BROUGHT BAD LUCK.
Chain of MisfOrtunes that Befell Man
 After Finding Supposed Mascot.

New York. July 31.-Finding q four-leaf clover is sometimes like talk ing a half-frozen rattlesnake to, bed to warm it up or seeing the new moon over the left shoulder. as George Wood. of Belleville. \. J.. found yesterday. It is not always good luck.
 Wood was on his way home yester- day when his shoe lace became un- tied. He stopped to tie 1t. and in do- ing so saw a four-leaf clover grow ing by the roadside He picked 1t.
 'This'll bring me good luck for sure" Wood said as he stuck 1t in the band of his hat.
 Something must have been wrong with the clover leafs luck k-producer for these are few of the things that happened tO Wood, his family and his possessions:
 A fine horse died before a veterin. ary arrived.
 His youngest child suddenly taken i'll.
 His five-year old sons face badly cut with a stone thrown by another youngster.
 The lid of the ice-chest fell on hi: wife's nose. almost breaking it.
 Wood ran into a bar across ths barn door. cut his lips and lOOsened his teeth.
 After Mir Wood had stopped tho flow of blood from his mouth h. pIucked the four-leaf clover from hi- hat. and in endeavoring to grind | beneath his heel hurt his pet corn.

Speaking of the manufacture of firearms at Belgium it is said that at Liege the large majority of the workmen in the trade carry on their work at home, having private forges and workshops, and are engaged in one special branch of the trade at which they become extremely skill full and which they bring to the high est point of perfection. These work men carry on their trade for years, initiating the members of their fam lilies into their own particular branch, always endeavoring to give perfect finish to their manufac- lures and to discover and carry out new theories. The maker of barrels, for instance, is frequently engaged in manufacturing barrels for several different factories at the same time, and the better the work and the higher the finish of the articles he produces the more probability there is of his obtaining regular and lu- crative employment. Thus the ma- jor part of the workers in the Liege arms industry are practically their own masters, the remuneration that they receive for their work depend
 - rHNN HHn ing entirely upon their intelligence, ability and application.

 In the royal palace at Madrid there is strange collection consisting of
 mementoes of all the occasions on which young King Alfonso's life has
 been attempted or been in danger.
 Some years ago when still boy AL
 fonso was threatened by a rufian
 with a knife. Alfonso struck the
 man on the hand with his walking
 stick and made him drop the knife,
 which the king then picked up for his collection. The collection also
 contains the skin of the horse which
 was killed by the bomb thrown at

 There is such a thing as being too eager to help. A London girl had a
 rather embarrassing experience in a church recently. She accidentally
 let her handkerchief fall. By repeat edly stopping to reach it furtively she attracted the attention of the gentleman in the pew behind, who thought she was about to faint. With the best of motives, therefore. he took her gently under the arms and raised her up. greatly to her surprise. As she tried to release herself another gentleman went to her assistance and before the lady knew what was the matter they were moving her out into the aisle, and, indeed, carried her into the vestibule before she could recover sufficiently from her astonishment to find words for pro- test.-New Haven Journal and Cour- fer N| @-a

Referring to our navy's submarine boats, description of the Octopus" the largest of four boats now build ing, will prove interesting. The Octo- pus is 105 feet long, and will have a speed on the surface of 102 knots per hour, and Sk knots when running submerged. She will carry four large torpedoes, any one of which could blow battleship to atoms, and destroy her complement of six or eight hundred souls. The contract for this boat calls for service or en- durance test in the open sea of twen- ty-four hours duration, at high speeds after which she is to remain at sea, self-sustaining, for three days The vessel is to be able to sink to a distance of 200 feet below the sur- face of the sea.

