UNITED NINE WORKERS SUED
West Virginia Coal Operator Seeks
Damages for Organizations Re
fusal to Sign Agreement.

Suit for $4,000 damages based on
the opinion in the famous Coronado
case was filed in Circuit court at
Clarksburg, w. Va, against the United
Mine Workers of America by FL. M.
Sipe, Clarksburg coal operator. Sipe
contends that the union has persist
emily refused to sign an agreement
with him and that as result he is
unable to work the Miller mine near
Wilsonburg. The refusal of the union,
1t is said, is based on the fact that the
Miller mine Is under direction of the
Hudson company, which operates an
other mine on nOnunion basis

ment proceedings are made on all

Fast Boats in 1910,

Although the Cunard line operated
the first regular passenger schedule
on the Atlantic ocean, inaugurated by
the Britannia in 1910, the Savannah,
an American ship, was the first steam
vessel to make the crossing, depend
ing, according to the records, more
upon her sails than her engines, which
ran for less than 100 hours. She was
built in New York city and sailed from
Savannah for Liverpool on May %,
1919, arriving 80 days later.
The Royal William, built at Three
Rivers, near Quebec, made the entire
voyage under steam in 1888. Her first
trip from Quebec to London consumed
40 days. The Britannia's maiden trip
from Liverpool to Boston in 1910 was
made in II days and hours. Her Sis
ter ship, the Acadia, crossed from Liv-
erpool to Halifax in the same year in
II days and hours The next year
she made this voyage in days and 20
hours, a record which stood for many
years.

Continental Europe boasts Of an
owl of such stature and habit that it
has been named the eagleowl The
bird has an eye like an eagle and a
look like an owl. The owl look is en-
phasized by the fact that the eyes Of
this natural field-pest destroyer have
never been known to- move during
life. They cannot be moved after
death.
The immovable eyeball of this giant
owl has caused two German anatomists
to examine the musculature of the
organ with a view toward ascertain
ing the why of the steady scrutiny
But the vacant stare of the wise old
owl still remains a secret except to
the sophisticated bird. The anatomists
found the usual six muscles that con-
troll the movements Of the eyes of ami
mails. The surmise is that from con-
tinued staring and resulting non-use
the muscles have become functionless
The three pairs of muscles of the
eagleow's eye, all in balance and
immovable, suggest locomotives
driving wheel on dead center.

The Eleuslnian Mysteries were an
nual secret religious ceremonies which
were instituted in Athens more than
1000 years before Christ. 1t is un.
known who was responsible for their
institution, but it is generally believed
that they were in honor of Demeter,
the goddess Of the harvest, and that
their effect was an exceedingly good
one. Great secrecy was observed,
death being the penalty imposed on
anyone who revealed the nature of
the rites. 's~ ~s..
They were afterward brought to
Rome where they endured for about
IS centuries, and were abolished by
TheOdosius in $50 A. D. Cicero has
declared in his writings that the
Mysteries tended to promote civiliza-
ton. Their laws were to honor par
ents, to honor the gods with the fruits
of the EARTH and not to treat dumb
animals with cruelty.

HAS TWO CLAIMS TO FAME
Daniel Defoe Was Great Editor as
Well as Writer Of Fiction That
Is Immortal.

Daniel DefOe is thought of by most
present-day people only for having
written Robinson Crusoe," but his
reputation among his own contempo-
raries rested on a great variety of ac-
complishments, of which producing
that now famous book probably came
very near the last. He was chiefly
noted, in his own day, as a very great
editor, the Detroit News observes. De-
foe survived three great political up
heavals, for he wrote and sChemed in
the reigns of James II, William III and
Queen Anne. His fortunes were varied
during these troublOus times and, as
he said of himself, within six months
he saw 'the difference between the
closet of king and the dungeon of
Newgate."
One of his greatest friends from
boyhOod was Samuel Wesley. Wesley
and Defoe married the two daughters
Of a certain Doctor Annesley, Defoe's
pastor. Samuel Wesley's two sons
were John and Charles, who after
ward became two of the most cele-
brated divines of modern history.
Thus DefOe was their uncle by mar
rage.

