"Working People " In New England
Fifty Years Ago.

When we talk about "the working
classes" we are using very modern Ian
puage, which those who formed the
great mass of our population forty or
fifty years ago would have found it diff
ficult to understand. The term .'work-
ine.people. was then seldom used, be-
cause everybody worked. The minister
and the doctor had usually worked with
their hands, to defray their college ex-
penses; and they often continued their
labor afterwards, to exc out . scanty In
come. The mistress OF family did her
own sewing and Homework, or, II it
was too much for her, called in neigh
Dor or relative as "help." Young
girls were glad of an opportunity to
earn money for themselves In this way,
or by means of any handicratt they
could learn, or BY teaching the district
school through the summer months; all
these emplovments being considered
equally respectable. The children OF
that generation 'wrre brought up to en-
dure hardness. They expected to make
something of themselves and of life, but
not easily, not without constant exer-
ton. The energy and the earnestness
through which their fathers had sub.
dued the savage forces Of nature on this
continent still fingered in the air, .
moral exhilaration.
Children born half . century ago grew
up penetrated through every fber Of
thought with the idea that idleness il

Adulterated Soaps.

Mothers aud nurses cannot be too
careful about the soap they use on the
little ones. Few but physicians know
how many of the so-called skin diseases
among children are caused by the use
of adulteratcd, poisonous soap. An
analysis of several cakes of the pretty
and perfumed toilet soaps that are sold
on the streets showed the presence Of
ground glass, soluble glass, slick, pipe
clay, rotten stone, borax, plaster OF
Paris, tin crystal, magnesia, pumico
stone. oat meal and other substances,
which are added to give the soap weight
hardness, toughness or clearness. The
common colorin2s are vermilion, Vene-
tian red and carmine, ultramarine green,
pot pigment green, copperas, Spanish
brown, ultramarine blues. yellow and
scarlet auilines and burnt lumber. Many
of the perfuming ingredients, though
harmless in themselves, become chem
ically poisonous by admixture. Adding
the dangers from all these to the rancid,
diseased. putrid qualities Of grease

ing. delicately scented blocks Of toilet

At work on the Canal.

San Francisco, 1S.-H. B. Slaven has
just returned from Panama and reports
that contracts for building stations along
the line of the canal are under way, and
that many engineering parties are in the
field. Shipments Of lumber from San
Francisco have been recently made. One
schooner took down 1000, 900 feet. The
steamer Grenada, on her last trip, took
100000 feet, and the CoLinaG, on the last
two trips, 800, 900 feet. At Gatun and
Empire, on the Atlantic side, heavy
work is uader way. Slaven s. Co., who
hold the contract for building houses st
each station for the accommodation of
laborers, are sending skilled workmen By
every steamer. This firm has $50 men
on the Isthmus. The force at present
employed In canal work proper, aside
from engineering parties, does not ex-
coed 200 laborers. The preliminary
work is not yet finished. The engineers
have not established the line clear across
the Isthmus, and do not know whether
the opening on the Pacific side will be
made above or below Panama.

available for this improvement during
the next fiscal year is SO small that the

De limited to the manufacture Of new
machinery, aud the construction OF
new hull and appliances. Past appropria-
lions for the work, including that of
march, 1881, have aggregated S5O5, 1865,
OF which amount there had been ex-
pended up to June 10, 1881, S465. 627.
Ihe unexpended balance will be applied
in building and running new dredges
during the present year, and on the
purchase Of material for the pro-
lection AID preservation CT existing
improvements. The report recon-
mends the appropriation of 500, 900
for the improvement Of rivers, exclusive
OF the bar at the entrance to Columbia
River.
Referring to trade statistics the report
says the introduction of large capital to
be used in building railroads through
productive areas of Washington and
Oregon territories, to make connection
with the eastern system Of railroads, and
developing the coal and lumber inter
ests has caused great advance in the
value of imports over Columbi bar, and
1t is reported that the commerce of the
north west will, in the next five years,
greatly exceed that ever recorded. 1t is
highly important, therefore, that the
Columbia and Willamette rivers should
be kept in nsvigsble condition, equal to
the wants OF the growing commerce on
the upper Willamette and Tambie
Rivers, Oregon. Twenty-four thousand
dollars were expended during the year in
the improvement, and 1921
were available for future operations on
June 10th past. 1t is estimated that
S3S, 900 will yet be required to complete
the existing project, and an appropriation
Of $1O, 500 Is recommended.
