The mill owners agreed to give them a 5 per cent. raise. About 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon the em- ployes, numbering about 100, walked out of the mill. James H. Ross of Willimantic, proprietor of the mills, when talked with Saturday, said that he expected the employees would re- turn to work. This is the first time in many years that the employees have gone on a strike. Presumably the affair will be settled.

There will also be living quarters for the 4horsemen.. Architect DarFach also brought along another set of plans for the Booth -Dimeck Memorial Li- brary at South Coventry. The original plans were most admirable, but the aSuiading committee of the library as- sociation felt that the building would cost too much money and there would not be enough of the $40, GOO bequest to meet the expense of maintaining the building. MT. Darrach according ly prepared another set of plans. These embrace the same ideas as the original building plans, but the differ ence is in the size. He has made the building smaller, and it is believed now that the contractors can erect such building for about what the committee is willing to spend. Dr. INV. l.. Higgins of the library building committee says that extra plans and specifications will be received by the committee next week for contractor to bid on. It is expected that the Econtract will be awarded by May I.

Pennsylvania Froo Hunters.

All the sport is not found in angling
for the gamy bass or speckled trout.
The frog season is now open and If
there is any sport that requires skill
it is catching frogs. says the Susque-
hanna Transcript.
There was a-time when the twilight
soloists were taken any time during
the year. but since frogs were discov-
cred to be of benefit to mankind, not
only as a food product but because
they kill embryo mosquitoes, 1t was de-
cided to have laws protecting them.
The frog season will end Nov. 80.
Nets are now being prepared, lamps
put in shape, gum boots tested to see
where mouse or time has worn holes
through the rubber, and after dusk,
frog hunters throughout the surround
ing rural district Will be seen vending
their way to the favorite frog pond or
stream.
Those who go for sport spend one
or two nights a week in search Of the
greenbacks. and those who make liv-
ing by selling them to restaurants.
cafes. hotels and families rarely miss
a night This is especially the case
at the start of the season.
Veteran frog hunters do not reveal
their favorite places. There are many
who have been going for years, and
even their closest friends do not know
where they make the large catches.

BRIDGES OF THE INDIANS
Structures Found In North British Co
IumbIa Are Built on the Can't
lever Principle.

Some interesting examples of In.
dian ingenuity are Afforded on the
River Skeena and its tributaries in
North British Columbia, according to
writer in Scientific American. These
waterways in their upper reaches flow
swiftly and for the most part through
deep ravines. AS it is impossible for
the Indians to cross them by means
of canoes they have resorted to bridg-
ing.
Their bridges are interesting struc-
lures from the engineering point Of
view, inasmuch as the cantilever prin-
ciple is adopted. A bridge of this de-
sign spans the Buckley river where
it is about 120 feet wide, and the
height from the bridge to the water
level is about 80 feet.
1t is built of wooden logs, the logs
of the structure being formed Of single
stout logs varying from 60 to 80 feet in
length. The task of lowering them
into position must have demanded con-
siderable ingenuity on the part of the
builders.
They are buried some Is feet at
thstr lower ends and anchored by the
superimpOsition of masses of large
rock rolled and carried to the site. The
longitudinal members of the shore
spans are similarly buried in the
ground and dashed to the ends of the
diagonal logs.
These main members-correspon
ing to deck Orders, are about 120 feet
in length, and to either end the A
members of the superstructure are
dashed. Elaborate cross bracing Is
resorted to in order to secure greater
strength.
When the bridge was first erected
the different members were simply
secured together by willow thongs,
but when the British Columbian gov
eminent erected a more substantial
suspension bridge lower down the
river the Indians assembled and fol-
lowed the white mans operations with
great interest They observed how
the thick wire cables were slung and
anchored, and accordingly decided to
introduce wire into their own struc-
ture.
They procured the material for this

ner. Also when the Grand Trunk
Pacific railway engineers commenced
working on their track near by the
Indians procured odds and ends, such
as bolts and spikes, from them for
introduction in their bridge, so that
now 1t is a strange looking piece of
work, though the fundamental canti-
lever lines are still distinct.

Estimate Cost of Living.

The official bankruptcy depart.
ment at Zurich, Switzerland, has just
prepared, after careful study, a min
imum wage tariff for both sexes. 1t
is curious documents, attempting to
prove what are the lowest sums upon
which persons can live. The follow
ing are some of the tariffs per month
which are considered absolutely nec-
essary: Single men, $40; single wom-
en-, SIPS; married couple without
children, 1882; with children up to
six years of age, an increase of $1.44
per month for each child; children up
to fourteen years, $1.92; and up to
twenty years, $3.42 each per month.
In this minimum official list are in
cluded life and illness insurance and
doctors fees.
