The Ooal Miner's Strike. If the cod ttrike n England actually takes place, it will be the moat formidable movement of organized labor that has ever occurred. 11 has been estimated that it would throw out of work 240,000 men and boys, representing with their families, quite 1,000,000 people The object of the pro- posed strike is ..o secure an increase in wares of 10 per cent., this corresponding to the rerluction in wages that was made three years a$°. At the timeof the cutdo we the coal trade of England waa in an exceedingly de- prossed condition and it was generally ad- mitted, even by ihe miners themaelves, that a reduction in wages was inevitable. Bat within the last twelve or eighteen months the coal business has improved, though the owners a the mines assert that the improve- ment consists in larger sales, but not in in- creased prices. However, there seems to be a difference of opinion on this subject, for the mine owners In Lancaehire offered to in- crease the peer of their men 5 per cent. with. out condition and even 10 per cent. if the odne owners in other parts of England made corresponding increase. But the conditions of mutual support made it impossible for tbe Lancashire miners to accept this proposition, thoughit was understood that quite a number of them were favorable to it. The trouble with coal Mining in England is that prior to 1875 the prices of coal were abnormally high, which led to the opening and develop- ing of a large number of mines, so that the average output hap frequently been consid erably greater than the ordinary conaump tion, thus leading to an inevitable -decline in prime Kiss Mamma, Too. a eons° of journalistic duty he knows at— la the expreatave languego of the Bowery bo is r.

America's Dead Sea. Salt Lake, America's Great Dead Sea, is myeterious, because covering as it does 2,500 square miles with an average depths of forty feet, no man has yet found its out- let. Fresh streams pear into it from all sides, and yet to day it is briny -as when first discovered. It is one fifth pure salt, and so dense is it that it is impossible to slink in it. It has puzzled scientists from all quarters of the globe to tell what be- comes of the water that constantly flows into its capacious maw, and while some have given as a solution the possibility of a sub- terranean outlet, and some have accounted for its disappearance by soler evaporation, no absolute satisfactory theory haa yet been assigned for the lake maintaining its average volume since its firet discovery. Strange to relate, while there is no outlet to this saline masa there is yet a strong current found in two places, Old seamen who have navi- gated the lake for years have always held to the theory that this Wall the fastest water in the world for rowing, for two reasons. One of these was that the water being so buoyant a boat mould naturally float higher and therefore displace less water; and the other, that the water being so dense the blade of the oar necessarily bad An incident on an Al/an street car las much more purchase because of the great Saturday afternoon furnished amusement fo resistance of the heaven water.

When routed out of that he made a dive for Mr. Bowaer'a feet, just in time to trip hint up and lot hint down with a jar that made the roof shake. The soared brute then juraped into the crib and lay down on baby's head, from which position he was lif ted to be flung over the alley fence. "Is that the way they run deer?' I ask. ed Mr. Boweer. "Whose fault is ib he demanded. "Yon had that dog terrified as soon as he struck the house. It was his mortal fear of you which made him act so. If you don't have something awful happen to you I'll miss my guess. '' It wasn't a week before he came homewith another canine. The beast was under -sized, out at the elbows and down -hearted. When I asked what he was good for, Mr. Bowser replied : "If you knew anything about dogs you could see at a glance. He's a rat terrier." 44 Does he terrify rata ?" "Des he? In one week there won't ba a rat on this whole square 1" "Wouldn't it be as well to stolid the rats as the dog ?" " That's you, exactly 1 That's a speeimen of your mercy!

The terrier didn't do anything remarkable for the first three days except to fill up and sleep. On the fourth day, arir We were eating dinner, we heard a row in the back yard-, and as we got to the door we saw the terrier penned up in a corner of the yard, tail down and eyes rolling, and a email rat was keeping him there and having lots of fun. The rodent skipped at sight of us and the dog crawled under the barn. I laughed till I fell down but Mr. Bowser was very stern and dignified. After he had pulled the terrier out aud flung him over the fence he came back to me and said: "Are you satisfied now ?" " That the dog is a ratter ?"

I had taken a drink or two and felt jolly, paniide:o I hailed her with: " H " Howdy, stranger ?" she promptly re- owdyt Sal? Fine day ?'' ' wrisf'eS.,p," I' went on, "I'm looking for'a " Mat sort ? "About your kind." "Want mel" "11 you'll have me." "Reckon I will. Let's drive back and see dad and mam." "I was joking, you know, and so I told her that I was in a great hurry and would return. Three natives who came along just " then stopped to find out what was the matter, and they set in with the girl to take me back. The only way I could get out of it was to bolt for the woods, leaving the horse and buggy behind, and five years later the girl was still driving them. That little joke of mine cost me just $350, to say nothing of being run through it patch of woods fivs miles wide," Prompt Action. Not only in oases were decision is called or, but in all the plain duties of life is prompt action' imperative.

Thus it is put off from time to time, trouble Is caused by the unjust delay, other duties crowd in, and they cerry a load of unfulfill- ed obligations, continually increasing, until life itself Emma one huge burden which they can hardly bear.
