OF the sort Of folk who gathered before James
Christie's walls. Gillrays plate is called "A
Peep at Christe's: Tally-hO and His Nimeney
Pimeney Taking Their Morning Lounge" The
plate represents the Earl Of Derby with Miss
Farrcn whom he was later to marry, and who
had obtained the nickname bestowed upon her
by Gillray in this print by her performance of
the part OF Nmeney Pimeney in Burgoyne's
"IIciress" The satire in the print is fierce. but
in the Earl's absorption in a sporting print and
in Miss Farrer's rlincing elegance. as well as in
the costumes OF all the figures in the plate.

He is Done With Negro Labor.

Capt. Graham, wEc is the reprcsen-
tative of those interested in the new
hosiery mill recently established at
Hopkins, now to oe brought to Colum-
bia, yesterday talked Interestingly Of
the removal. He said that the mill
was located at Hopkins in order to
utilize the negro labor which was so
abundant in that vicinity. He went
on to say that they had given the
negro labor thorough test and found
that it was absolutely unified for the
operation of the mill. In fact the
negroes proved lazy and slow, and did
not seem to "catch on" no matter
how much instruction was given.
With full force he found that the
mill was steadily losing money. Then
he cut the force to see if by operating
only a portion Of it, giving close
attention to those employed, the mill
could not be madet to earn expenses.
This experiment also failed to make
expenses, and arshort time ago he
shut the mill down altogether.
He will now move the mill to
Columbia and use only white labor.
Capt. Graham had plenty Of expert
ence with labor in Columbia, being

II Water Never Froze.

The whole ceremony Of nature would
undergo a startling change if water
never froze. The worlds climates
would be revolutionized. The ice
bound polar seas would cease to e1-
ercise their chilling influences, and
consequently the currents of the ocean
might either cease or be turned aside
in different directions.
Thus the Gulf Stream would seek
other shores than those Of Britain,
and the climate there might be sub
jeot to the extremes of heat and cold
noticeable in other countries of the
same latitude. The iee-b bound rivers
Of the North, notably those Of Russia
and Siberia, would be open for naviga-
ton, and Russia's activity as a sea
power and commercial nation might
alter the whole world Of commerce.
Canada would become another coun-
try altogether. IN immense tract Of
land would be available for cultivating
hardy plants, and Greenland might be
what its name indicates The absence
of icebergs off the coast of Newfound-
land and Iceland would result in a
much warmer climate in those islands,
where now the crops often fall.
Ice, too, plays an important part in
the economy of nature. Thus, if wa
ter never froze, snow, hail and hoar
frost would cease. The loosening Of
soils and the disintegration Of rocks
by the frost, and many other now vital
effects would be on the one hand an
incaleulable disaster, on the other
hand a great boon. n.-Rearson's Weekly.

use a ring that he might be certain of
the size. This ring is looped around the
index and little finger of his left hand,
and thus delays the work of gathering
very little. Mr.. Wire showed that brains
were as necessary in gathering fruit as
in any other work, and showed that 1t
was hard to hire enough brains to do the
work satisfactorily. Mr.. Wire believes
that the lemons cannot be handled too
carefully, and urges that they should
never be picked when wet. The club will
