Poor Working Women.

In the Boston daily papers have late, ly appeared vivid statements by Rev. Louis A. Banks of the condition of pool women who sew for 8 miserable living in this city. It is match for anything of the kind in darkest England or dark. est Africa. Every one feels that relief should be found somewhere.
 On the same day that MT. Banks first sermon on the subject was pub lished. I had two letters. One was from central Massachusetts, from farmers wife who was suffering for lack of help With a family of small children, thirty or forty COWS and endless housework she could find no help.
 Another letter came the same day from eastern Massachusetts with the same piteous complaint of mo woman to help" There were good homes in both these places rooms, good food, good air, good wages and physi cal comfort. This state of things exists to large degree everywhere in country towns.
 Now, what is needed is bureau oi information to bring the poorly paid labor in crowded cities into communi cation with the need of labor in the country. There would be small occa sion for the pitiful exhibit so faithfully made by Mir. Banks if those who want work under good conditions could go where that kind of work is wanted Let philanthropicm men and women look to it.-Cor. Boston Woman's Journal.

Classifying a Minister.

Of one of the best known Methodist ministers a good story is being told. As he himself relates the anecdote with many laughs there can be no harm in giving names. He was addressing the Sunday school scholars at certain gathering by Che" refer to the Rev. J. F. Berry-when, to get them in fellowship with himself, he referred to the introduction of the superintend- ent, and queried, with a smile, ''Now, boys, what kind of a berry do you take me to be?" "A strawberry" sang out a roguish lad in the front seat. "A huckleberry, chuckled that lads neighbor. Then, to keep the ball of good humor rolling, the Rev. MT. Der ry called out to an old colored woman in the rear row, Well, auntie, what kind of a berry do you think am9' to which that keen witted grand am made answer at once, "A goosebery, shoup say, an don' reckon you'll ever ripen, either" Cor.

The Psnnywelghter's Scheme.

Perhaps the cleverest of all shoplift- ers' tricks is that of the penny. weighter" It is known to but few, and practiced by a still smaller number, for it is a difficult one. It has been most successfully worked by a pretty little blond, with a baby face, blue eyes, curly hair and the general ap pearance of bewitching soubrette. Her professional name is Little Scot ty." She came to grief in Boston, Mass, and was sentenced to three years in prison.
 Her mode of working was to go to a jewelry store and ask to be shown loose diamonds on tray. She pretends to be very shortsighted, and bends over and very close to the tray, examining the diamonds through an eyeglass. She exposes her left hand so as not to be suspected, and at 8 propitious moment drops a one carat diamond into the tray, and with her tongue, on the point of which she has pulverized alum, she icks up a two carat diamond.
 She then says she cannot find the ex- act mate of the stone she wants to match, which she has not with her, and goes into another store, were she ex- changes her two carat diamond in a similar manner for three carat stone, and so on. When she was caught she had started with a one carat diamond and had reached six and half carats, making several hundred dollars in few hours. The size of the stone enabled the jeweler to discover it's theft and sealed Scotty's doom. Jewellers Wook1v

From Bradley Heath.

Recently a deputation of women went from Bradley Heath, in England "a place where women are employed at heavy work in forging chains-to London to protest against the passage by parliament of an act which proposed to prohibit the use by women of heavy forging implement known as the "oliver." They objected to the pas sage of the bill on the ground that it would deprive them of employment
 At London they were questioned at length upon the manner of their ein, ploy,nent by the home secretary, an officer whose position in the British government is much the same as that of the secretary of the interior in this country. Between MT. Matthews, the secretary, and the chainwoman, the following dialogue too place:
 MT. Matthews-And what's the pre-. else nature of the employment in which you are enga-
 Chainwoman (breaking in)-I doant want to have my work taken awaay from mel
 MT. Matthews (blandly)-Pardon me, that is not quite the point on which 1 desire information. If you will please explain to me the nature of operation in which
 Chainwoman Qirm though fustered, and determined to get out what she had come all the way to London to say)- It never done me no harm, sirl
 Mir. Matthews But, my good iwom an, if you will suspend your observa tions long enough to communicate some idea
 Chainwonan-llik likes the 'eavy work, sir; an says, Let each one do what they canl
 The interview proceeded in this un. satisfactory way until Q questioner was found who could talk to the chain women in their own language.-Youth's Companion.
