Mr. Hears attempt to hold an evening session
of the Senate yesterday was defeated by Dem
ocratic trick which has been made familiar by
Democratic practice in the House. The mem
bcrs of the minority refused to vote, and the
ro!l-call consequently showed the presence OF
less than quorum. No step forward has yet
been made with the Election bill, the long
winded Democratic speeches being seemingly
as far as ever from a termination. In the cir
cumstances the duty of the Republicans Is so
plain that none can fail to see it unless they
wfully close their eyes.

Labrador in Winter.

If there be anything like social or
home life in Labrador it exists eXclus-
lively in the long frozen night of the win
ter. Then the entire inhabitants retire
from the bowling coast to winter quar-
ters within the trifling shelter of spruce
forests and protecting river crags, and
from their burrows of sod and huts of ice
sally forth in their sledges or cometiques
to visit" each other in their storm-Swept
settlements for distances of hundreds of
miles. These tri ps are made over the
glistening snow at the rate of sixty to
one hundred miles day, by the aid of
their gaunt and ferocious dogs, which
are kept in submission by that cruellest
and deadliest of all drivers scourges, the
Esquimau whip. Its handle is not foot
length and the drivers are so skilled in
its use that piece can be struck out of
"leader" or guide" dogs ear at dis
tance of from thirty to forty feet
These dogs, fully $50 of which saw
at Hopedale, are simply species of
partly domesticated wolves. They are
fed on fish once each day. In the sum-
mer they are sources of endless terror
about the coast settlements; but life
would be impossible here without their
use in winter. These visiting tours are
marked by the most prodigal hospitality;
and good deal of rude pleasure, indeed,
all these far away humans in any man
ner secure, is enjoyed. But Labradorian
life is an endless round of inane sodden
fruitlessness at best. The summer is
passed in scourgng effort for winters
provision. Winter brings its struggle to
prevent death by cold and hunger,
These human animals seem simply born
to exist, be robbed, and to die. One
turns from the slightest glimpse of land
and people heartsick from irrevocability
of the hopelessness of both Labrador
can never be else than what jacques
Cartier truly termed it in 1884, "the land
given to Cain. y Edgar l.. Wakeman.

WOMEN BLACKSMITHS.
Hard Lot of the Female Toilers at the
Anvil in England.

Hard Lot of the Female Toilers at the
Anvil in England.
From Birmingham, says Mrs Leonora
Barry, in the PittSburg Commercial, l
went on about 10 miles to Dudley, or
what is known as the Black Country,
and it is rightly named. Both in appear
ance and the conditions of its people a
blacker, more dreary life could not be
conceived. 1t is the property of Lord
Dudley. The ill-fated Johnstown, of
Pennsylvania, did not present more
pitiful appearance after its fearful disas-
ter than does this landed property of
lord. The country is divided into little
hamlets bearing such burlesque names
as Thibbett's Gardens, Cinder Bank,
Primrose Hill, Netherton Ruins very
appropriately, Crodley-Heath. etc.
A description of one of these places
will suffice for all. Thibbett's Gardens
is miserable, grimy, dirty path, with
little novels built along its one foul
smelling street, over which all sewage
matter from roof and kitchen has cut
little bitches. At the back of every
dwelling, and included as part of the
rent, is a forge with fireplace sufficient
for one or more anvils. Here, at these
anvils, the women and children of this
poverty-stricken locality stand day after
day, until months roll into years, and
years into lifetime, swinging hammer
and tongs, welding into every link Of
chain their health, comfort, and happi-
ness. The doleful sound of the hammer
and anvil used by the mothers is welded
into every nerve and fiber of the unborn
babe, and after it's birth it is lulled to
sleep by the same mournful cadence, and
its little body rests on the big bellows or
swings in the rude cradle that hangs
from the rafters.
Nails, such as are used in the bottoms
of ships, hobnails for heels and soles of
shoes, and chains of different sizes. Nos.

women, some of whom are 60 years old.
The iron rod is brought from the fac
tories in coils, and the women have to
straighten it out preparatory to using.
They get 1l2 pounds of iron rod at a
batch. They are allowed s pounds for
waste, and must be accountable for the
balance.
Chainmakers, by working steadily,
make 1s pence per day, which equals 36
cents American money. The rent of
house of rooms, with forge and 2 an
wills, is 2 shillings 8 pence per week (66
cents) One good woman, of whom the
clergyman who accompanied us spoke
very highly, said she had lived in one
house and worked at one forge for II
years, and in that time no repairs had
been made, except such as were paid out
of her own earnings. The husbands and
fathers of these chain and nail making
women are miners, working for such
miserable pittance that it is absolutely
necessary for the mother, wife, and daugh-
ter to live this cruel life.

