MRS. BLACKS CHURCH.
Her COacilman Thought It Too Humble
 For 8 Cabinet Lady.

neE COHCnnlAn 1hOuRh6 It Too Humble
 For Cabinet Lady.
 During Mrs Jeremiah Blacks life in Washington, when her distinguished husband was ill the cabinet, she was one of the most efficient helpers in the early struggles of the Vermont Avenue Christian church. With the little hand full of that faith who ''broke bread" in some private house or obscure hall, she went regularly. A we'll remember ed anecdote of that time illustrates her fidelity and at the same time her gen. tie, kindly nature. The church was meeting in Temperance hall. Judge Blacks driver, Peter, sensitive for the honor of the family, or more so for his carriage, felt it to be something of disgrance to stand before such a build ing on Sunday. One day he touched up on the subject as gently as he could by saying:
 Mrs. Black, that ain't a very fine church you and the judge go to-
 No, Peter, said the lady, "it is not a very grand one.
 ''Mrs. Black, do you 'speo' to 'tend that church every Sunday?"
 "Yes, Peter, until they get better one"
 "Well, Mrs. Black, I wanted to ax you somethin, though don't much like to say it. marm. y
 "What is it, PeterP'
 Well, marm, wanted to tell you de drivers of de other members of de cabinet kinder makes fun of me bout standin fore dat meetin house, and l wanted to ax you if you hadn't no ob- jection to let me drive down to dat fine Presbyterian church where de other big men go and stand dere wid my carriage until your meetin is out, an den drive back for you and de judge. !"
 "All right Peter, if you'll be on time, " said Mrs. Black, and Peter satis- fled his mind that he saved the credit of the family and of his horses and car riage afterward by standing regularly with the fine turnouts of the other cab inet officers. Washington Post.

ANCIENT CORPORATIONS.
Trade MOnOpOlies That Were Almost Say
 age In Their Operation.

Trade MOnOpOIies That Were Almost Saw
 age In Their Operation.
 Apprentices became no better than serfs and slaves. They were not merely pitilessly fined and brutally punished, they were often left ill ignorance of the craft that they had purchased the right to learn. In that frightful social and moral revulsion following the long and devastating wars of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries the corporations became moro determined than ever to maintain thcir industrial aristocracy and monopoly. They refused to admit any trade less ancient and honorable than their own to the rights and privi- leges of the law; they soiled themselves by contact with no person of illegiti- mate birth; and in their savage and re- lentless pursuit of persons engaged in unauthorized traffic they invaded the homes of contraband workmen, confls- eating both their tools and the hidden products of their toil, leaving them and their families destitute and starving.
 To such absurd lengths was the cIea- tion of corporations carried for the pro duction of new taxes and new places for court favorites that occupations like the teaching of dancing, the selling of flow CTS and the catching of birds were or ganized, and homogeneous occupations like the hatmakers' and carpenters were divided and subdivided beyond the comprehension of the modern mind But despite the ingenuity of lawyers and the vigilance of armies of inspect ors the lines of demarcation could not be drawn so sharply us to avoid con- flicts of intcrC sts The makers of felt hats quarrclCd d with the makers of cot ton hats. Tho spinners who had pur- chased the right to use hemp quarreled with those that had purchased the right to use flax. The shoemakers fought with the cobblers that reproduced more than two-thilds of an old shoe. The cut. lers that made tho handles of knives fought with those that made the blades. The relations of tho makers of wooden porringers and the makers of wooden spoons were equally belligerent. - Franklin Smith in Popular Science Monthly.
