How and by Whom This Work II Per
formed i'm England.
The gloves are given out to women,
who work at home, to be stitched-that
is, to have the fingers completed and
the thumb put in. This is now nearly
all done by a recently invented and
cleverly adapted sewing machine, the
needle of which comes down on the tip
of an upright iron finger. Gloves are
not all stitched in the immediate neigh
borhood of the factories. but are often
sent long distances into remote coun-
try villages where work being scarce.
labor is cheap. And to facilitate this
class of middle men (or women) has
grown up-people who come in from
the country to the factories and take
away one hundred or one hundred and
fifty dozen a week, which they distrib-
ute among the women in the village in
which they live, collect again when
finished and bring back to the factory.
These putters-out or bag-men are paid
the usual price, some half crown a
dozen for the stitching. and make their
own bargains with the actual workers.
They are generally supposed to make a
profit of about three pence per dozen;
but. as a matter of fact, being shop
keepers, they commonly make two
profits on the gloves and
another on the goods the sew
ers purchase at their shops.
These people have somewhat
difficult part to play, as they stand be-
tween two fires; but they are most
useful class. and carry work and its re-
wards into many villages where, but
for them, they would never come.
They have done much to stay the eX-
odus of the population from this part of
the agricultural districts, enabling par
ents to keep their young people. and
especially their young women, at home
instead of sending them to the great
town to seek for employment. Having
come back from the stitchers the gloves
are sent out once more. If they are
heavy winter gloves they are sent out
to be lined with warm soft cotton ma
terial. If they are lighter goods they
are at once dispatched to be welted-

the top and the opening at the wrist.
The buttons or clasps as the case may
be, are next added; that done. they
come back to the factory for the last
time and pass the final examination.
They have still a rough, tumbled, I'M
finished look. which would prove any
thing but tempting to a purchaser.
They are now forwarded to the laying
out room, where they are stretched
with ordinary glove stretchers. and
then put on heated steel hands. which
takes out all the creases and improve
their appearance. Nothing now re-
mains but to assert them, to put them
up in neat bundles according to size, to
pack them in boxes, and to send them
to market.-AHth the Year Round.

An Expert Can Dig . Place Of Sepulture
In Two or Three Hours.
''Grave-digging is an art. said the
genius who attends to the sepulture of
bodies at Prospect Hill Cemetery the
other day. 'rll admit it looks easy
enough to dig a hole in the ground Of
sufficient length and width and depth
to hold coffin. but then, you know,
looks are sometimes deceptive. The
fact is that have been in the business
ten years, and I am learning something
more about it every day. There are .
thousand ways in which a grave-digger
can show his skill-he must be able to
work quickly and easily, must not
make the grave too long or too short,
too wide or too narrow, too deep or too
shallow. 1t must be exactly proper
tional and the sides must be clean
shaven and we'll trimmed. How long
does it take to dig . grave? That de-
ponds. If man il an adept at the
business and knows how to use his SHOW
Ell handily it ought not to take more
than two or three hours at the most
that is, for an ordinary size grave. Put
a greenhorn at the business and the
same Job will take him all day. OF
course, too, the length of time required
depends greatly upon the condition Of
the soil. In winter time it takes much
longer than in summer. The size of the
body also makes considerable differ
ence in the work. The price for dig
ging a grave is five dollars. How deep
does it have to be? Not less than five
or six feet-between six and seven is
deep enough" And the grave-digger
turned to his work and commenced to