The charm of English place names
is not only in their bewildering va
riety, but in the fact that almost all
Of them seem Indigenous. At any rate
they are all rooted deep, from what
ever original soil they came. Latin
and Danish names have been wealth
cred and mellowed in so many CEN
turtles Of English history that one re-
members only with an effort that they
are not English in origin. Only the
Norman names have the slightest
tincture Of foreign suggestion about
them. French Is still a rather tender
exotic which needs to be trained
against the sunny southern wall of the
language. Beaulieu does not seem to
belong naturally in Hampshire. But
even TO domesticate the names from
the three or four other languages is
no. small triumph in verbal horticul-

WED ONLY CLOSE RELATIONS
Marriages Between Extreme Old
Age and Youth.

The only occasions on which lads
and lassies of the Red Karen tribe in
Burma meet are at marriage feasts
and at wakes, according to the Ma
tional Geographic Magazine These
festivals last over three nights, and
are veritable orgies, with great ex-
cess of eating and drinking. Both
sexes are well-seasOned vessels, since
they begin drinking strong drink be-
fore they are weaned. Marriages are
limited to near relations and result
quite often in unions where husband
and wife are of very unequal age, the
husband fifteen, the wife seventy, or
the other way about.
Punishment for marriage out of the
clans was formerly very severe. A large
hole was dug in the ground and a
log placed across 1t, to which two
ropes were attached. The ends of
these We're nOosed round the necks
of the offending pair. They were
made to jump into the pit, and so hang
themselves.
Now they are communicated in
stead, and never allowed to enter a
Karen village again. The two vii
lagos of Kara in the Nan-kwo circle
are said to be inhabited entirely by
such clipping couples.

In village street (China) sat a
man selling gold teeth. He had a num-
Der of molds, of different shapes and
sizes. These are slipped on over
sound teeth and worn as ornaments,
writes William L. Hall, in Asia Maya
zine.
Prospective customers fit the molds
on their own teeth and watch the eff
feet in a small mirror provided by the
tooth merchant. When a fit is found,
or a tooth that suits a special fancy,
the price is discussed.
If an agreement is reached, the GUS
toner pays the bill and goes away
with his new possession in his mouth,
but If no trade is made, the tooth is
thrown back into the pile and held for
the next customer.

GRAVES THINGS OF BEAUTY
fied-lnartlstic Surroundings
. Produce Depression.

Housewives have wondered why
Bridget, the cook, packed up and left
without giving reason for her action.
Now the secret is out. 1t was, in all
probability, Dudley Crafts Watson,
interior decorator, says, because her
esthetic sense was not gratified in her
inartistic surroundings
Perhaps the cOlOring and design on
the wallpaper did not strike a har-
moniOus cord in her spiritual makeup.
MANY cook has left because Of
the pictures in her roOm," Watson said
in recent lecture in Milwaukee, the
Milwaukee Journal reports. mo old,
inartistic picture should be hung in
her room. The wallpaper should be
warm, rosy, full of jolly color and Of
graceful design. She needs beauty"
In order to keep the cook from be-
coming dissatisfied and leaving he Of
fers the following advice:
"If your cook enjoys your finest
painting or rarest print hang it in her
room"
Or, in case one is fortunate enough
to support a gallery, the problem, no
doubt, could be simplified by moving
In a bed and turning the gallery over

PECULIAR FORM OF SEA FOOD
Ghianohett, Offspring of the Sardine,
Greatly Reished Along Parts of
the Italian Coast.

The Italians along the italian Ri
viera are passionately attached to g
form of sea food known as CHAN
chetti. Ghianchetti, Kenneth L. Rob
erts explains in the Saturday Evening
Post, are the offspring of the sardine.
They are about one inch in length, and
their bodies are about as robust and
shapely as an ordinary piece OF
string. They are transparent and
their eyes are black and dissipated
looking; and when the Italians pile
them in baskets and trays they have
the appearance of lemon jelly full of
fyspecks-the flyspecks being the
eyes. The approved method of pre-
pairing ghianchetti is to roll them into
a ball or a fritter, fry them in olive
oil and eat until either the CHAN
chetti or the eater is exhausted.
Every good italian, however, finds it
hard to resist them IN their raw state.
A fisherWOman walking along with a
tray of ghianchetti on her head usual
ly keeps reaching up in an absent
minded manner, removing half a hand
full of the little fish from the tray, and
tossing them abstractedly into het
mouth, a dozen or two at a time. When
the ghianchetti season is at its height,
in February, no two ghianchetti fish
ermen can get into an argument with
each other without spraying each
other with ghianchetti fragments
whenever they begin to Shrek with
emotion

JAPANESE Metals.

The japanese are famed not only
for their skill in making decorative
articles, but also for the beauty of the
materials Used. 1t Is said that the
