thoughtless cruelty to expose the ten

zofn, or witch hazel be used. A good
way is to taste it; if it stings the

What of the Labor disputes that
have been on or threatening recently
have now cleared away, even the New

trade dispute which involved nearly
1000 Operatives and might have in

closed with a tentative agreement ar
rived at by the Cancellation Board.
This arranged that all disputes in fu-

six months notice in witing of any
proposed alteration shall be given and
required by either side.

The Miners Federation Of Great
Britain is sitting in London just now
to discuss the amendment of the Mines
Eight Hours Act. The chief business
is a proposal to legalize an earlier
start of work on Saturdays, so as to
admit of the miners getting finished
earlier in the afternoon than at pres
ent. 1t is pointed out that with the
Introduction of the overlapping shift
system in South Wales, as provided
for in the agreement recently signed
by both parties, the shift commencing
at nine o'clock each morning cannot Of
course start earlier on Saturdays, the
stopping time bieng therefore five

ment. This is considered to be unduly
late for a Saturday, and change is
desired. The miners of the various
districts of Scotland are ayerse to the
proposals. There is likely to be asug-
gestion made ON behalf of the Scot
fish representatives that, as the whole
subject is difficult one to ascertain

upon, the Federation should consult.

Millions Spent To

Nearly Ten Millions Paid Out by

In the Cigar Makers Official Jour

of the amounts of money paid in bene-

during the last 80 years, says the Min
nesota Union Advocate. The amount

Another most gratifying fact shown

Prickly Heat and Mosquito Bites.

Just at the present time prickly
heat and mosquito bites cause great
annoyance to the baby. Chatting es-
pecially is a trouble that makes the
little one restless and irritable. 1t &C.
ours usually when two moist surfaces
are constantly rubbing against each
other, as, for instance, in the thighs
and groins, in the folds of plump lit,
tie neck, in the armpits and behind
the knees. Sometimes the chatting Is
really very severe and the flesh looks
almost raw. The best preventive is alb
solute and scrupulous cleanliness, but
even this sometimes fails.

London, June 24.-An air of mys- tery surrounds the postponement of the wedding of the beautiful Dorothy Deacon and Prince Antoine Albert Radziwill which was to have taken place in St Mary's church.
