she is allowed to pay it by Install
lnents after she has recovered health.
But when the factory doctor de.
olares the case inourable then the
mill will undertake to pay the ex-
penses which the girl has incurred
on account of sickness and will also
provide her a travelling expense.
Ii is said, therefore, that for one girl
returned to her parents in that way
her employers incur the loss of 30
yen Or so.
The majority of cases of illness
consist of lung trouble. In some
mills the operatives organize what
may be called q mutual relief socie-
ty, with a certain fund, which in
large mills can obtain as receipts in
the form of contribution of officers
and operatives a sum of a little less
than $50 yen in half q year. In en-
gagirg operatives factories general
ly advance to them travelling ex-
penses, to be refunded in two years.
But when the girls go through the
service of three years their en-
ployers will give them by way of a
parting present one-half the expenses
needed in going back. The major
ity of the girls r. engaged through
the medium of agents, to whom the
charge of 20 yen is to be paid at first
by each girl, and also the monthly
charge of 2 yen, all through the
term, the latter being the charge for
acting rs security for the girl. This
responsibility undertaken by agents
must prove highly convenient for
employers, and the latter are there
fore more inclined to get hands
through the medium of agents. At
present, owing to the activity of va
rious industries in the interior, ev-
cry mill finds it difficult to secure
tho services of operatives. Chicago

FINDING HIS PLACE..
The Dominic Had Lost 1t and His Clerk
Reiped Him Out.

q + I'Nb<F ma CoNs
In former days, especially in Eng
land. it was the custom to keep the doors
OF churches 'freligiously open" during
h services. This practice was pictur-
ssque and hospitable. but it had it's in
conveniences. It made, for instance, the
sanctuaries convenient places of refuge
and repose for dogs.
1t is recorded that in a certain church
in Hampshire. England, during the
service n Sunday, two dogs which
had entered the house got into a fight.
The minister ordered his clerk-that
English f%unctionary who sits at a desk
in front Of the pulpit and is ready to
perform all name of services for the
minister-to turn the dogs out"
The clerk ~endeavored to do so, but he
was old and feeble and not equal to the
task of parting OF removing the ami
mails. He went back to the parson aud
reported, "'They won't go, SIR"
"They won't go. eh?" said the min
lister. very wroth. "Well, John, I'll
make 'em 60, l warrant you."
He took Off his surplice and descend
ed to the floor, where the dogs were.
now fighting so fiercely that he had a
terrible time in separating them. In
the melee he rolled over the floor,
times upon the dogs and sometimes I'M
der them, but at last he succeeded in
kicking them quite out of the house.
Then he returned triumphantly to his
place, but in the excitement of the fight
he had forgotten where he left off in the
service He appealed to the clerk.
where was l just now, John?" he
asked.

clerk solemnly, ''a-partin the dogs. -

JAPANESE FACTORY GIRLS.
They Work For Little and Keep Forever
at 1t.

They Work For Little and Keep Forever
at 1t.
Japanese factory girls are divided
into night workers and day workers,
the working hours being generally
10, but when time for tiffin and so
.5orth is taken away the real working
hours do not exceed II. 1t is not,
however, infrequent for girls, when
the business of the mill is pressing,
to work extra six hours or SO. and as
on such occasions they are paid ex-
ira 8 sen they T not much averse
to subject themselves to such ire
mendous overwork. The regular
holidays for girls are about five or
six days per year; also a week be-
ginning from the latter part OF the
year to the beginning of the next
year. And then every week, when
machines r polished and cease run
ming, girls can enjoy a few hours
rest. Though such is tho strain
which the factory work demands Of
them, the number who work unin-
terruptedly for a year or even two
or three years is not small, and there
are some grown up girls that are in
a factory above 20 years. They en-
Joy a monthly salary of 10 yen, keep
q household of their own and can, as
a Japanese gentleman put it, 'even
afford to maintain their husbands. "
The sick rate of girls is very small,
only four Or five girls per day out of
about 1,700 girls employed in one
large mill I visited. Generally in
each mill a regular physician is on
duty and examines and prescribes
for girls who feel themselves indis-
sposed.s When a girl is absent on ao-
count Of sickness. she is allowed a
half of the lowest limit of wages

Mrs. E. L. Nh Linton, the novelist,
tells how George Henry Lewes ones
characterized Thackeray and Dick
in the way of service to a friend.
Dickens, he said, would not give you
a farthing of money, but he would
take no end of trouble for you. He
would spend a whole day, for in
stance, in looking for the most suit
able lodgings for you and would
spare himself neither time nor ia
tigue. Thackeray would take two
hours grumbling indecision and
hesitation in writing a two line tes-
timonial, but he would put his hand
into his pocket and give you a hand
full of gold and bank notes if you
wanted them.

