PLAYS
WITH BIG
SNAKE

Ellen Carlson, who lives at 1897
South Washington street, is only
10, but she isn't afraid of snakes.
Nineteen months, that is, not
years.
Yesterday afternoon, Ellen's
mother, Mrs. Oscar Carlson, had
left her playing out in the back
yard. Mrs. Carlson came out a
few minutes later to find the baby
playing very contentedly with a
big snake nearly three feet long.
The child was cooling and smil-
ing.
Mrs. Carlson screamed for
help, and neighbors killed the
snake. 1t was black with green
stripes.

| CBy United Press Leased Wire.)
| LIVERPOOL, June 1.-THE
first real pinch of the proposed In
lternational seamen's strike was
felt by shipowners here today. The
crews of the liners Empress of Ire
land and the White Stars big Teu-
tonic have abandoned these ves-
sells. and they were unable to sail
on their regular schedule. That
the failure of these big passenger
steamers to leave port is an indica-
tion of the fate of numerous other
vessels Is the assertion of the
strikers.
AS fast as the liners come In,
they allege, their crews will strike
and leave them helpless.
| Steamship officials are prepar-
ing to hurry strikebreakers here.
Members Of the union are not OPP
posing the move. They say 1t
will demonstrate the fact that
the ship owners are helpless.
Plans Carefully Laid.
The strike is the elimination OF
a plan made months ago. The
unions made the following de-
mands. A conciliation board:
minimum wage scale; abolition of
the medical examination by the
contract doctors of the shipping
federation; payment of portion
| of the round trip wage at the port
of call marking the first half of
the voyage; representation by the
union at the signing of new men;
fixed hours of labor; payment of
Overtime; improved forecastle ac-
commodations and better food.
LIVERPOOL, June IA. - A
number of big ship-owning firms
today advised the strikers that
they were willir&- to receive the
unions committee and discuss a
settlement. The strikers are
jubilant. Heretofore the ship
owners have refused to treat.
ANTWERP, June IA con-
ference was held here today be-
tween representatives of the sea-
men and shipowners and the Bur-
gomaster of Antwerp in an effort
to reach a settlement of the sea-
mems strike. The result of the
conference has not yet been an
nounced.
No Tie-Up Here
Local longshoremen say they
have not received any orders that
look like tying up business at
this port as result of the sea-

ASBESTOS.

The total production of asbestos in
the United States for 1910 was the
greatest yet recorded, 6,693 tons.
This was an increase of 90 per cent.
in quantity over the production Of
1909. The United States has long
held first place as a manufacturer Of
asbestos goods, but the raw material
for that purpose was freely drawn
from Canada, at present the chief
source of the worlds supply. Georgia
and Vermont are our chief asbestos
producers, the former of amphibole
and the latter of chrysolite varieties,
the latter being reported by manu-
facturers to compare favorsbly with
that from Canada. The production
in Wyoming and Idaho has advanced
but in those states the industry Is
still in the development stage and
has not become permanently estab-
lished.

ALL THIS FROM ARGENTINA.

Argentina is the greatest ex-
porter of corn in the world; she
sends abroad more chilled and frozen
meat than any other country. Only
Russia excels her in wheat exports,
and only Australia contributes more
wool to international trade. The sto-
ry of her occupations is told in the
fact that nearly $4,5OO,0OO,OOO of
working capital is represented
in the pastoral and agricultural pur-
suits and in the allied industries
while less than $1OO,OOO,OOO is in

THE TEA DRINKERS.

20 ..
The chronic tea drinkers of this
country are generally the kitchen
girls and women who remain in the
kitchen and in the house a great
deal. The teapot is constantly on
the stove and the strong stale brew
full of tannic acid and bitter extrac-
tives is poured into the stomach at
frequent intervals. Here we get
not only the stimulation of the caf-
fein, but the irritation of the tannin
derivatives on the stomach mucous
membrane. The sooner or later re-
suit is sleeplessness, and irritable
fretty disposition, nervous dyspepsia,
or even gastritis, and constipation
OF course, the treatment is to stop
the cause, treat the insomnia, dys-
pepsia and constipation, and give
fresh air. Tea tasters show earlier
than other individuals decay of the
teeth. Children up to IS years
should not drink coffee or tea regu-
larly.-Journal OF the American

Breisch struck the snake with a heavy

only after a hard fight that it was
