A Peculiar Problem.

There is a shirt waist problem in New
ark. New Jersey, and this is the cause o!
it: The proprietors of ice cream parlors in
that city insist that the girls who serve
customers shall be dressed Immediately.
weather like this the change must be
made every day. The girls receive two
dollars and a half a week. The problem is
How is the girl to live after she has paid
her laundry bill?
OF course, many of the girls live at
home, and thus do not have to pay cash for
all their expenses. In fact, this is the
thing which keeps wages below living
point. But others do not live at home,
and it can easily be seen that with laun-
dry bill of a dollar and a half or
two dollars per week it is i'm
possible at such wages to eat or to sleep.
The girls very naturally think that they
would rather give up the clean shirt waists
than the privilege of living. They claim
that il the employers make such rule
the least they can do is to pay the laun-
dry bills.
There is no doubt that a dainty and
pretty uniform adds much to the attrac-
tiveness of any place in which eatables
are served. There is also no doubt that
such a uniform costs considerable money
Whether this should be paid by the wear
er, who gets no benefit from 1t. or by the
employer. who does, is the question before
the public. The case is In some ways a
typical one. There are dozens of trades
and businesses in which the employe is
required to dress WELL and is not paid for
this extra outlay. The low wages come
partly from the fact that in such busi-
nesses there is always a pressure OF COM
petition. owing to the fact that many peo-
pie like "kid-glove business in which
they need not soil their hands. The result
OF all this is that the girls who work in
kitchens and wear calico and the shirt
sleeved and grimy men who toll in machin,
shops often make more money than those
whose nominal salary is high.
1t is rather doubtful whether legislation
can settle this difficulty. There is no doubt
that walters and Mattresses, as class, are
underpaic. The girls who serve in this
in mountain resorts are secured
by contract. They are obliged to sign an
agreement at the beginning Of the season,
themselves to forfeit their wages,
wholly or in part II they leave before the
end Of the season: and they are not paid

The Anslo-snxon breakfast.

There have been many speculations
| about the superiority of the Anglo Saxon
| race and the cause of 1t, and nobody has
yet advanced theory on this subject
which is not open to dispute. Hence it
| may not be amiss to offer one more theory
One of the most typical things about the
great Anglo-Saxon race is its breakfast
The French breakfast is not a breakfast.
| according to Anglo-Sa ideas. 1t Is split
into two parts-a roll and cup of coffee
| or chocolate before dressing, and an elab-
crate "dejeuner a Ia fourchette' some
where in the vicinity of twelve o'clock. The
first half of this breakfast serial is pre-
sented in close room in which the break
faster has slept for several hours, 1t Is
no wonder that he objects to solid fcoi
amid such surroundings. The second half
of the breakfast is hearty enough to re-
quire some little time for proper assimi-
lation. The ordinary human being would
not. under this regime. be able to go about
any very serious work till early afternoon.
The breakfast of England and America
Is very different article. 1t is all in one
piece. and takes place between seven and
ten in the morning. 1t consists of some
fruit or marmalade cereal, followed by
eggs. meat. bread. and tea or coffee. After
this meal the average man is ready for
brisk walk down town and does not want
anything more to eat till he has been at
work several hours. He thus is enabled
to devote the freshness of the morning
when he is full of life and vigor and re-
freshed by sleep, to work which requires
energy; and he is by no means tired out
in the afternoon. After his days work is
over he eats hearty dinner. in the early
evening. He does not, unless strictly
society man, defer this ceremony till eight
or nine O'Clock. Thus he has a hearty ap-
petite for his breakfast the next morning.
which might not be the case if he adopted
the fashion Of the late dinner.
OF course. this rule does not by any
means affect the whole population of either
England or America: but the French
breakfast has never found any great IA
vor in either country. In the rural parts
of this land the noon dinner still exists.
but in places where this is found the
breakfast hour usually retreats TO six in
the morning. and after five or six hours OF
manual labor the average workman is
quite ready for a hearty meal. nor does it
injure his health to have another at night
But wherever the dinner hour happens to
be. and whatever the nature of that meal,
the breakfast is substantially the same
among English-speaking races: and the
whole day is thus secured for labor. The
great Anglo-Saxon race is averse TO work
ing on its nerves. May not this break
fast habit have something TO do with the
ineradicable energy and general effective
ness of the English and American people.

BISHOP sTALEYs DEATH.
Interested to the Last in the Church
in Hawaii.

Further particulars of the death of
the Right Rev. DR.. Staley, first bishop
of Honolulu, have reached us by letters
from members of his family, writes
Rev. Alexander Macintosh in the Ang
lican Church Chronicle. The bishop
had been ailing for hearty two years.
Affecting incidents in his parish and
the death of a favorite grandchild
preyed upon his mind and undermined
his health He was taken TO Bourne
mouth for a more salubrious climate,
but he gradually failed and literally
fell asleep on All Saints Day. The
funeral ceremonies were held at the
parish church of Bournemouth, the vi
car officiating. The service was choral
and followed by the Holy Communion.
The remains We're buried in the church
yard of Roscombe by the side of his
brother. Bishop Staley never ceased to
take interest in the church in Hawaii
and one of his last acts was to send
donation to the present bishop for the
extension of the mission work among
the islands to the south. He intended
this to be an annual subscription. Mrs
Staley and the family consisting of two
sons and four daughters will have the
deep sympathy of their Hawaiian
friends.
