Strikes.

A strike is a determination on the part of large number of men to abstain from working in a firm and vociferous manner.
 This is usually pretty hard on the men and they loose weight rapidly because their pay checks also re- frain from work during the strike and the cruel grocer asks for cash in advance. But the strike is not very hard on the owners of the factory whose employees are un- animously resting. A factory which is enjoying strike is about as useless and expensive as a pri- vate yacht. It requires a tremen- dous effort of the will to envy the owner of factory whose workmen are all on the outside picking daisies and brick bats. while the interests charges and taxes go relentlessly on.
 Men do not strike for the mere joy of sitting around and waiting for last weeks meal to materalize
 They strike because they have been abused, or unpaid, or imposed upon, or because clause z8 of the contract has been broken or bent bv the party of the second part. Nothing in the line of argument a strike in eloquenee. Many a body of men have argued with their employers for years with out doing more than to jar an An. indeed out of them, and have then struck and have made said see the whole point in less than a month.
 Strikes have been so successful that almost all workmen are now and can strike whenever they feel like it. Moreover, almost all employers are now organized and can tell the strikes to go to thunder with great emphasis. Everyone is organized except the consumer. The consumer ought to have sense enough to run a few strikes by himself.
 What we need in this country is a strike by the National Union of Porterhouse Steak consumers for lower prices. It would help a good deal.
 A strike by the Almalgamated Theater-goers would make the ticket scalper curl up and die in great pain.
 A strike by the Journeymen Gar Catohers would cause the street car companies to hang seats all over their cars if necessary.
 If the Allied Telephone Users were to go out in body and parade the streets for few weeks, the recording angel would no longer help whenever a quick tempered man tried to use the telephone.
 Strikes are grand things if prop erly used, but they are not. appre- ciated by the consumer and he in turn willnot be appreciated until he learns how to strike with ease and grace on all occasions.

In every eye there is a little sDo
that Is totally blind. Young eyey, Oi,

brown or black eyes-all of them.
even the most perfect. have, in each
retina, little round spot which l..
wholly blind both to brightness and
color. This spot is located just at the
point where the optic nerve centers.
and is approximately one-twelfth OF
an inch wide. Several interesting cN
periments can be made to prove the
presence of this blind spot. For ey
ample, cover the right eye with the
hand or bandage and gaze with til,

screen about seven feet distant. Let
another person be seated against ths
wall on your left-hand side. in such
position that his forehead is on .
level with the point at which you are
gazing, and his nearer cheek about
twenty inches distant from it. Do not
turn your eyeball, but gaze steadily
as at first, and his face Will entirely
disappear, and the wall will seem TO
be perfe. tly blank. If you spread d
sheet of paper on the wall aud note

to make an accurate map Of the blind
spot as projected on the wall An.
other experiment is performed by
painting nine large letters in three

upon a sheet OF paper at such a dis.
lance and in such a position before
the eye that the central letter of thr

OLD WEDDING DAY CUSTOMS
Many Superstitions Have Clustered
Around the Marriage Ceremony,
Especially in Olden Times.

Superstition never clustered round
any episode of life more than that Of
The Wedding day, especially ip olden
times.
Then IL was customary for the bride
to present her future husband with
bunch of rosemary, tied up with rib.
bons, on his first appearance on the
wedding morning. This was supposed
to insure his love and loyalty. and to
make her happy forever.
In Yorkshire The old superstition
still abounds that nothing imore un.
lucky could happen than for n newly
made bride TO leave the church by
different door from that by which she
entered
Another quaint custom, for which
there is no known origin. Is that
practiced in some of the midland and
northern counties. This is TO ring a
merry peal of the church bells at the
first reading of the banns Of an i'm
tending matrimonial couple. II il
called the spur peal" which in old
8nrlo.Saxon means simply ask"

THE SUBJECT Of BOUNT|ES

By referring to the list of bills
allowed at the first meeting Of the
new board of county commissioners,
it will be seen that a large eXpendi-
ture # county funds is made for
the rpose of meeting expenses
incur ed through the matter of
boun On scslpa OF noxious animals
Ever, county in tle state has the
same contingency to face says the
Wells Herald.
The law appertaining to the pay
ment of bounties on noxlous
animals was made at the behest of
stock men of the state. 1t was
made at a time when such protec-
ton was badly needed by the
catti, men ard served we'll to pro-
tect hem in measure from tbs
invas on of their herds and fiocks
by wild animals. But it is douot-
full il, at the present time, the law
is of much benefit to them. 1t is
quest tonable if the fact thata bount.
is off cred on coyotes and other
noxious animals really results i'll
the ling of these animals.
Al the time the bounty measure
became a law Of Nevada all kinds
of fuss were Of little market value,
but turing the past year or two az
eno,l nous demani has been created
for frs of every character. S.
grea' is this demand that the
amin lis are being killed by the
Thousands, not on!5 for The bounty,
SIN IL part o. their value, but for
the If vlaue prihl :ipaIly.
1t 5 not al uncommon thing for
coyo,s hides to bring 81, an
hides at from So to $3.50 are
common.
Tn, payment o. these bounties
is a great drain upon every trea
sury in Nevada. This would the
alright, if it we're necesslry Tor
the protection Of the stockman,
but it is doubtful if the bounty IS
any incentive 20 hunterg to | Ii
these animals; while on the othe II
hand it is almost certain that far
value of the pelts Of these animal
is really the incentive that now
tends to their slaughter. Those
who have given the matter thought
believe if the bounty we're now re
novel just as many nOxiuus
amin lis would be alone killed for
their fur value. If this proved to
be the case, and it seems that it
wouli remove great expense
from the counties of the state.
This is subject that is worthy
of GO lsidefatiom by the incoming
body of lawmakers.
