Andustrial war such es has been begun in Fall plorable from any point of view. 08 1,816,859 working days was lost to labor. At a mini- Mum wage of a dollar « day this diminution of house- hola comforts was considerable, and the accompanying | dtaturbance to business of probably greater extent if Joes direct in its consequences, The fact that of the Strikes entered into in the State last year 52 per cent. falled, leaves the outceme of the present controversy An interesting theory based on the figures of the feport of strikes and lockouts in Great Britain, analysed by the London Saturday Review, is that sirikes may broadly be regarded as a favorable sign of General prosperity, During the period of trade depres- sion from 1898 to 1902 the number of trade disputes in Bnghand was much smalier than during the brighter pe- Fiod from 1893 to 1897. In 1903, when the stagnation in trade reached its lowest point, the number of strikes ‘was only 387, a distinct decline from the low average of years immediately preceding. It is inferred that in time of depression labor {is less willing to strike for ad- ‘Venoes ana equally disinclined to fight reductions, In England there is reported to be a very slight ‘Growth in the tendency to settle labor disputes through the variove boards of arbitration created by the Con- viliation act, In Massachusetts there is noted a grati- fying increase of adjustments by arbitration arranged for fn joint trade agreements in which in addition to stipu- Jations about the conditions of employment provision ta ™made for the reference to arbitration of points in dis- Pute, The fact that the strikes in 1903 were fewer by AMfty-nine than 1a the year previous was attributed to ‘this recourse to local and unofficial arbitration.

FLAMES oF , ‘ LOVE ARE . .m BURNING Why Women Love to See Two Husky Men Swat Each Other, : 6 6 SEE,” sald The Cigar Store Man, “tuet Phila- delphia is all mussed up over @ couple of hundred females attending the Fitzsimmons- O'Brien al fresco slugging match last | Saturday.” “It women want to see prize-fights,” replied The Man Higher Up, “I can't see any license for getting out in- junctions. In seeking the excitement attending contests of strength, the Philadelphia women who saw the ane cient Fitzsimmons dislocate the visage of the youthful O'Brien followed out a natural instinct. We are #ll more or less savage; but women don’t show it as much as men, except when they get to talking about thelr best friends of their own sex. “In the olden days of the world, when a man’s attire consisted of a set of whiskers and a rhinoceros-hide shirt, it was the large, brutal guy with the muscles who copped the female peaches. In the struggle for existence the husky geezer who swung the biggest club was the boss of the camp. The warrior who came back from battle with the fattest ba‘ting average had the pick of the eligible maidens, In those scrappy times there was generated in the mind of woman a respect for manly strength and skill that exists to this day and never will die, “Women admire power ina man. They like to see @ man conquer his fellows, whether he does |t with his\ fists or his brains.

Tales of tiger shooting in India are common enough, but one does not hear much about king cobra hunting. A, Meh vyn Smith tells how, accompanied by two natives, he went to a spot where « pair of king cobras wore known to be, On arrival at the place he was made to get under a basket, the meshes of which were too small for @ king cobra to put fte head through, While he was beneath this basket one of the snakes came out and was shot with arrows by na- tives, The other cobra then appeared and endeavored to overturn the coop Describing the incident, the writer sags: “The terror of that moment I cannot express, What if it should overturn the basket! The strength of thirteen feet of muscle must be enormous, and if used in the right direo- thon would soon overcome my pull at the cord. What would then happen? Certain death for mo, I felt sure Again the whis of an arrow and I saw a gaping weund along the neck of the flerce brute as it quitted its hold to look for this new foe, Fixing my knee on the cord, I now placed the mussle of my gun just through one of the square openings in the basket, and, alming at the hood, fired both barrels in rapid succession, and had the satisfaction of seeing the horrid rT Tae beets fing up the leaves and dust in ite death throer.”’ THEIR, Gin ; Origin of ‘*Cad.” “Cad,” tt 1 pointed out by a writer, Is @ word furnishing “a pathetic instance of verbal degeneration.” He sayy “Its grandfather ‘cadet’ and its father ‘caddie’ are still alive in the language, though the few. ‘Cadet,’ signifying by the ‘little head.) or ‘little chief,’ was @ suffielently honorable word for the younger son of a noble family, and {ts modern army sense from the fact that the army was often the destiny of younger sons, But it also begat ‘eadis’ or ‘caddie,’ a junior or subordinate in general, such as a yed I fo Sweer nto a Boomerang. # # ANT TUNG.
