"UNEMPLOYMENT." Some Flarnres Compiled ly Xcw Yorte Lnbor Bureau. "Unemployment" is designated as a rare word in the dictionaries. Within the last few years it lias come to be one of the most common found in the bulletin of the state department of labor, New York. Unemployment, or the state of being unemployed, has been a matter of constant consideration in the last few years. According to the bulletin just issued, it has not percep tibly increased. The following table is given to prove this: Percentage of unemployed members cf trades unions at the end of September. December. All Selected All Selected unions, unions, unions, unions. 1897.. 13.8 .... 22.6 1898 10.3 .... 26.7 1899 4.7 .... 19.4 1900 13.3 .... 22.0 25.7 1901 (i.9 19.1 1902 5.7 6.3 .... 22.2 1903 8.9 9.4 .... 23.1 "Taking into account," says the bul letin, "the fact that the heavy rep resentation of the outdoor trades in the statistics of the selected unions ex aggerates the idleness in the winter months, it will be observed that the amount of unemployment at the end of December, 1!X3. was little more than in IS)!). 1001 or 1!02 and small er than in the other years since 1S0C. In January, however, owing in part to disputes in certain building trades of New York city and Buffalo, but in the main to the severe weather that hin dered building operations, there was some increase in idleness, making the percentage of unemployment larger than in January, 1902, or 1903." The causes of idleness at the end of September and December were as fol lows: Numbers. Percentages. Sept. Dec. Sept. Dec.

He Paced an Angry London Mob and Got Fair riay. During the reform riots in Hyde park. London, in lSOG the mob on a well remembered night began tearing down Hie fences of Hyde park for fires and barricades. Colonel Tlxr.:as Went worth Higginson tells in the Atlantic Monthly of an English officer who was dining with a friend, all unconscious of the impending danger. Presently he received a summons from the war department, telling him that his regi ment was ordered out to deal with the mob. He hastened back to his own house, but when he called for his horse he found that his servant had received permission to go out for the evening and had the Wy of the stable in his pojket. The officer hastily donned his uniform and then had to proceed on foot to the guards' armory, which lay on the other side of Hyde park. Walk ing hastily in that direction, he came out unexpectedly at the very headquar ters of the mob, where they were al ready piling up the fences. His uniform was recognized, and an gry shouts arose. It must have seemeu for the moment to the mob that the Lord had delivered their worst enemy into their hands. There was but one thing to be done. He made tb way straight toward the center cf action and called to a man who was mounted on the pile and was evidently the leader of the tumult: "I say, my good man, my regiment has been called out by her majesty's orders. Will you give me a hand over this pile?" The man hesitated a minute and then said, with decision: "Boys, the gentle man is right. He is doing his duty, and we have no quarrel w-ith him. Lent' a handand help him over." This was promptly done, with entire respect, and the officer in brilliant uni form went hastily on his way amid three cheers from the mob. Then the mob returned to its work, to complete it if possible before he whom they aid ed should come back at the head of his regiment and perhaps order them to be shot down. POKER CHIPS. There are more than four "knaves" to the pack in some games. In big hands, as with big guns, you want to look- out for the recoil. The moral motto, "Deal as you would be dealt by," is classed as the "joker" In a poker pack. It is awfuily bad form, you know, to let the loss of a few chips make you look as cross as if you thought you were getting the-double one. It may be good advice to "bet your hand for all it's worth," but it is a mighty dangerous thing to bet it for all or more than you are w-orth. Novice asks which is the right way to cut the cards. Our experience teach es us, my boy, that the right way and at the same time the only safe one is to cut them precisely as does a gilded hog a shabby acquaintance. New York Herald. A Japanese Legrnd. The renown of the Japanese for cour age was as remarkable in Marco Po lo's day as it is in the present. He narrates the story of an invasion of the country by the forces of the khan of Tartary. A Japanese army of 30,000 men was besieged in a tower. Refus ing to surrender, they fought until all but eight of them were killed. On these eight travelers' wonders must creep in it was found impossible to in flict any wound. "Now, this was by virtue of certain stones which they had in their arms, inserted between the skin and the flesh. And the charm and virtue of these stones were such that those who wore them could never per ish by steel." They were therefore beaten to death with clubs. Making It Clear. On board an ocean steamship a gen tleman wished to help a lady who was of an inquiring mind to comprehend the principle of the steam engine. This is how he cleared away all difficulties: "Why, you see, ma'am," quoth he, "it's just one thing goes up and then another thing comes down, and then they let the smoke on, which makes the wheels go round. That's what they call the hydraulic principle. It's quite simple when you know it." "Law me! I never understood it be fore. But, then, I never had it proper ly explained," replied the fair listener. Tit-Bits. Realism Explained. "That was a splendid back fall you made in your death scene last night," remarked a young member of the com pany to the eminent tragedian. The latter looked at the flatterer with a suspicious glare. "Yes," he said, "and I'd like to lay my hands on the blithering idiot who soaped the stage floor." Cleveland Plain Dealer. , A Cautions Youth. "Bobby, your father wants to see you." The boy looked dubious. "Do I want to see him?" he asked. "How should I know?" "Y'ou ought to be able to tell by the look in his eye." Chicago Post. Ont of Her Line. "So yon were at Mrs. Marrable's din ner yesterday, Flossie. What was the menu like?" "I really can't tell you, for I didn't take any. It's a thing I very seldom touch." v Ordinary meadow grass rarely yields over a ton and a half of hay to the acre, but clover will give up to three tona.
