ment of excitement. The old glorious
days of the empire seemed 10 have re-
turned, and ball followed ball and fete
followed fete with such rapidity that the
female part OF the great world OF fashion
found IL almost impossible TO appear IN
the requisite number of new costumes.
Under the circumstances il was natural
that Worth should do an enormous bust
ness and that his establishment should
have found 1t difficult TO fill the immense
quantities OF orders. The steps that
Worth took, however, to fill his orders
seem 10 the American mind very far from
natural.
One morning Worth himself appeared
in the work-room where Nine. Visby pre-
sided and issued proclamation. Not q
woman should leave the room. he said,
until the last order on hand was COM
pleted. Then he went out and locked the
door and placed a guard over it to see that
his commands we're obeyed.
Then followed ceaseless hours of toll.
The girls, sitting on their hard benches,
sewed on and on, only being allowed to
stop TO eat the meals sent in to them three
times day. In one corner OF the great
work-room q pile OF cuttings and rags
and old dresses had accumulated. When
some unfortunate girls head dropped and
the needle fell from her exhausted fingers
she Mas allowed TO throw herself on the
pile of rags and sleep, but only for an hour
at time.
From to 10 at night labor was sus-
pended and the women were allowed to
sleep as best they could on the floor or
their seats, anywhere, so long as they re-
NAMED in the room. From II 10 |
another hours rest was granted and again
from 4 to in the morning the same
respite was given For ten days this
ceaseless toll was kept up before the great
heap OF magnificent costumes was COM
pleted. 1t was we'll that the end had
come because exhausted nature could
stand it no longer.
On the tenth morning, when the block
ade was about to be raised and the worn
out women were about to be permitted to
return to their homes, frai-looking girl
was found lying in the pile OF rags in the
corner. She was so worn out that her
stronger companions determind to let her
sleep on, and when all the others were
raised at 5 o'clock TO 90 on with their
work she was allowed to remain undis-
turbed. There was no noise in the bed
room, only deep signs and suppressed
means of pain broke the stiffness. Finally
the hour came for the head man to come
round and gather up the work which had
been completed during the night. Then
one OF the WORKOUT women went over and
tried to wake the sleeping Girl in the cor
ner. She WIS dead. This is no fancy
picture. II was what actually occurred in
Worth's dress-making establishment.
Nine. Nisby says that she has never been
a strong woman since that ten DAYS of
ceaseless toll. 1t broke her health so
completely that she was forced to give up
her position and come to this country.
1t seems incredible that the girls in Paris
should be willing to face the possibility of
a repetition of such torture as Worth
made them endure, and yet it is true.

THE BETTER WAY.
How the Nice Little Boy Squeiched the Pro
voking Little Rough.

How the Nice Little Boy Squelched the Pro-
voking Little Rough.
A little boy who was the owner OF a
rather smart little pony and cart was
much annoyed by a "Mordecai at the
gate" in the shape Of small, ragged
urchin whose shanty he had to pass daily
on his way to the village, and who jeered
at him with the versatile and cunning
tongue OF born gamin. The owner of the
little turnout was simply made miserable
by the persecution, especially as il
afforded great delight to a number
Of the smaller roughs of the nelghbOr-
hood. 81 would thrash him." said the
child to his mother, "but am afraid Jack
(the pony would run away" al will tell
you a much better way" suggested the
mother, and after some persuasion she in
duced the boy to try her plan. The next
morning, as usual, the enemy was waiting
for his victim. Hip began the urchin,
81 s'pose you think that things boss %
''No," said the little boy, with q nod and a
bright little smile, "but he is very good
pony; won't you get in and try him ?"
The small rough came up and patted the
little animal. "He is q nice little feller,"
he admitted in a shamefaced way. and in
q second the boys were bowling together
merrily down the road and the feud was
over forever.

The National Starch Trust.

