All the earliest spoons have pear shaped bowls. It was not until the latter part of th'e seventeenth century that they began to elongate toward the egg-shaped spoon of the present time. Up to the seventeenth century all spoons were large and closely re sembled the soup spoon which has been in use for the last five or six years, the bowl being very deep. Cure for B2d Temper. The best way to cure bad temper is first to convince yourself that you are not really being wronged. Once you have gotten in tune with the world and feel quite certain that the universe is better ordered than you could order it, you will cease expect ing to reform the rest of your fellow men and thus be saved lots of dis appointment. Conquer Disagreeables. If there is a requirement to suc cess in your business for which you have an antipathy, conquer it, or it will be the rock on which your .ship will founder. Overcome the idea that certain things are disagreeable, in or der that your life may contain no dis agreeable duties. Bend before the wind, that you be not broken. Too Many "Burns Relics." Scotland is becoming alarmed at the increase in the number of "Burns relics." Chairs enough are now known to have furnished a dozen Burns cot tages. Even the well known habits of the poet will not account for the ar rays of Burns cups and mugs that are scattered around the world. Appearances and Animation. TV are products of things we see and hear and think.

(President of the United Mine Work ers of America.) HE American peo- Ie will place the responsibility of tbe miners' strike t the door of the -ailroads owning he big coal 'fields. They also will :harge this great ndustrial conflict to the men who 'lave large stocks of coal stored away and out of which they pur- pose to make vast ortunes. The mine work- ers with entered their into a conference employers in a spirit of earnestness and conscien tiously endeavored to reach a peace able settlement of our dispute. The 'question seemed irreconcilable. I am willing to let the public judge which side is at fault The miners made concessions. The operators with .one exception were willing to make none. We have no ulterior motives in tak ing the position that we do. No man has labored more zealously for indus trial peace than I, arc! nobody regrets more than I the failure to attain it. Speaking for my people, I wish to say that there will be no riots or bloodshed in this strike. The miners are as law abiding as the operators of this country. The great coal strike is on. It be gan March 31, when more than half a million miners throughout the United States laid down their tools under or ders not to resume work until their demands are satisfieJ. It is estimated that one-fifth of this number will soon return to their places. They will s't back under dis trict contracts wherever operators agree to pay wages on the basis of the 1903 mining scale ind conditions. The first large field to sign the min ers' scale was that of western Ken tucky. Operators and miners at a confer ence came to terms and signatures were affixed before adjournment. President Mitchell also received a if & 07Z5CW Secretary-Treasurer of the United fine Workers. telegram from Iowa announcing the fact that 14,000 miners in that state had obtained their demands from the operators. "One-third of the tonnage of south ern Indiana also is signed," said President Mitchell. President Mitchell also received re ports to the effect that the operators in the nonunion Irwin field of central Pennsylvania have given an advance to their miners and that the big Bur-win-White company, a Pennsylvania concern, had taken the same step. "Do you still cling to your belief more than 50 per cent of the bitumi nous tonnage is ready to yield to the miners' demands?" Mr. Mitchell was asked. "I think it will be more than that." was the reply. Regarding the anthracite conference Mr. Mitchell would Fay nothing ex cept, "Until I arrive in New York and avw- i. ; ra bbbK "V . i'i3Uk KjBKl.A'Zr '' -"0 Itt:.:iL.. ?.-': vA fvBJfc.

Write Poetry, for Instance? If a man has nothing good to do, he will do something bad. Sir H. Fowler. BY JOHN H. WINDER. (Chairman of the bituminous coal Operators.) HE situation I re gard simply as a disagreement be tween the opera tors and their men over busi ness questions. I do not look upon it exactly as a strike. We have adjourned our conference with out agreeing upon a new working contract, and, as a result, a suspen sion of work will follow. I do not predict that the shutdown of tbe mines and collieries will be attended with violence. We and our men still are on friendly terms. They are as anxious as ever to protect our property and mines, the preservation and good condition of which are nec essary for their own sustenance and welfare. No attempt will be made, so far as I know, to operate the mines with nonunion men. What the public is most interested in is the supply of coal. I presume that the bituminous supply now stored away will last, in some cases, only sixty days. In other cases it will last four months. No body can estimate accurately how severe the want to fuel may become, provided the shutdown of the mines continues for a long period.. meet Mr. Baer and other anthracite operators I can make no prediction concerning the possible outcome of the meeting." Other members of the anthracite scale committee refused also to dis cuss the position which they will take. It was learned, however, indirectly that the list of demands which were rejected at the former conference by the operators will be modified. Presi dent Mitchell probably will insist upon an open clause providing for recognition of the union at all haz ards. If any compromise is offered it will be in the way of wages. After the meeting in New York with the anthracite operators the re sult will have to be reported to the F Z j&Oj3M5 Pennsylvania Operator Who Fought to the Last to Prevent Strike and Who Favored a Renewal of the 1903 Scale. convention of the anthracite miners to be held either in Soamokin. Wilkes barre or Scranton. President Mitchell feels confident that a stampede will sjoii uln among the big operators. T'.i .ii s: signs of a break, he declare - will come in Ohio and in western nn sylvanla, where the Mg mines of .he Pittsburg Coal company will be run ning under a double force by the end of next week. Illinois is regarded as the field where the chief battle of the great in dustrial war will be fought. The de termination of the big operators in that state is firmer than elsewhere because of special grievances against conditions imposed by the miners' or ganization. Matched on the other side of the struggle, too, is the strong est branch of the United Mineworkers with nearly a million dollars in its treasury.

High Class Druggists The better class of druggists, everywhere, are men of scientific attainments and high integrity, who devote their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best of remedies ana purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians' prescription! and scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but always under original or officinal names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines. They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they, are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of every package. They know that in pases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or over-eating, that there i3 no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as Syrup of Figs, and they arc glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction. Owing to tho excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there are individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles of the profession and whose greed gct3 the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate to recommend and try to sell tho Imitation.? in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations sometimes hava the name " Syrup of Figs" or "Fig Syrup" and of some piratical concern, or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package. The imitations should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. In order to sell the imitations they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes off on a customer a preparation under the name of "Syrup of Figs" or "Fig Syrup," which does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package, he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of physicians' prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness. Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased every where, in original packages only, at the regular price gf fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return any imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Col printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the article'and to demand the return of your monev, and in future go to one of the better class of aruggisis wno wixxseii you wnat Women in Oar Hospitals Appalling Increases in the Number of Operations Per-formed Each Year-How Women May Avoid Them.
