STRIKE IS ENDED.
Ei Gro Mining Disturbances Settled
 Without More Trouble.

Fl Orc, Tex, Aug. 2.--The strike of miners in this district which be- gan with fatal rioting three days ago, is practically at an end.
 Nearly all of the men from the var ious workings went back to work to- day under substantially better con- ditions than prevailing before the walk out.
 At the Fl Orc mine. where a strong sentiment developed, the men returned in body and asked to be allowed to resume work. The troops will be kept here for q period 1t is said. until danger of further trouble Is past.

REASONABLE.

In 1T47 Mr.. john Brown was in.
v;ted to become the pastor of .
church at bingham. There was but
one opponent to his settlement, q
man whom Mr.. Brown won over by
a stroke Of good hunor. He asked
for the grounds Of his opposition. 81

was the reply ''but your preaching,
sir. I disapprove.' "Thcn," said MI.
Brown, eve are agreed. | do not
like my preaching very we'll myself,
but how great folly it is for you
and me to set up our opinion against
that of the whole parish" The
force OF this reasoning appealed TO
the man. and he at once withdrew

EXAMINATION IN FLOGGlNC.

Quoting from "Student Life in
the Middle Ages" a paper recently
read by c. D. Burns of Bradford,
we learn that in the taking up of a
degree in grammar at some of the
universities the prospective school,
master had to provide himself with q
birch and boy, and as part Of his
examination he had to administer a
flogging TO the boy in public, the
boy being given a groat for his serv-
ices. A large part of the education
lay in debate between the boys, under
the supervision of the master, the
method bringing out the boys rea-
soning powers instead of merely
examining them with facts, as is too
often the method Of today.-Uniyer-
sity Correspondent.

FIND ANCIENT REMAINS.

Interesting discoveries of ancient
remains have been made recently BY
excavations in Parliament square:
Edinburgh, in connection with the
building of the knights Of the This
tie chapel at st. Giles cathedral.
The excavations have brought to
light quantity of human bones,
the explanation Of which is that the
place was at one time burying
place-in fact, at the time the only
burying place in Edinburgh-so that
its antiquity is even older than the
historic burying grounds of Gallon,
Canongate and Greyfriars. It was
here that John Knox was buried.
The remarkable thing about the
bones which have been discovered is
that none of them seem to have been
inclosed in any kind of coffin. They
have probably lain here from 800 to
400 years. A number of coins have
also been found, though they are too
far defaced to be recognizable. All
the articles found become the prop
erty of the crown.

RATS ARE COSTLY vERMIN
Reports Show They Destroy Food and
Material Worth Over SIS, 100000
Each Year in England.

The reports from various East
Anglican (England) districts of pro-
posed immediate official action for
the destruction Of rats show that the
danger of an influx of the vermin to
the country surrounding the scene
of the original warfare in the Or
well peninsula has been fully real
lied.
From reports which the Incorpo-
rated Society for the Destruction of
Vermin collected little while ago
it was shown that in all parts of the
country the number of rats was in
creasing and their damage getting
worse.
"By way of the throat of the rat, -
it was stated. "there is a wastage of
more than $75,0O0,00o worth of
good food ard material per annum. "
The conclusion reached was that
nothing short of concerted national
action would ever be able to solve the
rat problem.

MUST BE ABOVE REPRoAcH
Management Of Bank, to Command
Confidence, Needs Honesty and
Broad Financial Knowledge.

Figures in bank statement mean
absolutely nothing unless the man.
agement of the institution is above
reproach. The average business man,
in consulting a bank statement,
would not imagine that loans, bonds.
securities and circulating notes
could be SO easily iuggled with. That
is, however, according 70 Chalmers
Lowell Pancoast, in The Worlds
Work, an easy matter if the officials
Of the bank are not honest. Chief
among the essentials of a safe bank
Mr.. Pancoast mentions honesty and
a wide experience in financial af-
fairs. With either one Of these quail
tiles lacking, the stability Of the in
stitution is greatly impaired. Natu-
rally, a business man wants to deal
with a banker who has character, yet
at the same time he does not have
confidence in an honest banker I'M
less the man also has wide expert
ence in financial affairs. Honesty
and a broad financial knowledge
must go hand in hand; banker
must be partner to business man
in every way possible.

EFFEcTs or coLoRs.

DR.. Ponza, director of the lunatic
asylum at Alessandria, Italy, has
cured many of his insane patients
by combining them in rooms of some
uniform color. Patients suffering
from acute melancholia have become
cheerful after confinement in a red
room. But some forms of life are
adversely affected by certain colors:
It has been observed, for instance,
that flies and other insects do not
flourish or arc killed outright by the
light which comes through blue
glass or blue gauze.

TIE 70 FORGET BIRTHDAYS
After All, Why Should One Be Re-

Cruel Timer

After youth has passed, birthdays
should be overlooked, save about
once III ten years. Every ten years
It is decent to have a birthday. It is
bad form to mention age, as that is
something to be politely ignored,
md people who always announce
their coming anniversary get the
credit of holding up their friends,
which is neither pretty nor nice
from an impartial standpoint. You
VIII be told by dear Matilda that
she is TO celebrate her birthday next
week. "Why, dear me, Matilda, how
old are you?" "Oh," says Matilda,
Owe reached the time when l don't
know" "Then, for goodness sake,
don't n-ention it." On the other
hand, the morning mail contains
gentle reminder that an old friend
will be so and SO next Wednesday,
and how we'll she remembers the
lovely flowers sent her on previous
occasion aad the felicitous note ac-
companying them! What a short
year! Are those flowers paid for?-
you wonder, though, Of course, Trey
must be, else there would have been
trouble. And now here is another
birthday "to be rcme.nbercd!" Ger
tainly there should be no "birth.

MAKES WHEAT GROW RAPIDLY.

Farmers everywhere will be inter-

of English men of science, who have
found process of treating or vital
izing wheat in advance of sowing so
that it grows much more rapidly.
The process itself has not yet been

when the wheat is so treated two
crops year are possible on the same
field. The grain is planted in the
ordinary way as regards soil and cul-

Dear reader, how many trees have
you planted this winter? Everybody
should strive to have trees, as nothing
is more pleasing than nice green trees
and so many are destroyed every year
especially during the twp weeks be-
fore Christmas. We read that our
evergreen trees are rapidly decress-
ing in number and lumber for useful
purposes increasing steadily in price
and that this condition Is due to con-
Siderable extent, to the demand for
small trees, of which more than q
million are annually brought into
New York; til say nothing of other
large Cities. 1t seems wicked to cut
down tree that has spent so many
years growing, just for the enjoyment
of one evening and after Christmas
eve has passed and the little trees are
thrown out to dry Of. be carried away
by the ash cart-it is even worse.
Does that sound non-sensical? Per-
haps 1t is, but love to see green trees
and II we keep on destroying them and
never plant new ones, then how sad it
would be without trees. You are
right Fan.-EDIroR.
