rrry THE POOE- GAS STOSERS.—Punch depicts the
police luxuriating idly in the parks on Sundays, and the
swell-mobility doing what they like with other people's own
ou the
,fir4t day of the week,,as a day made "sacred to idle-
ness," in, caricature of the seventh, the type of creative rest.
—but the poliel are likely, in sober earnest, to have a some=
what heavy addition to. ihtir Sundays' surveillance, if the
example of the Sheffield gas stokers and cokers prove to tie
contagions. They complain, in the local Times, that their
only exactive Sunday customers are the street lamps. the
church 71)mA-end the lamps of those other temples devoted
to less spirit4al observances—that the gas used on Sunday
must be made on Sunday and attended to on Sunday—and
that they cannot see why they should be compelled to labour
on behalf -of these threw "old lights," any more than the
letter-carriers on behalf of the social, moral, and intellectual
lizht of the community, on the day of days. They, there-
fore, virtually threaten t s place the streets in darkness, and
the churches al4n, as well as the gin temples, on the evenings
of that day.—Builder.