lon at Nuevitas. Of the one million dollars appropriated, $S00.000 is te be used to transport families from Europe and the Canary Islands and s200,000 in paying the fare of single men from Sweden. Denmark, Norway and Northern Italy. The law abso- lutely bars the gates to Chinese and West Indian Negroes on the ground that they are menace to white la bor. The secretary of agriculture of Cuba estimates that Cuba can SUD- port population of 12,000,000 and he hopes that the present law will in duce immigration to practically that extent.
 While Canada to the north of us and Cuba to the south of us are ap- lpropriating each million dollars a year to encourage immigration, every effort is being made by the United States to stop the tide of immigration | to this country. During the last fiscal year, 1.100.073 persons who never before had been in the United States came here to take up resi-. dence. It is nearly certain that con. gress will enact at Its next session law further to restrict immigration The law would have been enacted al the last session if the congressiona elections had not been approaching Sentiment Is crystalizing in favor oi an educational test, but, in the opin ion of immigration experts, it i! doubtful even if that test will reduce greatly the flood of immigrants.
 An interesting study is afforded by the immigration statistics of the last year. They indicate that immi grafton from the progressive coun tries of Europe is falling of. and tha Russia. Italy. Hungary and Austria are furnishing the greatest number of immigrants to the United States

CUBA WANTS LABoRERs.
1. sn9i7w usosssoino Vt Dvn~O enIDlo, Baby Republic Would Put Them to
 Work on the Plantations.

Washington, D. C., July 31.-Cuba is contracting for laborers to work on her plantations and, evidently, the baby republic has no apprehension as to the results of the policy. The scheme adopted by Cuba is in con- sonance with that of Canada, the island government being determined to turn the tide of immigration its way if encouragement in the way of money will accomplish the result.
 A few days ago the Cuban con- gress enacted an immigration law which already has attracted the at tention of the immigration authori- ties of this country. Transactions of the new law have been received by the state department and by the bureau of immigration and have caused considerable comment. The principal object of the new legisla- tion is to induce the emigration to Cuba of laborers who will assist in the development of the sugar plan- tations. To encourage the iaborers to go to Cuba the Cuban congress has placed at the disposal of President Palma and his executive officers $1,- 900 ,000 for the first year and pro vision of the law directs that the executive shall spend the amount ap- propriated for the purpose specified and promises that additional appro- priations will be made from time to time, as they may be needed. Under the provisions of the law the consular agents of the republic are made immigration agents and they are directed to encourage i'm. migrants to go to Cuba. The presi. dent of the republic is authorized to contract with the transportation companies for the carrying of field hands and their families. The Cuban government is to pay all the expenses of the immigrants to the island and if. on reaching the island, the immi grants cannot comply with the pro visions of the law they are 10 bs sent home at the expense of the gov lernment.
 The law provides that the immi grants shall fulfill these three condi tions:
 CD. The family shall go to Cubs to take up residence on the estate of a planter, land owner. or ''colono.' | f2D. The planter, land owner. oi 'eolono" shall have bound himself to enter into contract with the head of the family to assure his permanen residence on his estate.

Forty-three manufacturers of ale and beer barrel stock have sent re- ports of their output during 1905 to the forest service of the United States agricultural department. These, in connection with previous statements from the manufacturers of the pack ages produced from this stock. give some insight into the importance of white oak, since that wood is the only one that can be used. The total number of slaves reported is 12.57s.- 900. and of heading 2,1s7. 900 sets. Tn round numbers that means mater iaI for approximately 1000, 900 pack ages. or an average of 121z slaves to the package, which is about the av- craze number of slaves in the quar- ter-barrel size. A set of heading means material for one complete head. which may be of one or more pieces The returns from the differ ent states show that Kentucky pro- duced by far the largest quantities of both slaves and headings.

 gon, California and Massachusetts make fir, spruce and pine, respective ly, permissible but by no means pre- ferable. Gum and cypress are used for sirup, and ash is used in small quantities for pork and miscellan- eous packages. The white oak used for ale and beer packages must be of the very highest grade, for, unlike most other tight cooperage stock, it is split by hand instead of being sawed. Because of this method, only the choicest trees, straight-grained and free from knots or other defects, can be used. t,a
