PRINTERS UNIONS.
Among the First Trade Organizations
 In the United States.


 The printers were among the first to form trade unions in the United States.
 In 1795 the Typographical society of New York city was organized. It fixed the scale of wages for compost tors at $1 day. which was an in- crease of 12h cents over the then prevailing rate. This society lived for two years. There has been tenn porary organization in 1776, which struck for an increase of wages, got 1t and disbanded. In Philadelphia in l786, when the employers attempted to reduce wages from $6 week to $5,S3 Ia week, the competitors or ganized. This struggle lasted for some time. The organization com posed of twenty-six members. dis banded as soon as the contest was won. .r ..
 The Franklin Typographical So- ciety of Journeymen Printers was organized in New York city in 1799, formulating a demand for 25 cents per 1000 ems on piecework, or $7 a week in book and job offices and $S a week on newspapers. Later 1t went on strike to enforce these demands. This society ceased to exist in 1894. Another was organized in 1909 and immediately went on strike for res toration of the wage scale of 1799. Of this organization Samuel Wood worth, author of "The Old Oaken Bucket" was a prominent member The trade had become thoroughly de- moralized after 1894, and most com- positors were working for 20 cents per 1000 ems, the men being largely displaced by youths who got from $4 Ito $4.50 a week. Presswork had slumped from 37k cents to 25 cents per "token"-240 sheets.
 The Philadelphia Typographical society was organized and presented its scale of wages to the employers February 22, 1902. It had ffty-four charter members. A copy of this scale still exists and doubtless is the old est printers union wage scale in the English language, antedating by three years the Edinburgh scale of prices of 1895, the oldest to be found in Great Britain. The scale called for $S week for pressmen and printers and 25 cents per 1000 ems on piece work.-Chicago News.

 H. N. B.-Who was the inventor of the first steam road carriage and when?
 A. It is generally agreed that the first working road locomotive was built by Nicholas Joseph Cugnot, a Frenchman, in 1769. He is said TO have been the first to transport pas sengers in steam conveyances on English highways. The enterprise failed because of the excessive ex- pense, the roads being poor. It was at this period that Watts was experi- menting in road locomotion, having patented steam carriage in 1784. The modern period of experimenta- tion may be said to have commenced by Leon Serpollet, who made his first steam carriage about 1894.
 J. A. M.-Please tell me what to put in tobacco to make 1t sweet, and also how to make it into plug? (2) What is a Belgian two-cent piece of 1S49 worth, and a twenty-five cent greenback?
 A. The blades are stripped from the midribs, and after sprinklins wit inf of fnh made from the stalks and other waste parts, laying them in heaps to ferment. This darkens the color, and while moist and flaccid they are laid smoothly one on another and pressed by powerful machinery till compact and hard. l am not in- formed as to the use of adulterants, if such are used. CD The coin is worthless; the scrip is worth what anybody will pay for it.
 Party-Please give the dates of the beginning of political parties in this country?
 A. The democratic-republican party was formed from the anti-fed- eralists who were opposed to all cen tralizing tendencies in the interpre- tation of the constitution. When the federalists, under Hamilton, disap- peared from the arena there arose the democratic-republican party, commonly called republican, a fac tion called the national republicans This faction later developed into the whig party, while the main body of the party was rechristened democrat ic party under Jackson in 1928, and has since maintained an unbroken existence. The republican party was organized in 1854 and was composed of whigs, free soilers, know-nothings and anti-slavery voters generally.

 ber Denounces Deal With Steel Trust Last October

When the Trust Company of America, New York, was in trouble last October, a representative of the steel trust went to Washington and obtained consent of the administration for the trust to take over its chief competitor, the Tennessee Iron and Coal company, as tine price of aiding the Trust Company of America. It was a combination in restraint of trade, a violation of the Sherman anti trust law.
 Peculiar Proceeding.
 Mir. Shaw thought this peculiar proceeding, as shown by his speech be- fore the National Electric Light asso- ciation, May 23, 1908, when he said: "I have no hesitancy in saying that this is the only first-class country in the world where permission could have been obtained from the executive de- partment of the government Any where else such a request would have been answered, Go consult your law yer.'"

 M. L.-Can a negro be a detective, and if so where is the head office? A. If a man has detective ability I do not think his color would keep him out of a job. Detective agencies frequently advertise in daily papers; addresses are not printed in this column.
 J. H. H.-When, where and by what railroad was Jumbo, the ele- phant, killed?
 A. recall only that he was the victim of a railroad accident, and that the skeleton is in the Smithson- ian institute and the skin, stretched over a wooden frame, is in a Massa- chusetts college.

 J. E. O.-Is journalism a trade, or a profession?
 A. The question is an open one. Franklin called it trade, Bryant deemed it literature Greeley called it evangelism, Raymond said it was polemical, Dana held it to be an art, and to Godkin it was hypercriticism. You may take your choice.

 Mrs B.-Is milk good for the com- plexion, and how should it be used? A. Many people consider it bene- icial. A glass of hot milk slipped before bedtime is not only nutritious and restful, but will help to clear the skin. Bathing the face in milk and letting it dry on is very good for some skins and keeps them smooth and clear.
 H. M. K.-Where do the Slavs come from?
 A. The Slav (Slavonian) is one of a race of people widely scattered in Europe, divided into two sections. The southeastern section comprises Russians, Bulgarians, Serbo-Croa- tions and Slovenes; the western, Poles, Bohemians, Moravians, Slo- vaks, Wends and Kashoubes. J. J. D.-How can scars be remov- ed?

Hospital St. John. of St. Johns,

A later letter received from the same

ralgia.

but is usually prompt and efficient Tor

Of course, it is only reasonable TO

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disinfec-
tant and purifier in nature, but few real
ize its value when taken into the hu-
man syseem for the same cleansing pur-
pose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more

at all, but simply absorbs the gases and
impurities always present in the stom-

of the system.

and other odorous vegetables
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absOrbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels: it
dsinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money is in
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are
composed of the finest powdered willow

on the contrary, great benefit.

benefits of charcoal says: Il advise Stu
