Beds and Bedrooms.

If the hygienic principles of clothing
were more generally understood,
quilts would be wholly superseded by
WOODEN blankets. Put piece of WOOL
en- cloth over kettleful of hot water,
and observe how fast the steam will
make its way through the weft. while
a cotton lined coat would stop it like
an iron lid. In the same way the quilt
tends to check the eXhalation of the
human body. For under bedding, a
woven wire mattress, covered with
blanket and sheet, would deserve tho
hygenic premium. with the next prize
for cleanly straw tick, that can be
emptied and retilled in ten minutes,
while it takes q days hard work to
disinfect horse hair mattress by loos-
ening, steaming and drying the COM
pacted sLuf1ing. Swiss feather beds
become odious to all who have learned
to appreciate the more solid comfort of
an English bed; though our hardy
forefathers went even further, and
thought it unmanly to sleep on any
thing softer than deer-hide. Those,
who evinced u penchant in that direc-
ton were denounced as B1re11hGMter--
bear-skin wallowers; and even Fred
erick the Great distinctly Instructed
his captains to limit their bedding bag
gage to q couple of eight pound blank
cts; though general officers were per-
mitted to retain an additional sack
and hope of filling it at a convenient
barn. The healthiest dormitories are
probably those of the Begota creoles.
who pass the rainless nights of their
highland on the platform of terraced
roof; and the unhealthiest, perhaps,
are those of the Silesian weavers, who

ing the alkoven door, as well as the

The keeper of the chimpanzees at the
Geological Garden placed q doll-baby
in their cage the other day. 1t was
clothed in red dress that attracted
the attention of the animals in a mo-
ment. At first they stood at a respect
full distance and hoo-hooed at it to
show that they had not fallen in love
with it at first sight. Then they began
Finding this unavailing, the big one
dashed up to within a foot of the pas
siVe baby, stamping and chattering
but, finding that the strange thing did
not bulge, she turned tail and fled.
The little one was not to be outdone,
although she was evidently greatly in
fear of it, so she held her blanket up
in front of her while she approached,
but she did not 90 far. After while
the big one was brave enough to 90
quite near, so that with a straw she
could tickle the newcomer under the
chin. The doll never stirred. The end
of the straw was examined and smelt
by the two animals, and nothing HARM
full being found they ventured to touch
it. They then scampered to the top of
the cage. After while curiosity got
the better of fear. and they returned to
the inspection, which was mostly con-
fined to sitting in front of it and max
ing faces at it. The keeper tied the
figure to swinging rope. The big
one dragged it bY the hem of it's gar
ment to the box in which they sleep.
They placed it inside and at once exc
cuted Il war dance ON the top. The
little one stopped her noisy sister with
a vicious cuff and drew out the unfortu-
nate. Then sitting on the floor, she
held it in her arms as if it had been q
real baby of her own. After making
evident fun of this ssoft-heartedness, the
other pulled the doll away and deliber-
ately sat on it's head, striking the body
with the palms of her hands. While she
was endeayoring to regain the play
thing the dress did not long remain in
tact. After this they hauled the body
about the cage, up the tree and on to
the cross-beam, and then. threw it to
the ground. One piece of the dress
they used for 4 necktie. and another
was turned into q head-dress, with
which one of them adorned herself be-
fore the mirror in the corner of the
cage. .....

Lace-NTaking Slaves.

A report by M. Scalquin, a member
of the school commission of inquiry on
the schools of lace-makers in which
young girls are employed, has just ap-
peared, and makes most painful reve-
lations of the manner in which these
schools are conducted. In the prov
ince of East Flanders there were in
1910 only eighty-four Ecoles Dentel-
lieres; now there are more than 800.
They mostly belong to different relig-
ious communities, such as the Apostle
lines, the Maricoles, the Collectines,
the Spurs de Marie, and Seurs de
Charlie. The age of admission is as
low as five or six years. In many of
the schools they are taught nothing ex-
cept to work. In some an hour, in
some less is devoted to reading and
writing. Besides this there is nothing
but the catechism. the litany, and the
loom. What is much more serious is
the time they are kept at school. In
general the gates open at $50 in sum-
mer, and at Z in winter, and the chill
dren are kept at work till $50 in sum-
mer and till eight in winter. The reg
ulations issued by the bishop of Bruges
fix the school hours from o'clock in
the morning till six in the evening,
but these limits of time are seldom OBJ
served. and nearly always exceeded.
The effects on the health of those SO
employed cannot be otherwise than
most injurious. From continually
STOPPING over their work the girls, es-
pecially those who begin very young,
contract deformities; this attitude,
combined with the use of chdaferetteS
(foot-stoyes). make them subject to
chest complaints, and nearly all those
who begin early become short-sighted
from having to keep their work close
to their eyes.
This is not all. The unfortunate
creatures, who ruin their health, and
work without intermission, are misera-
bly, paid. A portion, estimated at 20
per cent, of their wages is retained by
the nuns, who pay the young children
as little as they like, and this has been
a frequent subject of complaint from
the parents. A nun who had been
connected with one of these schools
is quoted as having acknowledged that
clever and experienced workwomen
who continued to 90 to the school
could not, by working fifteen hours a
day, earn more than / franc so Gen.

