N..ional,t, Of FACTORY Employes.

A recent announcement as to the national
ity Of the employees Of q cotton manufacture
ing company illustrates the change which
has taken place in the character of mill oper-
atives in this country since manufacturing
was in its infancy. In those days factory
employees in such places as Manchester, Low
ell, Lawrence and Worcester were recruited
mostly from families in the country towns.
So far frsm the lot of mill operative being
looked down upon, it was then considered
honorab e, and for a number of years native
American girls made up the great body Of
the working force in the manufactures.
Gradually the foreign element was intro
duced, and as these people could live cheaper
and consequently work for less wages, the
native Americans, in the course of a few
years, were nearly all displaced by foreign.
ers. The French Canadians now form large
proportion Of the employees in the mills of
New England, though there are also many
Scotch, English, Irish, French, German, and
some Italian operatives OF tie Armory
company's 500 employees, one-third are French
Canadians and the rest are of various nation
alities, only eighty, or one-tenth of the whole,
being native Americans. What is true of
this company Is also substantially true Of all
the great manufacturing companies in New
England Nor is it necessary to go to the
cities to see the change that several decades
have wrought in the character Of the factory
population 1t may be seen in the smaller
towns as well The Puritan stock of New
England, which has been the subject Of SO
much pride among the native residents, is
fast yielding to the food of immigration
from Europe and Canada--New York Sun.

The pecuI,arit,e. of sta.ues.

The personal peculiarities and passing
preferences Of Boston statues, considered
quite apart from their permanent aspect,
make subject that the Listener may take
up when he has nothing else to do but float
about and look at things Just at this mo-
mert he can only refer to the evident distress
which Sam AdaEis, always so bumptiously
erect on his pedestal in Adams square, feels
whenever it rains or SHOWS. With his ex-
ouisitely dressed hair, quite uncovered and
hanging in a superb queue down his back,
and his general air Of recent acquaintance
with the interior Of pre-revolutionary band
box, Mr. Adams looks very comfortable in
pleasant weather, but painfully bareheaded
and awfully wet in rain storm; and when
he appears in winter, with his fercely folded
arms laden down with snow and an icicle
hanging from either elbow, his aspect is posi-
lively pathetic.
The Listener may just notice in passing
. personal popularity of another Boston
statue, to wit, the appearance which the
stony Alexander Hamilton, in Common
wealth avenue, has Of dragging the pave
mert along with him whenever the snow
covers his immense trailing MANTLE 1t was
necessary, it seems, to provide the statue with
a trailing mantle In order to give additional
support for the figure In good weather
Hamilton merely has the appearance of lean
ing on his mantle, but when the whole struc-
ture is covered with snow, as IL often is in
winter, he seems to be marching along and
tearing up the sidewalk after him as be goea

Laughing Gas Instead Of Ice.

One bright May day of last year South
Side man took a jumping toothache TO a
dentists. After the pain was relieved he
spent an hour in looking around among
the curious and ingenious instruments.
Particularly was he interested in the ar
rsngement for administering the nitrous
oxide. or laughing gas. as it is more
popularity called. He noticed the forma
tion Of Ice particles caused by the intense
cold produced by the evaporation Of the
gas. and it recalled the almost forgotten
physics of his high school days.
He thought about the matter and then
invested 81 in an iron cylinder containing
100 gallons of the gas-ip the condensed
form. of course. Taking this home. he
cleaned up his old ice box of the summer
before and built up the gas cylinder under
meath He made connection with the ice
box througha short copper pipe and regu
lated the supply with stopcock. Then
he provided for free circulation of gas
through the box. and with gimlet bored
a couple of escape holes Then he was
r,ady to test its efficiency A box of
strawberries left there over night was
found next morning frozen solid Then
he gave his stopcock twist and dimin-
ished the supply. That was better, and
in few days the refrigerator was In good
working order. 1t was neat, clean, and
needed little attention. and its cost was
just one-third the cost of the ice that had
been used during the same length of time
the summer previous And this summer
he will run the ice box without ice.-Chi-
capo Herald.

The Royal Family of Spain.

