An Impor,aut American Problem.

The fourth annual reportAof Carroll D..
Wright, Commissioner of Labor, just issued, is
an interesting addition to the existing informa-
ton and statistics on the subject of labor in
America. The work deals entirely with the
question Of working women in large cities'
The book, which makes a volume of nearly 100
pages, gives an account of the general condI-
ton of working women in all large American
towns, and has q special chapter devoted to
working womens boarding houses, aids for
working women. etc.
Not the least important feature Of the vol
ume is the chapter devoted to the character Of
working women. Original Investigations were
made in Brooklyn, Buffalo. Chicago. Cincin-
natl, Cleveland, indianapolis. Louisville. New
ark, New Orleans, New York. Philadelphia
Richmond, st. Louis and San Francisco. Ia
bles are given showing the various occupations
In which the women In these cities are engaged
and the comparative per cent Of moral and inn
moral women. After giving novel and inter-
estlng report Of his own personal investigation
into the extent of immortality among working
women, and the cause of it, Commissioner
Wright thus sums up his opinion on the whole
question: From all that can be learned, one
need not hesitate In asserting that the working
women of the country are as honest and as vir-
tuous as any class Of our citizens"
Commissioner Wright's report treating as it
does Of an almost unwritten American prob
lem. and in an exhaustive way, bids fair to at
tract wide attention.

The King, how

when he died he
left a will in
which he made an

Mistress of That MnnsIon.

Mr.. Glinter recently suffered severe
business reverse, and incidentally signed
all the property over to his wife. A gentle
man desiring to communicate with Mr..
Glinter called him up by telephone. On
getting an answer he asked:
Z '1s this Mr.. Glinter's residence?"
4 "This is Mrs. Glinter's residence" came
the reply in sharp female voice.

tendents. These associations pay also as pen
sions to widows and children a sum equal to
about 20 per cent of the husbands or fathers
wages for considerable period.
A more recent law requires that common
laborers and domestic servants also shall be in
sured This makes insurance so universally
COMPULSORY that there is no man or woman who
works for wages IN Germany that does not fall
under its provisions in some way. The work
ing Of this legislation is decidedly socialistic,
and 1t was devised by Bismarck to quiet the
demands of the German Socialists. There is
no legislative parallel to it in any other Euro
pean State. Singularly enough, therefore, the
very furthest advance made In socialistic legis-
Iation is under the Government in Europe
which. perhaps, more than any other except
the Russian Government, retains the tyranni-
cal features of ancient times.

Germany. Compulsory Insurance.

Prof. +. W. Taussig, of Harvard, explains in
detail in the Forum the working of the German
method of compulsory insurance Of working
men. which. we believe, is the first explicit &C.
count of this advanced socialistic legislation
that has been given to American readers.
Working people of both sexes who are en-
ployed in factories, in building operations, in
mines or quarries or any similar industries,
and on railroads, are obliged to be insured.
except such as are not properly working people
at all, but administrative officers who receive a
salary of more than $500 per year. The employ
ers are compelled by law to return to the
proper officer a roll of their employees, and they
are bound to pay contributions or premiums to
the insurance funds, part of which they can
deduct from the wages of their employees but a
part of which they must also pay out of their
own pockets. The insurance fund receives
contribution also from the State. Women are
insured on the same conditions as men. If an
employe is disabled he receives during the
period of his disability one-half of his wages; if
he dies he receives sum equivalent TO his
wages for 20 working days.

A FRENCHWoMAN's PRIpE.

In French families in New York the
mother takes more pride in her ability to
prepare an appetizing meal than she does in
dress or display; it seems to be an ambition
of the French woman to maintain for her
country its reputation for good cookery.
The pot au feu, the favorite soup, is served
constantly; kettle is kept on the stove,
and into this the meat and vegetables are
cooked for three or four hours. When
this is ready to be served the crumbs of
dried bread are added to it. aud the soup
il relished .partieularly BY the pliddIe~ apd
poorer classes. The meat that has Been
cooked in the pot serves as q second

ALe..on Of ,he london Strike.

There is one lesson of the great strike in
London which we trust will never be forgotten
by the dock laborers themselves nor by work
ingmen generally. And it is that the drink
traffic thrives on the scant earnings Of the
poor. 1t is reported that large number of
the liquor saloons of the east end of London
have been bankrupted by the strike BY the
persuasion of their leaders the men ION strike
ceased drinking liquor, and the relief fund was
consequently made much more effective for
good. Considered as an object lesson, what
could be more telling than the closed doors Of
the gin palaces? Now that the strike is happi-
ly over we hope that this lesson will retain its
power, and that the increased remuneration
will be enhanced in value by the sobriety
learned in the day Of distress.

MOTIVES FOR DECEIT.

There is nothing in the nature OF women
that makes them more prone to deceit than
man, though there is too much in the cir
cumstances of their lives which develops
this disagreeable quality. In order to look
fairly at the question we should put it in
this manner:

Prosperous Sunday Schools
There If no good reason why everv church
should not not have hourishing Sunday
school. It is all matter of work and organ

enough. And these are ready and often eager
to be gathered in Why is it. then, that SO
many of our churches have starving Sunday
schools? Evidently because there is lack OF
interest somewhere-probaDly everywhere.
The minister does not want to be bothered. or
Is over-weignted already. The elders and dea-
cons want to sit down on the cushion Of self
indulgence. The church members use Sunday
afternoon for nap or q stroll. The few who
attend the school do it because bayoneted
