H00D1RIVERJ GLACIER,! THURSDAY, MAY 10, 1900. FlflST 8TRfkE ON RECORD. r ' ii. .-: "m4 'l Rome an4 Took Flaw - i th rt suo a, o. Livy In bis famous book, "The Au Mlatf 9, 30, relates In the following uggwttve words the story of a singu lar strike which occurred In Uouie In tt year 800 B. C. an4 wu probably Cat first strike ever known: Ttoat year occurred an event Httlo worthy of being related and which I would pass In gence had Jt not ap peared as Involving rellgionr The flute players, dissatisfied because the latest censors bad forbidden them to take part la the banquet In Jupiter's temple, according to the ancient custom, with drew, every one of them, to Tibur, so that nobody was left at Rome to play during the sacrifices. Tlita Incident shocked the religious sentiment of the senate, and the senators sent messen gers (o Invite the inhabitants of Tlbur to make every effort In, order tbat the players should be restored to the Ro mans. The Tiburtlues, having prom ised Hot to neglect uuything necessary for tbat purpose, caused the flute play ers to come to the place where the sen ate saet and exhorted them to go back to Borne. Seeing that they could not prevail npon them to do so, tbey em ployed a stratagem In keeping with their character. On a day of festival under pretext tbat music would Increase the Joy of tie (east every citizen Invited the flute players Individually , to bis bouse, and wine, of which people of that profes sion are usually fond' was given to them In such quantities that they fell Into a deep sleep.' They were then thrown Into wagons and' transported to Rome. They only became aware of what bad happened on the .day after, when dawn surprised them lying on Ow carta, which had been left In the forum. A large crowd bad assembled, and tbey were Induced to promise that they would remain at Rome. The right of at tending the banquets was restored to these flute players. ANCIENT LIGHTHOUSES. mob Llffhta For- Mariner. Cocral With the Earlle.t Commerce. Beacon lights to guide the wave tossed mariner to a safe harbor must have been almost coeval with, the earli est commerce. There Is positive record that lighthouses were built In ancient times, though few evidences now re main to us from old writers or In crum bled ruins. This Is not strange, for light towers, never the most stable' architec tural form, were exposed to the storms of sea and war. . , - The Greeks attributed the first light bouses to Hercules, and be was consid ered the protector of voyagers. It Is claimed by some that Homer refers to lighthouses In the nineteenth book of the"UIad." Virgil mentions a light on a temple to Apollo which,' visible far out at sea, warned and guided mariners. The Co lossus at Bhodes, erected about' 300 B. C, Is said' to have shown a signal light from Its uplifted band. The oldest towers known were built by the Libyans In lower Egypt. They were temples also, and the lightkeeper priests taught pilotage, hydrography and' navigation. The famous tower on the Isle of Pharos at Alexandria, built about 285 B. C Is the first lighthouse of undoubted .record. This tower, con structed by' Sostratus, the architect, was square 16 plfln,. of -great height and built In offsets; An open brazier at the top of the tower contained the fuel for the light. At Dover and Boulogne, on either side of the English channel, were ancient lighthouses built by tbe Ro mans. But the lighthouse at Coruna, Spain, built In the reign of Trajan and reconstructed In 1G34, Is believed to be the oldest existing jlghthouse. Tho Hinmliif Bird Flower. Alletedo avaslsls, the wonderful so called "bumming bird flower" of tbe plains of eastern Turkey .-.stands unique and alone among the many specimens of floral mimicry that have been classi fied by modern botanists. It Is a beau tiful blossom of. variegated hues, tbe to tal length of, the entire flower being bout one and three-quarter Inches. As one might Imagine from Its name, It Is an exact Image of a miniature hum ming bird. The breast Is green, the wings deep rose color, the throat yel low and the head and. beak almost pure black. Tbe only particular In which It Is not a perfect bird Is tbat the stem gives It tbe appearance of having but a single leg and.foot Ibcobstvoii. A clerical correspondent of one of tbe London church, papers relates tbat a certain prelate bad great difficulty In suppressing bis laughter at the .conse cration of a church the other (Jjiy ow ing to tbe device on one of' the school banners which were carried In tbe pro cession befrsj the-service.'