Daily average profits of each mill in the
trust-aboUt 5000.
Daily wages of an adult employe, Sl.122.
The starch industry is protected by a
tariff of cents per pound and every
starch mill in the United States but two
belong to the starch trust. Much of the
labor in a starch mill is performed by
children, whose earnings average about
$3.50 per week. Were picture made of
the daily earnings of one Of these children
in comparison with the earnings of a
member of the starch trust it would re-
ouire the aid of a powerful magnifying
glass to see it. Since the organization of
the starch trust several mills have been
closed to restrict the production in ac-
cordance with the limited demand of a
protected market. The earnings of the
mills in operation are divided equally
with the proprietors of the mills that were
closed, but the workingmen who were
thrown ont of employment by the starch
trust are compelled to seek other work or
remain idle

The YOUNG FOLKS CORNER.
ToNVs BUTTONS WOULDN'T STAY.
Do Not scoid the Little Fellows About Lost
ButtOns-A Boy Rero-The Better Way
Youthful wisdOm-Some Knotty
Problems.

Looking over an cd box the other
day came upon a handful of Tony's but
tons, writes Florence Alden. / call them
Tony's buttons, because they are relics of
past shirtwaists and little pants long since
worn out or laid aside that Tony used TO
wear. Reverently 1 picked them out from
the collection in the box, and, holding
them in my hand, looked long and earn
estly at those simple reminders OF my lit
tie curly-headed boy. Nearly every but
ton was pulled out, with piece of the gar
ment from which it came sewed fast to it.
Well remember how annoyed often felt
with Tony because his buttons were al
ways Of.
One waist in particular [ recall-a dark
blue with Kate Greenaway figures. Sew
eral buttons in my hand brought wildly
TO mind the last time Tony wore that
waist. The image OF my pretty little boy
came back TO me as | looked at those we'll
worn buttons-his bright, animated face,
eyes sparkling in anticipation OF the fun
he would have at the picnic he was going
to attend his long, beautiful curls float
ing around as sweet face as God ever
gave a child; the little blue pants and
waist, broad collar, finished at the neck
with a blue and white tie. Surely Tony
was sweet that day.
AS l kissed him good-by l said what
made me do SOL: Now, Tony, don't
pull off your buttons"
mo, mamma" and he was gone.
He didn't mean to. j knew it then. |
know it better now, but the unreliable
buttons came of in spite OF the boyish
resolutions. and at night Tony came home
looking quite demoralized. / did not scold
him. am glad l didn't. / only said:
Naughty boy, your buttons are gone"
"No, mamma, have got them all. >"
And out from the little pocket came the
rebelliOus buttons, With unfortunate Kate
Greenaway figures hanging to them in
doleful tatters.
sighed as / looked at the wreck, and
Tony said: Mamma, / can't help it; they
will come off; but some day I'll grow big
and sban't wear shirt waists. Then you
won't have to sew on the buttons. Won't
that be nice ?"
Nice o Tony, Tony, if you could only
come back and pull oil the buttons once
more-I would not ask for greater happi-
ness! Mothers don't scold the little fel-
lows because they get the buttons oil and
bits OF garment with them. At best the
time is short that you will have the privi-
lege of sewing them on, for our little boys
soon grow up and 90 away from us; then
someone beside mamma has the buttons
to sew on.
And some-ah, some-only use the but
tons a few years. Then the Father who
gave their sweet faces to Us for little
time takes them back again and we've
only wait, hoping some day to see them
once more.

