grades. Another need Is. better homes.
Without good home life it is impossible
to have thrifty citizens therefore We
must pay our unskilled laborer sufficient
wages to support a place worth calling
a home, and give his children and wife
some of the advantages of such a home
If his vile is compelled to go out and
work to help earn a living, her home
must be neglected, her children run the
streets, and soon finds her boys tramps
or criminals and her daughters prosti-
tutes
1t is impossible for her to both
keep a home and. work half her time
in other peoples homes. No wonder so
many men fee from such and find their
way to the nearest saloon. Any place
seems better than such a home. 1t will
be we'll for our men of wealth to consid-
er the need of better homes for our
poor. While colleges and libraries are
good things, they, in the very nature
OF the case, do not reach the mass of
unslilled laborers and their families
Also our temperance friends, who fight
the saloons, must realize that the most
effective way to down the saloon is by
substituting better homes and environ
ments, which will do more to close the
saloon than any legislative enactments.
The saloon f1ourishes where homes are
scarce and tenements and sha1ties are
plentiful ID. Morgan.

On an uptown thoroughfare is GER
tain window which seems able at al
hours to hold about it a group of inter
ested pedestrians. Behind the glass sill
two dark-eyed maidens dressed in Tur.
kish costumes
With a swiftness which to the uninitiat-
ed seems little short of marvellous they
fashion hundreds cigarettes while one
looks on Their fingers fairly twinkle as
they form numerous paper cylinders, cut
the tobacco and draw it, dexterously and
evenly, into its sheath
AS they work they keep up eeaseiess
chatter between themselves, or look oil
at the passers-by. But their fingers ney-
er falter From morning to night they
never seem to tire. =
Even to the casual observer the exhibit
ton is a Fascinating one. Of the hundreds
who pause before this window each day,
however, probably not one understands
the real interest that centers about 1t in
another world. as
: Few dream that these two girls are the
uncrowned queens of their kind, that the
window bench is seat of honor on which
they sit enthroned; that to preside there
on is the ambition of every cigarette cir
= in New York, one which can never be
realized unless she be both pretty and
an expert worker.
There is a hint of romance too, in, the
fact that those inside the store know
this window as the matrimonial Bll-
ssreau.' To wear becoming costume ot
red satin and gold is to have an added
attractiveness in the eyes of many.
Z And then there is the best possible OPP
portunity in the world to display a pair
of pretty hands. Stories are told of more
than one maiden whose Prince Charming
first saw her as he glanced through the
glass on his way down town. Perhaps
there is much fiction woven into these
stales. Be that as it may, few girls con-
tinue to work in the window long. sa
, There are no Americans among The
: New York girls who make high-grade
cigarettes. They come from Russia
Greece and Egypt. A few of these girls
drift to England, and finally on to the
new land of promise.
That there are so few of these girls
is one. of the puzzling things about The
work. Men almost monopolize the making
Z ofsgcigarettes in this country, though
their fingers are not SO deft as a WON
ans and dizziness of fingers contributes
toward success. 2SSs
1t is one of the best paying of trades
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-12-29

for women. Twelve dollars week is the
minimum salary of the cigarette maker.
Those who turn out about 1000 cigarettes
a day, as do the girls in the window,
draw $50 a week. A fair average wage
seems to be SIG per week, but New York
young women cannot be induced to take
it up.
'.They seem to consider it beneath
them" said a Turkish gentleman, in
speaking on the subject. ''The girl who
has been educated in this country may
go into store, or work in factories, but
she looks down upon. cigarette making.
Girls reared in other countries have
not such high opinions of themselves.
The salary that the expert cigarette
maker earns n fortune compared with
that which many bright American girls
have to be contented with in other trades.
/ ..Oh yes, the American girls could
learn. The work is easy, once one gets
the knack. 1t takes only about three
I months to become an expert Then, the
American girl goes into everything she
does with such vim that she is sure to
succeed, generally speaking, in anything
| she attempts.
1--WE train very few girls. We can
get all the skilled workers we want from
among the foreigners Still, we sometimes
teach the girls who come to our factory
as packers.
Just at present there are two particu-
| larry attractive girls over there who
are training to fit themselves for win
dow work. Americans? Oh, no. 5.lzA1
the employees of the factory at present
are Greeks, though sometimes we have
Egyptians.
THAT may be a reason why the Ameri-
can girl does not take up this work. She
would find herself in the midst ofefor-
| eigners in our factory, and hear on all
sides a chatter in unknown tongues. She
would not feel at home.
ITO educate a packer for a cigarette
maker is, of course, a promotion. There
are thousands of girls packing cigarettes
throughout the city. They work for
small salaries. The cigarette maker is
paid by the thousand. Her earnings de-
pend on her ability; but even an inexpert
maker earns more than packer.
Each workers cigarettes go up to the
packer separately. Any cigarette which
is the least bit defective-say one in which
4here is more tobacco in one end ttlan
in the other-is discarded and deducted
from her account A good worker turns
out 1000 cigarettes day.
1.-THE best workers we ever had were
an Armenian and his wife. They worked
together, the woman making the cases
and clipping the ends, the man cutting
the tobacco and putting it into the COW
erings. BY this system they turned out
between 4,500 and 5000 day. Their kiti
was 9orth a small fortune to them.

man, that girls never remaia in the
