IN THEIR OWN WAY.” A recognition of the importance of the coal strike | , fs furnished in the calling of a meeting of the Executive Committee of the National Civic Federation. This meeting should have been called at the time when the opprators and miners first failed to reach an agree- ment. Now it is to be held within the next ten days. With New York not ten days removed from a coal famine it is time that some effort should be made to avert the serious disaster threatened by the strike. ‘The loss and damage of a coal famine will amount to more than the issue involved in the controversy, and it will fall on the general public who have had no hand in causing the trouble. The impartial mediation of a third party offers the natural and only method of ending the difficulty, but what prospect is there of reaching an agreement inj face of the hostile and unyielding attitude of the coal | road presidents? It is not even certain that they will) \ recognize the jurisdiction or even the existence of the \voi Federation, Their position was tersely expressed in the Sunday World’s symposium on the subject yesterday in which Mr. Williams, the General Sales Agent of the Erie Rail- road, said: “The operators intend to run their busi-| ness in their own way.” This means that in the mind} of the coal magnate the business of mining and trans- porting coal is entirely a private affair which concerns | only the aforesaid magnate. It is not the business of the miners, nor of the Civic Federation nor of any one) 4, else. As for the general public, there is no dissent from the historic sentiment, “The public be damned.” What is the outlook for mediation or conciliation under such circumstances? Like Their Bettern, ‘ive youthful east side marauders arraigned in Essex Market Court were in the habit of pooling the proceeds of their thefts and holding the plunder in common, to be drawn on when any one of them needed funds, Has the “community of interests” {dea filtered down to the financial sub-strata of soc AUTOMOBILES AND BRICK BATS. ‘The disposition to shy a brick at an automobile as| ? it passes is growing and it ought to be repressed. | Sometimes the man behind the missile may deem his | ; cause just, as did Jeromus Rapelyea, the old soldier of Newtown, L. 1., who struck Chauffeur Kennedy on the: head with a lump of clay; Kennedy's automobile had crowded Rapelyea’s carriage off the road and forced the old soldier and his grandchild to jump to avoid injury, Usually, howev the attack !s wanton, as in the case of the east side street boys who stoned Banker Thomas and his bride Saturday. The desire there was simply to hit a moving target, as a leaping lon with a base- ball at a Coney Island gallery. Boys attempting this kind of marksmanship are “unmitigated little loafers’ as Magistrate Brann calls them and deserve the full penalty of the law. | A development of interest from these street assaults is the Automobile Club's proposed formal request of the Police Department for better protection. If any part of the animosity against automobiles shown by stone throwing is due to a popular idea that chauffeurs ha disregarded the rights of pedestrians, it 1s to be re- gretted that such a misapprehension should have arisen, The appeal of the automobilists to the law in- dicates that they are law-abiding themselves and we cannot longer suspect them of violation of speed ordi- nances or other like offenses.

An Olympiad was a period of four years, the games vetng celebrated every fourth year. When it was first proposed to use the Olymplan era the earllest record that could be found was the vic- tory of Choroebos, who won the great foot race long be- fore horse racing and chariot racing were Introduced. His victory was taken as the start- ing point of the Olympiads. NASAL DOUCHES A writer in the Lancet says that children should be taught to use the hasal douche when they are taught to use the tooth brush. If the organ were dally cleans- ed, he says, with a slightly astrin- gent douche, such as a weak solution of sea salt, colds and germ diseases would be much less frequent. ———— No actress. An attractive household ornament, having the appearance of a marble fountain, can be made by putting some salt and enough water to dissolve it in a very emall glass frult dish, and from day to day add a little more water and salt. In a short time the salt will spread and crystallize over the edges of the glass, then down around the out- side, This dish may then be stood upon another similar dish, of larger size, as shown In the illustration, and salt and water placed In it regularly in like manner. ‘The same result will follow, when a third larger fruit dish, and per- haps a fourth and fifth, may be added to the column. With the constant additions of salt and water, the crystallization will spread over and down the entire column, appearing like a fountain or waterfall, white and sparkling. The salt will harden, holding all the sections of the marble-like pillar firm|;: together ‘This bill-poster evidently does not care how his work is done. up in reckless and misplaced fashion a bill Intended to show the picture of a star, If you wish to see what she look like you will have to cut out and fit to- gether the parts of the head In the place where each belongs.

It is a remarkable fact in the compensation of nature that the larger animals, fishes and Insects are not as a rule 30 Ingenious in defending themselves as the smaller ones, One of the apparently least formidable of insects, for in- stance, is the peripatus, which is preyed upon by all its neighbors. When attacked, however, It ejects from {ts mouth a tiny secretion, which immediately crystalizes on coming in contact with the air, The instant this fluid strikes the peripatus's enemy it becomes like 80 much glass or ice, blind- ing and holding its victim.

BRAVE MEN’S FEARS, Men who have faced cannon, who have fought with wild beasts, endured the solitude of the great forests and moun- tains, known the peril of the great deep and of mighty tem- pests, unfilnching, will shrink with terror from the thought of spending a night alone in a large house. There are other brave men—and women—who tremble at the thought of a locked door or of the dark. Of President Lincoln it ts said that as a boy he actually feared to lift a tiny, wriggling, new-hatched chicken In his hands. There are brainy and courageous men and women In plenty who would faint and shiver if left alone with a harmless fireside cat.

Even if the one terror is by some means removed or lessened another is immediately substi- tuted and dreaded in its place.
