EBONY BURNED AS FlREWOOD
Mahogany Also Employed for Floors In
Burma, According to Statement
Of Missionary

The people of Burma burn ebony as
hrewood and use mahogany for floors,
but the dance music is abomiDable, ac-
cording to Rev. John Tilden Latta, re-
turned missionary.
The chief function OF music and the
weird dances In the land Of the golden
peacock is to drive away the evil spir-
Its, and it is essential to Burmese
ideas Of harmony" to have each in
strument toned ia a different key. But
1t would be great place for the chill
dren.
Parrots can be bought for nickel
and monkeys for quarter.
No word in the language has more
than one syllable There are no de-
clenSionS or conjugations. The Bur
mese are short on words and hence
every word is pronounced in three
tones having a different meaning In
each. The average wage Is 16 cents O
day. There are no violent deaths. the
plague and malaria being the only
scourges. The native doctors prescribe
on a principle of opposites. II man
has rheumatism they feed him pow
dered deer's bones, and the remedy for
d sour stomach is sugar.

Dom Joao's Botanical Gsrdena

Dom Joao's botanical garden Ia Rio
capital OF Brazil, is today the finest
In the New World and eQualed only
by that of Buitenzorg, Java, says Har-
riett c. Adams, in the National Geo
graphic Magazine. Its century-old i'm
ported bamboos are as tall as forest
trees; its native Victoria Regia lilies
most queenly OF their kind. Its Royal
Palm avenue, almost 1900 feet long,
is second only to Rios Quadruple Palm
avenue bordering the Mangue canal.
In the early days these palms were
mark of the royal distinction and
were planted only in parks and ave-
nues near city and county palaces.
The story goes that slave stole some
OF the seeds and sold them. Today
these ''feather-dusters OF the gods"
wave In every part OF the city. At
present there is free distribution OF
seeds and plants from the botanical
garden.

DUSKY WORKER OF MIRACLES
Negro Saint, Forbidden te Exercise
Power, Put White Bishop In
Something Of Hole.

Long ago when Peru was jewel In
the Spanish crown, there lived In that
country negro of such remarkable
sanctity that his miracles rivaled those
OF the best white saints Of his time
Fearing for the supremacy Of his race,
the Spanish bishop took the precau-
tion Of forbidding this dark-skinned
saint to give any further exhibitions
OF his power. an order which was ac-
cepted with the humility that marks
the real saint Of every age, land or
color. Now, the Spsniards built q
cathedral In Lima, and during the
building Of 1t workmen fell from the
topmost scaffolding before the horri-
f1ed eyes of the holy negro. 1t was
a fearful dilemma. A seconds delay
and the man would be dashed to
pieces. "Stopl' he shouted; and leav-
Ing the workman hanging In midair
he sought out the bishop and ex-
planned the situation. II the bishop
ana not want poor son Of Ham to
perform miracles, would he prefer to
come and do the job himselff The
bishop wisely chose to allow his black
sheep to return to the cathedral and
carry on; the workman fell up
again gently to his scaffolding, and
the work Of building went happily on.

Color and Horse Charactsr

An old cavalry officer says that one
may Judge the constitution and char
acter of horse from it's color. Bright
chestnuts and light bays are high
spirited, but nervous and delicate
Dark chestnuts and glossy blacks are
hardy and more tempered. Rich bays
have great spirit, but are teachable.
Dark and iron grays are hardy and
sound, while light grays. are the op-
posite.
Roans, either strawberry or blue
are the hardest, and best working OF
all, even tempered, easiest to train
taking kindly TO everything Rusty
blacks are distinguished for their pig.

Some few years ago the Donaldson
Company was in bad with organized
labor, and after a severe fight decid-
ed to unionize 1t now appears as if
the company wants another fight with
labor.
Secretary Donnelly, of the o. s. +.
of L., in a communication states that
the workmen's compensation law is
being attacked vigorously by the in
surance companies and the enemies of
labor. He urges that we get in touch
with our representa- tives and senator
at once. A committee, consisting Of
Price, Weiss and Eggleston, was ap-
pointed to draft resolutions to be
submitted to our legislatures.
Thos. j. Donnelly, in letter, ac-
knowledged receipt of trades councils

the new labor temple. Donnelly will
be here on that date.
Owing to the large amount Of work
on hand A. E. Eggleston, for several
years corresponding secretary of the
central body, handed in his resigna-
ton to take effect at once. The dele
gates did not want Eggieston to re,
sign, but knowing that he is very
busy man at present, finally decided
to accept his resignation.
Tim Farley was nominated for the
position and was unanimously elect
ed corresponding secretary. Tim will
make good secretary, and he imme-
diately assumed the exalted position.
Ed Duley, member Of Transfers
Union, was admitted to the meeting
as visitor.
Many of the trades reported condi-
tions fair, while some reported that
their members were working short
time, and some not working at all.
BARRIERS delegates reported that
there are four scab barber ships II
the city, and that a ncn-unlon shop
with four chairs started on Main
street.
The molders again reported that
the Holland Furnace Company, and
the Niles Tool Works Company are
still out of tie union fold.
The trustees made their report OF
receipts and expenditures which shows
the council to be in a healthy condi-
Uion
Stanley Ogg reported that he re-
ceived q letter from John Northway,
secretary of the chamber of commerce,
in which he asked the cooperation of
the council On the North Third street
bridge and extension. The same was
received and ordered complied with.
Jerome c. Blair, member of locsl
Cigar Makers Union, appealed to the
delegates to assist the cigar makers
in creating better demand for home

The World by Color.

II we speak by continents, the
really white world consists Of Europe,
North America to the Rio Grande, the
southern portion OF South America,
the Siberian part OF Asia, and Aus
tralasia, the last two, Of course, being
very thinly inhabited. On the other
hand, the world Of color consists OF
the bulk of Asia, virtually the whole
Of Africa, and most Of Central and
South America. The great bulk OF
the white race is, OF course. concen-
trated In the European continent.
Four-hfths Of the entire white race
lives on less than one-fifth of the
white worlds area. OF the colored
races the yellow are naturally the
most numerous, living In eastern Asia,
and numbering over 500,OO0,0O0. The
browns number more than 400, 900, 900
while the blacks, whose center is
Africa, south Of the Sahara desert.
total about 150,OO0,OOO. The reds are,
OF course, OF less consequence,
being few In number.
