THE artists who adorn the pages of the

THE artists who adorn the pages of the
flash weeklies with pictures of young
women in bathing at the beaches have
been savageIy criticised for their appar-
emit ignorance of female anatomy when
it is untortured by corsets. a slight
and willowy waist covered by bathing
costume has been denounced in high
artistic circles as an artistic absurdity,
which could only be paralleled by fur
nishing similar outlines to the waist of a
statue like the Venus di Medici. But
the young woman who was rescued
from the waves of the beach at New
Brighton in a fainting condition, with
tightly laced corsets under her bathing
suit, appears to have vindicated the
artists. They limned better than they
knew.

The history of large irrigating canal
that supplies the fruit colony at River
side, Cal. shows how a very small crea-
ture can sometimes defeat the work of
hundreds of grown men. The canal Is
20 miles long and was built 10 years
ago. Some years since it was discovered
that the supply of water was rapidly di-
minishing from some unknown cause.
investigation showed that mischievous
little gophers were burrowing holes In
the canal and were running it. There
was nothing to be done but to line the
banks and the bottom Of the ditch with
cement through its whole length, and
this work had to be postponed till the
rainy season was on, so the canal would
not be needed for irrigating purposes.
After the gophers were shut out it was
found that the canal conveyed twice as
much water as it did before. the animals
having wasted one-hAlf.

Statistics From Labor Organizations.

SLaLlsLlCs FROM organizations
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The World this
morning has long article indicating that
the metropolis will soon be overrun by an
army of idle men.
Statistics from 81 trades in New York
city are given to show that in these trades
alone over SO, 900 men are out of work, and
it is declared that this represents only a
portion of the city's unemployed.
1t is stated that thousands are coming
here from the west in search of employ
ment and that immigrants are tarrying in
New York because of business stagnation
in western states. 1t is also pointed out
that the host of idlers is being daily in
creased by the shutting down of factories,
and the claim is made that manufacturers
whdfdo not close their mill doors are i'm
porting pauper labor.
Western states, it is claimed, feed and
forward tramps to New York free of cost,
and it is limited that the statistics may
point out bread riots in the near future.
The statement is made that Horace Gree
ley's maxim, Go west. young man." has
been reversed by the silver kings of the

An Ice Charity.

In some of the large cities this sum-
mer benevolent individuals have organ
lied and conducted charity as helpful
as it is unique. 1t consists of contribut-
ing funds to supply the very poor Of the
tenement house districts with free ice
At convenient points in the most thickly
settled and wretched of the tenement re-
gions blocks of ice are deposited, while
skilled workmen saw the blocks up and
distribute them among the needy who
call for them.
The charity has been especially valu-
able i'll saving the lives of infants. In
the hottest days it is impossible to keep
milk sweet or food fresh more than a
few hours without ice, and the puny
babes are too often literally starved. To
the ice gratuitously bestowed this sum-
mer grown people of the twentieth CEN
fury will owe the fact that they are hv-
ing, happy men and women, with fair
chance to fight and win, instead of dy-
ing in infancy and having their starved
little bodies turn to dust in pauper
graves
Superintendent of the ice distribution
is intrusted sometimes to district CHAIR
ties, again to the city physicians author
lied to attend the poor free of charge. Or.
ders for the ice are obtained from these.
This distribution of free ice among the
needy may he the coolest charity even
devised, but it is also one of the most
worthy
