In summarizing the work accomplished
by the recent Berlin labor conference,
Brddstreet's says The subjects con.
sidered by the conference fell under three
principal heads, viz, the regulation of
labor in mines, OF Sunday labor, and OF
the labor OF women and children. In
general terms the conference adopted the
principles that limits should be set TO the
employment of minors and women, that
the hours Of work in dangerous occupN.
tions should be shortened, that means
for minimizing dangers in such oo,upa.
tions should be provided, that restrictive
regulations should be enforced in un
healthy and dangerous occupations, and
that one days rest in seven shonld be
secured for all workmen except
ins occupations which provide neces-
saries which require uninterrupted
work or which are limited to certain sea-
soma, in which case the workers should
have one Sunday in two free The ccu-
ference decided that exceptions should

out power to bind any OF the states in

characterized in brief as a system of fac
tory legislation and Sunday law. The
Importance OF the latter in continental
countries will be appreciated by a con.
sideration of the showing OF the
inquiry instituted by the German
imperial government two years ago, that

ANNIHILATlNe ANRAT.
Every Boy Struck at the Rodent and HIt
Every Thing Else.

Every Boy Struck at the Rodent and HIT
Every Thing Else.
Two or three mornings ago a boy
brought out rat in trap on the
asphalt pavement of Cass avenue. A
terrier dog was leaping and dancing
around him, and before he reached the
middle of the street a dozen men and
boys and two or three more dogs had
stopped to see the fun. The boy looked
as if he knew enough to manage a rat,
but there is always boss for every such
occasion. In this case it was short,
fat man with a very big cane, and he
took the trap from the boy and said:
'sThese things must be managed right
or away goes the rat Now then, every
body get stick or club or something,
and call up them dogs"
Every body armed himself and cir
Gle was formed, while no less than five
dogs were inclosed. The man held the
trap up. looked around to see if every
thing was all right, and said:
''Now, then, the rat will turned loose
on the community"
So he was, and there was rush OF
men, boys and dogs. Every body struck
st the rat and hit every thing else,
while the dogs made one grab for him
and then punched together in fight.
Three hats were knocked off, two boys
sat down on the pavement to howl, and
the rat lodged about and ran under the
side walk. When he had gone the fat
man stood putting, . broken cane in his
hand and his hat on the ground, and
finally managed to say:
''H-ang it! You-you fellows don't
know 'nuif to pound sandr'
''You are liar!'" yelled four or five
voices in chorus, and after every body
| had spit on his hands and said he could
knock every body else's head of the
convention broke up and left the empty
trap in the middle Of the street DE

COLLEGE GRADUATES.
The Supply of Educated Men Not in Excess
of che Demand.

The Supply of Educated Men Not in Excess
of che Demand.
When one marks the long lists Of re-
cent graduates from our principal col.
leges-lists in most cases twice as long
as they were thirty years ago-one won
ders at first sight whore such multi
tude of highly educated young men will
go. Where are they to find places suited
to their training and attainments? One
can imagine some of them asking de.
spondently with Tennyson:
"What is that which 1 should turn to, lighting
upon days like these?
Every door is barred with gold, and opens but
to golden keysf''
Yet If we look closely at the matter,
we shall see reasons for believing that
the supply of educated men is not in
excess of the demand. In the first place,
we must remember that the population
of this country is twice as large as IL
was in 1860, which means that the field
of opportunity has expanded in proper
ton to the number OF graduates. In
the second place. marked change has
come over the postgraduate intentions
of college students, and consequently
over the nature of the studies compre-
hended in a university course.
At the beginning Of this century, a
majority Of the men graduated from our
Eastern colleges entered the ministry.
Thirty years ago, by far the greater
number contemplated the practice Of
the law or OF medicine. Now large
and steadily increasing fraction Of grad
yates apply themselves to the innumer-
able forms of business or industrial
activity which have sprung into exist
ence under the joint. stimulus Of capital
and science.
This signal alteration in rthe objects
which graduates have in, view has had
the effect Of broadening and reorganiz-
Ing the university curriculum. Not
only is it no longer the sole function Of
colleges to turn out clergymen, but 1t
has even ceased to be their exclusive
purpose to qualify young men for the
learned professions generally. They
now seek to irnpart such training and
equipment as will fit the faithful stu
dent for any walk of life, in which a
disciplined and well-stored intellect
and the invaluable habit Of concentra-
| tion are the factors OF success. Such
being the aims and the methods of con-
temporary colleges, we do not think the
annual number of their graduates is out
Of proportion to the needs and oppoF
tunities of our iast-growing country

Hired a Lawyer to propose.

One of our rising young legal gentle
men has recently started new kind of
practice, the first attempt at which was
hardly successful. On quiet morning
young man of bashful presence called
at the Office and asked the lawyer to
write a letter for him. Upon inquiry
the legal gentleman found that it was
proposal of marriage which the young
man wished to communicate to his in
amorata but hardly felt equal to the
emergency himself The disciple Of
Blackstone indited the epistle in his
best style, but, alas, his persuasive
powers were hardly equal to the ocea-
sioH, for the missive failed to make the
desired connection. A day or two later
brief, cold note arrived in the post
office box for the young man, which
blasted his fondest hopes. He was re-
jected. 1t is rumored that the end is
not yet, but that legal complications
may arise as to the contents of the let
ter.-Kennebec (Me) Journal.

A SUMMER MEMORY.

A dusty roadway, downward leading,
Through pastures, where the cattle feeding
Wade deep in daises white and yellow,
That toss their stars in sunlight mellow.
A maid, whose lips are red as cherries,
In tangled bushes picking berries
From under her sun-bonnet glancing
Sets Cupids goblins madly dancing
And while my footsteps slowly wander ,
follower sweeps, the hillside yonder
Seems with brighter glory burning.
And woos my eyes to constant turning.
A wind gust in the reedy hollow,
Where through the swifts each other follow,
And to my new formed wish replying,
A kerchief in the distance flying.
Ipause beside the lingering river
Where tall flags in the ripples shiver,
And hear blackbird's merry calling,
Down from the upland pasture falling
NY pathway leads where silver beechAs
Simmer along the meadow reaches,
Yet, by some unseen magic holden,
Ny heart clings to the hillside golden.
For there in sunlight haze she fingers,
The kerchief 1utters from her fingers,
And swift the upland way retracing,
Loves subtle vision am chasing.
All, surely they are evil-minded,
Who say that Fortunes eyes are blinded
For brighter glance or look more speaking,
Will never answer any seeking.
And in the radiant August weather,
We two walk down the path together,
And give no heed to all the singing,
Along the upland pasture ringing.
