Mill Girls.

In the great carpet mills of Pnila-
delphia, where, it is claimed, more car
pet is made in a single ward than in
the whole of England, the actual COM
petition of ONE with men is a
marked feature; in many cases they
earn equal pay for the same work. In
these mills the burlers earn from So to
$40 a week. They work from seven
o'clock in the morning till six o'clock
in the evening, with shalf an hour off
for dinner. Those who do not live at
home Can get good board for SO a
week, leaving quite a wide margin for
dress or for Swings. 1t would be of
great benefit to them if they could ac-
quire the habit of systematic saving,
but to this they are generally averse.
Some of them do save, however, and it
is no uncommon thing for a mill girl to
a v $500 or $500 before marriage.
The first few years of married life are
safely tided over by the united savings
of the couple, and it is unusual for the
children not to begin work by the time
they are fourteen years old. They can
earn 50 so and upward, and this sum,
as a rule, goes into the family treasury.
Thus there will often be five or six
bread -winners in the family, and, if
thrifty, a neat little sum may be laid
away. Tariff and economy are, how
ever, rather exceptional virtues among
the mill workers. They eat twice a day
the nos expensive meat (siXteen and
eighteen cents a pound), and pay ex-
travagant sums for early vegetables

How Things We're Going.

A Parsons War Experience,

When the war broke out times
changed to a large extent, and the
preacher, having TO travel on both sides
of the neutral strip that extended along
the banks of the Potomac, was often
challenged by the partisans on either
side as to whether he was a Unionist
or a secessionist. To these questions
he always replied that, please God, be
was a Methodist preacher and intended
to remain one. Such answers usually
settled the matter, but on one occasion,
in the little settlement of Genotown, a
mob, headed by a lanky old noun
t%aineer, came down to the church to
mob the preacher and stop the services,
under the impression that the preacher
was a Union spy in disguise. The
preacher, however, insisted on preach
ing, and, after holding forth vigorously
at the leader of the mob and diplomat.
cally avoiding political subjects, he
noted signs of weakness in the old man,
and, saying to himself, Well, we've
preached the devil half way out of him,
let's pray out the other half" he called
on the leader of the mob to lead in
prayer. The old fellow G t down and
prayed like a bishop, and at the conclu-
sion of the service went out and dis
persed the n OBJ and promised to join
the preacher in an eight weeks revival
meeting beginning from date.
The young circuit rider had a num-
Der of experiences with the soldiers on
either side of the existing unpleasant
ness. They were not so anenable to
reason as were the laity, and on one
occasion he met a gray-clad rough rider
of General Imboden's regiment well
down toward Dixie and came near los.
ing his horse and saddle bags, which
made up the whole of his worldly
wealth. The cavalryman insisted on
very unfair exchange of mounts and
ac~coutrements, but the willy minister
caught his opponent off his guard and
after a short, but decisive encounter,
rode off with the cavalryman's revolver
refrsining from giving him the beneh1
of its contents, although strongly
tempted to do so. The next day he
rode boldly into General lmboden's
camp, called on the commander, and
returned the revolver, with the story Of
how he had come to get hold of it. A
drumhead court. m rtial soon taught the
soldier better manners toward itineran'
ministers, and the muscular preacher
was provided with a pass that after,
ward carried him safe through the lines
until, at the end of a six months tern
of service, he returned to his home
north of the line very much the wise
for his first experience as a circuit
riding minister - Washington Post.

SOLDIERS BUDGET,
Kicked Over the Soup.

When the union forces captured
Fort Pillow a large amount of shells
and fixed ammunition fell into their

cooking for an officer, proceeded to use
two conical shells for fire dogs. After
getting his soup we'll under way he
needed more water, and went down to
the river near by to get m As he
was coming back one of the shells ex-
