Ten Hours in Massachusetts,.

On the question Of q ten-hour law, the
Boston Herold say editorially
Having passed the ordeal Of debate
and survived the attempts to strangle it
with amendments in the Senate, the ten
hour law now awaits the action of the
House. The bill is not Just what its friends
would have liked, but it Ia so doubtful
whether anything better could possibly be
secured that they will strive to obtain the
Affirmative vote Of the House upon it as it
now stands, rather than ask the defeat Of
better bill in the Senate. The bill limits
the hours Of labor for women, and for
minors under eighteen years Of age EN-
plOyed In our manufacturing establish
ments, to sixty hours q week, or an aver
age OF ten hours day for any portion of
. week. 1t Is not to be expected that even
this modified bill will 60 through the
House without strong opposition and an
efoSt to kill it, if not directly, by amend
ments that will produce disagreement be-
tween the two branches, and thus effect
same result. The true course for the friends
of the bill seems to be TO insist upon its
passage m it stands. There is no need Of
long speeches. The question is well enough
understood. A members vote In better
assurance Of Lis position than a dozen
speeches. The matter has been thorough
" discussed, in and out Of the State House,
and oratory will not change the merits q
the case. While there il much foolish taIk

st. Crispn.

From the Ontario Workman.
The following historical sketch of the
patron of the shoemakers, which we find
in an British exchange, will, we are sure,
be read with interest by members of other
organizations than the Knights of st.
Crispin
st. Crispin is the patron saint Of shoe
makers. The name Of St. Crispin is in
the Church of England calendar. Crispin
and Crispinian are said to have been two
Roman youths of good birth, brothers,
who, in the third century, went as Chris
tian missionaries to France, and preached
for some time at Soissons. In imitation
Of St. Paul, they supported themselves by
working at the trade Of the shoemaker by
night, while they preached during the day.
They we're successful III converting the
people to Christianity, until arrested in
their course by Recitus Varrius, governor
lnder the Emperor Maximillian Hercules
Butler, in his Lives Of the Saints, ="
says, They were victorious over this
most lnhuman Judge by the patience and
consistency with which they bore the most
cruel tOrmen 8, and finished their course
by the sword, about the year 2S7." The
two young martyrs were of course canon
lied, and splendid church was built 20
their honor at Soissons, in the sixth
century. The shoemaker craft, through
out the whole Christian world, from an
early period, regarded Crispin, and Cris-
pinian, as their patron saints, but particu-
larly the first. They often celebrate the
day set apart for these saints in the calen-
dar with professions, in which Crispin,
Crispinian, an Indian prince, and some
other personages who tradition has associ-
ated with their history. are represented in
splendid antique dresses. Sometimes, a
coronation is a part Of this ceremony, for
there is a notion that he was royal per
sonage, and hence we find the shoemakers,
in Scotland at least, assuming for their
arms a leather knife surmounted by a
crown, and styling themselves the royal
craft

beautiful girl gave him his first desire TO be
somebody; made him determined to rise
in the world. He is now salesman in the

that he entered M errand boy; but he has
not done all this without Q struggle. . 1t
was hard work the first year or two; the
unaccustomed labor, and sneers OF his
loafer friends, made it sometimes seem as
though he must fail, and 60 back to the old
way. But always when he was ready to
give mp, there came to him q vision of
beautiful girl in white, standing in the
lighted doorway Of an elegant dwelling,
looking out into the darkness after him as
he went away, and he heard her say, j
hope to see you again, sometime. And
the same feeling of determination that she
should see him, and should not be ashamed
of him, come upon him and he was strong
again. And as he sits there musing to-
night, he gives her the credit for all he has
done. He is thinking, too, of the great
debt he owes her, and how he can cancel
some of 1t; and, at last concludes that he
will do what lies in his power to help the
destitute; that he will take some poor boy
from the mud of the gutter, and set him
on his feet on dry land, and that after
this, every Christmas night, he will set
supper table for the poor.
Another five years, and again there is
gathering in the Fifth Avenue dwelling.
This time it is wedding reception. The
party is very brilliant, and the wedding
great success Both parties are very
wealthy, and so the world says it is good
match But the two who are most inter
ested, are standing apart from the rest, in
the conservatory. Nellie, dear do you
remember this night ten years agol 1t is
you, (under God) who have made me what
am. Ten years ago, when looked back
and saw you looking out into the darkness
after me, determined to be somebody;
to fit myself to come back and stanC in
the light with you; and, God helping me,
am here !; my mother and sister happy;
and you, my cife And, as she laid her
head upon his shoulder, she whispered
softly, "Cast thy bread upon the waters,
and thou shalt find it after many days."

Hints to Writers.

l. Be brief This is the age of tele-
graphs and stenography.
q Be pointed. Don't write all round a
subject without hitting it.
g. State facts, but don't stop to moral
ize-its drozy business. Let the reader do
his own dreaming.
4. Eschew prefsces. Plunge at once in
to your subject, like a swimmer into cold
water.
8. Condense. Make sure that you real
ly have an idea, and then record it into
the shortest possible terms. We want
thoughts in their quintessence.
6. Avoid all high-fown language the
plain Anglo Saxon words are the best.
Never use stills when legs will do just az
well.
Z. Write legibly. Don't let your manu-
script look like the tracks of spider, halt
drowned in ink. We shan't mistake any
one for genius though he write as. crab

HOSPITAL PFATrNG ANN VENTILATION
Efficient ventllAL4OA aIIu uniform warm
ing, with economy in outlay, and in main
tenance, are the great desiderata in all
hospitals. One Of the best methods Of re-
alizlng these, as claimed to have been
proved in some Of the most important
hospitals in Europe, is the German plan,
in which the fresh air is propelled along an
air cnannel, by the operation Of suitable
fan, into an air chamber containing a
warming apparatus, where it is warmed
and moistened, and whence it is distribu-
ted over the building An thermometer
and q dynamometer, placed before the
fan, indicate, at any moment, the exact
amount of air supplied to the building.
The amount in the hospitals is 2, 200 cubic
feet (minimum) an hour per he'd, but it ID
capable Of being doubled. This quantity
Of air is furnished without any perceptible
draft, and the thermometer in the wards
indicate . constant temperature 81 60 deg.
Fab. In summer, the air is cooled, and II
is warmed in winter. The vitiated air es-
capes through hues, each having free
access to the external air. The warming
apparatus utilities the heat Of the waste
smoke the warm baths and yapor baths
are also supplied BY the waste steam and
the small engine which works the fan.