MENTAL ATTirODET"-" It Baa Much to Do With "Wtaalaaj Success la LIfo, The mental attitude which we al ways hold toward our work or. our aim has everything to do with what we may accomplish. If you go to your work with the attitude of a slave who goes lashed to his tusk and see in It only drudgery; If you work without hope, seeing no future In what you are doing beyond getting a bare living; If you see no light ahead, nothing, but poverty, deprivation and hard work all your life; if you think tbat you were destined to such a bard life, you cannot expect anything else than tbat which you look for. If, on tbe other hand, no matter bow poor you may be today, you can see a better future; If you believe that some day you are going to rise out of bum drum work, that you are going to get up out of the basement of life Into tbe drawing room, whero beauty, comfort and Joy await you; if your ambition Is clean cut and you keep your eye stead ily npon the goal which you hope to reach and feel confident that you have the ability to attain It, you will accom plish something worth while, The di rection of your effort will follow your eye. If that looks up as well as on, you will climb. That one quality of holding persist ently the faith in themselves and nev er allowing anything to weaken tbe be lief that somehow they would accom plish what they undertook has been the underlying principle, of all great achievers. The great majority of men and women who have given civilization a great . uplift started poor and for many dark years saw no hope of ac complishing their ambition, but they kept on working and believing that somehow a way would be opened. Think of what this attitude of hopeful ness and faith has done for the world's great Inventors how most of them plodded on through many years of dry, dreary drudgery before the light came, and the light would Lever have come but for their faith, hope and persistent endeavor. What If they had listened to their advisers! Even those who loved them tried to beg them to give up the fool ishness of coining their lives Into that which would never be practical or use ful. We are enjoying today thousands of blessings, comforts and conveniences which have been bequeathed us by those resolute souls who were obliged often to turn a deaf ear to the plead ings of those they loved best as they struggled on amid want and woe for many years. Success. CHRISTMAS. Negroes consider Christmas day the best In tbe year for a wedding. Christmas was first celebrated as a feast of the Christian church about the year 190 A. D. At Culdaff, In Ireland, the game of kamman, a sort of hockey, Is played on Christmas day. A leaf from Christmas decorations Is preserved in Yorkshire as. a remedy against toothache. Scottish servants each endeavor to be the first to draw water from the well on Christmas morning. It Is an old Irish superstition that gold should not be paid away on Christmas day nor silver lent. Christmas day at Cape Town is usual ly celebrated with picnics. The tem perature averages 82 degrees. On Christmas morning in Norway very gateway, gable or barn door la decorated with a sheaf of corn fixed on a tall pole In order that the birds may eat from It their Christmas dinner. To Hake a Canary Sine Generally any kind of soft, sibilant noise will tempt a bird to sing. A ca nary hung In a kitchen will usually start bis song tf he hears, say, the friz zling of a frying pan. We utilize spe cial devices to tempt the shy singer, who Is perhaps rendered the more bash ful by finding himself In novel sur roundings. For this purpose we em ploy whistles and song organs, which artificially reproduce the "tours" of the roller. This latter method Is found to be irresistible when all other plans have failed. The bird feels apparently tbat be Is being challenged and forthwith responds to the challenge by pouring forth the best of bis song. London Post Vnlcaa. Vulcan, tbe god of ancient black smiths and metal workers, was lame In consequence of a pretty hard fall he had In his early days. Jupiter and Juno bad a row, and Vulcan sided with his mother against the old gen tleman, who promptly kicked him out of heaven. He fell for a whole day and lighted on the Island of Lemnos, broke his leg and received as severe a shaking up as though he had tumbled down an elevator shaft, sculaplus set his leg, but having only Just receiv ed a diploma did a poor Job, and for long time Vulcan went on a crutch. - ,' fj.

Many times women call on their famllj physicians, suffering, as they Imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from heart disease, another from liver or kidney disease, another from nervous exhaustion or prostration, another with pain here and there, and in this way they all present alike to themselves and llieir easy-going and Indifferent, or over-busv doctor, sep arate and distinct diseases, for which he, assuming them to he such, prescribes his pills and potions. In reality, they are all only fymvttmu caused by some uterine disease. The physician, ignorant of the rati of suffering, encourages this prac tice until large bills are made. The suf fering patient gets no better, but probably worse, by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complications. A proper medicine like Or. l'ierce's Fa vorite Prescription, directed to Uie caum would have entirely removed the disease, thereby dispelling all those distressing symptoms, and instituting comfort in stead of prolonged misery. It has been well said, that "a disease known is half cured." Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is a scientific medicine, carefully devised by an experienced and .skillful physician, and adapted to woman's delicate system. It is made of native medicinal roots and is perfectly harmless In Its effects in any rendition of the nyiitem. As a powerful Invigorating tonic "Fa vorite Prescription " imparts strength to the whole system and to the organs dis tinctly feminine In particular. For over worked, "worn-out." "run-down," debili tated teachers, milliners, dressmakers, seamstresses, "shop girls," house-keepers, nursing mothers, ana feeble women gen erally, l)r. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is the greatest earthly boon, being un equuled as an appetizing cordial and re storative tonic. As a soothing and strengthening nerv ine "Favorite Prescription " is unequaled and ls.invaluable in allaying and sub duing nervous excitability, irritability, nervous exhaustion, nervous prostration, neuralgia, hysteria, spasms, chorea. St. Vitus's dunce, and other distressing, nerv ous symptoms commonly attendant upon functional and organic disease of the uterus. It induces refreshing sleep and relieves mental anxletv and despondency. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets invigorate the stomach, liver and bowels. One to three a dose. Litsy to take as candy.
