Joseph Chamberlain, President Of the

twenty majority In the llon~e OF Lords
was actuated by .ho same bitter hatred
OF Liberals a. ia ls32. "who were the
pcors9" he asked. "Thoy were the
spawn OF blundcrs of the wars and cor
riIplion of ages of our history; they had
entered the temple OF honor, not
through the temple of merit, but
through scpulrhres of their ancestors.
They were no better than their faith
crs; some OF them were worse, for their
privileges hai produced Ignorance and
urrognncy. The reform of the House Of
Lords, Bright declared, was urgent and
inevitable In the creation Of new peers.
70 pass the Franchi hin would only get
rid OF the present difficulty. What was
wanted, was Limitation OF veto power Of
the House of Lords. Should people sub
init or should they curb the mobiles as
lhcir fathers had curbcd the Kings Of
England.
Bright then explained the manner in
which he would like ~ see the
power of the Lords restricted.
lie would allow the peers To
retain their present powers during tho
,irst session, that u bill should be pre-
.cntcd them, but he would absolutely
preclude them from voting franchise
3ill or any other bill second time.
Many people, no douht.would think him
900 lcnicnt with the peers, but he pre-
Ierrcd u remedy, which, while eilcctual,
would cause the least disturbance ~ eX-
isting institutions.
Lord Chamberlain then read q long
and powerful attack upon the peers.
The divine right OF kings, he said, had
been acknowledge to be dangerous.
The Divine right Of u peer was ride
Ilous fgment. II the lords failed to re-
move their obstinate opposition To the
popular will, the present agitation would
continue TO be- better. lie looked for
ward with eager hope 10 the result of
hiI agitation. England, the chosen
lome OF self governed people, would
never be subservant to the insolsnt pre-

The sentiments Of the speakers were

Six Pairs OF Shoes n Minute.

A cobbler takes half day to sole and
heel pair of shoes. In Grow Hill Pen
itentiary few hundreds of men and
women start with the raw material and
turn out three thousand and eight
hundred pairs of shoes in ten hours, or
more than six pairs of shoes a minute.
The men and women have little to do
with it. Machines do the wor k, and
need only to be fed, started and
stopped; all the fine and ingenious work
of building a beautiful shoe they do, ono
part at time and one machine to each
part. For instance, the first machine
cuts the soles out of the leather. 1t is
nothing but punch fitted with knife
the shape of shoe sole. Different
sized knives cut out anything from a
baby's to q plantation darky's size,
Cutting out the soles leaves the sheets Of
leather in tatters. The biggest tatters are
used for heels; the smallest make fuel
Leather scraps make as good furnace
fire as coal does. The next machine
splits thin slice of the upper surface
OF the sole little way from the edge all
around. so that it looks as if thin
sheet had been pasted on to the solo.
leaving the edges unpasted. Under
this loose edge machine presses little
gutter or channel, in which the mailing
or sewing is done, and afterwards hid
den by FASTING the loose edge over 1t
when the upper is attached.
At the same moment other convlcts
are cutting uppers out OF sheets OF
dressed caliskin. They lay patterns on
the skins and thus cut the needed sizes.
This is done by hand, but the Innings
are sewed to the uppers, and the button,
holes are put through both leather and
lininos bv machinery. The buttonholes
are stitched by automatic machines, con-
sisting. of sewing machine having UNI
der the needle little plate which turns
exactly in accordance with the outlines
of the buttonhole, and stops when the
buttonhole is finished. One man leeds
several machines, starts them and does
not touch them while they are at work,
After this the soles and uppers come
into the hands of one set of conyicts,
the lasters and tackers on, who put the
two together with a very few small
lacks. These people all work like
lightning, but they are slow beside the
machinery.
The soles and uppers are firmly joinee
in several ways. One machine puts III

and under surface of the leather
