This is the outcome of a, succession of strikes, which has stagnated business in many lines and rendered idle nearly 25,000 wage earners. The resnlt of the ballot of the mem bers of the Amalagmated Society of British Engineers on the northeast coast is against the acceptance of the employers' amended claim of Is. a week ou time wages and 2% per cent on pieoe nrices, which is jnst halt what they asked at first. ^ i In the Danish Folkething there has been considerable debate over the proposition of the Danish Christian Union for compulsory arbitration for the settlement of strikes and other labor disturbances. The establish ment of such a plan will, it is argued, prevent a great deal of distress and trouble. A wage scale of fifty cents an hour for all steel and structural iron work has been adopted at a meeting of the Joint Committee of the union and contractors at Kansas City, Mo. The union scale was formerly forty-five cents an hour. The contractors agreed to recognize the union, pay time and a half for all overtime and double time on Sundays. Eight hours con stitute a day's work. It is claimed by those competent to speak that the labor movement of Canada is as strong, measured by the population, as is the movement in the United States or even Great Britain. Today Canada has 1,400 international and federal labor unions, having or ganized more than 1,000 unions during the past three years, and the member ship today will aggregate in the neighborhood of 150,000 wage earners in the Dominion. o The strike which for several days has practically paralyzed the business of Denver, involving nearly 100,000 men and women, and threatening to force into idleness twice that number of union members, was settled last night through the eflorts of a com mittee of the Chamber of Qommerce and from the local tvtfreraphical union. Though both sidat made con cessions^ e victory ^deems to be with iike ' hfEoring men. The agreement prov/des for the arbitration of the present differences. Approximately 5,000 men are now oat on strike iu St. Louis and its im mediate vicinity. The threatened strikes, which have been brewing for some weeks, have culminated and oommeroe^in that city is seriously in terrupted. The freight handlers of all the railroads doing business there struck yesterday[in sympathy with the porters and packers, who reaently went out at Cupple Station, where most of the wholesale firm of that city are looated. Between 800 and 1,000 men went out, and, as a result, there is a possibilitv that the officials of the road will endeavor to secure an injunction from the federal court to restrain the men from interfering with their business if they proceed to fill the vacancies with non-union men.

No Branch Stores Smallest British Coin. In the British crown colony oi Hong-Kong a coin is in circulation known as the "mil." This is a tiny copper coin with a hole in the cen ter, intended to take the place of the Chinese "cash," which is one-fifty .third of a penny, and is in general use among the coolies in the colony. The mil is one-tenth part of a cent, one-one thousandth part of a dollar, and as the silver dollar in use in Hong-Kong is at present worth about 40 cents, it follows that the "mil" is worth about one-twenty-fifth part of a cent. This, therefore, is the value of the smallest British coin. Another minute British coin is the Maltese "grain," which has been issued re cently in Malta; six of these go to a cent. It is such a pretty little coin that it has attracted the notice of tourists, and is already at a premium. It cart scarcely be obtained now ex cept at the rate of five to the cent, a serious difference in the eyes of the frugal Maltese. ? Stray Stories. A Giant of the Deep. The American museum ^ f natural history in New York has just come into possession of what is believed to be the largest whale ever exhibited on land. It is a female finback, 68% feet in length. Its body, in life, was 30 feet in circumference. It is esti mated that at least 50 men could be inclosed within the interior of this gigantic animal. The full grown right whale, which is the species usually hunted for its blubber and whalebone, averages from 45 to 50 feet only in length. The whale whose skeleton is to adorn the museum was washed ashore dead, near Forked River, N. J., last November. Scien tific theory avers that the ancestors of the whales were terrestrial or laild mammals, which gradually be came aquatic in their way of living. ? Youth's Companion, The Point of View. Mike L.

Pope Leo XIII. does not smoke nevertheless he enjoys the odor of a good Havana cigar, and frequently he asks one of his attendants to smoke one in his chamber. "On such occasions," says a Roman writer, "his holiness sits comfortably in his arm chair and a benign smile is on his face as he watches the blue smoke ascend into the air." The pope takes sometimes a pinch of snuff from a large wooden box, in which there is always a goodly supply, and by deft ly using a red silk handkerchief he prevents the slightest stain from ap Rearing on his garments. However even if a stain were to appear it would very soon be noticed by Cham berlain Centra, one o*f whose duties it is to see that his holiness' Vaiment shall be immaculate whenever he ap pears in public.
