TRiDESJOUNCIL The Co-operative Trades and L,a bor Council met Tuesday night in regular session with President George Wiseman presiding and all trades with the exception of a few being presents _The credentials of John Baker of Stove Mounters' Union, S. N. Fish and Len Boggs of Paper Makers' Union were received and delegates installed. The report of ftie Labor legisla tive League was read received and "delegates given a vote of thanks. Communication of the Henry Holt Co., of New York publishers in which they state that they are issuing Helen Marot'sbook "Amer ican Labor Unions." Received. A communication was received from the Stove Mounters' Union of Evansvifle, Ind., in which they give the names of -The Indiana Stove Works, Southern Stove Works, The Crescent Stove Works and the Evansville Stove Works. They do not employ union labor. Received. Communication from the Central Labor Council of Portsmouth, Ohio asking council to create a demand for Union made fcloves. The Peer less glove is manufactured in that city. The Central Labor Union of Ind ianapolis, Ind., again calls atten tion to the K. C. Atkius Saw Man ufacturing Co., wh© still operates it's plant on the "Open Shop" pol icy. They manufacture saws, and knives. A committee of 6 was appointed by the chair to investigate the rec ords of candidates tor each office. Miller, Few, Smith, Hill, Cochran and Finfrock were appointed on the committee. BAKER BOSSES ORGANIZE. The baker bosses of this city met a few days ago and decided to or ganize. It is said that the bakers have been contemplating such an organization for some time, and a few days ago several met and a committee was appointed to form ulate plans for the new organization The bakers are sadly in need of an organization for their own protec tion and it is hoped that they will get down to business at once. The bread trust has entered this field and is trying to force the home bakeries out of business. It is nec essary for the baker bosses to or ganize to protect their interests and every grocer who has the city of Hamilton and .it's citizens at heart should do all in their powe to patronize home products exclu sively. Business Agent At the meeting of Painters' Un ion held Thursday night, Oct. 1st Win. Finfrock was elected Business Agent, and will assume his nefr duties Monday. Little Bits. On and after Saturday, October 17, the barber shops all over the city will close at 10 p. m. This was decided upon by all the jour neymen barbers and also the barber shop proprietors. The barbers claim that all the work can be done Saturday before 10 p. m., and they kindly ask the public to assist them in their new rule by coming early to have their work done, whio|i will be more than appreciated. rc Mr. O. E. Saunders has been se lected by the Local Journeymen Barbers' Union, No. 132 to repre sent that organization at the con vention of the International body .which meets in Indianapolis, Ind. "beginning next Monday, October 5th. The selection of Mr. Saunders Pon miss it by the barbers has bten a good one and Oscar will without doubt do his best at the big gathering. tr The Labor Home Rule League has secured sample ballots of the different amendments to be voted on at the coming election. Every laboring man in this state should acquaint himself with the amend ments and vote for the amerdments that will keep the working men from loosing their jobs. The dry element are deceiving the people a every way possible to vote the state of Ohio dry. Get the amend ments down pat and then vote. If you don't understand them ask somebody that does. V Lou Wittman, proprietor of the Hamilton Tent and Awning Co., is a candidate for member of the Butler County Agricultural Socie ty. The election will occur on the Fair Grounds, Wednesday, October 7th. He is asking all his friends to purchase a family ticket and vote for him. Lou with his hust ling qualities will make a splendid member if elected. The only way to tell whether a bartender belonging to the union has his dues paid up to date, is by the display of the button on his coat while on duty. A number of bartenders are not wearing their muttons. tr We still hear many comments on the Yaweer company getting ten thousand dollars for driving the steel sheating around the piers of the new High and Main street bridge. A few citizens of the coun ty think that the Yawger Company gave us a big large bargain but there are thousands who think otherwise. U Many laborers have been put to work on tearing down the old Milli kin homestead at the corner of Second and Ludlow streets. The work on the new Elk's Temple will be started as soon as the old build ing is removed. The contractor for the new building has promised to employ union men on the building and as many from Hamilton as possible. MAN AND MICROBES. Human Beings Might All Be Giants if There Were No Bacteria. If there wore uo microbes men would grow to gigautle stature and have in tellectual powers far in advance of those which they possess at present What is more, it is possible, at least, to live ^without microbes. Anyway, these are the conclusions of no less an authority than Dr. ltoux, who heads the Pasteur institute in Paris. They are based upon the result of some ex periments carried on by one of his pu pils, Dr. Michael Cobendy. The latter placed some guinea pigs under glass at the moment of their birth. The air which they breathed was thoroughly sterilized, as was all the food administered to them. Un questionably many germs were able to reach them, but every precaution known to science and possible with the application of one of the complet est laboratories in the world was ex ercised to protect them. The results rather astounded the doctor. The subjects grew with amaz ing rapidity, three or four times as fast as guinea pigs of the same ago subsisting under normal conditions In the brief spau of twelve days they were for the most part a third larger It is a far cry from the guinea pig to the man of course, but I)r. Iloux concludes that the latter, if under per feet antiseptic conditions from birth would develop very far beyond what is possible as things are at present He even hints that, with advancing knowledge, such conditions, if not at tained, will be so approximated as to materially enhance the physical wel fare and mental vigor of the race.— Boston Herald.

