ADVERTISER buTedu,
Selma, Oct. 3.
The strike situation at the southern
Railway shops remained unchanged
today. The men who walked out yes
terday morning did not go near the
shops and in the machine shops no
work at all has been done.
The strike is different from the
strike of several years ago. During
the previous strike all Of the machin-
lists did not go out but number OF
them remained at work.
When the strike was ordered yes
terday every machinist In the shops
walked out. Several of the appren-
tice boys also joined them and only

adjusted 1t Is very probable that the
boiler makers and carpenters in the
employ of the system will make a de-
mand for an increase in wages.

A fourteenth century manuscript,

Visconti with the Duke Lionel Plan
tagenet, son of Edward III. of Eng
land, at Milan, Italy The wedding
dinner consisted of eighteen courses,
as follows: FIR course sucking
pigs wrapped in thin coating of
gold, fish with their mouths giving
forth fire; second, hares roasted and
gilded; third, veal roasted and trout
incrusted in gold; fourth, quails. part
ridges, and again trout roasted and
gjlded; fifth, bucks, game and more
fish; sixth, beef and capons unadorn-
ed; seventh, capOns, meat and fish
done in lemon; eighth, beef and fish
of different kinds; ninth, eels and
more meat; tenth, galantine of meat
and fish; eleventh, lamb roasted;
twelfth, hare and wild boar with
onions; thirteenth, venison: four

sauce of apples and lemons; fifteenth,
peacocks with beans, sailed tongue

OVER BLESSING OF beasts

On Jan. II every person of San
Antonio, Mex, brings favorte beast
to be blessed in the square before the
parish church, says writer in the
New York Tribune. The streets are
narrow, and the patient file of horses
and burrows wendell their way to-
ward the blessing. Last January
witnessed this curious spectacle:
Dogs, of course, were more numer-
Gus. One dear little dirty, three
legged cur, dingy white and yellow,
with precocious eyes, was held in a
baby's arms. The prettiest creatures
were the turkeys. There is a pecu.
liar affinity between a peon and a
turkey. The Aztec name is always
used, although the Spanish "pavo" is
easier to say than "gaulajote." This
combination of letters. when pro.
nounced by the knowing, sounds ex-
actly like the turkeys talk, even more
characteristic than our english "gob-
BILE, gobble, gobble."
Whlle waiting for the padre | saw
half a dozen men and women squat
ting, their arms carelessly thrown
over those red wattled, imposing
fowl. There were also parrots and
paroquets, pigeons and ducks and
swans, a dozen of them, ungainly and
serpentlike, out of their native ele-
ment, and pair of peacocks also.
Sheep, more black than white. for
black sheep are the fashion in Mex
leo, added to the biblical effect.

would tend to revolt rather than
tempt the palate. In the succeeding
years the manner of preparing food
changed little by little and certain
fondness for dishes a trifle bizarre
and grotesque began to be felt. The
wags of the day made many jests
and the street poets earned many an
honest penny from their parodies on
the foolish tastes of the day. The
coming of the French influence caus-
ed revolution gastronomically. The
heavy repasts disappeared entirely. A
delicacy of taste made itself felt.
French cooks were imported from
Paris to teach the Milanese, and 1t Is
is due to them that at the present
time in Italy, Mianese cook Is
priced and ranks next to a French
one
This delicacy of taste was felt
throughout all classes. In his mem
oirs the Ambassador de Brosses re-
cords with much surprise the Lom-
bards love of sweets ana relates hav-

neighboring tavern to eat an ice

sweets came a certain effeminacy of

sweets they should not dribble on

One old man passed me with
strange glitter in his eye. His left
hand was thrust into his breast and
his shifting, restless glance made me
shudder. What was the secret thing
he carried in his bosom for bless
ing? Strangely attracted, ! moved to
ward him, but soft sibilant hiss
made me see snakes and | gave him
a wide berth.

he wound his way through the crowd
San Antonio Abad is always followed
by pig, and in some Italian city
there is a famous painting called

behind me couldn't understand this,
but an Irishman explained it to her
satisfaction by suggesting that the
pig represented gluttony and to cast
out that devil was the greatest mira.

There was good deal Of kicking
and jumping about to begin with. but
whether the beasts were hypnotized
by the shining crucifix that preceded
the padre or their dumb souls were
touched by the Lord Himself, can
not tell. do know that as the little
procession came out of the church

The animals stood immovable. Even

Many imagine that the normal state
of health is best represented by q
straight line. This is by no means the
case. There is a rhythmic undulation
in the flow of our vital force. The
dynamo which furnishes the working
powers of consciousness and action has
its annual, monthly. daily waves, even
its momentary ripples. We have our
bad times and good times. Some by
careful observation Of the rise and fail
of this curve have SO adjusted their
holidays and times Of rest and activity
as to conserve their energies and avoid
the snares Of disease. 1t Is from his
knowledge of this curve that the fam
lily physician can act successfully.

"The longer live" remarked an
elderly man. 1.-THE more l realize what

cupy In our memories. was re-
minded of this pointedly twice The
other day, in the morning by a strol
through the museum up in The Bronx
and in the afternoon by meeting
woman whom hadn't seen IN six
years, but with whom used to sit az
table frequently when she permitted
me to devote myself to her.
"As walked through the aisle OF the
museum looked at specimens OF
vans, bread-fruit, cOcOanuts, guaVas
and all the varieties Of tropical fruits
and vegetables they have in the cases,
and found they comprised practically
all of my recollections OF every DOCK
of travel and exploration l had ever
read. 1 couldn't pass very good eA-
animation In Robinson Crusoe, l am

I've read them all, and Stevensons

my mouth watered for them just as
It used to when was :eading one OF
those books.
1.-THE same thing happened when
met the woman spoke Of. 1t was at q
tea and the first thing / Thought OF
when she refused cup was that she
had always preferred coffee, German
fashion, in the afternoon: that when
she wanted toast II 1t wasn't hot the
waiter and l used to catch 1t; that
she liked cold turkey In jelly, and once
scandalized a supper party In Sherry's
by ordering cold beef and bottle OF
Bass. All these things came and went
while was trying to recall her hrst
name. And it didn't come back to me
until hours afterward. That was Il
nice person who set down the phrase
about the way to mans heart being
