The fare of Workmen is a question
which is discussed in the Engineering
Magazine by a well known writer. He
says that in gathering matter for the
purpose Of this subject: II studied for
some time a very representative class of
laborers in an area in which the stand
ard rate was 16 shillings per week
Many of these men carried dinners to
work. and the appearance of these par
cells when opened at dinner time gave
no little insight into the reason for lack
of co. and the almost complete alb
sence Of staying power, by which these
men were characterized. As is usual
with this class, the quantity and quail
ity of the food fell as the week pro-
crossed, and towards the end the din
ners usually consisted of bread and
cheese or of bread smeared with lard
or margarine, and occasionally dry
bread only washed down with tea. One
set Of four men were in the habit Of
clubbing together and purchasing a
luxury when their parcels happened to
contain, as was not infrequent, bread
only. They would subscribe half
penny eacn for the purpose of this lux
ury, which often as not consisted of a
two-penny bottle of doubtful pickles.
Should this seem exaggerated to any
reader, ] would ask him to divide care
fully a weekly when full
weeks are worked of 16 shillings, and
make it cover all charges for family
rent, food, fuel, clothing and contin-
gencies such as sickness, absence or
scarcity of employment, etc. Such an
arithmetical exercise will doubtless
demonstrate the fact that not all
Britons fare on the time-honored roast
beef and plum duff"

The Philadelphia district attorney
has completed his investigation of the
charges brought against Senator Quay
for violation of the federal law by So
Letting campaign contributions from
office holders. OF course the attorney
entirely vindicates the senator, who, it
seems from the attorneys report, was
in dense ignorance Of the fact that his
name was used. If the senator had
been less successful in the manipula-
ton of the Pennsylvania elections the
attorney might have found differently

several weeks it has been scorching
hot, but as if for the especial com
fort of our visitors yesterday re-
manned cloudy all day, with now and
then a very slight sprinkle, just
enough to keep the air cool and take
the edge off the dust. 1t was cool
and pleasant from the early dawn,
when some of our best citizens arose
from their beds to view the unload
ing, until the last elephant had
climbed into the car at night for
departure. The circus was every
thing its advertisements called for.
There are none better than Ringlngs,
The parade was a magnificent spec
tacle and was viewed by 5000 peo-
