CONTRASTS OF SEWING WOMEN.

Advantages OF the Factory Girl n the
Country Over Her Sister In the City.
You may see in any one Of perhaps q
hundred shops in this city colorless, sad
eyed, dinghy clad women bending over
sewing machines amid squalid sur
roundings, with no outlook save through
window opening upon sortiid street.
You may see in at least q score of coun-
try villages so miles from any great
city q crowd of neatly clad, happy look
ing girls and women busted with like
tasks, but amid clean and pleasant sur
roundirgs, with glimpses of a smiling
landscape through every window.
The New York women, released from
their toll, hasten home to gloomy teue.
lnent lodgings and unwholesome fare.
The village girls troop from the factory
ID modest but clean and pleasant homes,
where food is fresh and abundant. The
New York sewing machine woman is
an Insignificant unit in q great COM
munity. She feels daily the pressure Of
her fellows that are ready to take her
place and her earnings. She hears from
embittered men and women talk Of the
rights of labor and the greed Of wealth.
She knows that her earnings would not
keep some of her rich sisters in cut fiow-
ers. Whenever she stirs out Of her own
dingy quarter, it is to see ut every step
evidence Of the luxury in which some
live and of the contrast between her
lot and theirs.
The village factory girl has hardly
heard that there is labor problem. Her
5000 or $3.50 year, earned ut the sewing
machine, clothes her we'll, procures for
her small Injuries and helps to keep the
family above want. She makes little
pleasure trips hithcr and yon when work
is slack and looks forward with conf
dence to marriage AMI home Of her
own, clean, sweet and comfortable She
never sees among her fellow townsfolk
one who has any essential comfort that
she lacks, and nine women ont Of ten
in the village have less to spend on
dress than she has. She never sees q
hungry or ragged person, unless it be
an occasional tramp, and she hardly
grasps the meaning Of what she now
and then hears about the lives Of the
poor in great Cities
The New York slave to the sewing
machine lives half an hour from the
heart of the western world and may, il
she will, on any night see broadway
and its throngs by electric light. The
village factory girl believes that she
would be happy to give up all her com.
forts for the others privilege of seeing
at will the splendors Of the great city.
Tho New York sewing woman would
not, if she could, change places with
the village factory girl-New Yort

Pigeon Roosts Fifty Year, Aro.

Pigeon Roost, Scott county, Ind. re-
ceived its name from its being the night
ly rendezvous of the passenger or wild
pigeon. These pigeons usually selected
some heavily wooded or elevated locali-
ty for their roosting, bordering ON their
feeding grounds, which might be sever
al hundred miles in extent. The pigeons
usually commenced to arrive before sun
set and continued in increasing mum
bers until after midnight. At daybreak
the birds would begin to leave the roost,
and on swift wing depart for their feed
ing grounds, miles away, returning at
night, as stated. 1t may safely be said
that these birds ranged the forests Of
Indiana from the Wabash to the Ohio,
and extending far into Kentucky. So
large were their roosts that they became
localities Of great interest. None was
more famous than the one in Finley
township. Scott county, Ind hence the
name of the settlement early established
there-the Pigeon Roost.

One Spoon Enough,

A Boston man travelling through the
south was obliged to stop over in q
small town where there was but one
hotel, at which the accommodations
were hardly to be called elaborate. When
the colored waiter brought his dinner,
the Boston man found that he was to
have roast beef, stewed tomatoes, corn,
peas, Potatoes and coffee, the vegetables
served in the usual stone china canoes.
Presently he said to the waiter, Dick,
pass the spoons. The waiter rolled his
eyes IN genuine a,nazement. Spoons,
sab! What yo' want with the spoons?
There's 20 spoon in 20 corn. San

1t seems to be coming-scientific ap-
proval-in all directions. DR.. Cham
poniere, member of the Academy Of
Medicine, has made observations on
Frenchwomen who have used the wheel,
and he finds they are better performers
than men, learning more easily and
with less purposeless expenditure Of
force. He finds marked increase in the
amount of muscle developed all over the
trunk of the body, especially about the
torso. The lung capacity is increased,
full, healthy action Of the heart is re-
stored and the deposition of fat is avoid
ed. The doctor asserts that he can detect
infallibly the woman who uses the
wheel from her sisters when they cross
the streets. One proceeds with self con-
fdence and ease when the other lodges
and invites disaster. He then examines
the mental discipline afforded by the BIZ
cycle, and thence deduces his most strik-
ing conclusions. He finds that the wom-
ans powers of attention and observation
are awakened in an extraordinary de-
gree, or rather that these powers, with
which all human beings are endowed at
birth, are saved from atrophy, which in
both sexes is one of the most marked
defects produced by civilization. The
wheelwomen move with something of
the freedom and dignity observed in
some of the higher uncivilized races.
The doctor disclaims any intention to
theorize, but at the close of his article
permits himself to dream Of a new
Frenchwoman as the product of the bi :
cycle.

