Ministers Take Hand.

Grand Rapids. Mich, Dec. s.
The newspapers and other sources
of information are being flooded
with the story that the strike of the
copper miners is over. This Is far
from the truth. The strike is so
much alive that the Ministers AS
sociation of Lansing at a recent
meeting adopted set of resolutions
in which the governor of the state
is called upon to appoint commis
sion for the purpose of making an
investigation of the issues involved
in the contest, and that the facts
be given to the p Iblic. One sec
tion of the resolutions says: 1--WE
believe any person or persons who
refuses 10 submit TO the principle
of arbitration in dispute thereby
raises suspicion against their own
case. We believe no body of men
would continue to held out as the
Miners are doing in the face of ap-
preaching winter and through
much suffering, unless they believe
they have a great grievance which
should be righted. 1t is evident
that at least portion of the people
of the rtate of Michigan are of the
opinion that the action of the cop
per operators is not one to be
commended but rather to be con-
demned.

WHEN THE EARTH QUAKES.
Stresses and Strains to Which Our
Globe is Subjected.

Stresses and Strains to Which Our
Globe Is Subjected.
When the stairs creak and the furni-
ture gives out mysterious cracking
sounds at night we sometimes sit up In
bed and wonder If there is a burglar
about, but 1t doesn't occur to us that
what we hear is really an earthquake
on small scale The night air has
caused the wood to contract with a
snap, thus accounting for the alarming
sounds. This is just exactly what the
earth is doing periodically. To mi
crobe, reposing on the polished sur
face of the table, this disturbance is
probably as violent as an earthquake
is to a human being.
An earthquake Is terrible thing. II
comes without warning 1t is over be-
fore one knows which way to fly. and
its fury can be abated by no man.
Yet to the geologist earthquakes are
only symptoms. They are not causes
so much as results results of great
stresses and strains within the earth
that cause slippings and slidings from
time to time. If the rocks on the shell
of the earth slip and CRATE against
each other so much as an inch along a
assure ten miles in length shiyer is
felt A slip of fifteen feet along a
course of 200 miles sufiiced to bring
about the terrible San Francisco earth
quake and fire.
These strains and stresses accumulate
steadily within the earth. The point
at which they have once found relief Is
weaker to resist the next strain. 1t
slips again presently. BY successive
movements its sides become more and
more displaced Rock layers. mineral
veins, coal seams that cross the line of
displacement, are logged out of their
course. So are roads, fence lines and
brooks that run across 1t on the sur
face. In the San Francisco quake one
mans front yard was moved twenty
feet to one side of his house, and in
another place the slip line came so
close to a mans barn that some piles
of straw. thrown out from the win
dows, were carried away. In Japan a
cliff twelve feet high interrupted road
way, and thousands of similar cases
might be cited. These were primary
movements along the line OF the dis
turbance that caused the earthquakes.

BRITISH GROUSE HUNTERS.

pose than to see him This business
will not take more than half an hour
of his time, and then I'm off for home

Il should advise against your going
to his home, sir. He would not receive
anybody at this time He will attend

But the New Yorker thought differ

him at the door. To him the New

Mission of the Russian Fleets.

A Russian fleet under command OF
Admiral Lesotfsky lay in New York
harbor during the winter of 1864,
and another was In San Francisco
harbor for the same period. Thurlow
Weed is authority for the statement
that Farragut in his presence at din
ner asked Lesotfsky why he was idling
the winter away. The Russian an
swered, Il am here under sealed or
ders, to be broken only in a contir-
gency that has not yet occurred" In
general conversation he allowed it to
appear that the particular contingency
was that foreign power should at
tack the United States. The same au-
thority records a confirmation of this
matter by Prince Gortschakoff In st.
Petersburg, who showed the Gar

How do you eat an egg?

every nationality has some especial
way of cooking and serving eggs for
breakfast. and, quite unconsciousls,

Americans are said 70 prefer poachei
eggs. The foreigner when travelling

American could have given the order
Hard boiled eggs, served whole, are
another American dish. and "deviled

various condiments, is strictly Ameri-

mon in America than elsewhere
Hard boiled eggs are eaten in Ger
many, too, but they are usually pre-
pared in glass, chopped with butter,
salt and pepper. The German likes
his soft boiled eggs very soft, indeed,
and breaks the contents into china
cup, eating them from the cup. The
"egg cup" is an invention Of Germany,
but the German cups are large enough
to contain several eggs. "Sour eggs"
are eaten in Germany too.
The average Englishman likes his
egg boiled for three and a half min
utes, no more and no less He is par
ticular about the time. He prefers
small egg cup that holds one egg, the
shell Of which is not removed. The
Englishman then removes the top Of
the shell. Bread and butter, instead
Of the toast of the American, is eaten
with the Englishman's eggs.
The Frenchman removes the top of
his egg, too, but then he stirs the con-
tents vigorously and adds bits of bread
and butter to the egg Sometimes
squares of bread are dipped into the
egg.
No Spaniard would dream Of letting
an egg boil three minutes that is, If

OF the bill finally would be adopted with
but few changes. The question of bind
ing the democrats to support the confer
ence bill as party measure has not yet
been taken up, but 1t is expected that a
binding resolution will be presented after
! the bill has been completed
The democratic conference defeated a
proposal to broaden the redemption fea-
lures of the new currency bill SO that
the proposed treasury notes would be
redeemable at the United States treasury
In lawful money" The committee had
recommended that the final redemption
be limited strictly to gold and after
lengthy debate tonight. this position was
upheld by the conference. The bill as
now agreed to permits a note to be re-
deemable In either gold or lawful money
at the regional banks, bit in gold only
at the treasury.
A change was agreed in the form of
the owen bill which would make the new
treasury notes acceptable for the pay
ment of customs duties. This was op-
posed by the committee that drafted the
bill on the ground that the cutsoms re-
ceipts furnished one certain method of
getting gold in time of need for the use
of the treasury.
Rapid progress was made on the bill
tonight and democratic senators confi-
