BAKERS WIN VICTORY.

Washington, May 25.-Reports from
New York confirm the fact that the
bakers, who have been on strike for
some time, have Won complete victory
in their contest to better their condi.
tions and unionize the bakeries of the
East Side. The unions treasury is ST..
500 larger than when the strike began
for the reason that many fines have been
covered into the treasury as a result OF
the settlement.

Teeth Brushed to Music.

An esteemed correspondent writing
to the Cleveland Plain Dealer adds a
testimonial to the efficacy of the
brush-your-teethto-m idea. He
says: 1--WE are not Wagnerian at our
home, having more regard for the tenn
DO than for the chromatic blendings
When my two boys and my girl brush
their teeth the accompaniment is that
jigging air called The Turkey and the
Straw One of the children whistles
the air and the others brush. The
child who whistles accompanies him
self with two blocks Of wood covered
with sandpaper, and the wishy-swishy
noise produced By this simple .nstru
ment sets the brushes going furiously
My only fear is that the kids will
wear their teeth down to the nerve
Accept this as a modest boost for the
cause of dental sanitation"

COUNTRY OF GIANT MELONS
SuccuIent Fruit Grows to Enormous
Size In Certain Portions Of
Turkish Empire.

Both the water and musk melon Of
Diarbekir are the largest I have ever
seen. Watermelons grow In Diarbekir
each az large as a -four barrel. and
-muskmelons, but little smaller, only
the muskmelon 10 rounder. like a
pumpkin.
These melons are raised IN the bed
of the Tigris. as after the spring rains
are over and the SHOWS have melted
from the mountains the river sfrinks
&c comparative issignificence. and
large tracts Of the bottom land are
thus exposed.
This land rs plowed, and IN each
hill where the seeds are planted a
quantity Of pigeon manure Is mixed IN
with the earth. There are people In
Diarbekir engaged in breeding pigeons
for no other purpose than to sell the
manure to the melon growers. ~
As the melons are growing oyer the
moist soil of what was q river for SIX
months of the year. no irrigation is
necessary and. though It seldom rains
during the summer. the melon vines
never dry up. The meat Of these wa.
ter and musk melons is. however.
very coarse and not nearly as sweet
as the melons of smaller varieties In
other districts Of this country.--Con-

VAST LAKE OF SOLID SODA
Remarkable Discovery at Lake Masadl
In East AfrIea-Mystery 10
Cleared Up.

Wonderful as have been the reports
Of the vast soda deposit at Lake Ma
gadi In East Africa, the tendency
hitherto has been to deem the stories
fantastic. Now. however. the mystery
Ia cleared up by the report Of an expe-
dition which penetrated quite to the
interior of Britafn's remote possession
as far, indeed, as Is miles from the
frontier Of German East Africa. The
ascertained facts, according to the
Chemical News, are more surprising
than the first reports- What, In the
case Of an ordinary lake. would be
water consists at Magadi Of solid
deposit Of soda. with q hard surface
looking like pink marble. During the
wet season-which In this region is
very short-the surface Is covered
with a few inches Of water. Immedi-
ately after the cessation OF the rains
the whole OF the surface becomes dry
with the exception Of a margin about
80 yards wide. Even during the wet
season the amount of water on the
surface in no way renders imprac-
ticable the working Of the deposit. For
many years Indians" from Nairobi,
who use this soda for washing pur-
poses and as snuff, have been remov-
ing It from the lake without regard to
the season.-Current Literature.

provided three public stenographers

"She is no more efficient than those
other girls" he said, but nobody will
get good work out Of them today be
cause two workmen were killed this
morning in the building next door. All
the men working in the new building
have gone home for the day; that is q
rule of the trades, and IL might just
about as well be made a rule in the
neighboring Offices, for the clerks
who see and hear about the accident
are never fit for much the rest Of the
day. There is no danger attached to
their Jobs. but the accident gives every
stenographer and typewriter in the

Sleeplna Potion.

A woman who suffered much from
sleeplessness was relieved by the
strong odor of mint breathed each
night.
The remedy was one of those old
wife cures that are often. effective,
and was brought 10 the sleepless ones
notice by a clever friend who sent a
bottle Of strong essence Of mint, a
small sponge and daintily embroi
dered lawn bag TO hold the saturated
sponge.
The bag had a spray Of mint leaves
done in colors on one side. and on the
other Sweet sleep" Through a cas-
ing at the top were drawn narrow
green ribbons that could be hung over
the head Of the bed at night
The odor of the mint proved sooth
ing. and gradually the sleeping habit
returned.

Warning Before Command.

command Instead of saying, Now II

nearly time to go to bed Finish your
house first, and then put away your

were fully prepared to go, and there
was consequently no begging nor temp
tation for me to show my lack of
firmness by being persuaded to allow
them to build 'just one more house"

the 5000 vacant houses were in use
again and 10000 new ones had been
built and occupied. A prominent al
derman said, If we never get back
pound of the principal or receive
shilling in interest, the city of Man
chseter has already had benefits four
fold greater than the expenditure.
Two or three instances will show the
extraordinary effect of the canal upon
freight rates. On one cargo Of 12,462
bales of cotton the saving, as COM
pared to former rates, was $l2,945.
On miscellaneous cargo weighing g.
ST. tons, delivered directly at Man
chester from New York, the saving
was no less than $33,845. The great
Cooperative Wholesale Society sub
scribed for 100000 worth Of stock, and
the entire amount was returned in q
little over eight months through re-
duced freight rates. AS they have
been continuously enjoying the same
benefits ever since 1t would seem to
make very little difference whether
their stock pays any dividends or not.
Either the sea must be brought to
Birmingham or the industries of Biz
mingham will go to the sea. This does
not necessarily mean the construction
of a canal large enough to allow ocean
vessels to come to Birmingham. A
thoroughly modern and completely
euuipped barge canal will solve the
problem and make the position Of Biz
mingham secure. The British royal
commission on canals and inland naVi-
cation has recommended the construc-
ton of such canals from London to
Liverpool. and from Bristol to Hull.
This canal system would lie across the
Midlands like gigantic letter \, with
Birmingham at the point where the
two arms cross. Unless this project Is
speedily taken up by the government,
Birmingham must take hold OF the sit
uation with a strong hand. She will
find that she must invest much more
than 100000 and with Manchester's
example before her 1t is evident that
she can we'll afford to do so.
Birmingham has shown no lack OF
energy in the past. In 1875 she paid
IS, OO0. 600 for property occupied by I'M
sanitary buildings and swept them out
of existence. She filled up 5000 wells,
bought the waterwOrks for S6,00o,0O0
and later brought new supply eighty
Miles from the mountains of Wales at
q cost Of $780, 900. She paid S1O.-
600 600 for the gas works In 1875, mu-
nfcipalized the electric works in 1889,
and bought out and owns her street
RAILWAYS although they are leased TO
a rriyate company for operation.
