WHEELS FOR SHOP GIRLS.

The question OF giving their last seasons

spins on a wheel which was the gift of
some charitable woman in better financial

fare OF working girls, and women inter
ested in charitable works have expressed a

purchase of new wheels. TO give their old
ones to the factory girls through the various
clubs and societies formed for their ben

ton here in New York.
Rev. S. Parks Cadman had no pre- iudlce
against the use Of the wheel, but ON the
contrary favored its use in moderation by
either sex. He said he considered 1t a
healthful and enjoyable means of exercise,
and could see no reason why working girls
should be deprived of its benefits, il the
haritable people of New York wo1ld be
good enough TO provide them with wheels
when they themselves have done with them

mutually interdependent all branches OF
modern business have become. and that
they have become so purely from motives
or economy on all sides, 1T must be mani
fest that We have erred in not making
land more freely available TO industry all
along the line.
We have been trying to stimulate capital
lists to hire men, apparently forgetting that
modern hringis made possible ouly through
the work of whole communities engaged in
the various parts OF the general industrial
porcess.
Boehm- Rawerk well Illustrates this idea
In the following words:

does il cons list OF consumption OF goods al
ready in the finished STATE, but OF products

cretcy:

over score of harvests.
"SapliDg and tree, wheat and machine,
are alike parts of that wealth which is
available for the laborers' demand in It's
continuity. Thus it is seen that the func-
ton of wealth is to support the working
life. with it's increasing claims during
its work Instead Of making wealth the
final cause of industry, or the beginning nd
limit of industry, this conception places
wealth in the center of the working world
during its rise 10 higher levels of working
lire.''
This is quite different conception from
that which places capitalist in a factory
with some hired men and machinery, and
treats this as n complete industry in itself.
when we bring before our minds the entire
process of production. with it's interchange
of commodities, vast quantities Of which
would be utterly useless but for the fact
that trade is an economy, business in gen.
eral assumes the character of an Organic
unity, in which all the parts are adjusted

Thus conceived, the fact will be recos-

solutely dependent for their existence On
the successful operation of others; and when
we trace the connection down to the last
link in the chain, We find that the vast
superstructure has for its foundation moth
ing but labor ard land. 1t may be hired
labor, in which case the labOrer Is selling
the whole of his product directly to the

THINGS SAID BY PARROTS.
Stories offered ss Proof That the
Birds Knew What They Saying.

Birds Knew What They Saying.
The old idea that parrots did not under
stand what they said seems to have been
exploded by stories OF instances where the
birds have used phrases exactly adapted
to the circumstances. There is story
of parrot whose feathers had been singed
before it was rescued from Il burning build
ing. The parrot said:
THAT was ID hot. s,
A sailor sold a talking parrot to q
preacher 1t talked Sailor talk in a way
that distressed it's owner, who consulted
friend and was told that the way to
break the bird of the habit of swearing
was to thrash it soundly. The thrashing
was duly administered. When the bird
got its tongue UNFINISHED its first remark
was:
THAT wasa HI OF q cyclone"
A bird that had been, hung out in tree
was forgotten. whena thunder show er came
up and drenched 1.-THE bird sat silent for
a while, but the rain kept falling faster and
faster The bird began to scream:
Its wet, wet dee, but it's wet; rains
like all creation"
When parrot gets hungry it will, II alone,
become nervous, working from one end OF
its perch to the other and back again, look
ing about as if 1t wondered where all of the
folks were. Then it hegins to mediate out
loud:
"Polly's hungry, dreadful. Where's Pol
ly's master? Polly's tired. Polly's thirsty.
It's hot; Polly wants cracker. )" Then should
some one stir in an adjoining room the bird
screams its Polly wants cracker" adding
''Quick" to it ometimes.
In Brooklyn house there's parrot. One
day the cat came in and looked at the bird,
licked its chops to think how good the
breast would taste. Just then the mistress
OF the house came in, and, seeing the cat,
drove it out, saying:
"Scat! Get out You'll eat Polly"
The bird sat with its head cooked on one
side. silent. A couple of days later the
cat got into the room unnodced by anyone
but the bird Suddenly the parrot gave a
yell, and then said:
"Cat eat Polly! Get outl Get out! Sc-a-t"
The scat was long drawn out, and. was
repeated with a jerk. The mistress got
there Just In time to see the cat leap at
the bird When the two were separated
the sird said:
