. The outer husk is detached with the teeth and spat out.
 These husks are seen scattered about on pavements and garden walks, in railway carriages, tramway cars and cabs, and on the floors of restaurants and private rooms. On days of public festivity the ground everywhere is GOV cred with them as thickly as the streets of Paris are strewn with con fetti during the carnival. At every street corner a brisk trade is done in the seeds by old women.
 A striking proof of this passion for it is nothing less-of the Russian peasant is the fact that the Czarina could think of nothing that would be more welcome to the soldiers in Man. churia, and she is said to have spent $160 in satisfying their craving for sunf1ower seeds. As the seeds are very cheap, that sum represents an enor- nous consignment.

To Prognost,cate Storms.

By means of delicate instrument called the ceraunograph, Rev. Freder- ick l.. Odersbach, professor of chemis- try in St. Ignatius College, in Cleve- land, Ohio, is able to foretell many hours the numerous summer storms which come up, often on bright, warm, clear days, with startling rapidity, and with dire results to the small craft along the sea coast and on inland waters.
 The action of the ceraunograph is simple and easily understood by any one acquainted with an ordinary tele- graph system with relay. The initial action precedes the advent of the storm from one to thirtysiX hours. As the electric disturbance advances the coherer is very busy, soon produc- ing continuous band record, while the decoherer keeps up a constant chatter, which finally becomes deafen- ing

Old Portraits in Horn,

Most of the specimens that have been handed down to us of impressed horn work, so greatly valued at the time, date from about the sixteenth century to the very early part of the nineteenth; but it was from the mid de of this period about 175O, that the best specimens have been left us. When the well-dressed beaux in Queen Anne's reign took to carrying snuff boxes, this gave a great impetus to an art produced by softening the horn in hot water, and so pressing it into molds, which were specially sharp cut and clear of outline. In this way many portraits have been handed down to us, not always of those living at the time, but from some cause or other brought prominently forward. The Stuart kings found special acceptance with the Jacobites, and the arms of noted families have been perpetuated with their portraits.
 The two most famous artists in horn work were John Osborn, who was hard at work at Amsterdam in the second decade of the seventeenth century, and John O'Brisset, whose handiworks were executed in England early in the eighteenth.
 Tortoise shell, turtle, elk horn and wood were treated in the same fash ion. The wooden impressed work ap- pertains to Germany, and among other examples one depicting Louis K, King of France, survives.
 Many of the finest examples of this horn work are set in silver.-London Queen.

Conspicuous among the multitude oe famous and interesting persons whom Moncure D. Conway mentions in his recent Autobiography" is the poet Longfellow.
 At the time Mir. Conway was study ing in Cambridge in 1853, Longfellow was the professor of poetry in Harv- ard University, and it is plain that the affection and reference the poet then inspired in the young student have survived the half. century that has passed.
 "Longfellow's personality was po- tent among us," says Mir. Conway His modesty. his amiable man-to-man manners toward the young, the ab- sence of airs or mannerisms, his trans parent veracity of mind and respect for all sincere opinions, were very en- gazing. He was universally beloved"

SUFFICIENT IDENTIFICATION.
~NNN~NNNOON

The necessity of Identification is one of the concessions the honest portion of the community has to make to a world in which fraud and deceit are not un- known. Not every one holds the same confidence in human nature as the toll keeper who, when asked what the bridge fees were, replied 1.-Two cents, sir, and half-prce for ministers" But how do you know a man is minister just because he says so?" "Oh, sir, ministers never lie." The paying teller of certain bank did not see matters in such a Hibernian light; he required definite Identification, and the Chi cago News tells how he got it.
 "You will have to be identified be- fore I can pay you the money on this check" said the teller.
 "Aint it good?" asked the man.
 "Oh, the checks all right, but don't know you. You must get some one who knows you to come here and tell me you are the one to whom the check is made out"
 The man left the bank with puzzled expression on his face. Half an hour later he returned.
 "The man that gave me that check" he said, "can't come, but he sent this, and says for you to give me the money"
 He held up large sheet of paper. On it was the pencil outline of mans hand. The chart showed first finger cut off below the knuckle and the sec ond finger missing. Below it was writ ten, "This is the best I can do. can't come over and the man can't write, so I can't o. K. his signature. The man has an anchor tattooed on his right arm and powder marks on the lobe of his left ear. He smells of whisky, and can lick any man in your bank with one hand tied behind him." That the note was written by the sign CT of the check was evident from the handwriting.
 Hold up your hand," said the teller.
 The man held his hand over the trac- ing on the paper, and it fitted per fectly.
 "Show me the anchor"
 The blue-tinte emblem of hope ap. peared. The powder marks were in evidence, and the air was burdened with the odor of whisky.
 Here's your money" said the teller. "You needn't try to lick anybody. You're sufficiently identified"

sTeNOGRAPHY TO MINES.
A Cripple Creek Woman Took Tips
 that Turned Out Right.


 From a stenographer to millionair- ess is the romantic story of ten years of the life of Miss Mollie O'Bryan of Cripple Creek, says the Denver Post.
 Ten years ago Miss O'Bryan lived at Lake City, Colo., and thought that what of her fortune was to give her the comforts and luXuries of life must come from pounding the keys of typewriter.
 While perfecting herself in stenogra- phy in the little Colorado town, she re- ceived letter from a friend in Cripple Creek urging her to come to that place, where high prices were paid for competent work. She accepted the in vitation, and the fall of 1903 found her engaged in taking dictatiOns and writ ing out contracts and options for the mining men of the greatest gold camp on earth.
 It was not long before Miss O'Bryan was making few Investments herself. Her keen foresight told her that the possibilities of the incipient gold dis trict were great. She bought stocks. They advanced in value. In short time her bank'account was sufficiently large to buy property. Then came the organization of stock companies.
 One of her ventures was the Teu- tonic. Holding the major portion of the stock she was, of course, made president It was well located-in fact, it is located on Ironclad hill, ad- joining the famous w. ?. H. mine. At the present valuation her interests in this mine alone will soon be worth $25O,0O0.
 Miss O'Bryan is also president of the Gold Bond Consolidated Company, with property on Gold Hill and most of the great gold-producing hills of the camp.
 She is president of the Amalgamated Gold Mining Company, owning 120 acres on Battle Mountain, the home of the Gold Coin, Ajax, Portland and h. dependence mines, as well as property on Globe and other hills well within the gold belt
 In addition to this large ownership in the Cripple Creek district, Miss O'Bryan is extensively interested in California and Nevada. She is secre- tary and treasurer of the Virginia Gold Mining Company at Goldfeld, which owns most promising property. She is also treasurer of the Goldfield Unit ed Mines Company, as well as one of its stockholders.

"Yes, they accused me of adulterat- ing my canned fruit They named a certain formula that is designated for adulterating and asked me If I didn't use it"
 "What did you say?

 "Have you heard about Frances and Genevieve Herrickr'
 Irma put the question to a group of girls in the study-room, and then turn ing, inquired, Does our talk disturb you, Miss Wilmarth?"
 The young woman who was correct ing papers at desk shook her head pleasantly, and Irma pursued:
 "Well those two sisters are inf Eu- rope now, following exactly the same route, but they started six weeks apart to avoid taking the trip togeth- erv'
 "Why?" sounded surprised chorus.
 "Oh, they think they are too com pletely merged in each other for their separate good-that Genevieve over shadows Frances in conversation, and Frances takes too much responsibility in other ways. They're great on the development of the individual, you know, and each aspires to be sym metrical whole.' They said it was hard to give up having this experience together, but they're so strong minded they determined to go with different parties because they thought each of them would get so much more out of it."
 "Foolishnessw cried somebody.
 "That's what their father thought He's getting old, you know, and can't keep up with their ideas. He wanted them to go together because their mother isn't strong, and she said it would be relief to her to have the ocean voyage over for both of them at once. Besides, she'd feel better all the time, in case one of them should be i'll or anything, to know they were togeth- CT. But the girls were firm, and of course their father wouldn't refuse to pay the bills. Come on-there goes the bellw
 The group dispersed, but one girl fingered.
 What do you say, Miss Wilmarth ?" she asked. "Can those girls get enough benefit in the way of individual devel- opment to pay them for sacrificing the pleasure of having that trip together"
 Miss Wilmarth waited little, and smoothed fold of her black gown be- fore she spoke.
 "That doesn't seem the question to me, Harriet. I can't help thinking of the needless anxiety they are causing their old father and mother, and won- dering whether they can get enough benefit to pay for that"
 "Oh," said Harriet, softly, for the tremble in the voice that answered had reminded her that neither father nor mother was left in Miss Wilmarth's home Then she added, honestly, T never once thought of their fathers and mothers side of itr'-Youths Com. panion.

AN INTREPID BALLoONlST.
He Secured Valuable Photographs of
 Egyptian Landscape.

Egyptian Landscape.
 Captain Spelterini an intrepid 1tal- ian, bears the proud title of being the foremost balloonist in the world, says the Philadelphia Record There is difference between flying machine and balloon, and Captain Spelterini, with a record of 532 air voyages, in which he carried a sum total of over l,200 passengers has been satisfied to confine his attention to the old and veadier means of lOcOmotion through the air rather than devote himself to the ever-living and ever-failing flying machine. Spelterini is a recognized expert in aeronautic science. As such he has been engaged by the military authorities of several European nations and in regard to the possibilities of the balloon in time of war Spelterini can speak volumes. He has also been util- ized by scientists. He has journeyed over the Alps and obtained photo graphs from the balloon which pos sossed great topographic value. In 1SS9-9O, when Nesuvius was in the coure of violent eruption, he made famous voyage directly above the blaz- ing crater, accompanied by several re- nowned geologsts. In all his balloon- ing career Captain Speterini has es- capped serious accident except on one occasion, when he was dumped into the Mediterranean Sea near the Island of Capri.
 Last year he determined to take an air voyage over Cairo and the Egyp- tian pyramids, and to take photographs from the balloon, a rather delicate per formance. He rose from the Esbekije gardens, in Cairo, and his balloon, the Stella, circled over the quaint Moham- medan city with it's mosques and min arets. It was then swept southward toward the pyramids of Gizeh. On this voyage Spelterini obtained fine photograph of the famous tomb of the Caliphs.
 He made a second voyage and was this time swept over the Sphinx and the great pyramids of Cheops. He again obtained fine photographs of this waste and myth-haunted region.' The photographs not only possess an inter- est to the laymen, because they show what striking monuments of ancient grandeur the pyramids are, towering, even as seen from a balloon, hign in the air, but they are extremely valua- ble to the topographer giving graph ically, as nothing else can, the general formation of the land. Captain Spell terini intends in the near future to make several voyages over the Swiss glaciers, thereby affording himself a unique pleasure and adding something at the same time to geological science.
