Holy Saturday in Florence.

At Florence on Holy Saturday a
chariot is drawn into the square before
the cathedral. Within the chariot are
bundles of powder connected one with
another by means of a fuse, and from the
chariot to the high altar of the cathedral
runs a wire. When the crowd has gath
cred at a safe distance around the powder
laden car and just as the bells strike noon
the archbishop releases a toy dove, which
travels down the wire with a bit of flame
in it's beak. As the messenger of fire
flies into the chariot it's gaudy decorations
are hurled into the air, with a roar and
a cloud of smoke. If the dove flies stead
lily to its goal the year will be a propi-
tious one, but if the bird hesitates there is
evil ahead.-New York Tribune.

MAKE MONEY WITHOUT BOSS.

SIX Chicago barber Try Co-opern-
tive Schcme Successfully.
Six Chicago BARRIERS, all first-ciass
men, decided recently that they could
live without being shackled by q
''boss.' They dubbed together, started
a shop, and are making good. Thest
six men determined to try co~-operatioD
instead OF working for fixed wages
They had made from $12 to SIT Z week
working for bosses. Sometimes theiI
earnings fell below $12, but seldom
went above SIT. They had worked ON
regular salaries, on commission, and
they decided to take q chance. Not one
OF the six had enough money to start
a barber shop Of his own and hire the
others. They decided to pool their re
sources, and by so doing they secured
a lease Of a good stand and furnished
1t. The receipts go into q common
fund, a reserve is kept to meet rent,
Hight and other expenses, and at the
emo OF the week the receipts are divid
ed. Thus far, according to the men,
the cooperative scheme has been Q
success. Not only do they make more
money per man out OF each shave OF
hair cut, but they find, SO they say.
that the general public will p%atronize
them rather than a shop owned by q
boss. Each man feels that be is Ee1p

along in the world. Besides that, the

and do their best work on each custom.

The boss share Of q shop is about
half the total receipts, out Of which he
must pay expenses. The expenses Of
this six-chair shop, including the small
wage poid the porter, mount to about
$15 i month. The boss share from the
shop would have been over 3t75
month, according to one months re
ce:pts in the cooperative place. By
eliminating the boss the men figure
that they are dividing between them
selves 500 q month that he would

who was the historian of this discovery.
The vessel was on her way from Spain
to Cuba. An attempt was made to land
and leave some hogs, with a view to pos
sible future needs, but, according to the
record, a storm arose and the boat did not
leave the vessel. Thi. is the first time
that any mention of the islands appears
in history.
The terrible storms that f%requented this
group led the Spaniards to believe that
the islands were peopled by devils and
evil spirits, and they became known as
Los niabolos. Nor were these vexing,

of ground left to the parish in the good
old days the villagers have to indulge In
the doubtful pleasure of a game of bot
tie kicking, butz before they can begin
to play certain preliminaries nave to be
one through. Two large meat pies and
two dozen penny loaves have to be
scrambled for. A huge wooden bottle,
bound round with iron rims and con-
tanning ale, is thrown on the ground, and
the men of the n~eighboring village OF
Melbourne have to wrest it from the
Hallatonian grasp. 1t is hardly necessary
to add that the struggle is invariably
provocative of a good many casualties Of

rbe F,d In easter Cards.

Almost all the Easter cards are dis
tinctly secular. Flowers and doves and
other emblems of peace and purity adorn
them, but there are few representations
of se%pulchers and very few religious texts.
To such an extent has the secular card
craze been carried, indeed, that those
who refuse to buy them are known as spe
~cialists, and some few ecclesiastical cards,
which no doubt the shopkeepers think In
appropriate to the season and only called
for by cranks, are slowed away for them.

Friends and foes OF the saloon met
IN a bitter struggle Tuesday, fighting
from II end OF Illinois to the other,
and from the Indiana line to the Mis-
sissippl River. They fought over the
question of the abolition of more than
1900 saloons in 1000 townships of the
State. Estimates from the %headquar-
tiers tents Of the rival chiefs vary seri-
ously as to the details of the result.
Conservative figures place the number
of saloons abolished at 1859, and twen-
ty-five Illinois counties are added to
the dry list.
The returns as they were received
Tuesday night indicate that 535 incor-
porated cities and villages are now in
anti-saloon territory that 2o2 incor-
porated municipalities are in townships
which refused to become ~anti-saloon
territory, and that 1859 saloons were
put out of business by the vote. The
net majority against the saloons, esti-
mated on the returns from the town
ships voting, Is 37.S4S.
In the face of these figures, repre-
sentatives OF h liquor interests say
not more than 400 saloons We're wiped
out, while the anti-saloon forces claim
not less than 1000 will awe to cease
business

Prohibition was defeated in the spe-

a majority of 200 having been given for
the retention of the saloons under a
$500 license fee and az all-daylight
schedule. The total vote was slightly
less thar 5000, much below the regis

rain, is credited by the Prohibitionists
with losing them the fight. The result

Pittock & Leadbetter lumber mill
was almost entirely destroyed by fire
this morning.
The mill proper, with all the mach
inery, is a complete wreck, much
damage has been done to dock and
a considerable quantity of lumber has
been burned. The boilerroom and
the greater portion of the lumber in
the yards have been saved, due en-
tirely to the absence of wind.
The machinery in the mill is said
to be valued at about $150,000, and
at a low estimate the other losses
will aggregate 100000. Upon this
there is an insurance of 100000.
