Clever Beugars.

Crust throwers, those strangely
clever beggars who carry dry bread,
throw it into the streets at the psy-
Geological moment and hurl them
selves on it with wild cries, object,
sympathy and aims, have rivals in the
soap eaters, who are said to ruin their
health by the diet for the purpose OF
gaining sympathy and undeserved
charitable assistance. Two soap eat
ers recently arrested in New York
were asked what allied them and each
showed forth a feebly held card, one
reading, "a Victim of tuberculosis

fusion. a variety with leaves varie

Instead of planting in rows the

OLD-FASHIONED FLOWERS

The rose-geranium slip planted early
in May will soon become an immense
plant with most luxurious foliage,
which is one of the prettiest things
for finishing your bouquet.
The leaves can be used for scent
ing handkerchief boxes, and a leaf
placed on top of your jelly will give it
a delicious flavor
When only few flowers are grown
do not depend on the mtgnonette alone
for fragrance. There are many other
fragrant plants that have the added
advantage of being beautiful in form

The Dominion of Canada has had
for the last nine years what is
known as an industrial disputes in

and not alone the employees VINO
are al odds over questions OF wages
hours OF labor and other conditions
affecting thelr own interests, says
the New York journal OF Commerce.
| The legislation was occasioned at the
beginning by n series OF strikes in
coal. mines and on railroads which
were the cause OF much personal suf-
fering and loss and much disturbance
OF business. It's scope was enlarged
TO include oil transportation and com
mun!cation operations and others fall

the development OF the legislation

ly made obligatory is submitting to
investigation by an Official board he
fore any strike or lockout can be or
dered. The party contemplating an
order TO strike or to lock out employ
ees is required to notify the govern
ment, state that all possible means Of
settlement between themselves have
been exhausted, and ask for the ap
pointment Of an investigating board
The minister of labor calls upon
each of the parties to name a mem

himself will select him. Until the
investigation is concluded conditions

be no strike or lockout under sever,

sense Of justice in the parties concern
ed and in the public, as the only
means Of enforcement necessary. The
penalties spoken OF are only for not
complying with the law to submit all
questions TO investigation and await
the result before ordering strike or
lockout. The penalty section OF the
act reads: ANY employer declaring
or causing a lockout contrary to the
provisions of this act shall fe liable
to line OF not less than S100 nor
mere than $1,000 for each day OF part
OF day that such a lockout exists
Any employee who goes on strike con
trary to the provisions OF this act
Shall ho liable to a fine of not less
than SO nor more than $50 for each
day or part Of a day that such en-
ployee IS on strike. Any person who
incites, encourages or aids in any man
her any employer to declare or CON
tinue any lockout. or any employee to
20 or continue on strike contrary to
the provisions OF this act, shall be
guilty of an offense and liable to d
fine Of not less than $50 nor more