MAY BE SINGING FISHES.


4 Phenomenoa q the Sea which Il n
tsresting and Mysterious.
Here is an account of phenomenon
Of the Pascagoula river in Mississippi,
to which, although it is not generally
known, the attention of naturalists has
been called on account of its mystery.
At times very remarkable sounds are
heard at the mouth of this river. The
local fishermen say that it is 1.-THE spirits
singing under the water 1t is mur-
muring sound, which rises gradually
and then falls to q lower tone. The
music ceases when the waters are dis
turbed, and when they are quiet it be-
gins again.
Several explanations have been offered
as to the origin and cause Of the mystic
rious sounds Of the Pascagoula. The
most satisfactory theory is that the
sounds are produced by q species of fish
in some unknown way. Professor g.
Brown Goode, who is an authority on
fishes and fish life, thinks that the drum
fish may cause the sounds in question.
Instances Of peculiar sounds being
heard at sea and ascribed to fishes are
not uncommon, as the following exam
pies will show:
In 1924, when Lieutenant White Of
the American navy was at the mouth Of
q river in Cambodia, he and his crew
were surprised by unusual sounds. He
described the noises as a mixture Of the
bass Of an organ, the ringing of bells,
the cultural cries of large frog and the
tones OF an immense harp. The natives
said that the sounds were produced by q
school Of a certain kind of fish.
DR.. BUST, 1847, reported that party
OF people in boat on the waters near
Bombay heard strange sounds, which
the natives held to be caused by fish.
The well known English traveller, Sir J.
Emerson Tennent, heard similar sounds
from the lake of Batticaloa in Ceylon,
and here again the natives claimed that
fishes made the sounds. Several CORE
spondents of newspapers have reported
having heard sounds which were pro-
duced by fishes. One writer in the Lon
don Field, 1867, AYERS that in the har-
Dor at Greytown, Nicaragua, he was
haunted at night by these mysterious
sounds. Another in the same paper tells
Of musical sounds which he heard in the
Tavoy river. Other instances Of more
recent date might be mentioned.
From all the accounts given we may
draw some interesting conclusions
Thus it seems that the sounds are al
most always heard on shipboard, though
Charles Kingsley once heard them at
Trinidad from the shore; that they are
usually heard in tropical regions; that
they are more often heard at night than
at any other time; that they are COM
monty heard at the mouth of rivers, as
at the mouth of the Pascagoula, and
that they have been reported from far
distant places in America, Europe and
Asia.-Our Animal Friends.

Cutting IL Short.

A barber's shop is sometimes a trying
place for men who dislike to hear other

he has little shop and is alone, must

A Turfaaan's Tale.

A New Jerseyman told me a good
story tho other day Oh one Of our fore
most turfmen, man whose name is
perhaps printed oftener than tina. of
any other connected with racing in
America. A good many years ago this
thurman, who was not then deep in the
racing business, arrived in Jersey City
with t1ainload Of mustangs from the
plains Of Texas He knew nothing of
the laws of the state nor of the ordi-
nances of the city. He knew that he
wanted to sell his mustangs and thought
the best way to do it was to sell them
at auction. Being somewhat gifted in
speech, he determined that he would he
his own auctioneer. The sale started out
well. Fair prices We're realized. Sud
denly 1t was interrupted by policemen,
who demanded q view of our friend 8
license.
'Licerse?" he said amazed. "What
license: l haven't any license of any
kind
We'll, You can't sell horses in this
city without license. You'll have to
come along. No monkey business with
u.s."
Of course he went along. but he was
lucky enough to find at court q friend "a
lawyer. who went bail for him in the
sum OF $50. Then the lawyer said:
"A license costs $3.50. You are under
bonds. Go ahead and finish your sale,
collect your money and skip out Give
me $50 to settle the forfeited bond. and
you are 5000 ahead of the game
1t was done accordingly. The turf
man and his friend met in the st. James
hotel lately and laughed over the joke.