The lattest designs of Invitations at theNonpareil Only the Choicest Silk Is Used For the Best Jewels. TYING KNOTS AS A FINE ART. Ths Perfect Hang of the Necklace De pend* Upon How These Tiny Twists Are Formed, and it May Take a Year to Master the Knack. The pearl stringers themselves call it a "trade." They are not the kind of people to talk about art. If they see anything of their work beyond the prosaic fact that "stringing" ia a good employment if is only an indirect and somewhat vague appreciation of the delicate attraction of the pearls they handle. Although not professing to be expert Judges, I have never met a pearl stringer yet whose eye and taste were not trained to a fine perception of the form and color of the beamy, iridescent luster of the jewel of tho Shellfish. It would be as impossible for them to mistake an artificial pearl for a real one as it would be for a lapidary to begin to polish a piece of glass under the impression it was a diamond. It is often said that the little known industry of pearl stringing Is dying out, but this is not the fact No ma chinery is yet invented to supersede the ten clever fingers of the practiced stringer. The industry is exclusive, too, and a business has often been passed on Prom mother to daughter, even from grandmother to grandchild. Drilling and mounting of pearls ia quite a different branch of the indus try. Good llghj is one of the essential needs of the pearl stringer, especially when she is employed in making or re pairing seed pearl ornameuts. All the beads have to be arranged according to their size and then separately and most carefully sewed into place on their dainty framework. For Instance, if the design is that of a flower or leaf the skill lies in graduating from the biggest pearl to the one that touches the extreme point Some of these or naments, by the way, are very old, for if they are carefully handled there la no reason why they should not be a Joy, if not forever, at all events for as long as the handsome, antique pen dants and pearl studded medals of tho sixteenth and seventeenth centuries tha' one still admires in the British museum. Only the finest silk is used for string ing the finest pearls. Great beads, round and shiny, unmistakably artifi cial and with no rtiore real luster than white marbles—with the exception of what are called Iioman pearls, manu factured many years ago—may be al lowed to hang together on catgut, but orients must be threaded, pearl kiss ing pearl, on silken strands worthy of their shape and "skin." Now the art of the stringer lies in the apparently simple manner of tying the knot that attaches the snap. Some times also she has to make a knot between bead and bead, a method that adds to the length of the necklace, but detracts from the beauty of the line of pearls. The knack of making this tiny knot will perhaps take a girl a year to master the perfect hang of the beads, neither too loose nor too tight, depends on how it is made. There is no needle fine enough for threading small seed pearls, so the stringer makes her own out of a piece of wire as thhi as a hair. She arranges her pearls, if they are of different sizes, on a grooved board covered with billiard table cloth, any other material, such as green baize, being much too coarse. When she is making a tassel or loops, it is pretty to watch her hold her work at arm's length every few minutes, measuring its size and effect with her well trained eye. It is hardly necessary to speak of the strict integrity and unfailing care re quired in a pearl stringer. She is in trusted with great possessions, for the value of pearls is continually on the in crease. There are some ladies who never trust their treasures out of their own bouses, but arrange, through a jeweler, for a pearl stringer to call so many times a year to repair ornaments or restring necklaces. The work of the pearl stringer is so little known, so quiet and dainty, that It is doubtful if one in a thousand women who stop to admire and covet as they pass show windows ever gives a thought to the patient fingers that have threaded the beautiful beads and tied the almost invisible, cunning knots that link them to their diamond clasps, The little band of stringers are very simple, but businesslike people in their humble workrooms—devotees of beau ty, although they are unconscious of the fact, and true artists in the per fection of their work.—London Chron icle. Both Played the Game. The head of the firm approached his son. "What was the idea when I looked in your room Just now? You and that traveler appeared to be walking round tnd round the office." "Oh!

