Behna Green is one of the outlying districts OF East
London The streets are narrow, the houses low ana
stuy and contain largo population familiar with reo
berrugs and porter the BARRIERS shops they shave
YOU for hsfpenuy, cut your hair for penny and FOR
trae more brush it and your head too by machinery
Nevertheless there are people who do very
we'll There shopkeepers and Landlords who hourlsh
I'm their way. The shops are not very snowy ana the
tenements are poor but they answer the purpose OF
those who keep them II is in this district that the au
fbortes OF South KensingtOn Museum have built
Museu of modest but substantial character at the ex
pense of some 10000 and filed it with instructive oD
Iects of manufacture and splendid works of art The
Interior is light graceful, and complete IN the ex-
treme Its whole contents be seen at glance from
tho galleries It's offices and refreshnent rooms VIII
satisfy the taste Of gentlemen. Sir Richard Wallace
who made great by his munifeenee to the people
of Paris has filed it with jewelry statues aud pictures
in value amounting to than the annual revenue OF
any European monarch. The collection is worth a
Journey from the AnpOdes to see, and it is open Free
from 10 o'clock TO TO- to the most wretched creatures
who crawl about shOreditch and Old Ford The Prince

the souad inhabitants OF Bethnal Green, as contrasted
with the ladies' and gentlemen who promenade HYDE
Park and Kensington Gardens. This the Behna Green

eyidence-nOt defined probably unpleasant-of their
prosperity and responsibility 1t is pleasant TO see that
ethnal Green has some PRIDE because pride is akin to
sefrespect.
We have had for some time in the North Of England,
in the counties of Northumberland and Durham, sort
OF rebellion against butchers. Women dislike the gh
prices demanded meat and they have formed anti
bfehers unions and will not buy themselves nor allow
anybody else 20 buy from the butchers The womens
meetings are stormy determined, and rather unpleasant
IN attend A Mrs Warrior is of the leaders. she
toeraes no ANNOYANCE from any OF the auditory when
she is in the chair The other night cooperalor arose
TO address it, He thought in the innocence of his heart
that be could put them in the right way ana tatl te
formed q cooperative society," bought their own meat
wholesale and charged themselves their own price for
It, that that would meet the case; but Mrs.
Warrior made short work Of the ingenious speaker.
She seized him by the neck and exclaimed !;
owe will have Of thy foOing here, ana hurried
him headlong into the body Of the meeting The
butchers were in danger If they showed themselves and
were utterly unable TO sell the meat they had sangh-
tored ana many of them have had to smut up thelr
shops. Some women, wiser than Mrs WARRIOR OF more
practical consented to form a Cooperative Society,"
sixty of them took shares bought animals, which they
induced good butcher to saughter but on the
day of purchasing they al wanted the prime joints AS
IL was impossible meet their wishes great disturb
ance took place The meat rebellion is spreading III
has now reached Dudley and the poor butchers
arc going into a nervous state In London, butchers
meat Is almost as valuable Sir Richard Wallaces
Jewels at BethnaI Green. The Indirect Claims would
hardly be sufficient 10 pay for mutton for single dis
trict and we should be very glad Mrs Warrior would
come up here and put us right This is great oppor-
tunty for vegetarans The butcher is pretty much at
the mercy Of the grazer but the matter would soon
come right IL It can right at ALL by the people
buying no meat at ALL Mr. Tallerman has gone down TO
