 Mr. Redgrave, of London, has just sub mitted to Sir William Harcourt report on the home-life of shop assistants which gives a very pleasant and some what surprising pie ture of their condition. One inspector visl- ted twenty five of the leading millinery and drapery houses in the West End and he ''can express nothing but approval of what he has seen' A considerable number of the assistants at these shops live entirely on the premises, and every provision seems to be made for their comfort. The food is plenti- full and well cooked, and the sleeping ar engagements are very satisfactory. In one es- tabIshment there are four large sitting rooms, supplied with newspapers and periodicals, a large library and several pianos. At another q fruo ciffipo ba- sides a library, reading room, and music room with a piano. The proprietor of 8 third had just been spending 1,5o0 to pro vide his employees with library while fourth establishment had two distinct houses, each with housekeeper, cook, and the other necessary servants, and also a doctor in regular attendance paid by the firm.

The Boston jury list is said to contain the names of professional gamblers, common drunkards, vagrants, discharged convicts a convict now serving his sentence in the State prison, burglar who, the day after his dis charge from jury service, was found burglar iously in dwelling house in the night time, and other equally eligible persons.

While IL per cent 1t those irjnred from
