10 Make the Work worth Under
taking.

An Irishnaan walking over a plank side
walk, in counting some money accident
ally dropped a nickel, which rolled down
a crack between two of the boards. The
Irishma was much put out by the loss,
trifling though it was, and continued on
his way swearing audibly. Early the next
day a friend, while walking by the spot,
discovered the Irishman in the act of de-
lsberately dropping a dollar down the
same crack through which he had lost
his nickel. The friend was, of course,
much astonished at what he saw, and,
desiring to learn why Pat should deliber-
ately, to all appearances, throw away
money. Inquired his reasons, and was
fairly taken off his feet by the following
explanation.
1T was this way" said Pat. ITS yes
terday / was passin' his way when
lost a nickel down that hole. Now, l
reasoned that 1t wasn't worth me While
to pull up that sidewalk for a nickel,
but last night a scheme struck me, and
/ am dropping down the dollar to make It
worth me while. Current Literature.

WOMEN AS COAL PAssERI
Heinipsne Laborers Along iii,
Wharyes an .Japauese rfssass

The charmed traveller in Japan goes
70 Nagasakf to find senchantmen
Ihere he sees the fair Japanese maiden
TABOR as a coal-passer and at 'Iongshore
WORK. 1t makes one of the ~strangest sights
OF the queer Orient, with its teeming mil
lions OF peculiar people, to see 50 or 100
women at work with an equal number of
men coaling a ship in the pretty harbor
OF that city. 1t is said that at one time
the work was done almost exclusively bv
women. but that latterIy the girls ana
women ave been gradually giving way
20 their coolie brothers or sons. Many
continue at the work, however. and il
VIII probably be years before the custom
The coaling at Nagasaki is
done from lighters, and a series of ele-
waited and inclined platforms that re-
semble a s~tepladder are affixed to the
side of the vessel. They reach from the
deck of the lighter to the main deck of
the steamer or ship. The coal is handled
in small baskets that will hold from
thirty to forty pounds. The coolies form
in line on the 1adder-like scaffold and
the baskets are quickly passed from one
to another. The best home Illustration
Of the process is to be found in the old
American bucket brigade working on 4
roof fire. The coal passers work yery
quickly. and one gang of mixed coolies,
working from several lighters, has been
known TO give a ship 437 tons in an hour.
In the distribution of the work among a
gang of coolies the woman is shown no
favors. At the bottom of the line the first
lift becomes larger as the coal recedes in
the lighter, and at the top of the line the
lift oyer the rail is hard and the woman
could be favored by placing her in The
centre. On the contrary. however. she is
seen more often at the ends. The work
is very hard, and there is the added dis
comfiture of the flying coal dust, but
both men and women seem very happy.
They laugh and jibe as they hurriedly
pass the seemingly endless line of laden
baskets. The women do not bear the
marks that the American or European
"sweat-shop't caves upon its victims.
They all seem to have health and its ac-
complaining color. Some of the women,
and particularly the older ones, show
biceps and shoulders h would make
some of our men shamefaced. Among
the younger girls are many that would
be called pretty by the admirer of Japan
csc beauty. They all wear the native cos
tune, n nearly all protect their hands
with rough gloves or bindings of cloth.
The evidence of a desire to preserve the
color of their hands is the only indication
of sex in the busy crowd.
The women are not paid as well as the
men, although they do as much work.
Why the discrimination is made is not APP
parent from the anounf of WORK dana ~
