DON'T WANT TO BE HELPED.

One of the difficulties of what is known as the labor problem is illustrated by the fact that the proposed action of the Eng fish parliament to prevent what has been believed to be overwork on the part of women in certain trades in England does not seem to meet with the favor that it was supposed it would from those chiefly ,interasted. Recently the delegates of over 8, ,e60 women engagedin: the nail and chain making trades in the 'so-called Black Country appeared before the representa- tives of Lord Salisburys' cabinet, ob- jecting to the restrictions contained in the bills now before parliament. These women entered into full details as to the method of their work, and said it was not too laborious, nor was it detrimental to their health; that the changes proposed would simply deprive them of the opportunities they now enjoy
 of gaining some sort of livelihood, since
 the work would be taken from them and
 given to the men. Still another deputa tion of women engaged in the laundry trade made protest against clause pre- venting women from working in this busi ness more than ten hours and half day Their claim was that the industry wal prac tically confined to eight months in th' year, and that it was only by long hour
 of service during this eight months that
 they could make enough to carry then through the four months of idleness.
 All of which teaches that everything cannot be regulated by law.

of the faith which the battle of the old and the new has to deal with.
 The eloquence of Dr. Brooks lacks ele- ments of power which are essential to greatness of the type seen in Webster, John Bright and Gladstone. His voice lacks power and tone, even when clear and interesting; and it loses quality from the wholly needless rapidity with which it is used. Less haste with words, many of which are superiuous, would save a con- siderable waste of power; and some effort to speak strongly, with more vigor and feeling, would greatly improve the voice of the orator.
 The quality of Dr. Brooks speech suffers very considerably from the rush of his ut terance, keeping him far too much to ex- cellent common place, when more delib crate method would let him take higher line of carefully chosen felicitous forms of speech. He keeps far too much st the ex- tempore level, and rises far too little to that of literary form and finish, the mas tery of which ought to be possible to a man of his genius and his experience in speaking.
 Then the matter of his dicourse for so
 eminent a man called to be the orator of
 so great cause is very deficient in well
 considered conceptions, well reasoned state ASlA5 CuOScu huOMlcNkt
 culated to illustrate and support his state
 ments Thus it would have served a good
 purpose in addressing 8 university audi ence to have mentioned the Hampton lec-
 lures at Oxford of Canon Freemantle, in which there is mssterly statement of the new Christianity, and also the Hampton lectures of Dr. Edwin Hatch, which show how totally unlike our present way of church and creed was that of early Christian order and organization. A very great matter, too, for the argument to-day is the fact that our Pilgrim fathers, in sharpest contrast with the Puritan, were beginners of broad, new departure, and that their broad way has triumphed over the Puritan in the chief seats of New England culture. Then, again, literature,
 as in King Alfred, Wycliffe, Shakespeare | and the whole drift of our time, and nota- ply in journalism, shows the coming of
 the deeper spiritual faith, as con trasted with dogmatic faith. Special words of some of the chief | minds of our own time might have been | cited in evidence of the fact that the up | rising of the new is not taking place in [ | corner, and Is not superficial, but is ot | the providence of the time and of the ful | flment of times, from Christ's day to oul | own. In material of this kind a man o such genius for thought and feeling anC | expression as Dr. Brooks, would find , great enrichment of eloquence and would | be & great orator in a sense very diff ferent from that of the reporters, who con
 strue speed in words as sign of inspira | tion. There is nothing more uncertain
 than inspiration. The sound thinker, tn
 great scholar, the disciplined masters o
 literary power, must help the great take and the fine enthusiast in order to be al orator of the highest greatness.

Discourarer of MatrImony.

