cHrLoReNs PARTIES IN ENGLAND.
Romp,ne Games Put to One side-A hit
OF Good Adyic


OF Good Ads
Children's parties OF late years have under
gone great change Formerly. when young
people were assembled together 1t was
thought sufficient 10 clear large room and
let them indulge in the old fashioned games
OF blind mans buff. postoftice, family coach,
hunt tho slipper, magic music, musical chairs
and such like merry and romping games
which, with good tea and Sir Roger dc
Coverley danced afterward, was supposed to
form a delightful entertainment But
now all this is changed; romping games
are put on one side. The little boys and girls
OF the present day are too well dressed TO
risk tearing their pretty clothes Children's
parties are miniature copies OF those of older
people, with the exception that some form Ia
adopted, either a Christmas tree, bran pie,
or any other vehicle for the distribution of
presents that each little ono may have some
thing to take home. When all tho little
guests are arrived they are generally enter
tained first with either a Punch and Judy
show, uarionettes, childrens play, magic
lantern or some quiet amusement OF that
sort. After tea dancing Is resorted to, and
the Christmas tree or its substitute ends the
evening. Children like novelty. and any new
form of entertainments Is eagerly welcomed.
Parties for young people should never be
lengthy affairs as It is impossible to keep
them amused and happy for long together,
and early hours are most desirable, after
noon parties from 3 till or TO y being far
more sensible than later hours, when the
eagerness Of expectation tires child before
tho fun commences. Refreshments at a
Juvenile party should he simple, but num-
Der of bonbons and crackers should always
be provided 1t is mistake to give children
elaborate suppers before they leave to go
home. often disagreeing with them and max
ing them i'll the next day. Lemonade and
cakes and sandwiches are quite sufficient and
far better, for them.,
There is no prettier sight than to see a
number of prettily dressed children assem-
bled together, and of late it has been much
tho fashion to adopt fancy dresses at Juvenile
parties, when the little ones wear much the
same costumes on smaller scale, as are
adopted 10y older people, and much amuse-
ment is caused by inspecting the various
dresses and characters represented Juve-
nile parties have good tendency in forming
childrens manners, causing them to be po-
lite to each other and IN take an interest in
each others pleasures and in affairs beyond
their own family circle.-London Queen.

WORK FOR ALL.

a young man writes to the GLOBE in
a complaining tone, that, induced by the
glowing accounts he had heard of this
city. he had left his far-distant home,
where he held a good position, and
came here with the expectation of max
ing his fortune. His experiences has
been bitter disappointment. He says:
"While l am able to work and willing to
work, [ cannot find employment. l
know of number of other young men
similarly situated. What are we to do
about it? Cannot the GLOBE suggest
some plan by which deserving young
men who come to st. Paul with the pur-
pose of deyOting their energies to the
upbuilding of this metropolis may find
way to get a Start?"
The GLOBE is gratifed to have this
matter called to its attention, and
we will take advantage of this oppor-
tunity to give our youthful correspond
ent, and all who are similarly situated,
a plain talk on the subject. If our
young friend gave up good position at
his far-distant home to come here on an
uncertainty, we cannot place much re-
liance on his judgment. The old adage,
Let well enough alone" contains an
immense deal of wisdom. If the young
man came here with the expectation of
making his fortune in a day, or even in
year, then he was again the victim of
a misguided judgment. st. Paul wei

Drawn, but it does not hold out as an in

comes TO make his home among us must
come prepared to take his chances with
the great thrOng of our population, and
must depend upon his own wit and i'll
dustry for the success that shall crown
his efforts. The opportunities for
Inoney-making are here, il one but has
the discernment TO know when to grasp
them.
1t occurs 10 us that there may be a
difficulty in the way of our young
friends securing employment that he
has failed to take into consideration.

a WORD AROUT WAGES.

1t is the shallow pretense of prOtec-
tionists that because wages are higher
now than they were in years before the
war the increase is due to the tariff.
1t would be just as logical to claim that
the advance is due to the war, for 1t can
be just as clearly shown that wages
have advanced in countries which have
no tariff as to show that they have adj
vanced in countries which did not suf-
fer from civil war.
Wages have advanced, the condition
of the workingman the world over has
improved; but neither war, famine,
pestilence, nor what in America has
been as destructive as all these forces
combined-the protective tariff-had
anything whatever to do with this
changed condition of affairs. The con-
dition of the working classes is not
what it ought to be, nor what it would
be if we could once for all abandon the
paternal theory of government, and al
low each man to take care of himself.
1t is the workingman who suffers most
from evil legislation, from eXtravagant
taxation, because he has no surplus to
draw from, no reserve; his contributions
must come from self-denial or privation.
A new era dawned for the working
classes with the coming Of the great in
VentiOnS. Since then, in textile manu-
featuring; taking all the machines from
the raw material to the finished prod
duct, one man does the work of hun
bred men a century ago.
At the beginning it was the fear of
the workingmen that invention would
displace them, and they would be left
to starve.
"Where shall we get work." said
they, "when machinery takes our
places?" They could not see what vast
changes would be wrought by machin-
cry; they could not know intuitively
that new forces, then silent and inactive,
would be put in motion which were to
transform the face of the world, open
new channels for capital and enter
prise, and raise man from the ignoble
state into which he had fallen, giving
him command of machines which, with
out haste or rest, would do the work of
an army.
1t Is not possible in the limits of
newspaper article to clearly define all
the influences which have been at work
adding to the surplus wealth, to the
wage fund of the world, increasing the
amount which could be divided among
labOrers, advancing wages and bringing
little by little luxuries and comforts
within the reach of the wOrkingmen, of
which half century ago they had not
dreamed. Yet these influences have
been at work silently and effectively,
not only in America, but the world
over. What we complain of is that in this
country they have not had their full eff
feet; that under the disguise of protec-
ton the workingmen have been de-
prived of much of their natural inherit
ance.

The editors who have labored so long
and diligently in making the GLOBE the
favorite paper of the Northwest desire
to make their grateful acknowledge
ment to the business men of ST. Paul
and Minneapolis for the valuable assist
ance they have rendered in editing this
days issue of the paper. A glance at
our mammoth twenty-four page edition
will reveal what successful editors the
business men of the Twin Cities can
make. More than one-half OF lie paper
is filled with their literary productions,
and most readable matter it is, too. OF
the 1872 columns of space in this issue
of the GLOBE lis columns are
taken by the advertisers who wish
to reach the great body of newspaper
readers. As evidence of the GLOBES
popularity as an advertising medium,
we refer to the thirty-fiye columns. or
more than four pages, of want adver-
tisements which appear in this issue of
the paper. This is test of popularity
with the masses that has never been
exhibited by any other paper this side
of New York. 1t is, therefore, in a
pardonable spirit of pride we call the
attention of our readers to this fact; for
in addition to printing this unprece-
denied amount of advertising IN this
issue of our paper, we have also given
to our readers the usual amount of news
and entertaining literary matter that
we are accustomed to serve on Sunday.
