ReIfaat and Its Factories.

Belfast has many factories OF many
kinds. 1t is the centre Of the linen manu-.
facture OF the world, and In its ship yards
the White Star ships are built. Linen
and fax mills are scattered throughout
the city, and / went through the great
York street mills, the two factories OF
which cover eight acres Of ground, and
which is the largest linen mill IN the
world. saw thousands Of workmen OF
all ages, boys and girls, men and women,
and noted the various processes OF turn
ing fax into table cloths, prints, cur
tains and other kinds Of linen goods. The
factory hands did not compare In prosper
ity with those of n great American shop.
The majority Of the girls and women and
all Of the boys were ~barefooted, and their
wages were not half those received In
America. Their hours Of work were from
$50 a. IN. too p. m, with n recess for
breakfast and dinner. This mill sends
great quantities Of linen TO New York.
II was making linen for Troy shirts in
one of its departments when | visited IL,
and in another IL was turning out fancy
patterns Of linen lawns for American sea
side wear.
The climate Of Ireland Il especially
adapted to the making Of linen, and Mr..
Kennedy, the manager Of the York street
mills, tells me that though Belgium IL
working hard to take the place Of Ireland
as the center Of linen manufacture, she
will never be able TO do so. The Belfast
Irish linen factors keep abreast with the
times, and they have the better climate.
They are continually improving their
- q ~ rr44 NhA
most improved machinery. Their work
men are bred to the loom, and they feel
that there's no danger Of their being super
seded by any other country Of the world.
Ireland has now made linen for over 600
years. Until 1906 1t was spun BY hand.
Now machinery does everything, and the
machines are improving right along

,,arx Anderson. BEGINNING.

It is true that many of the stars Of the
day have walked into the first position
without effort, but these events are
mainly the result of accident. Take Mary
Anderson's case, for example, than whom
probably no actress in the world to-day
can earn more money and is more Justly
celebrated. She was a Louisville girl with
III theatrical connections Of any kind.
She was possessed Of decided beauty, q
fine voice and laundering after the honors
Of the stage. She played in q few anna
teur performances in Louisville and was
taken up By the enthusiastic residents Of
that section, who regarded her In her i'm
mature crudeness as q wonder.
Mr.. Watterson, Of the The Courier
Journal, took sufficient interest In her TO
induce Mrs. Chanfrau, then the lessee Of
a theatre in New Orleans, to give the
young Louisville girl an opportunity.
Mrs. Chanfrau, who was losing money,
saw the chance Of firing the southern
heart, and announced the debut Of q
young southern girl.
Mary Anderson played Lady Mac.
beth" and Meg Merrilles," and Il was
quite evident that the sectional feeling
caused by her appearance would always
insure her good audiences in that portion
Of the country. So the following season
John T. Ford, a Baltimore manager, took
her up and starred her In southern states
From that time she was safe, and by the
time she reached the north she had gained.
sufficient experience to become, II not q
good actress, at all events less than O bad
one.
But she travelled around this country
for three years before New York gave her
an opportunity, and then II only came
because the lessee Of the Fifth Avenue
theatre could find nothing else to put In
their house. In fact Miss Anderson's
first three engagements In New York did
not yield her a penny. She never reached
the point at which she could share In the
receipts. New York Journal.

THE MAJOR SETTLES IT SATISFACTORILY.
Ruth DAILY, prayer book in hand, was COM
ing Quietly home from church the lowing
day, when across the last meadow between
the church and town she encountered Maj.
Crawshaw. She recognized very quickly
the tall, irquisitive gentleman OF the pre-
cedinC evening, and would have passed him
had he not stood direct in her way in the
little footpata that ran across tho fields
there.
"Good morning, Miss DAILY, he said, rail-
ing his hat
Miss Daily bowed slightly, but did not re-
spond TO his sa!utation.

continued, Il nave been looking for you"

CHAPTER Ill
WHILE THE IRON WAS HOT.

