How TO Make Home Happy.

Happiness seems to be The goal Of
all human desire This being true
and the home having been created Tor
mans happiness, then happiness ought
to be the result IN every home. ! will
not say the aim Of every home life,
for happiness IS not an end to lie
sought, but result Of right dong. 1t
the world would do right then the
world would be happy. If every home
would have for It's ann right dong
there would be happiness IN every
home as a result. All the gloom |
ever saw come into a home life, came
as a result Of wrong doing.
"Don't wait" for happiness to come
TO you.
The source IS within you. Your
own heart determines your home life
If the heart IS evil the life viii be evil.
Keep your heart pure and happy
and all around you will be bright
and cheerful The gloOmiest day that
can come to you viii be filled with
sunshine if there IS sunshine in your
soul.
After all the heart is the source Of
all good or evil and being such deter
mines the kind of life you live.
If God controls your heart your life
will be controlled by Him. This being
true yOur life will be happy.

Your Brother.

A ship was wrecked on the north
west coast of Ireland; and a mother
tried in vain to persuade her son, who
had volunteered to go to the rescue OF
the last man on board the burning ship
to give up the perllous task. She
pleaded that his father and brother
had never come back from the sea,
and that she would be left alone if he
was lost. He resisted her entreaties
and put out to the sinking vessel.
When the boat came back through the
surf, the crowds on the shore shouted,
"Have you got your man?" The re-
ply came, eyes, and tell mother it's
brother William" Are we sure tina,

THAT CUT IN WAGES.
Bostonians Interested In Cot
ton Say Little.
THE VIEWS OF A FALL RIVER MAN.
treasurer OF "A MIL There Says That He
Does Not Anticipate a strike-Cheap-
ness OF Southern Labor Cause
OF the Reduction.

BOSTON, Dec. 1O.-Although Boston
Is the center Of the cotton mill business
of New England the men prominently
CONNECTED with the trade would have
little TO say concerning the action Of the
Fall River manufacturers in voting TO
reduce wages, beginning Jan. /. The
treasurer Of one Of the Fall River mills,
who was willing to discuss the matter
at some length, said he regarded this
cut as the beginning of a serious time,
not only for the FAN River print mills,
but for all the cotton mills, both there
and throughout the state and TO GER
tain extent throughout New England.
The key TO the whole situation he said,
is the relative cheapness Of southern
labor. which could not be better shown
than by the fact that it costs a mill in
Georgia or North Carolina 3h cents 20
produce a pound OF material that in
New England would cost cents.
With this fact in mind, II is evident
that the cut of 10 per cent is not going
70 help matters much, and the only
thing that will do any good at present
viii be a radical cut OF say 20 or 25 per
cent. This would inevitably. bring on
a strike; but with cut OF 10 or II per
cent he says, there would be little like
llhood OF a strike, as the operatives are
well acquainted with the conditions
and know that a reduction of some kind
is necessary. Even this would stu
leave a difference OF about 25 per cent
in the cost OF labor in favor Of the
southern mills-too great a difference
for one 60 struggle against successfully
In the first place, the southern mills
have every natural advantage. They
have cheaper cotton and less burden-
some taxation. Some OF the big mills
In Fall River. for instance, have year.
ly payment OF $4,000, $4,000 and even
$4,000 In taxes 10 make. whereas In
Georgia and North Carolina the mills
are in many Instances completely ex-
empted from taxation for 10 TO II years.
IL Is In labor, however, that the great
difference lies, for the labor in the
south is as good as it IS here and. taken
as a whole. is about 8s per cent cheaper.
The laborers have had about ten years
training In mills started by experience
ed cotton manufacturers and run un-
der their supervision, and the oper-
atves there tend as many machines
and turn out just as good work as
would operatives in the best New Eng
land mills.
Another great advantage that the
southern mills have is in not being ham
pered by legislation. In Massachusetts
the hours of labor are limited 20 5S n
week, while in the south they are un-
limited. This difference OF itself is
enough 20 work heavily against the
New England mills. and this truth is
plainly shown by the fact that from
the millsf OF Maine, New Hampshire
and other New England states where
they have the 60 hour law there has
been no complaint. while the Fall River
mills have been suffering so severely.
The only hope for the New England
mills Is either an Improvement IN
the print cloth market or In a general
evening UP of conditions between the
north and south.

No Cut Ernected There.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Dec TO-
Matthew Hart. secretary OF the Weav-

In this city are so different that a cut
down would not DE likely to occur here.
'In New Bedford" said Mr.. Hart,
"there Is such variety OF goods that
Il Is impossible to establish any stand
ard of wages"
He believed that a shutdown in Fall
River ought TO be agreed upon, as the
contemplated reduction in wages will
simply mean a cheaper production of
goods. and the mills will keep on piling
up a big production at fun speed, TO be
sold at cheaper prices. THE market
will still be overstoeked," he continued
'and when the manufacturers try &c
restore prices in the market they viii
have a hard fight with the jobbers
