Greek Strike Breakers.

Sioux City, Iowa, June 81
The union Bridge Workers employ
ed on the new bridge of the North
western Railroad at Mondamin,
Iowa, are on strike against a re
duction in wages, and their places
have been filled by Greek laborers.
The iron workers struck against a
reduction of 25 cents a day. It is
stated that Greek laborers are in
competent in bridge constr ction,
and this fact may account for the
number of railroad fatilities from
wrecks on all roads where Greek
labor is employed. The numerous
wrecks from broken bridges and
defective ties on the Northwestern
Railroad curing the past year is
alledged to be the direct result of
the employment of Greek labor.

Machinists Get Shorter Day

Toledo, June 27.-The Union
Leader, the local labor paper, says:
What proved to be the most
unique Toledo trade movement
came to close last Thursday, when
the Warner Company's machinists
declared their strike off, after the
plant had been put on fifty hour
week basis. The machinists walk
ed out April 3 to enforce a nine
hour day The management re
fused to consider the question or
even discuss the matter with the
committee and announced that
conditions were satisfactory in the
plant, and the ten-hour day and
Saturday half holiday would not be
changed. When the Overland and
Kinsey plants voluntarily declared
for a 6fty-hour week the Warner
Company followed. The reduction
to the fifty hour week was greater
reduction than the macbinists had
asked for, and consequently they
Immediately called off the strike.
1t was also limited that the big
Overland plant, which formerly
supplied the Warner Company with
large orders, was put in symprthy
with the compauy's refusal to
accede the shorter workday. 1t
will be seen that combination of
circumstances operated to assist the
machinists in securing more than
they had demanded.

Travnlinn Sand Ellis.

On the coast of Pomerania there are
large tracts of sand heaped up by the
wind, hundreds Of yards in breadth
and from 60 to 100 feet high. and
these hills, propelled by the wind,
move steadily in an easterly direction
The speed Mt which these great hills
travel is from thirty-nlne to fifty-six
feet a year. Pine woods. which some
times come in their line of march, can
not stop them and are completely de
stroyed The branches are rotted off
by the sand. and nothing is left of the
tree but the bare stems, which after
a few years wither and die.

NAPOLEON'S ARMY EAGLES.
They Were Patterned After the An

custom in armies /" carry huge IN.

while they afforded rallying point for
their corps. also drew the enemys SIRE.
1t remained for Napoleon to revive the
ancient symbol of the Caesars.
At first an eagle was presented TO
every battalion OF infantry and every
squadron of horse But owing to the
number of eagles captured this allow
ance was cut down. All battalion
was carried by each regiment of foot
and cavalry. In 1872 still further
reduction was made and in some cases
line regiments were ordered to leave
their eagles in their arsenal. These
standards were also taken from all
regiments of light cavalry and one
eagle sufIiced occasionally for an In
fantry brigade.
The eagle itself was eight inches in
height and nine inches across the
wings. 1t stood on brass block three
inches square and weighed three and a
half pounds

Removing Paint Stains.

Paint Is one or the most usual OF the
unavoidable stains which aftlict the
skirt worn out of doors Fresh paint"
signs are all very we'll If they are seen
IN time but they have an inconyenient
way Of appearing boldly before the
eyes after damage has been done. The
sooner paint stain Is removed the
easier the task of removal will be.
Spread little dry laundry or corn
starch around the spot to keep the
paint when moistened from spreading.
Then wet the stain with turpentine.
After a few minutes moisten again.
Scrape the paint up with dull knife
or a spoon handle and wet again with
turpendue. When there is no trace
left Of the paint rub the spot dry With
a clean cloth and brush off the starch.

THE "CITY OF HOMER"
Reminders of the Ancient Architectural
Glory of Smyrna.

Reminders of the Ancient Architectural
Glory of Smyrna.
Architecturally Smyrna must have
degenerated since the ancient days, for
we are told that then the streets were
broad and handsome, well paved and
running at right angles with each
other There were number OF squares
and porticoes and public libraries, a
museum, stadium in which Olympic
games were celebrated with great en-
thusiasm, grand music hall or Odeon,
Homerion and many temples, OF
which the most famous was that of
the Olympian Jupiter, In which the
reigning emperor was practically the
god worshiped.
The ancient Smyrniotes were fnordi-
nately proud of their city. They called
1t the First Of ASIA" though the Ephe-
slams violently disputed this claim. The
inhabitants also called their city the
"City of Homer who they claimed
had been born and brought up beside
their sacred river Meles
They put his image upon a coin,
which they called homerion,' name
given to one of their temples. Enor-
nous fragments yet remain showing
what tremendous buildings once occu-
pied the broad plateau on the summit
of the acropolis, and as one rebuilds In
Imagination these wonderful piles he
can easily forgive the Smyrniotes of
old for their grandiloquent praise of
their city and its beautiful crown

THE MAHOGANY MILL.
James Lick Made Good His Boast
When Scorned as Suitor.

When Scorned as a Suitor.
The story of 'Lick's Folly, or the
Mahogany Mill" has to do with the
romance of the life of James Lick, the
donor of the Lick observatory.
In early life young Lick fell in love
with the daughter of a well to do
miller for whom he worked When he
made known his love, which was re.
ciprocated by the girl, the miller was
angry and is said to have replied:
"Out, you beggar, Dare you think
Of my daughter. who will inherit my
riches? Have you a mill like thls2
Have you a single penny in your
purser'
TO this Lick replied that he had
nothing as yet. but one day be would
have a mill beside which this one
would be a pigsty.
In 1854 the quiet, parsimonious
James Lick surprised everybody by
building magnificent -four mill near
San Jose. The mill was finished with

and was furnished with the best ma
chinery possible. lie made the grounds
about the mill very attractive and be-
gan early to set out trees both for
fruit and ornament
Lick caused his elegant mill to be
photographed without and within and
sent the pictures to the miller who had
scorned him in his youth
Nineteen years after Mr.. Lick built

IT is encouraging TO know that

IT is encouraging to know that
the machinists throughout the diff
ferent shops are getting wise to
the situation. The other trades
have advanced wonderfully in the
past few years while the machinists
have remained dormant as far as
wages and hours are concerned.
The machinists in Hamilton are
getting little better than laborers
wages, but if they line UP it will
be only a matter of few months
and they will receive better wages
and perhaps shorter hours.
