mia. Death in these cases is analogous
to strychnine poisoning
The same scientist has shown that
women are more susceptible to lead
poisoning than men, yet they are en-
ployed by preference because they per-
form just as much work, but for mere
pittance, the average earnings being
"A cents day. or 81 a week for sew
enty-two hours work.
Some women are at work In the fac
tories who have been there forty years,
but the lead poisoning has distorted
these fearfully, nearly all of them being
oross-eyed, and the limbs of many are
also twisted by paralysis. Knee jerk"
and wrist drop" are such common all
ments among these workers that they
attract not the slightest notice.
So much pressure has recently been
brought upon Sir Matthew White Rid
ley the English home secretary. in re-
gard to this evil that he has issued an
order prohibiting the employment of
women in the lead factories after June,
1897 The chief reason for governmental
interference was the fact that the lead
women. most of whom are married, sell
dom give birth to live children and
even when born naturally, the children
rarely live. One case brought to the
notice of the home secretary cited ar
instance of lead worker who had
given birth to eight children, none of
whom had lived to be twelve months
old.
All Of the women employed in the lead
factories are forced to wear resprators,
or muzzles, as they are called. but these
are small protection against the pois-
onous matter as the death and sick
lists show. Moreover they are under
constant medical inspection. and are
laid off when acute phases of disease
appear but they resort to many expe-
dients to hide these evidences, as lay
/ ing off" means real starvation for them
! ard their children.
| In all large cloth factories the work.
/ ers suffer from the dust from the cut
! tings, which gets into the lungs and in

wear watches because of the permeating
! dust, and if watches are ruined by it

particularly the case in the great Eng
| lish shops at Leeds, where oil cloth is

He found nook for her, and they
crouched down just as furious shower

got wet, for there was room to shelter

Millie grew pale, but she set her lips

I've an idea that this would be rather
nice spot for picnic-not half bad"
Old Jack Grice bent nearly double
with laughter the moment Ted's figure
disappeared around the cliffs, and then
he went home to tell Betsy the joke.
She was a shrewd old woman and gave
it as her opinion that Ted was in love.
Meantime Ted hurried back to the ho
tel in a sort of panic; he felt uneasy sud-
denly because he had been absent for
several hours and Fielding might be
taking the opportunity.
A set of tennis was being played on
the asphalt court; Millie was not there.
He went and leaned on the fence that

the shore below both visible from this
point. Neither Millie nor Fielding was
in view.
So he went in and looked for them
in the public sitting rooms. There was
not a sign of either. Until the gong
summoned all the visitors down to
table d'hote he was unable to find her,
and then he learned casually that she
was out for drive with her mother.
1t was Ted who proposed picnic and
Ted who suggested the best spot for
one.

to be talking together.

Mile. Her face was radiant. and she
J entered into the plans with all her heart.
Ted saw her smile and stepped back
aghast.
! II should much prefer quiet day on
the shore" said Mr.. Fielding in lower
tone.
Millie glanced at Ted and then she
slipped away. Somehow she now felt
out of heart with the picnic. AS for Ted,
there was nothing he would have liked
better than to take Mr.. Fielding by the
i throat and throttle him.

the next morning broke bright and
sunny. brisk wind that afterward
became boisterous was blowing from the
sea. With baskets of provisions and
long sticks-which they called their al
penstocks-the party started for the
love rock
They took their lunch in the shelter of
the cliffs. The tide was out and the love
rock stood up gaunt and jagged in full
view. They intended to explore it that
afternoon.
The tide had turned before the party
reached the rock, and now the wind was
so strong that few less daring spirits
turned back. Ted kept close to Millie,
who refused to give up the object of the
picnic. though Mr.. Fielding advised and
almost commanded her to desist.
The rest were too intent upon the diff
culties of their way to notice that Ted
and Millie had struggled round to the
other side. and the return party were
already well on their way home. Clouds
were gathering in the horizon and every
moment the wind was rising.
Ted was right in thinking that the fur
ther side was more sheltered; in fact,
so well sheltered was it that he and Mil
lie were easily able to ascend, though it
was much sleeper here.
Half way up they stopped. and as
they sat in nook to rest they heard how
fierce the wind was now.
How the wind is blowing" said
Millie. And what is that booming?
Don't you hear it?"
II expect it's the breakers somewhere
further along the shore.''
1T makes me nervous. Are you GER

the tide surrounds us?'
IF we don't" answered Ted, 1--WE shall
all have rather interesting adventure.
At least ten of us are on the rock. The
sea never covers it,"
1T would be rather good fun" said the
girl little doubtfully.
When she was rested they started once
more on the ascent. Ted did not want
to get to the top. He had not yet told
her his secret, and he was determined to
speak before they left.

Considerable attention is being given
h England just now to investigating the
various trades and occupations which
are said to jeopardize the health and lives
of the workers. And some appalling facts
have been discovered, but it is doubtful
II these will lead to remedial legislation,
for the victims are the poor and the ig-
norart. who are quite as much opposed
to the investigation as are the oppressors
themselves. Living always upon the
verge of starvation, as their forefathers
did for generations before them, these

for themselves and their children. They
are Content to work and die, as their
fathers and mothers did and as their
children will do.
But while England certainly heads the
list as a nation with killing occupations,
the name conditions exist here, but in a
much less aggravated form. And there is
no remedy unless the demands of COM
merce be arrested, and to make that pos

ELEPHANT AND POLICEMAN

A most remarkable incident happened
in the early hours of Sunday morning to
a police constable on duty in the High
road. Clapton. 1t appears that on Sat
urday night a. travelling circus gave a
performance on Mount Pleasant fields,
and, as usual. struck the tent soon after
the close of the entertainment Among
the animals was a performing elephant.
and this, in the charge of a keeper. was
despatched to the next stopping place.
All was quiet as the pair logged along,
Road. Clapton, the keeper noticed that
the elephant would walk on the pave
ment but he little thought of the trick
it was about to play. Standing just
round the corner of the road was a po-
lice constable sheltering from the wind.
and quite unconscious of the approach
of the elephant, whose tread gave forth
no sound. AS the animal reached the
corner he put his trunk round and just
touched the constables arm. The lat
ter turned to see what it was. and on
seeing the elephant was seized with
alarm, and took to his heels along the
road, closely pursued by his tormentor.
The keeper tried to call the animal back,
but it was of no avail for the retVat-
ing figure of the constable occupied the
sole attention of the elephant, who kept
up the pursuit until the officer darted
into a garden and closed the iron gates
behind him. The elephant stood at the
other side of the railings, but made no
attempt to get at him. and. much to his
relief, on the arrival Of the keeper, turn
ed and went on it's way.-Westminste