Mai Crawshaw was not in good form"
that particular evening. He had been
wanting in perSpicuity; he had olundered
egregiously, and now, facing the enemy
whose Vaccinations he had come to
Rattleton especially to circumvenI ne
felt himself still more at q loss. de
did not know what TO say on the spur
OF the moment; the real Miss DAILY
was not at all the Miss Daily whom he had
expected to find. but a calm, ~self-poSsessed
voump lady. whom service behind a refresh
ment stand had not spoiled or rendered
Glashy." This quiet being might have been
taken for q lady anywhere-mlght have
held her place in any society, be hough IL
she had had the discretion to hold ner
tongue. For. Of course, she be as
sharp and jerky as Miss Racket when she
began to discourse-an Refreshments stand
maids conversation being essentially Jerky,
keeping time with the money as 1t ratified
in the till. No; he was mistaken again;
Mis- DAYS voice had not an atoms worth
of ierkineSs in it
SYour name is DalyF the major said, for
the want OF a better question 10 start with.
ayes, sir. What do you require OF meF
Il should he glad Of q little private con-
versation, Miss DAILY" he said AT what
time do you leave this placer
Mis- DAILY looked somewhat astonished,
and even doubtful Of his motive for address
ing her. A scsrlet flush fickered on her
check, although the brown eyes remained
steady and inquring. She did not actually
doubt the man yet Notwithstanding that
there had been all kinds Of strange beasts
proving about her path since her novitiate.
The ewes that encountered hers were clear
and sharp gray eyes, that were difficult to
associate with any guile. For the present,
at least, and despite the singularity Of his
question. she could afford her interlocutor
the benefit Of the doubt

FUN AMONG THE HINDooS.
Masquerading Is Wild Animals-Lecturs
ing q Native Christian.

Masquerading as Wild Animals-Lecturs
ing a Native Christian.
A singular thing may occasionally be
seen in India at the festival of the
Mehurrum. While the Shah Mahom-
medans are lamenting in black over the
death of Ali and his two sons-the SON
in-law and grandsons of the Prophet-the
Sunni Mohammedans are making high
festival in honor Of the three first caliphs,
and masquerading as tigers and bears to
represent the wild beasts OF the forest
which haunted the bank Of the Eu-
pirates when the last son Of Ali was
murdered. To this day the Sunni Ma
hommedans and q host Of skyfarking
Hindoos will play all the pranks that are
described as having taking place In the
court Of Timur. The antagonism be-
tween Shah and Sunni may occasionally
lead to fighting and bloodshed; but pre-
liminary arrangements are generally
made by British authorities to prevent the
possibility Of collision.
Some years ago q characteristic incident
took place at the celebration Of the
Mehurrum in the city Of Madras. The
Shiahs were weeping aloud n beating
their breasts in the bosom Of their fami-
lies; but the Sunnis were abroad in the
streets and highways, keeping holiday.
A Hindoo magistrate kept the peace, sup
ported by a strong staff Of native police.
Hosts Of Asiatics appeared before his
worship, painted up and disguised as
tigers, bears, monkeys, and other animals.
Troops Of representatives Of every trade
approached the magisterial bench at In
tervals to make salaams and perform
their several parts as marks Of respect to
the grave and majestic Hindoo magts-
trate, who to them was the representative
Of government, the emblem Of the state
the sirkar. The multitude Of perform
ers was perfectly orderly, playing like
| children, amusing and amused. Now
and then drunken tiger or a noisy bear
was brought before the bench on which
the magistrate sat with one or two Euro
pean lookers-on. To the uninitiated 1t
seemed surprising that the bulk Of the
performers were Hindoos, who had
Joined in the Mahommedan festival from
sheer love Of fun, which had overpowered
all feelings Of religious a~ntagonism.
The Hindoo magistrate dismissed each
| offender without caring whether he was
Mahommedan or Hindoo. At last, how
ever, a riotous tiger was brought up for
punishment, smeared with stripes Of paint
and overcome with liquor and terror. The
| frightened tiger confessed that he had
been drunk and disorderly, but begged to
excuse himself on the score that he was a
Christian. Probably he was some pariah,
who only called himself q Christian In
the hope Of escaping fine or imprison-
ment. But the opportunity was not to be
had, and accordingly the worthy magis-
trate delivered a homily from the bench
for the edification Of the European gen.