From the ulustrhteu AnleTEcan-l stz5
 s'The delft but unmistakable touch ot beauty loving feminine fngers'Eis Q very fine phrase that used to carry meaning in good old times In those days the bachelor, unless looked after by mother or sister, was greatly cOmmiserated, and while he might be monstrous jolly fellow on the street, was accounted beggariy wretch at home without womanly hands to smooth the sharp corners of his domes- tic life. In that golden age hymen en- ployed the most powerful of all agents as an incentive to marriage com fort-but, alas the spur is lost, and men have learned the subtlest secrets of house keeping, to the discontinue of woman kind.
 To discover the extent of their unlawful knowledge, go and drink tea some fair af- ternoon in bachelor apartments, where your host is inordinately proud of dispen- sing hospitalities. You will find his lares and penates shrouded in artistic draperies, reposing on softly cushioned divans; rev cling in dainty china, presiding over a perfectly appointed tea table unabashed, - the quality of silk to use in decoration, and the respective values of cheese cloth and burlaps.
 It is shocking and preposterous to see how his brasses and window panes shine, the entire absence of dust, and charming disposition of bric-a brac about the room. Perhaps the saddest feature of this un- promising case is the freshly swept hearth, and kettles cheerful welcome, as it stesms briskly on its crane.
 What has the cleverest maiden in the land to offer thislady-like young man ir the way of material comfortsl Absolute | ly nothing; for you would not be in ths least surprised if he produced bit ot fancy work, or whiled away the time witl a bit of neat alarming.
 New York, above all other towns abounds in this brand-new type of self satisfied beau, and from the yearly in crease in the number of cosey, well ol dered homes they are establishing, ther seems small likelihood of speedy refo, mstion.

The Shopping Mania.

The shopping district begins about Tenth street, and is bounded on the north by the latitude of Twenty third, where the promenade begins and continues on up in definitely to Forty-second street. One IS as likely to see a man here as at an after noon tea, and if one should dare to ven- ture in, it is only for one or two reasons; either he is the husband or brother of some wife or sister in the suburbs, who has asked him to run up town at luncheon time and match something for her, or he is there because the women are there, and he has come to look at them In the first place he is entitled to your pity, and in the second place as well, for his occupa- ton, though individually satisfactory, is not profitable. The business district is very grim and very real; the shopping dis trict is all color and movement and varis- ty. It is not the individual woman one sees here, but woman in the plural. You may have a glance of 6 beautiful face, or of brilliant or an outrsgeously inRppro- priste gown, but it is only q glimpse, and the face is lost in a composite photograph of faces, the expression of which seems to be one of decided anxiety. For it is sp- psrently 6 very serious business, this shopping. The shoppers do not seem to be altogether happy, for they have heard, perhaps, of place where you get that same fiounce for two cents yard less than at the other place, where you got the last lot, and they are pressing on before it is all gone. They are as keen over their bar gains in trimmings and gloves as their husbands down town are over the rise and fall in oil, and they certainly do not look as if they were on pleasure bent. On the contrary, they seem to have much upon their minds On sunny, bright morn ing, when it is possible for them to wear their best bravery without fear of rain, Broadway holds, apparently, every woman of means in the city. Who stays at home to take care of the baby, and who looks after the fiat is a question. use the word fiat advised, because sn the women
 who shop below Union Square and along
 Fourteenth street live in flats. Above Union Square they occupy apartments.
 It is a very fine distinction

 French scientists are puzzling over spider which was discovered in a cavity in stone. It is estimated that the stone must be I, 900 years old; this notwithstanding, however, the spider is quite lively and very youthful in it's antics. It is blind and has no mouth. Usually it is toad.
 Mosquitoes are powerful animals. as everybody who has contended with them knows. They can kill bears. They do it in Alaska. They settle around the eyes of bear and cause inflammation, which is followed by blindness The bear then either dies of starvation or the inflamma- tion extends to the brain."
 Israel Crosley, St. Paul negro, has set good example. He died leavingproperty worth about $2O, 1000, which he stipulates in his will shall be devoted to the purposes of higher education. The income of the money is to be given to needy young per sons, those of African descent merely pre- ferred, who may attend any institution | they choose.

 The English consul says that in the city of Warsaw the Hebrews now number 40 per cent. of the population and that the av- craze in all the other towns of Poland is 50 per cent, while in the villages it falls per cent and in the rest of the country to nothing. Trades and industries in the city of Warsaw are almost entirely in the hands of the Hebrew population. In higher branches of commerce the ratio is sixteen Jews to three Christians; in lower branches, nineteen Jews to two Christians; in the agency and brokerage business, forty-three Jews to one Christian. Of the large industrial enterprises of the city, 63 per cent. are in the hands of Jews and only IS per cent. belong to ns i Charis- tians.
