WONDERFUL ADVANCE
MADE in THEIR WORK.


youngest apprentice was a hard one.
He did about al the rough work that
no one else would do after that he
got a bench, and then began to learn
his trade" but with all his disadvan-
stages he could, if he would, become an
expert workman, although he worked
on the cut and dry rule. The work,
however, was of the hardest kind and
his wages small, and these, small as
they were, were further reduced by his
being compelled to trade at.the village
store. In this latter respect the jour
neyman was little better of, as he, too,
traded at the store, and was fortunate
indeed if he received s5 in money each
week. We can call to mind the boy
who received $1.50 in money during
the first year, and the journeyman in
the same factory received So in cash a
week from January until July, and
replenished their impoverished pock-
etbooks by working in the harvest
fields for the neighboring farmers.
How different then and now! We enter
the carriage Woodshop of today, and
we see nothing of the old-time fittings,
neither do we see the apprentice. The
wheel maker is missing, and in
place of rough plank and thick panel
boards we find the workman supplied
with his framework timber dressed to
thickness, and not infrequently en-
tirely dressed to pattern, his panel
boards all planed to thickness, and
around him all manner Of appliances
to facilitate his work We are not re-
ferring to the wholesale factory, where
machinery fits almost everything
ready for gluing or screwing together
but in the shop of the custom builder
we see power machinery that relieves
the workman Of much of the heavy
labor. The shop is arranged to insure
comfort in winter as well as in sum
mer, and the sanitary conditions are
such as to protect the health of the
Workmen. The manufacturer of today
has learned the Importance of caring
for the convenience, comfort and
health of the employees. Wages are ar
ranged. on a more equitable basis; the
store order is a thing of>the past; the
wages earned are paid in cash, and
the workman is free to buy where he
vii His hours of abor are reduced
I and and fixed by law. Not only are the
wages higher than they were fifty
years ago, but the buying power of the
individual dollar is, with the single ex-
ception Of house rent, higher, and in
every way the worker is better stu
ated than he was then. "

The rapid strides made by the manu-
tfaeturers Of wood working machinery
have changed completely the fitting of
the carriage Woodshop of the present
day, says the Hub. Fifty years ago
one of the largest and best fitted wood
shops in the country was advanced so
far that it was provided with a cir.
cular saw, an upright saw hung on the
gate method, and a wheel boxing ma
chine, worked by hand power. All tim
Der that was to be planned by machin-
cry was sent to a shop where there was
- * circular planer and saws, the pro-
35prietor of which confined his attention
entirely to planning and saving for
carriage, wagon and cabinet factories
and carpenters and builders. Three
years later an enterprising machinist
set up head knife for dressing up the
heavy timbers, and the woodworkers
IN the cities began to get rid of some
OF his heaviest work, but he of the
country shop sawed out his shafts,
poles, felloes, ETC., by hand. Then a
set of rip and crosscut saws, which
saws, small and large, constituted an
important part of the woodWorker's

of hopefully by the government Off
cials, but slavery seems to be dis
tinctly and officially recognized by the
British government in certain sections
over which it exercises a protectorate.
& Who would expect in this age OF the
world British official to address mis-
sionaries in a country governed by
English in the following words:
You are aware Of the recent inquiry
made at Mombasa regarding the recep-
tion of runaway slaves at the various
missionary stations In the neignbor-

TRAFFIC IN HUMAN BEINGS.

hood. The inquiry brought to light
the very significant fact that over
]. 400 runaway slaves were found to be
harbored therein. Of which the large
majority were found in the church
mission station at Rabai. Almost
tWo-thirds of the fugitive slaves were
slaves who had escaped from their
Arab masters at Mombasa or other
coast ports. 5=s tt
would earnestly request your co.
operation on the three following
points: That no slaves are allowed to
remain within the limits or under the
protection Of your mission; that care
4 ful u watch be kept, and, if possible, no
runaway r away slaves be received in the ma
tive nuts of the mission; that in case
OF any runaway slave being received
within the settlement, either ON ac-
count of i'll treatment or because of
his having entered without the knowl-
edge of the mission authorities, he be
sent back to the Wall of Mombasa.'
Such is the circular sent out to the
missionaries in the neighborhood of
.Mombasa by Colonel an-Smith, and
ne urges as a reason for compliance
with his suggestion that the Arab
slave dealers feel hurt because their
runaway slaves are not returned to
them. There is railroad in Nom
basa and the British are Opening up
the country to civilization" Nom
basa is a fourishing seaport and the
slave traders see the Blitish flag flying
over their heads and look out across
the harbor where fly the white en-
signs of British men-of-war. But
their trade in human beings must not
be interfered with. -.. ">..s#
Sir A. Hardinge, in closing a report
20 Lord Salisbury, seems to be slightly
pro-slayery. He says in writing from
the shadow of the, British flag at
Mombasa: r.= - > ~
s Great suffering and hardship, espe-
cially to old and infirm persons and
minors, are often caused by the care
less liberation of legal slaves, who in
this country are still often the only
property of their owners, and I have
urged upon Mr.. Rogers the necessity
of making absolutely certain of lille
gal ownership before actually issuing
papers of freedom" II.
The slave trade and slavery is as
much Of an institution out there as
ever 1T was in our South before the
war. From the interior of Africa come

the coast towns, and the waters of the
Indian ocean and the Red sea are dot
ted with Arab dhows bearing the cap
tives to the slave marts of Asia. Many
of the missionaries have given pledges
that they will not harbor runaway
slaves at their missions, and some
openly have expressed pro-slavery
views. Sir A. Hardinge, that high
British official of the East African

Protect crate, quotes with approval an
Arab as saving to a missionary:
Il buy my slaves with my own hard
cash, or risk my life and fight for
them, and then you missionaries steal
them from me and make them your
own slaves without purchase. 2
Sir Iardinge seems to think the
Arab is in a legitimate business, and
the missionary really should not in
terfere and he doesn't very often.
When he does the government brings
him up with a round turn.
