The Irish Laborer In England,

1t is asked, Why should the Irishman
come over to make the hay and reap the
crops in England and Scotland, and
how is it that he goes home again and
does not stay? That he comes over is
evidence that he is not unwilling to
work. He is sent for by the farmer be-
cause his wages are low. That he re-
turns home is not matter of sentiment
alone, nor due to the fact that he returns
to Roman Catholic country. The win
ter is milder than in Scotland, the rent
is cheaper than paying for lodgings in
Scotland, the turf fire is warmer and
more cheerful than the small coal he
must buy at high price in Scotland.
The turf fire costs him perhaps CD for
the family for all the year. While the
man works abroad the family live
cheaply at home and till the potatoes
and fatten the pigs. There art thus good
reasons why migratory labor should pay
the Irish peasant best, and the change
is welcome to him when life would 9TH
erwise be very monotonous. Boys and
girls look forward to the end of their
school days and to the time when they
may go to the harvesting; or, still bet
ter, to the "oil works." where some 80
shilings week may be earned. The
Irish peasant requires no one to teach
him his own interests in this respect,
and he works hard for spell, looking
forward to the idle winter hefore him
at home. -Blackwood's Magazine.

lican tells a story Of the way he got
ahead Of some Of the college boys when
he was freshman at Amherst. It was
the custom then to smoke out the fresh
men. A party of dozen or more of the
fellows would enter the room Of an un-
suspecting boy, light their pipes and
smoke until the victim gave in and Of

pipes and had no tobacco about them.

Charles 81 and ordered him to 20 out

the apathy of the members to free railroad

over, the members leave for home, and
thus save part Of their board bill. They

Of an economical turn they have made up
their minds to save as much of their sal.

WEDNESDAY. APRIL Al. 1897.

THERE was real live meeting Of bust
moss men at the Board of Trade rooms last
evening. Men who are careful and fairly
successful In business do not always know
what is taking place In our city, outside
OF their particular line of business. The
meeting was called by tho members Of the
Board of Trade for the purpose of de-
nouncing the bill offered by Senator Pyle
to the Legislature, relating to the manage
ment Of the Wilmington City Railway
Company. The bill was instigated by
Mr.. Peter J. Ford, who aimed particularly
at the long hours employees are compelled
to work, the running of summer cars In
winter, the occupying Of streets on which
cars are not run and the bad condition of
the road bed on Front strest. After quite
lively exchange Of views by several gen.
tlemen, a committee was appointed to CO.
operate with Mr.. Ford and the managers
OF the Wilmington City Railway Company
to devise methods and means by which the
city railway facilities may be improved
and extended, including the Front street
line, The City Railway has been the
means of developing our city and should
not be unnecessarily hampsred, but then
they should not imagine they own the
artb, without being willing to pay some
thing for the privilege.

interesting to note that there have been
in the annals Of art NOS few instances
Of noted artists whom stress Of misfor-

Du Maurier once painted signs, and
more than one Of his contemporaries
could If he would tell q tale of similar
employment Of his brush.
In the history of American art there
have been some cases of men who found
sign painting more remunerative than
work of a higher character. Perhaps tho
best known was Matthew Pratt Of Phil
adelphia, talented portrait painter,
who, having family to support, hon.
estly turned his hand in intervals Of
leisure to the production Of tavern signs
and banners for political conventions.
On the other hand, there are not
few instances Of sign painters abandon
