presents many Interesting facts and
conditions both to employers and em
ployes In New York city, as compared
with the same period a year ago, gays
the Herald. Within five months be
tween April I and September I. this
year, losses In wages to worklngmen
In New York city from strikes and
lockouts have been more than one
third less during the same months last
year, and tha losses to employers have
been correspondingly smaller.
In all of the 1904 strikes, except
possibly in the building trades, the
outcome has marked a decided step
towards the "open shop" and In sev
eral Instances the employers have
achieved a decided victory, the strik
ing union men having returned to
work side by side with non-union em
ployes. This was especially noted in
the strikes of the marine workmen
machinists, tailors and the butchers.
In 1903 the building trades strike
was the most stubborn and disastrous
ever known in that branch cf indus
try In New York city. During the
season 81 unions of skilled machinists,
comprising 40,000 men, were Idle most
of the time. Involving a loss of 1.707,
000 days' work and $6,675,000 in wages.
The loss to builders and members ag
gregated more than J200.000.000. In ad
dition to this last year, more than 25.
000 laborers were idle much of the
time. Including 20,000 unskilled work
men in the subway, teamsters, ma
sons, helpers and others.
.This year at no time have there
been more than 20,000 men In the build
ing trades Idle at any time and there
have been no strikes of consequence
among the unskilled classes. In
March and April 5000 masons' helpers
quit work, which forced an equal num
ber of bricklayers Into idleness for 20
days. This was the only trouble of
Importance In the building trades un
til the recent lockout, and this fight
has not brought about a complete tie
up of building operations, such as oc
curred In 1903.

clamatlons as he danced around the
rsg In an ecstacy of enjoyment. At
! sight of Y.'. master Jack's gladness
knew no bounds. Mr. Woods had to
take him out of his cage.
"I wouldn't sell that bird," exclaimed
Jack delighted owner, "for IIOO.OOO!"
Jack Is a paragon among crows. He
shares his master's faculty of being
able to Imitate the cries of all other
birds In the vicinity of the district. To
hear Mr. Woods reproduce the calls of
chickens, turkeys, sparrows, whip-poor-wills,
robins and others and har
Jaek do the same, and to hear the bird
whose natural cries are thus mimicked
respond to both deceivers Is remark
able. This faculty In the man is more re
markable than It Is In the crow, the
throat of which, like the parrots and
other talking birds. Is adapted by na
ture for this purpose. Mr. Woods, will
tell you he first began to exercise this
power of Imitating the calls of birds
when he was a boy on the farm.
"It came natural to me," he says,
"and I thought nothing about there be
ing anything extraordinary In It until I
came to a city, and then those who
heard me give the notes and calls ex
pressed themselves as astonished, es
pecially when they noted, as some had
opportunity of doing, that the birds Im
itated responded to the sounds.
"This led me to keep up the prac
tice of Imitating the birds In what
might be termed their language, and
the consequence Is a peculiar adapta
bility of the muscles of my throat to
the exercise."
Mr. Woods said that birds have al
most a language cf their own.
"Of course," he continued, "any
method for the Interchange of thought
or feeling Is a language; but the birds
have a systematized series of sounds
which convey definite ideas. They
have their mating or love language, an
eloquent gamut of sounds, each of
which proclaims and expresses ideas
of endearment.
"They have their calls of alarm one
cry In the case of the chicken, for In
stance, signifying to her young the ap
proach of danger from overhead, the
appearance of a chicken hawk, perhaps;
another densting that an enemy is ap
proaching In a certain direction on the
ground; another calling to the young
chickens to take refuge underneath he
wings. These calls are all distinct, and
may be imitated so as to be responded
to, for a time at least, until the chicks
find they are being deceived."

absence with a family In the northeast

to him. Indulged In few remarks and
in fact, sulked all the time.
As soon as he heard Mr. Woods' voice
at the door of the house, however.
Jack's demeanor became metamor

erect, his black eyes glistened and he
sprang to the bars of his cage and
manifested every sign of Intense ex

Tha finest contour of a female face, the
weetest smile of a female mouth, loses
something If tha head la crowned with
cant hair. Scant and falling hair, it Is
now known. Is caused by a parasite that
burrows Into the scalp to the root of the
hair, where It saps the vitality. The lit
tle white scales the germ throws up In
burrowing are called dandruff. To cure
dandruff permanently, then, and to stop
fating hair, that germ must be killed.
Newbro's Herptclde, an entirely new re
sult of the chemioal laboratory, destroys
the dandruff germ, and, of course, stops
the falling hair, and prevents baldness.
