Who Wss cindereIIeY

When ,"6inderella" is produced
as a paHtomime in the theaters or
as spectacle in circuses the char
acters are always dressed in either
the costumes of Charles l. or George
L., and most people wonder what
vas the nationality of this young
lady or the period in which she
lived. She was an Egyptian by
birth, and her name was Rhodope.
She was very beautiful and lived
during the reign of one Of the
twelve kings Of Egypt. One day
she went to bathe in a beautiful
river and left her shoes, which were
very small, on the bank thereof.
An eagle pounced down upon them
and bore one of them off in his tai
ons and, acting the part of the fairy
godmother, when flying over Mem
phis, where the king was staying,
let it fall directly at his feet. Its
small size and beauty attracted the
attention of the sovereign, and he
Immediately dispatched ENJOYS to
discover its owner. Rhodope was
eventually found and was carried to
Memphis in triumph, where she be-
came the queen of King Asammeti-
cus.-London Standard.

GROWING EIowers In Winter.

A long run of dark days in winter Is
bad for the florists. 1t matters little
how cold the weather is, provided
there is sunshine, for the heat can al
ways be maintained to the proper
point, and with sunshine flowers will
bloom just as freely when the ther-
mometer shows an outdoor tempera-
ture of zero as at the freezing point,
though of course more money must be
spent for coal But when, day after
day, for weeks at a time, clouds over
hang the sky, nothing will grow as 1t
should. The carnation buds develop
slowly until they are half open and
wait for sunshine, and If It does not
come in four or five days the blooms
decay. So also 1t is with callas and
roses. They will open halfway, then.
without sunlight, will quickly spoil

The Gods Bill OF Faro.

An interesting exhibit in the South
Hensington museum, London, illus
trates the omnivorous nature Of the
Gods diet. Among the fish falling a
prey to its voracious maws we note
the young of the herring, dab, whiting
and sand eel. Shrlmps and young lob
sters also form an important item In
the Gods menu The strangest part of
the Gods diet perhaps is the sea mouse.
whose thick covering of brlstles might
be thought TO render it unwelcome to
any stomach. Large whelks and shells
of whelks with their indwelling hermit
crabs are also largely deyoured. From
It's partiality to mollusks, in fact, the
cod may become an assistant to the
shell collector. Woodward in his "Man-
ual of the Mollusca" remarks that
"some good northern seashells have
been rescued unbroken from the stom-
ach of the cod."-London Globe.

ORIGIN OF TRADES UNIONS.
D,urneymen Bakers Struck In New
York az Early as 1741.

D,urneymen Bakers Struck In New
York az Early as 174t.
The exact date of the origin of
hades unions in America is un-
known. 1t is believed, says the re-
port of the Massachusetts bureau of
statistics of labor, that there we're
no labor unions in the colonies, al
though strike of journeymen
bakers is said to have occurred in
New York in 1741. Whatever Of
associated effort there was among
wotkmen at this early period was
of temporary nature, having a
single purpose in view, and when
this was accomplished whatever
compact existed was then dissolved.
1t was then the custom to call a
general meeting" whenever mat
ter of trade importance presented
itself. Such calls wete generally
signed by one or two plen of recog-
nized influence in the trade, and the
meetings were, as a rule, held in
private homes. They were organized
by the election of officers, a state
ment. was made 'of the purpose in
calling the. trade together, and after
q discussion resolutions were adopt
ed embodying the views of those
present on the question presented.
When the meeting had decided what
the attitude of the trade was to be
all those present, if willing to do SO,
signed an agreement to stand by
one another during the difficulty.
Many if not all of the strikes in
colonial times were undertaken
with no more of an organization
than this.
The first real understanding, SO
far as compositors were concerned,
is said to have been in 1776, when
the journeymen printers made de-
mand for an increase of wages,
which was refused by their employ
ers, with the result that strike was
called. This proved successful, and
the association ended. Again, in
1886, an effort was made to reduce
wages to $3.50 1-3 a week, and the
trade was again called together and
a statement issued declaring that
the signers would not work for less
than Sc week.
The great period of growth for
labor unions was in the latter part
of the sixties of the last century,
owing to the organization of great
corporations and to the opening up
of the whole country to the work
of freemen. Local unions were
everywhere formed, vigorous labor
journals appeared, labor parties
were organized, in some places rep
resentatives of labor were elected
to office, and many of the largest
and strongest national unions now
existing were established.

THE GLASS OF BEER.
A Small Quantity Of Alcohol Lessons &
Mans Power to Work.

\ Small Quantity Of Alcohol Lesssns 4
Mans Power to Work.
In this question of alcohol the dis
eoveries Of the scientific Inquirers are
a thousand times more trustworthy
than the conclusions Of doctors formed
at the bedside.
Is the pint of beer or glass OF whisky
or bottle of wine really. then. help to
work. There is not the least doubt
that 1t 10 not help. but a great hin
dranee. Here Is q little experiment
that was carried out at Heidelberg a
few years ago:
-Four compositors were made to abb
stain from alcohol on some days, and
on the other days thsy were dosed with
small quantities. The doses were very
small and they had no effect The men
set up rs much type after the dose as
before This puzzled the scientists, for
( they knew by experiment that all
kinds OF drink weaken the heart and
paralyEe the nerves.
AOnENCAH I'LL lAA0
composItors were moderate drinkers
and were so thoroughly used to alcohol
that small doses could do little one
way or another, they observed what
happened after a Sunday carouse.
No. 1 man was in the habit Of
drinking four glasses of beer every
week day and eight on Sunday.
No. 2 drank couple Of glasses daily
and four or five On Sunday.
No. 3 seldom drank on week days,
but took three glasses on Sunday.
B No. I took three glasses every week
day and Eve on Sunday.
Now. all these men admitted that
they found their work more difficult on
Mondays and they made more mistakes.
But they had no Idea what the effect Of
the alcotlol was on the output. The
scientists measured It exactly, and, to
the eonpositors' surprise. found that
they did ID per cent less work on Mon
days than on other days.
This Is only one Of many expert
ments. DR.. Smith got some men to
drink alcohol equal to two glasses of
whisky or about two and a half pints
Of beer 10 the twenty-four hours. Then
be let them rest for twelve hours. att
eF which be tested them. The result
was startling Their capacity to add
figures was 20 per cent less. Their
power to remember was 20 per cent
less.
Other experiments showed that very
moderate quantities Of drink reduced
the power to make measurements with
the eye. to perform any feat Of
strength, to reason and also reduced
mans wind
Now. all these powers are essential
10 good work, and so It Is clear that al
Z eohol lessons a mans power to work.
Dr. Smiths concluSfon was that alco-
hol, whether as beer, whisky, wine or
anything else, mot only destroys the
beneficial effects Of practice in every
occupation. but depresses every kind
OF intellectual and muscular ability"
This is what an amount equal to from
two to four glasses OF beer daily ef-
fects.-London Answers.
