NOLAN RAPS CONDITION IN U. S.
PoSToFFIcE DEPT
BY ellison Gardner
Washington, April 14.-Sweat-
shop conditions and the speeding-up
process in the Postofice Depart
ment were exposed on the floor of
the House by Representative John
l. Nolan of California, during the de-
bate on the appropriation bill. The
clause under discussion appropriated
money to pay, on the piece-rate
basis, women working at tabulating
machines. The same section car
Tied an increase of 81, 900 for Charles
A. Kram, the official responsible for
the sweating process.
"Sweatshop conditions will be
found to exist in many ways if prop
erly investigated, said a letter, from
a woman employee read on the floor
by Mr.. Nolan. MANY are breaking
down with nervous prostration, and
it is only a question of time when
every one will have paralysis of the
right arm. Last February all limits
were taken off; each one was told
to do all she could. The work was
four months behind; so this helped
to bring it up; at same time errors
from last year were produced in
such quantities as to keep pay roll e.
about usual. The scheme worked"
The claim is made that expenses
have been reduced by the piece-price !
plan. The women are paid $1.50
thousand for punching cards at the
tabulating machines. At the same
time they are charged three cents

swordsmen Of the Sea.

The swordsmen of the sea are
the sawtishes, spearflshes, sailishes,
swordtishes and the narwhal, with its
spirally twisted straight tusks. Saw
fishes inhabit the warmer seas, while
the narwhal is a creature OF the Area
tic. The tusk of the narwhal is hollow
nearly to the point and Is spirally
grooved. 1t uses its tusk as weapon
OF defense and to plunge through the
ice TO breathe, the narwhal being q
cetacean. Sometimes when boat has
been caught In the ice great damage
has been inflicted by the inquisitive-
ness or laundering of this great crea-
ture. that sometimes reaches a length
OF Is feet, with a tusk OF from
six to ten feet in length. AS rule,
however, the narwhal uses its tusk
for killing fish for food. In the cas-
tie OF Rosenberg the kings OF Den
mark have long possessed a magnih-
cent throne made OF tusks Of this
cetacean. These tusks are harder and
whittier than ivory.

TAP CABLE; TELL OF RESCUE
Unusual Means Of Sending Word of
the Rescue of Sailors From
Lost Ship.

Word was received by telegraph
from st. John, N. b., of the rescue at
sea of the captain and % members of
the crew of the Gloucester fishing yes
sci Cynthia after they had been forced
to abandon their boat in a sinking con.
dition. All are safe on the Western
Union cable ship Nina.
News of the saving of the men was
forwarded to Gloucester through the
unusual means of tapping the ocean
cable, sending word to st. John, to the
manager of the cable company, and
thence by wire to Gloucester.
The Nina was at work repairing the
cable at a point south of st. Pierre
banks when the crew of the Cynthia
was discovered. The rescue was ac-
complished in latitude 44.55 and longi-
tude 56S. The men were suffering
from exposure, but now are reported
as all right.
The Cynthia, Capt. Albert Crimes
was the property of the Sylvanus
Smith company Of Gloucester and is
the fourth vessel belonging to that
concern to be lost within year. The
boat has gross tonnage of 1879. and
net tonnage of 1886. She is valued
at $4,000, and was built in Gloucester

Padlocks on the shoppers of decan-
tiers seem to assure the master of the
house that, although he is not able to
keep constant watch and ward over
his sideboard, his choicest vintages
will remain intact. The padlocks and
the keys that turn them are of a
rather prominent size and in silver,
etched or engraved to match the band
or the entire stopper. And very orna-
mental they are, too.
OF absolutely novel shape are the
newest decanters. Standing a trife
taller than do the old-fashioned sort
of rotund form, they are fiat and
broad at the two sides and trifle
curved, but very narrow at the ends.
At the base they are almost as long
as are the sides at their widest part,
but half way up they narrow almost
abruptly into the silver-topped neck.

MARCH STRAIGHT 10 THE SEA
No Obstacle Able to Make Army Of
West Indian Crabs SWerVO
From Its Course.

In the rivers and fresh-water
streams Of the West Indian noun
tains are quantities of crabs that
scuttle away when anyone comes
near just like any ordinary crabs.
But, as crabs go, these are very queer
crabs indeed.
When an American lady crab
wishes to lay her eggs, she lays them
without more ado and keeps them at
tached to her body until they are
Matched. But not so her West Indian
cousin. She lives in the mountains,
but she feels that she nAust lay her
eggs in the sad Of the seashore. No
where else will do.
So, once a year, all the West Indian
crabs gather in a great army. which
sometimes stretches 40 yards wide
and more than a mile long. Then
they set out for the sea, the maleS
leading and the females behind.
Nothing can turn this fierce little
army from its course. II house
stands in its way, or a wall, or a cliff,
over 1t goes. Sometimes hundreds OF
crabs are killed in their tracks, but
the host keeps straight on, turning
neither to the right nor to the left.
When the army arrives upon 4 the
seashore, the females settle down Con-
tentedly in the sand and deposit their
eggs. And when the laying season
is over, the old crabs turn around and
march Serenely home.

granted a permanent Injunction in be-
half Of the Centaur Company of New
York, the manufacturers Of F1etcher's
Castoria, against the Stewart &
Holmes Drug Company of this city. =
The controversy arose from the SIM
ulating of the labels of this well-known
preparation, and from the evidence
filed in the case 1t was shown that the
infringing label was first discovered
on sale in Honolulu, and was traced to
its origin here in Seattle.
The defendant company is one Of
the oldest and largest concerns Of it's
kind in the Northwest.
The decree carries with It an order
that the Stewart & Holmes Company

KEEPING APPLES IN WINTER
Should BE Carefully Sorted Over and
Perfect Specimens Wrapped In
Paper Like Oranges.

II your apples are not headed up in
barrels Ga much better way than to
keep them in open bins exposed to
the air. sort over carefully and it will
pay you to keep the most perfect
ones by themselves. Wrap each in
paper, as oranges are wrapped, and
pack away in a box or barrel with a
tight cover. You will be surprised at
how greatly this little labor will i'm
prove the keeping qualities. Not only
will the fruit thus packed keep longer
without rotting, but the fresh texture
and flavor will be more perfectly re-
tanned.
Some of the western orchardists ere
now packing apples for markets in
this way with all the care that the
orange grower exercises and no doubt
very soon all choice fruit will be pro-
tected.
While the professional should take
pride in wrapping each apple which
he sells in a neat wrapper containing
his name and address, ordinary news
paper will suffice for home use.
