Religions Thought.


Touched with the delicate green of early
May.
Or later, when the rose unveils her face.
The world hangs glittering IN star
strewn space,
Fresh as a jewel found but yesterday.
And yet It's very cd. what ongue may

How old II Is? Race follows upon race,
Forgetting and forgotten: in their
pace
Sink tower and temple; nothing long may
stay.
We build On tombs, and live our day, and
die.
From out our dust new towers and tenn

Our very name becomes a mystery.

Cured before the committee on labor in
the hall of Representatives, at CLOCK
Thursday afternoon. The labor people
hearing was opened for the advocates Of
the bill by Il. p. Cahill of Bddeford, who
introduced G. F.. Tinker of Lewiston; vice
president of the Maine Branch of the
American. Federation of Labor. He said
that a number of trades are now working
under a 54-hour law. 1t is. found to be y
direct benefit to the laboring people ana
no injury to the employers. Laboring
people can do as much work in nine
hours as they can in 10 hours: The work
ing people need the extra hour to i'm
prove their minds and enjoy the advah-
tageS of modern civilization.
Mr.. Cahill then stated that 1t was hard
to get u proper representation of the Ia
boring men before such a committee be-
their employers. and he asked the CON-
mittee to keep that in mind.
/. The next speaker in favor OF the bid
,, was Walter Field of Lewiston, who rep
resented the Central Labor Union of Au-

to the fact that the 5f-hour movement

Indian Professional Dyers,

The number of professional dyers
in India is fast diminishing. Aniline
dyes and cheap European goods are
killing thoir trade. They are being
compelled to turn their attention to
new handicrafts, just as French
competition and the vagaries of
fashion caused the ribbon makers
of Coventry to seek newlivelihood
in the manufacture of bicycles. Ami
line dyes have made every man his
own dyer. Formerly the oompli
Gated processes by which indigenous
dyes were prepared made the dyer
specialist.
Nowadays anybody can dissolve
the chemical powders sent out from
Europe and color his own clothes.
Tho aniline dyes are more brilliant,
and, to the native, they have the
suporlntive merit of cheapness.
They are not so fast, and they lack
tho delicacy of color which, judging
by the specimens annexed to the
monograph, distinguish the Indian
dyes, but their gaudiness makes
them moro popular and go the fate
Of tho native dyer is sealed. Silk
dyeing, cotton dyeing, and carpet
dyeing are all declining. The fault,
1t should be added, is to some exten,
due to the conservatism of the ma
tive dycra themselves. They persist
emily adhere to their crude methods
of preparing their dyes, and show
lamentable lack of ingenuity in pre-
pairing new designs. .-Bongal Gov
