THE uNREL1ABLE pINoN.

Not long ago. a number Of New
York confcctioners offered for sale
a candy made with a small, very
rich and oily nut, Of delicate flavor
and fine grain. The candy immedi-
ately became popular, and large
demand for 1t sprang up. Then all
at once the supply ceased altogether:
there was no "pinon" candy to be
had at any price. The dealers could
only tell their disappointed Gust
toners that the pinons. the nuts
with which the candy was made.
came from New Mexico. and Arizona,
and that no more Of the nuts were
obtainable for the time being for
some unknown reason.
The. reason the supply for pinons
suddenly failed is that the pinon
tree, or nut pine. only bears fruit
once in every four to seven years in
sufficient quantities to induce the
wood rat to gather It. And unless
the wood rat gathers it, nobody
will: for the Mexicans and Indians
are altogether too lazy to gather the
tiny nuts by hand, even though
there is a commercial demand for
them. The harvest is gathered by

Labor Disputes.

While the rights OF the public are
not to be lost sight of, it must also
be remembered that the parties d.
rectly engaged in labor dispute
have rights. The state has no power
to compel men to invest their money
in Industries, whose management in
essential features can be taken from
their hands by outside authority.
The state has no power to compel
working men to continue to work I'M
der conditions Of which their iudg-
ment disapprove. The exercise OF
such powers on the part Of the state
would mean the introduction of COM
munistic conditions, which certainly
the people of West Virginia are not
yet prepared for. The state may
well provide some board of concilia-
ton TO which parties in labor dis
putes may voluntarily appeal in
search OF a peaceful settlement. Be-
yond the sphere of voluntary acquies-
cence, however. on the part Of both
employer and employee, the state

Elrenroof Clothes.

DR.. William H. Perkin, the English
chemist, has found a method of max
ing cotton cloth absolutely f1reproof,
so that it will not burn even when held
In a gas-fame. One fireproof garment
was unframed by twenty washings.
and another which had been worn for
two years and washed every week.
Neither could be burned, though the
latter was worn almost to rags. This
fireproof cloth costs about a penny a
yard more than untreated cloth.
Not only will this f1reproofed mate
rial be found suitable for the manu-
facture of clothes for firemen, but it
may also be used by women for the
finest party dresses, the most deli
cately -colored fabrics being unframed
by the process and even given a softer
appearance. For children's clothes it
should be particularly desirable, since
it is likely to prevent many accidents.

and usually possesses a dirty nose to
wipe on the trousers of the feeder.
The accompanying illustration tells
how to feed the hogs without going
into the lot or field. The trough is
secured to the ground by means Of
strong stakes and is held at one end
against the fence. A spout made of
four boards extends from the end OF
the trough to the outside and is firm
Iy secured to the fence and trough.
The feed is poured through the
spout and it gives such force to the
flow that the far end of the trough
is usually reached before it is stopped
by the hogs. A paddle is kept by the
fence to force down the solid matter
that tends to accumulate in the spout
and to empty the water that stands
in the trough after q rain.

Leaving them, of course. They are

But could not you have detained

"Of course, had but known, could
have forbidden her departure. But as
her owner had presented himself at
the consulate, and was recognized as a
respectable person, felt that could
not interfere without some tangible In
formation-and that, alas! has come
too late. The vessel is a swift one

out couple of torpedo-boats after her
but, unfortunately, this is impossible
as the flotilla is sailing in an hour to
