BREW THAT STARTED STRIKE
Fearful Connection Responsible for
Trouble Among Women of Cigar
Factory.

There never was such strike as
that of the 100 women employed in
cigar factory just across the river
from New York. All Hungarians, they
are as husky as catamounts and have
the same regard for the sacredness of
human life that polar bear shows.
None of them can speak English and
no one dares to get close enough to
them either to find out what their de-
mands are or to tell them that they
have been accepted. All any one
knows is that they are on strike and
likely to stay so. The proprietors of
the factory are said to be considering
the wisdom of starting another fac
tory in San Francisco and letting the
strikers take this one apart, if they
want to.
The strike started when some in
spired idiot at Hungarian wedding
built a concoction to which he gave
in HunlSy-the name of lightning
conductor" Local tradition holds
that this brew is composed of gin. or
ange bitters, svenska punch, beer, new
rum, all mixed in tin washtub with
roast apples floating in it, That recipe
may not be absolutely accurate, but
whatever the lightning conductor is
made of, the results were always the
same, says the New York correspond
ent of the Cincinnati Times-Star.

strike of cigar rollers seemed almost
ridiculously easy.
The 100 amazons that once rolled

every avenue of approach to that

Farming in Eqypt.

A sailor on board the Rhode Island
on the trip of the battleship fleet
around the world last year wrote
from Egypt describing graphically the
wonders of the pyramids and other
interesting things in that country. OF
the farming there he says:
From the statue of Rameses the
Great we went for long ride over
the splendidly irrigated land to the
tombs. The farming land was quite
a sight.
They have brought corn from the
United States and raise it here in
great quantities. They also raise fine
wheat, clover. cabbages, lettuce and
nearly all vegetables.
did you ever see an Egyptian pillow
in museum? They use that kind
here now. AS rule they are drawn
by bullocks, but saw them blowing
with camels, bulls, bull and camel
and also by hand.
1T was a strange sight. Quite diff
ferent from the riding gang pillow they
use at home"

Nerve Timing.

An Eclipse Of The \ Don Saturday Night.

There will be an eclipse of the
moon on Saturday night Novem-
Der 9th, OF more than passing
Interest and alth ugh 1t has chosen
a most announcement hour for it's
APPEARANCE there will be many
who will put selves to the
necessary inc vaLlenc" Of stay.
Jag mp a greater portl": Of the
night, or getting up at verJ ua
usual hour, in ordor to witness ii.
and taking into consideration the
fact that we drn't usually 20 to
bed very early : .turday nigh, we
can use the ecllpse as all excuse
for not getting up in time for
church on Sunday morning, we
expect a good many will witness
it. We don't think that staying
up will matter much, if all could
have their sweet hearts with
them.
The New Berne Journal soien-
list gives this advance lnforma-
ton of the coming event: THE
noon will enter the earth's pc
numbra at l IL a. m eastern
standard time, and will first reach
the full shadow of the earth at
2.11 a. m. At 3.14 a. m, she will
disappear completely i'll it and
will not begin to emerge until
a. m This is an unusually
long duration, due to the fact
that the moon will g almost cen
trally through the earth shadow.
which itself will lie larger than
usual, the moon being near the
earth At 5 50 a. m. the moon
will finally leave the shadow and
at 6 80 will get clear Of the pehum-
bra and eclipse will be over"
For the benefit of those who
may not have a dictionary handy
it may be said that penumbra
mentioned isn't a vehicle, as
might be supposed, but a partial
shadow shadow cast in an
eclipse where the light is partly
but not wholly cut off by the in.
