The waitress in Boston is compelled
to work from 70 to IS hours per day
and in some instances with no Sundays
or afternoons off, for $3.50 per week.
There is now before the city council
of Cleveland, o., an ordinance providing
that all contractors who submit bids
for work must pay a minimum wage
of $3.50 per day, eight hours to consti-
tute a days work.
There has been watch making at
Coventry as long as there has been
watch trade in England, which is for
the last 200 years or whereabouts. There
used to be three centers of the English
trade, these being Liverpool, Coventry
and London. Now there are practically
but two Coventry and Birmingham.

That not only animals but plants
also will have some of their juices or
liquids freeze in the winter time is
well known. Twigs will snap easily
when the thermometer is below zero,
and ice crystals can be readily discerned
by the microscope. But the question,
asks Meehan's Monthly, is do they
freeze solid? The contention is that the
active living cells cannot do this, and
still live.

A wheelman hung his bicycle from
the ceiling of his cellar, not far from a
swinging shelf on which food was kept.
4 mouse jumped from the wall to the
tire of the front wheel, evidently hop

ran toward the highest part of it. It

The queen of Greece is at the head of
an association of women whose object is
the moral regeneration of criminals.
They frequently visit the inmates of the
prisons in Athens, giving them religious
instructions and a sympathetic atten-
ton to their woes. She is also famous
for her skill in fancy needlework,
and creates the most curious and beau
tiful articles. The queen of Portugal is
more frivolous, having the reputation

hair permit any colors, and she often
appears in astonishing costumes.

DON'T FEEL PAIN.
The Kamr's Tough Skin Is Very often
a Grcnt Protection.


Nearly everybody knows that the
Kafiir has an extra skin beyond the
humber apportioned to the white man,
and the fact Of this additional cuticle
may account for the extraordinary in
sensioility of this race to physical pain.
The following facts are vouched for by
a writer as being absolutely correct:
In smithy near Bloemfontein one
afternoon some one noticed a strong
and pungent smell as of flesh burning.
On inquiry being made it was discOv-
cred that q stout Kailir boy was stand
ing barefooted on a red-hOt horseshoe
which had somehow fallen on the
ground. Strange as it may seem he
had not the slightest knowledge that
the burning mass was beneath his foot,
and. although an enormous blister was
soon raised, he averred that he felt no
pain whatever.
All black men have the reputation of
owning thick skulls, but what will be
thought of the Katlir who fell from a
socond-story window, about Is feet,
humping his head on the ground as he
fell, and who rose after few seconds,
brushed the dust from his hair and pur-
sued his way, laughing at the incident2
Another instance of this eXtraordi-
nary insensibility to suffering comes
from a cycle makers shop in Johannes
burg. a Kailir, in the course of his
work, had the whole of his forefnger
nail on the right hand torn off by the
machinery. In an instant he plunged
the mutilated member into a vat con-
tanning boiling alum and bore the pain
with simply slight vince. By resort
ing to this course he showed himself
an adept in the art of self-cure, for a
day or two later the finger was pain.
less, and the nail soon grew again. But
the extraordinary part of the business
is that a process which would probably
have made the ordinary white man lose
consciousness did nothing more in the
case of the Kaffir than elicit grin of
pain.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
