Strike a Failure,

Paris, May J8.-Iu the hope of guard
ing against future disturbances among
state employees, the government today
began drafting statute granting Its
employees the right to form beneficial
associations, but denying them the right
to strike or confederating themselves
with civil unions. The passage OF the
measure, when completed, is practically
assured.
The postmen's and telgraphers' strike
is dead as 8 result of the failure of the
general federation OF labor to order a
general strike aud the withdrawal OF
support by number of unions which
offered their aid Independently. Both
the postal and Geographic service, how
ever, is suffering from the hsrassiDg
tactics employed by the remaining
strikers. Wires are still being cut
everywhere ADD The letters are being
destroyed IN tas msil boxes. The reg
ular delivery Of printed matter was
resumed todsy . : the postal service, as
far az facilities for handling the mails is
concerned. is seain normal.
Paris, May ia general strike may
be declared in Paris this afternoon.
Eighty-six syndicates, or unions, voted
at noon today in favor OF joining with
the striking postmen and telegrspher.
The membership of these unions, nun. :
bering thousands, is now awaiting the
word to wslk0out. The noon vote was
almost 3 complete reversal of the sent.
iment earlier in the day, when itlwas au-
nOunced todsy that no support would be
given the postmeu and the telegrspbers
vt this time. The chance is due, it is
believed, to the activity Of The revolu-
uonary movement or "secret twelve"
which has been laboring with the Gen.
ersl Federation OF Labor to have 1t come
out openly aud declare gen eral strike.

Natural Kindness.

1t was at railroad junction in the
South that the Northern traveller
found himself hungry, but with only
two minutes to spare before his train
left. "I'll take cup of coffee" he
said to the young woman in charge
of the restaurant. "I've no time for
anything else."
"You can take all the time you
want, sir" said the young woman,
cordially. "You look at this bill of
fare and I'll telephone the superin-
tendent to delay the train a little
while"
"Why, can that be done?" asked
the traveller, in amazement.
Certainly" said the young woman.
"Of course it can. It's branch road
and no other train coming or going
over 1t to-day-and the superin-
tendent would want you to have a
good meal. He owns this restaurant. 4"

WALLETS FOR ALL AT OXFORD.
Life Easy at the English University,
Says a Student From Missouri.

Morrison Beall Giffen, at the Uni
versity of Missouri last year and now
a Rhodes scholar at Oxford, has writ
ten letter to the head of the Co.'S
mopolitan Club in Columbia, of which
ne was a charter member and the
first chairman.
Mr.. Giffen says that during the last
two months he has been kept busy
preparing for an examination which
he must take before the Christmas
holidays.
Oxford has a peculiar system of
examination. There are three EXAM
nations only during the entire
course, one for entrance, one in the
middle of the course and one at the
end.
Life is very easy at Oxford-per-
haps too easy-thinks Giffen. There
are servants for everything. A days
program begins at 7.30 o'clock in the
morning, when servant wakes the
student and gets his bath ready.
Breakfast is brought into the room
at $50 O'Clock.
From 8 o'clock to noon the student
is supposed to study. At 1 o'clock
light lunch is brought into his room.
At o'clock he goes out for physical
exercise and may not return until
about 5. Then comes the afternoon
tea, to which one usually invites
friend.
Dinner is served at o'clock in the
common dining room, where students
and teachers dine together. The place
in which Giffen has dinner is q big
fine room with high ceiling. The
sides are panelled in oak and hung
with the portraits of ancient bene-
factors of the college. The silver

Inhabitants Of Venus, II there are

to establish units of time. Venus al
