WOMAN CAUSE OF STRIKE.

Coal strikes have sometimes been
threatened on curious grounds. In
1874 a woman was employed as a
messenger at one of the collieries
near Oswestry, England. As she
commenced her days work very
early, she often met the miners on
their way to the pit, and as the men
considered it a bad omen to meet a
woman first thing in the morning,
trouble arose. By threats and per-
suasion they tried to get the Offend
ing female to give up her job, but,
failing in this, they went in a body
to the manager and fatty refused
to go down until 4he woman had
, IN dismissed.

GREAT MEN OF SCIENCE.

In recording the death of Francis
Gallon somewhat less than a year
ago, it was noted here that of the
great men of science who gave dis
tinction to the Victorian T only
three remained-Hooker, Wallace
and Lister. Hooker has since died
at the age of ninety-four years, and
on February II Lister died at the
age of eighty-four years. An Eng
lish journal recently compiled a list
of the ten greatest men of the world,
and Lister would perhaps have been
the name on which there would have
been the most general agreement
Like Gallon and Hooker, Lister had
distinguished scientific ancestry, his
father having been a fellow OF the
Royal society, who, among many
other services, gave us the existing
compound microscope. = Popular

COOKING FISH OUT OF DOORS
Recipe Producing a Delicious Result
Which Could Not Be Surpassed
by Any Chef.

Clean the fish, but do not scale
leave head, tail and fins intact, and
put a small strip Of bacon in each
of them. Dig a hole large enough
for the fish to lie in with several
inches to spare. Build a fire in it
and get a good, hot bed of Goals.
Rake out half of them, cover the
remainder with an inch of grass,
cover with more grass, and pile the
rest of the hot Goals on top. Cover
the hole with a frying pan OF any
other handy thing, as for instance a
fiat stone.
In thirty minutes they will be
cooked, and Delmonico himself
could not make them taste better.
They are partly fried and partly
steamed by the juices of the grass
the bacon. fat has fried out and
permeated the flesh; the grass
juice adds a peculiar and exceeding
ly pleasant flavor, and when taken
from the hole the grass which clings
to the fish can be easily pulled of
and all the scales and skin will come
with it.-Edward G.. W. Ferguson.

NOT MANY REACH 100 YEARS
Real centenarians Are Few in Mum
Der, Despite Claims Of Rela-
tives, Say Authorities.

Centenarians seem to be very much
in evidence. Scarcely a week passes
without the announcement Of the
death of some one who has reached,
exceeded, or was on the border of
five score years. 1t is claimed in
various health statistics that with
the increase of surgical skill and
knowledge, and the more careful at
tention to hygienic matters, count
less lives throughout the country are
prolonged which a decade ago would
inevitably have had to succumb; SO
the extension of this claim Of the
recent progress of the healing art
to the very aged might possibly ac-
count for the great number who are
supposed to have now reached their
hundredth year. The authenticity
of the claims set up by the relations
of so-called centenarians may, how
ever, be doubted, and, in many In
stances, it would be almost impos-
sible to adduce anything approach
ing reasonable proof. The late Sir
George Cornewall Lewis attempted
to show that all reputed centenari-
ans fell short of a hundred years.
Many instances are recorded of per-
sons who have died between the
ages of 1877 and 1876, but there is
little doubt that their span of life
has been greatly exaggerated.
