their employment must cease till their nit

er and servant, and above all, that in a
struggle such as a long strike must always

ones 60 to the wall.
All these things make women shy; and
slow to join trade union. while The intro
duction Of foreign labor in England and
the increasing demand on account of their
cheapness, for foreign goods have made a
much deeper impression ON their minds
than is generally admitted The skilled
woman worker has. however. tine security

The Earliest Animals.

Inc earliest that can be found On any
living thing are the remains of sea-weed
and of the club-mosses that grow in wat
places. Soon, however, animals appear
ed, and the layers of Silurian, rock ara
found in some places to be entirely com
posed Of the shells Of animals. Some
times these shells are very small, but some
are larger than those of any animal now
in existence. Nor is il by any means GER
tain that small animals were created first
Little and big seem to have existed to
gether. We find the shells of animals Is
small as to be invisible, except under the
microscope. side by side with shells four
feet broad The framework of the tiuiest
creature which helped to make up these
layers of rock is extremely beautiful
The little coral animals commenced their
busy career during this age, building
limestone reefs and making the beautiful
chain coral which can still be seen on the
limestone cliffs in the western states
Another kind of animal, related to the
p0lyp, and called "crinoid, must have
greatly added to the beauty Of the Silmian
seas. We find its remains in the shape of
a curiousIy carved, six-sided body. From
each Of five sides a lily-hke arm was sent
off and the animal was fastened to the
rock by a stem running from the ceuter0f
the sixth side Professor Agassiz called
them stone lilies
Other layers of rock are composed wholly
of the remains OF queer animals called
"trilobites They belonged to the same
family as our holsters, and varied in size
from one-sixth Of an inch to two feet in
length. There were two great depressions
running lengthwise in their bodies, which
divided them into three Iobes. They had
also the same ring-ike divisions running
around the body as are seen in HOLSTERS.
They swan on their backs, and had the
power of rolling themselves into a ball.
Probably this was done to defend them
selves against some foe. Many were
caught in this position when the mud was
changing into rock, and kept for u to see.
In other layers of rock are found fossils Of
different animals of the lobster Nothing
like these old animals is found now
So many mollusks-that is, soft animals
with hard 4heIls. like the oysters then
swan in the waters, that this age is some
times called the Age of Molusks They
were of all sizes and shapes, and there
were millions and millions of them. There
was one. belonging to the same family as
our nautilus. which was four feet across.
Another resembled a nautilus unrolled Il
was from ten TO fifteen feet long and
measured a foot in breadth

first time, in some Of the upper layers be-
longing to this period In Wales in the