TESTS THAT WILL NOT FAIL Apart Prom Rigor Mortis, a Positive 8ign of Death, the Artery Opening and Fluorescein Tests Provide a Bar Apainst Premature Burial. When the doctor pronounces the patient dead, is he sure? And, If not. what tests can remove ail doubt? This question, though not often spoken, is probably present in the minds of friends and relations at every death bed. As death Is the worst of »U1 disasters and no mistake could be more awfu than premature burial, it is not merel\ interesting, but important, for people to know what tests are conclusive ami what are not. When the breathing stops and nc sound of heart beat or pulse can be de tected there Is little doubt of death But the little doubt is in itself so dread ful that these common signs are not enough. If the body grows slowly but steadily cool the doubt is lessened, but by no means removed. Nor is it a sign of life if Rfter dropping the tern perature it suddenly rises again. The placing of a mirror In front of the mouth and nostrils Is a well known test. The theory is that even the faint est breath will dim the mirror. This test is not only worthless, but likely to cause false hopes. Gases generated In the body very frequently issue from the mouth and form a mist upon the mirror. Steel needles are sometimes thrust into the muscles for a period of an hour and then examined. If the per son is alive the oxygen of the blood should rust tho needle, if dead should not. This test^ in actual practice is unreliable, and no faith can be placed in It. Another cause of false hopes is tho custom of placing a glass of water filled to the edge on the breast The slightest movement of the lungs will cause a drop to spill. This, too, is valueless, because after death there are invariably certain movements of the muscles known as "vadaveric spasms." which are often energetic enough to spill the water. Probably one of the most infallible tests rs the opening of an artery. In life the arteries are full of blood un der pressure. In death the arterie drain into the veins. This is a very fortunate fact, as it prevents the un dertaker from making any mistake. The embalming fluid is injected by opening #n artery. Should blood flow he knows that life still persists and is warned in time. Cutting the skin to see if blood will flow from the veins proves nothing, as it often flows as late as three days after death. The ray. when it is available, pro vides an excellent proof of death. A photograph of a live being shows the heart with a blurred outline. This Is caused by even the faintest movement" of the organ. An ray exposure o: a dead person reveals the heart clear cut and sharp. There are numberless so called tests of the eye, its shrinkage in size, the dimming and fogging of the trans parent part and other signs. These signs are not sufficient proof, nor, is the test of flashing a bright light in the eye to see if the pupil contracts. Even atropine dropped on the eye ball brings no evidence. It has been proved that the drug will dilate the eye some time after death. Many persons think electricity ap plied in the form of shocks is a test. It is of uo avail, as the muscles usually respond to the current for three hours or more after death. Proof beyond question is supplied when the stiffening known as "rigor mortis" sets in. Hysteria, catalepsy and other states often simulate that stiffness. Iiigor mortis begins in one part of the body, usually the muscles of the throat, and gradually extend* throughout the body, while the various living forms of muscle stiffness come on instantly and belong to all the muscles. The so called "diaphanous" test i unreliable. If you hold your hand close to a tandle or other bright light the fingers show a certain rosy trans luceney. the bones appearing as dim shadows. After death the fingers usually become as opaque as if made of marble. But exceptions are fro quent enough to make the test worth less. A harmless but very powerful dye called fluorescein will settle all doubts very quickly. If a hypodermic syringe Is used to inject a little of this dye under the skin it has no result on a dead person But if this be done to one in whom there is the slightest trace of circulation there follows at once an unmistakable and startling result. The entire skin becomes a golden yellow and the whites of the eyes turn an emerald green. The effects pass away _L.
