The shawl is to an Irish woman what
the blanket is to an Indian. 1t is both an
ornament and necessity, and is invariably
worn over the head Indeed, 1 could count
the bonnets and hats have seen in County
Donegal. Shoes and stockings they have
not. Since the introduction of the knit
ting industry radical change has taken
place in the dress and appearance of the
women. The work demands a certain
amount of cleanliness of person. Their
black hair is combed and braided, and none
of them are satisfied with anything short
of proper skirts and tidy cotton gowns.
SCOTCH AND ENGLISH SECURE THE
PROFITS.
One feels contempt and disgust ON view
ing the bales of beautiful handiwork pro-
duced by these poor girls, who work all
day for six and ten cents per day, on pric-
ing the same articles in the shops of Eng
land and Scotland, to say nothing of the
United States. The purchaser must pay
more shillings for the articles than the
maker has received pennies. The enor-
nous profits go to build up large Scotch and
English houses and tofll the purses of
middle-men and commission agents of all
kinds
Another bugaboo everlastingly held be-
fore these simple-minded people by these
who grind them down to pittance of Ten
cents day is the United States tariff.
To hear the peasants talk one would imag
inc the tariff was 5000 per cent, but would
be disabused, | think, when they found
that almost as much is extorted for the
articles in the retail shops in England as in
the stores of New York and Philadelphia.
What is needed is direct communication
with the United States. There is no rea-
son why enterprising American firms should
not utilize this really intelligent labor by
the agency system. By dealing directly
with these people they could afford to pay
a trifle more for the work and the goods
ought to be put upon the market direct
(that is not via English and Scottish
houses) at a cheaper cost to the consumer.
Especially is this the case in muslin work.
A large share of the finest grades of this
kind of work goes to the United States and
is sold in our large cities as "French" en-
broidery, every stitch of which has been
made by the poor peasants of Ireland, who
are able to earn at it about 629 to IS cents
per Woodworking twelve and fourteen
hours per day. Some of this work is ex-
quisite and is excelled by that of no nation
in the world Why should not Ireland
have the credit for this work T?

A MYSTERY.

Life held in her hand measure,
And swung it lightly and low,
And she said: will see if my pleasure
Do not outweigh my woe.
And she gathered all stingless laughter
All loves that were lasting and sure,
All joys that left memories after,
All wealth that was wingless and pure;
She gathered all sunlight and starlight,
All thornless and faded flowers;
She gathered the faint light and far light
OF pangless and perfect hours;
She gathered all glimpses elysian
That never had blasted the soul,
AL hopes that had held to fruition,
All talents that won to the goal,
All wisdom that never had saddened,
All truths that never had lied,
All ambitions that never had maddened,
All beauty that satisfied.
And she flung them all, all in her measure,
But then nothing unbalanced the pain
And she said must add yet treasure,
The kindest and best in my train.
And she reached out and took Death, and laid it,
All restful and calm on the scale;
Yet pain, as before, still outweighed it;
And she sighed as she said: Could this fail?
Then she reached up to merciful heaven,
Took down. ana nung over eartns STRIFE,
A little pale hope, all unproven-
The hope of measureless life;
Flung il down with doubling and wonder,
With question and touch of disdain,
When lol swift the light scale went under;
LIES woe was outweighed by life's gain
Oh. strange! Oh, most strange Ifthe measure
ofall mortal days be but woe,
Compare with their acme of pleasure
Life unused as she hung the scale low,
Why, then. should it lessen earth's sorrow,
Why magnify Deaths consequence
To believe in timeless tomorrow?
And Life held the scale in suspense.

CIVILIZING EFFECT OF INDUSTRIES.
"When 1 have new article sent to me
from London for imitation | first make a
copy myself, and then write down in as
simple language as possible the exact d.
rections for making it. The plan has led
to an extraordinary change among the
girls. Finding it almost impossible to re-
member verbal directions, they would ask
for the written, and then found NORTH
cation to ask to have it read to them.
This has resulted in a majority of them
learning to read and write, and in all of
them speaking English.
Mrs. Burnham says the people of this
district are quick to learn and bright We
have seen what civilizing effect the intro
duction to an industry has and it may
next be interesting to ascertain what these
girls do with their earnings. / found in
