Among old time laws against kissing those of Iceland appear to have been the most severe. Punishment was the penalty laid down for kissing another mans wife. either with or without her consent. The same punishment was enforced for Kissing an unmarried wo- man against her will: if 1t could be proved that she had consented to be kissed the offender was still liable to . fine of a great quantity of cloth for 0och Offense.

The Ladies' Tailors have declared
their strike off. 1t affected several OF
the firms that make tailored clothes for
women. The strike is lost. 1t has been
in the hands of w. T. Hickey, secretary
of the State Federation of Labor. The
Ladies' Tailors made demands for the
eight-hour day previous to going on the
summer vacation, and when the fall
season opened they found themselves
locked out. All of the members that
could get their places back have returned

blacklisted. The trade will be thoroughly
organized in Denver when an effort along
different lines will be made to accom-
plish the result sought.

A WONDERFUL INVESTMENT.

ashington-Workmen in Glovers-
vile, ~ Y, and Fort Worth, Texas, have
discovered a marvellous investment OPP
portunity. In both cities they are mem
bers of the Brotherhood of Painters, Dec
orators and Paperhangers.
They have just received an increase
in wages of so cents a day, and they got
it through the medium of their labor or
ganization.
An increase of so cents a day amounts
to S149.50 a year, after deducting So Sun
days and IA days for holidays. The men
who secured this handsome increase pay
5000 a year into the union. The union
investment of $500 will earn $149.50-
2,491 per cent. interest.
With previous increases in wages and
reductions in the hours of labor con-
servative estimate will bring the interest
up to 1882 per cent.
Every worker in the country has an
opportunity to invest in an equally prof
liable manner.

The Junkman of the Sea.


The carrier snail is to the sea what
the junkman is to the land. It receives
its name from it's habit of carrying for.
eign objects on its back. Nothing
comes amiss to the carrier snail If it
is not too big. CASTOR shells of small
molluscs, bits Of broken coral, tiny
stones, and even fragments of broken
glass dropped overheard from passing
vessels are cemented firmly to the
edges of the growing shell. Nor is it
satisfied when the she'll Is completely
covered. but continues to add to its col.
lection by fastening new pieces to the
old ones already piled upon its back
until it is no longer able to move be-
meath It's burden.
AS it is an inhabitant of tropical wa.
ters swarming with ~voracious fish.
crabs. etc, there is method in its mad
ness; it's hungry enemies pass 1t by un-
able to distinguish it from the rocks
and shells on the sea bottom Some of
the snails show preference for tiny
pebbles all of one shape aud equal
size, others accumulate only shells OF
one kind, and one picked up OF tho
coast of Japan had It's portable house
entirely rooted with glass.
