Women and Girls III English
Mines.

1t is a somewhat startling fact that
there are still nearly 5000 women and
girls employed about the coal mines Of
Great Britain. In the official summary
Of persons employed in and about the
mines, under the Coal Mines act, it is
stated that 81 girls under the age of l3
years are employed. OF girls between
the ages of Is and l6 there are 433 en-
ployed; of young women above the age
of l6 there are no less than 4,502 en-
ployed. In the mines registered under
tho Metaliferous Mines act there is o
larger proportionate employment Of
women. AT the tender age of between
8 and 13 years, there are SO employed,
chiefly in the Cornwall District !;
between the ages of and Is, there
are 9Sl girls employed about these
mines, Cornwall and the North Wales
district employing the bulk; and there
are also l,74l women above the age of
Is employed, Cornwall, North Wales
and Ireland employed all these except
20; and of this score, somewhat singu-
larly, the chief part are employed in the
North of England, which has been re.
markably free from women's work in
the unfit employment of mining. The
proportion of women employed is said to
be decreasing, but the tact thai girls of
such tender ages are put to mining or
erations, or to work "above ground" at
the mines, is sign that the unsatisfac-
tory symptom is not likely to en-
die ut-San Jose Mercury.

Pitting in SMALLPOX.

Somebody has ascertained the curious
facts, in smallpox, that poor people are
pitted least, rich people are pitted most,
and no class are pitted under their
dress. Poor people have less light in
their homes, the rich plenty of light, and
under the dress there is, of course, less
light than in either case. The explana,
tion, according to this observer, is a
scientific one. The sunlight consists Of
three primary colors The red, the blue
and the yellow rays have distinct and
Characteristic properties--the yellow
gives light, the red, heat, and the blue,
actinism. Now the pus of variolar pus-
tules absorbs, by its yellow medium, the
actinic rays, which results in corrosion
of the tender flesh at the base, and thus

Chinese PianO.Making.

What will the white workmen of
New York say to the latest labor
proposition? A great deal of dis
quiet, grumbling, and even threats,
have been made in California, and
IN San Francisco in particular, be-
cause OF the interference by the Chi
nese in the industries of the city and
State. But, as general thing, the
Chinese have applied themselves
chiefly to all kinds of business held
i'll least esteem by the white people.
Shirt-making, shoe-making cigar
making, it is true, they have carried
on extensively. But the idea that
they would ever be employed here
in labor which might almost be
termed fine arts, such as the manu-.
factnre of musical instruments, has
scarcely entered the suspicious head
OF even kearney. Yet in New York
q proposition has been made to sup
ply the places of the striking work
men of the piano-manufacturine
firms, and it would not surprise us to
learn that in soma form that bud
ding proposition has burst forth into
the full flower of accomplishment
John IS an initiative animal, keen
and shrewd, and no doubt he would
soon learn to make musical instru-
ments. Notwithstanding he seems to
possess no musical ear.
1t it reported that there has been
made an offer by the Chinese, backed
up by a capital of millions, to take
the stock and fixtures-everything.
in fact-belonginS to the piano fac
tories in that city, now at stand
still because OF the strikes by the
workmen, and set Chinese to work,
instead of the striking white men.
Heavy capitalists, representing the
Chinese, make this offer. They offer
abundant security-amounting, it is
reported, 10 three millions-to furn
lsh Chinese labor for the first year
at nifty cents per day, and for the
second Year, when the Chinese will
have learned the trade, for seventy
I'VE cents per day. Although tie
proposition has not been accepted,
there Is no certainty that it will not
be, IN some form. Here, now, is a
TACT worthy the attention of not ONLY
the mechanics, but of Congress ,
also 1t may be the means, perhaps.
OF making the fashion Of strikes less
popular than heretofore. If this
thing is to continue and increase.
our wnIte laborers will have TO work

choose or are able TO give, or see the
