OFFICIAL CONDENSATION.
In New York city, in the tenement house dis
trfcts where clothing is manufactured, there ex-
lists system of labor which is as nearly akin to
slavery as it is possible to get. The work is
done under the eyes OF taskmasters, who rent a
small! room or two in the rear part OF an upper
floor ola high building, put in few sewing ma
chimes, stove suitable for heating irons, and
then hire u number of Ilen and women to work
for them. The boss or sweater as he is
colloquially called, obtains, from some
wholesale clothing manufacturer stock
of ready cut material from which to
make up coats, pantalOOas, vests or other wear
ing apparel and this is brought 10 the rented
apartments. Men and women are then hired,
the average number being about eight and
these go to work on the goods furnished. = q
They begin work usually at $50 in the morning
and continue until or 10 o'clock al night with
probably total OF thirty minutes intermission
for the purpose of eating. They usually eat and
sleep in the same room where the work is car
ried on, and the dinginess. squaIor and filth sur
rounding them are abominable. Thousands Of
young girls, boys and women. IS well as men,
are subject to this life Of dirt, drudgery and de-
basement from one end Of the year to the other.

OF these parents have been here and were
brought here at an early age. Their children
are not much, if any, better in respect to educa-
ton.

refuses all the customer has to do is to write

to resorts where the air contains more oxygen,
and mountains are assembled to breathe the
ozone, which is light and ascends from the
earth.
Oxygen and ozone are gases, and must be
stored up and used by inhaling them. Our
apparatus for storing and giving these gases,
compounded with other suitable agents, is per

they are undoubtedly the greatest invention
made III the last 20 years in any department OF
medicine, and the results are truly wonderful.
Oxygen acts by purifying the blood thereby
