A Philadelphia society is looking
after the welfare of children employed
in factories. One Gaze was that of a
little girl whs had been the main su p
port Of her drunken parents. She
went to work at 6 o'clock every night
and toiled at the looms until 6 the
next morning. She said, and the
agents of the society say her story has
been confirmed, that during the night
the arms OF the little toilers become
so tired and their eyes 50 heavy that
often their heads bobbed and their
hands dropped the spool which they
we're putting up on the machinery
There was a watchman, part of whose
business it was to 60 about among the
looms and give the drowsy children a
vigorous shake or a prod with q stick
to keep them from dropping asleep as
they stood.

1t was said Of Peter Cooper that he
was about the only American million.
aire who was a man of the people.
Certainly to the latest day of his life
his heart was with the toiling poor.
His estate. $1,000. 600, was not so
large as might have been expected.
But he must have given away not less
than 100000. Cooper institute alone
cost $50 900, in the first place. Its
generous founder added to it after
wards large gifts from time to time.
He was wise enough to put his wealth
where it would do good in his life
time. where he could see that it was
bestowed according to his wish.
Thousands of children and grown per-
sons in New York have cause to bless
the memory of this grand old man.
A gentleman saws he believes enough
money could be raised among the
school children alone, in ten cent sub.
scriptions to rear q colossal monument
in silver. Meantime the graduates
and students of Cooper institute pro-
pose to erect statue of their bene-
factor. in the grounds of the building
itself. What is remarkable about this
proposition is that they will do the
work on the statue with their own
hands. Cooper Union has graduated
enough artists and artisans in differ
ent departments to perform every part
of the labor, from designing the statue
itself to digging the foundation for the
pedestal. Even Peter Cooper could
have no nobler monument than this
1t will be unique in the world, built
as labor of love BY the hands Of
workmel whom his muniicence edu-
Gated.

Skobeleff has been called the poet of war perhaps it would be more accurate to define him as the military Byron of Russia. A more daring, a more insubordinate and a moro -o1. gina, mind it has z7ot boon thS fE:e of Europe to see for many a long day. If we want to find his equal it is almost neces. sary to go back to the times of Charles XII, for we shall not find him within the limits of our conventional nineteenth century. He delighted in battle, yet confessed frequently that it was not the bubble reputation, but a soldiers grave which he sought at the can nons mouth. He went forth to battle clad in his newest and brightest uniform, mount ed on his famous white charger, and waving his white cap in the air. Skobeleff wes a wonderful military artist. He must have studied the soldier closely to have acquired so accurate a knowledge of his heart. On one occasion, at the third battle of Plevna, he met his troops flying panic stricken back to the camp. On seeing him they drew up and saluted. ''Ah, my fine fellows" he ex- claimed, ''you have fought like ions!'' The troops recovered their self-respect Seeing the effect his words had produced upon them, Skobelef pretended only to have discovered that they were without their muskets. ''Where are your muskets ?'' he shouted. No one dared answer. "Cowards I do not want to command such dogs as you. Come, pick up your muskets, and follow me at once !' and, proceeding in the direction where the Turk ish fire was thickest, he put them through their facings as though they were raw re- cruits drilling in the quiet back yard of 8 provincial barrack. When they had gone through their evolutions he led them against the enemy, and not one of them thought of running away.
