Gananoque, March 3.--Seripus labor trouble has arisen in this town with- in the past few days and is causing considerable uneasiness. Duving the past week the harness.makers of the . «J. Gibson harness works, who have through the greater part of the winter been working on eight.hour time, and who sre union men, made objection to a new man hired for a certain class of work, as the new man Was a non-union one. As an outcome of this, dn Saturday evening last, Mr. Gibson's employees were given the op- tion of dropping out of the union or severing their connection with the firm forthwith. The men chose the latter alternative, fiftecn in all being affout- ed by it. This, in the eyes of the un- ion, constitutes a lock-out. Following closely in the wake of this, the sixteen employees of the Gananoque Harness Co., Limited, were given the same option on Monday morping, they also accepting the lat- ter. alternative. This, therefore, will aficet, thirty-one families of the town 10 a more or less extent. Mes. Felix LaChapelle, an aged and highly respected resident of the town, possibly the oldest inhabitant oi the town, ninety-five yeare old, suffered a paralytic stroke yesterday, at the home of her daughter, Mrs, Joseph Charbonneau, Garden street, and is in a very critical condition. The Use of Léft-Overs Celery tops dried in a paper Dag furnish excellent flavoring for soups. Water in which vegetables are cooked contains flavoring, mineral matter and sometimes starch. It makes a desirable addition to soup. Potato water should not be used, as it is considered by some to be un- wholesome. Rice water is rich'in delicate, well cooked starch, and may be nicely used to furnish thickening as well as liguid to a soup. Onion water may be used in a vegetable soup where no meat is used. Water Hin which cabbage, caulifiower or tur- nips have been cooked furnishes a 'foundation for a soup when these flavers are palatable. Careful cooks buy few materials for every-day soup making. The left-over bits of meat (which have not been handled or served), the juices from the meat plate, the water from the vegetab- les and the left-over vegetables fur- [nish sufficient materials. Small quantities of raw uncooked vegetab- las may be scraped, cut fine and cooked in a small amount of water. To them add some stock from fresh meat or ham liquor, season and serve with bits toasted bread. The vegelables Should not be cooked in the bam liquor, or strong flavor may develop. Tomato combines nicely with ham stock, as do potatoes and cclery, oysters and celery. Okra $lconibings nicely with corn, or with both corn and tomatoes. may be thickened by adding to them a few dry crusts of bread; them to soften and press through a stuntial dish for lunch or supper.-- Heart of the House, in Woman's World for March. Pitts Old Home Pitt House, Hampstead Heath, the famous house of the elder Pitt, first Earl of Chatham, has been sold by Messrs. Lowe, Goldschmidt and How- land, in conjunction with Messrs. Hampton and Sons. This freehold property, which - has | exceptional road frontages extending toy approximately 1,340 feet, and n total area of about three and a half acres, . was previously called "North End Place," "Wildwoods," and "North Find House." In Domesda® I oak it is styled "Wildwood Corner." i Situated almost on the summit of Hampstead 'Heath, it occupies a de- 'lichtful position, and is very acees- sible to' London. It was in this residence that the elder Pitt, durivg his frequent fits of melancholia, . and in spite of the fact 'that he was at the time prime min- ister and was being urgently called upon by the king and his colleagues, shut himself off from all communica- tion with the outside world, even from his own family and servants. The quaint little room which he chiefly used still contains the identi cal serving batchway, fireplace and cupboards which' were there in his time. Descriptive He was accustomed to drinking straight, plain. drinks. But one day they inveigled him into taking one of those mixed affairs; one of those that not only includes a combination of liquids, but also orange peel, pine- apple, a cherry, and other rank out- } siders, "Well, what do you think of it?" he was asked by the bunch that had done the inveigling. He looked disapprovingly at the sunken garden before him. "Hoys," be sald, "I object drinking a mince pie." 2 to ~ On Saturday morning Justice of the Peace George Hunter will be call- caretaker of one of the schools of the township of Kingston has sum- oned the members of the board for imon- t of his salary. .

The deceased, who was born on Am- herst Island, and not known to have been ill a'day in his hie, was in a cutter driviig the pacer D.0.D. when he suliered the stroke. He fell to the ice, holding onto the reins, The horse stopped, and the late Mr. Truedell, uninjured, but unable to converse, was liited into the cutter and driven home! It was thought that the stroke would not terminate fatally, and his death was unexpectéd.
