An Explanation Wanted.

TO the Editor of the Journal and Courier
In reading Mr.. T. e. Davies letter in
your issue of March 81, I was moved"
to make a reply, l regret that Brother
Davies did not feel moved to answer his
clerical friend who suggested con
certed effort to move these people to do
their duty because his letter was then
becoming intensely interesting, and
really led one to expect an explanation,
not Of what pointed out to Mr.. Davies
in my letter of March II, viz, that the
large majority of those attending
church were either unemployed, or only
getting just enough to enable them to
be employed, but Of the question Of the
enormously rich" and the ''uncom-
fortably poor" To say that 1.-THE mall
ady now drying up the streams of be-
nevolence in the churches is undue con-
centration Of wealth" is like saying that
a man died of starvation through an in
sufficient supply of food What we
want to get at is what makes the undue
concentration of wealth possible, on the
one hand, and the 'uncomfortably poor"
on the other. Be it remembered that
this is inside the church, and not out in
the wicked world where alone such
things are supposed to be.
The time has gone by for mere state
ments of facts which are apparent to
everyone. In these days of public
schools and universal education, we
must get at the root of things, and we
are on the alert for teachers who can
answer us. We appeal to those who
have assumed the positions of teachers,
who have devoted themselves to the spe-
cialty of teaching us how to die and we
now demand that they tell us how to
live or forever hold their peace. ''Ap-
proXimate equality in respect to culture
and wealth is indispensable to the high
est form of human goodness True,
my brother, true! Now please tell us
how we are to get it. The man who
could frame such a sentence, should be
able to show how 1t can be realized.
Otherwise, it is meaningless,

NJ The Woman's Industrial council has
brought to light some startling facts
relating to child labor in London. In
addition to their regular school attend
ance, compelled by inspectors, this re-
port shows that LAB children worked
from nineteen to twenty-nne hours, 729
from thirty to thirty-nine hours and 2S5
forty hours and more in the week, In
one instance, and it is unfortunately
only typical, a boy worked for an UNI
dertaker twenty-three and half hours
a week. and for remuneration received
lust one cent per hour and half cent
thrown in. A teacher in one of the city
schools said that the boys engaged in
selling newspapers were so tired when
thew came to class in the morning that
he had enough to do to keep them
awake.

Boston congratulates itself on a
marked decrease in drunkenness during
the last three years. Tn 1896 there We're
20,S40 arrests for this offense. In 1897
the number declined to 1922, and in
1898 to 1928. The improvement, in the
opinion of the court officials, is due in
part to more prosperous times and in
dustrial activity. But the probation
system also is working well. The case
of prisoner brought in for drunken
ness is carefully investigated, and if
circumstances warrant it, the offender
is put on good behavior. The probation
officer says that often wives come in to
report that their homes have been made
pleasant by this regulation.

The Bishop of London speaks thus
about confession: 1.-THE practice of con-
fession can only become habitual if it
IS required as a necessary preliminary
for the reception of the Holy Commun-
ion. This it can never be in the Church
OF England, and I do not think that the
temper of the English people is such
that they are ever likely to accept it
voluntarily to any great extent 1 con-
slider that its general adoption would
show weakening of the moral fibre of
the English character"

THE DUTCH HOUSEWIFE
Her COnatnnt DeAire for C1e.antness
Amounts Almost to n
Crnae-

The Dutch woman is before and
above all things a housewife. Indeed,
her love of home comes very near akin
to worship, and the greatest compli-
ment that can be paid to her is to praise
the neatness and sweetness of the
house that is her kingdom, says the
Girls Realm. She is famous all the
world over for her remarkable cleanli-
ness, and even in the very poor quar-
tiers of the cities, where the houses are
small and crowded together, the win
dows are daintily decked with cur
tains of spotless white, the rooms well
swept and tidy, the humble furniture
carefully busted and polished.
This desire for cleanliness. in fact,
almost amounts to craze, and house
wives and servants alike eviTce strong
partiality for scrubbing. cleaning and
washing. Even in well-to-do families
a domestic training is considered anat-
ural and necessary adjunct of the
daughters education, and each has GER
tain household duties apportioned to
her She is likewise taught to make
her own dresses, TO knit her own stock
ings and to keep her wardrobe in re-
pair.
Nor does she shirk these duties, as it
is to be feared SO many of her English
sisters do; on the contrary. they are
carried out faithfully. cheerfully and
as matter of course, and il is due to
this excellent training in her cirlhood
days that the Dutch woman makes so
model a housewife. We might 90 fur
ther and say that it is through this
training that the Dutch girl has earned
the reputation Of being free and light
of heart. and a stranger to the feeling
of ennui,' since she is always health
fully and helpfully employed.

OUT OF TUNE.

of Tone,

The girl had new piano. She was .
musical girl, and it was as nice piano
as could be found. When she had it
properly set up and ready for use there
was probably not a happier girl. But
as she sat down to play look of dis
content and wonder spread over her
face. 1t was strange. but this new
piano was certainly out of tune; GER
tain notes sounded like the hammering
of piece of iron. That would never
do; she couldn't play on n piano like
that; she couldn't understand it. either,
forcertainly thatpiano had very sweet
tone in the shop. So the piano man was
sent for in great haste, and came to see
what the trouble was, very much as
tonished himself. He ran his fingers
over the piano and then, turning, gazed
curiously around the room.
"That is most curious and i'm
pertinent man." thought the girl, as
she watched him, his fingers moving
over the keys, but his eyes wander
ing searchingly from one piece of
furniture to another. Finally he left
the piano, went to a stove in the room,
tucked piece OF paper under one ieg'
and went back to the piano. when,
strange to say, every note was as sweet
and clear and full as could have been
desired and there was not suspicion
of discord. During the cold weather
stove had been placed in the room, and,
not standing evenly, with certain vi
brations of the piano it was made to
=. f..t1 ,-aI T.
tering of iron, which, coming simui-
taneously with the striking of the keys
on the piano, sounded as il that instru-
ment had produced the disagreeable
sound.
THAT is all right now" said the man
as he left the piano, ''only it was stove
man you needed instead of the piano
man."

gold tooth, and then the Yankee man
got an idea. In short time there was
an epidemic OF gold teeth. The novelty