SOWING HUMAN TEETH.
A Discovery Made by n Dentist OF Interest
60 A Who suffer.
TIady'e Pictorial.1

If we can rely upon a. statement in a
Russian journal. a dentist of Moscow has
discovered method of actually planting
artificial teeth in the mouth in such a
manner that they will in a short time
grow into the gums and become TO all
intents and purposes real ones, with the
additional advantage of being free from
nerves. Here, indeed, is grand discov-
cry, if it only turns out to be genuine To
escape the horrible fdgetting alternative
OF Springs" or pilates" and TO have a
third set OF practical real teeth that never
come out seems to be dream of dentistry
too facinating to have Its origin in fact.
/ gather from the description that the
preliminary process is not altogether a
cheerful one, as it appears to be necessary
to bore holes in the jaw; but that, of
course, is merely transitory and incl
dental discomfort. Hitherto we have only
heard of sowing dragons teeth" but if
the process can be really extended TO
human molars, and they can be set like
cowslips. all of a row." in the mouth of
the dental patient, there will have to be
an international subscription to raise a
monument-in ivory, of course-to the
Muscovte dentist TO whom is due the
credit OF the invention.

Everything IL Changed and Things Are
New Except the Faces.
We are settled now-all of us who
moved-in cur new quarters, says writer
in the New York World. But everything
is changed a little. The gas in the parlor
turns more easily than the old one used to
turn, and is liable to be suddenly put out
completely if one attemps to lower its radi-
ance a little of Sunday evening. should
light prove too glaring The boards in the
hallway creak in a different place and the
stairs seem strangely unfamiliar late at
night-so tiresome to be annoyed thus.
The parlor sofa is new aud unsympathetic !;
it is just white and gold couch with a
heap OF new China silk pillows that are
most uninviting and cold. One cannot cry
upon new pillows. The dear old sleepy
hollow chair that would hold-Lord knows
how many has been banished to the
nursery, and there is no home feeling left
in US. Everything is new-everything but
the faces. Perhaps it will happen that
soon the new belongings, ashamed OF their
stiffness and uncongeniality. will permit
themselves to become family friends-and
then Sunday evening will be what it used
to be.

THE MARRIAoEABLE AGE.
How 1t Is Regarded in ID frerent Countries
OF the World.

How 1t Is Regarded in ID frerent Countries
OF the World.
There is great diversity in all parts of
the globe in regard to the legal marriagea-
bic age, says a correspondent OF the Kan
sas City Star.
At the age of ten or even nine years
girls are allowed to marry in Arabia, Brit
ish India, Persia, Siam and Burmah, and
in many instances the males are not much
their seniors A Bavarian female may
marry between the ages of twelve and IF
teen. but the males may not legally do so
until they are from fourteen TO eighteen
years old. The Saxe-Coburg-Goth girls
may wed at the age of fourteen, but the
marriageble age for men Is twenty-one
years.
In Austria bride and groom must have
reached the age of fourteen, but the
parents consent is absolutely necessary.
Danish males and females must be re-
spectively twenty and sixteen before mar
riage is allowed. With the French the
minimum age for the former is eighteen
and fourteen for the latter.
In Finland an imperial decree must be
obtained if a couple desires 10 be married
before the man has reached the age of
tWenty-One and the woman fifteen. An
exception is made in the case of peasants
who have a regular trade or business.
These can wed if the groom is eighteen
and the bride fourteen.
Russia has a law making eighteen and
sixteen the legal ages. The natives of the
Caucasus are exempted from the pro-
visions of this law, fifteen for the males
and thirteen for the females being the
ages fixed for their benefit
Laplander's code is that males must be
at least seventeen, while in Norway and
Turkey there is no fixed period for either
sex. In Hungary the male may marry at
fourteen, the bride may be two years
younger But if the father does not give
his consent the marriage is considered
null and void.
Among the Italians the usual standard
is observed, being eighteen for men and
sixteen for women
In Spain. Portugal and Greece the
limits are fourteen and twelve.
The cantonal laws in Switzerland are
such that the ages vary from fourteen to
twenty for males and twelve to eighteen
for girls.
No female in England can marry who
has not passed her twelfth year, and the
male must be at least fourteen. In the
United States, state laws regulate mar
riage. Nearly all of them require the con-
sent OF parents when the man is less than
twenty -one and the woman under eighteen.
