WORK AND MUSIC.
WEST INDIAN TOILERS ARE WILLING TO

not one which c0mmends itself to the practical
mind OF the Northern business man. If Jack

work and no play process. he Is. in this part of
the world. advised keep the severely
separate, and literally to fulfil Scripture in
earning his bread by the sweat of his brow.
Yet here and there, even in this stronghold of
hard sense" has been felt the influence of the
more CHEEKY South which no sin in far
mitigating the severity of the original
to allow those who may to win their sustenance
to the pleasant sound Of song. At least two
cigar factories, one in New-Jersey and another
in Philadelphia, allow music, in the case in
Strumental and IN the other vocal, in their
shops. This has been brought about by the fact
that the majority of the employees had been
custOmed to the practice in other countries. and
the innovation is hardly likely gain ground.
on the other hand, music reading aloud is
commonly furnished in the cigar factories of
Tampa and Key West The work is in
any way interfered with, and the workers are
thereby kept interested.
Further south. among the less prosperous but
perhaps not less happy West Indies. the pleas
ant custom Of working to the accompaniment
of music has been developed To an extent amaz-
ing TO the Northern visitor. In factories the
negroes sing hymns While their busy hands
shape cigars pare fruit. ON every ship
hears the sound of song. Indeed, it is among
the sailors that the institution is found in all
its glory, any who has been privileged
