Last Sunday morning New Era Hall
was occupied by over hundred bakers
who had gathered there to mcoplct" the
organization of a bakers assembly Of the
X. Of h. Daniel IT, Taylor was intro
duced, and he urged those present to
spool their issues, and work together
inordor to secure the highest wages
He continued. "Onc Of the immediate
advantages which would result from a
bakers organization would be the redur-
ton Of your hours Of labor. Your en-
ploycrs are well able to employ two sets
Of men, and YOU ought not to work over
eight hours a day instead Of nearly SIX
teen, as now II laboring men unite,
they can get higher price for their
labor but if they do not combine, the
capitalist can treat with each member
of your craft individually, and get his
labor at his own price. You will hive Il
right to say to your employer that You
will" not work over eight hours day;
and, if you form an organization and
Join with the Knights Of Labor, Won can
enforce your demands | hope you will
not rest satisfied till you have induced
every baker in Boston 10 join your
union
James Sumner, of Milton, then al
dressed the meeting. He began by say
Ing: II understand, gentlemen, you are
preparing to enter the Knights Of Labor,
and for that reason have come here to-
day to give you the proper instructions
if Won are prepared to join US. The men
who ret the benefit of your laburS say
TO you, let us go on in the same old ruts.
They are satisfied to do 50; they are
placed in their positions by Providence;
they are your employers; they are the
idle aristOcratic class Now it is time for
the laboring man to organize and show
them that they are not any better than
the paupcrs in the almshouses. Don't be
afraid because you are not rs well cdu-
Gated as your employer, and cannot talk
IN well. Stand up for your rights and
talk as well as YOU can But unless you
organize you can do nothing" Mr..
Sumner also took notice Of the attempt
to keep our organizations out of politics.
said he, "An article in the Hcrntd yes
terday says these organizations should
not enter politics. Is there anything
more absurd than that? And yet the
people are supposed to run this country
1t means you should, rs usual, sell out
your votes to the politicians in order tC

HIS FIRST SPARKLING.
DISASTROUS Ending of Indiana Counting
Match,

Youths Companion.
In early times there lived in Indiana a man
by the name of George Boone, descendant of
the celebrated Daniel Boone. He would have
stood well in those days when there were giants
in the land, if there ever were such. He was
near seven feet high, with large bones and mus
cles his hands were large and his feet were of
extreme size in length. breadth and depth The
following anecdote was one Boone used to re-
late himself, with evident relish. after he be-
came one of the State Senators.
| was about eighteen years of age. when for
the ffst time, / took it into my head to go
asparking. One of my neighbors, few miles
off, had pretty daughter that, thought, would
just suit me.
1t was late in the fall, aud the weather pretty
cold; STILL it was too early to put on shoes. for
those primitive times When Sunday afternoon
came dressed in my best butternut-coored suit,
made some six months before, but soon found
that the pantaloons reached only just below my
knees, and my coat stretched over me as tight
as an eei-skin dried on a hoop-poIe
/ started barefoot, wadinR the creeks and
muddy bottoms till l reached the house The
family were about sitting down to supper, and
invited me to eat. Sally sat by my side They
had mush and milk, and plenty of it. The old
lady who was 6ishing out the pudding, told ms
to pass my bowl ] reached out my hand with
the bowl; but had made no calculation of the
size of the table, the space between the big
milk pitcher and the bowl, nor the width of my
hand. With all my embarrassment, 1 struck
out went the milk over the table, Sally and
myself. She jumped up and went shaking with
laughter, into the other room l saw that all
was lost / saw nothing more of her.
When the clock struck 10 the old lady said:
'Mr. Boone, won't you wash your feet and go
to bedl"
eyes. ma'am," said /.
'Here is an old iron pot-all I've got that's
fit," said the old lady.
took the pot and found it so small that
could only get my feet into it by sliding them in
sideways. But l got them in. The water was
hot and l soon found them swelling tighter and
tighter. couldn't get them out
l said nothing though the pain and anxiety
were so great that the sweat rolled down my
face.
The clock struck IL,
"Mr. Boone, are you done washing your feet2"
seepily inquired the old lady
"What did this pot cost9 I've got to break it,"
I groaned.
"a dollar"
Bring me an ak
She brought it. took the AK broke the pot
in pieces, handed the old lady dollar, opened
the door. and started for home.
l never went there again.

The Womau's Bible.

NEW 1Ork W Oflu.
Very few people know of a remarkable enter
prise that is being undertaken in New Jersey in
the shape of female revision of the Bible. The
work is being carried on in this manner. In a
richly furnished drawing-room about broad
table sit half dozen women, with intelligent
faces and busy pens. Each hiss cheap
copy of the Bible, which she reads carefully,
and occasionally clips out q verse and pastes
it at the top of a long sheet of white
paper. The others then cut out the same verse
from their Bibles, and disposed of it in the same
manner With this before them, they begin to
discuss it in turn. One of these commentators
is an excellent Greek and Hebrew scholar An
other is profoundly learned in current Bible
criticism, while still another has gone through
with care and has at her fingers ends all tho
Adam Clarke and others. After each
verse has been thoroughly discussed
each writes under it what she has to
say and the sheets are then passed in to secre-
tary. This secretary is recent graduate from
Vassar. She outs out this chtalkedof versa
from still another Bible, puts it at the top Of
larger sheet of paper and then appends under 1t
the notes of all the learned lady commentators
When asked what was the object Of this re-
vision, one of the ladies, who inspires and
ries on this tremendous labor, explained that
they were doing what might be called q
feminine revision of the Scriptures. I'VE
find" she SAID ''in going over the Old and
New Testament that about one-tenth Of the
Bible touches, in one way or another, upon
women We wish to know whether the male
readings. translations and interpretations have
been strictly fair to US, and in a spirit friendly
to our sex. We and great many other women
have our doubts on the subject, and so we pro-
pose issuing what may be called The Woman's
Bible On our revising committee sit able women
from England and America"
A we'll known publisher has agreed to issue
the revision when 1t is COMPLETED, aud by next
summer the ''Woman's Bible" Will be given to
the public.

down, with his saber gittering in the sunlight