might be four or five to a hundred who

ures to be found either in England or
in Europe. Aud from that time the
builders success was assured.
One evening while the old archbish-
op, as had become his frequent custom,
was spending social hour with the
builder, he said. as he set his glass up
on the table, and began to fill his pipe:
'.My dear Watts, you never asked
me, and l never told you, how came
to gain my upward start in life. My
case is not unlike your own, in one re-
spect. l had certain investment re-
corded in the angels book, and in time
it came back to me. While 1 was a
poor curate the opportunity was mine
to do a great and saving favor to a
youthful, wild, harum-scarum son of
one of Englands foremost noblemen;
and did it; and, in doing it, proba-
bly, saved the boy from disgrace that
might have proved his ruin. Time
passed on, and that boy, like Prince
Hal, stepped into his father place and
lived a new life; and he did not forget
me. He found me struggling to obtain
rector's place, and through his kind
offices l am where l am. Verify, good
deeds, if freely and heartily done, are
as a treasure laid up in heavenr'

Big Snakes at Dinner.

The bic anaconda at the museum was
regaled with a rabbit dinner. A ten
DAYS fast prepared him for the feast. =
In the warm-air case were mammoth
pythons and wriggling boa constructors. :.
but the anaconda alone seemed to ap-
preciate the delicate repast. The
introduction of half dozen small
gray rabbits into the big snake house
attracted scarcely any attention from
the writhing reptiles, and the little
animals, equally unconscious, scam
pered from side to side without the
faintest show of fear. In the corner a
python lay lazily blinking his eyes.
Six months had elapsed since he had
taken his last meal. Around him
were half q dozen snakes just as lazy
and listless and sleepy.
Near the side of the case, in box
sunk several inches below the level of
the surrounding platform, the anacon-
da lay coiled fast asleep. The inva-
sion of his privacy by one of the rab-
bits awakened him. He caught sight
of the little animal and his eyes g1is-
tened. His fangs darted rapidly from
side to side. The glistening eye-balls
became baleful. The folds drew up
into tight coil, and the head of the
reptile oscillated to and fro. The rab-
bit, unconscious of the fate in store for
it, sportively jumped about it's narrow
prison. Presently the rabbit turned its
head toward the snake, when quick as
q flash, the reptile drove his fangs at the
head of the diminutive animal, firmly
catching nearly to its ears. Then. rap
idly coiling around the rabbit, the
snake forced the life from the little
body, crushing the bones and pulling
it out into 4 long, shapeless mass. In
y few minutes, as though satisfied
that life was extinct, the great reptile
began to draw the rabbit into his nav.
The lower jaw fell, enlarging the
mouth to q wonderful extent, and dis
closing small, sharp teeth, similar to
those of fish. a.; q "
Inch by inch the lifeless creature
disappeared in the nav of the great
snake and when, finally, the last ves-
tige of the rabbit had disappeared, the
impression of its body could be seen as
the compressive muscles of the ana
conda still forced it downward. A rest
of few minutes and the unsated rep
tile essayed another rabbit, this time
swallowing it quietly and with greater
leisure. The other snakes apparently
took no interest in the gormandizing
of their big brother in the pit, but a
dozen sleek-looking rabbits were put in
the case to tempt their appetites during
the night.
In another box mammoth boa con-
strictor was discovered, writhing as if
in extreme discomfort. From his
mouth protruded something that re-
sembled q heavy piece of cloth.
When the snake-keeper drew near the
case he stopped in astonishment
''Heavens" he calculated; "that
snakes swallowed its blanket"
That's nothing" responded Mr..
Hagar, of the management, demurely.
They often do that in winter"
But the blanket-devouring snake will
be watched with great interest, and
whether it will be able to exist sever
al months on the nutriment from the
bed blanket or whether its effort to
/ keep warm inside will result in fatal
Indigestion, time alone will determine.

The Air Line passenger train was
rapidly speeding over the rails between
Atlanta and Gainesville when q man
came rushing from field and down
towards 1t. frantioally waving an old
red shirt. Instantly the engineer ap-
piled the air brakes and came to a dead
halt. ''Whar's the conductor?' gasped

ductor was boiling hot. Presently the
stranger arose and said: "Now,if you Il

Mining Boom at Raiden.

Billing Herald. Times will boom at
Maiden now. The full Indebtedness Of
the Collar company is to be paid at once,
and the men who have carried checks of
doubtful worth for some months, will
now have plenty Of American dollars TO
Jingle in their pockets. General Meade,
president Of the company, is in camp
and will look after the matter personally
at once.

Minneapolis Evening Journal, which
was taken from the Billings Herald.
We roget our inability to s%ubstantiate
the staten ent. x few of those Ameri-
can dollars, would be very acceptable

is no question as to the ability Of the
company to liquidate their indebted

working o hardship to every man,
woman and child in Maiden. The
company is in arrears three or -four
months in the payment Of some of the
miners lately in their employ.