Some Mosquito Facts.

Not one, but three species are rep.
resented among those who venture
into human habitations. The one
whose sting hurts the most is a little
dark brown creature, but a goodly
sized yellow mosquito and a large
sized black variety with striped
legs + backward in making their
presence known.
Mosquitoes are so natural, so Gun.
ming in the manner in which they
sting and draw their blood, that it
will no doubt surprise most people
to be told that sucking human blood
Is only an acquired taste with them.
DR.. Uhler says that their natural
food is slime and d%eleterious organic
matter that would be the cause of
much malaria were it not eaten by
the mosquitoes. Sucking blood is
only an acquired TASTE" says DR..

to do it scientifically. Did you aver

Some years ago, when Mrs. Arthur
Paget was Miss Minnie Stevens and
n of the bellies of New York, a
young brother of the Marquis of
Lorne came over to this country and
fell a victim to the charms of the
fair American. He dared not, how
over, propose to her without tho par
entail sanction, and so a cable was
sent to the duke asking his permits
sion. Word came back: Say moth
ing definite until l have consulted
your brother, whose alliance with
the royal family makes his approval
of your proposed marriage absolute
~ necessary. Argyll"
The Marquis of Lorne felt that, in
Difference to his royal connections,
the Prince of Wales should be asked.
who, in his turn, dutifully said that
he would have to speak to his mother
about it. The queen. upon being ask
cd, replied that since the death of
the prince consort she had been in
the habit of taking advice Oh impor-
tant matters from n of the Ger
man princes, who was a cousin of
her late husband. The prince in
question declined to give an opinion
without first consulting the emperor,
who in his turn passed the matter
on to Bismarck. The latter, upon be-
ing asked whether the duke of Ar
gyll's Sol should be allowed to pro-
pose marriage to Miss Stevens of
New York, replied briefly. He can
do as he Dbl pleases. New
York journal.
Baptism.
And now the folklorists are try.
ing to get back as far as infant bap-
tism. Mr.. Whitley Stokes, in The
Academy, writes, with due defer
ence becoming one who is not a pro-
fessional theologian,' that infant
baptism, parthenogenesis, demonol-
ogy, plurality of heavens, are all to
be found ia the folklore of people
who existed long before Christianity
was thought Of. Heather Norsemen
practiced infant baptism. 1t is
found in the oldest Irish legend.
The Roman l%ustration of infants
shows it. The Azteos, according to
Prescott, touched the infant with
water in honor of the goddess G6s
oatl. Professor Tyler cites three
cases of infant baptism among Wild
Africans who are remote from
missionary influences. The conclhG
sion arrived at is that the ceremonial
cleansing of newborn infants was#
rite found among all pagan races
The doctrine of original sin and re-.
generation came very much later.

for, at any rate, nothing has ever
been found in the stomach of one.
The males can't make q noiss, be-
cause they haven't pair of sono-

now rari. Joked During the Siege.

sA0 ohcK8s
A recent exhibition of French oar
features and comic drawings brought
TO the public eye once more the evil
denoes of the fact that Partisan gay
ETY. was not to be suppressed ever
by the terrible siege that the capital
went through from the German
army. One of these c~arioatures. rub.
lished during the siege, was made to
represent a fashion plate. Various
elegant ladies and gentlemen we're
pictured going about in mattresses,
and underneath the picture was the
legend, Fashions for the lombard
lnent season."
Most of these pleasantries of the
siege turned upon the scarcity of
food, a grim subject which seemed
particularly inspiring to the carioa-
turist of the time. A servant asks
his master, ''Shall / put the horses
IN the carriage today or in the ba.
rouche?' Him." says the master
signing, you may put them in the
oven, pleased"
Not unlike this is another carica-
ture representing a servant making
the familiar announcement to his
mistress, The horses are ready.
madame. WHAT "Yes, madame.
they are on the table!''
Such p%leasantries seem scarcely to
have been d laughing matter to tbs
people who went through those fear
full scenes, but the Parisians must
laugh at something, and these pic
lures prove that they could not think
OF stopping their eayety on account
OF such a lassing incident as a siege
or a famine .-Paris Letter.