IN TWENTY-SIX HOURS.
The Time in Which a Russian Inventor
Hopes to Cross the a Atlantic.

While a number of American inven-
tors are working on the problem of pro-
ducing four-day Liverpool packet, and
are spending sums of money said to
amount to hundreds of thousands of dol
lars III their experiments, Russian in
ventor is at work on plan by which he
hopes to cross the Atlantic from Queens
town to Sandy Hook, in twenty-six
hours. To nautical men the proposition
sounds absurd, but since things quite as
wonderful as that have come to pass,
the plan is worth consideration. Per-
haps. if not good Liverpool packet, his
ship might make good torpedo boat.
The name of the inventor is Leonie
Apostoloff, a Cossack engineer in the
regular Russian army. Having ex-
planned his plans to the War Depart
ment, he was allowed to take vacation
OF three years in which to perfect his in
Ventlon. He thereupon went to Mar
sailles, where the climate favors nautical
experiments more than it does in st.
Petersburg. Here he is building his
boat. He calls it the Bateau Plongeur,
Its model is that of a spindle, sharp at
both ends. 1t is twenty-ei- metres
long, and three and half metres in di-
ameter in the middle. 1t consists essen
TALLY of an inner and outer shell, the
outer shell revolving around the inner
one on journals fitted at each end of a
horizontal shaft that runs through the
axis of the spindle.
Beginning at point near the bow and
txUi f1a oh 10
a blade perpendicular to the axis of the
spindle, very much like the thread of
screw. AS the outer shell revolves, this
screw thread will worm the craft through
the water. To drive the craft he uses
an electric motor, with storage system
of his own. Electricity will, of course,
light the craft AT each end of the boat
and around the center are belts and
bulrs-eyes through which the light will
shine, but for what purpose is not evil
dent. That the glass would be useful
when on the surface is plain enough.
The boat is steered with tishtail rudders
horizontal and vertical. To CORE
spondent who asked him about his in
vention Mr.. Apostolof said:
MY boat will travel from eighty to
120 knots an hour-eighty OH the sur
face of the sea, and 120 at full speed
under water, l have applied to naviga-
ton the spiral principal, that is all The
value of this principal is seen in many
places. Why does snake swim faster
than any fish? Because it twists itself
through the water. Force by force, a
screw is driven into piece of wood
quicker than a nail. The projectile of
an old smooth bore musket travelled
perhaps hundred yards with a certain
trajectory. The modern rifle sends
projectile twisting through the air to
ten times the distance

Style in Montevideo.

The women of Montevideo evidently
think that life would not be worth living
if they were compelled to live outside
the pale Of fashion. An observant trav.
eler informs us that they wear short
dresses in the streets, thus atfording a
liberal display of small and high heeled
French boots, with hats, but without
wraps. The extreme of fashion is ap-
parent in the hustle, accompanied with
great puffs calculated to make poor
little Jap girl die of envy. Our traveller
declares he has frequently seen the hustle
projecting quite two feet from the body,
and wondered why they were not utilized
as parcel carriers. But then every
country has its own standard of taste and
fashion. In Valparaiso and Santiago it
is the spray of feathers and top-knot of
artificial vegetation which marks the

THE ANCIENT SLOT.
Even This Financial Automaton is Not o
Novelty

A gentleman writing from Sheffield,
England, says: I'm d grimy little inn of
this place found the landlord quietly
smoking his pipe. l wanted to moke,
but had neither pipe nor tobacco. but
that mattered not The good landlord
brought from his collection pipe of the
'church warden variety, so long that,
the stem once in my mouth, l had to
slip forward a yard ." so to reach the
bowl. For tobacco 10 placed IA tin box
on the table. 1t was about foot long,
eight inches wide, and perhaps six deep.
There was a slit in the cover. Into this
the landlord dropped big English
penny, whereupon the lock was released
with click, and, having raised the cover,
we filled our pipes with the tobacco
lying loose inside. 1t was crude but
effective example of the nickel in the
slot machine. This box said the land
lord. is always in the smoking-room
for the convenience of the guests who
are out of toba, CO, and the pennies
dropped in to secure pipeful just about
pay for keeping the supply undi-
minished.' i should think, | sug-
gested, that the box, once opened, all
the tobacco might be extracted by some
conscienceless vagabond, Your box
isn't modern. 1t ought to be SO con-
trived that only a limited supply could
be obtained for each penny. L don't
think, he responded, that the box has
suffered much from dishonest users, and
rs for being modern, of course it isn't.
That box has been III use in this hotel for
more than one hundred and fifty years,
and is probably the furerunner of all the
penny-in theslot machines now SO COM
mon all over England and America, too,
as l understand tt box was certainly
battered and dusty enough to have been
in use that length of time, and there
seems to be no reason to doubt the land
lords statement with regard to it. VI In
