:, In Berlin. at the time we write, the
sunday question is the question of the
hour. One thing which shows this is
the zeal of those who stand up for the
Ola order of things. In his lecture at
the UNIVERSITY, a few days ago, Prof
Won lreltschke, the great Prusslan his
torlan, dlgressed from his theme to say.
with pronounced emphasis, eve don't

doubtedly many of the people are salts
ned; but some are not, and this is notably
tie case with those to whom the Ger
man Sunday has been heretofore a day
OF toll, with nothing to distinguish it
from other days. Not only are the lat
ter dissatisfied with the German Sun
day, but their complaints have found
potential expression and have been in
corporated within recent months into q
law of the Reichstag.
This law makes long strides toward
the prohibition IN Germany of all Sun
day labor. 1t affects factories, work
shops, offices, stores and almost every
other place, either of manufacture or
merchandise.
In many departments Sunday labor
must be stopped altogether, and it
must be brought down to the minimum
In every department. Such is the new
law in Germany. It's effects in Berlin
are very marked. The shops now can
be kept open not more than five hours
on Sundays. The trader may choose
his own time but the hours he selects
must not be from 10 to IL, nor from to
Z, because these are church hours,
when everything must be shut up.
Another requirement is that the shop
keeper, having chosen his time tor Sun
day opening, must report the same to
the police, and have their sanction,
with proper record at police head
quarters. This makes it easier tor
these officials to see that the new law is
properly regarded and one of the best
evidences that German authorities are
in earnest in this reform is that the
police so far have fearlessly done their
duty.-Poris Correspondent, Hartford

The Mo1orman Dlu 1t,

She was O tall woman with q severe
cast Of countenance and q mole, from
which good-sized goatee depended, on
her left cheek. She boarded Seneca
Street car the other night and found
every seat occupied. No man offered
to give her his seat, and she planted
herself Just inside the door and square
ly across the entrance. MADAM" said
the conductor, politely, II wish you
would move for'ard a little in the cal"
"I'll do no such thing" she snapped.
"But, madam" continued the con-
ductor, "people have got to get IN and
out this door. )" Il don't care if they
have. I'll stand here and nowhere

vinegary. 81 shall have to insist" said

Just then the motorman tried to slow
down his car, and, by mistake, shut the
current off entirely. The car stopped
suddenly and the tall woman went
pluneing down the aisle and landed on
her knees near the front door. Every

Deadly Trades.

The alkali works 90 on all the year
round day and night, Sundays and
weeks; and St. Helen's and Widnes are
the chief seats of the manufacture. If
you have a fancy for knowing how that
part of the world lives which serves
the industry that Lord Beaconstield
used as his trade barometer, you will
do we'll to gain admittance to the
strange and lurid scene where the pro-
digious processes are carried on.
By the glow of furnaces and the way
ering light of an occasional gas jet,
you make out bit by bit a rough picture
of uncouth buildings, gaunt frame
works of timber, ominous-looking lead
chambers looming overhead, and
general confusion of towers, platforms,
revolving and stationary furnaces, great
cauldrons where the caustic CLOVIS a
sullen red ;threatening-looking tanks full
of corrosive liquids, and other strange
half-animate monsters which beset you
as you pick your way along narrow
planks or up stairs half eaten away
with acid. There are figures moving
about the place, wheeling barrows up
up the planks, standing at the furnace
mouth tanning the White-hot mass with
in, welding huge ladies at the caustic
pot, raking, straining, and laboring in
terrific heat and glare and amid sicken-
ing fumes. A man steps back from the
furnace now and again and lowers the
muller from his mouth to gasp more
freely in the chill air, and you can see
his face, arms and chest shining with
the sweat.
Figures are to be seen by day which
are scarcely recognizable as men, with
great goggles over their eyes and huge
protuberances Of flannel corded over
their mouths and necks. These are the
men who pack the bleaching powder.
The powder packer, his feet encased in
thick wooden clogs, and his legs in
brown paper CATERS, steps into the
chlorine chamber, shovels the bleach
ing powder into the cask, and presently
shuffles out again and unlashes his
swathings, gasping as though at deaths
door. There are some $4,000 men in
the employ of the United Alkali Com
pany, including special ''prccess men"
and laborers.
The story of their daily and nightly
toll is told by the faces and forms OF
the worn, detected men who pass you
in the streets; by the deaths from
| respiratory diseases which carry OFT the
strongest men before their time; by the
evidence of horrible sufferings from
constant contact with biting lime; by
teeth rotted away by the sa)t-cake
fumes; by scars and sometimes blind
! ness from cau5tic burning; by vitriol
burns, and by the deadly nausea from
the gas inheled, and the recurring eX-
haustion brought on by tearfully pro-
tracted toil.-TNe Fortmghtly Reuiew.

No More Bald Heads.

Mrs. Jenness Miller, the high priestess
of hygienic dress, has headed a new
crusade. She is said to demand that
bald heads be covered with wigs in pub
lie, as they ARE horrid, unsightly and
inartistic." The Kansas City Star
thinks ''this innovation on the part OF
Mrs. Miller is but another link in the
chain of thraldom that the women are
putting about men. Women began by
taking mans cigar away from him and
throwing it off the street car. Now,
after having pulled all the hair out OF
poor mans head, they are making
bald headedness crime. is this just p

NOW RHlNoCERos FIGHT.

The Huge Beasts Use Their Horns Like
Expert Swords.aen.
A combat which is not wanting III
originality is the rhinoceros fight that
takes place in India. says Pearson's
Companion. The two animals are
chained at opposite extremities Of the
arena. One is painted black. the other
red, in order that they may be distin-
guished, for otherwise they resemble
each other in almost every point. When
the company is assembled the two hid
eous animals are let loose and start Oft
at an ungainly trot, raising angry cries.
They seem to have very bad sight, for
they pass one another several times
without stopping; but at length they
meet and attack each other fercely.
Horn against horn, they exchange
passes, as though fencing with swords,
beneath the head Of his antagonist,
which is the vulnerable spot Of the
rhinoceros.
The animal, therefore, who finds him
self in this predicament suddenly turns,
SO that the point of the enemy's horn
rests against his jawbone, instead Of
penetrating his throat. They remain in
this position, motionless, for some min
utes, then separate, and one Of them
takes to flight. For a whole hour the
fight is many times renewed with in
creasing fury; their horns clashing to-
gether with great noise, their enor-
nous lips covered with foam, and their
foreheads stained with blood. Their
attendants throw buckets of water over
them to refresh them, SO that they may
sustain the combat. At last the Guic-
war orders cessation of hostilities;
abuse is employed to separate the COM
batants; they are secured. sponged and
led away from the arena.

Royal Baking Powder
Is Absolutely Pure

AIHlLE there are SO many alum baking pow
w ders in the market, the use of which all
physicians decide render the food unWholesome
and liable to produce dyspepsia and other
ailments, housekeepers should exercise the ut
most care to prevent any powder but the Royal
from being brought into their kitchens.
In the of Royal there is an absolute
certainty of pure and wholesome food.
The official State Chemists report: The
Royal Baking Powder does not contain
monia, alum, lime nor any injurious ingre-
dents. It is absolutely pure and wholesome.
The Government reports show all other
baking powders to contain impurities.
In the use of any baking powder but Royal
there is uncertainty if not actual danger.
It is unwise to take chances in matters of
life and health.
