HOW JONAH LOOKED LATER.

An African Convert Supplies History
Where the Bible Is Silent.
Here is composition written by little
African girl at Palmas five years after she
was caught running wild. 1t was read at
missionary meeting by Bishop Clark.
The spelling is corrected:
"HISTORY, GEOGRAPHY AND THE
EARTH"
do you know what history is? His
tory, you know, teaches us what is to hap
pen in the past event. Geography shows
where the thing has happened at History
tells us when Adam and Eve were created
and geography shows US where the Garden
of Eden is-which continent and which
division.
History tells us that Adam was the
first man that was created, and while he
was sleeping God took out one of his ribs
and made Eve. After while he went to
walk among the trees of the garden. Con-
versation took place between her and the
devil. The devil told her to eat some kind
of fruit which God had told her and
Adam not to eat. She took it and ate it;
also took some for her husband. When
Adam saw it he did not take no time to
ask where she got it from.
History, geography and the earth lust
do go together. One tells us about this and
one tells about that, etc. Histories are in
teresting to read, indeed they are. It tells
us about the whale. The whale is the
largest animal in the sea. Whales is spoken
of by the Bible. When God had sent Jonah
to Nineveh to preach to the people about
their sins Jonah refused to go. He went
into ship with some people. He first went
in there to hide from God, but God caused
storm to take place. The ship went from
this way to that way. The people was
afraid indeed, and they began to cast lots.
The lot fell upon Jonah, SO they up and
throwed him into the sea.
while he was going to the very bottom
of the sea he went with this animal, SO the
whale said: My friend where are YOU
goingP' Jonah answered and said unto
him: I have disobeyed my God and am
| trying to hide from his face. The whale
said: You ought to be ashamed of your
SELF Don't you know that neither n or you
can hide from his face?' Jonah said: oh,
whalel l am afraid. donot know what
| am doing or saying The whale said !:
| oh, Jonah, Jonah, hearken unto me,
and take heed to yourself, for, inceed,
will swallow you up soon.' Jonah
said: Have mercy upon me, oh, whale,

SWIFT MACHINERY AND LABOR.
Manufacturers and Workingmen Under
Changing Conditions.

Manufacturers and workingmen Under
Changing Conditions.
We know a manufacturer, employing 700
operatives, who is busy with experiments
to determine the productive unit of work
ing day in the hope of being able to dimin-
ish the number OF the hours of labor In
that day. His idea is to ascertain what
constitutes fair days product and then
to help his employees to fewer hours of labor
by requiring from them only that product.
turned out as it may be in fewer hours than
at present. II nine hours of fresher and
more buoyant labor will turn out the same
product as ten hours of more jaded labor,
he can afford to pay and is disposed to pay
the same wages for the former as for the
latter. His operatives, he believes, by rea-
son of this incentive of more leisure for re-
creation, will do swifter and better work
while they ara employed, and the shorter
working day will be boon to them, while
it will infiict no loss upon him, says the
Boston Transcript.
In the furtherance of such experiments
as this, the Improvements which have been
made in machinery count as an important
factor. These improvements to large ex-
tent have taken the direction of increased
speed. The American Wool and Cotton
Reporter furnishes striking corroborative
evidence on this point. In some print
cloth mills spindles are run at a speed of
from 10, 600 to II 600 revolutions minute,
which is double the rate of thirty years
ago. Broad looms which twenty five years
ago would run 10 picks per minute on
woolens and worsteds are now run at 100
to ITO picks. The improvements in spin
ming machines have resulted in better
yarn, and this enables the looms to do
more rapid and better work. Cotton
looms making print cloths are run up to
210 picks minute, as against a rate of
100 picks minute thirty years ago. The
most remarkable performance was that of
loom at the Worlds Fair at Chicago, run
ming at the rate of $50 picks a minute on
ginghams. There have been similar gains
in carpet-making machinery and in all de.
partments of manufacture.
1t is true, doubtless, that the swifter
machinery is more exacting in it's de-
mands upon the workman. But it re-
suits in very considerable increase in the
product which he is able to turn out. A
part of the advantage of this increase very
properly goes to the manufacturer, as
return upon the increased cost of his plant.
A part of it inures to the public in the form
of lower prices. But part belongs to the
operative, and may properly be realized
by him in the form of fewer hours of labor
or better wages. To certain extent these
gains are already his, and they will be his
to larger degree as such experiments as
that of the manufacturer to whom we re-
ferred at the beginning take shape in a
new schedule adjusted to the new con-
ditions.

iect only to question of rent. Should
there be any dispute the matter will be
submitted to arbitration. Another feature
is that all contracts for building and fur
nishing must be let to members of the ex-
change.
The new Builders Exchange will be
erected on the northwest corner of New
Montgomery and Mission streets, with the
main entrance on the first-named thor
oughfare. The structure will be of brick,
two stories high, with frontage of 80 feet
on New Montgomery street and running
back 50A feet on Mission. The outside Of
the building will be handsomely cemented,
which will add materially to its attractive
ness. The exchange complete will cost
about $4,000, the building alone calling
for $1,000.

the bloom upon her firm, round cheeks,

of suffering akin to the ridiculous. The
isolated opportunities to smile permitted

glimpses of the sweet sunshiny personal

the board of directors. Yesterday the con-
tract between the Builders Exchange and
the Sharon estate was formally signed, and
now all that prevents immediate work on
the building is the fact that the contracts
will not be given out until next Friday.
On that day at :15 P. NJ. the bids will be

The Builders Exchange has a very
smooth-running agreement with the
Sharon estate. The latter is to erect the
building according to the plans accepted
by the building committee, the exc hange
securing lease on the property for five

I wonder who originated the idea that
persons who lack education, taste and re.
inement are compensated by Just heaven
with superior virtue. Are not morals COM
patible with grammar? And what is there
SO profoundly touching in ignorance, ex.
cept. indeed, the ignorance of youth, which
asks for knowledge out of lovely and ap'
pealing eyes?
Chivalry and honor have lived in the
breasts of men polished to their finger
tips, and more than one gentlewoman has
held her virtue to be sacred thing. A
fig for the gush and rapture wasted on the
moral beauty of the unwashed. It is worse
than wicked to be vulgar.
AS for New England life, as for the old
farm life even, localized as it is in stage
pictures and dialect stories-who to-day
out of the vast audiences who have ap
plauded it in the one form and wept over
it in the other-who, say, would go back
and live it out? No one who knows that

bends and bows and sours and spoils its
men, and it brushes life, soul, love and
ambition out of its women. 1t is the hot
bed of malice, the well-spring of all I'M
charitableness.
The Puritan spirit which forbade man
to kiss his wife on Sunday, found sin in
beauty and lodged the devil in song and
laughter, and pinned the Scarlet Letter or
the heart of its dishonored women, is still
stiff in the New England neck. Br-r-r!

At one time the Orpheum held its own
