Ha,ching Eggs on a Fire Engine.

good story is told concerning the MEM
bers of fife brigade in certain town not
far from Hastings On one occasion, 1t
appears, fire broke out in the town, and
rush was naturally made for the fire en-
gine, which was always kept on the prem
ises of one OF the Inhabitants. When the
men attempted to take the engine out,
however. they were met with the ex xclana-
ton from the custodian:
Hi! We can't take that out. I've got a
hen sitting on there and you'll break her
eggs"
Tradition AYERS that the men. seeing the
force OF this argument, instantly withdrew
and the fire was put out by means OF pals OF
water drawn from neighboring WE'LL
Pearson's Weekly.

SENTENCED JUSTLY.

One great cause of contention between
has been cheating by the use OF false
weights, which did not give the wurkmen
credit for the full amount Of coal mined.
According tn n telegram which appeared
in The Times this morning, one operator
has been convicted at Pittsburg for this
outrageous practice and sentenced to
pay $500 fine and suffer three months
imprisonment in Jail.
1t must be highly encouraging tu every
wage worker TO know that by slow pro-
cess of evolution laws for their protection
from the imposition of employers have
been enacted, though tardily, in most of
the States, and that these laws are, though
tardily, being in many instances enforced.
For years Pennsylvania has had upon
her statute books laws prohibiting the coni-
pany, or "plack-me,'' stnres. but it is
only recently that the wurkmen, after long
exertion, have been able la accomplish the
practical abolition OF these sources of
supply, which compelled the cmpluye to
accept most of his pay In necessaries OF
life, for which much More than the market
price was charged.
So with false weights, which have been
i'll constant and general use. Wurkmen in
all trades, may congratulate themselves
that their victories for honesty and decency
are al last becouing possible with makers
aud executors uf the law, especially when
they are spnrred 10 action by the eXertions
of the sufferers and by public opinion.

His Retort Courteous.

DR.. Chalmers, the eminent divine, was
fond of telling the following story:
Lady Betty Cunningham having had
some difference OF opinion with the parish
minister. instead Of putting her asusl Goa
tribution in the collecting plate, merely
gave q stately bow. This having occurred
several Sundays in succession. the cider in
charge of the plate at last lost patience,
and blurted out: I'VE cud dae wi less o.
yer manners, an mair o. yer siiler, ma
Teddy"
Dining on one occasion at the house OF a
poblsmnu liz happened TO repeat the anec-
dote, whereupon the host, in a not over
well-pleased tone, said: f
Are you aware, Dr. Chalmers, that
Lady Eetty Is a relative of minc?''
II was not aware, my lord" replied the
doctor; "but, with your permission, l shan
mention the fact the next time tell the