The queen regent and the baby king Of
Spain and the two little girls have been to
the front recently as topics of interest in the
received at Barcelona because Christina,
when put upon her mettle by Providence
surmounted her trials nobly and has done all
that she should have done in a situation Of
the greatest difficulty. Strength has been
manifested in her weakness Although Bar
celona is the most republican city in Spain,
its population could not be insensible to the
compliment paid it by the regent In coming
there with her three children As family
group che and the baby king in her arms and
the two Infantas beside her were most touch
ing. She is not pretty. But she has a stately
manner on state occasions, and goes well
through all that is required of her at great
public ceremonial.
Though generally Of . cold manner, her
emotions on this occasion warmed her up.
Her heart overflowed with thankfulness It

National Park, Pacific Coast
and Alaaka

The Yellowstone park is unquestionably
attracting more attention at the present
time as tourist resort than any other
place on the face of the earth. This spot is
reached by rail only by the Northern Pacific
railroad, the famous dining car line to the
Pacific coast, the only one of the tras-con-
tinental lines running dining cars of any
description whatever. A book ticket will
be sold at the eastern terminals of the North
ern Pacific for S110. including rail and
stage transportation, meals on dining cars.
Pullman, and five days Accommodations south
of Livingston in the park.
The Alaska tour is also one that Is at
tracing wide attention. The rates and
facilities offered for making tins trip are
better via. the Northern Pacific Railroad
than by any other line. The attractions
offered en- route via. the Northern Pacific,
such as q ride through the Lake Park re-
gion of Minnesota, by the great wheat
fields of Dakota, along the Yellowstone
river and Clark's Fork of the Columbia,
through the famous Spokane Falls region,
over the Cascade range, by the palisades OF
the Columbia, Puget Sound, ETC., together
with the superior accommodations offered,
make trip via. this route especially en-
joyable. By writing TO Chas. S. Fee, Gen
eral Passenger Agent, N. p. r r., st.

The Dog Was Net Consulted.

A curious medical experiment was made at
Portland Me-, during the session of the State
Medical association. 1t was designed to il
lsstrate lecture by Dr. S. II. Weeks on the
subject of Penetrating Wounds of the Abb
domen-n A large coach cog, after being
etherized, was shot by one Of the Galeus,
who displayed much greater accuracy Of aim
than the average policeman shows in his
pistol practice on rabid CANNES. The weap-
on was SO leveled that the ball should piercs
the intestines. After the wound had been
inflicted. and while the animal was uncon-
scious of the high honor done him, a quantity
of carbonic acid gas was injected into the sys-
tenn
The point of interest was to ascertain what
would become of the gas. II the intestines
had been perforated the theory was that the
gas would escape from the wound. II there
was no escape by that outlet the presumption
would be that the intestines had not been
perforated As is usual in such cases the
operation was pronounced "a perfect sue
cess although the sentiments of the dog are
not reported. 1t is well to know of the re-
suit of this experiment, since any one who
has reason to suppose that his abdominal do
main has been rudely invaded by a knife or
ball can settle the question for himself with
out incurring the expense of the services of
doctor or-Brooklyn Eagle.

Popular Lecture. in America.

In one sense the popular lecture Is not
as deeply rooted as number of ''institu-
tions" we could mention. but it is never
theless Yankee Institution" We do
not have score of lectures in winter
season attracting crowds of people to ly-
ceums. but the platform is not vacant.
In hundreds of small towns the popular
lecture is part Of the winter entertain.
ment. The humorists are always in de-
mand. The order is always represented.
When one wit dies another takes his
place. Josh Billings was not in request
more than Bill Nye or Burdette is today.
One thing is noticeable. The popular
lecture must not be too instructive. Your
American audience does not yearn for in
formation. A very little substance goes
O long way. and a trife too much will
thin out the largest audience. The popu-
lar lecturer today must be new man, or
he must entertain The average audi
ence does not care penny for gifted or
cultivated man. They want somebody
who possesses peculiarities that amuss,
or whose oddities and ideas appeal to
their sense of humor. The ''fts" are
rare, but it is curious to note that when
found they are appreciated from Maine to
New Mexico.-Pittsburg BGlletin.
